IHNMSL Chapter 49
by VolareChapter 49: Eternal Lover
A strange Female Bug.
“Don’t cry…” Yao comforted him blankly, like he usually did with the crying Ethan.
However, Yao’s awkwardness didn’t last for even two seconds before the Female Bug wrapped an arm around his waist, picked him up, and pressed him tightly into her embrace.
“Thinner…” the Female Bug murmured.
Suppressed emotions erupted. Yao’s face was forced against the Female Bug’s chest, and he could hear her chaotic heartbeat. He couldn’t see the Female Bug’s tears, but he could feel her sadness and self-blame.
If it were normal circumstances, Yao would have already lashed out at the other party with a whip, treating him like a lecherous pervert.
His control over his spiritual power had become more adept during this period, quick, accurate, and ruthless, enough to send the other party to meet the Bug God.
For some reason, Yao felt a little reluctant.
Forget it, Yao thought, this is just a Female Bug with some kind of mental issue, so he won’t bother arguing with her.
Ethan and Xiao Wen recognized Chen Xing.
Only the little radish head thought that his brother was really being harassed, and got anxious and angry, biting without thinking.
The sharp teeth of the little Bug cub were so fast that Xiao Wen didn’t even have time to stop him, becoming a blur.
“Don’t!” Yao exclaimed in alarm.
Chen Xing freed one hand, grabbed the little radish head by the collar, pulled him back, and tossed him to the nervous Xiao Wen, who looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Xiao Wen had experienced the strength of this Female Bug when they first met, so he quickly stopped his brother, who was still trying to recklessly pounce and save his handsome brother.
“Take me home, okay?”
By the time Yao was put down, the Female Bug had composed herself and returned to normal.
It’s just that Yao looked at the hand that was still being held tightly, his ears red.
“I think… these two big Female Bugs… holding hands all the time isn’t really appropriate? Can you let go…”
They’re not children. People will think he’s a pervert. Yao knows he shouldn’t argue with a crazy person.
“No, if I let go, you’ll run away.”
The Female Bug shook her head, firmly refusing.
“Don’t you need a smart robotic bug? I’m much more useful than those metal lumps. I can take care of children, I can cook, and I can warm your bed. I can do anything…”
“Uh… warm the bed? I don’t need that… No, wait, I haven’t even agreed to take you in yet.”
There are already four people in the family. Adding another adult Bug is not going to work, Yao thinks he will be under too much pressure, a robotic bug is better, it just needs to be charged.
Perhaps hurt by Yao’s rejection, the Female Bug stubbornly held his hand, not saying a word, drooping her head like a homeless puppy.
“Did you just immigrate here like me, with no diploma, no skills, and unable to find a job?” Yao suddenly realized.
Is she so hungry that she’s trying to steal Ethan’s milk bottle?
Seeing the Female Bug so pitiful, Yao inexplicably agreed to take the Female Bug home.
If Yao knew the Female Bug’s true colors, he would definitely regret it.
This is no little puppy, this is a big bad wolf who can devour him completely, one soft-hearted agreement now, and there will be countless more soft-hearted moments and indulgences in the future.
Killier, the Major General, who thought Chen Xing would definitely be rejected, was secretly gnashing his teeth. Damn it! No… Is their little Highness too easily deceived?
Just like that, he brought that beast home?? Without any precautions?
Killier silently lit a candle for Yao. One shouldn’t pick up random Female Bugs outside. His Highness, such a kind Male Bug, will only learn his lesson after eating a few more oranges [idiom meaning: getting tricked].
This guy has offended His Highness so many times, but His Highness always indulged him, and it seems that amnesia is no exception.
If the little Highness didn’t mind, Chen Xing’s head would have fallen off eight hundred times already.
No wonder he has the ability to be a Female Consort.
Back home.
Yao was a little troubled. When he rented the place, he hadn’t considered that someone else would be moving in, so there wasn’t a separate guest room.
“There are no extra beds in the house.”
Chen Xing: “It doesn’t matter, we can sleep together, I don’t mind.”
I mind, aaaaah!
Yao was speechless: ……
“I mean, I’ll buy you another bed. You’ll have to suffer and sleep on the sofa for now.”
He didn’t buy a robotic bug, and instead brought home a Female Bug with mental problems. Yao was really tired.
The first thing Chen Xing did upon entering the house was to observe Yao’s place. Good, the little Male Bug is cautious with outsiders and hasn’t let in any unwanted vixens.
The Female Bug made up her mind to cook first, she can’t let Yao go hungry.
It was obvious that Yao hadn’t been eating properly during this time. A Male Bug’s stomach is fragile, and they easily get sick and need to be hospitalized if they’re not careful.
The Female Bug opened the refrigerator, and it was empty, not even a single vegetable leaf, only a pile of nutrient solutions in the most prominent place, and Ethan’s milk powder cans.
Sweet nutrient solutions, labeled for consumption by cubs under ten years old, are obviously for the little Bug cub. The price isn’t low, and they can replenish many of the nutrients needed for the development of female cubs. They’re better because the ingredients are safe and healthy.
Even Ethan’s milk powder had been switched by Yao to a Male Bug-specific type. Chen Xing looked around and couldn’t find anything for Yao himself.
In the bottom drawer, he found a few bottles of ordinary nutrient solution, the cheapest Male Bug nutrient solution, which can only replenish the most basic elements needed to sustain life.
He really doesn’t take his own body seriously, Chen Xing was so angry he didn’t know what to say.
Seeing the Female Bug’s dark face as he looked at the nutrient solution, Yao naturally assumed that he was starving.
“This nutrient solution was a gift when I bought milk powder for Ethan. You can try it to see if it tastes good.”
Yao doesn’t actually have high demands for taste, but his glass stomach doesn’t allow it. He vomits easily if he eats the wrong thing. This is one of the few nutrient solutions that he can use.
As for those Male Bug nutrient solutions that are too expensive and he can’t afford, Yao doesn’t even consider them.
Chen Xing worked quickly and neatly, and after briefly familiarizing himself with the environment, he tidied up the house.
Killier, a Major General, like a thief, willingly and devotedly passed the fresh ingredients that Chen Xing needed in through the window.
For the sake of His Highness’s health, he should drink less of this junk food like nutrient solution.
Killier didn’t realize that their troops had always eaten nutrient solution as their main food, and he himself had eaten junk food his whole life.
Chen Xing quickly and simply made four dishes and a soup.
Looking at the newly renovated house and the hot food on the table.
“Did you make all of this yourself?” Yao was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say.
“Yeah…”
“I’m very useful, Yao Yao, keep me here,” Chen Xing pleaded.
Even if Yao wanted to drive him away, Chen Xing would try his best to stay. If Yao continued to live alone like this, he would go crazy.
“Delicious (? > ?) ”
This time, the little radish head and Xiao Wen were very supportive.
His taste buds, which had suffered so much, were finally satisfied, and Yao’s brows relaxed. “Chen Xing, you’re so amazing, it’s a hundred times better than the restaurants outside.”
Yao’s eyes changed when he looked at Chen Xing, burning hot, as if he had grabbed a shining savior.
Sure enough, the first step to winning over a Male Bug is to win over his stomach. After being together for so long, the little Male Bug had unknowingly fallen in love with Chen Xing’s cooking skills.
After eating, Yao volunteered to help Chen Xing wash the dishes, but before he could touch the water, he was coaxed out of the kitchen by the Female Bug.
Before, he was thinking about buying a nanny robotic bug, but now Yao had completely dismissed the idea. Although the Female Bug’s mental state wasn’t very good, his cooking was really delicious.
If the price was within his budget, he could really consider hiring him. After all, the little cubs are in the growing stage, and it’s not right for them to drink nutrient solution all the time.
More importantly, unlike other Bugs, Yao couldn’t feel a dangerous aura from him. On the contrary, he was reliably reassuring.
While Chen Xing was cleaning up the kitchen, Yao picked out the extra quilts and pillows and spread them on the sofa.
Ethan was so sleepy that he crawled over, wanting Yao to carry him, “Papa,” “Carry!” The little radish head and Xiao Wen dragged their cushions and surrounded Yao, waiting for him to tell their routine bedtime story.
It seemed that in order to show Yao his proficiency in his job and make the boss keep him, Chen Xing took over the task of coaxing the children. Coaxing little Ethan was a piece of cake for him. He had been practicing this skillful technique since Ethan was still an embryo.
As night fell, Yao took the sleeping little Ethan. The two little Bug cubs had also gone to bed.
Yao looked at the made-up sofa and said a little embarrassedly: “Sorry, I’ll definitely buy a new bed tomorrow.”
“It’s okay.”
Noticing that the Female Bug’s tall figure couldn’t fit on the sofa, and that he would definitely be uncomfortable if he had to sleep there, Yao felt even more guilty.
In his sleep, little Ethan was sucking his dad’s fingers and sucking them sweetly, completely unaware of what was happening.
In the middle of the night, Yao, who got up to drink water, was almost scared into cardiac arrest by the Bug shadow in front of him. The Female Bug had blended into the darkness and had been standing there for who knows how long.
“Why… why are you staring at me?” Yao stammered. Was he having another episode?
The Female Bug didn’t answer but handed over a warm glass of water, signaling him to drink it first.
His dry throat was moistened by the sweet dew, and Yao sat back on the bed and asked, “Is the sofa uncomfortable?”
“No, I’m just a little scared. I want to make sure you’re still here.”
“Yao Yao, go to sleep, don’t worry about me.”
Being stared at made him feel creeped out, and Yao was covered in goosebumps.
He’s so timid, Yao has never met a Female Bug who’s afraid to sleep alone. Did he suffer some kind of trauma?
A feeling of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart, urging Yao: should he invite this strange Bug to lie down and sleep together?
He’s already so pitiful, and anyway, this bed is big enough, and little Ethan is in the middle, far away, so there won’t be any contact. It wouldn’t hurt to let him lie down, right?
His Male Bug characteristics are well concealed, and his pheromones have been erased cleanly. Yao doesn’t think that other Female Bugs would have any other thoughts about him.
After preparing himself mentally, Yao said with a red face: “Do… do you want to lie down and try it?”
Chen Xing didn’t expect Yao to take the initiative to invite him to share the bed. From the moment he met Yao, he had been in a state of constant panic.
Afraid that Yao would hate the unfamiliar him.
Afraid that Yao would forget him, forget the romantic memories between them, forget the promises of a lifetime.
Chen Xing had even thought about what he would do if Yao fell in love with a new Female Bug during his amnesia…
If he wasn’t accepted, should he silently bless Yao? Chen Xing had never been a generous Bug. He might kill Yao’s new lover, no matter what it took, to bring the little Male Bug back to his side.
He wasn’t special, nor was he Yao’s only knight. He was just a base thief who coveted all of the Male Bug’s feelings.
A prince in distress never lacks knights to rescue him. If another Female Bug were to stage a hero-saves-beauty drama, would Yao, who had lost his memory, fall into the web of love again as he did with him?
The little Male Bug is good in every way. The only bad thing is that he is too attractive, even when disguised as a Female Bug. But none of this is Yao Yao’s fault. Blame those overreaching, buzzing wasps and butterflies that want to pounce on him.
Fortunately…
Everything had yet to happen. He found Yao.
Now, in the future, forever… the little Male Bug will be his.
Chen Xing lay beside Yao, tracing his lover’s soft face, with unprecedented determination.
