    Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Shadowy Bed-Crawling Bugs ×2

    Yao was completely unaware that he had become the center of a campus storm. The public opinion ferment on the Star Network did not disappear due to the suppression of mysterious forces; instead, it ushered in a more violent backlash.

    At this moment, the little Male Bug was still troubled by his clingy friend. He was almost exhausted from being pestered by Aibei all day, and his peaceful campus life had vanished.

    Although he didn’t blame his friend, at school, the murderous aura in the eyes of Aibei’s protectors was almost palpable.

    Yao had never experienced this before. Since hatching, most of the Female Bugs he had encountered were gentle and loving. One look at him and their paternal love overflowed, giving him the stars if he wanted them, and the moon if he asked.

    Who could understand that one second they would maintain a gentle, spring-breeze-like smile towards Aibei, and the next second they would turn to him and immediately give him a death stare, their fierce eyes seeming to say: If you have the guts, don’t run after school!

    Aibei, who didn’t understand the meaning of low-profile, openly used his privileges to have the principal open the back door wide, transferring him to audit the class Yao was in.

    Yao looked listless, like a frost-bitten eggplant. His pure-blood, translucent red eyes were concealed by a disguise device. No one could have guessed that such an unremarkable “Female Bug” had stirred up such a storm of public opinion.

    Those Bugs outside suspected that he had used some kind of unscrupulous new hallucinogen to secretly control Aibei’s mind, causing a noble Male Bug Prince to be unable to leave him.

    Even without any evidence, those bugs were clamoring to send Yao to court for trial.

    If the little follower Aibei knew, he would definitely jump out to explain that he and Yao were good brothers who grew up in the same cradle. What’s wrong with being a little close? He was Yao Yao’s most beloved darling~

    Yao wanted to pretend to be a Female Bug to complete his studies and avoid his male parent’s all-pervasive surveillance, to stay in Central Star and study normally, but he didn’t want to be watched like a monkey.

    Aibei: Buggy is sad~ Beta Star is no fun without Yao. He couldn’t understand a single word of the Male Bug Academy teacher’s lectures. He was single-mindedly trying to fly to the capital star to play with Yao. Every day without Yao was torment.

    This was a chance he had gotten after pestering his male parent endlessly. Aikman was so angry that he broke several teaching canes before he finally got it.

    Even if it was a father-son relationship, one Male Bug harming another Male Bug was an absolute heinous crime. Bug Clan law absolutely did not allow harming Male Bug hatchlings.

    Aibei wanted to cry but had no tears. But who was his male parent? He was the chief representative of the Male Bugs. Half of the Male Bug Protection Code was written by his father.

    If he went to the Male Bug Protection Association to seek insect body protection, he would only be invited back to his male parent to admit his mistakes by that group of sycophants.

    After experiencing so many hardships, he finally managed to get his male parent to reluctantly agree to let him enter Central Star, to pretend not to know Yao at school. Wouldn’t his beating be in vain?

    “Is Yao feeling unwell?” During lunchtime, the academy’s classroom was empty. Most of the students had gone to the cafeteria to eat. Only the little Male Bug was sitting alone in the corner.

    Yao, who had finally managed to get rid of Aibei and his flower-guarding team, looked up. It was Harrik, the academy’s only Male Bug instructor, a famous unattainable beauty in the academy.

    “The teacher brought your favorite small sweet cakes. Would you like to go to the teacher’s lounge to eat something and take a nap? You look very tired,” Harrik said with a smile, gently reminding him.

    “What kind of bewitching trick did that bad Female Bug use! Wuu!! Teacher Harrik actually smiled at him. The little green tea refused my male god’s cakes!! Disgusting! Not knowing what’s good for you! This grudge is noted in my little notebook.”

    “What do you know! This is called playing hard to get. He must have used some trick to bewilder Lord Harrik.”

    “The little green tea is so weak? He even needs the teacher to help him up.”

    Hiding outside the classroom, Female Bugs who were secretly simping over Harrik gritted their teeth, condemning Yao while honestly recording the details of Yao and Harrik’s interaction.

    So Teacher Harrik liked this type of Female Bug. If he can do it, I can do it too! I’ll copy, copy, copy!

    High-level Female Bugs had exceptionally sharp senses. They could even clearly see Yao frowning and avoiding Harrik’s affectionate touch as if he had been electrocuted.

    “!!!”

    “Disgusting! Is he asexual? He actually ‘pushed’ the teacher away.” (Yao: …Uh… I was clearly dodging, okay? Which hand did he push with?)

    Knowing that Harrik had taken the initiative to approach, and that Yao was aware of avoiding suspicion, the Female Bugs with raging anger in their chests didn’t care about that at all, placing all the blame on Yao.

    The Female Bugs who could enter the Central Military Academy were mostly from wealthy and powerful families. They were a group of proud elites, all just adults, at the age of being thorny, and it was difficult to have a good impression of Yao, who could be knocked down with a single finger.

    Originally, everyone didn’t have much impression of this invisible bug in the class. Quiet and well-behaved, with an ordinary appearance like a fragile little flower vase, and dating a social Female Bug from outside the school. None of this concerned them.

    What made everyone feel unfair was that this classmate of theirs seemed to have a naturally attractive Male Bug physique.

    Not only was the only Male Bug instructor in the school being hooked by him, but even Aikman, the Arbiter who had just come to Central Star for exchange, had his only Male Bug son seduced.

    That was a top-level pure-blood in the Bug Clan, not to mention the status of Aibei’s powerful father. There were very few existences like him in the entire Bug Clan.

    In Central Star, how many high-level Bug Clan members were not supported by family power? Naturally, they couldn’t say that they relied entirely on their own efforts, step by step, to achieve their current success.

    Everyone turned a blind eye to Yao, the connected one, and wouldn’t show obvious exclusion. When Yao had lessons he didn’t understand, they would occasionally show kindness and lend a hand to teach him.

    But why was a classmate who was last in physical fitness and could be blown away by the wind able to become a wealthy family’s son-in-law? Good, good, good! In this day and age, there were even Female Bugs who ate Male Bug’s soft rice?

    Disgusting! Shameful! He had lost all the face of Female Bugs.

    It was clear that the official textbook on “Female-Male Interaction Guidelines” explicitly stated that only Female Bugs who protected the Federation and made outstanding contributions to the Federation were qualified to be matched with adult Male Bugs for love under the coordination of the intelligent brain.

    Female Bugs without enough contribution points were not qualified to touch Male Bugs. As for Female Bugs who ate soft rice, they were even more intolerable. They could be drowned by spit alone.

    Under the deformed Female-Male ratio, Male Bugs without support were easily traded as scarce resources to those in high positions of power. The Male Bug Protection Association had been reorganized and reformed many times, but it still couldn’t prevent malicious criminal events of plundering Male Bugs.

    “I’m sorry, teacher, I’m not hungry or sleepy. There’s no need to trouble you,” the well-behaved student Yao blushed severely, thinking that he had been caught by the teacher for dozing off in class.

    “Is that so? But you clearly…” Yao’s rejection was too obvious, and Harrik lowered his eyes in dismay. “Yao Yao, did the teacher do something wrong that made you dislike me?”

    “Don’t you dislike the teacher, okay? I… I thought you would like it.”

    Harrik clenched the exquisite lunch box in his hand. This was something he had learned from the Star Network for a long time…

    The silver-haired Male Bug’s snow-white eyes were filled with heartbreak: “If Yao Yao doesn’t like it, I can do other things.”

    “I don’t dislike you! I don’t dislike the teacher! Don’t get excited,” the socially awkward i-Bug Yao pursed his lips tightly, not caring about avoiding suspicion, and quickly supported the tottering Harrik.

    After much pushing and shoving, the beautiful lunch box with a white bow, which was obviously a Male Bug-specific style, still ended up in Yao’s hands.

    In the lounge, Yao, who was mentally exhausted, prepared to take a short nap. He was really sleepy. The little Male Bug was used to sleeping on a soft bed and hadn’t been able to adapt to the environment of the military academy.

    Yao usually lived off-campus, but the school had prepared an exclusive dormitory for him. In order not to expose his Male Bug identity, he used the same supplies purchased uniformly by the school.

    The room had a faint scent of freshener. The intelligent robot conscientiously cleaned the spotless room.

    The stabilizing ingredients in the air smoothed the little Male Bug’s slightly furrowed brows in his sleep.

    “Sleep well! Good boy… Yao Yao.”

    Behind the thin gauze curtain, Harrik murmured to himself. The dessert on the table hadn’t been touched. He had good vigilance.

    He didn’t know if he had gone too far the previous few times, and the little Male Bug had sensed something was wrong.

    Harrik sat down on the edge of the bed and looked closely at Yao’s face, thinking slightly. He took off the ring on his hand that might hurt the skin, and then his slender fingers reached into the little Male Bug’s collar.

    After groping for a moment, the disguise chip was removed, revealing the little Male Bug’s true face.

    Harrik admired this perfect face, so beautiful that it didn’t seem like a real bug, without blinking his eyes.

    “Cute.”

    “I want to take a bite.”

    Harrik suppressed the appetite that was crazily emerging from his mind, his thoughts like a tangled rope, impossible to untie.

    “Like a small sweet cake…”

    A morbid crimson spread over the Male Bug’s originally fair neck, and his earlobes were burning.

    Harrik thought he should leave immediately and take an inhibitor to calm himself down.

    The chaotic brain made him want to get closer uncontrollably, and his hot breath brushed over the back of the little Male Bug’s neck, “Sweet.” Only by getting extremely close could he smell a faint trace.

    Unfortunately, since they were both Male Bugs, the same-sex pheromones couldn’t smooth his heat. If he stayed any longer, his pheromones would be uncontrollable.

    “──Uncomfortable,” a secret desire grew in the depths of Harrik’s silver-gray eyes. “Next time, next time I won’t let you go.”

    Harrik looked at the little Male Bug in front of him, enduring the headache, restored the disguise chip to its original position, tucked in the corners of the blanket, and ran away as if he were fleeing.

    “Yao Yao, are you there? Let’s go eat! I booked a really fun restaurant,” Aibei, who had searched the classroom, had just knocked on Yao’s dormitory door when he suddenly found that the door wasn’t locked.

    The door opened with a push, and the unremarkable little Female Bug with freckles on his face was already asleep. The quiet and well-behaved appearance was indeed a bit pitiful.

    “Yao Yao──” The boisterous Aibei almost immediately lowered his voice and drove the bodyguard escorts who were trying to enter the room to confirm his safety out, “Yao Yao is taking a nap, you guys go out.”

    “You’ve been so tired lately, did that bad Female Bug do it? How dare he bully Yao Yao, I’ll teach him a lesson next time!” The sulky Aibei propped up his chin and admired his friend’s sleeping face for a while.

    Aibei, who had a “Yao Yao Supremacy Doctrine,” could unceremoniously praise this disguised ordinary appearance for a hundred and eighty thousand words of beauty.

    To the extent that the accompanying bodyguards suspected that their young master was possessed by a ghost, or that his aesthetics were different from ordinary people, and he couldn’t distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

    “I want to sleep with Yao Yao, you guys go guard outside!” Aibei raised his chin, revealing the style of a capricious young master, without realizing that there was something wrong with saying to a group of bodyguards that he wanted to sleep with a Female Bug in the military academy.

    He and Yao were the same age, and they were at the age where they could legally mate or even marry a Female Consort.

    Several of the bodyguards who were traveling with him this time were loyal subordinates specially transferred by Aikman, and their strength was outstanding.

    They were not yet familiar with Aibei. They only knew that he was a pure-blood Prince, a non-marital illegitimate child that their superior Aikman had taken home under the guise of adoption.

    Continuing from the Old Dynasty era to the present, the conservative pure-blood families regarded themselves as noble. Only the Female Consort had the right to give birth to offspring, and they were extremely disgusted with illegitimate children.

    Almost no illegitimate children could grow to adulthood. Bug eggs contaminated with lower-class blood would be aborted in the early stages of gestation. Even if they were lucky enough to be born, they would die for various reasons.

    It was difficult not to suspect that it was a coincidence or that some Bug had deliberately used means.

    In short, illegitimate children born into high-blood families had no status at all, and even lived worse than ordinary citizens, facing the threat of death at all times.

    The Arbiter had entrusted this young master to them. What if he really produced an illegitimate child?

    The unlucky ones would be them at that time. Not to mention that promotion was hopeless, it would be good if they weren’t angered by Lord Aikman. They might be dismissed from their jobs and investigated, and forced to operate a sewing machine until they died.

    “No way!”

    Amid the horrified gazes of a crowd of bugs, Aibei slammed the door shut.

    “Bug cub!!! Ancestor ah~ Young master!! Remember to take measures!”
