Edge star.

The soldiers had just finished eliminating a group of strange beasts and were now cleaning up the battlefield.

The female insects' uniforms were stained red with blood, a testament to the intensity of the battle.

Rhett was assigning tasks to the soldiers when a general suddenly picked up his personal terminal, glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and then he walked away.

Rett paused in his speech, watching the general's departing figure, puzzled.

Did the higher-ups issue any instructions?

Actually, it wasn't what Rhett thought; there was no urgent military situation.

Just now, Heamis's communicator beeped.

In the past, he would never have checked the communicator while at work.

But this bell was unusual; when it rang, Hermione's back stiffened.

This is the special ringtone he set for special attention.

It was a message sent to him by the male lord!

The answer popped into Heamis's mind instantly.

Without much thought, he first surveyed the battlefield, which had been largely cleared, to make sure no further incidents would occur, and then quickly walked towards a quiet, insect-free spot.

Once she had come to a stop, Heamis's finger had already swiped across the screen.

A message popped up.

"Lord: My dear General, is it convenient for us to video chat now?"

The male lord wanted to video chat with him...

The thought flashed through her mind, and Heemis's heart skipped a beat.

The body's instinctive reaction cannot be fooled by insects.

Heemis naturally wanted to video chat with the male lead as well, and his eyes momentarily lost focus.

Although five days had passed since he parted ways with the powerful ruler, the image of the powerful ruler still appeared vividly in his mind.

Every night, he would involuntarily think of the powerful ruler.

Gu Heng didn't expect Hermes to reply so quickly. He had only been getting a glass of water when his personal computer rang.

He put the water glass aside and then checked the message Heamis had sent him.

After Gu Heng read the words clearly, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Heamis said he wasn't busy right now.

The next second, Gu Heng dialed the video call.

the other side.

Although Heemis already knew that the male lord would call via video, he was still slightly alarmed when he saw the request for communication flashing on the screen.

In those few seconds, Heemis was thinking about whether her clothes were appropriate and her appearance was neat after the battle.

After these thoughts flooded his mind, Heemis suddenly realized that, deep down, he wanted to appear before the lord in the most perfect form.

But the situation didn't allow Hemires to think too much; he didn't want to keep his lord waiting.

Heamis quickly clicked "agree".

In an instant, the figure I had longed for day and night appeared before my eyes.

Heemis gazed at the still handsome face of her lord.

But the next second, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he abruptly turned around, wiping the dirt off his face with his sleeve.

In the light reflected from the screen, Heemis was startled to find that there was some blood on her face at some point.

Damn it, he actually let the male ruler see him in such a pathetic state.

Heemis instantly regretted not having done some checks.

The moment the video call connected, Gu Heng saw the female insect he hadn't seen for many days, and a faint joy and a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

However, when Gu Heng noticed a faint trace of blood on Hermione's face, he frowned slightly.

At that moment, the female insect turned around.

When Heemis turned her head, Gu Heng saw another clean and flawless face.

But a few doubts still arose in Gu Heng's heart.

"General, you're not at base right now?...Are you on the battlefield?"

The lord's question made Heemis realize that the lord might have seen the blood on his face.

After a three-second silence, Heemis nodded. "Yes, my lord. But we have just finished the battle and will soon return to base to rest."

Gu Heng didn't say much, only replying, "Okay, General. I was just afraid of bothering you."

Heemis shook her head. "My lord, you have not disturbed me."

Gu Heng then asked Hermes about her recent situation, mostly trivial matters.

For example, how is the food over there? Are you eating and sleeping well? Have you been wounded on the battlefield?

The lord's concern warmed Heemiah's heart, and he answered each question.

"My lord, I am not injured."

However, Gu Heng's gaze held a hint of doubt.

Seeing that the lord's gaze lingered for too long, Heemis thought that perhaps the bloodstains had made the lord suspicious.

He began to explain, "My lord, I am covered in the blood of exotic beasts. As you know, a double S-rank female soldier is not so easily injured."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he asked abruptly.

"So,"

"General, have you missed me?"

These blunt words reached Heamis's ears, making his heart skip a beat.

Gu Heng noticed that Hemis's gaze became evasive, and then he glanced behind him a few times, seemingly trying to cover up his misunderstanding.

Seeing that the other insects were far away from him, Heemis felt a little more at ease and whispered something.

"My lord, this is what I've decided."

Gu Heng had expected the female insect to be shy about answering, but the next second, he heard a positive response.

Gu Heng's lips curved into a wider smile, and he hummed softly in a good mood.

"I miss you very much, General."

The deliberately slowed-down voice carried a touch of tenderness and affection.

Heamis felt her heart being strangely filled.

He even felt that he was now full of energy and could take down ten strange beasts with one hand.

Gu Heng rested his chin on his hands, quietly watching the female insect on the screen. He asked slowly, "So, General, when will you be back?"

Heamis was stumped by the question; his face was never very expressive.

Therefore, whenever Heamis experiences any emotional fluctuations, he can always clearly let the insects know his inner thoughts.

Heamis was unsure about this.

He pondered for a moment, "It should be within a week."

Is there still a week left?

Undeniably, Gu Heng felt a slight sense of disappointment.

Gu Heng couldn't take it after just five days, let alone another seven days.

Longing is like a vine, always growing wildly and silently.

Seeing the lord's disappointment, Heemis felt empty and uneasy. All he could say was, "I will try to return as soon as possible, my lord."

Gu Heng nodded slightly.

He was at home, and there was nothing he could do but wait.
