day75
Fanlan spent three days in Karenfa, and then decided to return, driving his small spaceship, which was twice as heavy as the one he came with, filled with clothes, bags, souvenirs, specialty snacks...
Lester sent him to the transfer dock. Before leaving, Vanlan took off a small ornament she was wearing as usual - a small bone-shaped brooch, and then casually pinned it to the side of Lester's belt at the waist of his pants.
Fanlan has had this habit since he was a child. It started because Lester would accompany him shopping on weekdays. Fanlan always had a lot of different accessories on him, but he loved to buy new ones. So when he wanted to try a new accessory, he would take off the original one and give it to Lester. Earrings, rings, necklaces... all kinds of things. Generally, if the new one looked good, he would wear it as it was and would not take the old one back. Later, he would simply take off whatever he took off and put it directly on Lester, regardless of whether it matched the image of a red-haired cool guy.
Therefore, in Lester's room and collection room, you can often see things that are very different from his style of painting. Some of them were taken down and put aside after he returned, and some were put away by him in different categories.
Just like in his model room, hanging on the silver-black walls is a row of dolls that Fanlan didn't like to play with when he was a child.
When they parted, Fanlan noticed Lester's condition and felt that he was much better than when he first arrived. He couldn't help but feel satisfied about it.
If Fanlan had seen a post in the Second Army forum, he would probably have laughed. Lester was not pretending. He was indeed mentally exhausted. Just as a certain netizen said, he had been in command of the operations last week. In addition to commanding, Lester would also go deep into the front line in person when necessary. It can be said that he worked non-stop and ended the operations at a whirlwind, allowing the rest week to arrive as scheduled. So it would be unfair to say that his fatigue was pretended to win sympathy.
But I just let my tiredness show on the surface, so that he can see it. Is it intentional to limit the target...
Vanlan waved and said goodbye to Lester.
——
Fanlan did not choose to return by the original route and go directly to the capital planet, but took a small detour and went to the Qiqiharu planet which could be passed through.
Chichiharu is a planet with a very comfortable climate. As a well-known landscape planet, it is also one of the largest core bases for flower cultivation. You can imagine how beautiful the scenery here is. Also, since most of the areas here are flower fields and flower farms owned by private insects, they are not open to the public on a large scale, that is, no one is allowed to enter without an invitation. Therefore, the insect traffic is not large, and it is a planet that is very suitable for tourism and relaxation. Fanlan has been to Chichiharu more than once.
Upon hearing the news, Du Jia ran over happily to greet him.
"Alan——"
The chestnut-haired female insect waved her hand, jumped off the aircraft nimbly from the ground three meters away, and flew towards Fanlan.
"You're here at last!"
Fanlan was also very happy to see him. He smiled and handed a gift bag to the female insect that stopped suddenly in front of him. It was one of the souvenirs bought in Karenfa - a bottle of homemade fruit wine produced only locally. After Fanlan drank it, he liked it and took a few more bottles with him when he left.
Du Jia took the bag and happily took Fan Lan to the dining area.
During the journey, they talked about everything, mainly Du Jia. Fan Lan heard that Du Jia was a very cheerful and beautiful female insect. Yes, beautiful. Although most female insects looked tall, mighty, and straight-minded, they were only the majority. Of course, there were some with individual characteristics. Just like there were many handsome men on Earth who chose to keep their long hair, Du Jia was a tall but not strong female who paid attention to fashion and wore her half-long hair in a pigtail. When she walked on the street, she would be noticed by both female and male insects.
His family has been running the flower business of Qiqiharu for generations, and it can be said that it is the leading enterprise in the local area. When Du Jia was young, he had no ambitions and had no idea of inheriting the family or developing his own business. He just acted as a dandy who squandered money. Under the eyes of his father and brothers who looked down on him as a prodigal son, he refused to study business and studied fine arts and visual arts, which were rarely enrolled by female insects. However, during his time at school, he combined his own flower farm to organize several flower art exhibitions, which attracted a lot of attention and discussion on the star network, and then led to a large number of orders. This made the Du family, who had already placed this child, suddenly realize that he actually had this ability? So he was taken into the marketing department of his company as soon as he graduated, responsible for marketing promotion and planning.
By the way, the last flower exhibition that Du Jia promoted during his time at school was planned and promoted together with Fan Lan, who happened to be traveling here at the time. At that time, the two hit it off and had similar aesthetics. Du Jia said, "I'm planning a flower exhibition. Are you interested in participating?" Fan Lan readily agreed and completed the art planning and installation art of the flower farm with Du Jia. The exhibition was later a great success, and the friendship and contact between the two insects have been maintained.
The dining location is in an aerial garden. Take the sightseeing ladder up. There are dining carts and tables and chairs in the garden atrium filled with amethyst flowers, blue balls and chrysanthemums. Among the foods on display are the seafood milk balls and flower cheese salad that Fanlan mentioned before. Du Jiading's dishes are very beautifully presented, using various works of art-like plates and utensils. The colors and shapes are just right, blending in with the atmosphere and tones created by the surrounding flower beds, and fully bringing out the beauty and temptation of the food.
Then Fanlan used her fork to ruthlessly destroy the beautiful cake that was obviously carefully carved and looked like a blooming embroidery.
"Delicious." The male insect swallowed the cake mixed with flower jam and chopped nuts in his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.
Seeing his expression, Du Jia also smiled brightly: "If you had told me earlier that you were coming, I would have asked Xian Tao Pavilion to prepare a Qionghua banquet in advance! Now we can only make do with the food, as long as you like it."
"Well, it was also a last-minute decision. I went to Karenfa and when I came back I thought I could come over."
"Oh~ Are you going to see that 'genius general'?"
Fanlan stopped drinking and narrowly avoided choking. It seemed that he really underestimated the influence of the great writer Yame Ren. Even Du Jia, who would not be interested in this kind of novel at first glance, could call him by this name to tease him after seeing him.
"It's not that obvious, is it? I thought if I didn't know Lester, I wouldn't have made the connection."
"Hehe, it has something to do with you. Don't underestimate my curiosity and desire to explore you."
Fanlan just laughed off his flirtatious jokes that were as natural as drinking water, and continued to drink the wine that he had just finished drinking. He didn't feel offended, after all, that's how Du Jia was.
"What are your plans for the afternoon?"
"Afternoon..." Du Jia dragged his voice and asked knowingly, "You came to Qiqiharu not just for me, right?"
Vanlan ate a salad covered with flower cheese and did not deny it.
"Don't worry, your little male insect is doing well. I'll show you after we finish eating."
"Thank you very much."
"Don't be polite to me!"
“Yes, yes.”
