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

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the windowpane.

Gu Heng rolled over in bed, his hand instinctively reaching to the side, only to grab nothing.

He slowly regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and then found that Heamis was no longer in the room.

Gu Heng glanced at the time.

还挺早的。

After going downstairs, Gu Heng indeed found that Hermes was still there and was eating breakfast.

Gu Heng looked at the silver-haired, golden-eyed female insect, a fleeting smile crossing his eyes. He remembered that yesterday the female insect's spirit form had been sleeping comfortably on his lap, and a tender feeling welled up in his heart.

When Heemis saw the figure of the male ruler, he paused in his eating. He got up and went to the kitchen to bring out another breakfast.

The lord's work hours at the military headquarters were irregular, and Heamis couldn't figure out the pattern either. So, he simply heated up a breakfast every day so the lord could eat it as soon as he got up.

Gu Heng took it and thanked him.

Who wouldn't love such a considerate queen?

The lord's hands were beautiful, with delicate, fair skin on the back and long, slender fingers. As he took the plate, Heemis's memories traveled back to yesterday.

At that time, the powerful ruler used these hands to gently caress his spiritual body.

The two insects quietly finished their breakfast.

Military headquarters.

As soon as Heamis arrived at the military headquarters, Marshal Adef summoned her to his office.

Heemis gazed at the half-white-haired marshal before her and asked, "What brings you here?"

Adef took out an encrypted letter from the drawer and handed it to Heemis. "The alien beasts on the edge of the planet have been frequently rampaging recently. The insects we sent before have not been able to completely wipe them out. The news that came back all say that they have never encountered such a situation before. It's as if the alien beasts are impossible to kill."

"I suspect the situation isn't that simple. Why don't you go and investigate yourself?"

Heamis quickly glanced at the letter, and gradually, his brows furrowed.

After hearing Marshal Adif's words, he did not agree immediately.

Adef keenly sensed Heamis's unusual behavior. In the past, he wouldn't hesitate for a long time when sending Heamis on missions. "Why are you thinking about it for so long? Is it because of your lord?"

Having her thoughts guessed, Heemis fell into an eerie silence.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, after Adef finished speaking, the image of the mighty ruler appeared in Heemis's mind.

I wonder how long I'll be gone this time...

"Wouldn't your lord agree to let you go?"

But that shouldn't be the case, right? Wasn't Heemis's reinstatement agreed to by her lord before?

Therefore, it seems that Heamis's lord was quite easy to talk to.

Adef's words made Heemis frown. If he wanted to go, the lord would most likely not object.

Heamis clutched the envelope in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the room. "When do we depart?"

……

When Bourne returned from the cafeteria, he found that Gu Heng had already returned to the infirmary.

He pulled out the chair opposite Gu Heng and sat down. Gu Heng looked up and glanced at him.

Bourne's complaints followed, "The Sith and the others are going on a mission to the Edge Planet, I wonder when they'll be back..."

He was saying this, hoping to get some comfort from Gu Heng, but he saw that Gu Heng remained calm.

Bourne was filled with doubt. Gu Heng and the general had such a good relationship, so why was Gu Heng so calm when the general was away?

"Gu Heng, don't you miss your empress?"

Gu Heng frowned. "What do you mean?"

Byrne hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Do you know the Admiral is going to Edgeworld?"

?

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hemis is going too?"

"Yes," Byrne said, seeing that Gu Heng was clearly unaware of the situation. "The list of those going to Edge Star was released this morning. I heard from Sith that the General will also be going."

"What, hasn't the general told you yet?"

Gu Heng shook his head, his expression slightly unpleasant. Hermes hadn't mentioned this to him during dinner today!

At that time, Gu Heng felt that Heamis was acting a little strange. He called out to the female insect halfway through, but she didn't hear him, clearly because she was distracted.

Seeing Gu Heng's reaction, Byrne's voice gradually softened. "The General is probably preparing to go home and tell you."

After the words were spoken, the medical room fell silent, each of the two insects harboring their own thoughts.

After get off work, Gu Heng waited for Hermes to tell him about it.

After returning home, Heemis closed the door, stared at Gu Heng for a long time, and then told him about it.

Gu Heng's lips curled into a helpless smile. "General, I've been waiting all afternoon for you to tell me this in person."

Heemis was taken aback. "My lord, when did you find out?"

"He told Bourne after lunch."

Heemis lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry, my lord, I originally planned to tell you this at noon."

But he was clearly struggling with how to bring up the matter of going on a long journey with the powerful ruler.

After the female insect told him about it herself, Gu Heng's frustration dissipated. He didn't want to learn about the female insect's affairs from another insect.

Gu Heng asked, "When are you leaving?"

"9:30 PM."

Gu Heng exclaimed in surprise, "Tonight? So soon?"

Heamis nodded.

Gu Heng frowned and asked again, "When will you be back?"

"My lord, I will return as soon as possible." Heamis did not give a specific answer; there were too many uncertainties, and he could not guarantee anything.

Gu Heng pursed his lips and asked in a soft voice, "Can I come along?"

"Of course not." Hemirs raised his voice as if he had heard something terrifying, and refused outright.

"It's far too dangerous for the male insects to go there."

Gu Heng knew that it was dangerous for him to go there. Although his mental strength level was high, his physical fitness was far inferior to that of the female insect.

But Heemis had no definite return date, and Gu Heng couldn't help but worry, wondering if Heemis wouldn't be back for more than half a year, or even a month.

Gu Heng felt that a month was quite a long time.

Perhaps fearing that the male insect might actually want to go with him, Heemis quickly went upstairs to pack her things and then came down.

Gu Heng looked at Heamis's already packed luggage, rubbed his temples. He had just casually mentioned wanting to go, so the female insect didn't need to be so afraid of him going with her.

Gu Heng had a clear understanding of himself; he was afraid that if he went, he would be a burden to Heemis and the others.

Heemis walked to the door, turned back and glanced at Gu Heng again, "My lord, I'm leaving now."

It was as if Heemis would open the door the next second after hearing Gu Heng's reply, and then leave without looking back.

Gu Heng stared intently at the female insect. "Is that all?"

Heemis stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with confusion, as if she had not understood the meaning of her lord.

Gu Heng lightly touched the corner of his lips with his finger. "General, don't you intend to give me a farewell kiss?"
