"It's you?" Jiang Xu looked at the female insect in front of him with some surprise, frowning slightly, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wenxi knew that the male insect opposite him had also contributed to his escape. Although he still harbored some prejudice against Jiang Xu, he still showed him sufficient respect on the surface.
"I was released early because of the strange beasts. However, I may still be bothering you for the time being."
"?" Jiang Xu's eyes were full of doubt.
Seeing that he was staring at him, as if waiting for him to continue, Wenxi explained again: "The military released me on the condition that Major General Fei supervise me."
The implication was that Fei should "keep an eye on" him. After all, he didn't trust anyone in the entire military right now.
But he couldn't let Fei be implicated because of his own affairs.
"Hmm." Jiang Xu responded, then glanced around the room to make sure the female insect wasn't there before pressing, "Since you're the supervisor, why are you the only one here? Where is he?"
"He went to the military headquarters." Wenxi glanced at the clock on the wall. "Brother Fei should be back soon."
"Squeak—"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Fei walked in.
He immediately spotted Jiang Xu standing outside the kitchen door in just a single layer of clothing, while Wen west and Jiang Xu stood face to face, so close that they could hug each other if they took another step forward.
He had originally planned to spend some quality time at home with Jiang Xu today.
Since returning from the southern insect region, they have been in a "brief separation".
In his eyes, even if the two insects slept in the same bed at night, they didn't even have time to have a proper conversation.
But he never expected to see such a scene when he returned.
Hearing the door open, Jiang Xu turned around and saw Fei standing there in a daze. He then walked over and asked, "You're back?"
"Hmm." Fei's voice was somewhat deep.
He watched Jiang Xu approach, then glanced at the thin clothes the other was wearing, and immediately turned around to take a thick coat from the clothes rack behind him and draped it over Jiang Xu's shoulders.
He cautioned, "You're wearing so little; be careful not to catch a cold."
"Hmm." Jiang Xu pulled his coat tighter around himself. "The heating is good at home, I won't get cold. But you, I thought you were cooking in the kitchen."
"?" Upon hearing this, Fei turned his head and glanced towards the kitchen. He then understood what Jiang Xu meant and explained, "No, I went to the military headquarters after picking up Wenxi this morning."
I forgot something, so I went back to get it.
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Xu watched him change into his slippers before going inside, then added, "Wen west told me."
"Brother Fei." Wen Xi, who had been left standing at the kitchen door, called out to Fei as he entered the house, "You and Jiang Xuge, come down to the dining table and sit down. I've already prepared breakfast."
The meal was exceptionally awkward—but this awkwardness belonged only to Fei.
In fact, Jiang Xu had explained it to him many times, but this female insect was always anxious and never openly expressed her emotions.
At the quiet dining table, Jiang Xu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Fei, "By the way, are you free in a week?"
He received a message from the marriage registration office yesterday afternoon. The process, which originally took a month, was much faster due to the recent low volume of business and system reforms.
Therefore, the application process for a female servant to be promoted to a female ruler can now be completed in about twenty days.
"Hmm?" Fei put down her chopsticks, looked at Jiang Xu with a puzzled expression, and mentally calculated the arrangements for next week: "There should be."
"Should?" Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, "If you're busy, an hour or two should be enough."
Fei frowned slightly. He didn't know when he was supposed to set off for the west. Right now, he and Wenxi were at home, just waiting for their superiors to give them the time.
Jiang Xu couldn't be sure about a week from now.
"Is it okay in the next couple of days?" Fei hesitated for a moment before asking Jiang Xu.
"It probably won't work." Jiang Xu took a tissue and wiped his mouth. Seeing his very troubled look, he said, "If you really don't have time, I can ask the marriage registration office if we can postpone the time."
While applying early is not an option, postponing should be fine; if all else fails, he wouldn't mind filling out the application again.
"Marriage registration office?" Fei froze upon hearing these words, repeating them to herself as her heart began to race: "What would we do at the marriage registration office?"
He didn't realize that his gaze towards Jiang Xu had already begun to hold expectation.
A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Xu's eyes. He glanced sideways at Wen west beside him, then looked directly at Fei and said, "I submitted my application to become a female ruler some time ago."
If you're busy, you can go when you're free.
"I'm free!" Fei jumped up from his chair, his expectation turning into genuine surprise, his tone incredibly firm: "I'll definitely be free in a week!"
He lowered his head, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xu, and answered with a resounding tone.
"........." Wenxi paused for a second, but quickly resumed his normal movements.
He was fed dog food on his first day back, which was fine, but why did he feel that the two bugs were looking at him strangely today?
Especially just now—was that male insect showing off to him?
Hmm...maybe he's overthinking it.
Pooh!
That male dog—its eyes clearly said that meaning, he couldn't have been wrong!
Moreover, the male insect had no intention of hiding it from him at all.
Looking at Fei's delighted eyes, Wenxi felt that he was completely under Fei's thumb, and inexplicably felt a little worried for him.
"Okay, sure." Jiang Xu was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Fei to react so excitedly, and asked with some doubt, "You like the identity of the female ruler that much?"
"I like it." Fei answered honestly without any attempt to hide it: "I like it very much!"
Why don't you like it? There can be many female servants, but there can only be one female ruler.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at Jiang Xu.
"Hmm." Jiang Xu looked at Chong across from him, reached out and took his hand, pulling Chong back into his chair. He then asked, "Do you have anything else to do today?"
Fei shook his head: "For the next few days, I'll stay home with Wenxi. My superiors will contact me if there's anything."
Jiang Xu nodded: "Want to go out for a walk? Zoe and the others are having a party tonight." He thought for a moment and added: "Just a few of us who are close friends."
Fei turned to look at Wenxi across from her, but before she could speak, Wenxi said first, "Hey—go if you want, I don't care."
Anyway, he can eat and play anywhere, so it doesn't matter.
Fei understood what he meant.
Now everyone in the military knows Wen west is with him, so there's nothing left to hide. He thought for a moment, then replied to Jiang Xu, "Go."
"Okay," Jiang Xu replied.
It just so happens that they haven't seen each other in a long time.
Zoe probably knew he had been busy lately, so she hadn't bothered him for a long time. Yesterday, seeing that the time was almost up, she finally came to ask him what he thought.
Jiang Xu opened his communicator and quickly found the message Zoe had sent yesterday, replying, "Go, Three Bugs."
