day19
After submitting the homework for the public elective course, Fanlan prepared to get up and leave the classroom.
Suddenly, an almost inaudible voice came from beside me.
"that……"
He turned his head and saw a female insect he had never seen before. She was pretty and had her eyes downcast. She seemed very nervous, as if she had already used a lot of courage to speak to him.
The female insect only whispered, "Fanlan... Your Excellency, I would like to invite you to dinner... after sunset."
"I, I'm ready..."
He stammered, as if unable to continue, and only raised his eyes to glance at Fanlan's expression expectantly and cautiously.
Fanlan waited patiently for the other party to finish speaking, and when he saw that there was no follow-up, he apologized, "Sorry, it's not convenient tonight."
The female insect turned pale and stared at him intently. After a few seconds, she came to her senses, stood up and backed away in a panic, saying something like "sorry" and "sorry for disturbing you", and then hurriedly left as if she was running away.
Fanlan tilted his head, withdrew his gaze from the other person's hurried back, and continued to reply to the terminal message.
[Delifen: I am at Gate C2 of your school]
【Delifen: Class hasn’t ended yet?】
[Delifen: Hurry up, if you enter later you won’t get a good seat]
【To Delifen: Here we are. 】

A month later, Fanlan was walking on the campus road when he was stopped by a male insect who suddenly appeared.
The male insect looked at him with a look of unfriendly accusation and injustice. Fanlan recalled and was sure that he did not recognize this male insect.
"Mr. Fanlan, what I am about to say may be a little offensive, but as An Mo's friend, I think it is necessary to let you know."
Fanlan searched his memory again and confirmed that there was no such name as "An Mo".
Seeing that he did not answer, the male insect continued on his own.
"An Mo he——"
"I've liked you for two years."
Ah... I understand, Fanlan thought.
"He has been paying attention to you silently since the day you entered the school."
"Perhaps there are many bugs around you, and you have never paid attention to An Mo who silently watches you. However, for every school association meeting, every holiday, every birthday, or holiday... he has taken great pains to prepare gifts and arrange the most thoughtful dates."
“And you.”
"I never accepted a single appointment."
"Even if it's a gift given to you, you probably haven't even opened it to look at it, right?"
At this point, the male insect's tone contained a hint of sarcasm.
"Your good friend...ha, that arrogant and mean Senya Servidis, went to An Mo and told him to stop wanting to eat swan meat."
"Last month, that was the last time. That was him... Never mind. You probably aren't interested in that."
"From the distraught look on his face when he came back, I knew you must have failed to keep your promise again."
"After that day, he signed up for the Long-distance Special Forces."
The Far-Sail Special Forces are one of the most demanding special cruise forces. They will undergo a life-threatening training before setting sail, and they are not allowed to return within ten years after setting sail. They will go deep into the vastest space of the universe, explore and develop areas that the Zerg still know nothing about. They may encounter turbulence, black holes, and inexplicable disasters caused by the unknown. The Far-Sail Special Forces members who complete the ten-year mission can get the rank of second lieutenant at the lowest.
The members of the Far Ocean Special Forces are all heroes who are not afraid of life and death.
In other words, the members of the Long-distance Special Forces are all determined warriors who are determined to die.
An Mo applied to join the Long-distance Special Forces, which undoubtedly showed that he was completely disheartened.
"Today is the day that An Mo goes to the training base."
The strange male insect looked at him, trying to see his reaction.
Fanlan finally seemed to be about to speak.
The male insect found that his expression was still so damn calm.
Fanlan was not completely calm, in fact, he felt a little confused.
After confirming that the other party had no follow-up, Fanlan responded. He looked into the male insect's eyes, and his tone was eight parts serious and two parts quite simple questioning:
“So, what you want to say is…”
"Am I responsible for your friend's liking?"
…
The male insect was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
———————————
Fanlan has been loved by many insects and many people.
He never despised the likes of others.
But he couldn't respond to every like.
For example, the invitations, gifts, and confessions mentioned by the strange male insect may be the key details of life from the other party's perspective. However, for Fanlan, he experiences various invitations every day, from terminal lists, from offline, from strangers, from casual acquaintances, from alumni who just finished the same class...
A slightly apologetic refusal came as naturally to him as drinking water.
It is as essential as drinking water.
It would be too much to ask him to notice a quiet and silent gaze among countless rejections over the years, and to judge whether there is an unusually deep and strong friendship behind it.
As for gifts, he would not normally accept gifts from strangers, except on festivals like the Flower Festival, when gift giving was the custom. He would always receive a lot of gifts on that day, but due to the large number of gifts, he basically did not open them to check the contents.
This “large number” does not mean a large number in the sense of dozens or several hundred.
The Zerg are spread all over the universe. There are so many of them that the Capital College alone, a top-notch institution that gathers the elite of the elite, has its admissions restricted to the lowest number for a single college due to its strict enrollment policy. Even so, there are as many as one million Zerg students in each class.
With such a base number, during a festival where gifts can be given arbitrarily, the number of gifts Fanlan received...
The unit of counting is ten thousand.

"Alan Alan——"
The strange male insect saw Senya greeting him from afar, then looked at Fanlan, seemed not to know what to say, and finally left in a hurry.
Senya ran over and hugged Fanlan's arm.
"…Who is that? He looks familiar."
Senya stared at the back of the departing male insect and gradually narrowed his eyes.
"He is the friend of the insect you warned me about, 'Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.'" Fan Lan said calmly.
“…”
Senya's face flushed instantly.
"I, I didn't...Okay, I did, Alan, don't be angry, I won't do it again next time..."
Fanlan smiled and said nothing.
"Alan, Alan, can we have dinner together tonight? There is a new revolving Xitulanya restaurant opened in Ximen!"
"Not today."
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Well, no."
"I guess not even the day after tomorrow."
"How clever."
"Hmph... I'll ask again next week."
"Okay."
