Recently, in the small circle of the main city area on the Capital Star, there are two male insects that have become quite popular.
One is Slucky. After officially entering the upper class, he began to frequently appear in social occasions of this class. He hosted banquets, socialized, and socialized as the lord of Gabharin. His beautiful figure and elegant conversation attracted the praise of many female insects, but also aroused the disgust and ridicule of many male insects. Most of them still called him "a bookworm". They generally disapproved and sneered at Slucky's pretense, so they would inevitably bring it up as a topic of conversation for fun and ridicule in daily life.
In fact, compared to before, after the engagement party was made public, Si Luqi's figure in the public eye no longer has such a strong visual sense of Fanlan. That is to say, at least you can't tell at a glance that he is wearing Fanlan's clothes or imitating Fanlan's hairstyle.
But it seems that we cannot say that he has completely developed his own style. There is always a subtle, indescribable sense of similarity. For example, if Fanlan wears star-shaped earrings today, then Slucky may have star earrings of the same texture and color on his ears. For example, if Fanlan wears a plaid shirt with a ruffled collar, in the past, Slucky would probably find a similar style with a similar design, but now he may not appear in a ruffled collar shirt. He may wear an outfit of a different style, but it happens to be matched with plaid elements, such as a plaid tie or handbag.
This leads to the fact that, although they are not exactly the same when viewed separately, people will not immediately think that Sleqi is learning from Fanlan, but if they appear in the same occasion, or if you saw Fanlan the day before yesterday and happened to see Sleqi the day after tomorrow, then a vague sense of connection will inevitably emerge in your mind, a subconscious feeling that there may be a connection between the two insects.
Once, Fanlan met him at a cocktail party of moderate size. Sluqi walked up to him, raised a graceful smile, and chatted with him for a while about the new film released by Longya Company. On that day, Fanlan wore a simple white shirt and black trousers, but his open collar revealed a black round crystal necklace on his neck, and his braid was tied with a headband inlaid with black round beads. He tied it rather carelessly, and some hair was loose after a day.
After the topic was exhausted, Slucky suddenly moved closer before leaving. The new master of the Harlin family, who had been pampered in recent days, was not dressed luxuriously, just a shirt and a dark suit-style windbreaker. He took two steps closer to Fanlan and raised his hand to help the latter tidy up the messy hair around his ears. Some strands of hair were entangled in the headband, making it look a bit unsmooth.
The male insect's fingertips slightly hooked the hairband and released the strand of hair stuck in it.
As he moved, a bracelet of black pearls was revealed on his wrist, which echoed with the gems on Fanlan's headband, appearing harmonious and harmonious.
This might be considered a very beautiful scene.
The other insects who noticed this scene had their eyes flickering and were whispering to each other.
A rumor spread like wildfire that night, and Nuolan Yang, as the commander of the melon-eating crowd, was the first to react and typed a question mark in their group chat window.

Without mentioning the rumors that became more and more numerous and increasingly outrageous in the future, in short, Slucky was indeed a hot topic, so much so that he became famous in a short period of time, although he received both praise and criticism.
Another male insect who has become a hot topic is Lin Shuran.
Compared to Slucky's mixed reviews which still had half a reputation, the comments and discussions about Lin Shuran were just weird and confusing.
Because Major General Alonso gave up the position of admiral of the left river line, which was already in his pocket, and chose to stay in his original position, the position naturally went to someone else. Seeing such a good piece of cake flying away, even bystanders couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The reason seems to be that Alonso's lord Lin Shuran does not want to marry a female servant.
Apparently Alonso obeyed the wishes of his lord and finally gave up the left river line known as the "Dyke of Life".
It may be necessary to mention here that there is an inevitable connection between Lin Shuran's refusal to marry a female maid and Alonso's giving up the office.
Because there are no insects available.
We have already understood that the Zerg family is essentially a business unit. The larger the family fortune, the more sufficient, reliable and trustworthy managers/workers are needed to take care of it. If the industry is too large, it is far from enough to rely on only the female monarch.
It would be fine if it is a commercial industry, as there is social labor available for employment. It would also be fine if it is an established large family, as they have sufficient foundation of house servants. But if it is a non-commodity economy industry built up by the achievements of individual insects in terms of military industry, occupied territory resources, etc., and the creator himself started out as a civilian, then Alonso would never go to Zuohe to develop if he wanted to retain the absolute right to speak in the current territory, unless there were insects left here that he could fully trust and represent him in making decisions.
Originally this was a simple matter, and this trustworthy insect was often played by a female servant. What could be more trustworthy and more representative of a community of interests than a family contract?
For example, the huge Chiraso family's industries certainly cannot be limited to the main planet. In fact, Mr. Came has so many female servants that he has female servants on several central planets who are responsible for running and managing the Chiraso family's industries there. They were originally Admiral Raphael's most trusted and promising subordinates.
And it's not just Came's female servants, there are also Came's male servants' female servants.
Yes, Cam's male son, Lester's male insect brother.
Although Lester has only one biological brother, Ryan, who is the son of Admiral Raphael, who is also a queen, it does not mean that Lester has only this one brother. You must know that among Came's many female servants, there are some lucky ones who have successfully seized the opportunity to give birth to offspring. Although due to the low conception rate of the Zerg, the number is far from large, but the maternal base is here, the list of the next generation of Chiraso can still be said to be full of Zerg talents, and among them, there are two male Zergs, as far as Fanlan knows, both of whom already have queens and many female servants, and the female Zergs attracted by them have undoubtedly formed a new family network, in charge of a branch industry of the Chiraso family outside the galaxy.
In this way, the family network continues to expand, making the prosperous more prosperous.
Therefore, it is easy to understand why Alonso gave up the promotion.
Because each insect has limited energy.
His current share of social assets has reached the limit of his personal ability.
He did not have the extra energy to take over Zuohe while still keeping control of his original territories thousands of star systems away. If he abandoned his original assets and chose to develop in new territories, although it sounded good, it was not safe. It was equivalent to starting over without the support of others. It was fine when he was alone and fearless, but now he already had a powerful master to support him, and he had made many enemies along the way. If they took advantage of the situation and targeted him, he would be in trouble.
Perhaps out of caution, Alonso finally chose to stay in his original position.
This greatly disappointed the group of bugs who were either watching or hoping that the young "Light of the Common People" Major General would move up to a higher level, and they began to talk about Lin Shuran who caused this result.
Everyone generally said that Lin Shuran's behavior confused them, as if he thought the queen was too capable and that the family property was too much to handle.
There are also those who are optimistic about Alonso and feel sorry for him. They think that with his abilities, he could marry a better male insect and would have a brighter future. He should not be like this now, trapped by the male insect's choice in career advancement.
This is incomprehensible to female insects.
How could there be a contradiction between "becoming more powerful" and "winning the favor of male insects"?
So, what is extremely rare is that not only male insects, but even female insects generally have negative comments about a male insect. The last male insect who was treated like this was Shuhao.
"I don't know what he was thinking", "What a pity for Alonso", in the eyes of the crowd, Alonso has become a miserable commander without any troops and carrying the burden of an eye-catching flower.
Therefore, when Fan Lan saw Lin Shuran again, the other party's condition seemed better than last time, but not too good.
After Lin Shuran saw clearly that the male insect in front of him was Fanlan, he smiled politely, but the smile was somewhat superficial and revealed a bit of melancholy.
Fanlan, who has a group of friends who love gossip, is quite familiar with his current situation, so he asked, "Are you suffering from the opinions of others?"
Lin Shuran seemed to want to shake his head, but hesitated, and finally said: "Not all of them..."
"Um?"
Lin Shuran was not too surprised to find that he didn't mind confiding in Fan Lan, even though they had only met once or twice.
"I'm wondering..." He seemed to be recalling and organizing his words, and finally said in a daze, "I'm wondering, does Alonso really like me?"
"Ah." Fan Lan uttered a single syllable, and didn't seem surprised that Lin Shuran had such doubts.
Lin Shuran sorted out his words and continued, "Alonso is undoubtedly very good. Yes, he is very good to me... But is he so good to me because he likes me, or because I am his master?"
"…I mean, if it wasn't me who was here today, if it wasn't me who happened to marry him, would it make any difference to him?"
"It seems... not. He is such a good female insect. He is always loyal, always considerate, and always loyal to his male insect, but... but it seems that this is only because the other party is his male insect. Now this male insect is me, but in fact it doesn't have to be me."
"It doesn't have to be me..."
"Has he ever seen the real me in his eyes?"
"Is it me he needs?"
"Or a 'male insect' will do?"
"Whether it's Lin Shuran or Ye Shuran, the male insect who becomes his male master can naturally obtain everything he offers."
"Does he really care who I am?"
“…”
silence.
Fanlan did not answer.
After a long while, Lin Shuran smiled bitterly, looked at the beautiful blond male insect, and murmured: "I..."
"I...thought everything was too simple."
"Thinking back now, these past few years seem like an unreal dream with a filter."
"In my dream, I looked at Alonso through the frosted glass, and he just looked at me quietly through the glass."
"A dream that I know is irrational, but I don't know when to wake up. I just go along with it and move forward in confusion."
"now……"
"Perhaps it's time for retribution."
