Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

Alvin did come, with a smile on his face, and the winter clothes he was wearing looked like a smiling bucket.

According to Ivan's aesthetics, this coat is actually very ugly.There are only three reasons why he is willing to wear it:

1. This is what Ryan picked for him;

2. No way, it's too cold;

3. It must be warm inside, and as soon as he comes in and takes it off, he's a decent bug again.

There is really nothing to comment on the first two items, but as for the third item...he had a pretty good idea.

Ivan thinks that the indoor temperature must be very warm, because the temperature of his dormitory is as warm as his home on Tobias.He hasn't been to other dormitories, so he still can't fully realize the necessary causal relationship between "warmth" and "male bugs", that is, in order to save energy, a little heating in the winter barracks is really better than nothing.

So the smiling bucket stood unwillingly at the door for a while, and slowly turned into a smiling bucket.

But Aiwen was not overwhelmed by the cruel reality of having to continue wearing this iron bucket-like winter suit.He looked around and saw precisely the worms who had met once before.When he was on Tobias Star, Ivan was acquainted with himself and could chat with anyone, so he was very confident this time.

He immediately approached the group of research worms in big strides, but just as he took a step, all the worms on the long table immediately turned their heads in unison, looking at him with a little panic in their eyes.

All the insects had complex expressions: "Why does it feel like he came here to grab the bag (°ー°〃)"

Alvin smiled: "?"

But the research bugs still made way for Ivan to sit down.During this period, none of them spoke, trying their best to make everything look as if nothing had happened, and none of them had seen Ivan.

So Ai Wen naturally became the first to speak: "Hello! What are you eating?"

This is just an opening line, because all the worm dishes are on the table, and Evan has his own eyes (and very useful!).He looked at the plates one by one, and found that he couldn't recognize what their cafeteria food was for a while.

就拿坐在他旁边，脸上有一条刀疤的虫的盘子举例（其实用面部伤痕来指代一只虫是不太礼貌的，但反正这话艾文不会说出口，再说他马上就要进入问名字的环节了）：一只圆圆的盘子，形状像一个钟表。12-3方向组成的扇形里有一块黑色糊糊；3-9方向组成的扇形里有一块黄褐色糊糊；9-11方向是一块红色糊糊；最后11-12的可怜小缝隙里是一块绿色糊糊。

Alvin: "..."

Suddenly, I understood why Ryan specially arranged for Chong to cook for him.

Ivan's breakfast is eaten with Ryan, not a formal meal, but the same nutritional supplement as he ate on the starship.He didn't think that the barracks were full of nutrients, because those things needed to be imported from the Federation, and as far as he knew, the Serbian star was a more self-sufficient type.Now his food dreams were shattered, but he still decided to integrate into the friendly atmosphere of the cafeteria, so he looked at the plates of other bugs and couldn't help swallowing.Then he turned to Scarworm, who had been peeking at him as calmly as possible, and asked kindly:

"What's your name?"

"Bert," Scarworm said with a sigh of relief.

"What are you eating?"

Soon the bugs introduced to Ivan the composition of the Googies.The brown paste is the main dish, the others are side dishes, and the red paste is of course the chili sauce.

"Are you here for dinner?" Bert asked.

So Aiwen immediately seized the opportunity and asked them if they needed any vouchers to pick up food in the cafeteria.The answer is no, because all the worms that appear in the cafeteria belong to Star Serbia, and they can enjoy (Ivan Tucao: Enjoy??) the food in the cafeteria.Immediately, a hospitable worm led Ivan to pick up the plate. After 5 minutes, he sat back at his seat on the lunch table, with Bert on the left and the worm who led him to cook on the right.That worm was not a research worm, it was named Luras.

Ai Wen's plate was piled with three-color paste, only a small drop of chili sauce dripped tentatively in the corner.

"I tried the slightly spicy one on the starship," he said to Luras and Bert. "It might not suit me, but I decided to give it another try."

Lulas and Bert looked at each other.

Then a hand stretched out from directly opposite Ivan, and wiped away the drop of chili sauce.

Alvin: "!"

"Hello, I'm Carson." The worm sitting opposite slowly raised a finger at him. On it was the chili sauce wiped from Ivan's plate, red like a drop of blood, "This is our Insanely spicy. We thought something might go wrong if we asked you to try it, and we hope we didn't offend you."

Alvin: Σ(⊙△⊙)

Ai Wen had lingering fears: "Ah, ok, no problem..."

After the short-lived chili sauce incident, Ivan was finally able to eat.Although the squishies were not very successful in arousing the appetite, he ate them all with a strong face and a smile in line with the principle of not being wasted.He guessed that other worms who visited Serbia might not be as polite as he was, because when he swallowed the last mouthful, he actually received approving looks from all around him.

Alvin: <(￣︶￣)↗

He couldn't find a tissue or handkerchief, so he covered his mouth with his sleeve, hiccupped a little, and made up his mind not to eat again until the next morning.

In fact, he said a lot during the meal just now.The military females on Serbia were more shy than Ivan imagined, just kept asking him questions, and most of them didn't speak much.So Ivan tried his best to eat the sticky meal, while talking about the customs and insects on Tobias in as much detail as possible, if it had such a thing.He didn't particularly shy away from his prosthetic limbs, so when the meal was over, the worms on the table at least knew that it was his right arm that he couldn't help showing off, and one of the eyes was also fake.

"Isn't that very convenient?" Burt was very curious, "You can watch whatever you want?"

"Very convenient." Ivan said happily.

"In that case, I'd like one too," Bert said.

All the bugs started laughing.

Because of the talk, the worms ate their meals faster than ever before, giving them some extra after-lunch time.They don't bet on their own bugs, and since Ivan has temporarily succeeded in breaking into the interior, they decided to play something else, such as arm wrestling.

"You can bet on one of them to win." Burt explained to him, "But since you're not a Serbian bug, you don't have to bet on anything."

The first round was a match between Carson and Luras. Ivan observed their posture and decided to win with Carson.It turned out to be the case.Then Luras competed with another worm, and then there were two worms whose names Aiwen didn't remember... Finally, he became interested, rolled up his sleeves and said:

"I want to try it next game!"

The worms immediately looked at him.

Alvin: "..."

Ai Wen: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that my hands are not real hands, compared to suspected cheating qwq"

The worms looked at his thin arms: "...Actually, we think you will suffer..."

But they didn't speak out about their concerns, and finally decided to let Ivan try.Anyway, it's a friendly match, even if you lose, you won't lose a hand or something.

But just in case, they let the research bugs play first.

Bert was the first to go into battle, and he showed his strength, but the referee gave an order, and Ivan pressed lightly, and his hand fell on the table without any resistance.

All the insects: "Hey, isn't it too obvious that you are releasing water!"

Burt was confused: "I don't have one!"

He shook his hand and pointed at Carson, "Come and try!"

Carson was the bug who defeated Lulas in the first round.At that time, Ivan bet on him to win, but the reason was actually very abundant.He was a big man, muscular and full of strength.

He held Ivan's hand and waited for the referee to announce the start. During the period, he first looked at Ivan's arm, then at his own, and decided to put some water in later, but of course he wouldn't just look at it like Bert did. play.Even if it is to release water, it is still necessary to take into account a little bit of the opponent's self-esteem.

Carson thought very well, and of course he thought beautifully.

However, as soon as the game started, he knew how unnecessary his thoughts were.

Ai Wen stood opposite him excitedly, bowing his waist so that he could put his elbows on the table.The reason for such an awkward posture was all the fault of the winter clothes he was wearing.Not only does it look like a barrel, but its hardness is also quite close to that of a barrel (Ivan suspects that its designer really wanted to design a barrel), so that he can't even sit comfortably.It's nothing to eat, but he is very focused on every game, and he can't let it hinder him.

His sleeves had been rolled up (at least the fabric on them was softer, thank goodness), which made him look more out of place overall, like a kid in a bug's clothes.

...except for his strength.

Except for his strength!

Carson was already shocked.At the moment when the referee bug announced the start, Aiwen actually didn't make any effort, but politely waited for the opponent to go first.However, for Carson, this was a sign of Ivan's lack of strength, so he took a deep breath and began to press down the back of the opponent's hand as slowly as possible.At the same time, Aiwen immediately became excited when he received the signal to start the war, so he used all his strength to press down Carson's hand.

His movements are quite natural, and there is a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, Carson only felt a huge force coming, he was startled, and reflexively exerted all his strength.However, the situation of the battle did not reverse instantly as he had imagined: the strange force was still slowly downward, and he could only watch helplessly as his hand struggled to death, and finally fell down on the table with a "thump".

All the insects (with hateful eyes): "You let it go! Let it go again! What's going on with one or two!"

Carson: "No, no, listen to me—"

He turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Burt's "now you know how I felt just now" wonderful eyes.

Carson: "..."

After this battle, the two worms who wrestled with Aiwen's wrists both suffered some shocks, but the other worms kept booing, and they couldn't justify themselves.Ivan shook his wrist excitedly, and asked if there was a third worm to try.Luras is willing to give it a try, but before that, the worm who first saw Ivan with sharp eyes shouted again:

"Look, is that the orderly Sauron?"
