The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

Gu Heng knocked on the door of the general's office.

"Enter."

As Gu Heng had expected, Hermes was still in her office.

The female insect, engrossed in its work, did not look up.

Gu Heng walked to the table and stopped.

The insect that had entered remained silent for a long time, and Heemis frowned as she looked over.

Then, the next second, his expression turned to shock, "A powerful ruler?"

Gu Heng smiled slightly and asked, "Shall we go out for dinner?"

Did the powerful ruler come to invite him to dinner?

A hint of joy flashed in Heamis's eyes. Then, as if remembering something, he glanced at the unfinished tasks at hand with a conflicted expression. He pursed his lips and said, "My lord, why don't you go and eat first?"

Gu Heng frowned slightly.

Is the powerful ruler angry?

Just as Heemis's heart skipped a beat, the lord's voice came, "Then hurry up, I'll be waiting for you here."

Then, Heemis saw the male insect walk to the small sofa on the side and sit down, as if waiting for him to finish his business.

After Gu Heng sat down, he noticed that Heamis was staring at him. He glanced down at his personal terminal and said, "General, I must remind you that it is already 12:59."

"Not eating on time is not a good habit."

The lord's words brought Heamis back to his senses. He looked down at the documents on the table, but his ears were tinged with a faint red.

They were caught peeking.

What to do...

Perhaps because Gu Heng was there to urge her on, Hermione finished dealing with it in no time.

The two insects entered the cafeteria one after the other.

Queue up to get food.

After putting down his plate, Gu Heng noticed a familiar-looking insect near the entrance. When the insect turned around, Gu Heng realized...

Isn't this the same male that volunteered to do the mental energy channeling when all the other males were unwilling?

His name seems to be Bourne?

Across from Bourne was a female soldier.

They were talking.

Although it seemed like a one-sided conversation by Bourne...

Could this be Bourne's queen?

Hemires noticed that Gu Heng was looking towards the door, so he followed Gu Heng's gaze and saw only two insects in that direction.

Moreover, the male's gaze seemed to be constantly fixed on the female insect.

Heemis's tone was ambiguous: "My lord, do you know Lieutenant Sith?"

Who is that?

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment when Heamis uttered the name.

Suddenly, something popped into his head: wasn't this the same person those male insects had teased about Bourne last time?

I heard that Sith is a divorced female soldier with a child.

So, this is the type of female insect that Bourne likes?

Hemira noticed Gu Heng's reaction, and her tone turned sour. "When did you meet him?"

Gu Heng blinked. When did he meet Sith?

As for the appearance of the female insect, it was like a grand drama unfolding in my mind.

Just as Heemis was about to say something more, Gu Heng sighed softly, "General, I don't know him. I only have a vague impression of the male insects beside him."

Ok?

Is that so?

"I thought you'd been looking at him the whole time?"

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. "I was just curious, so I probably glanced at it a few more times."

Hemira pursed her lips, seemingly still dissatisfied. Could she selfishly hope that the male lord only had eyes for her, the female insect?

Gu Heng stared quietly at the female insect, as if he could see through her awkward little emotions.

"My eyes can spot different insects, but my heart can only hold one insect, General." Gu Heng spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of coaxing.

Hermione's face flushed slightly, and she felt the insect pattern on her back burning slightly.

Was the male ruler whispering sweet nothings to him?

Would male insects in the Empire really utter such ambiguous words to female insects?

Here, Sith stared at the male insect in front of him with a slightly troubled expression.

"Lord Byrne, thank you for your help all this time. However, I am just a divorced female soldier, and the Empire has many other excellent females."

Ever since Bourne performed mental energy manipulation on Sith last time, one day Lord Bourne suddenly said he wanted to pursue him.

Sith found it incredible at the time; he had thought the teasing from the male insects in the infirmary was just a joke.

But hearing it with his own ears now told Sith that the lord who had been helping him all along actually liked him.

The idea that a male insect pursues a female insect is shocking enough, let alone when it's said to a female insect that has already been divorced.

After listening to Sith's words, Byrne sighed slowly. "Can't you give me a chance?"

"I have neither a female ruler nor a female servant."

Bourne's ambiguous words, when they reached Sith's ears, did indeed manage to make the female insect look up at him.

But then, Sith gave a wry smile, "So you deserve better."

The empire has strict requirements for female insects. Male insects can have multiple wives, but female insects are subject to many restrictions, especially divorced female insects.

The male ruler before the Sith was very dissatisfied with the fact that his offspring was a female insect, and often beat and scolded the insect along with him.

Sith could endure the daily beatings of his lord, but he did not want his little insect offspring to suffer the same fate.

Ultimately, Sith chose to divorce, embarking on a path that was considered unorthodox by the other insects.

But whenever Sith thinks of the bright-eyed bug cub, he doesn't regret the decision he made today.

Sith listened as the male insect in front of him continued, "Lieutenant Sith, you are excellent. I don't think that just because you're divorced, you're unworthy of anything." Byrne's words shocked Sith for a moment. His eyes flickered. "It's because I saved you once before, that's why..."

Before Sith could finish speaking, Byrne interrupted him, "Lieutenant Sith, I am indeed very grateful to you for saving my life before. But if I were to pursue you in such a superficial way, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to you?"

Once, when Bourne was out on the street, he encountered an antisocial female insect.

The other person was holding a knife, and for some reason, on that street full of insects, he singled out Bourne, the only insect in the street.

The other person brandished a knife and slashed at him. Having grown up in a sheltered environment, Bourne had never seen anything like this before. His mind went blank.

In this situation, which male insect would even remember to use its mental powers?

Just when he thought the knife in the female insect's hand was about to pierce his heart, Sith appeared and saved him.

The sharp knife was knocked to the ground.

Bourne also remembered this golden-haired female insect from then on.

"As you know, male insects do whatever they please."

"It is impossible for me to say that I want to pursue you just because you saved my life."

Sith, of course, understood. He stared blankly at Byrne, who was speaking. The male insect was like the blazing sun, but he…

Sith lowered his head in self-consciousness, stubbornly repeating, "You should go after a better female insect..."

Sith's eyes held a complex mix of emotions that Byrne couldn't decipher, and he let out a soft sigh.

"But in my opinion, you are the best female insect."
