A Thousand Ways for a Fragile Male Insect to Train an S-Class Sentinel[MTL]

Chapter 18 Mental Strength Level Test

No matter how reluctant Qi Zhexue was to separate from Xu Tingzhi, Xu Tingzhi's plan to go to the Moran asteroid was still put on the agenda.

　　Qi Zhexue made a fuss and cried, but Xu Tingzhi was still as loyal as a man could be. The only concession she made was to allow Qi Zhexue to go to bed with her on the days before she left, and to read her a bedtime story.

　　After sleeping for several days, Qi Zhexue's mood finally stabilized. He finally stopped talking about leaving with his brother. He just became more and more clingy. Even when Xu Tingzhi was cooking, she would hug his back like a koala, with her legs wrapped around Xu Tingzhi's waist, and whisper something in his ear.

　　Xu Tingzhi didn't understand what he said, nor did he care. He just guessed that judging from the pronunciation and intonation, Qi Zhexue should be speaking insect language.

　　Xu Tingzhi didn't know that Qi Zhexue was saying a prayer similar to the one said on the Insect Star, which meant that he hoped the people who left would return safely without any pain or disaster.

　　The day of separation soon arrived.

　　Chu Lian helped Xu Tingzhi pack her luggage and the documents she needed for landing. Qi Zhexue and Chu Lian came to the huge aircraft. Qi Zhexue looked at Xu Tingzhi with tears in her eyes, choking and wiping her red eyes with her hands. She looked like a pitiful red-eyed rabbit:

　　"When will my brother come back?"

　　"I will definitely come back before your final exam."

　　The opening time of the Pagoda and White Pagoda is set in spring. As the school term approaches, everything comes back to life and the air warms up. Xu Tingzhi only wears a blue shirt jacket with a white T-shirt inside. He looks refreshing and unrestrained, just like a poplar in winter:

　　"Good boy, you have to stay at Brother Chu's house and listen to him. Do you understand?"

"......Got it." Qi Zhexue sniffed, and leaned over to Xu Tingzhi for a farewell hug. Her soft hair rubbed against Xu Tingzhi's neck, and she whispered:

　　"Brother, remember to think of me too."

　　"........Yes, I will." Xu Tingzhi sighed, and finally couldn't help it, raised his hand and touched Qi Zhexue's hair:

　　"Wait until I come back."

　　"......Yeah!" Qi Zhexue nodded vigorously, with such force that her hair flew up.

　　"........Alright, you guys, it's just a business trip, it's not like you won't be back, why are you making it like a life-and-death separation?"

　　The sad atmosphere of parting was ruthlessly broken by Xu Niao.

　　He held his forehead, as if trying to block the curious eyes of the passengers coming from all directions, and said weakly:

　　"You guys are acting in a TV series."

　　Xu Tingzhi: "........."

　　Qi Zhexue: "........."

　　He paused, a little curious: "What is a TV series?"

　　".......Uh." Xu Niao was pushed by the angry Xu Tingzhi, and his fingertips pressed against his lips. Like a weird uncle who kidnapped children, he opened his arms and said with a bewitching smile on his face:

　　"Xiaoxue, give me a hug. I'll take you to watch TV when I get home, okay?"

　　Qi Zhexue: "...Brother, your smile is so disgusting."
