In the garden, both Cheng Chu and Mikel had some dirt on them.
Mikel was fine; he looked clean and tidy. Cheng Chu, on the other hand, was covered in sweat and dirt after his initial excitement.
They went inside the house.
"My Lady." Cheng Chu gripped one side of her garment with both hands; a dark brown stain stained the white fabric. "I want to wash it."
It's so dirty.
Mikel: "Yes, my lord."
Mikel said, walking upstairs to prepare clean clothes for the male insect.
It's still early; it's not the usual time for the male insects to bathe. Normally, when it's bath time, Mikel will prepare a change of clothes for the male insect in the bathroom beforehand. Then she'll remind him that it's time to bathe.
The bathroom was filled with steam, and hot water was automatically dispensed from the bathtub. Mikel squatted beside the tub, reaching out to test the water temperature, while Cheng Chu stood awkwardly to the side.
"My lord, the water is ready. Please take a bath. I'll go get you some clothes." Mikel said to Cheng Chu before leaving.
As a female, serving the male a bath is the most basic thing to do; it's what a female should do. When Mikel first tried to serve the male a bath, she was refused. When the male abducted her, he blushed and stammered "no" as he was asked to bathe him, and then pushed her out of the bathroom.
The male insect seemed shy and refused to be bathed by him.
The female cannot disobey the male's wishes, so later Mikel only prepares the male insect for a bath.
Mikel went to the dressing room and picked out a beige loungewear set.
Mikel knocked on the bathroom door. "Master."
Cheng Chu, completely naked and covered in soap, was diligently washing himself. A sudden noise startled him, and he jerked his arm out, accidentally knocking over several bottles of toiletries on the counter.
A series of clanging sounds followed, and things fell to the ground.
Cheng Chu's heart tightened, and before he could say anything, the door was pushed open.
"My lord, what happened? Are you alright?"
When Mikel heard something fall, he assumed it was the male insect slipping and knocking it over. Without asking the male insect's permission, he anxiously pushed open the door.
The door opened, and there stood the male insect, frantically covering his genitals, still standing there unharmed. Several bottles of toiletries were scattered on the wet floor; Mikel breathed a sigh of relief that the male hadn't slipped.
"Queen, I...you..."
Cheng Chu blushed and stammered, it was a truly embarrassing scene.
He desperately wished Mikel would turn around and leave right now, so he could comfort himself that none of this had happened.
But clearly, Mikel couldn't read minds. Seeing the male insect's embarrassed expression, he walked in, amused.
"My lord, I'm so glad you're alright. I heard the noise and was worried you might have fallen, so I rushed in." Mikel placed the clothes he was carrying on the dry table and asked with concern, "My lord, did you hurt yourself somewhere? Let me see."
Mikel rolled up his sleeves and walked straight toward Cheng Chu, as if he was about to give him a full-body examination.
Cheng Chu disregarded her shame and resolutely turned around to hide in the bathtub.
"Queen... I won't kowtow. Please, leave, okay?"
He really didn't bump into anything there, so there's no need to test him.
"Oh, my lord, slow down, the floor is slippery."
Mikel was delighted to have witnessed the male insect's alarmed reaction.
He bent down to pick up the bottle from the ground and put it back in its place. When he turned around, he saw the male insect with its arms crossed over its chest, its black pupils staring wide-eyed at him.
Mikel smiled happily at Cheng Chu and deliberately said, "Since the master doesn't like me bathing you, I'll go out first."
Cheng Chu watched the female insect leave, and then considerately closed the door behind her.
He quickened his shower, only to realize belatedly that something was amiss.
Was the female insect doing that on purpose?
After Cheng Chu finished showering and came out of the bathroom, she finally realized that he had just been teasing her on purpose.
Before Cheng Chu could go and ask Mikel for clarification, the doorbell rang.
Cheng Chu saw Mikel and 0123 talking to two female insects wearing blue and white work clothes at the gate from upstairs.
"Good day, Your Excellency Mikel. We are employees of the Perge Orchard. You ordered the Daily Fresh Fruit Package from our store yesterday, and we are now delivering it to your door."
The two working females each held a clean, intact green box in one hand and unfolded their credentials for Mikel to see.
"If you are satisfied with the products in our store, please give us a positive review on your mobile phone. Thank you."
Mikel gestured for 0123 to step forward and take the box. The working female insect, with keen insight, handed the box to 0123.
Mikel said thank you in a low voice, "Thank you."
The two working female insects bowed politely, "Excuse me, have a nice day."
"Yes, have a nice day."
The two female insects left, and Mikel closed the door and turned to walk back. Just as she reached the hall, she heard the male insect's voice from above.
"Hmph!" Cheng Chu leaned on the second-floor corridor railing and snorted heavily. He deliberately waited until the outsiders left before making a sound.
Sure enough, the female insect below quickly raised its head and spotted him.
Mikel smiled as soon as he saw Cheng Chu, pretending not to know the male insect was angry. "Master, you're done washing. Come on down. This is something I bought especially for you, come down and see if you like it."
Cheng Chu was taken aback, only hearing the female insect say, "I bought it especially for him."
It was intentional.
Cheng Chu pointed to himself, "Female Lord, did you buy this especially for me?"
For a moment, Cheng Chu completely forgot that he was angry and suddenly became happy.
Mikel quickly grasped the words the male insect mentioned. He beckoned to the male insect above, his eyes gentle, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, male, would you like to come down and take a look? I chose very carefully, and it took me a long time to place the order."
Sure enough, the male insects' eyes lit up.
"Me," Cheng Chu said immediately, "I want to see it."
Cheng Chu restrained himself as he came downstairs, but his movements still betrayed a hint of urgency, and his brows were filled with undisguised anticipation.
