Reject

Wei Shao frowned: "What do you mean?"

Philo stared at him, as if trying to figure out whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.

But Wei Shao's expression was clearly the former.

Philo spoke slowly: "Male insects only release pheromones when they are aroused."

When he discovered that he could smell Wei Shao's pheromones, he felt no disgust or rejection, only endless joy.

Now Wei Shao was the one who was confused. He was shocked by those two words.

Emotion, movement? !

I swear to God, he really doesn’t! He's not a fucking pervert! !

However, even if he had eight mouths, it would be difficult for him to explain this matter. He couldn't just take off his pants to prove his innocence. Wei Shao's ears turned red, and he stared at Fei Luo for a few seconds with a stern face, then retorted bluntly: "You are talking nonsense!"

This made him look even more guilty, and Philo didn't believe it at all.

The system was annoyed: [What’s your attitude? Want to refuse but also to welcome? 】

Wei Shao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and immediately asked: [He lied to me, right? ! I absolutely cannot...】

[He didn't lie to you. Generally speaking, adult male insects only release pheromones when they are aroused. 】

As Wei Shao was in a state of grief and indignation, the system continued: [But you are not an ordinary adult male insect. Didn’t you just get assimilated? Instability is also normal. Overheating of the body and excessive emotions may lead to pheromone leakage. 】

Wei Shao: [……]

MD why didn’t you tell me about the dead system earlier?

Seeing that Philo was still going to bring this up, Wei Shao immediately made a "stop" gesture.

Philo looked at him straight with his eyelashes fluttering.

Wei Shao pulled out a chair and walked to a large open space next to the dining table, got into a push-up position, and then turned to Philo and said, "Watch this."

After that, he did a hundred push-ups, then stood up, clapped his hands, and looked at Philo again: "How is it?"

Philo moved his lips and said honestly, "It looks good."

It really looks good.

Philo had seen the male insects that were taken back to the base. Most of them were thin and small, with thin shoulders and short legs. They had no aesthetic appeal at all. Wei Shao's appearance is completely out of the range of a normal male insect. He is even taller than some female insects, with long limbs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His muscle lines are not exaggerated, but smooth and well-proportioned.

Philo was once forced by Horace and Benny to discuss the body shape of male insects. At that time, he thought that male insects were really not that good-looking.

His brother looks good like that.

Wei Shao froze, his body numb as if it were pierced by an electric current. He said angrily, "...I was asking you if you smelled anything?"

In the past, Wei Shao would never get angry because of such casual compliments. Most of the time, Wei Shao would suppress his inner pride, curl his lips, and lean over to rub his head.

Philo lowered his eyes and replied, "I smell your pheromones."

Wei Shao was afraid of embarrassing him, so he looked away, coughed lightly, and said vaguely: "It's okay as long as you smell it... It's not like that."

Fei Luo lowered his head and said nothing. Wei Shao couldn't figure out his emotions.

He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over to Philo, gently ruffled his soft hair as usual, and said half seriously and half as a reminder: "I will always be your brother."

-

Philo soon turned sixteen. Perhaps because he had grown too fast in the past few years, he hardly changed in this year.

The time Wei Shao spent here was visibly shortening, and his frequency was also decreasing.

The main reason is the system. The last turmoil has put the system into a state where it is almost on the alert, and has strictly restricted Wei Shao's interactions.

However, Philo didn't know that he was still waiting as usual, cooking a table of meals during every day when he could wait for Wei Shao, and then the meals would be left cold.

He could never wait, nor could he stay.

Benny noticed his depression, and would drag him along to play even when they were not on a mission. Just like before, most of the time it was Horace and Benny who argued, and Horace could never win the argument. Luke and Mi Ni would try to keep Benny quiet, and Benny would then put his arm around his shoulders and ask him to judge the matter.

Everything seems to be working fine.

Sometimes Philo himself couldn't figure out whether he wanted Wei Shao to stay because he really needed him to, or whether it was some kind of obsession that had grown into his flesh and blood.

-

Luke couldn't see any insects in recent days. After asking Benny, he found out that he was caught by a male insect in the male insect shelter at the base.

Of course, these are Benny's original words. In Luke's own words, he met a very different male insect, who was handsome, charming, neither humble nor arrogant, gentle and considerate... In short, he was the best in the world.

This kind of goodness should not be fake, because the male insect is not only the object of Luke's admiration, but also the insect that the leader of the second base has been chasing for three months.

Entering the male insect shelter is equivalent to being under the actual control of the base. However, that male insect was favored by the leader and was able to prevent the leader from using force on him, which shows that he is a guy with some means.

Although Benny and Horace did not show it directly, they were actually very anxious. They tried their best to persuade Luke many times, but failed. Finally, they sent the youngest Philo to persuade him.

Philo was a bit of a fool in front of people other than Wei Shao, and Luke was not a talkative person. The two looked at each other for a moment, and it was Luke who took the initiative to speak: "Did they instigate you to come here?"

Philo nodded: "Yes, they don't want you to continue to associate with the male insect in the shelter."

Luke smiled slightly: "What about you?"

Philo: “Me too.”

Luke wasn't angry, he just asked, "Do you also think there's no benefit for me to be with him?"

Philo shook his head: "Yes, you like him, that's the good thing. But being with him will bring you a lot of disadvantages, so I don't want it."

Luke was stunned for a moment, then laughed quietly and hooked his shoulder: "I always thought you were young and didn't know anything, so I was worried about you... I didn't expect you knew more than them."

Philo looked at him: "Do you like him very much?"

I like it so much that I have to stick with it even if it means taking on dangers that I could have avoided.

Luke raised his head and sighed softly, his burgundy hair falling to his shoulders: "Yeah."

He turned his head, looked at Philo, and took the initiative and asked, "What about you, you and Weiss, what do you like about him?"

Philo suddenly fell silent. Just when Luke thought he would not get an answer, he whispered, "I want to keep him by my side forever."

Luke smiled: "What a coincidence... I had the same thought about Jonah."

Philo looked sideways at him and continued, "I don't want him to treat other bugs like he did to me."

Luke summed it up for him: "You hope you'll always be special to him."

Philo uttered a low "hmm".

Luke helped him analyze: "Then maybe you like him - or maybe you are just dependent on him. You need to test it and ask yourself."

Philo looked at him: "Why?"

Luke: "When you stare at him for more than five seconds, do you feel any impulse?"

Philo pursed his lips slightly and replied: "...I want to hug him."

And… touch him as much as possible.

"Little brat," Luke patted his shoulder, "After today, try to look him in the eye for more than ten seconds and see if you can't help but want to kiss him."

…

"How about it?"

"What did he say?"

As soon as Philo came out, he was surrounded by Benny and Horace, both of whom looked nervous.

Philo shook his head. "Luke really likes that bug."

He couldn't persuade her, nor did he want to.

Benny's eyes darkened. "Oh my god, your tone sounds like you were not persuaded by him, but you were brainwashed by him."

Philo: “…”

Luke also opened the door and walked out. He just heard this and glared at Benny: "What are you doing here, eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"It's hard to persuade a damned guy with good words!" Horace said this and walked away with his arms folded, his back revealing anger.

He always had this temper, and Luke was too lazy to be angry with him. He turned to Benny and said, "I've made up my mind. If the leader really wants to embarrass me, I will voluntarily withdraw from the team."

It won't cause any trouble for anyone.

Benny, who was always smiling, looked gloomy. "Do you think that Horace and I went through so much trouble just to force you to quit the team?"

Luke let out a deep breath: "That's not what I meant."

Benny scoffed, "What do you mean? We've known each other for so many years, but it's not as good as the three months you've known him."

He also walked away.

Luke has always been the one who mediates fights in the team, but this time he became the target of public criticism for the first time. He clenched his fists and his eyes felt a little sore.

Just like he patted himself just now, Philo also patted his shoulder: "I'll go talk to them."

…

Benny and Horace were still angry. When they saw Philo approaching, they asked angrily, "Are you going to be his lobbyist?"

Philo didn't say yes or no, he sat down between them and said in a flat tone: "Luke is twenty-five years old this year."

Just one sentence reduced a lot of their anger.

Philo continued, "Luke is the same as us, he is not a sub-female, and his violent period will definitely come before he is thirty-five years old, so it is only a matter of time before he finds a male insect."

Benny frowned and said nothing.

Hollus said angrily, "Can't other bugs do that? Do we have to fight with the leader?"

Philo said: "Since Luke likes him, it at least means that he treats Luke well. Can other insects do that?"

Benny asked, "How do you know he's not faking it?"

Philo said calmly, "I have already discussed this with Luke. I asked Luke to ask him in two days if he is willing to let Luke take him away from the Second Base. If he is not willing, Luke will give up on him."

Hollus didn't respond. "Where else can we go if we leave the Second Base?"

Philo tapped his knuckles on the table. "There are many bases in the south. We won't starve to death. It's just that—"

He looked at Benny and Horace. "The process is very troublesome and will offend the leader of the Second Base. The best way is of course to do as Luke said, let him quit the team, and we continue as before."

Horace was anxious: "Luke's leg, if he offends the leader and quits the team, how will he live in the future?"

Philo: "I won't comment. I'll listen to you."

Benny finally understood. He said with a serious face: "I knew you were here to lobby for him."

The space fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, Benny said impatiently: "Forget it, I'm tired of staying in the Northern Base anyway, let him do whatever he wants."

Horace said sternly, "Since he said so, I don't mind."
