The gentle, sickly beauty is a cold and aloof general.

"It's already very kind of you to agree to grant me this privilege. As for what happens next, I can communicate with Sai Xuya personally."

Yixuan thanked Atal, said goodbye politely, and left Atal's room.

"Atar, do you think Saixuya will accept that male insect named Yixuan?"

Jun Ming hugged Atal from behind, kissed Atal's earlobe, and asked curiously.

"I don't know either."

"When I came back, I asked Sai Xuya Lin, and he didn't even know Yi Xuan's name before I told him."

"Moreover, Sai Xuya Lin is only focused on overthrowing the tyranny of the empire. Yi Xuan has a long way to go before he can be accepted by Sai Xuya Lin."

"Hmm...it really wasn't easy."

Jun Ming sighed.

"Is everything packed? When do we set off back to the main planet?"

Atal took out his personal terminal, contacted the various teams, and only after receiving affirmative answers did he address Jun Ming's question.

"They've all packed up, and the military base has been restored to its original state. We'll set off immediately."

Each squad received Atar's orders and took their positions.

Some of the insects remained at the military base.

With their mission successfully completed, the First Legion's Zerg departed towards the main star.

Yixuan wasn't interested in when he would return to the main star; in fact, he hoped to return a little later so he would have plenty of time to spend with Saixuya.

At dinner time, all that was needed for Sai Xuya was to give him a nutritional supplement, but Yi Xuan felt that he should eat something.

Since Yixuan is a male insect, he is allowed to do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't involve anything confidential. Therefore, Yixuan's actions of preparing dinner for Saixu Yalin were not stopped.

Holding the carefully prepared rice bowl, Yixuan returned to the doorway once more.

Dao Ling reached out and stopped Yi Xuan from knocking on the door.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yixuan, this isn't a place you can just walk into casually."

"Besides, how can I let you do something as simple as delivering meals?"

Dao Ling clearly recognized Yi Xuan.

"Uh... I brought food to Saixuya Lin with General Atal's permission."

"And I don't do anything else."

"The main purpose is to check on Saixu Yalin's mental state. After all, he can't be allowed to get into trouble before Saixu Yalin returns to the main star."

Yixuan tried to use this reason to persuade Daoling.

But Dao Ling remained unmoved, still stretching out her arm to block Yi Xuan.

"Lord Yixuan, if the female insects being held inside become uncontrollable, we will notify you immediately."

"You don't have to do that."

Dao Ling reached out to take the tray from Yi Xuan's hands, but Yi Xuan took a step back and refused.

"I'm sorry, everything I did was legal and compliant, and it was also permitted by General Atal."

"Even if I can't go in, it's only because Sai Xuya refuses me that I can."

Ever since leaving the Luanse Star System from Saixuya Lin, Yixuan has been restless, his mind filled with thoughts of that red-haired female insect.

The female insect he had been concerned about for so long was right behind the door, just a step away from him, but he was stopped.

Therefore, Yixuan is inevitably a little anxious now.

Faced with Dao Ling's rejection, he abandoned his easygoing attitude for the first time and became firm in his stance.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just as Yixuan and Daoling were arguing, there was a knock on the door from inside the room.

"Why are you two arguing in front of my door? What happened?"

Sai Xuya's actions were also a reminder to Dao Ling that this was a starship of the First Legion, and they absolutely could not reveal anything that would be seen by other female soldiers.

Dao Ling opened her mouth, about to answer Sai Xuya's question, but before she could speak, Yi Xuan interrupted her.

"Saew-yah-lin, that's me, Yi-hsuan."

"The male insect you came into contact with in the Luanse Galaxy."

"I've prepared some dinner and brought it over to you. I'll take this opportunity to check on your mental strength now."

"May I come in?"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan ask Sai Xuya about Lin, Dao Ling lowered her arm that was blocking the door.

Dao Ling felt that his leader would not meet this male insect, and that what this male insect was doing was meaningless, so he stopped trying to stop it.

Sai Xuya remained silent for a while, without making a sound.

Yi Xuan thought that Sai Xu Ya Lin hadn't heard him clearly, and was just about to say it again when Sai Xu Ya Lin's voice came from behind the door.

"I can't remember how many male insects my Luanse Galaxy has come into contact with, so who knows which one you are?"

"Special insects will deliver nutrient solution to me daily, so you don't need to worry about it."

Sai Xuya's deliberately distant words came from behind the door.

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan stood there stunned.

He considered many possibilities: he thought Sai Xuya would remember him and welcome him in, or he thought Sai Xuya had already forgotten him and would only remain indifferent.

I never expected Sai Xuya to be so unrestrained and indifferent.

"...I prepared dinner myself. Nutritional fluids are ultimately just for filling your stomach; they don't taste very good."

"It's okay if you don't want to see me now. I've left the food at your door. Remember to eat it, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Yi Xuan continued talking to himself, his tone inevitably becoming somewhat dejected after being rejected by Sai Xu Ya Lin.

However, she still placed the tray she was carrying at the door of Sai Xuya's room.

"Take good rest. If you need my help, please feel free to contact me anytime."

"My personal computer's contact number is right next to the tray. I'll be there whenever you need me."

After Yixuan finished speaking, he waited quietly for Saixuya's reply.

But no more sounds came from inside the room; it was very quiet, as if the insects inside had fallen asleep.

Having received no reply, Yixuan didn't hold out much hope. After waiting a while longer, she reluctantly left.

After Yixuan left, Saixuya suddenly opened the door and stared blankly at the corner where Yixuan had left.

"...Should I finish this dinner?"

Back in the military headquarters, it wouldn't be appropriate to continue calling Sai Xuya Lin "leader" and addressing him by his name directly, but Dao Ling felt that was disrespectful. Since she really didn't know what to call him, she simply stopped calling him anything.

Sai Xuya listened to Dao Ling's words before turning her gaze to the tray that Yi Xuan had placed on the ground.

A bottle of nutrient solution, a serving of food, and a note on the edge of the tray.

The above is a string of numbers.

It should be the personal computer number that Yixuan mentioned.

After looking at it for a while, Sai Xuya squatted down, took the nutrient solution, and didn't touch the food that Yi Xuan had made.

When Sai Xuya was scribbling over the note, her hand paused for a moment, but she only pretended to touch it casually before removing her hand.
