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

The familiar words still echoed in Fei's ears. It was unbelievable that in just over a month, they had been separated forever.

A gentle evening breeze carries the faint scent of roses.

He looked at Lan with bloodshot eyes: "You..."

Lan sighed, patted him on the shoulder twice, and comforted him, "I don't believe this news either. So many insects only had one communication to tell me that they're all gone."

I don't believe it either.

Major General Fei, right now in the First Military Region, the only units that can be dispatched are your unit and Major General Morgan's unit.

I want you to form a small group called "Six Insects" and infiltrate the western battlefield to investigate the situation.

"I'll go." Fei couldn't wait to investigate.

"Don't answer me so soon." Lan's gaze passed from Fei's neck to the bustling hall behind him: "Go talk to your master first."

This matter is very important. Lan's gaze was heavy and complicated: "I can't guarantee that you will come back safely. You know, if it's really as that communication from above said..."

There must be some unknown force involved.

They won't let us know the answer so easily.

"I will explain the situation to the Lord tonight," Fei said uncertainly, "and if he disagrees, please ask General Lan for my help."

"Lord Jiang Xu is somewhat different from the legends." Lan suddenly recalled Jiang Xu's protective attitude towards Fei earlier: "You know, it's not easy for us female insects to find a good home."

you........"

He advised, "Cherish what you have, and discuss things calmly. Don't take a dead-end road. That road is too difficult."

Speaking of Jiang Xu, Fei felt a little guilty and said firmly, "If he disagrees, please ask the general to cover for me and say that I need to stay in the military headquarters for some reason."

There are some things you'd better not fantasize about.

Jiang Xu's face flashed through his mind, as did the male insect.

"If you're sure you want to do that, I'll help you."

Despite the dim lighting, Lan still noticed a slight difference in Fei.

Time flew by, and the banquet was long over.

Jiang Xu sat on the head of the bed and looked at Fei, who was standing at the foot of the bed, and expressed his feelings.

The last time they shared a bedroom was when he first arrived.

Now, more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

I don't know what happened to his grandfather and maternal grandmother.

However, now is not the time for him to wallow in self-pity.

Ever since the female insect in front of him went out and came back, he found that she was completely out of sorts for the rest of the banquet.

He has a lot on his mind.

Fei stood silently at the foot of the bed, his bare feet on the pure cashmere carpet, the fine threads teasing his feet.

But right now, he has no mood to feel any of this.

He spoke with absolute certainty in front of the general, but when facing Jiang Xu, he suddenly didn't know how to begin.

European-style tasseled semi-transparent gauze curtains dance gracefully in the moonlight.

A gentle evening breeze blew in through the half-open window, rustling the wheat ears on the bed curtains and ruffling the hair of the two insects.

The spacious room seemed even more tranquil because neither of the two insects spoke.

"My lord." Fei gritted his teeth and knelt down at the foot of the bed.

Jiang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he narrowed his eyes. This was the first time since he told the other party that he didn't need to kneel.

"What happened?"

At the banquet, when the female insect returned to his side, he noticed the crimson in her eyes.

It looks like it has been healed for a long time outside, and the traces have faded a lot, but you can still see them if you look closely.

"My work will require me to travel to another city for a period of time."

"Business trip?" Jiang Xu looked at Fei's evasive eyes; this didn't seem like a simple matter.

"Um."

Fei's voice was very soft and gentle.

Perhaps these few days are the last time they can spend together, and he is somewhat afraid to look the other person in the eye.

He was afraid that the soft spot in his heart would be stirred up.

Jiang Xu slowly separated his crossed legs and stood up in his soft indoor shoes.

The soft sound of slippers stepping on the soft cushions echoed in the room.

He quickly walked to the kneeling insect, half-squatted down, lifted its tightly pursed chin with his hand, and looked it in the eye, saying:

"You know that a female servant cannot deceive her master. I want to hear the truth."

Fei looked at Jiang Xu, and the emotions that had just subsided quietly rose again in her heart.

His eyes gradually reddened, and slowly he realized that he could no longer see the face in front of him clearly.

Jiang Xu's simple sentence caused the other party's emotions to crumble.

"Sigh." Jiang Xu sighed, running his thumb across the other person's cheek to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from their eyes. "What's the big deal?"

Why are you crying?

When Jiang Xu saw the other person cry for the first time, the calm lake in his heart was rippled.

He recalled the last time he saw the other person's body, covered in both new and old wounds, yet the other person hadn't uttered a single groan.

An inexplicable emotion spread through the room.

"I..." Fei choked up, unable to speak, tears streaming down her face. It seemed she wanted to let out all the tears she had held back in front of the general.

"No rush, we have all night to talk."

Jiang Xu stood up and pulled Fei Ye up as well: "I told you, you don't have to kneel before me at home."

He picked up the insect in his hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, quietly waiting for the other person to calm down.

Fei didn't know what was wrong with her; she couldn't stop crying at all.

He didn't really want to cry, but he just couldn't control himself.

Slowly, she went from quietly shedding tears to sobbing softly, until she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

"The lord, the lord. All the insects on the western battlefield are dead." He reached out and grabbed Jiang Xu's clothes: "Wenxi is gone too."

I don't believe it. This time, this time we could have won.

Why?

His eyes, still choked with sobs, were fixed on Jiang Xu, seeking an answer: "Why did this happen? So many comrades are gone."

"Winston, because of me, is gone too."

Jiang Xu pieced together useful information from his fragmented words: the entire army on the western battlefield had perished.

He didn't speak again, listening to the other person continue crying, "If it weren't for me getting married, Wenxi wouldn't have had to take my place, and he wouldn't have died."

It's my fault.

We conducted combat simulations before the march; we were confident of victory.

Fei kept repeating these words, letting out all his emotions.

Gradually his voice grew softer and softer until he stopped crying altogether.

Only then did he realize that he had been pulled into Jiang Xu's arms without his knowledge, and Jiang Xu was gently patting his back to comfort him.

Unconsciously, his own spiritual tendrils tightly bound Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu looked down at Fei, who had completely stopped crying, and sighed helplessly, "I didn't realize you could cry so much."

He looks aloof and doesn't talk much. He remained silent after being injured.

When she starts crying, she can cry more than a three-year-old.

This was the first time in Jiang Xu's life that he had ever seen someone cry so openly in front of him, and the one crying was an insect.
