I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.

In the kitchen, Mikel was watching a cooking tutorial video on his personal computer, adding ingredients to the pot little by little, following the steps in the video.

Mikel hadn't cooked for himself for several years since graduating from school. He usually ate in the legion's mess hall, or at restaurants outside, or at least his family's 0123 would arrange the meals.

The Zerg are technologically advanced. Many years ago, the cooking machines launched by the Household Appliance Company could already satisfy the tastes of most of the Zerg population.

Mikel used to think that if you have time to cook, why not do something else?

However, he felt very bad seeing that the male insects could only drink those dry nutrient solutions every day.

As Cheng Chu descended the stairs, she saw Mikel wearing an apron at the kitchen doorway. His long, golden hair was smoothly tied back. His profile was like jade, his lips tightly pressed together, as if he were studying something serious. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow, and his whole demeanor exuded a cold and aloof air.

"Female Lord."

Suddenly, the male insect's voice came from behind. Mikel turned around and saw the male insect, still wearing pajamas and with messy hair, appearing at the kitchen door.

"My lord, may you have a good day."

Mikel paused the video, put down the spoon in his hand, grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands clean, and then walked towards the male insect.

Cheng Chu asked softly, "Queen, what are you doing?"

Mikel approached, straightened the male insect's turned-up collar, and said with a smile, "Master, I'm cooking. However, it's not very good. Could you taste it for me in a bit, please?"

Looking into Mikel's blue eyes, Cheng Chu nodded slowly: "Okay."

He thought to himself, "Even if I don't like it, Mikel would say it's delicious if he made it himself."

"My lord, may I touch your forehead to see if the fever is still there?"

Cheng Chu lowered his head slightly, and Mikel's cool hand touched the male insect's forehead.

Two seconds later, Mikel said, "Hmm, the temperature is normal. My lord, how are you feeling today?"

Cheng Chu was in low spirits, and he answered softly, "I'm fine."

Cheng Chu still felt a toothache and a slight headache, but he felt okay.

"My lord, would you like to sit in the hall and wait for me, or go upstairs and rest for a while?" Mikel was genuinely worried when he saw that the male insect looked rather listless.

Cheng Chu didn't want to choose either option. He grabbed Mikel's wrist and said, "No, I want to stay with you, Queen."

He'd been lying there long enough and didn't want to sleep anymore.

"Alright, Your Majesty, you will stay here with me."

Mikel moved a chair from the dining room and placed it beside him. He said to the male insect, "Master, why don't you sit and keep me company? How about you hold my personal terminal?"

"it is good."

Cheng Chu obediently sat down in the chair and took the personal terminal Mikel handed him. He pointed the terminal at Mikel so that Mikel could turn around and look at it from time to time.

Mikel tapped his finger on the screen, and the video that had just been paused resumed playing.

Next, we need to wait quietly for two minutes without stirring. While we wait, we need to prepare 500 grams of honey syrup, 80 grams of sweetener powder, 2 grams of salt, and two candied fruits…

Hearing in the video that it required preparing honey syrup and some kind of sweet powder, Cheng Chu's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, this thing is going to be so cloyingly sweet after I make it!

Cheng Chu looked up and saw Mikel with his head down, the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up to his elbows, opening a jar.

Cheng Chu looked at the jar, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He pointed to the pot of greenish, bubbling, viscous substance and asked hesitantly, "Queen, what is that?"

Why is it this color?

Why is it in this state?

Mikel opened the jar and placed the lid upside down on the table. "This is plain rice porridge," he said, "the little bug's favorite food during its teething period. It looks a bit thick now, but it won't be like that once it's done," he explained. "Crio said you need to eat something soft. Now that we have time, I'd like to try making something you like."

Mikel knew that the male insects weren't used to the insectoid food, but they couldn't keep drinking nutrient solution forever; one day they would get tired of it.

The machines are all programmed at the factory, producing identical food in every single one. Male insects don't like machine-made food, so he wants to try and see if he can make food that male insects would accept.

Cheng Chu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

well.

His wife was going to cook for him.

Unfortunately, upon hearing that such a lethal dose of sugar was to be added, he might die from the sugar even if he wasn't poisoned.

Just then, the video said again:

Alright, two minutes are up. We can put the prepared ingredients in now...

Seeing that Mikel was about to pick up the jar, Cheng Chu couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly said, "Queen, could you... please don't put this down?"

"Hmm?" Mikel turned to the male insect, holding the jar, and asked, puzzled, "Master, why didn't you put this in?"

Cheng Chu mustered her courage and said, "My lady, I...I don't like...things that are too sweet, please don't put...honey syrup in them."

Cheng Chu felt he was being too demanding, that he, who didn't cook, was criticizing his wife who worked so hard to cook.

However, if these 500 grams of honey syrup are added, he won't need to eat it anymore.

Mikel chuckled at the male insect's nervous expression, his eyes mocking, "Master, this isn't honey syrup, it's salt."

Cheng Chu was embarrassed: "..."

He then realized that Mikel had done it on purpose, and he said angrily, "Queen, you...you did it on purpose."

"My lord, I'm sorry." Mikel readily admitted his mistake. He picked up a small spoon, scooped some white crystals from the jar, and put about two grams of salt into the pot.

She turned and looked earnestly into the male insect's dark eyes, saying, "Master, I know you don't like overly sweet food, right?"

Cheng Chu: "Yes."

Mikel discussed with the male insect, "Then when I cook, I won't add any of the sweet things that are recommended in the tutorial videos. You can taste it and see if it's good. If you feel there's anything wrong with the food, or it doesn't suit your taste, please tell me, and I'll improve it. Okay?"

Being gazed at gently by Mikel's deep blue eyes felt like an electric current coursing through Cheng Chu's body, causing her heart to skip a beat.

The pot was still steaming and bubbling. The surroundings blurred instantly, and Cheng Chu could only see Mikel's clear outline in his eyes.

He calmed his chaotic thoughts, and blankly hugged the screen, replying with a "Okay".

Mikel stroked the male insect's messy black short hair, his tone slightly teasing: "Then, Master, you must cooperate with me and tell me your truest feelings. If you really don't like the food I make, you must tell me. Don't lie or be embarrassed to say it."

Cheng Chu's face immediately flushed, his ears turning red, and he whispered, "Okay."
