A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Raphael stood at the door.

After waiting for a long time, the two insects walked over, embracing each other.

He looked down at the lemon peel in his hand, on which was carved a handsome face of a hookworm.

His eyes were long and sharp, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sly smile.

The red mole at the corner of his eye was dyed with his blood, vivid and striking.

"Raphael, are you deliberately standing outside in the cold wind, hoping to make your brother feel sorry for you?"

A clear, crisp voice rang in his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

Raphael looked up at the insect that was speaking.

A cold smile crept across his lips. "Heh, I wouldn't do something so pointless."

He tried to hide it, but his cheeks involuntarily flushed red, revealing an indescribable shyness.

His skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate like porcelain.

Her lips pursed slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

That lingering sorrow, like the morning mist, lingered between his brows and eyes, cool and melancholic.

In fact, Raphael did harbor masochistic tendencies.

Standing outside in the cold wind wasn't to make Shi Yu feel sorry for him; it was for another reason.

The insect he was thinking of might never know his feelings.

Chris and Raphael had known each other for many years and were both the type to disdain arguing.

Sensing the other person's resentful gaze, a feeling of hostility welled up involuntarily within me.

His cold gaze roamed over Raphael's face without any restraint.

He couldn't help but say sarcastically, "If females haven't found a suitable partner before the age of twenty-five, the system will forcibly match them with a partner."

If I remember correctly, you're only a year younger than me. Do you already have someone you could marry?

Raphael wanted nothing more than to strangle him when it came to the issue of marriage.

She remained outwardly cold and aloof, glancing at him with a slight lift of her eyelids.

He replied indifferently, "That's none of your business."

After saying that, Raphael calmly stuffed the lemon peel in his hand into his pocket.

Seemingly ignoring his words, she turned and walked into the house.

"Let's eat first, and we'll treat your madness later."

"Who are you calling insane?"

Chris narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of danger.

His intuition told him that Raphael was definitely up to something.

He thought he had disguised himself very well, but in his eyes, it was full of loopholes.

Just now, Raphael was holding half a lemon peel and grinning like an idiot. This is clearly the behavior of someone in love.

Chris couldn't help but feel suspicious and turned to look at the powerful man beside him.

He asked directly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Shi Yu's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He quickly denied it, "No...no, you said you would believe me."

The powerful man's eyes darted away; this was a subtle, unconscious gesture he made when lying.

Chris's eyes reflected a purple glint, but he didn't expose the clumsy lie.

At this moment, his heart was filled with contradictions.

On the one hand, he could not accept sharing a male lord with an insect; on the other hand, he did not want to see Raphael marry a violent male insect.

"Honey, it's windy outside, let's go inside quickly!"

Shi Yu straightened his back.

She allowed Chris to look her up and down without flinching, as if she had no secrets to hide.

As she spoke, she gently nudged Chris, gesturing for him to hurry inside.

As Raphael emerged from above carrying a plate of food, Shi Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

She secretly resolved to find Raphael a suitable partner as soon as possible.

Not only must the insect be handsome, but it must also come from a good family, be tall and have long legs, and most importantly, be devoted to Raphael.

As he silently pondered these conditions, the image of Rosso appeared in his mind.

Putting aside his identity as a member of the witch clan, Rosso's physical appearance was quite impressive.

Her appearance was comparable to Raphael's, and she was quite considerate towards him...

Thinking of this, Shi Yu shook his head violently.

The Zerg and the Witch are mortal enemies, irreconcilable foes.

He heard it with his own ears: Raphael was going to gouge out Rosso alive with his own hands.

Shi Yu sighed softly. This concerned Raphael's lifelong happiness and required careful consideration.

He still has a year to go; he should be able to find a male insect that suits his taste.

After lunch.

Shi Yu sat leisurely on the sofa.

With fingers swiping freely across the computer screen, one can browse various news articles online.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The news headlines on the trending topics list were exceptionally eye-catching.

#Breaking News! The Light of the Empire Becomes a Prisoner#

#Former General Chris was brutal and inhumane, torturing and murdering a lame sub-female while incarcerated#

#Shi Yuxiong travels to Amethyst Star to dote on his female lord#

#……#

Shi Yu frowned and immediately clicked on the title, wanting to find out more.

A high-resolution image of a blood-written letter popped up on the screen, the handwriting shocking.

His breathing became rapid as he quickly swiped the screen, followed by several bloody and mangled photos.

These photos were clearly taken in a darkroom, and the scenes depicted are extremely cruel and bloody.

That face was Kada Wuning's; Shi Yu's face was pale and bloodless.

My heart is filled with self-blame and regret.

He wouldn't have been tortured to death if Qatar hadn't been driven away.

"Qada is gone, it's all my fault..."

Upon hearing the male ruler's words, Chris turned his head and stared at the screen.

The entire article is full of accusations and insults against him.

Every word revealed resentment and disgust towards him. Every word seemed to drip blood.

They accused him of being cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel, and cruel, and of torturing and killing innocent females.

Chris's face gradually darkened, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

After a long silence, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He said in a deep voice, "My lord, he delivered himself to Eugene's doorstep and was brutally murdered. It has nothing to do with you."

His words carried an unshakeable firmness.

No matter how much criticism and slander he receives from the outside world, he firmly believes that he has done nothing wrong.

"Honey, I didn't mean anything by it..."

Shi Yu opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Chris.

"I know you can't bear to see him get involved in this conflict."

I know Eugene; he's arrogant and conceited. He wouldn't have bothered with some insignificant bug if Qatar hadn't come to him.

"Would his fate have been better if I had just given him some money instead of taking him to a hotel?"

"No, without your help, he would have starved to death by the roadside long ago."

Chris shook his head slightly. "This is a place that eats insects. If you hadn't come along, I would have been a pile of bones long ago."

Shi Yu gasped for breath.

Reaching out, she gently nudged Chris's shoulder and pulled him into her arms.

He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply the fresh lemon scent.

"Honey, don't worry, I'll go live right now and clarify online that you were framed by the bug."

"No need, they won't believe it."

Chris remained calm, as if he were already used to it.

Having a powerful ruler to protect you is enough.
