An Opportunity; A Scheme

A tense mood that is nonetheless marred by embarrassment.

All has been taken into account, except for the fact that Xiao Ji and He Huaijian’s younger brother turned out to be a male.

But normally, isn’t having a male younger brother, and even a male younger brother on good terms something to boast about? Why do these two look completely oblivious?!

Both Xiao Ji and He Huaijian who grew up on the landfill planet and have not the common sense regarding males, look like they’re about to explode. Cheng Zhaoci can see that Huaijian’s hand with the grenade-like thing is bursting to the seams with veins. He’s probably this close to actually pulling the pin and throwing it.

Of course, expression-wise, our young comrade He has always had his poker face, like everything is always under his control.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhaoci decides to poke his head out from behind Xiao Ji, towards the shemales standing or fallen over opposite, “um, can we go now?”

“Huh? Oh! Ohoh! Of course! Yessir!” The frontmost shemale who has dyed hair is ruffling through it while showing a dumb smile at Cheng Zhaoci. Then he finally turns around to yell from the bottom of his chest, “quit standing around like you’re auditioning to be the next electric pole! Now scarper!”

The whole cohort of shemales quickly part into two sides.

Sometimes, Cheng Zhaoci thinks, the identity of a male really is useful.

Since Cheng Zhaoci is a male insectoid, though, it’s clearly inappropriate to bring him to Xiao Ji’s dorm. And Xiao Ji, being the brash and brazen lad that he is, drags Cheng Zhaoci along to his classroom and kicks all his classmates outside unreasonably. Cheng Zhaoci has to quickly put a stop to it.

Xiao Ji is going to be a fellow student for years with these classmates. It’s unconscionable to get on the entire class’ bad side this early. Being a lone wolf means isolation at best, or even being picked on at worst. He fears that regardless of Xiao Ji’s fighting prowess, he can’t win against every shemale and demi at once.

Though even if Cheng Zhaoci stopped Xiao Ji’s silliness, none of the young teenage insectoids are streaming in. They’re simply all crowded at the doorway, poking their heads in to peek.

Peek as they will, but if Cheng Zhaoci so much as turns his head their way, they’d even shyly retreat their heads back down their necks.

Completely opposite to how confident and bold the three shemales that rushed at him in the beginning.

Cheng Zhaoci visited his brothers during the longer break after the morning lessons, so there are many insectoids hanging out about – which only worsens the crowd gathering at the doorway by the minute.

And Cheng Zhaoci gives up doing anything about it. He pretends he doesn’t see anything.

He’s here to fulfil his promise to treat Xiao Ji and He Huaijian to cupcakes. Yes. The promise they made back on the landfill planet. Neither Xiao Ji nor He Huaijian have ever tried cupcakes, but unexpectedly for Cheng Zhaoci, when Xiao Ji takes his first bite of the cupcake, his brows furrow visibly.

He looks like he is fighting his gag reflexes just to swallow.

“It’s nice,” praises He Huaijian at the side, making Xiao Ji look at him oddly, doubting the authenticity to his claims.

“You don’t like it?” Cheng Zhaoci grabs the cupcake from Xiao Ji’s hands. It’s clear he cannot stand it. It’ll be torture to make him continue eating.

It’s quite depressing for Xiao Ji to fail to engage in camaraderie with his good brother because of him, as he explains, “it feels really weird, like eating mud,” mud with excess sugar added in. The taste was abhorrent.

Although Xiao Ji also really wants to curse his lack of eloquent words. It’s their Ci-zai‘s first salary that he’s squandering here. He sounds really ungrateful. Especially when Ci-zai is a treasured male, “just let me have it, Ci-zai. I heard these are expensive.”

Just looking at how colourful and overdecorated it is speaks volumes as to its cost.

“It’s fine,” replies Cheng Zhaoci, dodging Xiao Ji’s hand as he throws the cupcake squarely into his own mouth, “I’ll have it, don’t force yourself.”

What one may think is good may be something completely unacceptable to others. Honey to me, cyanide to him. Yes, that is good material. He can probably hammer out some more plot for the little zombie king.

The strongest shemales tries to make him adapt to hu- insectoid food, and make him more insectoid in actions, but the food is quite disgusting to the little zombie king.

Though while Cheng Zhaoci’s imagination is running wild, he gets dragged down back to reality by a whole chorus of gasps.

Gasps coming from the shemales and demis at the door.

“That mister! He ate what Xiao Ji has taken a bite of!” A shemale is quietly expressing his shock to his companion.

“Is he really a male?! I can’t believe it, oh heavens!”

“I’m so jealous of that shemale. Why could he get such a good fiancé?” A demi who’s just here to see the fuss is lamenting, but he gets bonked on the back of his head immediately.

“Fiancé my arse! That male is that shemale’s younger brother!”

“Wait, does that mean I have a chance?”

“I think I can!”

Meanwhile, Xiao Ji is all blushing while also covering his mouth, “you, you, you…” He feels like he’s been utterly shameful. It’s embarrassing.

He was picky with food, and Ci-zai had to eat his leftovers. He, he feels so immature.

“My bad. I didn’t know you wouldn’t like this. I’ll treat you to roast meat when you’re on holiday,” Cheng Zhaoci says without reservations or hesitation.

It’s not like Xiao Ji hasn’t stuffed him full of food he’s taken a bite out of on the landfill planet anyway, and vice versa. His reaction time would be too comically long if he finally felt embarrassment after all this time. He adds, “my editor took me to one that was amazing.”

“Th-, then go,” the cat has got Xiao Ji’s tongue, it seems, with how nervous he is. He probably doesn’t even know what he’s saying at this point.
