Nalun spent a large portion of the morning contemplating his relationship with Sirius. Although the beginning wasn’t satisfactory, he already discovered: He didn’t actually dislike Sirius’s touch.
If Sirius had flirted with him but refused to give up on Duo Ni, Nalun was certain he would have distanced himself far far away from Sirius. In addition, he also would have never allowed the other to come any closer for the rest of his life.
In terms of feelings, men from the Charvey family were never half-hearted. It would be impossible for him to tolerate an unfaithful person as his partner.
Since Sirius didn’t peddle two boats… and also, Sirius’s well-behaved behavior in front of him really wasn’t bad.
Nalun decided…… to give it a try.
En. It’s only giving it a try.
He emphasized internally.
Sirius very quickly selected the meal and dragged Nalun off, wanting to show him around the villa. The two stories villa of a bachelor, what’s there to look at?
The Honored Prince remained patient as he was dragged off to the bedroom on the 2nd floor.
“Is it alright?” Every time they entered a room, Sirius asked this question.
It’s not like he was an interior designer. Why ask this?
Nalun could only express appropriately: not bad, pretty good, and looks very comfortable.
Then Sirius would reveal a happy and bright smile.
This was really very strange.
With sharp eyes, Nalun suddenly discovered a familiar jacket placed on the pillow. After a moment, he realized that it was the clothes that Sirius switched into at his house after the insect attack on Xier street.
— It was his.
Back then, when he lent the clothes out, he already didn’t plan for the other to return it. Seeing his clothes laying so frankly and out in the open on Sirius’s pillow right now, he started to feel conflicted.
Sirius didn’t actually notice anything wrong.
Nalun also didn’t mention it specifically. He didn’t know how other people’s date went? Those things on the intergalactic net didn’t count. There were always plenty of disparities between the net and real life. However, his original plan didn’t include touring Sirius’s house.
There weren’t many rooms on the 2nd floor of Sirius’s house. Other than the main bedroom and office, there was also a huge exercise room.
The owner of the room pressed a button. The pure white ceiling started to move apart, revealing the bright, sunny weather and blue skies outside. The sunlight spilled down, shining a golden glow over the inside of the room.
Nalun: “……”
In the end, Sirius gave a complete tour of his good, old lair. He led the way in the front, looking very much like a lion flaunting his territory.
After the two people came down the stairs, the doorbell rang aptly.
“That should be lunch.” Sirius guessed, saying: “I’ll be back very quickly.”

The delivery robot was already waiting outside. After Sirius entered the code assigned to retrieve the meal, the robot blinked its eyes. The next second, its ‘stomach’ opened, sending out a delicately wrapped food container.

If you must know, some retired women naturally had a fervent and thirsty heart for good gossip.
Especially if the person had good circumstances and was a bachelor of the marriageable age.
However, no one would visit specifically just for this. Good upbringing taught them to control themselves. Therefore, Madam Vinda would only mention a few words during accidental meetings.
However, right now……
“A couple’s meal?” The gray haired madam verified that she didn’t hear wrong.
Perhaps this young lad had a huge appetite, so he simply ordered a meal for two?
But her doubt was dispelled very quickly. Because she saw a pure black sports car parked in front of the gates of the Monte family.
As a car enthusiast, Nalun Charvey’s car naturally wasn’t terrible either. Even though it couldn’t compare to Nishar family’s limited edition, it wasn’t lacking at all.
The sharp eyed Madam Vinda swiftly deduced the approximate circumstances of the car’s owner– a man with a pretty good background.
That’s right. A man.
Regardless of this car’s external appearance, color, or the decorations that could be seen through the front windows, nothing looked feminine at all. In addition, ever since this lad conducted a housewarming party three years ago after moving in, she very rarely saw Sirius invite any other people over as guests.
Madam Vinda felt like it was quite necessary to communicate to her girlfriends briefly about the news that their neighbor, Mr.Monte, probably has found someone.
Meanwhile, inside the house, the two people had already started to ‘happily’ enjoy the meal.
Seeing the suspicious food container that was decorated in pink, Nalun shifted his gaze. He didn’t ask why two big men like them needed to eat this kind of butterfly wrapped takeout.
“This shop’s food tastes very good.” Sirius opened the food container and then discovered that the inside was even more ridiculous. He explained somewhat: “Perhaps today we bumped into some kind of special event. Normally, they’re all very…… normal.”
Although he usually ordered individualized business meals, and this time had switched to the couple’s meal, this kind of decorative style was really a bit too excessive!
Nalun had already recovered his calm. Hearing those words, he picked up the utensils and stabbed right through the heart-shaped steak. The sharp knife and fork picked up a piece. He brought it to his mouth to have a taste and then expressed with a nod: “Not bad.”
Sirius: “……”
The two voracious young men sat facing each other, eating in rather proper and serious postures.
Half a minute later, Sirius suddenly pushed his food plate forward.
The Honored Prince, who was engrossed in chewing green leaves, raised his head and looked towards Sirius in question.
Sirius stood up and got out of the seat on the other side. He moved around to a certain person’s right side, sat down, and even gave a rather composed smile while squeezing the back of the other’s neck along the way.
Nalun: “……” Almost dropping the green leaves back into his plate in surprise, the Honored Prince instantly became extremely speechless.
The instigator of this entire thing, however, looked immeasurable pleased, without any awareness at all.
“I wanted to be a bit closer to you.”
How come he never noticed before? No matter how powerful Sirius Monte was, it’s impossible to deny that in terms of love, he was undoubtedly, 100%, an idiot.
Fortunately, the object of his affections was in the same situation. Other than silently rolling his eyes internally, he didn’t do anything either.
After the meal finished, Sirius’s personal comp sounded.
Sweeping an eye over the screen, he handed the personal comp over to Nalun with a frown.
Nalun: “???”
Sirius: “Just say I’m not here.”
Nalun: “……” No, I’m not answering.
Sirius reluctantly answered: “I requested for a vacation. I won’t talk about anything until my vacation ends.”
The other side seemed to have said a long string of words. The entire time, Sirius’s face was cold and indifferent. After a long time, he said: “I’m on a date.”
“Pa–” He threw the personal comp far far away.
Nalun: “……”
Sirius mentioned briefly about the refugee issue: “Aerta Galaxy has a type of humans with insect-like outer characteristics. Immediately after they entered the borders, they were beaten up by a group of youths.”
Nalun: “…… that really does sound rather unfortunate.”
Sirius nodded his head: “Diya already made an informative booklet to differentiate between Aerta’s mixed insect-humans and the Insectoids. He’s also been negotiating with the victims.”
Nalun: “Looks like the negotiations didn’t go very well.”
“He told the other party about the Insectoids and also showed an image to prove that this was a misunderstanding. However, when the other party saw the image, they became even more infuriated. Because…… Insectoids are too ugly. They felt like being mistaken as that kind of creature is a type of humiliation.”
Nalun: “Sensitive group?”
Sirius agreed very much.
Nalun: “Since they left their home and came seeking asylum in Asha, they should humble themselves a bit. If they want to use this as an opportunity to cause trouble and make a vain attempt to ask for things they shouldn’t be requesting, we have the right to ask them to leave.”
Although outwardly, they seemed obstinate and unreasonable, and even engaged in a few small-scaled fights; in reality, they’ve always been the weaker side. If Asha’s approach became tough and unyielding, they’d have no choice but to enter a passive state.
Sirius: “En. But why don’t we discuss where we should go this afternoon instead?” The Admiral, who wasn’t really worried about this issue, decisively abandoned the boring work topic.
Nalun’s thoughts also came to a stop.
Alright. The date.
After finishing lunch, Nalun tactfully expressed he wanted to take a look in the back.
Without saying anything, Sirius guided him directly to the garage.
“Baobei~ Pick on!”
“…….”
There weren’t actually a lot of cars parked in the garage. However, each car was special and unique, with a clear distinct style. To a car enthusiast, this was practically a heavenly paradise. Grayish green eyes flashing with a bright light, Nalun instantly looked at Sirius completely differently.
On the streets of the Linton district, two suspicious men drove a bright red convertible and left the house with a whoosh–.
The entire afternoon to follow, Nalun personally experienced the benefits of dating the son of a vehicle tycoon.
As the two people embarked on a journey for their date, a dreadful thing occurred simultaneously at the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor Luye paced back and forth, black clouds shrouding his face completely.
“It’s already been an entire day. Still can’t find it?”
The servants trembled in fear and trepidation, not daring to speak.
He rubbed his temple in exhaustion and dispiritedly sat down in a chair.
This morning, he had fed Xi Jin a special blend of metal-tasting medicine. After making sure that today the Metal Devouring Bug was also very cute and obedient, the Emperor kissed the other’s head and happily went out to do proper business.
However, when he returned, the round bellied beetle, who’d usually wait inside the food plate, had disappeared.
The Emperor upturned the bottom of the bed, the wardrobe, and any place that could hide the insect. He even took off the metal lighting fixtures on the ceiling for a close examination, but he still didn’t find his beloved fat bug.
He gradually realized the seriousness of the issue.
Where did Xi Jin go?
“Your majesty……” Someone gathered his courage and suggested a certain possibility: “The doctor said…… the young master might be recovering around this few days.”
He didn’t say it too frankly, after all, the Emperor had issued a clear ban on the mentioning of Xi Jin’s existence.
“Is it possible that after that young master recovered, he had trouble adjusting so he left for a few days, bringing the bug with him?”
–That youth, who was in charge of raising the bug, had disappeared.
The servants had originally thought, with how the Emperor had carefully brought the youth to live in his own resting palace, like cherishing a treasure, and then given the youth all sorts of care, that he valued the youth very much.
However, after young master Xi Jin disappeared, His Majesty didn’t even search for him. On the contrary, he started searching for the bug that he raised…… and here they had thought their 30 years old, unmarried Asha ruler, was finally about to welcome the first romance of his life. Yet this youth, who was suspected of being the future ‘Empress’, didn’t even compare to an ugly fat bug in the Emperor’s eyes.
The thoughts of an Emperor were truly unfathomable.
Pffft hahaha, don’t worry guys, the Emperor might be ushering his romance era alright, but the premise is you gotta find the bug first so you can find the amnesiac young gentleman and let the sparks fly HAHAHAHA
Also ngl, these two remind me of the novel The Disable Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish, only on crack and with insectoids instead of koi fish (and a system).
Thanks for the translation!! Love it so much hehehe
