Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

As if responding to his words, the egg cracked open, revealing a small opening from which a piece of shell fell out.

A tiny paw emerged from the hole.

As another claw slowly emerged from the crack.

The sound of the eggshell cracking became more and more frequent, and more and more fragments fell.

puff--

A long, loud fart came from inside the eggshell.

I don't know who laughed first, but then one by one they all started laughing.

The egg, which had been shaking violently, stopped moving because of the laughter.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The upper half of the eggshell trembled and fell to the ground, revealing the larvae inside.

A tiny female insect larva, shyly burying its face in its claws.

Fei smiled silently, and the coldness on his body vanished without a trace.

He wanted to take the egg out of the shell, but both his hands were held back. He looked to Jiang Xu for help.

Upon receiving the request for help, Jiang Xu quickly took out the insect cub.

The little insect, which had hidden itself, felt itself being picked up by a pair of warm hands.

He paused for a moment, then quietly moved his paw away, revealing a crack.

An unfamiliar face appeared before him. Although it was the first time he had seen it, he knew it was his father.

"Ah!" Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Xu with surprise, no longer covering his eyes with his little paws, but instead tightly hugging his father's wrist.

The little face rubbed against it gently, saying sweetly, "Ya~ ya~ ya~".

Jiang Xu was surprised to find that the little insect had a pair of tiny wings on its back, and even the hands holding it had webbed feet.

It really is an insect.

Jiang Yi's still slightly damp wings slowly unfolded, and he shook them.

Only after pleasing the male father can one prepare to look for the shadow of the female father.

He sniffed the air with his little nose, smelled a familiar scent, and looked up in Fei's direction: "Ah~"

It happily spread its wings, flapped them twice, and then took flight, wobbling and unsteady.

"This little bug is pretty good," Zoe suddenly remarked from the side.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise, not understanding why the other party would say that.

Seeing his confused expression, Zoe chuckled and said, "I only heard it from an elder in my family by chance. Generally, insect larvae only have the strength to take off 12 hours after hatching."

It seems our little Jiang Yi is quite strong.

Jiang Xu suddenly realized: "Is that so? Then..."

He looked down at the insect cub in Fei's arms: "It's indeed growing quite well."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he noticed the little bug rubbing its head obediently against Fei's chest.

"Ah, ah." Jiang Yi rubbed against her for a while, but found that her father-in-law was only touching her body with his hands and not giving her anything to eat, so she cried out in dissatisfaction.

Seeing Fei staring at him with a puzzled look, he pointed to his head and rubbed it against Fei's chest a few more times.

She had already felt some discomfort in her chest shortly after giving birth. Jiang Yi's rubbing against her for several minutes made the discomfort even more pronounced.

He held the baby insect and moved it a little closer to him.

"Ya, ya, ya~"

These insects were seeing hatchlings for the first time, and none of them understood what he was talking about.

Lan, who had just come downstairs, happened to see this scene. Looking at the few dumbfounded insects, she reminded them, "He must be hungry."

Fei then realized what the little bug had meant by rubbing against him earlier.

Wenxi, who followed her downstairs, quickly brought out a red fruit from the kitchen and handed it to the little insect.

The little insect brought its nose close to the red milk fruit, smelled it, and a look of surprise flashed in its eyes.

It held the milk fruit in its two paws and began to eat it with gusto.

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Xu's eyes: "The cubs eat this?"

"Huh?" Fei replied, puzzled, "Yes, the little bug can't eat anything else, it can only eat milk fruit."

Because the female insects produce very little milk, the larvae need to eat many times a day, and the female insects would starve to death if they relied solely on the female.

Later, the Zerg discovered a food specifically for their young, which allowed a large number of Zerglings to survive.

"..." Jiang Xu remained silent; no wonder his breath smelled so milky.

So that's what happened.

The few insects that came and went quickly left.

However, when the baby left, Bernd suddenly approached Jiang Xu and whispered to him that he could borrow the baby insect to play with for a few days.

However, he stopped her with a cold look.

Seeing Bernd's reluctance, he slowly boarded the aircraft.

This made Zoe, who was standing nearby, laugh.

The room quickly quieted down, with only three adults and one child remaining.

After lunch, Jiang Xu returned to his study, and the little bug clung to him as he went upstairs.

Only Wenxi and Fei remained downstairs.

The two insects sat facing each other at opposite ends of the sofa.

"General Lan, did he speak with you today?" Fei asked.

"Hmm." Wenxi slowly clenched his hands, and after a while said, "General Lan asked me to go to the military headquarters starting tomorrow. He has already reported the matter regarding the western battlefield."

Now, he needs to fully cooperate with the entire Zerg investigation.

His appearance will inevitably catch some insects off guard, and because he is blocking their way, he may even face life-threatening risks.

But thinking of his teammates on the battlefield, even so, he had no choice but to go.

Fei nodded coldly: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Wenxi looked at him in surprise, then glanced up at the door to the study on the second floor: "Aren't you home with them?"

"No, thank you." He's just not around during the day, and he's not going on a long trip. I see him every day.

The two bugs he was most worried about were both staying safely at home; now it was time to deal with things in the west.

"I'll stay with you. What happens on the western battlefield isn't just your problem, it's our entire military region's problem."

Wenxi's gaze darkened, and she slowly replied, "Okay."

The atmosphere in the room was too serious, so he suddenly joked, "Shall we let the little bug sleep with me tonight?"

"Hmm?" Fei's previously puzzled expression instantly cleared up: "No."

"Why are you being so polite? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I understand." Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and winked at Fei: "It's just that you asked Lord Jiang Xu to restrain himself a little."

Otherwise, if the little bug asks, I won't know how to answer.

Fei's ear tips felt slightly hot, and he glanced at the second floor out of the corner of his eye.

She quickly calmed down and said, "No need, Xiao Yi can sleep with us."

Jiang Xu hasn't touched him since he laid the egg.

Even his hints went unanswered.

Wenxi stared at Fei in surprise. Which switch had he flipped this time?

Why is it suddenly cold again?

That evening, Wenxi took the little bug away, leaving only Jiang Xu and Fei in the master bedroom.

"My lord, would you like me to help you bathe?" Fei asked, standing at the bathroom door and looking at Jiang Xu, who was still dealing with something.

Jiang Xu paused for a moment, then quickly resumed writing: "No need."

Fei pursed her lips, watching Jiang Xu's retreating figure, and gave the same answer as last night.
