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

When Heemis came downstairs, she immediately saw the flowers on the living room table.

His gaze seemed to burn for a moment, and he lowered his brows, withdrawing his brooding eyes.

Heemis opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she saw the male insect's back so close to her, she swallowed her words back.

Gu Heng leaned back in his chair, pondering how to sell the vegetables once they were ripe.

Completely unaware of the complex and conflicted look in the female insect's eyes not far away.

Heamis suddenly found it ridiculous. Was he, a female slave, supposed to question his male master about whether he was going to marry another female insect?

He turned and left, his lips flat, without a trace of a smile.

That evening, when Heemis was tidying Gu Heng's clothes, a piece of paper fell out of her pocket.

Heamis bent down and picked it up.

It's the business card of the female insect from this morning.

His expression softened slightly, and he casually stuffed the business card back into Gu Heng's pocket.

Heemis did not intend to destroy or hide the business card, choosing to conceal it when the lord asked.

Heamis had his own pride and disdained to engage in such lowly and unseemly actions.

It all depends on the male host insect, doesn't it?

No one can change the male's mind...

He can't either.

Gu Heng could clearly sense that Hermes wasn't in a good mood today, although it wasn't outwardly apparent.

The female insect had indistinct features and a cold, aloof expression, making him seem even more distant.

Gu Heng couldn't help but ask.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I'm fine," Heemis said humbly, her voice low and indifferent.

Gu Heng chuckled awkwardly; Hermes was really acting strange today.

Despite saying that, Heemis still did all the work she used to do, and wouldn't let Gu Heng help her.

Gu Heng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering why Hermes was in a bad mood today.

The relationship between the two insects is now like that of strangers under the same roof.

Although their relationship was forced upon them, Gu Heng did not want it to remain as it was.

"If only Heemis would try to believe me even for a moment," Gu Heng muttered.

However, from Heamis's perspective, he could understand Heamis.

The male insect always benefits.

Gu Heng rolled over on the bed and let out a long sigh.

"Clang—"

The commotion outside the door made Gu Heng stop what he was doing.

What's that sound?

The soundproofing of the houses subsidized by the association is generally poor.

The first image that flashed through Gu Heng's mind was Hermione with silver-white hair.

Could something have happened to him?

After all, the female insect is still in a period of heightened mental vulnerability.

Gu Heng was lost in thought, but eventually sat up in bed.

Never mind, I'll go take a look anyway.

Gu Heng slipped on his slippers and quickly made his way to the outside of the female insect's room.

He knocked on the door. "Hermes?"

Are you asleep?

Gu Heng's voice was loud enough for the insects in the room to hear.

He pressed his ear against the door until he heard a faint, suppressed groan coming from inside.

Gu Heng couldn't help but overthink it, so he pushed the door open and said, "If you're not going to say anything, I'll come in."

"Don't……"

The female insect uttered a hoarse voice, but it was too late.

When Gu Heng pushed open the door and saw the scene inside the bedroom, his pupils contracted sharply.

The female insect leaned awkwardly against the corner of the wall, one long leg bent forward, her breathing slightly rapid, her head tilted back involuntarily, and her prominent and sexy Adam's apple bobbing up and down unconsciously.

His silver hair, as white as moonlight, was soaked with sweat, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. The veins on his hands bulged from the exertion, indicating that he was suffering from the pain of the insect.

Heemis bit her lower lip, revealing a small section of her white teeth, which made the blood seeping from the wound on her lips appear even more crimson and terrifying.

"Don't hurt yourself."

Gu Heng frowned instantly, stopping him from harming himself.

Hermes' consciousness was already somewhat blurred; to him now, the male insect's voice sounded as if it were a mountain away.

But he sensed a very fragrant scent emanating from the insect in front of him.

It was very faint, but Heamis still managed to detect it.

Gu Heng was caught off guard and was pulled to the ground by Heemis.

He cried out uncontrollably, one knee landing on Heamis's leg.

Heemis moved closer, reducing the distance between the two insects. Gu Heng could clearly see the flawless texture of the female insect's skin and her eyelashes fluttering gently like raven feathers.

Gu Heng's back stiffened, and the female insect boldly moved closer to his neck, spraying hot breath on him.

"Heamis, are you alright?" Gu Heng remembered that the female insect in a state of mental chaos was extremely threatening, but he had not yet found any signs that Heamis was harming him.

This is very wrong.

"No, very bad."

At this moment, Heamis behaved in a completely different way than usual, her gaze like the deepest darkness of night.

"Please..."

The female insect whispered close to Gu Heng's ear.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, and Gu Heng instantly came to his senses.

Pheromones?

Gu Heng pulled the female insect away and then realized something was wrong.

He touched Heemis's forehead with the back of his hand and found that the temperature of her skin was slightly higher than normal.

Hermes' cheeks flushed pink, and a pitiful, aggrieved look appeared on his face because of the male insect's recent distancing.

Gu Heng was astonished.

If he still doesn't know what's going on, then all that learning about the Zerg would have been for nothing.

The female insect is now in its feverish stage.

As a native Earthling, this was the first time Gu Heng had encountered such a situation, especially since the female insect was anything but docile, slowly getting closer to him.

The female insect tilted her head back and persistently repeated it in Gu Heng's ear.

Gu Heng immediately felt a headache coming on; where was he supposed to find pheromones for the female insect?

He bent down and coaxed gently, "Only obedient bugs produce pheromones."

The female insect blinked.

Just when Gu Heng thought the female insect wouldn't listen to him anymore, the female insect spoke.

"I'll be good."

Meeting the innocent gaze of the female insect, Gu Heng felt a pang of guilt and broke free from the scene.

He rushed to get the inhibitor.

Fortunately, Gu Heng had prepared a lot of supplies in case of such an emergency.

When Gu Heng returned, the female insect stared at him quietly without blinking.

"Pheromone."

I have to admit, Heemis looked absolutely adorable at that moment.

Gu Heng held the inhibitor behind his back, his expression unchanged and his heart unmoved. "Of course I won't go back on my word."

He coaxed, "Come here."

The female insect obediently stepped forward.

Gu Heng held the female insect in his arms. Generally, male insects release pheromones through glands on the back of their necks, but Gu Heng did not have any.

It is now clear that Hermione, in her unconscious state, still retained the instincts of her species.

Gu Heng let him sniff around his neck, while his other arm swiftly completed the injection where Heamis couldn't see.

Only when he held the female insect, whose body had gone limp, did he feel relieved.
