day7
When Ling Lin came out of the training ground, he received a notification that his application was approved.
He was not too surprised that he was able to date the male insect who was lined up with a huge number of insects. After all, whether in terms of his appearance, ability, personal qualities and other superficial conditions, or his background and wealth that accounted for hidden points in the system rating, he would definitely be one of the top ones.
Ling is the royal surname.
As the son of a prince, Ling Lin is the genuine crown prince of the empire. The current Insect Emperor has four sons. According to the order of succession, Ling Lin is the fifth in line to the throne.
Although the royal family has not interfered in government affairs for a long time in the Zerg, where the parliamentary system has been established for thousands of years, and the symbolic significance is far greater than the practical significance, the history of the birth of the Zerg and its long cultural heritage have made the people have a heartfelt respect and love for the king, so the royal family still has an irreplaceable and transcendent status in the Zerg.
So when Ling Lin asked for a date, it was hard to imagine any male insect refusing. It just seemed a bit sorry for his little cousin.
His cousin who was studying at the First University Business School had been talking about the male insect named Fanlan since two weeks ago.
Just as the system reminded him that he had not submitted a date application for a year, it recommended some male insect profiles according to his preferences, and Fanlan's profile was among them. When Ling Lin saw the slightly familiar name and the eye-catching photo, he did not hesitate and directly clicked on the date application.
Of course, Ling Lin didn't have any special thoughts about this male insect. A female insect of his status would never lack male insects around her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire had never had much interest in male insects. It was okay to have occasional contact with the delicate male insect, but a little closer contact would easily make the insect impatient.
So submitting a date application was more of a life spice created by coincidence that he happened to be free and saw the insect. After all, the male insect's face was really to Ling Lin's liking.
According to the male insect's hobbies, he made reservations and prepared several tickets for next week's art exhibition, as well as museum tickets and movie tickets.
Then he put the matter behind him.
—————
The next day, Fanlan drove to the agreed meeting place.
Two days ago, he had a brief online exchange with the other party on the social system. He rejected the other party's proposal to pick him up and instead agreed on a meeting address.
Having finally gotten his hands on the new hover car that he had been eyeing for a long time, Fanlan is unwilling to give up any opportunity to drive it in the near future.
There are few men who don't love cars. As a man, Fanlan also had a love for cars. Zergs are qualified to drive at the age of 14. As soon as Fanlan turned 14, he passed the driving qualification certificate and refused to be picked up by the servants of the Chiraso family. Later, his friends also saw his love for cars. Although they murmured that no male Zerg would be willing to drive himself - and manually, they still catered to his preferences.
For example, the Lightyear series W1000 commemorative model he is driving now is limited to 100 units in the universe. After being robbed and destroyed by space pirates, there are less than 30 units left, and there is no demand for it. If it were not for the help and convenience of one of his friends, Eli Walsh, the son of a giant in the hover car industry, it would be difficult for Vanlan to buy it even if he offered several times the price.
As they approached their destination, Fanlan saw a tall figure with dark brown hair from afar, who must be his date today.
—————
Ling Lin noticed the Lightyear W1000 approaching.
As a female insect, she would of course be attracted by such a car, but her top priority today was to date a male insect, so she only glanced at it and then looked away until the car stopped in front of him, the door opened, and a slender leg appeared in front of her first.
Ling Lin was stunned when he saw the face of the person who got off the bus.
It was not only because of Fanlan's superior appearance, after all, I was prepared for this when I saw the photo, but also because of Fanlan's dress.
Before the meeting, Ling Lin was already prepared to see a beautiful, dazzling, and exquisitely dressed male insect, perhaps in a casual dress, or a gorgeous style of fashion, or an elegant and noble lady's dress. In short, it would probably be a typical outfit of a pampered high-class male insect.
However, the male insect in front of him was not dressed in any of the above categories.
He wore a gray-silver leather jacket with a seemingly casual white T-shirt underneath. The metal necklace hanging on his chest was oddly shaped but beautiful. The hem of the T-shirt was tucked into overalls fastened with a belt. The trousers were high-waisted, making the male insect's legs look straight and slender, with amazing proportions. The black leather boots on his feet exuded a cold luster.
Ling Lin finally came back to his senses, put his thoughts aside, and politely greeted the male insect: "Hello, Mr. Fanlan, I am your date today, Ling Lin."
——————
Fanlan looked at his date, and he was as handsome as in the photo. With his deep features and tall and straight figure, he looked like a young and strong cheetah.
After introducing each other, Ling Lin asked him whether he would like to visit an art exhibition or a museum next.
Fan Lan tilted his head when he heard this and asked, "I remember that one of your hobbies is gliding."
He specially chose clothes suitable for outdoor activities today.
Ling Lin nodded and was about to explain that this was a relatively exciting individual sport. Although it was very interesting for female insects, he only played it occasionally.
Fanlan: "Then——"
"Let's go hang gliding in the mountains."
——————
When the two insects reached the top of the mountain, Ling Lin still had a complicated expression.
"Fanlan, this is a little dangerous. Maybe you can watch me..." At Fanlan's request, they no longer used honorifics to address each other.
"I think the protective device is enough to reassure the bugs, right?" Fan Lan interrupted Ling Lin while admiring the mountains in front of him.
“…”
Theoretically, advanced protective devices can eliminate the danger. Even if Vanlan rolls in the air or its mechanical wings break, the safety bag will be enough to pop out when the insect actually falls, and offset the impact of landing by wrapping the whole body.
But it only eliminates the physical danger, certainly not the psychological and spiritual danger. If Fanlan gets frightened, or becomes sick due to stimulation or something, it will of course be his responsibility as the inviter in the end.
He had tried to dissuade the male insect twice, but both times the male insect smiled and refused without giving him any room for argument. Honestly, this was the first time Ling Lin had encountered such a male insect. In the past, even if a male insect wanted to disobey him, it was mostly out of willful coquetry, which was not uncommon for spoiled male insects. For example, when a female insect said she wanted to go somewhere for a date and have dinner together, the male insect would snort and say he didn't like the food and wouldn't go.
And because of Ling Lin's identity, he had rarely encountered any male insects that would act willfully towards him.
Fanlan's refusal was different from the usual willful and coquettish male insects. His voice was very gentle and there was always a smile in his beautiful eyes. In fact, what he said was more like a notice that had already been decided, so the rest, whether suggestions or objections, had lost their meaning.
This is a very assertive male insect.
Having figured this out, Ling Lin stopped trying to persuade him. It felt strange to have the rhythm of the date controlled by the male insect, but Fanlan's gentle attitude without any arrogance would not disgust the insect, so Ling Lin did not intend to spoil the fun. He could only hope that when he really stood on the top of the mountain, facing the sky below, Fanlan would back down. You know, in many things, when you are a spectator, you feel that you can do it, but when it really comes to the end, your legs become weaker than before.
He helped Fanlan and himself put on the hang gliders, and carefully explained every detail and precaution: "...If you suddenly lose control of the direction, don't panic, say '1' or 'return to the origin' and it will automatically calibrate the direction...That's about it, do you want to watch me demonstrate it first?"
"Thank you. I've made note of that." Fanlan took off the necklace from around her neck to prevent it from dangling and colliding in the air.
Ling Lin wanted to wait for him to look at the distant mountains and then show a hesitant expression, and then persuade him to just watch him slide. However, before he could react, the latter had already jumped. Ling Lin only had time to see the fleeting platinum-colored hair in front of him, flashing a brilliant and captivating light in the sun.
The female insect had no choice but to jump down immediately after.
He accelerated and slid towards Fanlan. The male insect that was ahead of him was not as panicked or flustered as expected. His posture was relaxed and natural, and he was even able to control the direction freely. He flew obliquely across the canyon wall of the valley. From Ling Lin's perspective, he could see his profile that was favored by the Insect God. Coincidentally, Fanlan also turned his head to look at him, and the two lines of sight met in the air. The male insect seemed to smile, and his beautifully shaped lips opened and closed, making two simple lip shapes.
He was talking about "Ling Lin".
Ten thousand meters above the sky, the wind whistled in his ears, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could hear the rapid beating of his heart in his chest, which was roaring like thunder, drowning out all other sounds between heaven and earth.
