Chapter 30 Confession
The white-haired female insect laughed out loud.
He raised his eyes, his smile curved and his hair smooth.
Like a completely harmless Persian cat.
"You're laughing at me again." An Lang was a little depressed.
The white-haired female insect quickly stopped laughing: "Your Highness is pure and innocent, no insect can compare to you."
"I once asked Your Highness, and you said, 'No insect is more suitable than me.' I want to ask Your Highness, is this still true?"
"You still have the nerve to say that. I said that to Lan Xiu."
The smile on the white-haired female insect's face gradually faded, and An Lang noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Okay, I'm angry again.
As expected, he is still a moody villain.
"Stop changing the subject. I haven't held you accountable for lying to me yet!" An Lang is now the one who feels justified.
Lan Xiu's eyes darkened, and his light pink pupils turned into dark pink tourmaline under the shadow. Even the falling peach petals could not hide the fact that the pool was bottomless.
He looked at An Lang without saying a word, but the strength of his grip on An Lang's arm did not change at all.
"I haven't forgiven you yet." An Lang's eyes widened. "Why did you pretend to be Lan Xiu and stay by my side for so long?"
"No wonder you never told me your name!"
"No wonder you know all my schedules!"
When An Lang recalls it now, he feels that everything has a traceable path.
"Because His Highness keeps calling me 'the villain'."
An Lang: It was a mistake.
The term "big villain" came so easily to him. Since they had been honest and forthright, the big villain had shown no ill will and had saved him repeatedly. And because he was the only one who knew his otherworldly identity, An Lang naturally categorized him as a "comrade."
Tsk, it’s dark under the lamp!
When he found out Lan Xiu was from the Lan Clan, he had doubted him. But who could have imagined that the only two characteristics given by the system could be changed! The boy with black hair and red eyes would fade into white hair and pink eyes as he grew up!
"W-What do you want to do by staying beside me?"
Lan Xiu curled his eyes, and at this moment he became frank and told everything he knew.
"At first, I wanted to change my approach." He paused briefly, then embellished his words, "Life."
An Lang looked at him with dead eyes. "Change the way you live?" He didn't believe it. He thought he wanted to change the way the original owner died!
Lan Xiu recalled the murderous intent that had risen in his heart when he was in the 'Boundless' area, and now he felt a sense of fear.
Just a little bit, and he would not be able to see those eyes.
"Then I noticed the difference between you and 'him'." Lan Xiu continued.
"Is it that obvious?" An Lang frowned.
Lan Xiu's brows relaxed. He reached out to stroke An Lang's cheek, but ended up just brushing away the hair that had fallen on his forehead. "'He' is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as His Highness."
An Lang's expression froze for a moment.
The moment Lan Xiu reached out his hand, the scene of his head being pulled out flashed before his eyes, and he began to get goosebumps again.
A belated physiological reaction!
"Your Highness hates me?" Lan Xiu was still smiling, but An Lang keenly sensed the danger.
"Uh, that's not the case." An Lang was a little embarrassed. "You know I'm estrogen-phobic."
"Your Highness didn't do that to 'Lan Xiu', nor to the 'big villain', so why do you suddenly do that now?" His voice was as light as a cloud, and there was even a hint of blame in his tone.
An Lang was also very surprised. He didn't know why this disease was sometimes effective and sometimes not!
Obviously, when the villain saved him before and hugged him, he was fine.
An Lang stretched out his hand and smoothed the hair on his forehead: "How should I know? Lan Xiu is in his youthful form, the villain..."
An Lang guessed that the action of reaching out his hand just now was too similar to the horrific scene in his original memory.
"Hey, keep talking." An Lang waved his hand, urging Lan Xiu.
Lan Xiu transformed himself into a young boy again. His pink eyes turned darker into blood red, and his hair turned from white to black.
"How about this?"
An Lang stared at him for a long moment. "Even after knowing that 'Lan Xiu' is you, I still feel a little strange."
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the boy's face, gently pulling it to the side: "They look so similar, how come I didn't recognize it?"
He was simply impressed by himself.
Lan Xiu's red eyes became moist, looking tearful and a little pitiful.
"Your Highness, do you hate Lan Xiu?"
An Lang: “…”
"Don't do that. I'm getting goosebumps again." An Lang stepped back repeatedly. He felt sick when he thought that the pitiful and cute kid in front of him who looked like a little rabbit was the villain.
The boy turned back into an adult with white hair and pink eyes.
There were traces of moisture in his eyes, but his entire temperament had changed drastically.
Anlang has a sense of separation of the three-flowered lion.
So I can't blame him completely for not recognizing him! This temperament doesn't look like the same person at all!
It’s more like they are brothers with very different personalities!
"That's it, that's it!" An Lang said, "Just let me get used to it."
Lan Xiu was very perceptive. He pressed the issue, "Your Highness, are you willing to let me stay with you?"
This question made An Lang stunned. Although he was very shocked by the fact that Lan Xiu was the villain, he had never thought about staying away from Lan Xiu.
The villain smiled with his lips pursed.
He has a stunning appearance, but when he smiles like this, he exudes an inexplicable sense of innocence.
An Lang quickly looked away.
Beauty can mislead people. Beauty can mislead people.
An Lang was ready to end the conversation tonight and leave everything for tomorrow.
He was not planning to have dinner with Lan Xiu either. His mind was in a mess and he needed to sort it out.
"Let's talk tomorrow." An Lang pushed Lan Xiu and prepared to send him out.
"Then, I am attracted to you."
"Yeah, yeah, let's talk tomorrow—"
An Lang's voice suddenly changed: "You you you - what did you say?!"
Lan Xiu stood still. He had a strength that was totally inconsistent with his weak appearance. An Lang couldn't push him at all with just a little force.
"I like you." Lan Xiu said seriously, "That's why I stay by your side all the time."
"I gave you a chance to escape."
"But you chose me."
He spoke confidently, but in reality his fingers were already embedded in his palm.
"In Yongmen Village, in the City Lord's Mansion," he said. "I've confirmed it with you."
"twice."
An Lang was confused.
"When did you ask me for confirmation?"
"Yongmen Village, you stripped me naked," Lan Xiu emphasized. "We hugged each other, and you said, 'I'll brave the cold and snow to keep you warm.'"
"???" An Lang asked in surprise, "I was trying to save you!"
"No, you were awake at that time?!"
Lan Xiu looked at him and continued, "City Lord's Mansion, you said you would always treat me well."
"Please, I'm talking to little 'Lan Xiu'!"
Lan Xiu pursed his lips, and the light pink turned pale. He stood there, but his whole body seemed to be shaking.
In a split second, An Lang figured something out.
"Wow! It turns out you've been jealous of me for a long time!"
An Lang opened his eyes wide, as if he had discovered a new world.
"You're playing two roles, being jealous of the adult form and the child form!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the female insect's pink pupils suddenly widen.
"You still want to escape!" An Lang grabbed the female insect. The villain would disappear when he was unhappy, but fortunately he was well prepared this time.
However, the female insect was too strong, and An Lang was brought to the ground without noticing.
The two rolled into a ball.
"you!"
"Haha!" An Lang finally won back a game and would never let go. He flipped over to Lan Xiu and tightly grasped the white-haired female insect's right hand with one hand.
The two could hear each other's breathing.
Lan Xiu's hair was still stuck to An Lang's face, and then slowly separated from it due to gravity, bringing a tingling sensation.
For a moment, no insect spoke.
An Lang could only feel the heartbeats getting faster and faster coming from the chest pressed against him.
As if a resonance occurred, the one in his own chest also began to beat anxiously.
The pink spring water rippled and Anlang almost drowned in it.
The footsteps came from far away and were heard very clearly by the two of them lying on the ground.
Before An Lang could get up from Lan Xiu, he saw the corner of a dark green piece of clothing outside the door.
It turned out to be Lindbergh.
"How shameful!"
Lindbergh saw that the orchid, which was good at camouflage, started to harass its own male before dark and even harassed him to the ground.
The Lan tribe is notoriously jealous. He came here originally to give An Lang some advice, but who knew he would see such a scene as soon as he arrived.
He walked away again.
Only two bugs were left in the room, staring at each other.
You could hear a pin drop in the room.
"Ahem." An Lang cleared his throat and stood up. He tilted his head to the side, but extended his hand to Lan Xiu, "Get up first."
Lan Xiu put his hand on it and suddenly exerted force.
An Lang turned around and heard Lan Xiu ask seriously, "Your Highness, have you ever hoped that any bugs would appear during the competition?"
He had a tough stance, yet an expression that was surprisingly vulnerable.
It seemed as if An Lang's casual words could shatter the glass.
At this moment, he didn't seem like a villain who was extremely dangerous.
He was just a person begging for his love and mercy.
An Lang was dazed for a moment, and somehow he understood.
His ears started to feel hot for no apparent reason.
The room was quiet for a moment.
After a while, An Lang turned his head away and muttered, half complaining and half explaining: "That night, I wanted to ask if you were willing to help me."
He avoided the question.
The light in the eyes of the female insect with white hair and pink pupils began to ripple.
He finally got the answer he wanted.
"Didn't I agree to your confession?" An Lang continued, "I'm still a little angry that you lied to me for so long."
Well... although he has his reasons too.
"But I'll seriously consider it."
An Lang flicked his fingers lightly: "Because I also have a little bit of feelings for you..."
He snapped shut.
What if I can’t say it?
He is only in high school, how could he be single so inexplicably?
No, he is a married male now.
But even though he couldn't utter those two words, the female insect in front of him was already ecstatic.
He narrowed his eyes, his peach-pink pupils filled with joy.
An Lang's hand was held and placed on the extremely beautiful cheek of the white-haired female insect.
Lan Xiu gently rubbed the back of An Lang's hand, just like a cat.
He sighed.
"I love you."
——
"By the way, Big Villain, I have a question..." An Lang tilted his head, "When is your birthday?"
Lan Xiu put down the pen in his hand and looked at the male insect lying on the side reading a book not far away.
"If Your Highness is referring to the hatching day, it would be October 24th."
An Lang calculated and found that there were still nearly four months left.
He casually asked, "How old are you this year?"
He didn't notice the slightly stiff corners of Lan Xiu's lips.
"No!" An Lang sat up with a somersault, "Your body is smaller than mine now?"
Lan Xiu's pink eyes stared quietly at the male insect scratching its ears and cheeks in front of it.
"Your Highness, don't you like me?" He asked leisurely, holding his chin with his hand.
"Ahhhhh, that's not a crime!!!" An Lang jumped up, "No, no, we should sleep in separate rooms!!!"
Lan Xiu didn't know what An Lang's "crime" meant.
But there was no way he would move out of Anlang's bedroom.
"Your Highness, why don't you guess my age?" Lan Xiu said in a casual tone.
"You mean... your previous world?"
An Lang thought about it. Ome had said at the time that the villain would pull out the original owner's head three years later, and then the death of the last pure-blooded male insect of the Mantis tribe led to the decline of the Mantis tribe.
so……
"18? 20?" An Lang guessed.
The female insect's pink eyes darkened. He shook his head slightly, then said slowly, "Your Highness also said that he doesn't like young people..."
"Uh, how much is that?"
Lan Xiu did not answer, but continued: "Then Your Highness, guess how old the previous 'little' Lan Xiu was?"
"15?" After all, Xiao Lanxiu had only reached his chest before, so saying 15 was a high guess.
Lan Xiu covered his lips and continued to shake his head.
"My hatching day is..." Lan Xiu spit out a number.
An Lang's eyes widened in shock: "No, no, you look like that?? You're 19???"
"The adult stage of female insects is marked by the completion of awakening. The morphology of female insects before and after awakening is very different."
The general awakening time for female insects is 18 years old. Those with particularly strong abilities will awaken earlier, but generally speaking, it is about the same.
He was born with glandular hypoplasia, so he looked extremely thin and awakened slowly. Reed took advantage of this loophole and sent him into the palace.
In fact, Reed didn't know Lan Xiu's real age.
Because he didn't have a hatching day.
The date he reported to Anlang was actually just a note in the experimental record.
On October 24, 20xx, eggs A2/A13/B8/D6 hatched, all female.
"Is birthday the term used in your hometown?" Lan Xiu asked, "meaning the day of birth?"
"Yeah." An Lang felt a little sad. He realized how cold Lan Xiu's 'hatching day' was.
"Then Your Highness, would you allow me to change my birthday?"
"ah?"
"June 17th."
Lan Xiu's pink pupils shone slightly, as if he had returned to that day.
He was lying in the dirt with a puncture wound in his abdomen.
In the intense pain, he saw the wings of a male insect.
Trembling, like a flower that has just sprouted.
As the angle changes, it reflects light that appears blue, green, and gold.
They are shrouded in the female insect's red pupils, covering the sky and the earth like a dream woven in midsummer.
Also give him...
Brought new life.
