In the bedroom, the afternoon sun slanted through the floor-to-ceiling windows and cast its rays onto the smooth floor.

The female insect leaned against the headboard, her golden hair cascading down, a gentle light shining in her blue eyes. The usually aloof female soldier suddenly seemed to have a tender side.

Cheng Chu sat on the edge of the bed, still feeling somewhat dazed and lightheaded.

"Queen, is there really an egg in your belly?"

Cheng Chu raised his hand and gestured. Mikel's waist looked so narrow, yet he could easily wrap his arm around it.

With such a slim waist, how could there be an egg inside her belly?

It seems unbelievable no matter how you look at it.

"Hmm." Mikel had calmed down considerably by the time he got home. He chuckled and grabbed the male insect's hand. "Master, would you like to touch it?"

The female insect is physically strong, with the only period of weakness being the first month of carrying the eggs. Initially, the eggs are not fully stable, and in order to develop, the female insect will desperately consume the majority of her energy.

Mikel overexerted himself twice, prematurely depleting his energy reserves. The insect eggs, unable to absorb enough energy, protested. This explains why Mikel experienced stomach aches after both fights with the insects.

A month later, the egg completes its initial development and stops this frenzied feeding. The female insect's body returns to its initial state, or even becomes stronger, and the egg's vitality also becomes very tenacious.

Many female soldiers even laid their insect eggs directly on the front lines and then continued fighting.

Therefore, pregnant female insects are not actually that fragile. At least, not as fragile as Cheng Chu imagined.

"I...I..." Cheng Chu hesitated, his left hand resting on Mikel's abdomen under Mikel's guidance. Cheng Chu said, "Then...I'll be gentle?"

Mikel smiled and said, "Okay."

Through the thin layer of clothing, the skin beneath his palm felt hard, not much different from what he had touched before. But Cheng Chu found it amazing that there was an egg inside his flat stomach.

He moved gently, and after a while he looked up at Mikel with bright eyes, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and the bruise on the corner of his mouth looked somewhat comical.

"Master, the insect egg isn't that fragile," Mikel said. "You don't need to be so careful. It will be a month old in seven days. I will protect it well. After a month, the egg will be very strong."

Looking at the entire Zerg race, only the male Zerg in front of me would have such thoughts.

Cheng Chu shook his head: "No, I'll protect you."

In Cheng Chu's mind, a woman's ten-month pregnancy was an extremely arduous and remarkable thing. Similarly, he believed that a female insect carrying eggs was the same as a human pregnancy, requiring careful nurturing.

Because the female insects looked almost exactly like men, and were even more capable, Cheng Chu subconsciously always mistook Mikel for a man. He had also been careless and never considered the possibility that female insects would lay eggs, and he was completely unaware that insect races actually laid eggs.

That's why he was so shocked when he heard about Mikel's insect eggs today.

Mikel: "Alright, alright~, Your Majesty, would you like to take a nap with us?"

"it is good."

This day was truly full of ups and downs. After all that commotion, I even missed Chengchu's lunch break.

Cheng Chu and Mikel quickly changed into their pajamas and lay down on the bed side by side.

The curtains closed automatically, dimming the light in the bedroom and making it less glaring. Cheng Chu turned over, lying on her side facing Mikel.

Cheng Chu and Mikel maintained a distance of at least half a male insect between them.

In the dim light, Cheng Chu silently sketched the contours of Mikel's face. Long, curled eyelashes, a high, straight nose, then thin lips that looked so inviting, and next to the worm-like markings on the side of her neck. Because of the poor lighting, the pattern of the worm-like markings was not very clear.

"My lord, why are you sleeping so far away?"

Mikel suddenly spoke up, turning his head to look at him.

Male insects usually sleep close to themselves.

Cheng Chu whispered, "I'm afraid I might accidentally press on your stomach."

He was very aware of his sleeping posture; once he fell asleep, he didn't care about it anymore.

Several times when he woke up, he found himself half-lying on top of Mikel, with one arm across his stomach.

Upon hearing this, Mikel remained silent for a moment; the male insect seemed overly cautious. He thought for a moment and said, "Master, it won't happen. Even if I accidentally step on you, it won't be a problem. Besides, I want to sleep holding you."

"it is good."

If his wife wants to sleep in his arms, then let her. At worst, he won't sleep.

Cheng Chu quickly moved over, stretched out his arm to loosely put his arm around Mikel's shoulder, and stretched his legs straight out under the blanket, not daring to press down on Mikel.

It's a very awkward posture.

Mikel: "..."

Mikel rolled over and lay on her side facing the male insect. The light was really bad, and Mikel could only vaguely see the outline of the male insect.

He asked earnestly, "My lord, what are you worried about? Can you tell me?"

Mikel’s voice was gentle, guiding the male insect to speak more clearly.

Cheng Chu pursed his lips, and after a long while, he finally spoke his mind to Mikel: "I'm a little scared."

"Hmm?" Mikel didn't understand, and he patiently asked, "My lord, what are you afraid of?"

Cheng Chu: "I'm afraid of the baby, it doesn't like me. I'm afraid I won't do well, Father."

He never imagined that he would become a father at this age, a baby's dad.

He was disliked by his parents from a young age and was left to grow up wildly on his own. He never received love from his parents, and he felt that he didn't know how to be a good father.

The responsibility of raising a child is too great; he's afraid he can't handle it. He's also afraid that once the baby is born, he won't like him. After all, he's neither outstanding nor exceptional.

The male insect's words revealed a lack of self-confidence, but isn't the premise of worry and fear care and attention?

Because they take it too seriously, they are afraid that they are not doing enough.

Mikel felt a warm current run through his heart, and he also noticed that the male master kept calling the insect eggs "baby".

He smiled silently, reaching out to stroke the short hair at the male insect's temples. He said, "Master, the baby will definitely love you. You'll always be the best male father."

Cheng Chu grabbed Mikel's hand as he stroked her hair, her voice filled with excitement: "Really?"

Mikel said solemnly, "Yes, really."

The male master is the best male insect, and will also be the best male father in the future.

Under the soothing influence of Cheng Chu's spiritual energy, Mikel was the first to succumb and nestled comfortably in Cheng Chu's arms, falling asleep peacefully.

Cheng Chu's arm was resting on Mikel's head, and he held Mikel tightly in his arms. Listening to Mikel's shallow breathing, he was too excited to sleep.
