day73
The next day, Lester took Vanlan to visit Karenfa.
Karenfa was very lively during the truce. The usually neat and solemn streets were filled with mobile stalls and shuttle carts. Flower baskets and ribbons were flying in the air. This was the time for officers and soldiers to rest and relax, which made the whole city come alive. Goods, food, supplies, decorations, new energy... The streets were filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere like a festival, which made Vanlan's steps unconsciously become lighter. He walked leisurely in front, followed by Lester with a shopping bag hanging on his arm.
"Red or brown?" Fanlan suddenly stopped at the stall and turned around, putting a red beret on his head, holding another one in his other hand and gesturing next to his head.
Lester thought to himself that this hat was no different from the one he had just bought and was currently packing in his second shopping bag, but he wisely kept silent and only replied with insight: "Red."
Fanlan smiled slightly and bought the red beret from the stall owner.
Then the two insects continued to walk around.
Along the way, he not only bought things he liked, but also bought things for Lester. He packed all the clothes and daily necessities in shopping bags. He would try out some small jewelry and pendants, such as leather buckles, brooches, bracelets, and tie clips, on Lester. If he thought they were good, he would put them on and then pay for them. Similarly, he would often see something and think it was suitable for a friend, so he would buy them all and hand them over to the "mobile stand" that was one step away from him. He would go back and sort them slowly. Some would be sent back to the capital star with his carry-on luggage, while some would be sent directly by interstellar express.
At this time, he stopped in front of a small RV with beautiful color matching.
This is an original design store with strange and bizarre items, including accessories, handmade model toys, and handbags with different graffiti patterns. Fanlan also saw a cake fork that looked like a foot.
He picked up a pair of asymmetrical earrings, one pink and one blue, each about the size of a thumbnail, shaped like a pair of... potatoes? seals? Anyway, it was a bit abstract and a bit cute.
What Fanlan wore today was a pair of navy blue wide-leg pants, a plain tights and a white wool cardigan with a hint of gray, with a tassel necklace hanging on his chest. He raised his hand to take off the streamline earring on his right earlobe and put on the blue beaten potato earring.
For earrings of this size, one is enough; wearing two together will make you look a bit bulky.
He held the remaining pink, beaten potato and turned to look at Lester.
Lester also looked at him in silence.
Vanlan continued to look at Lester.
Lester: “…”
“Do I have to wear the pink one?”
Even if you have to weigh two evils, try to choose the lesser one.
"Pink doesn't go with my clothes today," said Fanlan.
"Is it suitable for me?"
"Hmm." Fanlan looked up and down at Lester, who was wearing a black shirt, black leather pants and black boots, and smiled faintly, "Actually, pink and black is a very classic combination."
“…”
The red-haired female insect lowered her head resignedly and put her face close to Fanlan's raised hand.
Fanlan took off the black earring on his left ear and replaced it with a dark pink beaten potato.
That’s right—Lester also has pierced ears, two, both on the lobe of his left ear, which he got when he accompanied Vanlan.
When he was still in the main house of Chiraso, one day, the young Vanlan took out an ear piercing device he bought online and gave it to Lester, asking him to help him with it.
Lester held the small ear-piercing device and did not meet Fanlan's request immediately, but frowned slightly.
Fanlan: "It's okay. It doesn't hurt to get your ears pierced."
Lester: "You must do this?"
It was obvious that he was extremely reluctant to inflict any wound on Fanlan.
Fanlan: "If you don't help me, I'll do it myself."
Lester: “…”
Fanlan: "It really doesn't hurt. If you don't believe me, try it on your ear. The pain is just like a mosquito bite."
Lester then raised his hand and pressed the piercer on his left earlobe with an expressionless face. The flying needle quickly pierced his earlobe and fixed itself there without even a drop of blood left.
Fanlan asked: "How is it?"
Lester: “It hurts.”
Fanlan: “…”
Fanlan stretched out her leg and kicked him lightly: "Don't pretend."
Lester: “Really.”
Fanlan: "Give it to me, I can do it myself."
Lester: “…No.”
Fanlan: "Will you give it to me?"
Lester: "Forget it, I'll call you."
He was afraid that Fanlan's hands would not be steady. This thing really had no feeling of stability, accuracy and speed, but if it was slow or his hand slipped, it would be hard to say.
So in the end, Lester reluctantly and painfully helped Fanlan pierce one on each ear - since the second young master of the Chiraso family was born, he probably had never shown such an obvious "pain" expression on his face. When Fanlan said that he needed to pierce the high earlobes, Lester waved his hand in surrender.
"Stop, let's just leave it at that for today. Let me take my time."
Fanlan stared at him for a few seconds, and seeing that Lester's expression left no room for negotiation, he curled his lips and did not force it.
He raised his hand to touch the new ear needle, but Lester quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't touch it."
The female insect took a can of skin disinfectant spray and sprayed both of his ears. She did not loosen her hand that was holding the little male insect's wrist, obviously afraid that he could not help but touch it randomly, causing the wound to become inflamed.
Later one day, when Vanlan found an opportunity to add new ear piercings, Lester, as usual, tried a needle on his own ear first, and still told Vanlan in a serious manner that it was very painful. Vanlan smiled, not wanting to pay attention to him, and completed the ear piercing layout according to her own aesthetic taste.
The timeline returns to the present.
After a day of shopping, Fanlan was finally tired.
The accompanying aircraft has already helped Lester transport three full loads of shopping bags.
Fanlan's account card, which was not rich to begin with, went bankrupt due to today's misfortune, but fortunately, he was in Karenfa today, so when Lester heard the "insufficient balance" prompt, he opened the terminal and swiped twice. Fanlan's account, which had just almost dropped to 0, received a "huge" transfer prompt in an instant, completing a roller coaster-like ups and downs experience in two seconds.
Well, this is Vanlan’s financial situation, which is as ups and downs as ever, and full of dangers.
When they returned to the command ship at night, the hidden gazes they were greeted with became even more intense.
It was so intense that even Lester's sour face was no longer 100% effective.
Of course, there may be a certain factor in that, the pink beaten potato earrings next to that stinky face.
Today's Second Army Central Command Ship is just as ordinary, but there are undercurrents.
