Chapter 36 Youthful Innocence I Want You to Kiss Me Now
Ximo had only been there for two hours. Due to a report, he couldn't stay for a meal. After giving a brief explanation, he left the correctional facility with the insect cub.
Ximo stood up, nodded apologetically, then glanced at the furious Miaoqie, a hint of silence flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "The Third Army has some matters that require my attention, so I won't linger any longer."
"Please take care, gentlemen."
Hillland saw that it was almost time and didn't think anything was wrong, so he politely said goodbye to the other male insects.
Miaoche stood in the middle, his face sour, as if the whole world had offended him. He pouted and didn't say a word, clearly hating the idea of taking the female insect away from him.
They were having a good chat when Ximoduo suddenly turned away and became clearly annoyed.
If something's wrong, then something's wrong!!! Why didn't you say when you'd come to see him next time?! You're so stupid, you didn't even think of that! I'm so angry!
Muche's resentment began to grow very strong.
Hillland saw this and found it amusing. "Even if you're dissatisfied now, Ximoduo can't see it. Why didn't you say so before he left?"
Once his trick was seen through, Mouche deflated like a punctured balloon. He angrily lashed out at Hillan, "I don't care, I told you directly that I had already given you the hints, and if you still don't understand, that's your fault!"
Haibi looked at him with a pitiful expression and shook his head dismissively.
"That's definitely not enough."
Lippers nodded. Having heard Hillland teach him many ways to get along, he naturally understood why. "However, I feel that your Queen is quite afraid of you, but not in the usual way."
"But I don't know the details. Just be careful and don't take saving face too seriously."
After saying that, Muche's eyes widened instantly, and he looked incredulous. "What do male insects care about if they don't care about their reputation?!"
Do you care about the female insect?
Ximo seemed completely indifferent to him!
Miao Qie was so angry that he died instantly. He simply couldn't reason with these male insects who had a good relationship with the female rulers!
Hillland blinked. "Don't be angry. I think he seems to care little about you because he doesn't understand you well, or he thinks you're always throwing tantrums and he wants to avoid making mistakes."
That's easy to understand. Isn't the reason they're keeping a low profile just that? They want to ascertain Miaoqie's attitude first.
Hillland pondered for a moment, then looked at the stunned Mouche, "Does he often let you hit him?"
Muche nodded stiffly.
Hillland thought so, that was probably the reason. "He probably isn't the kind of insect who understands these intricacies. Maybe you need to be more direct, otherwise he will just treat you according to the usual way of getting along. I remember when female insects were trained, there were rules in the doctrine that female insects were not allowed to overstep the boundaries too much."
Miu Che was completely deflated.
You want him to be direct? Fine! If that scoundrel Ximoduo still can't understand, then Ximoduo is doomed!
That stupid female insect is so awful!
The matter passed, and in the following days, Miaoqie could be seen chatting with Ximo frequently, putting in a lot of effort.
The conversation between Sanli and Lippers returned to its previous state, seemingly unaffected by Lippers's previous request to meet.
The couple that's progressing the fastest is Haibi and Sorenloo. During the day, Haibi spends her time either in class or bickering with Sorenloo, sending him a bunch of messages and waiting for the busy Sorenloo to reply. At night, Haibi and Sorenloo go home to make bug babies and try their best to give him pheromones.
During this time, Haibi also fully understood what kind of insect Sorenlo was.
He was very demanding of himself, meticulous, and once he got into his research, he couldn't get out of it. But when it came to Haibi, Sorenloh would be very indulgent, especially when Haibi was being noisy and just wanted him to say a few more words. He would try very hard to squeeze out time to cooperate.
To verify the results, Haibi annoyed Sorenlo for a long time, but he was not criticized, belittled, or attacked. When Haibi didn't control his temper, Sorenlo would just rub his temples in exasperation and even coax the male insect not to disturb him while he was working.
Haibi lacked family love during his youth, and Sorenlo's calm and tolerant qualities undeniably made Haibi fall even more deeply in love with him, and he felt joy and happiness from it.
Of course, when Hillland saw that he was always so childish and mischievous, he gave him a proper reminder.
“I think being childish as long as it doesn’t interfere with his work and life is helpful for the development of the relationship. If you’re always chatting with him, Sorenlo won’t be able to finish his work and will not be able to spend his whole time with you.”
It's normal to be overly enthusiastic when you first start dating.
Haibi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
You can't go wrong with listening to Hillan!
Haibi consulted Hillland for a while, then Hillland sent him away. He needed to devote himself fully to his exam preparation; there was still a lot of theoretical knowledge to solidify, so he couldn't relax. Time was running out, and he wanted to finish the exam as soon as possible. He planned to put all his effort into preparing for the next batch of exams a month later.
These days, Sersia has been guiding him through several surgeries, practicing and learning at the same time. Even though Hillan has a very strong learning ability, he can't help but worry about the huge workload.
Hillland extended his fingertip, adjusted his glasses, and resumed his review.
Time flies, and the Series A exam is just around the corner. Hillland has already written a leave request and is about to submit it when Lipper, who is sitting next to her, sees it.
"You're taking leave too?"
Hillland blinked, quite frankly, "Yes, I'm going to spend the day with my queen tomorrow."
Lippers hummed in agreement, looking somewhat distracted. "I'm also taking leave, but I'm going out the day after tomorrow. Have fun with you and Sersia."
Hillland said thank you, then seemed to remember something, "I remember you said you were going to meet with Sang Li? Where are you going to see him tomorrow?"
Lippers was taken aback. "I didn't expect that. I'm going to pick him up from his house. I'll decide the rest later."
Hillland was somewhat surprised by his decision, but it also seemed normal, since from the Zerg's perspective, things like dating preparations and emotional value wouldn't be taken seriously.
He sincerely suggested, "Sang Li probably doesn't like places with too many insects. You could try to find a suitable place where he feels safe and might open up. You could also bring him some gifts when you go there."
Hillland left it at that, and Lippers realized there were some things he hadn't considered, so he thanked her and then saw Hillland submit a leave request.
Tomorrow is the exam, and Hillland doesn't think he can learn enough in 45 days. After all, the total score is 220, and the passing score is 190.
Lippers had already left, and 99 popped out from behind the sofa, somewhat curious, "Host, didn't you get 182 last time when Sersia was proctoring you? What are you nervous about? You can practice again today. Anyway, you still have another chance if you don't pass, so what are you afraid of?"
Hillland raised his hand and rubbed his temples. With the exam approaching, he had been staying up very late lately, focusing entirely on studying in the flow room of the holographic pod.
He puts very little effort into anything else; studying is what he does most and is best at, but seeing his current state, Hillan can't relax either.
"Cercia said that no matter how I do on the exam, she will take me on a trip after I get out."
Although he wasn't told where he was going, he was told to prepare well.
Hillland is used to being outstanding and simply cannot do anything half-hearted; the pressure is immense.
I feel the same way. Learning such a thick amount of knowledge in 45 days is no different from pushing one's limits.
The system circled around him a few times, saying, "If you pass the exam, I think you could start selling courses to female insects."
How to efficiently extract the key points of knowledge in an unfamiliar field, absorb them in a short time, and skillfully handle various variations of exam questions? Countless people are willing to pay for tutorials on this topic.
—Children from China are still quite good at taking exams.
Hillland was laughing so hard at this course-selling idea.
"I'll consider it."
His most important task now is to learn by stealth, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Just as it was time to end, Hillland saw that familiar figure at the door.
Sersia was waiting for him as before. They would spend an hour traveling ahead to Aixing, the research mecca and the location of the Satell Research Institute.
"Let me take you to dinner first. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Sersia took the backpack from him and straightened Hillan's slightly crooked glasses. "There will be bugs to guide you through the exam room, so don't be nervous. You can get some rest today."
Hillland suddenly felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
His father was always worried about his grades dropping, not to force him to excel, but because he was afraid that his grades would drop as the difficulty increased in the new stage and he would feel disappointed.
His father would buy Hillland things he wanted at this time, so Hillland loved to talk to his father about his grades and coax his father, who only had a pitiful amount of savings left, to buy him this and that.
Hillland felt the same way, but the emotion was different from before. Just as Sersia let go, Hillland embraced her tightly.
Hillland gently kissed him on the cheek, then released him, her eyes sparkling. "Now I feel that exams are a very, very small thing."
Sersia smiled gently, took his hand in hers, and said softly, "That would be even better. I'll take you to the restaurant we booked."
Hillland thought it was a regular restaurant, but when he arrived, he found out it was a luxury restaurant on a floating island.
Hillland was speechless, as if he were mute.
This kind of restaurant probably requires proof of funds to open, right?!
Seemingly because Hillan's stunned expression was too obvious, Sersia gently shook his hand and whispered, "You can get in if you have money, don't worry. The food here is very special, I want to bring you to try it."
The floating islands soar into the clouds, offering a panoramic view of the most prosperous areas of the main planet from the windows. The scenery is so dazzling that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the projections and the real scenes with the naked eye.
Perhaps because the clouds were gathering, the setting sun looked like undulating waves, shining through the specially made glass like shattered shimmering light.
Cecilia was unaware that she was drowning in it; her whole body shone like a dazzling crystal, her pale skin radiating a soft and colorful glow.
Hillland sat opposite him, her gaze calm, subconsciously resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.
Sersia ordered a few dishes, then handed him the menu. "Anything else?"
Hillland glanced at it a few times and thought it was enough. When she saw the jasmine ice cream on top, her eyes lit up and she ordered two small cups.
"Eat this with me."
Sersia was surprised that he would order dessert, smiled and nodded, then handed the menu to the waiter next to her.
The dishes were served one after another. I have to say, the price is justified. The taste and atmosphere were both excellent. The ice cream they sold had a different texture than the various price ranges that Hillland had eaten. It was absolutely delicious.
“99,” Hillland whispered to the system, “Could you get the recipe for this ice cream?”
99 immediately appeared, scanned the screen, and then gave an OK sign.
Hillan was in a better mood and would occasionally imitate Sersia's dignified manners, eating his meal politely.
Hillan's subtle movements were completely undisguised, and Sersia, who was on the battlefield all year round, could not help but notice them. He did not react much, but the smile on his lips was always about to overflow, and he was struggling to hold it in.
He slowed down his movements, simply wanting Hillan to have fun, so his dignified demeanor, which was ingrained in his habits, began to become exaggerated.
Hillland's eyes crinkled with laughter.
"You saw it a long time ago, didn't you? You always tease me." Hillland finished eating, his eyes crinkling. "I'm done eating."
“Then let’s go,” Sersia stood up and naturally offered him her hand. “Let’s go home.”
Hillland blushed slightly, placed her hand in his, and then felt her hand being slowly gripped.
Hillland was led out, and they spent an hour arriving at another planet. Compared to the bright and bustling main planet, the climate of the planet was low, and it was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it seem somewhat gloomy.
The Satell Research Institute is located here. The female insect named Hillan is called Michelle, and she will use this identity to take exams and open the research institute.
"take it easy."
Sersia opened the door. There was a hotel not far from the research institute, which was set up specifically for the candidates.
"Get some rest today."
Hillland hummed in agreement. After taking a shower, he and Sersia lay down on the same bed and quietly embraced each other.
He wasn't nervous at all, but he wasn't sleepy either.
Hillan moved closer to Sersia and gently rested her chin on his shoulder, her voice low, as if asking a question, but more like a coquettish plea.
I want to sleep holding you like this.
Sersia slowly opened her eyes. "If you want, you can just hold me while we sleep."
Hillan began to feel a warm sensation in his heart. He unconsciously raised his body and turned Sersia, who had been facing away from him, back to him, and nestled into him, pressing against his neck in a sticky, clinging manner.
"Then I'll just hold you like this."
This was a position that wouldn't be good for either of their sleep quality when they hugged, but Kerssia didn't object at all. She raised her hand and slowly stroked Hillan's face.
He lowered his head, his icy blue eyes slowly looking at Hillland. His fingertips, which had been stroking Hillland's face, gradually slid down and unknowingly rested on Hillland's chin. He only needed to lift his head slightly to kiss him.
Do you want to talk to me?
Hillland is really sticky, like it's going to grow on him.
"I originally wanted to say that I really enjoyed simply holding you like this."
Hillland likes to express herself, but when her chin is pressed against hers, she can't say anything. It seems that the shyness she had as a young insect has been transferred to humans.
He gently nuzzled Sersia's hand, slowly...
"I want you to kiss me now."
