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

"Lord Jiang Bian has truly done us a great favor." The Insect King's expression was very sincere.

A cold smile flashed through Jiang Xu's mind; these male insects were all incredibly good at acting.

He watched the drama unfold between the insects for as long as it lasted.

When Jiang Xu walked out of the palace, he felt like his body was about to fall apart.

"Is that all?" He heard Jiang Mian's teasing voice as soon as he left the bridge.

"Not bad." Jiang Xu glanced at him. "But I didn't expect your acting to be so good."

Jiang Mian chuckled twice: "If you practice for a few years, you won't be much different."

Just as the two insects finished their banter, a voice interrupted from behind: "Xiao Mian, aren't you going to take me to visit the Jiang family?"

After all, we'll be working together for a while longer.

"........." The smile on Jiang Mian's face vanished instantly. He stopped and turned to look at Jiang Bian: "I've done my duty to you today. Don't make me beat you up again."

"Hehe." Jiang Bian chuckled twice, his face calm, as if he had expected Jiang Mian's reaction.

He glanced at Jiang Xu and Fei beside him and said, "I'm heartbroken to see you like this."

"We're all the same kind of worms, why bother?"

"Let's go." Jiang Mian called out to the two insects beside him, then turned and walked towards the aircraft.

He suddenly realized he shouldn't have stopped. Too much time had passed, and he had forgotten that some insects like to climb up a pole.

The moment the aircraft door closed, Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Bian outside, who stood there calmly and unperturbed.

Through the one-way window, one could almost see Jiang Mian inside.

As the insects on the ground grew smaller and smaller until they disappeared, Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Mian, who was half-lying down.

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, and thinking about how busy she had been lately, she pursed her lips, walked up to him, and kicked Jiang Mian's leg with her foot: "Sit properly."

They don't set a good example for their elders.

"..." Jiang Mian had been in a good mood these past few days and had gotten used to being lazy, so being suddenly reprimanded felt a bit strange. He sat up straight immediately: "Is this the attitude you should have towards your grandfather, Xiong?"

"Do you act like a grandfather?" Jiang Xu sat down next to him, crossed his legs, and leaned against the armrest. "What's going on between you and Jiang Bian?"

Fei was somewhat surprised by Jiang Xu's attitude towards Jiang Mian; neither of the two male insects seemed to care about such a rebellious act.

It's as if they've been living in this way for many years.

"Come here." Jiang Xu noticed that the female insect was standing still, staring at the two of them without moving, so he waved to her: "Don't just stand there like an idiot."

You've been standing here for almost half a day, isn't that enough?

After the female insect sat down, he glanced at the sleeping insect cub on Fei's shoulder.

The Zerg are truly a strange species.

You can still fall asleep in this situation.

Jiang Mian looked at Jiang Xu and smiled faintly.

"What are you laughing at? I'm asking you a question, and you haven't answered yet." Jiang Xu turned his head and saw Jiang Mian's appearance, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Jiang Mian propped his head up, leaned against the sofa armrest, and stared at Jiang Xu's face in silence for a minute before saying, "He is my older brother."

"......." Jiang Xu realized that this made no difference to not saying anything.

He could guess about 70-80% of this from the name, not to mention that he had interacted with the other party before.

"and then?"

"What's the 'then' thing? That's all there is to our relationship, nothing more." Jiang Mian glanced at him lazily: "What do you want to hear?"

"I heard him talk about your attitude, and it's not just that," Jiang Xu recalled the conversation between the other person and Zoran: "Are you related by blood?"

"Nonsense." Jiang Mian rolled his eyes at him: "Same father, same mother."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xu had originally thought that there might be a difference in bloodline between them, and couldn't help but frown speechlessly.

How did you come to like this?

"That........"

Jiang Xu had barely uttered a word when Jiang Mian interrupted him: "Don't say 'that, that,' I don't know anything else either."

If I had to say, it's probably because he's timid and easily bullied. That's why I protected him for several years.

So many years have passed, he's too lazy to bring it up again.

So when he saw Jiang Bian today, he was indeed quite surprised.

The Jiang family's real stronghold, where he was born, wasn't in the east; they came here to avoid him.

headache.

Seeing that he was rubbing his forehead, Jiang Xu shut up.

He didn't say anything more, but he already knew pretty much everything.

When Jiang Xu returned to the Jiang family home, he was surprised to find that the roses in the front yard seemed to have perked up considerably.

He looked at Jiang Mian in surprise: "When did you learn this skill? You kept it so well hidden!"

When he was living in the Jiang family compound, he never saw Jiang Mian touch it even once.

Jiang Mian glanced at the rose vines: "You've noticed the changes in them, which proves they are indeed growing well."

It was worth all the time and effort he spent.

"..." Jiang Xu looked at him expressionlessly: "My observation skills should be pretty good."

Jiang Mian chuckled upon hearing his words, looked him up and down, and shook his head without saying a word.

They then walked into the villa.

Don't make the mockery too obvious.

"..." Jiang Xu watched Jiang Mian leave in silence.

"Ah~" Xiao Jiangyi, who had woken up at some point, saw the male insect's appearance and found it somewhat amusing, gesturing towards Fei.

He first pointed to the direction of Jiang Xu, then pointed to his face.

They called out cheerfully, "Ya~ya~ya~".

His appearance was practically a carbon copy of Xiao Jiangxu, but his personality was far more unconventional.

His dark gray hair was blown about by the wind, revealing his dark blue pupils below.

Looking at the little guy, Fei couldn't hide the tenderness in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in sync with the little guy's gestures.

Jiang Xu stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yi, who was in mid-air: "What are you gesturing for? I want to see too."

"Ah!" A face burst into Jiang Yi's view. Realizing he was being held, the face stopped moving and raised its arms, begging for a hug: "Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"

"Now you know how to act cute." Jiang Xu flicked his forehead: "Don't do it again."

Looking at the father and son, Fei suddenly felt that he truly had a complete family now.

There is a male master and there are insect offspring.

He stood quietly for a while, watching Jiang Xu and Jiang Yi interact.

"My lord." He estimated the time, and though reluctant, he had no choice but to leave: "I need to return to the military headquarters."

As Lan left, she gave him a wink, and he knew she wanted him to go back to the military headquarters after he finished his business.

Although it was a bit late, General Lan should still be waiting for him.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu roughly guessed why he had gone there, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Are you going home tonight?"

Fei said somewhat uncertainly, "I'll be staying at the military dormitory tonight, so I'll leave the little bug in your care for the night."

"He's my little bug too, so," Jiang Xu reached out and tucked his wind-blown hair behind his ear, "you don't need to be so polite with me."
