Dorian waited at the store entrance for almost an hour and a half before Fez finally came out. As soon as he saw Fez, he rushed to greet him.

"My lord, you've finally come out. Why did it take you so long?" Dorian asked.

"Oh, I was having a good chat with the Rhine Legion Commander, and I completely lost track of time."

Fez looked a little uneasy, and to avoid being noticed by Dorian, he deliberately lowered his head and spoke.

Dorian didn't notice, but found it strange that Fies was usually slow to warm up and not very good at chatting with unfamiliar insects.

"What did you all talk about?" Dorian asked.

Because he was about to deceive Dorian, Fez was a little nervous, but he forced himself to remain calm and said...

"I just asked about your situation. The Rhine Legion Commander is quite concerned about you. You've made a really good friend."

Dorian found it even stranger; were his relationship with Rhine really that close?

"So, regarding the matter of taking care of you, Rhine agreed, right?" Dorian continued to ask.

At this point, Fies's eyes darkened.

"Yes, I agree."

Fies gave a brief reply, his voice laced with barely concealed anger.

However, Dorian didn't realize that he was only thinking how wonderful it was, and that he could finally relax.

The two insects, each with their own thoughts, slowly walked home.

……

When Rhine returned home, as soon as he opened the door, Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately turned his head. His eyes were like those of a dog that had been left alone in an empty house and had finally seen its owner come home.

"Rhine, have the teaching materials been given to Fies?"

"Yes, I gave it to him."

"If I run into Fiss next time, I can ask him how his studies are going, and if he has any questions, I can explain them to him."

Lu Yuan genuinely wanted to help Fiss.

He already had a good impression of Fez, and after hearing the story of Fez and Dorian, he felt even more that he saw the shadows of himself and Rhine in Fez and Dorian.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to find that textbook, Dorian's present situation could very well be Rhine's future.

Because of that textbook, he was able to be with Rhine happily without any worries, and he was also willing to pass on this good fortune to Fez, so that Fez and Dorian could also be together happily for a long time.

Seeing that Lu Yuan really wanted to discuss the teaching materials with Fiss, Rhine had no choice but to stop him.

"My lord, you can't tell him about the textbook. I didn't tell him that I got the textbook from you. I only said that I got it by chance. He doesn't know that you have already studied this textbook."

"Ah, why? Since the textbooks have already been given to Fies, is there any need to hide the fact that you studied them from me?"

Lu Yuan felt that since the teaching materials were all taken from Rhine, and since he was a low-level male insect and Rhine was a high-level female insect, it wouldn't be easy to assume that he would learn them.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was unaware that, as innocent as Fei Si was, she hadn't made any connection whatsoever.

Rhine didn't offer much explanation, only saying that they should keep it a secret for as long as possible.

What could Lu Yuan do in this situation? Naturally, he had to listen to Rhine. So, Lu Yuan could only apologize to Fies in his heart.

I'm sorry, young man from Fez, you'll have to walk the road ahead on your own.

……

After the textbook issue was resolved, Lu Yuan and Rhein returned to their peaceful lives.

As the end of Rhine's rotation period drew closer, Lu Yuan and Rhine's home began to be covered in packages.

These packages were naturally purchased from afar.

He was just browsing the internet casually, hoping to buy something else for Rhine to take with her.

As a result, shopping websites started pushing various items that military women could use to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan looked at this and thought it was good, and looked at that and thought it was also very good.

Moreover, the promotional language for those items online is extremely persuasive, as if possessing them would grant Rhine nine lives on the battlefield.

Could Lu Yuan resist such temptation? Of course not. As a result, Lu Yuan became addicted to online shopping and couldn't extricate himself.

If Lu Yuan hadn't been using his own money, and if the amount of money in his pocket hadn't limited his spending, the packages that were sent would probably have filled their entire yard.

Lu Yuan started by buying relatively normal things, such as emergency medicines and compressed nutrient solution that could last for two weeks.

The things he bought after that started to go in strange directions. For example, Lu Yuan bought a bunch of amulets.

Amulets come in all shapes and sizes and have different functions, such as protecting safety, career, and health. Lu Yuan strives to protect Rhine from every angle.

And this is not even the most abstract one.

One day, Rhine saw Lu Yuan's dog, Chong Chong, carrying a large, unopened package into the bedroom. After a while, Lu Yuan came out and walked up to Rhine, saying mysteriously.

"Rhine, come to my bedroom in ten minutes."

After saying that, Lu Yuan went upstairs again.

Rhine was also confused about what Lu Yuan was up to, but since his master was interested, he would play along.

Ten minutes later, Rhein entered the bedroom on time.

There were no insects in the bedroom, but there was a worm-shaped bump on the bed.

Rhine walked over and gently lifted the blanket as she spoke.

"My lord, what are you doing...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Rhine stopped, his expression becoming quite peculiar.

Before Rhine could react, the wardrobe door creaked open, and Lu Yuan jumped out of it with a big smile.

"Ta-da, Rhine, are you surprised? Are you not? Do you like the gift I gave you?"

Rhine's expression was subtle; if you looked closely, the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly. He looked down at the doll lying peacefully on the bed.

This is a life-size doll with Lu Yuan's face. It is exquisitely crafted and lifelike, and the doll is even wearing the same clothes as Lu Yuan.

"My lord, why did you give me this doll?"

Rhine was truly baffled.

Lu Yuan walked over, picked up the doll, patted its head, and said...

"So that it can go to the front lines with you in my place."

One day, when Lu Yuan and Rhein were hugging and whispering sweet nothings to each other, Rhein said that he missed Lu Yuan every day on the front lines, and he felt very lonely without Lu Yuan in his room.

Lu Yuan remembered these words. Later, when he was shopping online, he saw insect-shaped dolls for sale. He had a flash of inspiration and ordered a doll that looked exactly like himself online, hoping that it could replace him and accompany Rhine on the front lines.

To increase the resemblance, Lu Yuan also had many outfits custom-made for the doll, all of which were exactly the same style as what he usually wore.

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Rhine looked at the doll again and felt a different way, her eyes showing more affection.

Rhine took the doll from Lu Yuan's arms, stroked it a few times, and then squeezed it.

Then, Rhine did something that made Lu Yuan's jaw drop.

Rhine pulled down the doll's pants.
