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

The black-haired male insect is aloof and has always been calm and reserved in matters of the heart. This little misunderstanding is truly rare, making the female insect feel that he might still care about her...

Fei didn't want Zhuang Nian to misunderstand, knowing that his master was a particularly decisive and efficient person, and dared not let him misunderstand.

The female soldier pointed the camera at the bulge beside her, lifted the blanket, and explained, "I sleep alone, this is an insect doll."

As the name suggests, an insect puppet is an insect-shaped robotic puppet used to relieve the loneliness of female insects.

They are made of a new type of material, and their joints, weight, temperature, and height are all modeled after male insects. They can move, laugh, and talk, and their faces can be changed according to preference.

Since there are so few male insects, and some insects live their entire lives alone, insect pairs are very popular among female insects.

Many sub-females who are not troubled by mental issues and do not want to marry insects will even regard insect puppets as their soulmates for life. Some female soldiers who have little savings or cannot get married because they work in clerical positions will also use insect puppets for entertainment.

No matter how perfect the insect puppet is, it can't compare to the enjoyment of mating with a handsome, god-like SSS-class male insect like Zhuang Nian.

Fei didn't use the insect puppet to relieve his loneliness. He only set the insect puppet to the simplest temperature mode so that it wouldn't be so cold when he cuddled it to sleep.

After explaining, the female soldier felt a little annoyed. She thought about how she used to cling to the male insect every night when they were together, and now that she had told him she had bought an insect puppet, she wondered what the male insect, with his upright nature, would think of her...

Fei added, "I only turned on the temperature mode, I didn't do anything else."

If it were any other human, upon hearing the words "insect puppet," they might immediately think of "doll," and then perhaps "inflatable doll," but Zhuang Nian wouldn't.

The black-haired male insect was raised with strict discipline and was very chaste; he would never think of anything erotic.

He saw the insect puppets as a kind of toy, like the large plush dolls his cousin liked. The only strange thing was why the female soldier had suddenly taken a liking to these children's toys?

Zhuang Nian glanced at the two troublesome kids and recognized the environment in the video as the military's lounge. He considered asking why Fei was sleeping there, but then thought, "They've already separated, why should I meddle?"

The male insect said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."

The female soldier replied somewhat awkwardly, "It's okay..."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Both the person and the insect awkwardly looked away from each other through the screen.

Zhuang Nian turned the camera to Zai Zai's side, reminding them to turn off the lights and rest at nine o'clock sharp, and then go to the study to handle their work.

Hearing the door close, Fei asked the children, "Where's Daddy?"

The kids didn't know, and said, "Let's go!"

It was a dark and windy night...

Like Zhuang Nian, Fei couldn't help but ask, "Where did they go?"

Zhuang Nian, who had forgotten to take his personal computer, turned around and pushed open the door. The children immediately pointed the camera at him again, asking in their childish voices:

"Father~ Father~ is asking you~ where~ you~ went?"

Fei, who was sold out without any warning: "..."

He didn't have the same mental fortitude as the male insect, who could remain calm and composed after being sold out, saying "Sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy." Looking at the male insect on the screen, he just wanted to explode on the spot.

Fei immediately hung up the video call, turned off the communicator, and threw it out the window as if it were burning hot.

That's utterly shameful!

The two babies slept soundly that night, keeping their parents, who had been sold, awake until dawn.

The next day...

While Zhuang Nian was inputting the names he had come up with for the two cubs into the computer and waiting for verification, he called the two cubs to his side.

Zerg have weak kinship ties; "brother" is just a general term for a relationship. Zerg do not call each other "older brother" or "younger brother"; they all use their names.

The two babies were twins, and they hatched from the egg together. Zhuang Nian didn't know how to determine who was the older one, so he simply let them draw lots to decide.

The two little ones treated this as a game, unfolding the crumpled paper in their hands to show their father.

A note read: "[Brother, Zhuang Zizheng]"

One of the notes read: "[Younger brother, Zhuang Younan]"

Zhuang Nian asked the two cubs, "Do you know what 'brother' means?"

The children shook their heads, grinning as they nestled on their father's lap, their clear, vertical pupils blinking at him with eyes full of affection.

"Brothers are blood relatives, like hands and feet. They are the closest relatives in the world besides your parents. No other insect can take your place in each other's lives..."

The two little ones looked at each other, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Zhuang Nian said to his eldest son, "Zizheng, you will be the older brother from now on. You must love, protect, and indulge your younger brother. More importantly, you must set a good example for him and be a role model for your brother and a source of pride for your father."

He then said to the second brother, "You Nan, from now on you will be the younger brother. Your older brother will put you first. You must respect and honor your older brother and always think of him. You must strive to become an excellent insect so that your older brother and father can be proud of you."

The male insect's words were a bit profound and difficult for the two-year-old chicks to understand, but that's okay, as long as they can keep their male father's words in mind.

Zhuang Nian had the two cubs stand facing each other, put their little hands together, and said, "Now let's get to know each other again, okay?" He patted the younger cub's bottom and let him speak first.

Looking at her brother who looked exactly like her, You Nan said shyly in a low voice, "Brother~ Brother~"

Zizheng was also embarrassed. Looking at his younger brother, who looked exactly like him, he whispered, "Brother~ brother~"

Zhuang Nian gave them an apple.

The two cubs remembered their father's words and were very polite to each other, drooling all over the place.

Zhuang Nian smiled, cut the big, bright red apple in half, and told them, "From now on, you should help each other and learn to share."

The two little ones nodded, looking bewildered, and handed their respective apples to their father, saying in their soft, sweet voices:

"Daddy~ Here, have some~"

Undoubtedly, this is the best age for them to receive an education; they not only grasp concepts quickly but also apply them to other situations.

Zhuang Nian has been both a father and a mother to the two little ones for so long, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved by the reward. Although he wasn't interested in apples, he still bent down and took two bites from the little ones' hands.

I patted their heads with great satisfaction.

The broad, thick hands provided shelter from the wind and rain, and the two little ones loved it most when their father patted their heads; it made them feel loved and cared for.

They climbed up Zhuang Nian's trouser leg to his knee, each one of them taking over Zhuang Nian's knee, happily swinging their legs while crunching and munching on apples along the teeth marks left by their male father.

Zhuang Nian felt the heavy, soft weight on his knees and quietly watched them.

It's said that children are debts owed to their parents in a past life, but he doesn't think his own children are.

The two cubs are smart, well-behaved, and filial. If we could bring them home, the elders would surely adore them, and they might even become child prodigies that everyone marvels at. It's just that their vertical pupils, unique to animals, are a bit of a problem...

The two cubs, seeing their father staring intently at their eyes and brows, grinned at him with their white teeth and crescent-shaped eyes, their smiles as sweet as if they had eaten candy.

Zhuang Nian snapped out of his daze, had the two newly bought nanny robots take care of the babies, and then got ready to attend the cocktail party.

There wasn't much to pack: a white shirt, black suit pants, and a pair of spotless black leather shoes. To be honest, compared to the other male insects dressed in fine clothes and adorned with expensive jewelry, he looked incredibly shabby.

But...

Zhuang Nian became the focus of attention as soon as he appeared.

Curry leaned against the railing of the second-floor platform and caught a fleeting glimpse of the swarm of insects. He saw the black-haired male insect walk over with a straight posture, handsome and dignified face, one hand in his pocket. All the insects unconsciously made way for him.

"He's much more handsome than the rumors said!"

Curry's beauty mark at the corner of his eye twitched slightly, and he said to his brother, whom he hadn't seen in many years, with a hint of eagerness:

"Fei, is this the SSS-level male insect you used to follow? I'm really interested in him too, what should I do? You won't be angry if I pursue him, will you?"

Fei, dressed in a blue and white military uniform, scoffed with amusement, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

"Oh?" Curry raised an eyebrow, pointing to his face, which bore a striking resemblance to Fei's. "This face alone isn't enough?"

Fei looked at him with icy eyes and a frosty expression.

Curry chuckled: "I heard he used to dote on you the only one, but I don't believe it. I just want to try and seduce him with this face and see if he'll be unmoved~"

"You dare!" Fei blurted out, barely able to contain himself.

Curry clicked his tongue: "Why wouldn't I dare? Even if you two broke up, or even if you were together, I still have the right to pursue him, and he has the freedom to choose me. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to stop me?"

Fei's face twitched slightly. Curry's words were harsh, but what he said was true.

Curry, chin in hand, watched the male insect slowly descend the steps and asked with a touch of nostalgia:

"Do you remember when we were kids? Every time I complained, your useless female father would just kneel on the nails and beg, and the more he begged, the angrier the male father became."

"My greatest joy when I was a child was watching you two do silly things. It's a pity that my father died young and you were kicked out of the house by my mother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so bored all these years."

"But it's alright. Coulson's businesses have already moved to the main planet, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I'm sure a lot of interesting things will happen."

"Oh, by the way! I heard that the two insect cubs beside Lord Zhuang Nian look exactly like you? Then they must look a lot like me, right? I wonder if they were as stubborn as you when they knelt on the nails and didn't cry?"

Fiji:"……"

Curry first insulted his deceased father, then mentioned his two pups, and even threatened to seduce male insects, truly hitting his sore spots and triggers every time he spoke.

When the traumatic childhood and the scene before him amplified his hatred and rage, Fei could no longer contain himself and slapped Curry hard across the face, which bore a striking resemblance to his own.

Look……

The submissive woman, having succeeded, curled her lips into a slight smile, let out a scream, and tumbled over the railing.
