Your scumbag application has been returned

As soon as Shen Jihuai got up today, he felt that the temperature outside had dropped. Unlike yesterday when the sun was warm, there was a cold wind blowing. Apumian just poked his head out and immediately retracted it, putting on the coat that Shen Jihuai handed over and covering himself with it: "How come the temperature dropped so much overnight?"

He had sworn that he was not cold, but now he was slapped in the face. After putting on his coat, he finally felt much better. He tried hard not to feel the faint scent of Shen Jihuai. As long as he couldn't smell it, it didn't exist.

Shen Jihuai put on the hood of his sweatshirt, tidied up his hair, tried to cover the gauze as much as possible, and explained casually: "The newspaper said that it started snowing in the north yesterday. It's October now, and it's normal for the temperature to drop. It should be winter here soon. Should we stock up on food for the winter?"

Apmian thought about it and began to look forward to the first snow. However, what about stockpiling food? "No need to go through so much trouble. Triss has vegetables available all year round and the price is not high. As for meat, it goes without saying. We can go to town and buy more. At worst, we can drink nutritional supplements. After all, nutritional supplements are convenient and not expensive."

Shen Jihuai, who didn't really want to drink the nutritional supplement, said: "..."

The nutritional supplement is really hard to drink. It would be okay if it had a fruit flavor, but it has no taste at all. Shen Jihuai almost vomited after drinking it yesterday. He doesn't want to drink this for the entire winter.

"I will be responsible for cooking from now on. The nutritional supplements don't taste good." Shen Jihuai worked hard and took charge of the kitchen chores.

Apmian was about to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but when he thought about how Creek, who was just standing next to him and watching him cook yesterday, was almost poisoned, he swallowed the words silently.

What qualifications did he have to say that Shen Jihuai was not a problem and that asking him to cook was really a big hassle.

Shen Jihuai put on a hooded sweatshirt, which was one of the few clothes with a hood in Apumian's wardrobe. Putting it on just covered his neck and gauze. After all, no insect would be so presumptuous as to pull at someone's clothes, so that they would not discover that he was a disguised male insect.

After a night of consideration, Shen Jihuai decided to pretend to be a female insect outside. Now that the weather is cold, he can wear high-necked clothes to cover his neck, or just get a tattoo to pretend to be an insect. Otherwise, male insects have too good welfare in this world. Basically, as soon as they go out, they will attract everyone's attention. It feels like being a popular idol, which makes it inconvenient for him to follow Apmian.

The most important thing for him is to be able to follow Apmian every day. His identity as a male insect will only make him be treated as a circus monkey.

As luck would have it, the two met Creek as soon as they went out. Apmian kept saying in his heart that he didn't see them, but Creek saw them and walked towards them.

Creek came over and greeted him familiarly: "Good morning, Apumian. Why didn't I see you planting flowers in the yard today? You went out so early. Who is this? I haven't seen you before."

Creek looked at Shen Jihuai curiously. This was the first time he saw Apumian standing with a strange insect. The color of his hair was also quite rare. He dared to guarantee that this was the first time in his life that he saw an insect with black hair, and he inexplicably thought it looked very beautiful.

Apumian heaved a sigh of relief and introduced reluctantly, "This is my distant cousin. His father and mother asked him to come to me, saying that they had to go out for a while and asked me to take care of him for a few days. He only arrived at midnight yesterday, so it's normal that you haven't seen him."

Creek was already considered one of the village's intelligence agents and had a lot of "secrets" in his hands. Before he went out, he prayed specifically not to run into Creek. As long as Creek didn't know about Shen Jihuai's existence, the other insects in the village wouldn't know about Shen Jihuai's existence. But as luck would have it, they went out together and it was hard not to run into each other.

Ever since Apmian started to grow flowers like a Buddhist, his sleep and rest schedule has been very unstable. He usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally, but Creek needs to go to the Intelligence Bureau for contact, so he has to get up relatively early.

Well, soon the whole village will know that a distant cousin with black hair has come to his house. Maybe some of them want to come and see Shen Jihuai just to try something new. I hope they won’t dare to come because of his usual bad manners.

Shen Jihuai stood behind Apumian and said, "Good morning to you too. My name is Shen Jihuai, and I am his distant cousin. I just came of age this year."

Shen Jihuai deliberately hit the words "distant cousin". He really didn't know why Apumian wanted to give him the identity of a relative. He felt that it would be more exciting to be together with them in the future. It felt like a taboo.

(Apumian: No, you think too much. I didn’t think that much at the time.)

Apumian suddenly turned around and glanced at Shen Jihuai, saying with his eyes that Shen Jihuai was talking nonsense. Creek was not blind. Shen Jihuai said that he had just reached adulthood, but he looked too mature. Who would believe it?

Shen Jihuai looked back at him innocently. He looked so young. He was only 23 years old this year. Didn't he look like he had just reached adulthood?

Anyway, Creek believed it: "It just became an adult this year. Is it a female? It looks really beautiful."

Shen Jihuai accepted Creek's compliment with a clear conscience: "Thank you, you are also very good-looking, I guess you are very popular with male insects."

When it comes to this, Creek's face turns pale. "Oh, I'm lucky I didn't scare the male insects away. They don't like my appearance at all. Besides, the male insects introduced to me by the Insect Dating Association are all ugly. Some are so ugly that I doubt their birth, or their insects are of poor quality. I'd rather be single all my life than marry those male insects."

Zerg like beautiful things, no matter they are male or female, so ugly insects really have no market, even if the opponent is a noble male insect. It won't work if the lights are turned off because they can see at night.

Shen Jihuai felt very sympathetic when he heard this: "That's really not a good thing. I hope the Insect Dating Association can introduce you to a better male insect next time. After all, you are so beautiful, so you are naturally worthy of him."

It seemed as if Crick had found a soulmate. Although Apmian was a man of few words, his distant cousin was very talkative and said only things that he liked to hear.

Seeing that their conversation was getting more and more heated, Apumian quickly took Shen Jihuai's hand and left: "I'm so sorry, Creek, we have things to do, so we won't chat with you for now to avoid wasting time. We can talk about it when we have time." It would be best if they never said it.

Creek was still a little reluctant, but he had to give up: "Okay then, be careful on the road."

Shen Jihuai said goodbye to Creek with a smile: "See you later, Creek."

When they reached the place where the aircraft was parked, Apumian finally had time to ask Shen Jihuai: "Why do you talk so much with Creek? Or do you talk a lot with female insects? You are so easy to get along with, right? Don't forget, you are a male insect, don't get so close to female insects."

Shen Jihuai raised his eyebrows, glanced down at Apumian's hand holding his, and looked at him meaningfully when he looked up.

Apumian quickly let go and said with a wandering look, "I am not another female insect. You can come close to me."

Shen Jihuai obediently said "Oh", which means they can keep getting closer, so don't blame him for getting too close.

He chatted with Creek just because he was grateful to Creek. In the previous life, during the snowy winter, it was Creek who was worried about Apmian and came to check on him. He found Apmian's body already cold, and it was Creek who collected the body for Apmian.
