Mantis Love
墨書 Inktalez
My name is Xu Yue, and I am a female Mantis. Every ten years, I need to find a male to supplement my nutrition and bear offspring. To maintain my figure and find the best male, I have been on the lookout since I reached adulthood. So far, I have been in one hundred ninety-eight relationships.
It's not that they aren't handsome, smart, or wealthy enough. It's just that they are too good—good like a lotus flower, leaving me no opportunity to take advantage of them. Until a few days ago, when I met my eighteenth boyfriend. His name is Zheng Lingxin, a second-year student at the local medical school with excellent grades and a height of one hundred eighty-five centimeters. He is currently interning at a top-tier hospital.
We met on a dating website, and our meeting place was a sauna. He wore a tank top that showcased his broad shoulders and narrow waist, with well-developed biceps that indicated he worked out regularly. I was quite satisfied.
In the male-exclusive lounge, he confessed to me, "I have a feeling you are my one and only." I modestly brushed my hair back and replied, "I like you too, but you'd better make sure you're telling the truth."
"Otherwise, you'll know the consequences." He loosened his tie in front of me, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with clear implications. I cleared my throat lightly and said, "I'm in my safe period today; there's no need to rush."
He paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Alright, I'll wait for you." After that, we confirmed our relationship. Zheng Lingxin treats me very well; aside from work, he makes time to see me every week. During our dates, he never lets me pay. Sometimes when I try to pay, he has a reasonable rebuttal: "You earn less than I do; it should be my responsibility to pay."
"If others find out, they will definitely laugh at me."
I quite liked his face and his personality. The only flaw was that he seemed to be a genuinely good person. However, there are degrees of goodness. I wanted to see how long his kindness could last.
That evening, I had dinner with Zheng Lingxin and returned to the hotel. He had just stepped out of the bathroom when I lay down naked in his arms.
He visibly froze, his body tensing up instantly. "You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, I bit his lip and said, "Don't talk, kiss me."
His kiss was innocent yet enticing. I felt a tingling sensation all over as he kissed me. Though desire surged within him, the last shred of rationality made him pull away and cover me with the blanket.
I frowned in dissatisfaction. "Zheng Lingxin, you’re no good."
His gaze deepened, his voice husky. "Sorry, I just wanted to..."
"I know, you want a happy ending."
I got up and picked up the towel from the floor to wrap around my body. "But we’re not suitable for each other, so let's break up."
"Why?"
He grabbed my wrist. "Is it that I'm not good enough? If so, you can tell me; I can change."
I shook my head. "It's not that you're not good enough; it's that you're too good."
"We're four years apart, and you're not the person I'm looking for."
"My mom wouldn't approve of us being together."
I pried his hand away from my wrist. "Besides, you can't give me what I want."
He stared blankly for a moment. "What?"
"Nothing."
I leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Zheng Lingxin, goodbye."
Zheng Lingxin wanted to hold me back, but I had already put on my clothes and left.
Zheng Lingxin is a student at the medical school, destined to become a doctor after graduation.
His entire family are teachers; they come from an intellectual background.
As for me, I'm an orphan, with no parents and a criminal record.
Most importantly, in a year, I will be dead.
I can't drag him down with me.
I thought this would be the end for us.
But I underestimated Zheng Lingxin's persistence.
