StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 208 The Gaze from a Single Dog

When Koster arrived, this was what he saw:

His younger brother sat on the ground, supporting himself with one hand to keep from falling, while covering his nose with the other, staring incredulously at the two pampered young ladies.

There were still traces of blood seeping through his fingers, and coupled with Katherine's shocked expression, Koster thought he had been attacked. Before his colleagues could react, he rushed forward and pulled him out.

"What's going on, Katherine?"

Faced with his older brother's question, Katherine stammered and couldn't give a clear answer.

He just kept covering his nose, then shook his head, then nodded, his eyes wide as if he were under attack.

It took him a long time to stammer out, "So, so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful and charming lady! Brother, I think I'm in love..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Koster quickly withdrew his hand from Katherine's, his tone cold and disdainful, "Love? Do you deserve it?"

"Brother, how can your mouth, which is supposed to be 38 degrees Celsius, utter such icy words?"

Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan, who were watching the scene unfold, exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Katherine had suddenly become so strange.

"What's wrong with Qingqing?"

"Maybe he was captivated by your charming figure," Shen Qingqing said tentatively.

Quickly wiping the blood off his face, Katherine grinned and leaned over, shamelessly standing between Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan, seemingly without any sense that there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

Instead, she happily stepped between the two, smiling as she said, "You two can ask me for anything you need. Katherine is actually very easy to talk to."

After witnessing firsthand how Katherine prioritized romance over friendship, his colleagues all wore expressions of disdain.

"Look, look, look, Katherine is showing his true colors again."

"Exactly, I can't help but stop when I see a beautiful woman."

"Damn it, was this guy a dog in his past life?!"

"...I used rather vulgar language, so I won't say it. Thank you for being my mouth-spoof."

They went on and on, and in the eyes of their colleagues, Katherine had become a heartless scoundrel who valued women over friends, was greedy for personal gain, and had no humanity whatsoever.

When the two young ladies arrived, the colleagues and the team leader finally closed their gaping mouths and wiped the drool from their lips.

“Oh, you know, I rarely take Katherine’s side.”

"What incredible luck Katherine has! She actually managed to meet such a beautiful woman."

"Beautiful girls, I'd like to get to know them both."

Colleagues: Please post this! ??'?'??

Upon seeing that Ge Yuan and the others had finally arrived, Koster shifted his gaze from Katherine to "Mr. Yuan," who was dressed in a black Lolita dress and was at the head of the group.

“Mr. Yuan has kept me waiting for quite a while,” Koster said with great emotion, emphasizing the word “Mr.” “So Mr. Yuan has this kind of quirk.”

Ge Yuan took a long stride and walked up to Koster, who was more than two heads taller than her. She smiled suddenly and said, "Would you believe me if I said I'm actually a cross-dresser?"

"What do you think, Mr. Yuan?"

“I think you’ll believe it.” Ge Yuan shrugged, completely unconcerned about the stares from the other people in the stands.

He pulled Shen Qingqing over and put his arm around her shoulder.

"You haven't been waiting too long, have you? It's only just past noon. We just happened to arrive right on time."

Ge Yuan smoothed her long pink waves, looking nonchalant. "Besides, you won't be short a minute or two, will you? Please remember that you should never make a lady wait for you."

Katherine, who had finally stood up, ran to Shen Qingqing's side and sniffed her deeply. "Miss Qingqing, what perfume are you wearing? It smells so good!"

Hearing him say that, Shen Qingqing thought that her pheromones had been exposed, but then she thought that apart from the insect race, no other race could smell her scent, so she made up a reason and said, "It's probably because I sprayed perfume this morning. It's rose-scented."

Seeing their boss and colleagues each accompanied by a young lady, the colleagues in the stands suddenly felt that their Coke, popcorn, and chicken nuggets didn't taste so good anymore.

"Captain," a paparazzi member shouted, "Why is it that even that clueless guy Katherine has such a good rapport with women, while we handsome men with both looks and emotional intelligence are unwanted?"

"Please provide a reasonable explanation, or I will kick you out of the paparazzi team on behalf of all members of the Federation's No. 1 Paparazzi Team!"

"Hmm?" The captain narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at the member who questioned him seriously.

"What do you mean by that? You're blaming me for not having a girlfriend? The dating market is so tight right now, do you know what a wife means to us? Hmm? Having a girlfriend in the Federation is a blessing from heaven! Ask yourselves honestly, can you guarantee that you can video call your girlfriends while fighting on a mission?"

Upon hearing this, the paparazzi members, a group of perpetual bachelors, shook their heads and whispered among themselves, "That won't do. If the superiors find out, they'll dock our pay. My hard-earned savings for a wife..."

The captain smiled knowingly, a smug grin spreading across his face. "Since none of you can do it, forget about wives. As for girlfriends... Hmph! Don't you even bother to buy a mirror and see what kind of dogs you are? You all stammer and can't say a word when you see a girl's face, hehe..."

Just as he was teaching his team how to flirt with girls and giving each member a scathing critique, Shen Qingqing's voice suddenly came through, "Um... could you be our scorekeeper?"

The captain's face turned red instantly.

Her red cheeks, like a monkey's bottom, were full of embarrassment.

Without a second thought, he nodded frantically at Shen Qingqing's request.

One second he was confidently declaring that he was always in control when it came to the opposite sex, and the next second he shyly agreed to the other person's request without even thinking.

The paparazzi stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the once staunch advocate of singlehood had suddenly become a submissive admirer of the opposite sex.

What a disgrace!

But while the team members felt angry, they also felt a longing for their captain to be approached by a woman.

"Thank you!" Shen Qingqing said to him with a smile.

The captain's neck and the area behind her ears were all red. It wasn't until her teammates surrounded her with ill intentions that she belatedly realized why she had surrendered so easily in front of her.

To quell public anger, the captain raised three fingers to the sky and swore, "Don't worry, I was just caught off guard and fooled just now. This time it definitely won't happen again..."

"Huh? What are you still doing here?" Shen Qingqing looked up from below the stands and smiled sweetly at him, "I bought you some water, do you want some?"

"Hmm? Captain..." The paparazzi surrounded him.

"You'd better explain what's going on here."

The captain reacted quickly, withdrawing three fingers and a person.

He left behind only one sentence, keeping all the single people company.

"I'm going to help with the scoring now, so just pretend I didn't say anything!"
