Compared to the last time when Cheng Chu couldn't even get through the door, this time it went much more smoothly.

He was led by Mikel and arrived at the office without any obstacles.

Inside the office, a pure white desk sits in the center, with a screen emitting a faint blue light on its surface. Behind it is a row of white bookshelves, neatly arranged with various unidentified documents and books.

In the corner were two small sofas and a table, on which were two lunch boxes, probably prepared by Elijah.

The office is simply and clearly laid out, with nothing superfluous.

Mikel led the male insect to the sofa and said, "Master, please sit here for a while. I'll take you out for a walk later."

"Okay." Cheng Chu looked at the food box on the table, sat down and said, "Wife, you haven't had lunch yet, eat now, don't worry about me."

As he spoke, he began to open the food box and arrange the food on the table, layer by layer.

He handed the spoon to Mikel and asked casually, "Honey, do you usually eat this? Don't you get tired of it?"

Cheng Chu thought about how he had been living in the school cafeteria since junior high, eating there for three years in junior high and three years in high school. Even if the food was delicious at first, eating it the same way for three years would eventually make him tired of it.

"Master, wait a moment, let me wash my hands first." Mikel did not take the spoon. He got up to answer the male insect's question as he walked towards the lounge at the back of the office.

"The food in the cafeteria is actually quite good. They change the menu every quarter, so it doesn't get boring."

For many female soldiers, being able to eat these warm, natural foods is already a blessing. If we're talking about greasy food, nutrient solutions are the most greasy, regardless of flavor.

Mikel went into the lounge to wash his hands, while Cheng Chu continued to unpack another food box, which contained a portion of cut fruit.

The sound of running water came from the lounge, and a moment later, Mikel came out wiping his hands.

He walked over and asked, "My lord, are you finding the nutrient solution too rich?"

"Wife, come and eat, come and eat." Cheng Chu pulled Mikel's arm and made him sit down next to her, handing him a spoon.

She then replied with a smile, "No, I think the nutrient solution is fine."

Compared to other foods for the Zerg, Cheng Chu really preferred to drink nutrient solution.

Mikel dried her hands and sat down next to the male insect, taking the spoon from him. "Master," she said, "you can have some fruit. I'll make you fried rice when we get home, okay?"

Cheng Chu nodded: "Okay."

Fried rice is one of the few dishes that Mikel and Chengchu have managed to make that can be considered delicious after experimenting for so long.

The taste is also the closest, with little sweetness, although it doesn't look as appealing as other insectoid foods.

Next, Mikel began his lunch, with Cheng Chu keeping him company. Every now and then, he would eat a piece of fruit.

After lunch, there was still half an hour for the afternoon nap. Cheng Chu leaned back on the sofa, head tilted back, eyes slightly open, already feeling drowsy.

Mikel tidied up the lunchboxes on the table and threw the trash into the bin next to him.

He turned around and saw the male insect looking half-asleep. He reached out and gently patted the male insect's shoulder, saying softly, "Master, if you're sleepy, come with me to the rest room for a nap."

"Huh?" Cheng Chu woke up with a start, raising his head and looking at Mikel with confused eyes. His voice was muffled: "Wife? What's wrong?"

Mikel smiled helplessly and asked in a soft voice, "My lord, why are you so sleepy today?"

Although the male insects have a habit of taking a nap, they have never been this tired before. They couldn't hold on for even the time it takes to eat a meal.

Is the work at the Saintly Vine cultivation base really that tiring?

"Hmm, I'm sleepy." Cheng Chu was so sleepy that he couldn't think straight. He raised his hand to rub his stiff neck and yawned.

Seeing this, Mikel wasn't in a hurry to ask. He pulled the male insect up and said, "Master, let's go to my resting room and take a nap."

Mikel's office is equipped with a small lounge area for his lunch break.

The space inside wasn't large; it contained a small bed and a cabinet, inside which were Mikel's military uniforms.

The bed wasn't big, and it was obviously a bit cramped with two adult insects lying there. However, Cheng Chu could still sleep comfortably while holding Mikel.

To avoid squeezing Mikel's stomach, Cheng Chu was always careful not to put his legs on Mikel's body when he slept.

The male insect almost fell asleep the moment it hit the bed, and Mikel could even hear his soft snoring.

It seems the male insect is exhausted today.

Mikel frowned in confusion. What exactly did the male master do at the Holy Vine Cultivation Base? How could he be so exhausted?

The answer to this question can only be found when the male insect wakes up. Mikel was being held by the male insect, and his nostrils were filled with the male insect's scent.

He quietly watched the male insect's sleeping face, and then gently kissed the corner of its mouth. A moment later, he too drifted off to sleep in the male insect's embrace.

In the small lounge, blackout curtains blocked out the outside light. In the dimly lit room, two insects slept peacefully, their breathing mingling and embracing each other on the cramped bed.

…………

Time flies, and Mikel's biological clock rang on time.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, the male insect had already snuggled into his arms, and his left arm was slightly numb from being used as a pillow by the male insect.

The male insect's head was covered by a blanket, nestled in Mikel's neck, its warm breath spraying onto the insect patterns on his neck.

Mikel raised his right hand to shield his forehead, staring at the ceiling, still somewhat dazed. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

When he came to his senses, the male insect was still asleep, and Mikel didn't wake him. He quietly pulled his arm out, got out of bed, and put on his military jacket.

The entire process did not disturb the sleeping male insect in the slightest. Mikel then tiptoed out of the lounge.

All afternoon, Elijah was instructed by his general not to knock when entering the office. He was also told not to speak too loudly once inside.

Most importantly, you must not make a sound when you go out and close the door.

For some reason, there were more female soldiers coming and going in the office today, and Elijah had to remind them one by one.

Elijah was tormented and praying that the general's beloved lord in the lounge would wake up soon, otherwise he wouldn't dare to enter the general's office.

No one could have imagined that Cheng Chu would sleep through his afternoon nap until the end of the workday, and there was still no sign of him waking up.

Mikel also felt that the male insect was sleeping for far too long, and he checked on it several times. The male insect's thorax rose and fell rhythmically, and its breathing was even. The male insect was indeed sleeping, and there was nothing unusual about it.

It's time to get off work; we can't let the male insects sleep any longer.

Mikel told Elijah to wait by the aircraft while he got up and went into the lounge.
