Real men don't engage in fake gays [Interstellar]

Oston stopped eating when he heard a knock at the door. Except for his lips being a little red and swollen from the hot pepper, his demeanor was the same as usual.Alston habitually pressed one leg over the other, folded his hands, and rested lightly on his knees.

Erik saw this scene as soon as he entered the room. An elegant male sat at the dining table and looked at him gently.The other party's gaze is not sharp, and it is very similar to his temperament, which makes people feel close, but there is also a strange sense of majesty that makes people unable to approach.

He was sitting there like a master at this moment - obviously it was a place he had been to many times, but Erik suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn't be here.

He sensed the crisis, and even if he didn't smell the other party's pheromone, he could draw a conclusion—this is an excellent Alpha.Perhaps sensitive little animals are often the most sensitive to danger, and Erik didn't even dare to sit down in front of Auston.

After Lu Mingze appeased the colonel, he temporarily tied it to the door. When he came in from the house, he found such a scene. He was quite amused, and said, "Erick, why are you sitting and standing? We happened to be eating Hot pot, do you want to eat together?"

Upon hearing this, Auston suddenly turned his gaze to Lu Mingze, glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, let's eat together."

Erik shrank his shoulders in fright: "No...no need, I came here to tell you about the joint grain harvesting the day after tomorrow, because everyone's things are consumed faster this year, and Manggs said to Collect food in advance, I’m here to tell you not to forget to get on the boat when the time comes.”

Lu Mingze frowned after hearing this: "Is it Manges' decision alone?"

"I don't know. He said it was a decision after discussion among the big guys, but I didn't participate in the discussion."

Lu Mingze scratched his head involuntarily: "Really, that's more than half a month earlier than in previous years...I haven't prepared much here yet."

Erik couldn't help but kept glancing in Oston's direction, but he found that the other party had no intention of speaking, so he relaxed a little.He was a bit misunderstood when he heard Lu Mingze say this, and hesitantly asked: "Is your money not enough? I still have some here, do you want me to lend it to you?"

Lu Mingze smiled: "No, I've already settled the money issue, and I'll go with you the day after tomorrow. Is it the usual time?"

Erik nodded: "Then I'll go first."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, do you?"

Lu Mingze came to his senses after finishing speaking. Seeing Eric looking at him helplessly, he scratched the back of his head: "All right, then I'll take you out, the colonel is still outside."

——They were originally in an embarrassing relationship with each other's exes, and they haven't been in touch since they broke up.What's more, Erik now even has a family and has a child. If they have been together for a long time, it is really easy to make people think wrong.

Rumors in this world can be spread in full swing by just catching wind and shadow, and they can't stand the slightest tease.

After Lu Mingze saw off the people and came back, he found that Oston was eating hot pot calmly again, so he sat down opposite him and picked up his chopsticks.Oston is not used to using chopsticks yet, but it is very inconvenient to use a fork to eat hot pot, so he ate very slowly, and a piece of tripe was soaked in the soup for a minute or two before he scooped it up.

Lu Mingze couldn't help reminding him: "Eating like this is like eating a mouthful of rubber band. Just burn your hairy belly for five seconds."

Oston hummed, put down his chopsticks suddenly, and wiped his mouth with a paper towel: "What is joint grain harvesting?"

While stuffing something into his mouth, Lu Mingze breathed out: "I was going to tell you after dinner, but you want to listen now?"

Auston looked at him and smiled softly: "We'll talk when you're full."

Lu Mingze stuffed a piece of pork into his mouth, thinking to himself, you keep looking at me with this expression, my stomach will droop if I eat it, okay?He reluctantly turned off the hot pot and put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I'd better tell you first."

"All ears."

"Wow, the idioms are used very smoothly, I have to praise you."

Oston stopped talking again, he felt that Lu Mingze could spend another night with him next time.

"As you can see, Snow Star's natural conditions are very poor, and it is difficult to grow food here... Well, you know what food is, you see, since you came, we have been eating potatoes and sweet potatoes. The substitutes for food, wheat, rice, and even oats, cannot be grown here on a large scale, which leads to...we can't eat what we want all year round. But there is a large-scale joint grain harvest every year in Nancheng, That is, each family sends out one or two young and middle-aged laborers, and everyone smuggles to other planets to buy together."

Lu Mingze smacked his lips after finishing speaking: "It's still quite a large-scale group activity."

Oston is a good listener. After Lu Mingze finished speaking, he asked again: "So, who is Manggs? You seem to listen to him? Is he the leader here?"

Lu Mingze clicked his tongue in displeasure: "A self-willed idiot, he should have been to several other planets before, and he always felt that he was very powerful, with a wide vision, and he was the leader of Nancheng. But he is quite good at making decisions. There is no big mistake, let's just stop by and listen."

"You seem very dissatisfied with him?"

Lu Mingze took out a piece of meat that fell on his plate and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Well... how should I put it, it's okay."

Auston did not intend to let him go: "If you are dissatisfied, why not be the leader yourself."

Lu Mingze tapped his lips: "Tired."

"..."

Auston was embarrassed for a moment, and then asked: "He seems to have a problem with you."

"It's a festival...it's not really a thing, but there is indeed a bit of disagreement between us."

Lu Mingze spread his hands: "At a certain grain harvesting discussion meeting, everyone wanted to recommend a person who would be in charge of contacting everyone. Manges recommended himself, but he seemed to be more likely to offend people. Many people objected, and then someone suggested Speaking of anonymous voting. As for me, unfortunately, I beat Mangles by one vote. The scene was very embarrassing. If you care about others, you will give up your seat."

Auston couldn't hold back, and laughed: "It's more embarrassing for you to do this."

"Am I such an idiot?"

Lu Mingze rolled his eyes: "That's what I did at the time. I told everyone that I also voted for myself and it should be invalidated. Then this seat will be given to Mangs."

Oston hummed lightly: "You lied very poorly. If you were someone who wanted to be the leader, how could you tell about your own vote?"

"Yes, yes, as far as you are smart, I am so honest, how can I lie."

The aroma from the hot pot wafted out, making Lu Mingze's glutton come up again, so he lit the fire under the pot again. He went to the closet to get a bottle of wine and two glasses, and poured them for each of them. a cup.

"Go one."

Alston held the wine glass and touched him lightly, and drank it in one gulp.

After Lu Mingze drank a glass of wine, he was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly asked: "Then what will you do if this matter is placed on you?"

Auston raised the corners of his lips: "I will not give up the position of leader at all."

"..."

"Or, I'm not as kind as you, and I don't even think about whether the other party is embarrassed, um... If it's a strong opponent, I may use some small means to suppress him later."

Lu Mingze looked at Auston speechlessly. The latter smiled and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said: "It's terrible to make an enemy, especially when the other party is a strong enemy, and you still let him take power... Ugh , how to describe it, there is no sense of crisis."

He asked: "How do you describe this in the idiom of your hometown?"

Lu Mingze was speechless for a while: "If you don't kill a snake, you will be injured." At the same time, he thought, what did people like Auston do in the past? Live to be so big.

After Lu Mingze finished speaking, he sighed, and then kindly explained: "The direct meaning is that you can't kill a snake, and you will be bitten by it one day, because snakes have revenge."

Auston lowered his head slightly and repeated several times, then suddenly smiled brightly at Lu Mingze: "Ah Ze, I am really more and more curious about your hometown."

"Stop! Don't be curious, I won't take you there."

That place on Earth...he still wants to go back.

Auston hummed inexplicably, and Lu Mingze suddenly remembered: "Speaking of which, we are going the day after tomorrow. Do you want to stay at home, or come with me?"

"With you, of course."

Lu Mingze took the chopsticks to pick up the fast hairy belly and boiled it in the hot pot: "Hey? In the past years, the colonel stayed at home to watch the door. I thought I could take him out for a walk this year... But I have to tell you in advance that the smuggling Going to other planets is a very dangerous thing, if you are not afraid of dying inexplicably, come along with you.”

"Still dying?"

"Well!"

Lu Mingze was scalded by the meat in his mouth, haha, he quickly chewed and swallowed it, nodded and said: "Of course! In recent years, the number of deaths has been relatively small. Let me calculate. Two died the year before last. If one dies, we will strive to return one alive this year."

Alston couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he felt that there was nothing funny-they were a group of people who might pay the price of their lives at any time for survival, even for food. This was a tragedy, not funny.

"It's okay, I think I can fight and try to come back alive."

Lu Mingze glanced at him with a smile: "Then I will fight for it too."

After drinking for three rounds, the two chatted very happily. Oston did not stop his chopsticks this time. He picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Lu Mingze: "Then, who is that person who just came? I see him I seem to have a good relationship with you, and I want to lend you money, why did you refuse?"

Maybe it was because we started chatting for a long time, maybe after drinking some wine, Lu Mingze lost the vigilance he should have, and he was no longer so defensive about Auston's question: "He... well, there is a relationship between us. A relationship that needs to avoid suspicion, he is my ex-boyfriend."

"…………"

Lu Mingze glanced strangely at Oston who suddenly fell silent: "What are you doing?"

"You... have a lot of ex-boyfriends."

Lu Mingze was so angry that he knocked on the table: "You think I am willing! Who made them keep cheating!"

Alston smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, then tell me, what's going on here, he doesn't seem to be Alpha."

Lu Mingze hummed: "He's a Beta, but it's not because Beta is affected by pheromones that I'm with him. Erick...it's pretty pitiful too. He has no family and lives alone all the time. He and Mangles are neighbors, and that guy always bullies him. I bumped into him a few times, and I helped him out, and then the little guy posted it. I probably feel more sympathy for him than I like him. "

But sympathy is also a kind of liking, right?

Auston took a sip of his wine, and his gray eyes looked at Lu Mingze calmly: "Then, why did you break up?"

Lu Mingze was not in a hurry to speak, he looked down at the wine glass in front of him, his finger slid over it, and he sighed deeply: "Why did you break up, I still want to know, why did we break up in the first place... ..."
