Chapter 101 Dressing Room
It is said that ducks are the noisiest animals, but the fact is that dozens of insects can be quite noisy. Ludwig got into trouble and just walked away, leaving Amber sitting in her seat to answer questions from her colleagues.
"Mr. Amber, Mr. Amber, why did Major General Ludwig suddenly send you a tie? Does he want to get back together with you?!"
"Are you guys back together again?"
"Is Major General Ludwig pursuing you?!"
Amber folded the tie and put it in her pocket. She didn't like sharing her private affairs with an irrelevant person, but if he didn't say anything, no one knew what rumors would spread. She responded for the first time: "No, he didn't pursue me."
As soon as these words came out, the female insects who admired him just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second they heard Amber add: "I am dating Major General Ludwig, and we will get engaged again in a while."
He ignored the surprised and shocked looks of his colleagues around him and left the office directly under the pretext of going out for some fresh air to avoid them asking more random questions.
Amber walked to the corridor, leaned against the railing and enjoyed the breeze for a while. He suddenly remembered something and took out the navy blue tie from his pocket. He looked at it carefully for a moment and felt that it looked familiar. Then he remembered that it was the tie that he had looked at twice in the luxury store when he was shopping that day. However, he did not buy it in the end because he had a similar one at home.
As luck would have it, the tie was tied around his neck.
Amber walked into the bathroom next door, untied her tie in front of the mirror, then put on the new one and tied a beautiful and strict knot, and finally looked a little satisfied.
He stared at the tie in the mirror, not knowing what he was thinking. His eyes softened for a moment, then he threw the old tie into the trash can and turned away.
Fogg just came out to look for Amber. He stared at the new tie that Male Insect had put on and asked subtly, "Are you really going to get engaged to Ludwig again?"
Amber raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
Fogg heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. He felt that Amber was quite to his liking. He would be somewhat embarrassed if she quarreled with Ludwig. He did not expect that the two insects would get engaged directly. He tapped Amber's shoulder and said generously, "Okay, then we are a family from now on. If you need any help, just tell me. I won't say a single 'no'."
It would have been fine if he didn't ask, but once he did, Amber really remembered that she needed his help with something: "Would you mind doing me a small favor?"
"ah?"
Fogg was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself that he was just being polite, why did Amber take it seriously? However, he couldn't go back on his words, so he said, "If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."
Amber motioned for Fogg to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear. Fogg's expression changed again and again, which was particularly interesting: "Why are you testing him for no reason?"
Amber smiled slightly: "Oh, nothing. I was followed by a strange bug on my way home from get off work last night. Although I didn't see his face clearly, I left a mark on his arm. You know, I had a conflict with Fang Yunqi yesterday, and I wanted to see if it was him."
Fogg was still hesitant: "If I were found out, I would be called a pervert, right?"
Amber comforted him, "Don't worry, no bugs will find it."
…
The office distributes snacks and drinks to employees every afternoon, which is a good welfare benefit. Fang Yun sat in his seat, inexplicably absent-minded, and couldn't help thinking about what the third prince said to Amber today, and his eyes darkened.
Why was Amber able to become the deputy chief of staff right after entering the army, while he was just an ordinary soldier? They were both male insects, so how was he inferior to the other?
The Third Prince is like this, and so is Major General Ludwig. Fang Yun really can't understand it.
He was once sad because he accidentally traveled from the Blue Star to the Zerg Tribe, but after getting familiar with it, he vaguely felt that he was the one chosen by fate. The bugs around him told him every day how unique he was, and over time he took it seriously.
But the appearance of Amber seemed to shatter all of this...
Fang Yun was upset and stood up to find a quiet place, but he bumped into a bug head-on. The drink in the bug's hand tilted and splashed all over him.
"ah,"
Amber took two steps back, uttered a slightly bland sound of surprise, and helplessly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Yun, I didn't mean it."
Fang Yun of course thought he did it on purpose, and angrily grabbed his collar and said, "Amber! You are bullying insects too much!"
Amber was not panicked at all: "Mr. Fang Yun, I have to remind you that if you fight again, you will be punished severely. The Black Eagle Corps is very strict in screening files. How about this, I will compensate you with a coat?"
Fang Yun stared at Amber with hostility and asked in a low voice: "Do you think you are amazing?!"
There were only a few of them in the office at the moment, as the rest of the bugs had gone next door to have afternoon tea. Facing this bug that he hated the most, Fang Yun finally took off his disguise.
Amber said calmly: "Mr. Fang Yun, I only know that we are all mortals, there is no difference."
If you think you are superior simply because you came into this world as a male insect, the last bit of human quality in you will eventually be wiped out, and you will become just like everyone else.
Unfortunately, Fang Yun didn't understand the hidden meaning of this sentence. He just thought Amber was being weird: "No, I'm not like you."
He is a human being, and these are insects.
Fang Yun angrily let go of Amber after saying this, and went to the locker room to change clothes while suppressing his anger. Although he received welfare subsidies every month, the capital was very expensive, and everything cost money. Yesterday's date with Sifley was another huge expense. He was not like Amber, who wore the same clothes every day without repeating them.
After searching the closet for a long time, he finally found a coat that was barely clean. Fang Yun took off his dirty clothes and was about to put them on when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure hiding in the corner. He was startled: "Who?!"
The other party did not move, but instead dodged backwards.
Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and walked over: "Amber?! Is it you!"
He saw a piece of clothing sticking out from behind the closet, and he was even more certain that Amber was hiding behind it. With a fierce look in his eyes, he kicked her directly. Unexpectedly, she cried out in pain, staggered to the ground, holding her chest: "Ouch! Fang Yun, you dare to hit me?!"
Fang Yun's expression changed: "Fogg?! Why is it you?!"
Fogg got up from the ground, holding his chest, gritting his teeth in anger: "Amber asked me to come over to bring you clothes, but I didn't expect you to hit me. What, this locker room is exclusively for you, and other bugs can't come in?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and punched Fang Yun hard: "Go to hell, you stinky bug!"
Fang Yun was hit unexpectedly. How could he be willing to take a beating in vain? He immediately started fighting with Foger. During the fight, there was a "swish" sound. The opponent suddenly tore the collar of his shirt, and the cloth was torn, revealing the gauze wrapped around his right arm, with sporadic bloodstains on it.
Fang Yun immediately stepped back and distanced himself, looking at Fogg with alert eyes: "What are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Foger's eyes flashed and he said with contempt, "What can I do? Don't worry, I have no interest in male insects like you."
He stopped talking and didn't want to fight anymore. He brushed off the dust on his body and walked out.
In the office, Amber was working at the computer. Not long after, a figure sat down next to him. Fogg lowered his voice and said, "There is gauze wrapped around his arm. There is indeed a wound."
Amber paused and asked, "Are you sure?"
Fogg said confidently: "Of course I am sure, I tore his clothes off with my own hands, with my own hands!"
In this case, the possibility that Fang Yun is the assassin is greatly increased, but Amber always feels that something is wrong. The other party is reckless and impulsive. Can he really come up with such a meticulous plan as poisoning the wine?
In just a few breaths, Amber's eyes dimmed and she had made a decision in her heart.
"What? You want to join the Black Eagle Legion?"
After nightfall, Ludwig climbed through the window to look for Amber as usual. As soon as he jumped onto the floor, he saw the male insect sitting at the desk, flipping through some documents. He asked slowly, "What do you think of me joining the Black Eagle Corps?"
Ludwig raised his hand and took off his military cap. He found that he could no longer understand Amber. He walked to the desk, brushed aside the clutter, and sat down directly. His black military boots were hanging in the air, and they gently rubbed the hem of Amber's suit pants under the table. He said in an ambiguous tone:
"I have long reminded you that the military is not a place for male insects, let alone the battlefield. They only told you that three male insects were selected into the legion in the history of the Empire. They certainly did not tell you that no less than six male insects died on the battlefield."
"Forget it, I don't want to be a widow..."
Just as he finished speaking, he was unexpectedly pulled into the male insect's arms and sat down, his cheek pressed against the other's shirt on his chest. It felt slightly cool in the air-conditioned room, but the body wrapped inside was warm, and his ears began to burn.
Amber lowered her eyes to look at the female insect in her arms, whose cheeks were flushed. Her long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and her eyes looked particularly deep: "Have I ever said that I have a tough life?"
Ludwig pursed his lips tightly: "But the battlefield is very dangerous."
Amber said bluntly: "If I want to kill a bug, I can't do it in the imperial city. I have to do it on the battlefield."
Ludwig was shocked when he heard this and sat up suddenly: "Who do you want to kill?"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the Black Eagle Corps had recruited a male insect today, and it seemed to be Fang Yun. His expression changed several times: "Do you want to kill Fang Yun?"
Really smart.
Amber raised her hand and touched Ludwig's face, and asked in a low voice: "Are you scared?"
Killing male insects is a serious crime. If it is exposed, Ludwig might be implicated. His military achievements and reputation will be gone.
“…”
Ludwig remained silent for a moment before frowning and asking, "Can you tell me why you wanted to kill him?"
Amber actually had no intention of killing Fang Yun. After all, he had never tried it himself, so he would not completely believe the identity of the assassin. But one thing was certain: "The thief who broke into my house last night might be him."
Ludwig's face darkened when he heard this: "He wants to kill you?"
Amber: "Maybe. I just know that he must hate me. You are one of the selection instructors for the Black Eagle Corps. So, can I be admitted?"
This sentence was obviously a bit of a joke, but Ludwig did not respond for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "If you just want to kill him, you don't have to go to the battlefield yourself."
Amber raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean?"
Ludwig: "I'll kill it for you."
He seemed to have made a decision. He looked up at Amber with a fierce look in his eyes. He repeated softly, "I'll help you kill him."
“…”
This time, Amber was the one who was stunned. He looked at Ludwig with a puzzled expression and unconsciously hugged the female insect tighter in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would fall off. He asked in a puzzled tone, "Why?"
In this seriously unbalanced world, there is no need for the female insect to take such a risk of ruining her reputation. After all, Amber can't give her anything.
Ludwig frowned. "No reason. If that's the only reason you want to go to the battlefield, you don't have to. I can kill the male insect for you."
Amber raised her hand and slowly smoothed his brow. Ludwig's eyebrows were actually very delicate, but because of his unruly personality, the first thing people noticed was his sharp aura. She said in a low voice: "What if we get discovered?"
Ludwig sneered: "If he was discovered, it's discovered. I was the one who killed him. What does it have to do with you?"
Amber simply let him sit in her arms, face to face, with her palms pressed against the thin waist of the female insect wrapped in military uniform, transmitting the temperature inch by inch: "Ludwig, you know what I'm asking, is it worth it... or are you so good to every fiancé?"
When Ludwig heard the last sentence, his face changed. He felt insulted. He growled angrily, like a savage beast: "I didn't!"
He had only met his first two fiancés a few times. It was said that they looked glamorous on the surface, but actually liked to torture female slaves in private. He and his comrades had even run into them several times when they occasionally appeared in the gray areas of the auction house. How could they be so kind to them with all their heart? Amber was simply a bad-tempered person!
Ludwig became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He struggled to get off Amber, but was pulled back by her wrist. He heard a low laugh that tickled his eardrums, and his chest was shaking:
"Then why are you so nice to me?"
Ludwig choked.
Amber simply slid the chair and pushed him against the table. Her handsome face became more profound under the light and shadow. Her tone was joking, but she couldn't hide her seriousness: "Tell me, Ludwig, I want to know."
Ludwig didn't know what to say. Under Amber's gaze, his strength seemed to be taken away by someone. His waist softened, and a layer of mist covered his amber eyes, which were more gorgeous than gems under the light. His eyelashes trembled, and a rare struggle flashed across his eyes:
"You are very good, sir..."
She was more powerful than any male insect Ludwig had ever seen in his life. No one knew that when he saw Amber's fierce and indifferent figure in the Saint Teran gladiator arena, his blood was boiling with excitement.
The corners of his eyes were red, his breathing was rapid, and it was especially clear in the quiet bedroom:
"But you are so cold..."
Ludwig could feel that Amber's eyes were cold and her heart must be cold too. If he wanted to be a partner with this male insect, he would have to be more patient.
"If you want to win at the gambling table, you must have enough chips and luck, but my luck has never been very good. If I want to win your heart, should I pay more?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If he wants to win the male insect's heart, he must take some action first. Otherwise, how can he impress such a cold-hearted soul?
Ludwig glanced at the tie on Amber's shirt collar. He leaned over and slowly untied the silky tie. He put his lips to the male insect's ear and whispered, "Wait until Fang Yun dies on the battlefield, then we'll come back and get married, okay?"
"It's not a deal, it's not a threat, I think you'll marry me willingly."
Amber said nothing, but slowly pulled the tie out of Ludwig's hand and covered his eyes. The royal blue tie was made of the finest satin fabric, shining with gorgeous color under the light, but it was no match for the female insect's skin, which was more delicate than cold jade.
Ludwig's sight suddenly fell into darkness, and his heart was beating like a drum. He only felt the male insect holding his waist very tightly, and a burning temperature fell on his ears. The other party whispered a word:
"good……"
