Bug Star Notes

It looked like a fine day with plenty of sunshine, but Yan felt a little chilly even though the sun was shining brightly above his head.

Under such sunshine, he didn't feel warm. On the other hand, Li, who had just disbanded the team and walked beside him while calming down, the sweat beads on his friend's body was in stark contrast to his dry body.

"Don't you feel hot?"

Li, who took off his coat early and left only his training vest inside, looked at Yan who was wearing a full uniform in a strange way.

"……Do not."

Yan shook his head, and he looked at the sun above his head again, making sure that he didn't feel the warmth that sunlight should have.

--strangeness.

"Strange." Li said the same words as he thought in his heart.

Knowing that it was just a coincidence that his friend said this, the other party thought that the 'strange' thing was not the same thing as what he thought in his heart, so he didn't continue this topic, he glanced at the time, "Let's go, it's time to go to the restaurant for lunch."

... what lunch?

After saying this, a rhetorical question suddenly popped up in his heart, Yan was stunned, he glanced at the time again, and confirmed that it was time for him and Li to go to the restaurant for dinner after the routine training in the morning was over.

"Walking around, eating a good meal after training is the best!"

Li's performance was the same as usual. He stretched out his arm and hooked Yan's neck, and that arm, still covered in sweat, was directly attached to the brown-haired female, bringing a wave of high-intensity training mixed with sweat and fabric. The unique 'bug smell'.

Yan stared at the arm that wiped sweat stains on his clean collar, noticed his gaze, and rubbed the back of his head with his other free hand, "Don't be so stingy, just let me hug it, just now the training It took too much energy."

"……Um."

Realizing that he didn't seem to have much impression of the training that just ended, Yan suppressed his strange doubts in his heart, he responded, and walked towards the restaurant with his friends.

"By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet!"

On the way, Li smiled as if remembering something.

"Congratulations?"

"Yes, congratulations on your promotion!"

"It wasn't yesterday..." He stopped in the middle of speaking.

Yan found that there seemed to be a hidden memory in his mind that appeared and disappeared.Those places that felt inconsistent just now are all because the memory that is occasionally clear for a moment does not match the current situation.

...Did Li already say 'congratulations' to himself yesterday?

Such doubts that are inconsistent with the status quo are coming to mind, and the brown-haired female can't help but stop.

"yesterday?"

Li followed him to a stop, and looked at him with an inexplicable expression, "What happened yesterday, I just came back from my mission in the middle of the night last night." As he spoke, his friend changed into a worried expression, "Are you too tired recently? Although There are a lot of affairs when you just got promoted to a new position, and this position is no better than before. You have more power in your hands, and there are more things to consider—I am not good at these at all. I know you want to do your best , but don’t push yourself too hard.”

"Hmm." There were still doubts in his heart, but the corners of his lips curled up because of this sincere concern.Yan patted Li on the shoulder, signaling his reassurance, "Thank you."

"What is there to be polite between us?"

Sternly hooking his shoulders, he led him to take another step forward, "Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise you may have to drag me away after a while, because I'm really hungry."

The helpless and impulsive opponent pushed forward, Yan adjusted his pace so that he and the opponent were at the same pace.

"Hey, I almost forgot my business when you interrupted me. Congratulations on your promotion, General Yan!"

"...?!"

Admiral? !

A strong sense of disobedience struck again, Yan finally noticed his current attire——

He was wearing the exclusive military uniform of senior generals that he had seen many times on his immediate chief, An Lai, and the five bright stars on the shoulder straps were shining brightly in the sunlight.

When she entered the restaurant and sat down at the table after receiving the meal, the brown-haired female's eyes still fell on herself involuntarily.

His actions caught Li's attention.

"I also think that uniform looks very energetic, but you have been looking at it for too long." After speaking, he poked the delicate food on the plate and sighed, "As expected of the dining area for senior officers, the food here is the same as before. It's totally two grades."

"……Um."

Yan raised his head and looked around again.

Part of the canteen of the military headquarters was partitioned off and designated as an area exclusively for senior generals to eat.Just now, he subconsciously wanted to go to the ordinary dining area, which is wider and more infested with insects, but he was pulled by his friend with a strange face and turned to the dining area here.

"After finishing the afternoon's work early, let's go to see Admiral An Lai."

Sensing the sudden depression in Li's words, Yan predicted something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with the general?"

"……Word."

In exchange for his questioning, his friend gave him a strange look. He was careless, and he finally noticed Yan's 'absence' today.Li even couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand to touch his forehead, "I would like to ask what's wrong with you, why do you seem to be offline all the time today?"

"..."

Yan didn't make a sound, because he also felt that Li's words were right.

There was indeed something wrong with him, but he couldn't find the reason for a while.

"Forget it."

Seeing that the brown-haired female was silent for a long time, knowing her friend's stuffy temper, she sighed sharply, and turned the conversation back to the previous topic, "You really forgot that it was Admiral An Lai who was being interrogated by the elders of the Zuo family today. day?"

"!" Yan was taken aback, "Admiral accepts interrogation?"

--why?

He found himself searching his memory and couldn't find an answer to how this event had happened.

"..."

Li's hand finally covered Yan's forehead, "Are you okay?" He checked the temperature several times and withdrew his hand mutteringly.

Even if he and Yan were the only ones in the high-end dining area at this time, they came late, and the rest of the generals had already finished eating, and the work area was far away from here, so the Zerg over there should not be able to hear the conversation here. But Li still lowered his voice, "General An Lai's inability to conceive was finally known by the upper echelons of the Zuo family. Even if Patriarch Zuo wanted to protect him wholeheartedly, he is the next head of the Zuo family after all. I can't tolerate a female who can't lay eggs to become the next head of the family, today is the day when the Zuo family will hold a family meeting to deprive the position of general female—you really don't remember at all?!"

Not only was there shock in Li's tone, but also a hint of blame.

Everyone knows that the brown-haired female is Admiral An Lai's capable subordinate who has always taken care of her. Every time she is promoted, the Admiral's personal recommendation is indispensable, and she has always respected and loved An Lai.

"When you communicated with me the day before yesterday, you emphasized that today we must go to see the general's situation. Even if we can't do anything, it's good to wait outside as a spiritual support." Li was a little unbelievable, he thought about it For a long time, I can only attribute my friend's abnormality to being too tired these two days, "Are you...are you really busy and dizzy?"

Being questioned like this, Yan was silent for a while, and could only give an ambiguous answer, "...probably."

Completely at a loss, his own heart is equally unbelievable - because of the retort he almost uttered when he heard that Admiral An Lai was unable to conceive, "Isn't there a solution already?"

I just don't know how I spent my afternoon working hours.

When taking the admiral's special carrier plane to the office at the transfer point, the route of the carrier plane made him feel unfamiliar.After arriving at the office, the spacious and simple office also made him feel strange.Even the adjutant who greeted him respectfully and the work documents to be processed on the table felt strange to his eyes.

It's totally like working with instinct and intuition.

When Li Fa came to ask him whether he had completed the work, Yan was shocked to realize that he had unknowingly 'reviewed' the document.

[alright. ]

After replying like this, it didn't take long for his friend to send another message asking him to meet him in the lobby.

With a complicated mood, he tidied up the things on the table, and explained to the adjutant that he was leaving early today, in exchange for a understanding look from the other party, and asked him to bring along the other party's concern for Admiral An Lai.

After saying yes, he set off to the hall to meet Li, and then they drove the aircraft to Zuo's house together.

The destination was the residence of Patriarch Zuo En, not the head of the Zuo family, which made the brown-haired female a little surprised.

"This is what Patriarch Zuo Shao requested."

Li whispered, "The occasion is chosen in my own house. Even if those elders want to use domestic punishment on the general because the general has been lying about infertility for so long and occupying the position of the female monarch, they must first go through the owner of the house, Mr. Zuo. Only with the consent of the owner."

"……I see."

"Patriarch Zuo Shao is indeed very protective of Admiral Anlai. If it hadn't been for the high-ranking members of the Zuo family who first proposed to change the female king, Patriarch Zuo Shao would have resisted with all his strength. In view of the general's senior military position, they would have It won't get to the point of a joint trial." Having fully understood that my friend probably forgot all these important matters today, Li continued to sigh and said, "Because of Patriarch Zuo's resistance, they now think that the general used his authority and power to Coercing his male lord by force, forcing Patriarch Zuo Shao not to dare to change the female lord—it's just nonsense! Everyone knows how good their relationship is, and they are completely model companions in the eyes of military females!"

"..."

Yan couldn't help pressing his head.

He found that he regretted the situation of the admiral, and what he thought of just now was a model partner. Could it be that he and...

Who is he with?

Another inexplicable question appeared in the bottom of my heart.

The aircraft drove steadily all the way to the door of the Zuo Patriarch's residence. The Zuo family has been under martial law in layers. The doors and windows of the central villa are closed, and the curtains are also drawn. I couldn't see any interrogation in the house at all, and it didn't hurt the hearts of the insects who rarely watched the excitement of the aristocratic family.

Yan Yuli parked the aircraft on the public apron beside the road, and walked to a corner where he could see some of the courtyard and not too many insects.

Yan was surprised to find that after experiencing a series of strange feelings about the surrounding things today, when he saw this villa belonging to Patriarch Zuo Shao, he felt "familiar".

At the same time, he also noticed the other side of the corner where they were standing, the residence that was only separated from Patriarch Zuo's villa by a flight passage.Looking over there from where he and Li were standing now, they could see the roof of the villa next door and a corner of the garden adjacent to this side.

"..."

If Patriarch Zuo's house gave Yan the feeling of 'familiarity', then the villa next door gave him the feeling of 'very familiar', even 'friendly'.

In order to facilitate residents' home and travel, most of the traditional keys have been discarded. Most houses now use electronic magnetic cards, and many electronic magnetic cards are directly bound to ID cards.When a worm's identity information is entered into the intelligent system inside the house, he can use his ID card as a universal key.

"where are you going?"

Li was surprised to find that he didn't look to the side for a while, and when he turned his head again, he found that the brown-haired female was walking towards the next door with a difficult expression.

Yan didn't answer his friend's question, as if he was bewitched by some kind of force, he walked to the gate of the next door.

"..."

He took out his ID card and pasted the electronic card on the magnetic card scanning place next to the gate of the yard.All these actions are as natural as they should be, and then they only need to wait for the identity information to be verified and the door opens.

But the door did not open, and the harsh siren sounded.

"Drip - someone unknown is trying to open the gate, repeat, someone unknown is trying to open the gate."

The house security system was activated and woken up, and the electronic sound with strong mechanical texture dutifully notified the homeowner of the situation outside the house.

"What are you doing?!"

After being stunned for a moment, he rushed over with a shocked expression and grabbed the arm of the brown-haired female.

Many Zerg around who were watching the situation of the Zuo family also turned their heads and looked at this side in surprise.

"...Hello, what can I do?"

The owner who heard the alarm came out quickly. It was a young female. The other party was quite polite when he saw that there were two military females in military uniforms standing outside the courtyard. asked.

"..."

Seeing Yan standing there as if in a daze, without saying anything, just looking straight at the other party, Li hurriedly smoothed things over for him, "It's nothing, it's nothing, sorry for the trouble."

As he said that, he wanted to pull Yan to leave here, but he found that his friend seemed to have taken root under his feet and was fixed in place. It took him a lot of effort to drag him away from the place.

"what happened?"

Another Zerg from the room also came out, this time a male with light brown mid-hair, and walked up to the previous female.

"Lord."

The previous female worm immediately looked at each other, "I'll take care of it, I don't need to trouble you to come out."

"It's okay, it's a bit noisy outside, I just wanted to come out and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the two worms looked at the two military females who had not yet left the courtyard.

Li looked at Yan's reaction, and found that the other party no longer stared at the female insect, but stared at the male insect that came out.

"I'm sorry, if nothing happens, please leave quickly."

Noticing that the eyes of the army female in front of him fell on his male master, the female that walked out earlier put away his polite expression, and his attitude became cold and tough. He even took two steps forward to block the male.

Even if it is a military female with the rank of general, it will not cut off any female's instinct to protect her hero at any time.

"..."

——My brother, say something quickly!

Li almost shouted in his heart, but things backfired, and he still didn't say a word, not even a single word of explanation.

The brown-haired female seemed to be in some kind of complicated emotional shock, and couldn't say a word at all.

In the end, it was Li You who apologized to the family for a long while before forcibly dragging Yan away from the door of the other party's house.

Before he managed to drag Yan away from the yard gate of this house, the cubs of this family also came out because they were curious about the movement outside the house.

"Father male, father female." The cub's unique soft and waxy voice, and the sound of distinguishing sounds that should be thrown into the arms of one of the parents, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

It was the female who came out first who spoke. As the family walked back, the female said to the cub, "It's just a strange officer..."

The following words can no longer be heard clearly, because the other party's family has already returned to the house and closed the door.

Forcibly pretending not to see the strange eyes cast by the bugs around him, Li dragged his words back to the corner where they stood at the beginning.

"It's been said to be a 'strange chief'!" He lowered his voice and said to his friend a little annoyed, "You have been abnormal all day long, but the degree of 'abnormality' is a bit too much to go to the door of a stranger's house. Bar?"

"...that's not 'Strange Bugs'."

The voice is dry and hoarse.

Surprised by the deep emotion coming from his friend's tone, Li Gang's aroused resentment dissipated immediately.

"Hey, what's the matter?" He pressed Shangyan's shoulder worriedly, and then found that his palm was trembling.

——Because the body under his palm was trembling slightly.

This made Li couldn't help but worry even more, "Are you okay? What happened?"

"That's not a 'stranger's house'." Yan said this sentence almost by clenching his teeth.

His lips were already white from being bitten, and there was a bloody smell in his mouth.

The brown-haired female stared straight at the villa next door, "That's..." He took a deep breath and repeated it several times, as if only in this way could he restrain his ending from shaking too much, "There should have been... ..."

Yan closed his eyes, "...that was supposed to be my home."
