day13
Lin Shuran gradually adapted to life on the Insect Star.
He no longer expected to return to Earth, and because of what happened in the past year, he married Major General Alonso - this major general who was once in a court crisis, although he had made great military achievements, but a combat mistake and the accusation of injuring a male insect almost put him in jail. After some plot processes that readers are familiar with, Lin Shuran finally stood up and reached a marriage contract with the down-and-out major general amid an uproar.
Lin Shuran believed that although he had no romantic feelings for the major general at first, he did not want to see a hero being treated so unfairly. As they interacted with each other afterwards, he increasingly discovered the gentle qualities beneath Major General Alonso's silent appearance.
Lin Shuran, who married Alonso who had been reinstated, also stepped half a foot into the Zerg social circle behind the scenes. He participated in some banquets and invitations, and while broadening his social circle, he became more aware of the rules and style of the Zerg society. In his opinion, female Zergs are friendly and even humble, while male Zergs are mostly arrogant and narrow-minded.
Today's banquet was hosted by a male insect.
Lin Shuran didn't want to come, but his neighbor kindly invited him and revealed that this banquet was for charity and not just a gathering of male insects, so Lin Shuran finally accepted.
After arriving, he found that there were indeed more female insects, but there were also many male insects. It could be said that this was the first time that Lin Shuran saw so many male insects in a public gathering, except for the last internal gathering of male insects he attended. In the past, the venue was usually full of female insects, and the appearance of one or two male insects would inevitably attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, it is rare that his entry not only did not cause turbulent discussion, but was rather unremarkable.
And according to his observation, not most of the male insects present showed a condescending attitude - of course there were some, such as Senya, but this insect was always arrogant, and at this moment he was surrounded by a circle of insects, saying something in high spirits.
The black-haired male insect noticed the gazes coming from this side. When he saw that the person coming was Lin Shuran, he immediately stopped talking, showed disdain on his face, and challenged him: "Look who this is? A famous person in our school--"
Lin Shuran didn't say anything. Just as Senya was about to start mocking him again, she saw Qiu En passing by. When their eyes met, they immediately got angry and started arguing with each other in a sarcastic tone, and soon forgot about Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran: ...
As expected, there was no peace among the male insects.
Senia and Qiu En really don't get along. These two male insects, both good-looking and with good family backgrounds, have some overlapping social circles and overlapping suitors. Originally, they didn't have much in common and lived in peace with each other and only knew each other by name. However, Qiu En has always claimed to be "Fanlan's best male insect friend." Since Senia entered a higher education institution, he has been constantly trying to make his presence felt around Fanlan. Naturally, he bumped into Qiu En after doing so much. Now, the two little male insects are at loggerheads with each other, and they don't like each other. Once they meet, there will be a fight.
Lin Shuran quietly withdrew from the battlefield, and when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the insect behind him. He just said sorry, and saw clearly that there was a very handsome female insect in front of him. Reflexively, he was ready to comfort the female insect who was "confident and kept apologizing for bumping into the male insect". Unexpectedly, the other party just glanced at him, said sorry lightly, and passed by him.
Lin Shuran: ...
Although this is normal, but...
It seems a bit strange.
Later, he learned from the two male insects whispering beside him that the female insect was called Eliworth and seemed to be worth a lot of money.
The organizer of this banquet was the male insect who had just had a verbal argument with Senya. Lin Shuran thought that Senya obviously didn't like him, and didn't know why he would come to attend the banquet held at the other party's house.
Just as he was daydreaming, there was a sudden commotion in the lively but orderly scene. Lin Shuran looked towards the door and saw a familiar figure entering the venue - it was his schoolmate, the famous male insect Fan Lan in the First Academy. Although he had never met him before, as long as he had seen him from afar, it was impossible not to leave an impression.
This was the only male insect he didn't know how to define.
Although male insects like Senya are annoying, they are actually easy to see through. In essence, they are "young ladies" who have been praised too much. This metaphor applies to the vast majority of male insects in the Zerg society in Lin Shuran's eyes, but it does not seem to apply to Fanlan.
He saw the handsome female insect he had just bumped into walking towards Fanlan. The two insects seemed to know each other. The former lowered her head and said something. Fanlan smiled, and then the female insect with a bit of arrogance between her brows also smiled. That smile contained a hint of pride. If I had to describe it, it was like... a large dog that was patted on the head after completing the task given by its master.
June and Senya, who were playing dirty tricks on each other a second ago, also came over. June obviously knew the female insect and rudely pushed it aside, taking the position on Fanlan's left hand. Senya, not wanting to be outdone, stood on the right.
Although the other insects were a step slower, the place was still quickly surrounded and became a world of its own.
Lin Shuran had seen such scenes many times at school, but today's gathering was full of surprises, especially the attitudes of the male and female insects, which made him a little confused. But after seeing Fan Lan appear, everything seemed to be no different.
"It's Lord Fanlan..." an exclamation came from my ear.
Lin Shuran turned his head and saw his male insect neighbor Dennis also looking over there. Dennis was a rare male insect with a good temper. After Lin Shuran moved in with Alonso, the two insects became friends.
However, Dennis suddenly glanced at him with a strange expression. Lin Shuran asked what was wrong, but Dennis did not answer. He avoided his gaze and mumbled for a long time: "Uh... I didn't know he would come. If I had known, I would definitely not have dragged you here. I'm sorry, Lin..."
Lin Shuran was puzzled.
Dennis: "Why don't we go first..."
Lin Shuran: "Wait, Dennis, I don't understand, what does he have to do with me?"
Dennis was stunned: "You don't know?"
After further questioning, Dennis said somewhat helplessly: "He is the male insect that Major General Alonso had pursued before, and..."
Dennis took a look at his face and whispered:
"And there are rumors that the previous accusation of assault against Major General Alonso was done by another suitor of Lord Vanlan."
——————————
"Alonso, have you ever pursued Vanlan?"
The taciturn female soldier did not show any surprise at hearing this name from the male master's mouth.
He answered candidly, “Yes.”
Lin Shuran's expression was complicated for a moment.
He had never thought that Alonso might have someone in his heart. After all, the female insect had always behaved...obediently to him from the time they met to the time they got married, and was as loyal as a soldier serving his monarch.
Lin Shuran suppressed his chaotic thoughts and tried his best to speak calmly: "Sorry, I didn't expect... Do you still like him? I can let you go free, you don't have to force yourself to be with me..."
This time Alonso showed a surprised look: "Do you want to divorce me?"
"It's not what I think, but if there is a bug you love in your heart, I..."
Alonso pondered the meaning of love in the male insect's mouth. He knew that his male master often had different ideas. In his opinion, their family formation was a mutually beneficial situation. He used the property transfer agreement of marriage to preserve most of the assets of the main star, and gained time to deal with the suppression of the two mad dogs, cleared the charges, and regained the right to speak. On the other hand, Lin Shuran, a single civilian male insect, achieved a class leap through the marriage contract with the imperial major general.
It was just that in his pursuit of Fanlan, he became a complete loser.
Among the many eliminated, his ending was not too tragic. Look at Lucian Tucson. Even with the support of the royal family and the parliament, he still ended up in prison for a hundred years.
——————————
Senya Seruvidi was delighted.
Although it was a bit unlucky to see a male insect named Lin in addition to the expected Qiu En, but after seeing Fan Lan coming to the banquet as expected, everything was worth it.
He has not responded to the female insect's invitations recently, and has been concentrating on digging out Vanlan's itinerary and online traces, as well as his work design and art history - the last of which interests Vanlan very much, and Senya can often start a pleasant chat with him on this basis.
The more they came into contact, the more he admired Fanlan and the less interested he was in the female insect.
In the past, Senya liked and was used to indulging in the flattery and pursuit of female insects. He regarded the admiration of the opposite sex as a medal of victory worthy of showing off.
He also knew that the females he dated were only treating him as a vase to show off.
Don't think that he is stupid and has no knowledge. There is no idiot who is ignorant of the world among the male insects from wealthy families. Most of the female insects who can match him also have extraordinary family backgrounds, and the female insects standing in the upper class have some feminism.
Senia associated with them, they flattered him, pursued him, and at the same time they looked down on him.
Because he is a "timid, weak and brainless male insect."
Sometimes when they talked about something, they wanted to express their views, especially on military affairs or business, but they often stopped talking and looked at him as soon as they opened their mouths, and then changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
The look in his eyes revealed "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."
So Senya likes female insects out of vanity.
Senya hates female insects out of self-respect.
He also hates male insects other than his friends because male insects always hate each other.
Until he met Fanlan.
He would never forget the scene when he first met Vanlan. He and Jill were saying bad things about each other, and he was awkwardly bumped into by himself. However, there was no hostility in the eyes of this male insect - you know, this kind of hostility was commonplace for Senya.
After returning, he searched for the other party's information on the social platform, took the initiative to talk when they had overlapping courses, and often took the initiative to chat after adding the terminal friends.
Every time they talk, Senia feels happy. It is not the happiness of being flattered and coaxed by female insects, nor the happiness of chatting with male insects about new jewelry and gossip. Fanlan will communicate with him gently and seriously, as if his words are meaningful and worth responding to. Fanlan knows a lot of things, and it is difficult for Senia not to ask questions frequently. The insects being asked will not look at him with a look of "you won't understand even if I tell you", nor will they skip the topic. He will explain to Senia in a popular way. If it is an area that Senia has not touched before, and he quickly understands its meaning, Fanlan will look at him with appreciation and sigh in that beautiful voice: Senia, you are so smart.
Such praise seemed to be addictive, and Senya became addicted to it and obsessed with it.
He began to turn down appointments and read a lot of professional books, studied jewelry and sculpture, and collected and wore half of the satisfactory works he made, and gave the other half to Van Lan. He then discussed with Van Lan: ideas and inspirations, technology and history, aesthetics and structure...
Art was originally just a respectable and glamorous label for him, a gilded project for top male insects, but now it has gradually taken on a different meaning.
He realized the beauty and extraordinaryness of art.
He wanted those eyes that transcended all works of art to always look at him, to admire and commend him.
