The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

When Ashel heard the sound ahead and looked up, the lord had already gone into the house.

Ash breathed a sigh of relief and then hurried to catch up.

The powerful ruler suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

Ashel stopped abruptly; had he not reacted quickly, he would have bumped into the lord.

This distance is too close.

Ashel suddenly took a step back.

Cen Li frowned when he saw him looking down and avoiding him. Why was he standing so far away?

He said, "Have you finished eating? If not, go and eat quickly."

Ash did leave midway through the meal. He had originally planned to come back and continue eating, but now he suddenly lost his appetite.

He shook his head. "I won't eat it, my lord."

Cen Li frowned even deeper. "Are you full?"

Ash paused for a second, then nodded. "I'm full, my lord."

Cen Li withdrew his gaze, said "Oh," and said quietly, "Round and chubby must have eaten more than you."

Ash's back stiffened.

After Cen Li finished speaking, he didn't look at Asher's expression again and turned to walk forward.

Ash stood there, not understanding what the lord meant. He only started to chase after him after the lord had walked away.

At the dining table, two insects left, one after the other.

Ethan, whose attention had been focused on the male insect, noticed all of this and quickened his eating pace.

Not long after, the male insect and Ash appeared one after the other.

Ethan picked up the interstellar newspaper from the table beside him, while keeping a close eye on the two insects that passed by him.

Did the male insect go to Ashir right after finishing its meal?

Ethan's eyes revealed an indescribable emotion, a mixture of envy and jealousy. When Ash was around, he could never find a chance to get close to the male insect.

Today, Ethan went to the mall with Cen Li and the others. He originally thought that he had a chance to spend time with the male insect.

As a result, the male insect's attention was always on the baby insect. When he occasionally tried to speak, the male insect's replies were lukewarm, and sometimes he would be interrupted by Gapuni.

Ethan strongly suspected that Gapuni was trying to prevent him from getting close to the male insect.

In short, this was a failed attempt to strike up a conversation.

After exchanging only a few words with the male insect, Ethan ended up becoming the free porter, his hands full of heavy, bulging toys that Cen Li had bought for Gene.

Ethan even doubted whether all those toy bugs could actually be used...

Cen Li had just finished showering and pushed open the door to come in, his hair still dripping wet.

Ash stood up and moved closer. "My lord, let me dry your hair."

Cen Li lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

Ash pursed her lips, took the towel from the male master's hand, and gently dried his hair. "There's no heating in the room. Next time, please dry your hair before going out, or you might catch a cold."

The conditions here are not as good as the male's previous living environment, and the males are generally weak, so Ash is worried that the male will get sick.

Cen Li said, "Why didn't you go in and dry my hair?"

Ash, who was standing behind him, suddenly stopped moving.

Shall we go into the bathroom...?

The interrupted activity quickly resumed as usual, and Ash said casually, "Of course, if you don't mind."

Ash quickly dried Ash's hair until it was no longer dripping wet, then he let go of it. "Alright, my lord."

Cen Li turned to look at him, "I thought you'd be wiping for a long time."

Ash paused. "Why would you say that?"

"Because... I think you'll drag things out."

Ashel followed the lord's gaze and saw a fancy book lying neatly in the corner of the table.

Ashel: "..."

Asher forced a smile. "My lord, I will now read it to you."

"If you're not willing, I won't force you," Cen Li said 'enlightenedly'.

The powerful ruler clearly just wanted to hear him read this book, yet he's asking for his opinion like this.

How could I possibly refuse a powerful ruler?

Ashel, unusually, felt a lump in his throat and said sullenly, "My lord, I want to read it to you."

"Then I'll give you this opportunity."

Judging from the sound, one would think that the male insect should have to do it reluctantly.

But Ash clearly saw the subtle upward curve of the male's lips, indicating that the male was pleased with the outcome.

Ashel silently took the book, feeling his palms burning as he held it in his hand.

The male ruler was already in bed.

Ashl steeled himself and walked over, lifting the blanket and leaning against the headboard.

He flipped through the first few pages of the table of contents.

With his excellent eyesight, he quickly spotted many eye-catching keywords.

Pheromones, tail hook, kiss, first mark... pregnancy...

Ashley, forcing himself to remain calm, politely turned to Cen Li beside him and asked, "My lord, which part would you like me to read? Or should we start from the beginning?"

"You haven't read this book yet, have you?"

Ashel nodded, puzzled. "Yes, my lord."

"Let's start with the first chapter."

Ash's seemingly accommodating answers did not make Ash grateful; he turned to the first chapter with a sense of impending doom—The Male Commander in Heat.

Ash's fingers trembled as he pressed down on the page, turning to Cen Li pleadingly, his voice trailing off, "My Lord..."

Cen Li looked at him innocently, "What's wrong?"

Ashel choked up.

When he returned, Xiong Zhu had already flipped through half of the book, so it was impossible for him not to know the contents of the previous chapters.

Ashle swallowed back his words, turning his gaze back to the present. "It's nothing..."

"Let's begin."

The flat book that the knuckles were pressing on was suddenly pressed into a noticeable crease.

Ash gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

"Today is Kai's eleventh day in the army. He is just an ordinary soldier with mediocre talent. He would not be noticed by insects if he were thrown into a swarm of insects."

The people around him were not optimistic about his decision to go to the military.

Some even said that his mental strength level was too low, and even if he went to the military, he would only be a low-level soldier for life.

But Kai didn't care about what other people thought; being a female soldier had been his dream since childhood.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside. Kai vaguely heard words like "male insect," "so handsome," and "commander"...
