Chapter 49 Wishes
That night, Xia Yi received a call, and the note displayed on her personal terminal was Zhao Xiuran.
Since Xia Yi was attacked, Zhao Xiuran has not called him again, but he would buy some small gifts and send them to him from time to time.
Xia Yi naturally wouldn't be angry with Zhao Xiuran. The attack on the restaurant was an accident, and Major General Enoch told him that when Feng Man was tried, the Zhao family was the first to vote for the death penalty.
"Hello, is this Xia Yi?" Zhao Xiuran's portrait appeared on the light screen. He was a little shy, with only a pair of eyes and furry tentacles showing.
"How are you feeling now?"
After receiving a positive response, Zhao Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, because you were attacked, Sunny Day has temporarily closed down after reinstalling. But recently, a lot of bugs have been leaving you messages online, and some have even sent you gifts." Zhao Xiuran scratched his cheek with his index finger. "I thought you might want to take a look."
"I'll send it to you in a flash!"
Bruno Prime's delivery efficiency is very high. Less than ten minutes after I hung up the phone, the express arrived.
Shay didn't expect there to be so many packages.
Some sent flowers, some sent local snacks, and some made cute little dolls. Some of them also contained valuable gifts. The most outrageous one was a package that contained the keys to the latest model of hover car.
Xia Yi could accept small gifts, but not expensive ones. Unable to find a way to return the gift, Xia Yi asked Zhao Xiuran in distress.
Zhao Xiuran in the video looked bewildered: "Just accept it. A hover car isn't expensive."
Shay:?
Sorry to bother you.
For the male insects in this world, this may really be a common occurrence.
"Ah, if you really want to withdraw, just post a notice on Sunnyday's official website."
So Xia Yi went to Qingtian’s official website, and only then did he discover that there were hundreds of messages for him.
Most of the messages were about Xia Yi's health, and some asked if Sunny Day could reopen. One message caught Xia Yi's attention.
[I hope Xia Yi won't feel any resentment towards the female insects because of a scum.
It’s quite painful to say, I am a D-level female insect. I have had few opportunities to come into contact with male insects since I was a child, let alone after I became an adult.
The current male-to-female ratio means I can't possibly marry a male. I don't hold out much hope, but I do have some self-awareness.
My plan for my insect life is to work hard, save enough money to open my own shop, and then after I turn forty, I'll get pregnant with a cute little insect...
But due to the objective conditions of the female insect's body, my spiritual sea is still restless, which makes my condition very bad. Before I unexpectedly entered the sunny day, I thought my condition would continue to get worse.
Sitting for a while on a sunny day is such a relaxing and healing experience. It makes me relax like never before. I can order a glass of juice and sit there all afternoon! And it’s even hand-squeezed by the male insects!!! To exchange it with Euphemia for a chance to meet the male insects, you need 50,000 contribution points! Where can I find such a good thing!!!
Xia Yi was the most gentle male insect I'd ever met. He treated every insect with respect, which made me temporarily forget the cold stares I'd received from the male insects due to my low spiritual power level. And I don't know if it was because of my contact with the male insects, but when I went to the hospital for a follow-up check, my υSP value had dropped significantly.
Hearing that Sunny Day had closed was a complete bummer! I really wanted to pull that Feng Man out and give him a good beating! Oh! Wow, if only Sunny Day could reopen!!!
Okay, enough talking. Finally, I sincerely hope that Xia Yi is in good health! Don't become estrogen-phobic because of a scumbag!!!]
When Shay saw this message, he remembered this regular customer.
There is a high percentage of handsome men among the Zerg tribe. Some experts believe that this is because male Zerg still retain their visual preference for courtship... In a place where there are many handsome men, this customer seems quite ordinary.
After asking once which drink was easiest to make, he always ordered that orange juice. He didn't talk much and would take his cup to the cutlery recycling area when he left, so Xia Yi was impressed by him.
Perhaps, chronic healing of the spiritual sea is actually effective?
Xia Yi called Zhao Xiuran again. Zhao Xiuran opened this store not to make money, but to verify the chronic healing project of the spiritual sea. Naturally, he had some data of volunteers.
"Well, although the value has dropped slightly, the υSP values of 68% of the female insects have indeed dropped. Among them, the υSP values of female insects who have been to the coffee shop more than 10 times have all dropped. And their latest mental state assessment shows that their satisfaction with life has also increased slightly." Zhao Xiuran sent the data report to Xia Yi.
"But... are you really willing to go back to work at Qingtian?" Xia Yi was attacked while at work, and Zhao Xiuran felt that this male insect would never return to Qingtian.
"Yeah." Xia Yi nodded. "It's a shame to close Sunny Day like this."
Shay has a strange empathy for the female Zerg, which may be due to the fact that he suffered from a terminal illness on Earth for many years. He sympathizes very much with these female Zerg who are suffering from the frenzy of their mental sea.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been caught in the rain before, so I always want to hold an umbrella for others.
Moreover, he had already learned the profession of spiritual healing, so if he could help more female insects, he would be very willing to do so.
Zhao Xiuran's eyes lit up: "Really?! That's great! Don't worry, I'll apply for additional guards!"
During dinner, Shay told Enoch that he wanted to go back to work on sunny days.
The major general sitting at the table opposite paused for a moment, holding the dinner knife almost imperceptibly. He put down the cutlery. The warm yellow restaurant light reflected in the female insect's gray eyes, a mixture of warmth and coldness, making it difficult to see his emotions.
Xia Yi pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous. He had caused Enoch a lot of trouble because of Feng Man's matter, and Enoch had been quite busy recently... Was he too willful?
Enoch exhaled softly, his eyes gentle. He took Shay's hand across the dining table, leaned down and planted a kiss on the back of his hand.
Major General Enoch said softly, "Among the Zerg, many females have gone berserk because they can't find solace in their spiritual sea. Your willingness to continue helping these females after the attack is due to your noble character and your compassionate heart."
"I thank you for your generosity and tenderness on their behalf."
"No... Enoch, I'm not as good as you say..." Shay's face flushed red.
"This is what I say as a major general of the Empire."
Enoch Webster paused for a moment, his gray eyes gazing deeply at the young but already sharp male insect across from him. "Next, I will say this as your female monarch."
"I want to hide you in my pocket and not let any other female insects have the chance to get close to you. I get jealous when I think they can see your smile."
Shay's face had become a ripe tomato, so red that it seemed as if juice was about to be squeezed out.
"But if this is your wish, I will definitely make it happen for you."
"Just... please grant me one wish."
"ah?"
"Please allow me to visit you." Major General Webster said slowly, staring at the young man in front of him without blinking.
"Of course." Shay nodded. "You're always welcome, Enoch..."
Although the reopening of Qingtian was not publicized much, Xia Yi was still shocked by the grand occasion that day.
Sunny Day covers a large area and can accommodate about seventy or eighty people at the same time. It adopts a reservation system, but many Zergs who did not get a number formed a long queue on the street that day, and hovercrafts filled Cruze Avenue. In the end, air traffic control had to be implemented and hovercrafts were not allowed to enter. This alleviated the traffic jam on the main star that had not been encountered for several years.
Xia Yi was so busy that Qingtian had to open up the reservations for the next week before the Zerg who were waiting in line and unable to enter the cafe could leave in disappointment.
Zhao Xiuran exhaled and said to Xia Yi, "I didn't expect you to be so famous now. It's true, after all, you've been on the trending search list for so long. Why don't you just become a star?"
Xia Yi quickly shook his head. He didn't think he was that kind of person.
"That's right, hahaha, but I'm very curious, how did you convince Major General Webster to let you out to work?" Zhao Xiuran's sleepy eyes, which had been drooping for a long time, looked at him brightly.
"Uh..." Xia Yi felt the pressure from Zhao Xiuran's eyes, and he explained, "Enoch is very understanding."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiuran frowned, revealing a skeptical expression: "Considerate? You mean the female insects? I heard that the Webster family is from the Chelicerate order Scorpionida... I heard, uh..."
Zhao Xiuran suddenly remembered that he was gossiping about Xia Yi's father-in-law, but looking at Xia Yi's dazed expression, he believed that Xia Yi definitely didn't know about this.
"Chelicerate..." Shay tilted his head. He knew that the Zerg were further divided into genera and orders, but he didn't know much about the Webster family. "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xiuran scratched his antennae and lowered his voice, "Most of our male insects don't have a very obvious order. The first-generation genes are basically recessive here, so many male insects don't have dominant species. We mainly look at the pheromone concentration."
"Unlike male insects, the dominant species has a significant influence on female insects. Whether a female has wings or a hooked tail is determined by this. It also influences her personality, habits, and combat effectiveness. That's why their order classifications are more detailed."
"Well, the Webster family is a typical scorpion family. Most of them have no wings, only tail hooks. And they are good at enduring and lying dormant, and then making a fatal blow. And because most scorpions are poisonous...so they don't have a very good reputation among male insects." Zhao Xiuran carefully observed Xia Yi's expression.
"The Major General's female father, Rossetti Webster, made remarkable contributions in the battle between the Empire and the Federation forty years ago, dismantling the Federation's disgusting male insect business. However, no insect has ever seen the Major General's male father..."
Zhao Xiuran licked his lips. "But Rossetti Webster's spiritual sea is very stable, so there is a saying that he ate his own male insect."
"Although this situation is most serious among the mantis, there are indeed precedents of female scorpions devouring male scorpions within the scorpion order."
