Chapter 28, Chapter 30: "Junior Brother, you..."
Vison didn't know, nor did he want to think about it.
They don't want to think about what their own feelings are, nor do they want to think about what the other person's feelings are.
Living a little more carefree can make you happier, right?
He felt he had done the absolutely right thing, and that life was joyful, intoxicating, and something to cherish.
He studies his favorite machines in the machine room, and when he gets home, he can see Fei Bosi. They work and study together, eat together, and when the mood strikes, they will go out to find a good restaurant, eat and drink their fill, and stroll around the streets, which can be considered a half-date.
We would lazily curl up on the sofa together to watch movies and play games, chat about everyday things, and occasionally, when the mood struck us, we would tease each other.
They would hug and kiss each other in every corner, using the guise of "soothing" to recklessly touch and get close to each other, indulging in extreme intimacy and whispering sweet nothings.
Although occasionally, when I think back on it in the middle of the night, I may feel a little sting in my heart, it is only a very small part of it.
Vison thought they would live like this forever.

"Visen, please help me! Senior brother, I'll call you senior brother from now on. Please, save me, have pity on your junior brother this once!" Despite being a tall and large female insect, she was now begging for mercy like a little bird.
Vincent, who was planning to go home for dinner as usual, looked at Belka kneeling on the ground, clinging to his leg, squeezing out a few fake tears and wailing. He rubbed his forehead in exasperation, not knowing what to do.
"Get up first."
"No! If you don't agree, I'll kneel here forever!" Belka thought she had a chance, so she refused to let go even more.
Belka, a third-year mechanical engineering student, was taken in as a student by Visabe because of his talent in mechanical design. He is one of Visen's senior classmates.
However, this senior student, who was proficient in mechanical design, was a complete mess when it came to practical mechanical improvement and modification. Although he was certainly better than the average mechanical engineering student, he was simply unacceptable to his teacher, Visaba.
During today's internal mechanical improvement practical competition, Visaba saw that even the youngest student, Vincent, scored far higher than Belka. Finally, he snapped and assigned Belka a bunch of mechanical improvement assignments for extra practice, demanding that he hand them in tomorrow with a success rate of over 80%.
Belka knew he was not up to the task, but he didn't want to be punished, so he resorted to underhanded methods, which led to this scene.
Vison looked at Belka, who was blinking her big, pitiful eyes, and took a step back, forcefully freeing his leg.
"Speak properly."
"Junior brother, only you can help me! All those other insects are a bunch of cold-hearted insects, and the way the teacher looked clearly means that if I don't complete this, he will expel me from the sect! Junior brother, can you bear to do that?"
Knowing he was talking nonsense, Vison wanted to refuse coldly, but he was immediately shut down by Belka's loud howl.
When has he ever seen such a shameless approach?
Vison watched helplessly as Belka "feigned madness," and finally sighed deeply.
Oh well, it's not a big problem. It's just that I won't be able to get back for dinner tonight.
Vison lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting shadows on his lower eyelids, seemingly as calm as ever, yet also subtly concealing his somewhat unhappy feelings: "I agree."
He was always aloof in public, or to put it bluntly, withdrawn.
When he was first introduced into the machine room by Visabe, he also had a cold face.
But from the moment he entered the machine room, Belka treated him with great warmth and care. It wasn't flattery or ulterior motives; Belka was simply a warm-hearted person.
Belka would point out any errors in the mechanical design and carefully correct them for him. It was also Belka who led him through the experiments on his first day.
Although the other insects in the machine room were also of good quality, they all possessed the arrogance of geniuses and were unwilling to fawn over him. Moreover, they preferred to treat him as a noble SS-class male insect, avoiding him as much as possible and protecting him like a national treasure.
Moreover... just like the female military officer he met on the spaceship before, sometimes a group of insects would be talking, but as soon as he walked over, they would all fall silent.
Although Vincent was used to this situation, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he encountered this situation for the first time with his fellow disciples with whom he would be spending the next four years.
Only the enthusiastic Belka approached him, talking to him whenever he had free time, and chatting with other insects without hiding it from him. Now that he was asking for his help, Visen was willing to lend a hand in any way he could.
"What?! I knew you were the best, junior brother!" The oblivious Belka rushed over and hugged Vinson's arm as soon as he heard Vinson agree, bursting into tears, "Waaah, you are the best male insect."
He knew it; Lord Vison was a cold-faced but warm-hearted worm!
The annoying female insects in the machine room wanted to get closer, but were also afraid of offending him.
Only him! He charged bravely, and now he has Lord Vison's help!
As expected, the brave insect is the first to enjoy the world!
Belka was moved to tears: "If I weren't a lesbian, I would definitely pursue you, my dear Lord Vincent, sob sob."
“Don’t get so close to me.” Vison pushed him hard, trying to push this “sticky rice” away.
Apart from Feibos, he had never been so close to insects or people before. This close contact made him feel uncomfortable and awkward.
He didn't like being so close to other insects, he even hated it. They didn't have the orange scent he liked, nor... the touch he liked, nor the feeling that made his heart race when he was with Feppos.
As they rounded the corner, Belka, grinning, was about to let him go.
"Okay, okay."
The two insects were playing around when, as they turned the corner, an insect came walking towards them from the opposite direction.
Belka suddenly felt that the arm holding Vinson had become unusually stiff. No, it should be said that Vinson's entire body had become unusually stiff, as if he had been frozen in place.
Instinctively, Belka tightened her arms around herself and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Vison did not respond, but simply stared straight at the other side.
Belka followed his gaze and saw a familiar female soldier.
White hair and red eyes, broad shoulders and narrow waist, upright posture and powerful aura, the cold look in his eyes was like looking at an insect as if it were a dog, isn't this his former white moonlight, General Febus!
Oh my god! He used to like him so much!
Imperial Heavy Weapon, Admiral Feopus!
He also secretly collected a lot of Admiral Fipos merchandise, but last time he finally skipped class to go to the training ground next door to ask for an autograph, he was coldly rejected by Admiral Fipos. Since then, Shaochong's heart has been broken, and he has gone from being a fanatic fan to a casual fan.
But upon seeing him again, Belka was still captivated by that magnificent face, just as she always had.
He gripped Vinson's arm even tighter with excitement, staring intently at Fipos, repeatedly exclaiming, "It's him! It's him! What a magnificent face!"
From the initial surprise upon meeting them, Feppos came to his senses and stared at them with his scarlet eyes.
Belka thought that Fipos remembered him from the time he asked for an autograph, and he couldn't help but get excited. Just as he was thinking about whether to strike up a conversation with him again, he met Fipos's sharp eyes and sensed the danger in them. It was as if he had accidentally touched a treasure buried deep in the wild and was now being targeted by a ferocious beast, whose fury could only be appeased by biting him.
Belka was so frightened that she took a step back.
But Fipos's gaze remained fixed on them, unwavering. No, more accurately, he was staring at Lord Vincent beside him.
He had just glanced at him, and the hostile, malicious, and angry look in his eyes seemed to be his imagination; only the lingering shadow in his heart proved that illusion.
ah?
Belka suddenly realized that not only Fipos, but his junior brother Vison was also staring at Fipos stiffly. The two were looking at each other from a distance, their gazes so focused and intense that he seemed like a bright light bulb in the middle.
He hurriedly and hastily let go of Vison's arm and jumped away.
No way, no way, his junior brother and his white moonlight?
Yes!
How could he forget that his junior brother was rescued and brought back to the Empire by General Febus?
Belka opened his mouth wide as if he had discovered something startling, his gaze shifting back and forth between Feppos and Vissen.
But the next second, Fei Bosi withdrew his gaze, and the invisible danger that filled the air seemed to dissipate. His face returned to its usual faint, polite, and aloof smile, as if it had just been a strange dream.
He stood still, nodded politely to Vison, and without even showing any inclination to come over, walked straight into the teaching building.
Could it be that he misunderstood?
After all, Belka recalled the rumors he'd heard about Feppos's indifference towards male insects. He'd assumed his ideal woman was also into hermaphroditism, and he'd even fantasized about the happy life he'd have after winning her over...
perhaps,
I just saw a new SS-class male insect and felt a bit curious, so I came to say hello.
Vison was still in shock until Fipos had completely disappeared from sight.
Belka turned around and was startled by his junior brother's face. Vison, who was already pale, was now deathly pale, with a grim expression that seemed to be filled with gritted teeth.
He looked at Vinson with concern: "Junior brother, are you alright, junior brother?"
Vincent withdrew his hand, bent slightly at the waist, and frowned deeply: "It's nothing."
He replayed the details of those few short seconds in his mind in slow motion.
Fipos paused for a moment, then stopped. Did he get angry during this process?
Vison tried desperately to recall, but Fipos's expression remained perpetually detached and indifferent; he couldn't decipher it.
However, rounding up, he already had a partner, so he should have kept his distance from other people. But Fipos saw him in such close contact with Belka. Fipos should be angry, but he can explain that it was just a misunderstanding.
He had originally planned to go and explain to Fei Bosi.
But as he was about to take a step, he saw that Feppos had snapped out of his reverie, glanced at him briefly, and then walked away.
...He's gone.
A sense of powerlessness and anger, like a mountain collapsing, suddenly and violently pressed down on his heart.
Recalling the casual sweep of Fabers before he left, Vincent felt as if several small thorns had been stuck in his heart, causing him great discomfort.
He doesn't care at all, does he?
Once you step outside, you assume you don't know them and treat them like complete strangers, right?
Okay, very good.
Vison clenched his fist, straining until his veins bulged.
"Junior brother, do you recognize that insect from earlier?" Belka cautiously probed, trying to ignore Vison's face, which was as black as a pot lid.
He actually wanted to ask you two directly what your relationship was, but he still needed to complete the assignment that Vincent was saving, so he couldn't ask that question.
