He can give what the military can't.

Kennan suddenly looked at Fei, his eyes slowly becoming uncertain. But soon, he remembered what Jiang Xu had said earlier.

At the time, he was so confused that he couldn't process it, but now... he stared at the two insects in disbelief.

Is that what he meant?

Seeing his stunned expression, Parker nudged him with his elbow and slightly raised his chin: "If you're not going, I can do it for you."

He was definitely going to see the male insect's miserable state.

Kennan turned her head stiffly, looked at him, pursed her lips slightly, her eyes growing increasingly deep, and slowly uttered a single word: "Want."

Parker's mouth nearly stretched to his ears at his words, but then, realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Is that so? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

They can take things in stride.

He turned to Jiang Xu and Fei, somewhat excitedly, and asked, "When are we leaving?"

Parker now wishes he could spread his wings and fly over there in a flash.

However, he didn't want to be on tomorrow's online headlines.

Fei glanced at the sky outside. On their way back, they went to find General Lan first. It should be close to the end of the workday now.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time on the communicator.

"After you get off work."

When there's anticipation, every second feels like a year.

Fortunately, it was close to the end of the workday, and soon they left the military headquarters.

This was Kennan and Parker's first visit to the Jiang family.

How so?

Parker would glance at Jiang Xu every now and then, then quickly look away.

After several rounds of this, Jiang Xu, the insect involved, said nothing, while Fei's face turned cold.

"What do you want to say?" He quickened his pace, blocking Parker's prying gaze.

He hates other females spying on his male master, including females that are close by.

Parker chuckled twice, completely oblivious to Fei's displeasure, and said sheepishly, "The Jiang family is really big."

If it weren't for the insects on duty allowing the aircraft to enter out of consideration for Jiang Xu and Fei, they would have had to walk for quite a while.

Jiang Xu was speechless upon hearing his answer.

He turned his head and said something to Fei, then quickly left.

"Hey~" Parker didn't hear what Jiang Xu and Fei were saying. Seeing him leave, he suddenly called out subconsciously.

"I'll take you there," Fei interrupted him, "Lord Jiang Xu has his own matters to attend to."

"Oh..." Parker nodded subconsciously.

He followed closely behind Fei. There were many rules in the grand mansion, so in order not to embarrass Fei, he didn't even look around, but followed his steps closely.

Soon the sound of the three insects was drowned out in the tunnel.

Jiang Xu had no intention of going to the basement anyway, and headed straight for the sunroom at the back.

Sure enough, as the distance drew closer, he could vaguely hear low laughter coming from ahead.

"Little bug, give us another show." Joe's voice came from afar.

Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows; it seemed his female father was also present.

When he got closer, wow, they were so happy!

The little bug sitting on the middle table is frantically blowing bubbles.

Jiang Mian was sitting in the direction Jiang Xu came from, so he saw him at a glance.

"You're back?"

He thought he wouldn't be back until very late.

"Well, things are almost done, so I'm back." Jiang Xu walked to the table, grabbed a piece of paper, and wiped the drool off Jiang Yi's face.

"You lot, please don't tease him by making him blow bubbles."

Putting aside whether it's clean or not, he's afraid that too much saliva on his face will cause sores or something.

Jiang Mian curled his lips, knowing that Jiang Xu was applying the situation of human children to the insect cubs.

"It's nothing." Qiao teased Jiang Yi with her finger, saying nostalgically, "You used to like blowing bubbles like this when you were little too."

This is probably due to genetics.

Suddenly, he looked at Jiang Cheng with some curiosity.

The other person simply shrugged without saying a word.

Zoran chuckled: "It's not Xiao Cheng's fault. He wasn't like this when he was little. Maybe Xiao Xu is a fish that turned into a fish, which is why he likes to blow bubbles so much."

Xiao Yi followed suit.

"......." Jiang Xu looked at his father-in-law and grandfather who were teasing him, speechless.

What does it have to do with him if the original body blows bubbles?

Jiang Mian chuckled under his breath when he saw his embarrassed expression.

When they were in human society, this person was very eloquent.

One sentence from him is worth three sentences from him.

Now it's much better. When they join the Zerg, they not only respect their elders but also talk back less.

"Have you prepared your outfit for tomorrow morning's trip to the south?" Jiang Mian asked, quickly changing the subject when he saw Jiang Xu's increasingly somber expression.

He feared that the other party might become enraged and take him down with them.

Jiang Xu walked to an empty sofa and sat down, poking the little insect's face with his finger before replying, "I don't have much to prepare, but how are your preparations?"

Jiang Mian retorted, "Who told you I was going?"

"......."

Who said that? It couldn't have been him.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes, "You're not going?"

"From beginning to end, I never said I was going." Jiang Mian coughed twice, covering his lips. "I'm not in good health, and I can't handle a long journey."

"......" It's the same old routine again.

Seeing that Zoran was a little nervous, Jiang Xu reached out and patted the old man on the back.

How so?

Not knowing what to say, he really wanted to stand up and point at him loudly, saying: "Pretentious!"

However, he couldn't bring himself to do something so shameful in front of so many insects.

"Just me?" Jiang Xu asked.

"No, Jiang Ping will go with you."

Jiang Xu was taken aback: "Uncle Lin is going too?"

"No, this time it's just you and Jiang Ping from the Jiang family."

"Alright, alright," Jiang Xu glanced at Jiang Mian and Jiang Cheng. They both had to keep the insect company, leaving him as the only idle insect.

"Oh, right," Jiang Mian suddenly remembered, "Is Xiao Fei with you?"

He casually brought up those hurtful words.

Jiang Xu glanced at him indifferently, and remained silent for a moment: "The military has something waiting for him to do."

Moreover, Wenxi is in a military prison and needs to be kept in check; there's no time for him to follow him around all day.

Jiang Mian clicked his tongue and looked at him with pity.

"......." Jiang Mian, who didn't say anything, was even more provocative, Jiang Xu thought to himself.

And so, the next day arrived.

After parting ways with Fei, Jiang Xu went to the meeting place previously designated by Jiang Bian.

Southern suburbs of the capital.

The southern suburbs are not entirely covered in yellow sand like the western suburbs, nor are they entirely covered in scorched earth like the eastern suburbs.

There is a straight avenue in the center, with rows of white greenhouses on both sides.

It looks a lot like an industrial park.

Of course, it might look even more like that if there weren't so many water sprayers in the sky.

Colorful flowers bloom in the gaps between the greenhouses, and it seems that the water spraying devices were specially prepared for these flowers.

Jiang Xu disembarked from the aircraft and landed on the central avenue.

He looked curiously at the slightly translucent white greenhouse, and could vaguely see what kind of plants were growing inside.

But he couldn't see what it was because the greenhouse had limited light transmission.

Jiang Xu was surprised to see Jiang Bian already waiting in front of him, as he was surprised that the other party was so punctual.

He soon realized he was overthinking things.

Jiang Bian, sitting opposite him, glanced behind him and, finding him alone, the smile on his face vanished instantly: "Where's Xiao Mian?"
