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

Fei suddenly felt a pang of homesickness and hesitated for more than ten seconds before knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

A familiar voice came from inside, and Fei, who had been working non-stop for several days, finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

He gripped the door handle and gave it a gentle push. The door clicked open, and he looked inside. Jiang Xu was sitting on the sofa, propping his head up with his hand, flipping through a newspaper he'd found somewhere.

My eyes suddenly felt warm.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xu looked up at the door and saw Fei standing there without moving. He asked in confusion, "What are you daydreaming about? Come in."

He casually placed the newspaper on the table and stood up beside him, waiting for the female insect to enter.

"My lord, are you really alright?" Fei snapped out of his daze and quickly walked in.

Jiang Xu looked at the female insect standing in front of him, raised his hand and gently tapped his forehead: "It's nothing."

He turned to look at the other insects that had entered; each one looked travel-worn, as if they had been searching for him frantically for the past two days.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble these past two days."

"Of course not." Locke looked at Jiang Xu and, after confirming that the other man's complexion was not bad, continued, "As long as you're alright, that's good."

He clearly breathed a sigh of relief: "You have no idea, the moment I found your room door open after I finished eating, I felt like I'd been struck by lightning several times."

"Thank goodness you're back safe and sound, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the Jiang family."

Jiang Xu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's alright, my grandfather already knows."

"......" Loga looked at Jiang Xu speechlessly. Is this how you comfort insects?

"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard these past two days. Go back and get some rest." Jiang Xu sighed inwardly as he looked at the ashen faces of the group.

They were originally supposed to rest for a day, but who knew they'd be working non-stop for almost two days straight because of their own affairs. Even the strongest body can't take that.

"Alright then," Luo Jia glanced at Fei behind Jiang Xu, thinking that with him there, nothing should go wrong. "Then we won't bother you any longer and will go back to rest first."

"Mm." Jiang Xu responded, glancing at Parker and Kennen who were still hesitating. "Thank you for your help."

Kennan nodded to him, then looked at Fei and hesitated, "Shall we go and rest too?"

Fei nodded slightly to them.

They then followed him out of the room, taking the bag with them.

The room fell silent.

What's coming will come, Jiang Xu turned to Fei: "What do you want to ask?"

Fei shook his head. Since they came in, the other party had not revealed the purpose of the kidnapping, so he naturally did not ask any further questions.

"You really don't want to ask?"

Fei paused for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

Jiang Xu raised his hand and patted his head, his voice unconsciously softening: "This kidnapping is related to my two grandfathers. It's not a big deal. They didn't make things difficult for me."

He was about to withdraw his hand when he saw the other person's reddened eyes. His hand paused, and he gently stroked the other person's face instead.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

Fei looked at Jiang Xu with red eyes, not saying a word. After a long while, her voice choked with emotion, "My lord, can I hug you?"

Jiang Xu looked at him, her eyes filled with grievance.

Okay, just don't cry.

He stepped forward, pulled Fei into his arms, and gently stroked Fei's back, saying, "I'm sorry, I lied before."

I thought I could make it back in time.

However, I didn't expect to encounter so many things on the way back.

Fei shook her head and hugged Jiang Xu tightly. As long as he was alright, that was all that mattered.

Jiang Xu tilted his head to look at the head on his shoulder, patted it, and said in a half-joking, half-teasing tone, "How come I never noticed before that you cry so much?"

I remember the first time I met you, you were covered in bruises but you didn't even cry out in pain.

He paused abruptly, gently stroking the other person's back as if trying to soothe his wounds.

With concern, she asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. I don't know how much pain your heart hurt when you had the accident," Fei's deep voice rang in Jiang Xu's ears.

He tilted his head slightly to avoid the strange noise near his ear.

A strange emotion, one he couldn't quite place, swirled in his chest, bringing him a strange sense of comfort.

He suspected the insect was flirting with him, but he couldn't find any concrete evidence.

He loosened his grip on Fei: "You've been looking for me for a long time too. Everyone's resting now, so you should rest too. We'll talk again when you wake up."

Fei was reluctant to let go; he was somewhat attached to the scent of the male insect, but since the other had already said so, he had no choice but to let go.

"Um."

Fei slept soundly, the weight on his heart lifted, and a wave of exhaustion washed over him. The scent around him brought him immense comfort, and he could no longer resist completely succumbing to the allure.

After Jiang Xu waited a while until he was sure the other person wouldn't wake up, he sat up in bed.

He slowly moved his body until he was completely free, then turned around and saw that Fei was still unconscious. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the bathroom.

He had just been talking to Loga about Zoran when he realized that he hadn't yet let Zoran know he was safe after escaping.

They quickly got through to the other party.

A few seconds later, a miniature version of Zoran appeared before him: "Grandpa Mother."

Zoran glanced at his retreating figure: "Where are you?"

Jiang Xu hadn't expected the first question to be this. He pursed his lips and, after a few seconds, said, "The bathroom."

"?" Zoran asked, puzzled. "Jiang Bian hasn't released you yet? No, wait, you can call me using a communicator."

After listening to him mumble a bunch of things, Jiang Xu explained helplessly, "They've already brought me back, and I'm at the hotel now."

Did that bastard give you any trouble?

Uh, Jiang Xu suddenly noticed that Chong, who was usually well-mannered, seemed to become quite agitated when talking about Jiang Bian.

"No, he talked about your past in a lot of random things, like how I look a lot like my grandfather."

Just as Jiang Xu finished speaking, Zoran's cold voice came: "Don't pay any attention to that crazy lunatic. Stay as far away from him as possible from now on."

Otherwise, once it gets stuck, you can't shake it off.

Jiang Mian had gone to great lengths to break free from the other party's entanglement back then. He didn't want to drag his grandson into this and cause him unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Xu could tell from the other party's tone, which was full of disgust and hatred, how unpleasant things were between them.

"Female grandfather," Jiang Xu called softly, then asked in the other's puzzled eyes, "If one day, an insect suddenly tells you that your male grandfather is still alive, you...?"

He paused, not continuing, but sometimes a clever insect only needs a little to understand.

Zoran's face instantly darkened, his usual affable expression vanishing: "What did Jiang Bian say to you?"

Or: "Does he know the whereabouts of your great-grandfather?"

"..." This seemed like an overreaction. Jiang Xu looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "What if it were me?"
