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

An apology must be sincere, and Zhuang Nian was very sincere.

only……

Humans and insects are different, from their genes down to every single molecule and cell.

Zhuang Nian used all his strength, but only managed to tear Fei's mouth and slightly tilt his head. Fei didn't even need to use all his strength; even half of it would have been enough to easily knock Zhuang Nian's head off.

Therefore, Zhuang Nian's solution is neither realistic nor in line with Fei's original intention.

The female insect induced the male to slap her in order to exploit his guilt and create an opportunity to reconcile, not to retaliate and further damage their already fragile relationship. Besides...

He couldn't bear to part with it either.

Fei pursed her lips, gently rubbed her face against Zhuang Nian's palm, and looked into his eyes as she said, word by word, "I like you and love you so much, how could I bear to hurt you?"

Zhuang Nian: "..."

He really wanted to say that the pervert was being cheesy and saccharine, but the pervert's eyes were so sincere.

Those cold, golden vertical pupils were filled with self-image, clean and untouched by any impurity, as if confirming what he had just said: he truly liked himself and loved himself.

Zhuang Nian was momentarily at a loss for how to deal with Fei's straightforward, naked, and sincere confession. Seeing that Fei didn't accept his apology proposal, he awkwardly touched Fei's fair earlobe and asked him:

"Is there anything you want?"

Great! We've waited so long! This is exactly the effect we wanted! That one sentence!

Fei was a little excited, her vertical pupils curving slightly with a hint of joy, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish. She wrapped her arms around Zhuang Nian's neck and gently nibbled at the corner of his lips, asking, "Can I have anything I want?"

For example, forgiving yourself~ marrying yourself as the queen~ letting yourself bear him a few more baby insects~ from now on, only having yourself as the insect, no other insects~ watering yourself at least three times every night, and not forcing yourself to shower afterwards~ giving yourself kisses and hugs often~ telling yourself you like and love yourself~ calling yourself Fei Bao~

—And many more like this.

Zhuang Nian nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

Fei Jiu... um...

My male is always like this; he doesn't act on emotion or get carried away with passion. Even at this point, he won't make any promises rashly, but will leave room for compromise and ask me to explain.

What does this mean?

This is a very subtle way of telling yourself not to make unreasonable requests, otherwise he won't agree.

Fei had a thousand thoughts in his heart and a thousand words on his lips, but in the end, he only uttered a few simple words: "My lord, I'm sorry."

Zhuang Nian was slightly taken aback, not knowing what he meant.

Fei spoke with some difficulty: "Regarding my previous disregard for your feelings and my willful decision to go to the battlefield while pregnant with the insect eggs, I hope you can..."

Before Fei could finish speaking, Zhuang Nian's expression changed and he stood up.

Fei hurriedly threw himself onto Zhuang Nian's back, tightly hugging his waist from behind, and said:

"My lord! I have no face to ask for your forgiveness! I only hope you can accept my apology! I hope you can give me a chance to make amends! I really only hope you can accept my apology! That's all! My lord!"

Zhuang Nian remained silent and did not speak.

That incident has always been an unbridgeable chasm between them, like a fishbone stuck in their throat or a knife in their heart; just looking at it hurts.

Fei knew that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have another chance to ask his master for something, so he said anxiously, "You asked me what I wanted! This is what I want! Are you going to go back on your word and disagree?"

Zhuang Nian frowned: "I only asked you what you wanted, I didn't say anything was possible. What? Are you trying to twist the facts and force me to accept your apology?"

Fei hurriedly shook his head, his eyes reddening with anxiety, and said in a hoarse voice, "No, my lord, that's not what I meant, that's not what I meant..."

Zhuang Nian pulled Fei's hands off his waist, turned to look at Fei, and after a moment of silence, suddenly asked him, "Have you ever regretted it?"

Fei: "My lord..."

Zhuang Nian's eyes were cold and piercing as he stared at him: "Tell the truth."

Fiji:"……"

At that moment, a myriad of emotions surged within him. The standard answer, without a doubt, would be to weep bitterly and express regret, to prove his remorse and apology. But…

Fei thought of his female father, the days when he was young and depended on his female father for survival, and the fact that his female father was also someone who was connected to him by blood and could not be separated from him. Avoiding Zhuang Nian's gaze, he shook his head somewhat evasively.

Zhuang Nian knew the answer, but he wouldn't let him go. He grabbed Fei's chin, made him look into his eyes, and said coldly, "Speak."

Tears welled up in Fei's eyes and fell with a soft thud. After biting her lip and staring at Zhuang Nian for a long time, she said through her tear-filled eyes, "...No..."

Zhuang Nian let go and went to hug the two baby insects in the quilt.

Fei had already started to sob the moment he shook his head, and now, seeing his master go to hug the two little insects in the blanket, he wept even more, clinging to Zhuang Nian's arm and pleading:

"I'm sorry, Master! I didn't mean to lie to you! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! That was my female father! I can't watch his remains lie scattered outside! I want to avenge him! I want to bring him home! I really can't abandon him!"

"I love our insect babies too! I love them! Please believe me! Please believe me, okay?"

"You've been so good to me! You've given me so much! Please, please don't give up on me, okay? I really don't know how I could live without you and the little bugs. I beg you! I beg you!"

The female soldier became emotional, crying and shouting, while the male was pounced on and pinned to the bed, unable to speak or even breathe.

The two insect chicks had never seen anything like this before. They huddled under the covers, their golden vertical pupils shriveled into tiny, flattened circles from fear. Misty tears welled up in their large eyes, and they trembled uncontrollably behind the pillow, emitting soft, mournful cries like those of small animals.

Zhuang Nian felt a sharp pain in his chest from the horny bugs pressing against him, and his handsome face was covered in wet tears and snot from Fei. He pushed Fei away in disgust and said irritably, "What are you doing? You scared the kids!"

Fei is in a complete panic right now! She's so upset she could die!

He clung to his master's shoulder with his eyes closed, wailing, "You don't want me anymore, and you're taking the children away with you. You won't let me see them again. What's the point of me living? Waaah~"

Zhuang Nian's forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Can you stop making things up? It's so late, we need to feed the kids."

Fei: "Woo~ woo~ woo~ Hmm?"

Zhuang Nian wiped Fei's tears and snot from his face with a tissue, then put his arm around Jun Ci's waist and held the crying, red-faced worm in front of him, saying with disdain, "Are you made of water? How can you cry so much? Hurry up and clean yourself up! We're eating out tonight, so don't throw worms at me."

Fei: "Hmm... Ugh? Ugh? Ugh?"

Even after they arrived at that century-old shop in the city center, Fei was still in a daze.

After several months of persistent and unwavering efforts, he finally persuaded his lord to accept his apology and reconcile with him about the past.

Fei followed behind Zhuang Nian, carrying two somewhat timid insect cubs. Seeing the female insects coming and going, their eyes filled with hearts, she quickly pursed her lips, composed herself, and stood arrogantly beside her male master with her chin slightly raised.

—Touch the baby in your arms and let it purr a few times.

Let me tell you, black-haired male insects do have families!

Some insects recognized Zhuang Nian and Fei, which was strange:

"Didn't they dissolve their marriage? Why are they still appearing together?"

"Whose are those two insect babies in Commander Fei's arms? Are they Lord Zhuang Nian's?"

"No way! No way! They didn't get back together, did they?"

"Oh my god~ don't tell me this is true~"

Zhuang Nian, wearing a hat and mask, was already used to being stared at like a monkey. He put his hand on Fei's shoulder and told him to watch his step: "Watch the steps."

The male insect was very considerate and gentlemanly, appearing somewhat gentle. The female's wariness towards other insects immediately turned into the shyness of a young girl in love.

Fei leaned against his master's chest, his eyebrows and eyes radiating sweetness and happiness. If it weren't for his reputation as a war god on the battlefield, his submissive appearance would have given him the air of a timid tiger clinging to a woman.

This was the same restaurant Zhuang Nian had visited before when he was working in the military, for a department dinner. The food was just as delicious as he remembered.

Fei recognized the pastries on the plate and happily ate them while chatting with Zhuang Nian: "Master, were the pastries you bought for me before from this shop? They taste really good."

Zhuang Nian hummed in agreement, but didn't tell Fei...

Actually, when he first came here, he thought of bringing him to try it, but one thing after another happened, and Zhuang Nian was too busy to care about anything else. Today, he finally fulfilled the one-sided promise in his heart.

Because the male insect is always a reserved and pragmatic person, he never makes empty promises or talks about what he has done or given, so the female insect is unaware that there is a special meaning behind this meal.

On the way home...

Zhuang Nian carried pastries, while Fei held two sleeping insect babies. They strolled along the Qingcao River to digest their food and discussed the future of Blue Star.

As they were talking, Zhuang Nian suddenly stopped and looked back.

Fei laughed and said, "They're just a few tagalongs; Your Majesty need not concern yourself with them."

-

Qiao Sheng still hasn't given up on finding Huo Si, and his focus remains on Fei.

The only valuable clues that came back were that Fei often skipped work to go to Blue Star.

Not only Fei, but also insects like Xiuer who had connections with Hoss, all came up empty-handed.

Qiao Sheng looked at the two insect babies that had been unintentionally captured in the photo, and kicked an insect egg away from his feet.

The subordinate cautiously asked, "Should we continue to send insects to keep an eye on Commander Fei?"

Qiao Sheng's face was full of gloom as he waved his hand and said:

"No need. A female soldier worn down by love wouldn't dare to mess with me."

"I don't want to see him and that black-haired male insect showing affection anymore. I'm withdrawing my insect hand and expanding my search to other planets."

"No matter where you are, whether you live or die, you must find him for me!"
