D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

However, Dorian thought that Rhine was an A-level female insect, but she married a D-level male insect, which meant that in ten years at most, Rhine might end up like him.

Dorian then chuckled self-deprecatingly. He had no right to sympathize with other insects now. Rhine was still the legion commander, and he had fought a brilliant battle. His mental state must be pretty good.

Even if things get tough in the future, at least Rhine still has about ten good years ahead of them.

On the contrary, I am already nearing the end of my life and don't have many years left to live.

Dorian knows his own physical condition best. In this great battle against the Araqi insectoids, in order to return alive to see Fez, he was forced to use some of his power again, which resulted in more cracks in his mental sea.

Given his current mental state, he won't be able to hold on for another three to five years at most.

But he didn't care. To be honest, he was living in pain every day, and his life was worse than death. If it weren't for Fies, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time. It would be good to be free from this sooner.

Anyway, in this world, he had no other attachments besides Fez.

That's why Fies asked him to do the superficial appeasement, but he didn't want to go.

Superficial appeasement won't prolong his life, so instead of wasting the money, we should give it all to Fez.

Over the years, because of his mental state, the family's money has been used to superficially comfort him, and they haven't saved any money at all.

If he dies, Fes will definitely be unable to live in the house that is meant for military dependents. He will have no money and nowhere to live. What will Fes do then?

Two years ago, he had considered having Fez marry another female insect, so that even if he died, Fez would still have a female insect to take care of him, and he could rest easy.

Firstly, Fies firmly disagreed, and secondly, deep down he was also unwilling, so the matter of marrying other female insects was never brought up again.

Now, he's running out of time, and he really needs to think things through for Fiss.

Since marrying a female insect was not an option, Dorian could only think of finding an insect he knew to help take care of Fez after his death.

But who else can he turn to? He's lost contact with his old relatives and friends long ago, and even if he begs them, they won't pay him any attention.

After arriving at the 10th Army Group, he didn't make any friends because of his physical condition. After thinking it over, he realized that he didn't even have a single familiar insect.

At that moment, the name Rhine suddenly popped into Dorian's mind.

He and Rhine were acquainted back then, and Rhine is now the commander of the 10th Army. With Rhine's protection, after his death, Fiss could live a good life on Golan Star for a few more years.

Given a few years of buffer, Dorian believed that Fez would be able to get by.

Dorian's eyes grew brighter with each thought, then quickly dimmed again.

But he didn't know if Rhine would still be willing to help him now. In his mind, Rhine was a scoundrel who wouldn't do anything without a reason, and he couldn't bring Rhine any benefit now.

After much deliberation, Dorian decided that no matter what, he would give it a try for Fez.

Rhine herself married a low-ranking male insect, so perhaps Rhine can understand him now.

......

A few days after meeting with the Tongmenghui's working bug, Lu Yuan received a party invitation from Worcester.

At that time, Lu Yuan was making dried sunflowers with Rhine.

Hearing that Rhine wasn't sleeping well at the base, Lu Yuan thought he would get Rhine some sleep aids to take back with him before Rhine's leave ended.

So Lu Yuan bought a bunch of aromatherapy products and sprays online that claimed to help with sleep. The money all came from Lu Yuan's own pocket. He's a rich guy now with a monthly income of over 20,000 yuan.

Then I saw online that putting dried sunflowers in the room can relieve anxiety and improve sleep quality. I happened to have sunflowers at home, so what was I waiting for? Let's get started.

So for the past two days, Lu Yuan and Rhein have been making dried sunflowers at home.

Yesterday, the two insects picked the three prettiest sunflowers in the yard and sealed them with a desiccant.

Seeing that the flowers were almost dry, I put them into the photo frame that I had prepared beforehand.

The two insects chatted amongst themselves, arranging the three flowers into a beautiful shape, and then Rhine added some lavender and leaves as embellishments.

Of course, the lavender and leaves are also air-dried.

Just as the two insects were admiring their work after putting the photo frame back on, Lu Yuan's communicator beeped with a message notification.

Lu Yuan picked up the communicator and thought to himself that Worcester and his team were quite efficient.

"Rhine, Worcester said the Alliance is organizing a gathering tomorrow, and many of the junior officers and soldiers who have returned from their leave will be attending. Do you want to go?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Go ahead," Rhine replied.

Rhine has been waiting for this, so of course they're going.

"Okay."

Lu Yuan had anticipated Rhine's response and could only secretly lament that the time between the two of them—or rather, the time between the two insect worlds—had decreased again.

After replying to Worcester's message, Lu Yuan continued to admire the dried flowers he had just made, but Rhine put down the photo frame and pulled Lu Yuan upstairs.

Lu Yuan was initially confused, but when he saw Rhine leading him towards the bedroom, he panicked, wondering if Rhine was going to make him pay his dues again.

I just submitted it last night, and now I'm having trouble submitting it again.

"Rhine, this is broad daylight, isn't it a bit inappropriate? Let's talk about it later," Lu Yuan said timidly.

Rhein glanced at Lu Yuan. He probably knew Lu Yuan better than Lu Yuan himself now, and he could tell at a glance what Lu Yuan was thinking.

Rhine gently tapped Lu Yuan on the head.

"My lord, what are you thinking about? I'm preparing your clothes for tomorrow's gathering."

As she spoke, Rhine pulled Lu Yuan across the bedroom and into the walk-in closet next door.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "You don't need to prepare any special clothes for tomorrow, just wear what you normally wear."

"How can that be? This is your first official appearance as president. You need to make a good impression on everyone."

"Rhine, the parties here are different from those on the capital planet. It's not some fancy banquet; tomorrow it's just a lawn BBQ."

This was information that Lu Yuan had already inquired about with Worcester, and he was extremely satisfied with this type of gathering.

Rhine: ......

Now it was Rhine's turn to be dumbfounded.
