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

"It's so noisy..."

Cen Li turned over, and in his drowsy state, he kept feeling a mosquito buzzing in his ear.

Where did this dead mosquito come from?!

Cen Li waved his hand haphazardly, trying to shoo away the mosquitoes that were disturbing his sleep, but suddenly bumped into something soft.

Ok?

...fruit, jelly?

Cen Li's movements stopped abruptly, and the moment his consciousness returned, he felt a jolt throughout his body.

The moment I opened my eyes, there was a magnified handsome face.

Cen Li blurted out, "Holy crap, that scared me to death!"

"Uh...why are you standing so close to me??"

Cen Li quickly pulled his hand away as if he had been burned, the warmth of the other insect's lips still lingering on it.

In his dream, he thought he had swatted a mosquito, but he didn't realize he had just scratched Ashel's lips.

There was still a slight dampness on the tip of my index finger.

This is awkward...

Cen Lilan's eyes were wide open, still not recovered from the embarrassment.

Ashel was also stunned.

He just wanted to obediently act as the male lord's insect-shaped alarm clock, but he didn't expect the male lord to suddenly wave his arms wildly with his eyes closed.

Cen Li's series of questions left him stunned, and Ashel slowly explained.

"My lord, I just wanted to wake you up..."

"It's been an hour."

Uh……

Cen Li slowly brought his thoughts back to the present.

He remembered that he had told Ashel to wake him up in an hour.

Cen Li: "But why are you standing so close to me?"

"Because I called out to you several times, but you showed no signs of waking up, so..."

"Alright," Cen Li raised her hand to interrupt him, "I understand."

Cen Li curled up in the soft blanket, his face covered with a light layer of powder. His skin was very fair, and any subtle changes could be clearly noticed.

Cen Li took a breath, and his mood gradually calmed down.

He asked the system and learned that Ashley had been kneeling obediently for the entire hour, without even changing his posture.

Cen Li's expression finally showed a subtle change.

Ashleigh had planned for him to sleep for an hour, but seeing that there was no bug to supervise him, he decided to slack off.

This can be considered Cen Li going easy on him.

But to my surprise, Ashel didn't try anything funny and knelt obediently for the full hour.

Cen Li looked at Asher, unsure of what to say. After a moment of silence, he dismissed Asher.

Ash closed the door to the master's room, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Is kneeling for an hour considered punishment?

Still kneeling on the soft blanket...

Today's punishment was far too lenient.

West Asia was equally troubled by Ash's stubbornness, and Renzo's servant had already reprimanded him many times.

If Cen Li fully recovers, Xi Ya doesn't dare to imagine how caught in the middle she will be.

Now that Cen Li has regained his appearance, it is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Xiya. He is increasingly uneasy, but fortunately, the news has not yet reached Renzo.

During this time, he had to do something.

night.

Ashel was preparing dinner as usual when he saw Xiah wandering around nearby again.

The other person kept touching this and that, making Ash frown.

He could guess what the other party was up to.

Ashel said in a deep voice, "Give up, I won't help you."

"If the male ruler finds out, the consequences will be severe."

The last word was Ashir's admonition to West Asia.

West Asia was well aware of the consequences of doing this, and he could only pray that the powerful ruler would never find out.

Moreover, he had already been put in this position and had no other choice.

"Please help me! Otherwise, Renzo the female servant will definitely not let my house bug go..."

Ash's eyes flickered, and just as Sia felt a glimmer of hope that the other party was about to agree.

Ashel shook his head.

"I can't help you."

He can barely take care of himself, let alone help other insects.

Moreover, Ashle couldn't convince himself to do it...

Xi Ya swallowed her pride, but was still rejected.

He erupted, unable to contain himself any longer, his face contorted in rage: "Why won't you help me?!"

"Didn't they all say you were kind-hearted and the easiest major general to get along with? But now, you won't even help me with such a small favor!"

"Just close your eyes and pretend you didn't see it; no insect will know about this!"

Sia questioned and tempted him, but Ashel remained unmoved, standing there motionless, just frowning as he looked at him.

Sia broke down, took a few steps forward, and pounded her fist on Ashel's chest: "I just don't understand, why are you so stubborn?!"

"Your master treated you so badly! He beat you, scolded you, punished you, and humiliated you. Didn't you feel even a little bit of hatred in your heart?!"

"Don't you want Cen Li to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?"

"Once he recovers and gets back on his feet, he'll torment you even more mercilessly! You'll regret it then!"

"Don't tell me you've developed feelings for this scum and don't want to hurt him!"

Ashel frowned as he looked at the agitated Sia and reached out to stop him from doing so.

"Calm down, or the lord might hear you."

"..."

"I've heard you."

A faint voice sounded from outside the kitchen, and a chill instantly crept up the spines of the two insects.

Xiya stiffly turned her head, her expression still contorted with fear and apprehension.

"A powerful, a mighty ruler."

"I dare not accept such praise."

Cen Li's lips barely curved, and his eyes radiated coldness.

"I had no idea you had such a big problem with me?"

West Asia had no idea how long the powerful ruler had been standing there, or how much he had heard.

His mind raced, trying to figure out how to get away with it flawlessly.

The cold sweat seeping from his back almost soaked his clothes.

His forced composure was quickly shattered by Cen Li's questioning.

"Insect residue."

"You want me to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair?"

The male insect's eerie voice surged towards him, and Sia's blood seemed to freeze as he listened, his face turning deathly pale.

Did the powerful ruler hear everything?

"Xia, how come I didn't know you had another side to you behind my back?"

Xiya's lips trembled, "My lord..."

Cen Li impatiently interrupted him.

"Take the things out."

West Asia's pupils contracted.

Did the powerful ruler even hear this?

Then he's finished...

When Cen Li came over after hearing the noise, he saw Ashir standing there like a wooden stake, letting Xiya vent his anger.

Just as he was about to speak up to stop them, he heard Xiya growl out of control.

Cen Li had read the original plot and deduced the general outline from their conversation.

Therefore, when Cen Li let Xiya take out the hidden medicine, neither insect noticed anything unusual.
