[Zerg] After being reborn as a male Zergling, he refused to be a kept man.

After being nameless and unrecognized for so long, the reserved and cryptic male insect finally uttered a sentence that the female could understand.

Fei's pupils widened, her red lips parted slightly, and glistening tears dripped from her eyelashes onto her flushed cheeks, which were intoxicated by the alcohol.

He stood frozen in place, the bottle in his hand shattering at his feet, looking somewhat foolish.

Zhuang Nian patiently waited for Fei's reply. The moonlight outside the window shone on his tall and slender figure, illuminating the red gemstone ring lying quietly in his palm with a dazzling light.

—Like stars just picked up from the Milky Way.

Fei had been dreaming of this day for a long time, and she couldn't refuse it, nor did she have any reason to refuse it.

Before nodding, he still had many uncertainties...

The female soldier's voice was hoarse, and she sounded a little uneasy: "I...I'd like to ask you a few questions..."

The male insect nodded, indicating that he should speak.

Fei: "Why do you want to marry me?"

Zhuang Nian: "My queen, I will only marry you."

Fei's eyes lit up with joy, her heart pounding with excitement for a long time. Then she asked cautiously, "Then... what about Kasu? He'll be heartbroken if you do this."

Zhuang Nian: "What does not knowing have to do with me?"

Fei pursed her lips, a little disappointed, and said, "He is your destined worm, and your compatibility is 100%. Unlike me, it's only 59%... I didn't even reach the passing grade."

Zhuang Nian: "Back then, Bino's compatibility with me was 93%, only 7% lower than Kasu's. Did I abandon you because of him?"

Fei felt that his master's understanding of the phrase "destined worm" was not thorough enough, so he frowned and shook his head, saying, "That's different."

Zhuang Nian asked curiously, "How is it different?"

Fei earnestly explained the science to his male lord:

"Anything that can live up to the title of 'Destined Insect' must have a 100% match rate."

"The male insects marry females based on data provided by the mainframe, choosing the one with the highest compatibility score. This way, even if they don't like each other, they can maintain a basic level of decorum because of compatibility, ensuring the stability of the marriage."

"But once the destined worm appears, it will break this situation. There have been examples of this before..."

"A male insect married a female with a compatibility score of over 90, which was considered a great favor and made him the envy of other insects. But one day, the male insect's destined mate was born. After they met, the female insect, who had been pampered for decades, was immediately and without hesitation abandoned by the male insect."

"And your compatibility with Kasu is also 100%. You two are the most perfectly matched insects in the world, destined to like each other and then fall hopelessly in love..."

Fei choked up again as she spoke, sobbing as she said:

"Although you can marry many insects, forgive me for not being able to bear sharing you with other insects, not even a little bit. Just one glance you gave Kasu at the banquet before, and I felt my heart was breaking."

"If you're only doing this for the sake of the children, and because of our past relationship, and are just settling for someone else, then I... I... sob... I'd rather lose you completely... sob sob sob..."

Zhuang Nian, who had been listening silently for a while, remained silent.

He pulled the female soldier to sit on the sofa, wiping his tears with tissues as he casually asked, "So, according to you, if your destined insect appears one day, you'll also leave me and go to love other insects?"

Fei hurriedly shook his head, took the tissue from Zhuang Nian, and haphazardly wiped the snot and tears from his face. While hiccuping, he affirmed, "No! No way! I! I would never like other insects!"

Zhuang Nian: "But he is a destined insect, it is fate that you two are destined to meet, know each other, and fall in love. How can you be so sure?"

Fei threw the scrap paper in his hand into the trash can, sniffing as he said:

"I don't care about any of that. I like whoever I like, and that's not something that can be determined by matchmaking scores. If I could really be controlled by it, I wouldn't have risked being punished by the server to change my matchmaking scores and marry..."

Fei paused, staring blankly at Zhuang Nian.

It must be said that the male insect is a very good counselor. No matter how many dead ends the female insect gets into, the male insect can pull her back.

Fei felt a sudden sense of clarity and cautiously asked, "You...you don't care about that damned matching score?"

Zhuang Nian hummed in agreement and reached out to pat his head.

Fei shifted her position closer to her master, still somewhat hesitant, and tentatively asked, "Kokasu is so handsome, and has such a great figure..."

Zhuang Nian remained noncommittal: "Aren't you female insects all so handsome and dashing?"

Fei pursed her lips and said softly, "But she's only 18, she just turned 18 today. Unlike me, I'm already old~"

Zhuang Nian chuckled and reached out to flick the female soldier's nose: "That happened so long ago, why are you bringing up old grievances?"

############################################

"He also has a red beauty mark at the corner of his eye, which is so striking that it made you stare at him for so long at the banquet..."

Zhuang Nian was truly exasperated with his own lecherous son, who had grown up drinking vinegar. He pulled out his finger, pointed it at Zhuang Nian's lower back, slid it down a few centimeters, and whispered slowly in Zhuang Nian's ear, "You have one here too, and it's black."

"!!!" Fei: "Huh? Where? How come I didn't know?"

Through the fabric, Zhuang Nian's slender fingers tightened little by little: "Do you want me to take a picture of it for you to see?"

Fei's face flushed completely red. She squeezed her legs together, knees pressed together, bit her lip, and stared at her toes, saying in embarrassment and annoyance, "You...you're so mean~"

Zhuang Nian kissed his fair earlobe, his deep voice carrying a hint of seduction: "What did you call me?"

Fei closed his eyes, gripping the animal hide on the sofa tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Sir..."

Zhuang Nian turned his head to look at him, his long, narrow eyes gleaming with a mocking light: "Anything else?"

Fei, without any backbone, obediently replied, "H-husband~"

Zhuang chuckled, carried the bewildered female soldier to the bathroom, and turned on the tap...

The cool water washed away the effects of the alcohol, clearing his confused mind and troubled heart. Fei sat on his master's lap, beaming as he looked at the ring on his hand.

The gemstone ring that represented love and marriage in the male insect's mouth returned to the female's ring finger, still locked in the position of her heart.

Although it's still the same ring, the feeling of wearing it is quite different because the meaning is different.

Fei carefully protected her hands, afraid of bumping or bruising them, cherishing them immensely.

Zhuang Nian fed him a large sesame-filled glutinous rice ball, his words carrying a hidden meaning:

"The gemstone is hard, and it's wrapped in black gold. You smashed it so hard on the ground before, and it didn't even leave a scratch. You don't need to be so careful now."

Fei regretted bringing it up, shrugging her shoulders and asking softly, "Were you particularly angry at the time?"

Zhuang Nian nodded, and Fei was about to explain when Zhuang Nian continued, "But you don't know."

Fiji:"……"

When it comes to feelings, he hates it when his lord tries to reason with him, but at this moment, he is particularly grateful that his lord is a reasonable person.

Fei, while eating the glutinous rice ball in her mouth, puffed out her cheeks and kissed Zhuang Nian on the corner of his lips, whispering ingratiatingly, "Sir~ thank you for your tolerance."

As he spoke, he scooped up a plump, white glutinous rice ball, bit it slightly with his teeth, and then fed it to his master.

Zhuang Nian was stunned for a moment. Although he was very close to this lecherous insect and had even had three offspring, he had never fed it anything like this before.

He found it somewhat unacceptable, feeling it was indecent and improper, and also thought that such a female soldier was too frivolous and reckless, so he rejected her with slight displeasure.

"Eat your food properly and stop fooling around."

Fei was stunned. He never expected that his powerful lord would not only reject him, but also be unhappy.

He blinked his golden vertical pupils at Zhuang Nian, and was about to swallow the glutinous rice ball to apologize when he noticed that the tip of the male insect's ear had turned a suspicious red.

Fei's eyes flickered slightly, deciding to take a gamble...

He placed his hands on Zhuang Nian's shoulders, pushed him back onto the sofa, then cupped Zhuang Nian's face and fed him the glutinous rice ball, biting down hard with his jaw.

Black sesame filling dripped from between his teeth. Zhuang Nian, afraid of getting it on his clothes, instinctively reached out to catch it and got half a glutinous rice ball.

Fei squinted and smiled triumphantly, sitting on the male insect's lap and swinging his legs smugly. Seeing Zhuang Nian looking at him with a look of utter disbelief, he chuckled and urged him, "Master, eat quickly, it's delicious."

Zhuang Nian stared at the female soldier, who was even more cunning than a fox, and was slightly taken aback. He kept a straight face, and after chewing a couple of times, he heard Fei say, "If you don't want to eat it, just give it to me."

Zhuang Nian: "???"

Fei lowered his head and, taking advantage of his master's momentary daze, pried open his jaw and pulled back the glutinous rice skin and sesame filling left between Zhuang Nian's teeth.

He chewed on his food, saying with a look of lingering enjoyment, "It's really delicious."

Zhuang Nian: "!!!"

Who is he? Who am I? What are we doing?

The male insect stared blankly at the female, seemingly startled by her action of snatching food from his mouth. Not only were his ears bright red, but his entire handsome face was also as red as the sunset, covered with a crimson glow.

This was the first time Fei had ever seen her male master blush; it was incredibly amusing. She was about to feed him another when she suddenly felt the male's hands gripping her waist tighten, causing her to hiss in pain.

The male insect is usually very upright; could it really be angry?

Fei hurriedly apologized, but Zhuang Nian picked him up and carried him to the bedroom.

—Including the bowl of unfinished glutinous rice balls.

After a night of madness...

Fei woke up barefoot and walked to the balcony, hugging Zhuang Nian from behind: "My lord, why are you up so early?"

Zhuang Nian set the teacup aside, pulled Fei Huan in front of him, and opened the calendar on his personal terminal. The page was set to a day a month from now...

"What do you think of this date?"

Fei didn't understand his master's meaning, so he turned his head to look at him.

Zhuang Nian kissed his lecherous son on the cheek and said, "I'm planning to get engaged today. What do you think?"

Fei: "!!!" He stared blankly at the male insect, his eyes slightly red.

Zhuang Nian also felt that the time was too short and he had to make the sacrifice, but there was nothing he could do.

The male insect protection association is always prone to breaking its promises, and has never fulfilled its promise of his freedom to marry.

Zhuang Nian wanted to get the marriage done as soon as possible. Without the position of Queen, he figured that even if those noble female insects liked him, they wouldn't want to just be servants...

Zhuang Nian wasn't the type to use sweet words. He wanted to reason with Fei to make him understand, but seeing Fei's red and aggrieved eyes, he was carefully choosing his words when the quantum computer in his hand was snatched away.

Fei turned the calendar to today, then informed the Household Registration Building to have them work overtime. He also sent a message to his personal guards, instructing them to bring their most formal and handsome military uniforms from the office to pick him up.

Afterwards, she playfully scolded her own lord:

"My lord, really, you've already given me three children, and you're still being so polite with me. It's just a wedding, no need for all this fuss. What can be done today, why drag it out for so long?"

"..." Zhuang Nian: "???"
