StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 76 Candlelight Dinner

Shen Qingqing, fast asleep, was unaware that things were about to get noisy outside because of her, and was still hugging her pillow with her eyes tightly closed.

In the nightmare, a graceful female was saying something to her.

"What are you saying? Why can't I hear you?"

Shen Qingqing tried her best to see who the person in front of her was.

Even with her eyes wide open, she still couldn't see her face clearly.

Some people can make people imagine their stunning beauty just by looking at their back.

The beautiful woman's lips curled into a smile as she reached out her hand, her pink lips opening and closing as if she were saying something.

As if guided by some unseen force, Shen Qingqing stepped forward and took her hand.

The female froze, seemingly not expecting the woman to suddenly step forward and touch her.

Then, as if startled, she shrank back and looked down at her hands.

Then, as if he understood something, the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing an extremely sarcastic smile.

Although she couldn't see the female's face clearly, Shen Qingqing could still sense her emotions at that moment.

My mind was filled with mocking, resentful, angry, and regretful emotions.

"Is something bothering you?" Shen Qingqing asked again. "If you can't speak, you can write it down."

He extended his palm and said, "You should know the Zerg language, right? Although I don't know who you are, there's something about you that makes me feel very comfortable."

He repeated, "If it's inconvenient, just write it down."

The female hesitated for a moment, then finally made up her mind and wrote a few words in her palm.

The icy touch sent shivers through Shen Qingqing's palm.

This is not the normal temperature for Zerg.

The female lowered her head and wrote in her palm; the upper half of her face was still obscured by a white haze.

However, her long pink hair swayed without wind, occasionally wrapping around her fingertips and stirring between her slender fingers as she bowed her head.

Itchy.

Although her face was obscured and her expression unreadable, the slow, firm touch in her palm suggested that she was extremely focused when writing.

Shen Qingqing smiled, and the pink-haired owner looked up in confusion, staring at her with that white 'face'.

"I just think you're so earnest and cute."

Shen Qingqing expressed her feelings.

The female tilted her head, hearing for the first time that someone compliment her cuteness instead of praising her ruthless methods.

Write 'thank you' in her palm.

The few words were written firmly and slowly in the palm of his hand.

"You want to tell me 'Beware of Gatana,' right?"

She nodded, put a finger to her lips, and made a shushing gesture.

It seemed that communicating with Shen Qingqing had exhausted all her strength. The female figure grew fainter and fainter, and the light on her body gradually dimmed until she disappeared into nothingness.

Shen Qingqing woke up after the strange female disappeared.

Rubbing my blurry eyes, I could only sense that there was some hustle and bustle outside the window.

Is someone coming?

Suddenly remembering something, Shen Qingqing sat up abruptly and hurriedly straightened her clothes.

Gatana mentioned that members of the council of elders would be coming that afternoon; how could she have forgotten that!

She hurriedly put on her slippers and ran downstairs.

They bumped right into Desker as he pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing the little female come downstairs, Desk didn't think much of it and greeted her directly.

"Long time no see, little female~"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shen Qingqing lifted her skirt and brushed past him.

Deske continued upstairs, wanting to see what the 'insect queen' Andorra had mentioned looked like.

Actually, he was just about to slip away when his dad grabbed him by the collar and threw him in.

Amidst envious glances from onlookers, Desk entered the palace 'openly and legitimately'.

"By the way, where are you rushing off to?"

Halfway there, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't had a chance to ask the little female where she was going.

"If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing froze, almost collapsing to the ground. "Really? Can I hitch a ride?"

“Of course, my dear lady,” Deske said gently, “I, Deske, will accompany you wherever you wish to go.”

The crowd waiting outside to see the Queen of Insects had no idea that the Queen they longed for had already been tricked away by Desker.

Standing by the window on the top floor, Shen Qingqing was greatly shocked as she watched the flying machine approaching.

She knew he was the second son of the Grand Elder and had thought the Elder Council was very wealthy, but she never imagined he would be so extravagant.

They sent an entire small fleet to pick them up!

The commotion was quite large, attracting the attention of the insects below.

But after seeing that arrogant long purple hair, he looked away.

The insects: Oh, it's that kid. There's nothing to see here.

Desk, known throughout the galaxy for his arrogance and domineering nature, is the biological son of the Grand Elder, who is accustomed to being low-key in his personal life but high-profile in his work.

As a rising star in the royal family, Desk is known for his unconventional and unruly ways.

And so, this rising star has already snagged the Queen of Insects and is preparing for a romantic trip to Kyoto.

A row of flashy purple aircraft gave him quite a show.

"Miss, please come this way."

The gentleman elegantly opened the hatch, and Desker's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat that had stolen some fish waiting for its owner to return.

“Miss, you haven’t told me your name yet,” Desk said, piloting the aircraft.

"My name is Shen Qingqing."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Your name is also Shen Qingqing!"

"What, do you have a relative with the same name as me?"

Shen Qingqing didn't think much of it, assuming that since he had many relatives, it was normal to have the same name.

“Uh, no,” Desk said, taking a moment to speak as he piloted his aircraft to dodge the suddenly appearing interceptor, “You have the same name as the Queen of Insects, what a coincidence.”

"..."

Sometimes, when people are speechless, they really do want to laugh.

Hearing laughter beside him, Desk turned around and looked at Shen Qingqing, who was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. "What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's nothing."

Still relieved that he hadn't discovered her identity, Shen Qingqing didn't reveal it herself.

The aircraft may look small, but its interior space is actually quite spacious.

The flashy purple exterior also features a dark-toned, glamorous decorative style.

On the table was an exquisite vase filled with roses, with several sheets of gold-embossed letter paper casually piled on top, indicating that although the owner of this place appeared frivolous and unserious, he still cared about serious matters.

Desk led Shen Qingqing to the table and thoughtfully served her a plate of dessert and red wine.

The decanted red wine exudes an enticing aroma, carrying a hint of fresh dew after the rain, as it is poured into a stemmed glass.

Desk usually stays alone on the aircraft, so the daily necessities inside are quite complete.

He set out the cutlery for her and pulled out a chair for her to sit down.

The gentleman opposite him pinned a rose to his chest.

Delicate rose petals were scattered on a white lace tablecloth, and the glowing candlelight added a touch of mystery.

In the dimly lit cabin, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were alone together.

This is... a candlelight dinner?

Is it a bit early to have dinner in the afternoon?
