Chapter 1: The Engagement Partner is the Head Teacher

    “What’s your name?”

    “Yao.”

    This was the first time Chen Xing had encountered such a disheveled Male Bug in distress.

    The situation was very tricky. Chen Xing dragged the dying little Male Bug onto the deck.

    The gorgeous and intricate white gauze dress, soaked and clinging to his pale skin, outlined the Male Bug’s slender figure.

    The Male Bug was coughing violently, almost coughing up his entire lungs. A faint blush appeared on the Male Bug’s soft face, both abrupt and beautiful.

    In the common perception of Female Bugs, Male Bugs are rare, beautiful, noble, and fragile beings.

    But in Chen Xing’s view, this Male Bug was excessively beautiful. Even among the royal nobles of Central Star, where beautiful bugs are as common as clouds, his appearance was extremely outstanding, as perfect as the illustrations in standard Male Bugeducational publications.

    The young Male Bug had been floating in the water for who knows how long. Fortunately, the Male Bug had a pair of thin, translucent silver-gold wings that provided a slight buoyancy, just enough to support half of his face and barely keep it above the water.

    When Chen Xing picked up the Male Bug, her fingers inevitably touched the Male Bug’s bare shoulder blades. This was an extremely offensive and impolite behavior.

    Therefore, the moment she rescued the little Male Bug, Chen Xing immediately withdrew her hand to avoid causing any psychological discomfort to the Male Bug.

    The Female Bug lowered her head and silently pinched her fingers together. The faint pheromone scent of the little Male Bug lingered on her fingers. This level of skin contact would take at least twenty-four Star Hours to completely dissipate.

    “Thank you,” the little Male Bug said, coughing.

    Chen Xing keenly noticed the glittering silver clasp chain around the Male Bug’s ankle and the wedding ring on his ring finger.

    It was a light pink diamond ring as beautiful as the little Male Bug’s eyes.

    Still unaware of what had happened, Chen Xing could easily infer from the Male Bug’s white wedding attire that he had been attending some important ceremony.

    Perhaps a wedding? Chen Xing speculated.

    Jade Stone Sea is famous throughout the interstellar for its natural scenery, not only is it a tourist destination for the Bug Clan, but also a well-known wedding photo and honeymoon destination.

    “Sir, where is your Female Consort?”

    A Male Bug who looks so young is already married? Chen Xing felt a little complicated, but then she thought it was normal.

    This delicate and soft appearance does indeed make him look very young.

    Since there were no extra clues to extract from this Male Bug named Yao, Chen Xing could only use his Female Consort to start a conversation.

    Although Jade Stone Sea is mostly calm, it is possible that occasional local waves could sweep away a little Male Bug.

    In this case, a Female Consort who fails to protect her Male Lord is definitely seriously negligent.

    Under normal circumstances, a Male Bug should be surrounded by many powerful Guard Female Bugs. Chen Xing didn’t understand how they allowed the precious Male Bug to be swept into the waves under their noses.

    “Female Consort? I don’t have a Female Consort.” Leaning against the mast, Yao, catching his breath, hugged his knees and responded softly.

    However, the Female Bug opposite him obviously didn’t believe him, her gaze shifted to his finger, her eyes filled with doubt.

    Yao’s body stiffened, then he quickly turned around, took off the ring, and threw it into the sea without the slightest hesitation.

    “No Female Consort.”

    Perhaps because he felt guilty, Yao’s tone was a little rushed, and he repeated it uneasily, the water droplets on his eyelashes falling in a slight tremor.

    The priceless ring was thrown into the sea without hesitation, and the Male Bug’s face didn’t reveal any reluctance, as if he had thrown away an ordinary pebble.

    The atmosphere in the air was a little subtle. The little Male Bug’s clumsy actions made Chen Xing overturn her previous assumptions.

    The Male Bug’s behavior didn’t look like an accidental fall into the water at all, and he reacted strangely to the question about hisparents/family, avoiding answering all the time.

    Chen Xing couldn’t force the Male Bug to answer questions like interrogating a criminal bug.

    Especially when being stared at by such a pair of beautiful, pink gemstone-like eyes, Chen Xing felt that even raising her voice slightly would be a crime.

    At this time, it was close to sunset, the waves on the sea were very large, and white mist had risen. The little Male Bug had been soaked in the sea for so long and was shivering from the cold.

    Yao was invited into the cabin by the Female Bug. This was an ordinary small intelligent yacht with a small interior space.

    There are thousands of these small yachts rented to tourists on Jade Stone Sea.

    Yao wrapped himself tighter in the small velvet blanket. The unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar bug made him feel uncomfortable all over. Yao had no experience of being alone with a Female Bug like this, and could only shrink awkwardly on the sofa, afraid to move.

    When Chen Xing, who had finished filling the bath water, came out, she saw the little Male Bug looking pitiful, miserable, and as if he wanted to wipe away tears.

    The Male Bug was still full of youthfulness, perhaps…he hadn’t even tried to kiss…

    Chen Xing uncontrollably looked at the Male Bug’s slightly parted, sensual lips, her eyes dark and unclear.

    A kiss would probably make him cry for a long time, right?

    Hard to coax… forget it…

    He thought he might have been dazed by the pheromone scent that the little Male Bug left on his hand, which suddenly gave rise to this evil desire.

    The Female Bug helplessly lowered her voice and gently reminded: “Sir, the bath water is ready, go take a bath and change your clothes quickly, don’t catch a cold.”

    After floating on the sea and spitting out bitter and salty seawater bubbles for a day, Yao finally relaxed his tense nerves when he immersed himself in the warm water.

    Outside the closed bathroom door was a mature Female Bug whose flesh was as hard and strong as steel, gentle and considerate, and very gentlemanly…

    But the bug said that he would be sent to the Male Bug Aid Station tomorrow, and Yao’s heart sank again.

    He had tried so hard to avoid being monitored and ran away from the cruise ship on the eve of the engagement. If he was sent to the Aid Station, he would be caught back by hismale parent without even thinking about it.

    Yao’sWill, came from the Red Ruby Family, known for its beauty and wealth of star mineral resources, which controls most of the Bug Clan’s star mine resources. His Female father(female parent, Chris, is a renowned 3S-grade admiral in the Empire’s army.

    Since theYao’s custody was awarded to the Majestic father(male parent by the court.

    Although Yao, who is eighteen years old, is already an adult, for protection purposes, the guardianship period for fragile Male Bugs is doubled in the Bug Clan’s laws.

    In the Bug Clan, where the average lifespan is over three hundred years, Yao still needs to rely on the protection of hisparents/family between the ages of eighteen and thirty-six.

    During this period, most parents will arrange suitable Female Consortcandidates for their little Male Bugs, teaching them how to properly get along with their Female Consorts.

    Every year, there are endless reports of Male Bug trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion cases on the Star Network, which are reallyhard to guard against.

    Before ensuring that their Male child finds a stable and reliable Female Bug who can safely spend the rest of his life, most parents dare not easily relax their guardianship of their little Male child.

    The biggest reason why Yao ran away from home was the marriage partner arranged for him by hismale parent.

    A Female Bug from the Corso Family, who is also the youngest brother in hismale parent’s new incumbent female consort’s family.

    The fiancé is more than a hundred years older than Yao, and thebug who used to be called little uncle on weekdays suddenly became his fiancé, but this is not the point.

    The point is that the Corso Family has always been the manager of the Beta Star Male Worm Academy. Yao really couldn’t spark any love with this respected elder who had watched him grow up from the time he was learning to speak.

    Dating the Head Teacher??

    Too scary! Absolutely not…no! This marriage cannot be concluded!!

    Hisgentle and considerate, not Freckle(careless in life, and the important thing is to be able to take care of you. As long as you don’t hate them, you will naturally like them more after spending more time together.

    This kind of Female Bug born in a scholarly family with deep artistic accomplishments is a rare existence in the Bug Clan. They can usually generate spiritual resonance with Male Bugs more easily.

    To put it plainly, this type of Female Bug has more time to spend on Male Bugs, so they can more easily close the door and live a sweet and romantic life.

    Will also had a shadow from his failed marriage with Chris. A Female Consort who didn’t return home for many years and focused on promotion seemed as cold and hard as if the Male Bug was just a tool for solving physiological needs.

    It would be strange not to be depressed in the long run. Will didn’t want his child to repeat his mistakes.

    Yao was really scared by the fact that hismale parent, who used to love him, was unusually stubborn when it came to choosing a Female Consort for him.

    [Tell a ghost story: Your fiancé is the Head Teacher!]

    [It’s okay to get married if you don’t hate them.]

    [You’ll be fine after spending more time together.]

    Yao was directly awakened by a nightmare. Not hating and liking are two different things!

    He doesn’t hate the Head Teacher, and even if he likes him, it’s only the admiration of a normal student for a teacher. There can’t be any ambiguous thoughts.

    If it were anything else, Yao might not dare to risk his life by jumping into the sea to resist, but the thought of marrying a Female Bug with that kind of identity made him get goosebumps all over his body and feel terrified.

    Unfortunately, in his eagerness to escape the marriage, the panicked little Male Bug misjudged his physical strength.

    Yao had swam for more than ten minutes the distance of more than eight hundred meters from the cruise ship to the coastline, which a healthy Female Bug could swim in two minutes. He just watched helplessly as the waves pushed him farther and farther away.

    For the first time, the little Male Bug experienced what it was like toto be utterly helpless.

    Then a big wave hit and knocked the exhausted little Male Bug unconscious. He didn’t even know how long he had been floating at sea.

    The wings of Male Bugs are all decorations, beautiful works of art, as fragile as their bodies, and completely useless for flying.

    Yao used to dislike his shiny, flapping wings for being useless, but he didn’t expect that one day he could develop their lifebuoy function.

    Hanging on the hanger was a set of oversized cotton soft pajamas, a white T-shirt and shorts, without patterns, simple and refreshing.

    After washing off the salty sea smell and getting warm, Yao stepped out of the bathroom barefoot.

    “I’m sorry to trouble you to rest here for one night, sir. The ship will not be able to dock until at least eight Star Hours.”

    The Female Bug patiently explained the next arrangement, “The bugs at the Male Bug Aid Station are all strictly trained. You can ask them for help with any problems you have. Don’t be afraid.”

    Chen Xing tried to persuade the little Male Bug not to act alone outside. The outside world is not as beautiful as the Male Bug’s Garden of Eden. If you encounter an accident, you won’t even have a place to cry.

    “I really didn’t encounter any trouble. I just came out for a walk and accidentally fell into the sea. My home is in Central Star. I’ll take the return starship back tomorrow.”

    Yao pursed his lips and explained in a panic, but his words were obviously full of loopholes.

    In order to appease the emotionally uneasy Male Bug, Chen Xing politely didn’t expose him, and discussed that she must see the little Male Bug board the interstellar flight with her own eyes before she could rest assured.

    For Yao, he had taken the flight from Beta Star to Central Star many times and was very familiar with the route.

    HisWill didn’t deliberately prevent Yao from meeting with hisfemale parent Chris. After all, the little Male child couldn’t lack the love of his Female father(female parent.

    Hisbut after all, she was different from his biological Female father(female parent. Will only hoped that his little Male child could grow up healthy and happy.

    In the past, Yao would spend one or two months in Central Star during the winter and summer vacations every year. Chris was a militaryfemale, and even if she was busy on weekdays, she always tried her best to squeeze out time and find ways to take time off to spend more time with Yao.

    Now, the little Male Bug plans to go to Central Star to find hisand wait until his Majestic father(male parent agrees not to force the marriage before going home.
