Zerg: The female warrior's male master is acting strangely!

Despite his scolding, Manjushri dared not slow down his movements, fearing that if he delayed even a second, his cub would go hungry.

Using the culinary skills he honed at the orphanage, he carefully selected high-protein ingredients and stewed a pot of tender and fragrant minced meat porridge.

As Manjushri watched the pot bubbling and steaming, emitting a rich aroma of meat, his anger subsided slightly.

After the steaming hot and fragrant porridge was served to the table by the robotic insect, Manjushri adjusted the restaurant lights to the softest, warmest yellow.

He turned to look at the little guy who was still frozen on the sofa, too afraid to move, and slowly walked over to him, asking gently, "Can you come and eat? I just made it."

When Holoi heard the male father's question, the insect nodded blankly without even thinking (because refusing the male father would result in a beating).

He carefully moved off the sofa, even breathing very softly, afraid that any wrong move would invite another scolding from his father.

But when he walked to the table and smelled that long-lost, real aroma of food, the whole worm was stunned.

This is not a cold, bland nutritional supplement, but a steaming, fragrant meal.

Heroyi stood by the table, his small body stiffening slightly. He stared at the bowl of steaming porridge, then stole a glance at his father, who was waiting quietly...

In his memory, eating was never a happy thing.

(Because under Yulis's brutal abuse, the dining table was essentially another execution ground.)

During meals, Yulis always had a gloomy face, and if he was even slightly unhappy, he would slam his plate on the ground.

If Heroui eats too slowly, or accidentally drops a grain of rice, he will be met with a merciless slap and vicious curses.

Even worse, when he was starving and his stomach was growling, Yulis would deliberately snatch the nutrient solution that he had painstakingly hidden away right in front of him, throw it outside and smash it to pieces, and then enjoy his desperate yet daring expression with a smug look.

For Hroiyi today, eating has become a form of torture accompanied by extreme fear.

"Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

Manjushri's gentle voice pulled him back from his terrible memories.

Heroy suddenly snapped out of her daze, the whole insect shrank back in fright, and quickly reached out its little hand to grab the spoon.

But because he was so nervous, his thin wrists trembled violently, and the spoon handle made a faint "clinking" sound on the edge of the porcelain bowl.

He scooped up a small mouthful of minced meat porridge, not even daring to blow on it, but carefully brought it to his lips and tentatively took a tiny sip.

The freshly cooked rice porridge slid into his mouth, and the scalding temperature and delicious taste exploded on his tongue at the same time!

Although he was scalded and felt very uncomfortable, it was the most delicious porridge he had ever eaten.

Heroie didn't dare to swallow in big gulps, but just held that small mouthful in her mouth, swallowing it little by little like a frightened little hamster.

He was afraid that eating too fast would make unpleasant noises, and even more afraid that if he showed any signs of gluttony, he would be subjected to a severe scolding.

As a result, he remained extremely cautious throughout the entire process, even chewing very gently.

Halfway through his meal, he still felt a surge of panic. He stopped eating and secretly glanced at his father.

He was trying to confirm whether his father had frowned.

Is anger brewing?

Then be prepared to overturn this hard-won peace at any time.

In fact, Xiong's father did not show any impatience or disgust on his face!

His father sat quietly beside him, his hands folded on the table, looking at him with gentle and focused eyes.

Manjushri smiled slightly and saw the little guy looking at her like a frightened animal. She gave him an encouraging smile and said, "Baby, eat slowly, don't choke. There's more in the pot if you're not full."

There was nothing unusual about their smiles; it was as if they were truly a loving father and son enjoying a warm dinner.

Holoi was stunned. He stared blankly at his father, his tense, thin body gradually relaxing.

So... you can eat without getting scolded?

Moreover, baby, the father calls him baby... what is baby?

Even after the bowl was completely clean, Heroiy was still puzzled.

Seeing that he obediently put down his spoon and sat down without saying a word, Manjushri smiled with a hint of relief.

He took a soft handkerchief out of his pocket, leaned forward, and naturally moved closer to the cub.

Heroy instinctively wanted to back away, afraid that his father would beat him until he vomited up the food he had just eaten.

But Manjushri simply picked up a clean handkerchief, pressed it against his cheeks which were covered in rice grains, and carefully wiped away the porridge stains from the corners of his mouth, her movements as delicate as if she were handling a rare treasure.

After wiping his face, he took Heroie's still trembling little hand and wiped it clean, finger by finger.

After doing all this, Manjushri did not immediately withdraw his hand.

His fingertips gently stroked the two soft antennae on the top of Holoi's head, because he was really curious about them.

However, he was unaware that each insect's antennae were its most sensitive and vulnerable parts!

Normally, let alone being touched by an insect, even just being brushed by an unfamiliar scent will trigger an instinctive defense and trembling.

But now, those two tentacles, which had been stiff and erect due to fear, have miraculously softened!

Not only that!

They even seemed to greedily absorb the spiritual energy overflowing from the father's fingertips, obediently sticking to that finger and shamelessly rubbing against it.

Heroy's little face flushed red, and the antennae on her head curled up in shame and indignation.

He lowered his head in a panic, his small hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, reacting like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and sprang away violently with a "whoosh".

Because he couldn't believe that his father would touch his antennae in such an unprecedented way (why? Didn't his father hate his antennae and tail the most?)!

Manjushri looked at the little guy, who seemed overly frightened and at a loss, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Indeed, whether they are human offspring or Zerg offspring, they are all equally adorable!

He stopped teasing the sensitive little insect and naturally withdrew his hand, saying calmly, "Are you full? It's late, we should take a bath and go to bed."

The little one, whom he had finally managed to soothe, reacted reflexively again when he heard the word "bath".

For Holoiyi, taking a bath was also a terrifying execution ground!

That was often accompanied by rough pulling, icy cold water, and the suffocating feeling of being choked and pushed into the water by 'Yulis' when he wasn't clean enough.

He didn't want his father, who had finally become "kind" to him, to take him for a bath, in case those terrible memories replayed themselves...

Thinking of this, Heroyi's vigilance instantly surged, and his small body instinctively shrank together, making the whole insect look extremely resistant.

Heroi bit her lower lip, boldly and stubbornly shaking her head at her father, clearly expressing her refusal through body language. She hoped that her father would treat her well as before, instead of letting cruel reality shatter this brief dream.

At that moment, Heroi began to pray to the Insect God. He sincerely begged the great Insect God to let his father go, even if it meant exchanging tomorrow's pain for the peace of the present!

However, the insect god did not receive Heroy's "devout prayer".

Because, from the moment Yulis died, Manjushri successfully intercepted Heroi's request.

Manjushri sighed helplessly. He knew that forcing him would only backfire, so he did not insist any further.

He changed his approach, speaking softly to the adorable child, "Can I not go in?"

"I'll walk you to the bathroom door, and then I'll wait for you outside. Just call me if you need anything, okay?"

Heroie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded sheepishly.

Because this result is already much better than he had imagined!
