I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.
Chapter 71 My Tooth Hurts, My Queen
When Cheng Chu was awakened by thirst, it was already broad daylight outside.
Cheng Chu felt weak all over, and even the breath he exhaled from his nose was hot.
"My lord, you're awake?"
Mikel's gentle voice, filled with tenderness, enveloped Cheng Chu as he placed the cool back of his hand on the male insect's left cheek.
Mikel breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that the temperature wasn't so high anymore and that the temperature had finally come down.
"How are you, my lord? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Mikel was still wearing the pajamas from last night, her long golden hair flowing smoothly down her back, and her blue eyes gazing tenderly at Cheng Chu.
"Water..." Cheng Chu's voice was hoarse. When he opened his mouth, his right cheek ached, and he had difficulty speaking.
A large glass of water was already prepared on the bedside table. Hearing that the male insect wanted to drink, Mikel quickly helped him sit up and placed a pillow behind his back.
Mikel handed the water glass to the male insect: "Master, water."
Cheng Chu took the water glass and gulped it down in no time. His parched throat was finally soothed by the water, and he felt revived.
Mikel took the empty cup from the male insect and placed it on the table. Then she took out a tissue and gently wiped the water stains from the male insect's lips with her hands.
Cheng Chu stared blankly at Mikel's handsome face so close to hers, still somewhat unable to react.
Seeing that the edge of the fever-reducing patch on the male insect's forehead was peeling up a bit, Mikel reached out and smoothed it down. He asked with concern, "Master, you had a fever this morning. How are you feeling now? Are you hungry?"
When Cheng Chu woke up, she felt sore all over and her head was a little dizzy. When she met Mikel's concerned gaze, she felt a lump in her throat for some reason, and a feeling of inexplicable grievance welled up in her heart.
Cheng Chu's eyes stung, and they instantly filled with tears. He quickly lowered his head, not wanting Mikel to see.
"What's wrong?" Mikel cupped the male insect's drooping face in his hands, his right cheek gently pressed against it. He watched as tears streamed down the male's face, and his heart ached. He asked, "Master, why are you crying? Is your tooth hurting too much?"
Cheng Chu's voice choked with emotion as she said, "Yes, my tooth hurts."
Cheng Chu didn't understand why she couldn't help but cry after Mikel had only shown her some concern.
He'd been sick before, and many times he'd endured it all by himself. No one poured him a glass of water, no one cared about him, and he never cried.
He felt it was a bit embarrassing to cry over this, and he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he just went along with Mikel's words.
Cheng Chu lowered her voice, covered her face with her right hand, and repeated with a pitiful pout, "My lady, my tooth hurts, it hurts so much!"
The male insect's black eyes were moist, and its voice was filled with unconcealed sobs and grievances.
Thinking the male was truly in great pain, Mikel leaned forward and hugged the pitiful creature, stroking its hair with her right hand. She awkwardly offered words of comfort: "It's alright, it will be alright, Master."
Mikel really didn't know how to comfort a sick male insect, and his words were rather dry and uninspired.
The pain and fever that adult male insects experience when their mandibles grow open are unavoidable, and these pains can only be endured by the male insects themselves.
Krieo said that male insects cannot be given medication to reduce their fever; they can only be cooled down physically.
Toothache and fever have turned this usually lively male insect into a sickly state. Only Cheng Chu, who is experiencing it now, truly understands the pain he is going through.
Cheng Chu couldn't help but hug Mikel and cry. Exhausted from crying, she fell asleep.
Mikel wiped away the male insect's tears and tucked him in. He stayed by his side, constantly monitoring his body temperature. Every now and then, Elijah's personal terminal would pop up with messages, which Mikel would reply to whenever he had a spare moment.
In the afternoon, because Cheng Chu was not feeling well, Mikel did not have the tutor come to class.
When Cheng Chu woke up, he didn't want to lie in bed, so Mikel made him sit on the sofa in the living room and watch the news.
Cheng Chu leaned listlessly against Mikel, his eyes looking outside, his mind not on the big screen at all.
Mikel was replying to a message on his personal terminal when Cheng Chu suddenly asked in a low voice, "Female Lord, aren't you at work?"
"Hmm." Mikel tapped two points on the personal terminal and said, "The master is ill, I need to stay home to take care of you."
A secret joy rose in Cheng Chu's heart, but she said aloud, "I'm fine, my lady, you don't need to tomorrow."
Taking care of him for one day is enough; Mikel doesn't need to take the day off tomorrow. Whether Mikel is there or not won't affect his toothache and fever.
"No, Master." Mikel disagreed. He put down his personal terminal and looked at the male insect, saying, "You're feeling unwell, I can't go to work and ignore you. I'll take care of you until you're better. I've already taken leave, so you don't need to worry about that."
Cheng Chu lowered her gaze, suppressing the upward curve of her lips, and softly uttered an "Oh".
Just then, the suspended 0123 floated over, and a mechanical voice announced: "Your Excellency, General, the working insects of the Male Insect Protection Association have come to visit."
The videos of male insects fighting on the StarNet went so far that the working insects of the Male Insect Protection Association had to step in to resolve the issue.
The door opened, and leading the group was a red-haired, yellow-eyed female insect, followed by three uniformed working insects.
And so, Cheng Chu met Laureen, the vice president of the Xiongbao Association, once again.
"Your Excellency Cheng Chu, General Mikel, good day. We meet again." Laureen walked in slowly, holding her identification in her hand. Her gaze fell on Cheng Chu's somewhat pale face, and her light yellow eyes darted around, taking in the hall.
Mikel's cold gaze swept over the female insects who entered, and he said indifferently, "I wonder what brings the vice president of the Male Protection Association, along with his working insects, to my home?"
"Master, would you like to go up first?" Mikel said in a low voice to the male insect standing beside him before Laureen could answer.
This time, Laureen from the Male Protection Association came with great force, making the male insect uncomfortable. Mikel didn't want him to be entangled by Laureen, so he thought he should go upstairs to hide for a while.
Cheng Chu looked at the several female insects who had suddenly arrived, somewhat worried that they weren't here for anything good. He remembered that the female insect leading them wasn't a good one. He gently shook his head at Mikel and whispered, "No, Queen, I won't go up."
Cheng Chu understood that these female insects were probably there because of the fight between him and the red-haired male insect at the Stingy Star Beast Garden, and he couldn't leave Mikel to deal with it alone.
Laureen smiled faintly, feigning kindness, and said, "Lord Chengchu, you seem to be unwell, please sit down. However, Admiral Mikel, your lord cannot leave now; we are here to see Lord Chengchu."
