Chapter 81
Halfway through the journey, the female insect sitting in the cabin had already changed her posture several times.
When Toto first arrived on the Imperial Star, Fei was worried that he wouldn't be able to filter out harmful information on the Star Network, so he only granted him limited access.
After the male insect enrolled, he believed that Toto had a strong ability to adapt, so he confidently removed the restrictions.
But now...
Toto was intently watching a video of Fei skateboarding over a hundred trash cans in a row.
Suddenly, the light screen disappeared, and the computer screen went blank.
Toto tapped the screen in confusion, but only a string of gibberish appeared.
"how?"
The female insect asked gently, then gracefully stepped forward to check his personal terminal, revealing an "O" of surprise.
"It's probably broken."
"Let's see how it goes after we get back and have Merck fix it."
Disappointed, Toto picked out a book he liked from Fei's hovercar and read it. Fei smiled and breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
The guards officer kept his head down, enduring the pain in the front row until his fingers were bleeding, but dared not laugh out loud.
However, the interaction between the two Zergs still made the Royal Guard officer feel a strange sense of crisis. After returning, he took a moment from his busy schedule to subtly ask, "Do you still remember what you said back then?"
"What did you say?"
The guard gestured: "Uh... flowers, crowns, and the like..."
Fei found this idea quite ridiculous. Putting aside his own mate selection preferences, he could not possibly choose Toregia as a mate if his partner had died young.
Besides, that child is still very young. It would be such a pity if his suffering were ruined by rumors.
After considering for a moment, Fei said, "Please arrange an audience with His Excellency Phil."
The guard officer tapped his heel and saluted at attention: "Yes, sir."
Turning around, I chuckled and happily messaged my cousin while forwarding to Toto [100 Questions about a Female Father's Remarriage], [How Should Children in Remarried Families Take Responsibility], [Be Grateful to Parents, Let Go and Love], and [A Single-Parent Zerg's Self-Narration].
Meanwhile, Toto's personal computer kept issuing prompts in the classroom.
The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and I was facing the gazes of the entire class.
Toto faced Professor Arnold's indifferent, cold, and cruel mockery. His face slowly turned red to his ears, but after a flurry of activity, he still couldn't turn off the personal terminal, and his head drooped lower and lower.
After a while, Professor Arnold tapped the blackboard to draw attention: "Next, let's look at the seventh experiment..."
Toto finally turned off the personal terminal and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Toto's knee was nudged, and the chubby classmate tossed him a bag of comfort candy, but he still didn't make eye contact with Toto, focusing intently on his handouts.
Only those Zerg who have listened attentively to his lectures know that Professor Arnold is extremely knowledgeable. His gloomy and indifferent face may make Zerg impatient, but few Zerg dare to challenge his scientific achievements.
However, he was very strict, even harsh, so Toto got away with it so easily, causing a small ripple in the class.
After a while, a communication tone suddenly sounded in the classroom, and a Zerg player answered the phone in a low voice.
"go out."
Professor Arnold removed his glasses, his expression harsh and his face cold.
...
After school, Toto found a quiet place to have lunch, but unexpectedly, some Zerg shoved and pushed his way in, and started arguing before he could even observe them.
"What's it to you? Who gave you the guts to question me?"
The female insect impatiently pushed the fat classmate away, her face contorted with disgust like a gleaming sword, making him unable to lift his head.
"But...aren't we...a couple?"
The chubby guy whispered, startled by the female insect's fierce expression, dropping several bags of snacks. If he had known she was in a bad mood, he wouldn't have rushed over. But he hadn't seen her for several days and was subconsciously a little worried, so he found her and asked her a question.
As a result, he was subjected to extremely vicious ridicule from head to toe, with phrases like "not a male," "fat pig," and "disgusting."
The chubby boy turned pale, speechless, and unable to utter a rebuttal. He could only lower his head, enduring the female insect's disgusted gaze. He didn't even know how to move his arms and legs, utterly pathetic. No wonder others looked down on him.
Toto put down his spoon, losing his appetite, and decided to find a quieter place to eat.
"Hey, you know I didn't mean to say that, I just startled you by suddenly showing up here."
"Okay, don't be angry."
The female insect suddenly changed her expression, put her arm around the chubby classmate and sat down, leaning against him intimately: "Good, you will forgive me, right?"
The chubby student exclaimed, revealing a sad expression: "Then, please don't say it like that next time, okay? It makes me very sad."
The female insect's eye twitched: "Okay, I'll agree to whatever you say. So next time you go to a banquet, can you take me with you?"
The chubby student blushed and nodded, "Okay."
"But I don't have any formal attire or anything like that..."
"Send the housekeeper to take you shopping. No need to worry."
"Will you introduce me to some friends?"
"Yes, but I know relatively few."
The content was getting increasingly outrageous, and Toto absentmindedly poked at his food, swallowed a meatball, and gradually became impatient.
I think of the little snacks that are occasionally handed to me.
He slowed down his movements, which were originally about to leave, and his deep gray eyes were filled with thoughts about the Zerg society.
"Good."
A shadow suddenly swept by.
"Tore, Tore, Jia!" The chubby student suddenly looked up and saw a familiar smiling face.
Toto, holding his lunchbox, glanced at the female insect: "What a coincidence, hey, what kind of uniform is this... it looks like a military academy uniform, is she a female soldier?"
"Huh?" The chubby student was in a daze. The female insect glanced at Toto, coughed awkwardly, patted her clothes, and distanced herself from the chubby student: "Ahem, I'll be going now."
They fled in complete disarray.
The chubby student hadn't spoken to Toto yet. He was very nervous. He stood up, looked around, and finally made up his mind: "I'll treat you to dinner. Don't tell anyone."
He was very uncomfortable communicating with the Zerg, always dodging and avoiding them, looking like he was easy to bully.
The two insects sat down at a fancy restaurant. The chubby student found the private room as if he knew the way well, closed the door, and was extremely anxious. But Toto acted as if he didn't see it and ate with great relish: "This tastes better than the one at school."
Without asking any questions, Toto started urging the chubby classmate to eat.
The chubby boy had been looking down, but because he kept eating and felt embarrassed to trouble Tuotuo to keep putting food on his plate, and because his stomach felt much more comfortable from eating, he unconsciously raised his head and began to focus on eating.
He found it very pleasant to be with Torregia, even though they had never interacted before.
"This taste?"
Toto frowned strangely, but kept drinking water, turning his whole body pink.
The chubby student sighed and covered the plate, saying, "This is spicy, don't eat it."
Toto said, "But it's delicious."
The chubby student had no principles: "Then, I can only eat a little bit."
The hot pot was bubbling away, and white steam was rising, as if a small opening had been made in the suppressed emotions.
We had plenty of food and were quite full.
The chubby student put down his chopsticks, and Toto took a sip of tea, then casually looked out the window: "That female insect is terrible."
The chubby student paused for a moment, then realized what Toto was talking about. He gripped his teacup tightly without changing his expression: "It's okay, I'm bad too."
Toto wasn't surprised that the chubby classmate knew. He shook his head and said sincerely, "You're very interesting, I like you a lot, but that female insect is terrible."
The chubby student was silent for a moment, then stammered, "No, I have many flaws, but he doesn't mind."
Toto felt he wasn't good at solving problems with words, so he scratched his head and asked his chubby classmate for advice: "Do you know how to create a group chat?"
The chubby student looked at Toto with confusion and nodded. Toto was very happy, handed the computer to the chubby student, added him as a friend on the StarNet, and then asked him to help create a chat group.
During a meeting, the guard officer, feeling extremely bored, was suddenly pulled into a group chat. He grunted in response, secretly covered his personal terminal with his hand, and then turned it on.
Is the group owner Toto?
What do you mean? Toto feels threatened because of those articles? Who are the Zerg that were brought in? They can't all be here to criticize the Commander, can they?
The group flashed briefly, and the guard officer secretly clicked on it.
Toregia: [Here's the thing, I have a friend...]
The guard officer's expression shifted from complex silence to deep resentment. He suppressed the urge to clench his fists. How could such scum have male insects? Fate is truly unfair!
He turned and hid in the bathroom, cleared his throat, and sent a long voice message in a low, confident tone that would convince the Zerg.
Toto and Fatty listened to the whole thing together. Fatty blinked. The female insect's voice was so nice. His ears slowly warmed up, and he looked like he had gained some understanding.
He glanced at Toto, paused, and then carefully but firmly clicked the voice message again. The elder's words of wisdom were like a pot of fine old soup, so mature and rich, with complex layers and a lingering aftertaste, healing some of his sadness and sorrow.
After the guard officer finished posting, he checked the group chat every now and then. After a while, Toto posted an outdated emoji of [amazed][praise].
The meeting is over.
The guard officer, having endured it all, finally reached his breaking point and approached the commander with a smug expression that said, "I know you don't know this gossip." He was then subdued by Fei with a refined expression, who grabbed him with one hand, pressed his knee against his back, and made him writhe on the ground begging for mercy.
"Just kidding, sir. I think Toto is probably in love, and he's fallen for a piece of trash."
Fiji:"???"
...
In the evening, Toto returned home, and Fei sat on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Toto went back to his room to change his clothes first, and then lay down on the small sofa in the living room to do his homework.
The atmosphere was very ordinary and quiet.
Merck noticed that the Commander's expression behind the newspaper was slightly serious, and that page of the newspaper had not been turned for a long time.
Wait a minute, what's that tucked inside the newspaper, hmm??? It's from "Good Parents Are Better Than Good Teachers: Sixteen Years of Parenting Notes from an Education Expert."
Toto frantically tapped on the light screen, searching for news about his father on the StarNet, and surprisingly, he actually found his social media account.
Toto pondered, "Should we go take a look?"
"Torregia."
Toto looked up.
Fei's expression was refined and serious. After exchanging glances for a while, Fei calmly said, "I believe that the formation of a relationship requires not only considering practical factors, but also... never mind."
He handed Toto a beautiful ray weapon: "The Divine Scythe of Judgment will protect your rights."
