Chapter 116 This male insect is particularly good at pretending!
The female insect felt embarrassed as all eyes turned to her. She wanted to explain, but Qi Min interrupted her first.
"What's in this water? Is there some kind of drug or something? You've come here out of the blue to be friendly, what's your purpose?! You'd better explain yourself clearly, or I'm going to call the police!"
Qi Min raised the personal terminal on his wrist, adopting a very vigilant posture, as if the female insect in front of him was some kind of criminal.
"No, no, it's just a bottle of ordinary water. You've misunderstood. I just think you're very special and wanted to get to know you..."
Upon hearing Qi Min's words, the female insect became somewhat anxious and offered a slightly flustered explanation.
It's fine if other female insects nearby misunderstand and report it, but if a male insect reports it, then he will be in trouble even if he is not. The male insect protection law is not just a slogan.
"Want to get to know me? Hmph, I don't believe it. I've heard a lot of male insects have gone missing recently. How can you prove you're not a criminal?"
Qi Min's face was filled with obvious suspicion, as if to say, "Let's see how you try to deny it."
"I...I really didn't, I..."
Faced with Qi Min's distrust and the increasingly suspicious gazes around her, the female insect panicked and frantically tried to think of a way to prove her innocence.
"Alright, alright, I see you can't prove it anyway. How about this, for my safety, and also to prove you're not a criminal,..."
Please don't sit next to me anymore. Move to another spot, and take your water with you; it'll make me feel safer.
Qi Min raised his hand to stop his explanation, seemingly indicating that he didn't want to pursue the matter any further.
Upon hearing Qi Min's words, the female insect paused slightly, her previously somewhat flustered expression froze.
He immediately understood what Qi Min really meant and felt speechless and bewildered.
He had never been so directly rejected by a male insect before; it was always the males who took the initiative to show interest in him.
But he always felt that the male insects were too superficial, and he always politely refused them.
But this time, while attending the course, he saw something that interested him, and couldn't help but step forward to learn more about it.
But to her surprise, her usually popular appearance didn't even earn her a second glance from the male insect.
Instead, they tried to get him out of his seat using this method, which made him feel rather annoyed.
But since Qi Min had already said that, he couldn't ignore a male insect's request, which was almost a direct attempt to drive it away.
She could only suppress her anger and embarrassment, reach for the unopened bottle of water, and then, with her belongings on the table, silently leave the seat next to Qi Min and quietly move to a seat a little further away.
Qi Min looked at the quiet and expanded space around him, nodded in satisfaction, stopped his deliberate act, and sat down to focus on the podium.
Fortunately, the course was not taught by a live teacher, but rather through a simulated projection. He was also seated relatively far back, so it did not affect the course being taught.
Qi Min, who had refocused on the podium, did not notice the female insect that had just left, who was still watching his back with great interest.
Even if Qi Min notices it, he probably won't care. He generally doesn't pay much attention to people and things he's not interested in, to avoid taking up his memory storage.
Soon, this technological feast-like course slowly came to an end, drawing to a close with Qi Min filled with admiration and respect.
Qi Min watched the crowd slowly move away, not in a hurry to get up. First, he wrote down the interesting things he had heard today, and then, after checking the time, he called Ling Yi.
"Beep...beep..." Ling Yi seemed to be busy, and the phone rang several times before being answered.
"A powerful ruler?"
Ling Yi answered the phone and shouted something, followed by some background noise on his end.
"Hmm, it's already noon. Have you had lunch yet?"
Qi Min listened to the noise on his end and asked with some concern. His longing for Ling Yi began to slowly overflow, and his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness as he spoke.
The female insect, who had been standing not far away, stared in disbelief, her eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of envy.
He had never seen a male insect speak so gently, not in a deliberately feigned way, but from the heart, an unintentional expression.
The female insect suddenly became very curious about who was talking to Qi Min. Generally speaking, for a high-ranking male insect like Qi Min, his mate would most likely be assigned to him.
The one who could make him speak so gently must be someone he really likes. He couldn't help but start to wonder whether the person on the other end of the phone was Qi Min's female attendant or a female concubine; it couldn't possibly be his female lord.
Completely unaware that there was a female insect beside him, speculating and analyzing his situation, Qi Min was still telling his wife how much he missed her and trying to get Ling Yi to leave work early so he could come home and spend time with him.
"Don't you have any time at all? You haven't come home to rest for two nights, leaving me alone in the empty, cold room. I really don't feel safe."
I also encountered a criminal today, you have no idea how scared I was..."
Qi Min exaggerated his story to Ling Yi, who was completely unaware of the facts, paying no attention to those around him.
The female insect, who had originally intended to approach and strike up a conversation again, suddenly stopped in her tracks, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
The female insect listened to Qi Min recount the events that had happened not long ago, which sounded both serious and aggrieved, and felt both that it was absurd and puzzling.
'Criminals? Are you talking about him? And he's scared? Is this male insect serious?'
As he spoke to the male insect, his tone and expression were earnest.
She felt that the interest and affection she had just developed for this male insect had been completely destroyed in an instant.
If he weren't the one directly involved, the criminal Qi Min was talking about, if he were an uninformed female insect, he might have believed what Qi Min was saying.
The female insect suddenly realized she was wrong. How could she think this male insect was special just because of its appearance and its behavior and expression that were different from other male insects?
No, this male insect is quite special; it's especially good at hiding its true nature!
The female insect let out a soft chuckle and completely withdrew her gaze. Slightly saddened by the interest that Qi Min had ignited, she looked away, feeling that it was truly difficult to find a male insect that she admired.
'Perhaps he's destined to be alone his whole life, a single female insect forever, sigh…'
The female insect sighed softly as she tidied up the things on the table, then walked out of the classroom—a place that had saddened her—with heavy, sorrowful steps, without looking back.
