O, the popular girl, loves to act like a spoiled child. She is afraid of insects and cold and wants

In the bustling hall, the sounds of conversations, laughter and music are intertwined.

The insects that come to the king insect's coming-of-age ceremony are all top dignitaries and celebrities. For a green and penniless military cadet, hooking up with just one or a few of them is a rare and excellent opportunity.

As long as everything goes well, the road ahead will be smoother.

Sitting on the second-floor terrace, hidden by the flowers, Palenque was no longer surprised by this. He drooped his eyelids lazily and played with the jeweled scepter in his hand boredly. The debauchery was reflected in his gorgeous eyes, and the rest was just a deep boredom.

Until a bug came.

Palenque put down the scepter in his hand, slowly sat up straight, and his eyes were filled with interest that he himself did not even notice.

The unusual reaction caught Sowin's attention, and he looked in the direction the other person was looking.

In the hall where people were toasting and chatting, a late figure seemed out of place.

It’s not that he was late, but usually on such occasions, everyone would arrive long time early.

He had no fancy clothes or accessories, and had a plain face the size of a palm. The only presentable piece of clothing on his body was the gray-blue school uniform of the First Military Academy of the Imperial Star, which was criticized by many bugs for being ugly.

Just this alone has attracted more attention from insects than most of the female insects in the banquet hall.

The noisy atmosphere quieted down for a second because of his arrival. Tang Qing, who became the focus of attention, did not stop nervously because of the strange looks from other insects.

On the contrary, he accepted their gazes frankly, then walked to the food area very naturally, picked up the plate, and carefully and attentively put all the snacks and dishes that were ignored by the insects into his own plate.

"He is Tang Qing, who ranked first in comprehensive examinations this year and was admitted to the Imperial Star's No. 1 Military Academy as an exception?"

"It's him. He looks okay, but his words and actions... are hopeless."

"What's the point of having good looks? You can only be a soldier your whole life."

"As expected of someone coming from a garbage planet, so poor that even insects can't bear to look at it."

"Stay away from him in the future, be careful of getting the sour smell on you."

"..."

Disdainful looks, contemptuous laughter, and sarcastic words could not hinder Tang Qing's desire to show off to his fans.

The military academy was more than 20 kilometers away from the palace, and the money for taking the public aircraft was enough for his food expenses for three or four days.

Tang Qing looked down at his empty old wallet, declined his roommates' offer to lend him money, and simply chose to walk.

While exercising, he can also appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Star. Killing two birds with one stone, Tang Qing is very satisfied with his arrangement.

In this way, Tang Qing has been walking since noon, and the nutrients in his stomach have long been digested.

A perfect little hill was built, and a hint of joy finally emerged in Tang Qing's cold eyes, making the calm water surface suddenly come alive.

The fleeting little expression made Palenque curl his lips slightly, while Sorwin, who was sitting next to him, had an inexplicable look on his face.

Of course, it's not just Palenque that is attracted.

Beautiful female insects without an identity background are easily coveted by people with bad intentions.

Palenque's back was straight, his long eyelashes were half-closed, and the corners of his mouth still had a smile. But Sowin, who was familiar with him, knew that he was unhappy.

"King, do you want to..."

Before Sowin could finish his words, he saw Palenque sitting back lazily.

It turned out that the male insect who had chatted with Tang Qing had already left. Judging from his facial expression, he seemed to be very angry.

Soon, Tang Qing's sudden appearance was forgotten by the swarm of insects.

Tang Qing, who was enjoying the quiet time, found a small corner. His appetite was not affected by the previous incident at all. His pink mouth opened and closed, and his cheeks formed a round arc, like a greedy little hamster, so thin that Chong was surprised.

Maybe he was too thin, or maybe the school uniform was one size too big and didn't fit him well. When he raised his hand, the cuffs slipped down uncontrollably, revealing a small section of his dazzlingly white, bony wrist that looked so fragile that it seemed like it would break if bent.

How can you be number one when you are so thin?

For some reason, Palenque found this scene a bit annoying.

With his slender fingers pressing on the ruby ​​of the scepter, Palenque casually decided the fate of several insects. "You are talking so much. My ears hurt. You don't need to appear on the list next time."

Coincidentally, the bug that was named was the one that talked behind Tang Qing's back and tried to strike up a conversation with him.

"Let the First Military Academy arrange a few funding quotas."

After thinking for a moment, Palenque added, "The expenses will be paid through my private account."

Sorven: “Yes.”

"Your Majesty the Insect King..."

Surrounded by layers of insect swarms, Palenque had an unmistakable smile on his face, neither distant nor enthusiastic.

Palenque holds a glass of wine and can talk about any issue, from people's livelihood and politics to economic trends, jewelry, clothing, food, housing and transportation.

The handsome and beautiful facial features would be tough if they were a little more, and soft if they were a little less. Covered in warm light, they look like a luxurious and beautiful work of art.

Everyone likes beautiful things, and Tang Qing couldn't help but take another look.

The two lines of sight suddenly overlapped across the swarm of insects.

Tang Qing's keen intuition made him lower his eyes first. He silently labeled the other person as dangerous in his heart.

Palenque's fingers gripping the wine glass tightened slightly, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the other party's avoidance.

When he calmed down and looked over again, the bug that had been in the corner was gone, and the food area was gone too.

Tsk.

Palenque drooped his eyelids, suddenly feeling bored, his jaw corners slowly tightened, his throat rolled, and Palenque raised his head to drink the red wine in the glass.

"Sorry, I'm a little drunk."

After saying this, without giving the other insects a chance to react, Palenque handed over the follow-up to the old butler and Sorvenel, then turned and left through the small door.

The moonlight was deep and insects were chirping. Palenque loosened the tie around his neck irritably, then unbuttoned two buttons before he let out the annoyance in his chest.

As he walked, a slender gray-blue figure appeared in his peripheral vision, and the inexplicable depression in his chest disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Palenque's face didn't show much emotion, but his actions were surprisingly obedient to his heart.

Turning his toes slightly, Palenque raised his foot and walked towards the other party.

"You want a peach?"

The peach tree in the palace is more than 300 years old. It is a first-generation improved variety. Its flowering period is much longer than that of ordinary peach trees, and the fruit matures one or two months later.

Although it is September now, there are still some fist-sized peaches hanging high among the lush branches and leaves, making the insects salivate.

"Your Majesty the Insect King."

Tang Qing had only turned halfway to salute when he was lifted up by the other party using his mental power.

The woody scent of perfume mixed with a light aroma of wine filled Tang Qing's nostrils, smelling unexpectedly pleasant.

Palenque's eyes gently passed over the white spot on the back of the other person's neck, and his pupils, which were melted into the night color, darkened slightly. "No need to be polite."

"You want a peach?"

Palenque pursed his lips and asked again patiently.

Xuanfan Dachong Tang Qing didn't understand, but nodded honestly.

A few seconds later, Tang Qing, who was a little confused, had the other person's dress jacket hanging in his arms. He tilted his head and looked at Palenque who was standing on a tree branch picking peaches. A question slowly popped up in his mind: Why does one have to climb a tree to pick peaches?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to use mental power?

The silver pendant flickered in the moonlight, and was reflected in Tang Qing's eyes along with the graceful collarbone.

Tang Qing blinked, and his wandering gaze quickly moved back. Suddenly, he felt that it would be a good idea to pick fruits from the tree.

Maybe the other party was worried that using mental power would accidentally damage the peach tree.

Tang Qing silently put a question mark above the word "dangerous" and quietly added the labels "enthusiastic" and "thoughtful" next to "beautiful".

Palenque noticed the other person's gaze, the corners of her lips pulled up, her long eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and she smiled like a smug fox, showing off her beauty (bushi) and picking peaches more and more diligently.

With the moon and stars as their companions, in a corner unknown to insects, Palenque and Tang Qing sat on the thick branches of a peach tree, admiring the moonlight and eating sweet peaches.

The autumn wind lifted the corners of their clothes, and the sweet peach fragrance was the beginning of fate, which accompanied Tang Qing throughout the entire autumn.

From then on, Palenque started to feed his wife with delicious food secretly while challenging her to get beaten and pretend to be weak in pursuit of her.

Here's a piece of gossip: The next morning, the old housekeeper was so scared when he saw the peach tree had been plucked out for no apparent reason that he almost contacted the guards.
