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

Jiang Xu paid his dues cleanly, and the insect left just as cleanly.

The shop owner and Fei walked out of the shop together. After he closed the shop again, he turned to Jiang Xu and bowed.

"Good day, Your Excellency."

Despite his calm expression, Jiang Xu felt somewhat embarrassed inside.

He raised his hand and lightly touched the tip of his nose, coughing lightly to cover up his slight embarrassment: "Sorry."

The shop owner looked at the male insect in front of him with slight surprise. He had been mistaken for a female insect and besieged by many parties, but he had silently endured it.

Now that his identity has been revealed, he remains calm and composed.

"Not at all, it's my pleasure to help you." The shop owner paused for a moment, then continued, "You can add me on WeChat, and I'll deliver it to you if you encounter a similar situation again."

"Thank you for your help." Jiang Xu had returned to normal, and he really wanted to say that they probably wouldn't need it in the future.

However, given what had just happened, Jiang Xu still kept the other party's contact information.

When they returned to their room, those who were supposed to be asleep were already asleep.

Including Jiang Yi.

Jiang Xu looked at the little insect nestled in his clothes, carefully untied the silver toothed chain, and picked him up to place him on the pillow.

"Eat and then sleep." He patted the little bug's bottom lightly and pulled the blanket over him.

They're impossible to wake up no matter what you do.

Fei peeked out from behind, glanced at the little bug, and whispered in agreement, "He must be starving today."

He felt somewhat guilty, but he also felt that Jiang Xu was very brave today.

"If you hadn't been here today, he might have gone hungry until morning. It's all my fault; I felt guilty and something was off, but I never thought about not bringing milk fruit."

Fei spoke, his tone clearly downcast.

As a female insect, forgetting to feed her offspring is a dereliction of duty on her part as a female father.

Jiang Xu glanced at him and patted his head: "It's okay, you're here now."

A transparent plastic bag was placed on the bedding, and the red, translucent flesh of the milk fruit peeked out from inside, filling the entire bag.

"This will be enough to eat for the next few days." He even suspected that by the time he returned to the capital of the Eastern Insect Zone, he wouldn't be able to finish all these milk fruits.

"Mmm." Fei nuzzled his hand with her head and responded softly.

"Alright." Jiang Xu pulled him into his arms and kissed him on the cheek. "Go to sleep early, you have other things to do tomorrow."

I went to bed very late that day, and I slept very soundly.

The room quickly quieted down, with only the even breathing of a few insects crisscrossing among them.

The next morning, sunlight streamed over the top of the building, casting a slanting glow on the central courtyard. The vegetation in the courtyard was adorned with glistening, transparent water droplets, shimmering in the sunlight.

Only then did some movement begin to emerge inside the house.

With a creak, the door to the VIP room at the far end opened, and Jiang Bian, dressed neatly, stepped out.

He looked towards the center of the courtyard for a while, and the female insect behind him closed the room door and quickly walked to his side.

"Master, please have a seat. I'll go prepare breakfast." He bowed to Jiang Bian.

Jiang Bian raised his hand and gently moved his index finger, and the female insect quickly left.

He looked at the morning dew and felt that he hadn't seen such a scene in a long time.

The southern capital is too cold; there are no semi-condensed water droplets for him to see.

However, as a child he often saw it, it was not because of the natural weather in the capital that it was frozen.

Back then, Jiang Mian would always jokingly drag him along to do those so-called little experiments.

That's how he saw so much.

"Creak—" Another door opened.

"Oh, Lord Jiang Bian, you're up so early?" Jiang Ping opened the door and saw the male insect staring blankly at the courtyard.

Jiang Bian didn't even move his head, glancing at it out of the corner of his eye before quickly looking away.

He didn't answer the other person's question, but simply sat down under the canopy.

"Tch—" Jiang Ping rolled his eyes and glanced at the room where Jiang Xu was.

He heard the two insects making noise when they came back last night, although they tried to be quiet, probably so as not to disturb their sleep.

But there's nothing I can do—

The female insect has excellent hearing.

He believed that not only he heard it, but all the insects in the house must have heard it too.

Just then, the door next to me opened.

Shuya came out from inside.

The other person saw him and nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Jiang Ping could only respond with a smile, "Shall we go sit down together?"

He pointed to where Jiang Bian was sitting and asked him.

"Hmm." Shuya replied slowly, then stopped beside Jiang Ping. "They're still not awake?"

Jiang Ping naturally knew who the "they" he was referring to were; "They haven't woken up."

"Yeah, I got back a bit late last night, so it's normal that I didn't wake up." Shuya lifted her foot and walked towards the sky. "Let's go."

"Let's go." Jiang Ping responded, walked directly to the opposite side of Jiang Bian, pulled out a chair and sat down. "Lord Jiang Bian, you didn't tell us our destination last night."

The other insect left location information. Although all the insects present saw the picture, none of them could understand it.

The information still has to come out from the mouth of the male insect on the other side.

"No rush." ​​Jiang Bian held the scalding hot cup in both hands and glanced at him. "Wait until the insects are all ready."

Jiang Ping leaned back, glanced at him with half-closed eyes, and then said nothing more.

Silence lingered among the insects. Each of the three insects was doing its own thing, so quiet that you could hear the sound of water droplets falling onto the soil.

"Squeak—", the sound of the door opening broke the silence.

Jiang Xu woke up the moment the door made its first sound.

He glanced at the insect beside him; the little insect was still fast asleep, while Fei, who was next to him, had been staring at him with his eyes open for who knows how long.

"Good morning, my lord." Fei smiled slightly as she looked at him.

"........."

Feeling inexplicably healed by that smile, Jiang Xu unconsciously smiled back, carefully supporting himself on the side of the insect cub, and leaned down to place a kiss on the female insect's mouth:

"Good morning."

Fei's arched eyebrows froze for a moment, and only after he left did he return to normal and purse his lips.

Jiang Xu got out of bed with a smile in his eyes. He picked up the clothes next to him and put them on, and the same sound came from behind him.

However, in stark contrast to the warm atmosphere among them were three insects under the sky.

Jiang Xu noticed the gazes that all turned to him as he opened the door, and the strange atmosphere between them finally dissipated.

"Jiang Xu, you little brat, come here and sit down." Jiang Ping's first reaction upon seeing him leave was joy, after all, being mute for quite some time had been quite painful.

Jiang Xu nodded and glanced at Fei beside him: "Let's go."

He could tell that Jiang Ping must have been looking forward to them for quite some time.

The atmosphere in the area eased after he sat down next to her.

"Can you speak now?" Jiang Ping looked at Jiang Bian across from him.

With Jiang Xu looking completely bewildered, Jiang Bian across from him spoke up: "The capital."

"???" Jiang Xu was even more puzzled.
