Chapter 78
Imperial Star Kanster Military Headquarters.
Fei said he had to go back to have dinner with the little male insect, and the guard officer looked horrified: "Your Excellency, are you addicted to playing the guardian insect? The stage isn't even set up yet and you're already having a great time acting..."
Fei raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll stay and keep you company while you work overtime?"
The guard officer's expression changed, and he gave an awkward laugh: "No need for that. The first day of school is such an important ceremony for a child. How can the current guardian be absent?"
Fei chuckled lightly, not wanting to argue with her friend, and turned around to change her clothes.
Wearing a military uniform outside is inconvenient, so he unbuttoned the uniform one button at a time, tossed it onto the sofa, and bent down to change his shoes.
White shirt and black pants.
He is tall with long legs and a fit physique.
This insect is self-disciplined, has a refined personality and handsome appearance. He seems unapproachable, but once you get to know him, he is not arrogant.
Many high-ranking male insects have flirted with him, and many of his close relatives have also inquired about his mate preferences.
Fei is a very popular figure among the commanders of the Imperial Star, yet he has not yet extended an olive branch to any of the male insects.
Back then, they spoke so confidently about wildflowers and roses, but now, all for that green medal, they're taking a one-hour hovercar ride home. It's really hard to imagine that a commander would do such a thing.
The guard officer couldn't help but worry: "You wouldn't really... cough cough... Your Excellency, I mean..."
That ordinary male is not worthy of you.
For people of their social class, joking around is fine, but once they take it seriously, things get complicated.
Marrying a male insect husband who knows nothing is a tragedy.
Fei slowly straightened his clothes, smoothing out the small wrinkles. His reflection in the mirror did the same thing. His tone was calm and not harsh: "I am not a child, Imperial Guard."
Adult insects no longer need to be taught.
Because many principles are already clear and understood, it is too irresponsible to use youthful ignorance as an excuse.
The guard officer didn't know what Fei meant. Was it that he wouldn't fall in love with the lower-level insectoids, or that love had already blossomed and he had weighed the pros and cons before making a decision?
If it's the latter, it would be too worrying for the insects.
The guard officer shook his head and gestured for Fei to look out the window at the rows of small spaceships that were the lives of ordinary people on the Imperial Star: "We are different from those insectoids."
Fei didn't speak, but the guards could tell that he was in a bad mood. They had been through ups and downs together and knew that it had taken a lot of effort to get to this point.
Feelings are no longer important, since there are all kinds of male insects to choose from.
People who always have more choices have more confidence.
The guards officer thought Fei should calm down, so he immediately searched for several articles such as "Love of the Century: My Noble Lord", "Ten Bad Habits of Commoners", "Tragedy Across Classes", and "The Life of a Poor Worm" and forwarded them to him.
There are indeed handsome lower-level male insects; they can be appeased by offering some benefits.
But that Toregia is a child from a slave planet, and after witnessing the decadent lifestyle of the Imperial Planet, he might become an inseparable pest.
Toto returned home.
Merck said that the Commander was waiting for dinner in the living room. Toto nodded, changed his shoes, and wanted to hurry over.
Merck coughed, stopping him, and took out a piece of paper. His face was very serious: "This is a list I've prepared for you. Please associate with the male insects on this list. It will be very helpful for you to integrate into social circles in the future."
Toto nodded, put the list in his pocket, and went into the living room.
The Commander is having tea.
Toto's impression of him was mostly that he was aloof and dignified, but at this moment he had a book on his lap, leaned lazily against the sofa, and wore a pair of light blue slippers with white velvet trim, looking very homey.
He glanced at Toto, beckoned, and Toto took off his coat, walked over, and sat down to his right.
How are you feeling?
"The classroom atmosphere was very harmonious."
Fei found it amusing that Toto was lying, but he didn't expose him and continued, "You have seven years to complete Imperial Star Academy. In the first year, there will be many introductory courses. In the second year, you will be able to choose your study direction."
Toto hesitated and asked, "Can we only choose a direction in the second year?"
Fei spoke casually and calmly, helping him cheat: "The first year is fine too."
Toto noticed this and shook his head: "No need, I can take my time choosing, but I really like Professor Arnold's courses."
Toto changed the subject: "Commander, I'd like to know who the female soldier guarding Professor Arnold is."
Fei had investigated, but he hadn't expected Toto to be interested in Zos. Zos was a cunning and ruthless man, and although he was quite handsome, wasn't he a bit... too much of a trait for a first love...?
It is perfectly normal for adult male insects to desire mates.
But Toregia was still a little brat. Fei's face was calm and refined, but his heart was far from calm.
He observed Toto closely and found that he really wanted to know about Zos. Fiesven's movements froze a little, but his expression remained normal.
"Zoth Darius, a female soldier with a powerful background, whose abilities are beyond doubt, but whose personality is wicked and who likes to tease insects. What, did he overstep his bounds with you?"
Toto said no, but before he could explain, Merck had already invited them to dinner.
They didn't mention the less-than-favorable speculations, as telling a high-ranking military officer rashly could have a negative impact on Arnold and Zos.
I was worried about these things, so I didn't say anything.
However, during the meal, Toto was discovered to have secretly left some vegetables uneaten. Faced with Fei's ambiguous smile, Toto lowered his head, imagined the vegetables as roasted meat, chewed them up, and swallowed them.
The next day at school, Toto listened attentively in class.
The blond male insect was also in the classroom. Upon seeing him, he immediately stood up, crossed his arms, and arrogantly said, "Hey! You savage insect, I'm calling you! Come here."
Toto ignored him. He had already decided where he would sit today. He walked straight to the corner of the classroom, where a very fat male insect was sitting, wearing a silver medal, and there were no other insects sitting around him.
When Toto went over, the worm was reading a book and eating.
"Hello."
Splash—
Fat Worm was startled, and a lot of food fell off him. Only then did Toto realize that his desk was stuffed with snacks.
Fatty exclaimed, looked around several times, and said in disbelief, "You called me?"
“Yes,” Merck handed Toto a list containing the names of many male insects, with one name highlighted in red in the corner, indicating that contact was impossible and would be ridiculed.
But his academic performance is excellent.
Toto wanted to ask him a question, but he didn't know if the other person would be willing to get to know him. Although he was admitted through examination, he lacked a lot of common sense knowledge compared to the insectoids who grew up on the Imperial Star.
Toto asked a little shyly, "Can I sit next to you?"
Fat Worm froze, dropping the cookie in his hand.
Toto wasn't good at asking insects for help. He scratched his head, his spiky hair making him seem unapproachable. He looked a little flustered and embarrassed, but it made his whole face look more attractive to insects.
He was about to leave if the other party didn't agree.
But after a moment of silence, the fat worm quietly moved a little to the side.
Toto breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and looked to the side with some trepidation. Just then, Fatty Worm also looked over.
The two insects looked at each other in silence. Toto lowered his head to look at his notes, while the other opened his mouth to eat snacks.
Crackling sound—
"It's so noisy!"
"The whole classroom is filled with the sound of eating. They're going to eat in the bathroom!"
A bug muttered something under its breath. Toto frowned, slammed a hand on his desk, looked up, and saw the angry face of the blond male bug: "I'm calling you!"
Toto: "Hmm?"
I was calling you!
Toto was puzzled. The golden-haired male insect snorted heavily, his face grim. "I don't want to play with low-level insects like you, but since we're all classmates, I can reluctantly let you sit next to me, as long as you agree to one request."
Toto: "..."
Toto was momentarily stunned and the other person yelled at the fat worm with a look of disgust: "Get out of the way, you fat worm! Can't you see me? Go sit in that corner over there."
Fatty put down his snacks and silently began moving his belongings.
Suddenly, a hand pressed down on him. Unlike his chubby fingers, the hand was slender and strong with distinct knuckles. The person was also very energetic. At least some eyes glanced over and landed on the spiky-haired, casually dressed male insect.
"Don't move."
The fat worm looked up following the hand. The male worm who had spoken those words had a cold expression. He jumped off the table and, with a thud, pinned the blond male worm against the wall with one hand.
"Apologize."!
Toto was angry. He frowned, his face serious, but for some reason, the blond male insect suddenly blushed from his face to his neck, his eyes becoming moist, looking a little... a little...
There's something I can't quite put my finger on.
But suddenly the other person covered their mouth, pushed him, escaped from his grasp, and ran out of the classroom.
Toto: "…………"
Although the goal was achieved, it felt a bit strange.
Toto turned around and saw a pair of big eyes behind him, and a bug holding a terminal, who must have been taking pictures.
I don't understand.
But learning, learning [something], is not wrong.
Toto sat down, opened his book, and the whole classroom went from being completely silent to rustling. A chubby little hand quietly handed him a bag of snacks.
Toto looked over and saw that the chubby classmate was staring at his book, very quietly.
He reached out and took it. The insectoid script on it said "small jerky." Toto was a little curious. Merck had never bought anything like this before. He stuffed it into his pocket.
After class.
Instead of talking to his new deskmate, Toto went straight to Professor Arnold. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he had a gut feeling that the guy named Zos was no good.
If he could, he wanted to warn the professor not to be deceived.
When I got to the office door, I hesitated again.
This is only his side of the story. The professor and Zos have known each other for a long time and he even knows that the other has unmarried male insects. He should know better than him how to keep his distance.
But Toto could never forget what happened that day.
Will the professor, who has been under immense pressure all along, find himself in an embarrassing situation because of his sweet talk?
Toto knocked on the door, and after a while, Chong came to open it.
"Tsk, it's you?"
The female soldier casually buttoned up her shirt, turned around and said something, then yawned and stretched, stepping aside to open the door: "You only have ten minutes to see the professor."
