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

"Because I like you."

"From the first moment I saw Atal, I knew that Atal would hold a long place in my heart."

I will like and accept everything about you.

Jun Ming stared intently into Atar's eyes through the mirror, his expression serious.

The hands that rested on Atal's shoulders tightened slightly, allowing Atal to clearly perceive his presence.

Atal considered many excuses.

It could be because of his own property; it could be because of a forced match he couldn't refuse; it could be that Junming simply didn't care who the female attendant was, so he was completely indifferent.

I never imagined it would be such a simple yet extraordinary reason as "liking".

Atal's face flushed crimson instantly, and he stammered, "My...my lord, you...I..."

Jun Ming was charmed by Atal's helpless state and deliberately softened his tone.

"Atar, don't worry, I will do what I say."

"The problems you are worried about are not big issues in my opinion. There is no need to deliberately change anything. Just leave everything to time."

Jun Ming reached out and lightly brushed Atar's nose.

"alright."

"Hurry up and get the clothes out."

"Otherwise, Dun Dun will come and urge us to eat in a little while, and I don't want to listen to its nagging."

Then Junming turned around and opened the clothes that had been delivered to his home.

Atar was caught off guard by Junming's intimate gesture, and he could almost feel the touch of the male insect's fingers on the tip of his nose.

Atar can never resist being touched by a male insect, and it seems... she even looks forward to it.

Realizing what had happened, Atar quickly stepped forward and helped the male insect tidy up the clothes he had bought for him that day.

Only after tidying up did I realize how many clothes the male insect had bought for himself today.

All kinds, all colors.

The male insect seems to really enjoy dressing me up nicely.

Atar thought to himself as he looked at the clothes that had been arranged in front of him.

Atal's gaze swept across the wardrobe, and he had already chosen what to wear tomorrow. If the male insect liked it, he would naturally be willing to put in more effort.

After tidying up his clothes, Jun Ming opened the small box.

Ignoring the rough stone, he first took out the pair of teardrop-shaped pendants.

"Does Atal have pierced ears?"

"How about I make these into earrings for you?"

Atal raised his hand and touched his earlobe.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've never had my ears pierced. But I can get one pierced right now."

When Junming heard that Atal didn't have pierced ears, he felt a pang of regret. He thought that if the pendant were made into an earring and worn by Atal, it would look absolutely stunning.

When Jun Ming heard Atar say that he could fight one right away, his eyes lit up.

"I don't have pierced ears either. Once I finish making the earrings, we'll get them pierced together."

As if he had thought of something, Jun Ming looked up at Atar with sparkling eyes.

"Atal, did you know? There's a saying about getting your ears pierced."

"The bug that accompanied you to get your ears pierced for the first time, you'll be together again in your next life."

Jun Ming reached out and grabbed Atal's wrist, pulling him slightly closer and leaning him forward.

The two insects were very close together, their noses almost touching.

"Would Atal be willing to give me the chance to accompany you for the first time to get your ears pierced?"

Jun Ming deliberately lowered his voice and murmured softly.

The male insect's scent lingered before his eyes, its warm breath brushing against Atal's cheek. At such close range, Atal could even hear Jun Ming's heartbeat.

This situation rendered Atar incapable of thinking, and he answered instinctively.

"...I'm willing."

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and the surrounding temperature rose steadily. Jun Ming and Atal drew closer and closer, until the distance between them was almost negligible.

Atal leaned against the mirror, Jun Ming supported himself with both hands, encircling Atal in his arms, and they were about to kiss.

At that moment, Dundun suddenly burst through the door, rolling into the house while yelling.

"Master insect, master insect, two master insects."

"Hurry downstairs and get ready for dinner, Dun Dun. I've already prepared the meal."

Jun Ming and Atal were jolted awake as if struck by lightning, and hurriedly separated.

"Dundun!"

"Don't you know you should knock before entering?"

Enraged, Junming raised his hand to hit Dundun. Seeing that things were not going well, Dundun immediately turned around and ran downstairs. Junming chased after Dundun and ran out as well.

Atal stood still, slowly relaxing his body, leaning against the mirror, his palms pressed tightly against the mirror surface.

Feeling the slightly cool temperature coming from my palm, I gradually calmed down.

Just now... was the male insect trying to kiss itself?

This idea kept popping up like mushrooms after rain, leading Atal to make wild guesses.

He patted his still-burning cheeks, composed himself, and put the earrings and the raw stone back into the small box. Only then did Atal get up and go downstairs.

Junming, whose good time had been interrupted, did not hold back this time. He did not play around with Dundun. He went down the stairs, caught up with Dundun, and slapped Dundun on the head.

"From now on, when Atal is alone with me, you must knock first and wait for my permission before coming in, understand?"

Dun Dun was so wronged.

Originally, it was meant to be a meal for Junming and Atal, and it was the first time Junming had asked it to cook. So Dundun was naturally very excited and wanted Junming to taste the meal it had programmed.

As a result, when I pushed open the door, I saw Jun Ming suddenly take a step back. While I was wondering if the two main insects had quarreled, Jun Ming raised his hand to hit Dun Dun.

Dundun had no idea what was happening, but it knew it was going to get beaten up, so it immediately ran away, but Junming still caught it.

I got slapped and then a new rule was established for me.

"Understood, Master Insect."

Poor little Dundun silently went to the kitchen.

Even after being beaten, he still had to prepare and arrange dinner for Junming and Atal.

When Atar came downstairs, Dundun had already set out the food, and Junming was already sitting and waiting.

"Atar, come quick! Dundun is waiting for us to praise him."

Dun Dun circled the dining table twice, saying, "Yes, yes."

"DunDun is a high-demand home robot."

Atar couldn't help but chuckle, raising his hand to pat the chubby, round head.

"DunDun is amazing."

Satisfied with the praise, Dun Dun left the restaurant, ready to go to the backyard to pick some fruit for dessert.

"Atar, stop talking and eat."

Jun Ming waved his hand, beckoning Atar to go eat.

"After you finish eating, take a rest. Before going to bed, come to my bedroom again."

"Let's try mental soothing again tonight."
