Deterioration

Only male insects have pheromones.

In the strange silence, the system made a difficult conclusion: [You seem to have been assimilated into a male insect. 】

The moment he decided to stay, Wei Shao was ready to be assimilated, but he did not expect that he would be assimilated into a male insect.

Philo had always treated him as a female insect, and he had never seen any insect other than a female insect. His only impression of the so-called male insects was that the base would occasionally leak news that male insects seemed to have appeared somewhere, and then send a car to "pick them up".

Then there is the vague desire in the conversations of the female insects.

It seems that in this world, male insects are a resource that can be fought over, and the winner takes it all, and they themselves have no power to resist.

Fei Luo's reaction confirmed this speculation. He immediately said to Wei Shao: "Brother, don't go out casually during this period of time."

The shock of the on-the-spot sex change was greater than he had imagined, and Wei Shao uttered an "Oh" in a trance.

Philo stepped back a few dozen centimeters and looked at Wei Shao carefully.

Theoretically, the gender of every insect can be determined before it is born. Wei Shao looked too much like a female insect, and he didn't have insect markings or wings, so he subconsciously thought Wei Shao was a sub-female.

And if it weren't for the close contact just now... perhaps he would not have known Wei Shao's real gender until Wei Shao left.

Fei Luo felt a little bitter in his heart, and suddenly understood why Wei Shao kept his distance from him.

But more than that, there was the thrill and joy that poured down like a mountain torrent.

He murmured: "Brother..."

Wei Shao rubbed his brows, temporarily putting aside the messy thoughts in his head, and looked at Fei Luo: "What's wrong?"

Philo's Adam's apple rolled slightly, staring into his eyes, his light pink lips opening and closing: "You are a male insect."

Wei Shao couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a question or not, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It should be."

Philo grabbed his sleeve and asked anxiously, "Do you have a female monarch?"

Wei Shao reacted for a moment and immediately denied: "How is that possible?"

——He has never even touched a girl’s hand.

Philo licked his lips, which were dry due to nervousness, and asked, "What about the female servant?"

"No," Wei Shao felt something was wrong and said uncomfortably, "Why are you asking this?"

Before he could get an answer, the black book jumping up and down behind Philo grabbed Wei Shao's attention.

Wei Shao: [What’s wrong with you? 】

The system ignored him and continued to desperately try to make its presence felt.

Wei Shao was confused and his eyes followed the book around for several circles. Philo looked back but saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?"

Wei Shao came back to his senses: "Nothing, just continue talking."

The system interrupted angrily: [Come back with me! 】

Wei Shao never had much patience for it: [Are you sick? 】

The system was too anxious to argue with him: [You follow me right now——]

"Then can I be your queen?" Fei Luo supported Wei Shao's knees and asked with his head raised.

Wei Shao's eyes widened for a moment, his pupils slightly constricted due to extreme shock, and he stared at Philo blankly.

"What did you say?!"

Hope and excitement surged in Philo's chest. He felt that he had finally found a perfect way to completely keep Wei Shao.

"You heard it...I know."

Seeing Wei Shao frozen in silence, he crawled forward on his knees, leaned down, and rubbed his cheek against Wei Shao's palm as he did before, but this action contained a hint of dark possessiveness and desire compared to his previous submission.

His eyes were filled with desire: "I will be your queen, okay? I will take you away from here, I will protect you forever, I will make a lot of money for you, and I will take care of you in the future, okay?"

Wei Shao's chest rose and fell, and his nerves finally returned to their normal state. He pushed away Fei Luo who was clinging to him and said through gritted teeth: "Are you crazy? I'm your brother!"

Fei Luo was stunned for two seconds, then crawled over again: "Brother... so what, we are not brothers, why not? Don't you want me to be your female master - a female servant is also fine, no, no, a female slave is also fine - you can take me away!"

His tone made it seem as if giving Wei Shao a female slave was a great blessing.

Wei Shao looked at him in disbelief, with indescribable anger spreading in his chest. He kicked Fei Luo fiercely and cursed: "Asshole! Did I raise you to be a female slave?!"

Philo was kicked unexpectedly and managed to grab the edge of the bed to avoid falling.

But Wei Shao's words seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was still concerned about him. He eagerly crawled to Wei Shao again and said: "But I only said this to you, brother. I am not like this to all insects. I am only willing to be your female slave. As long as you can stay, I can do anything."

Wei Shao's anger did not dissipate at all because of this sentence. He looked cold and said, "What do you think this is? An exchange?"

He rarely spoke so coldly. Philo trembled all over and the hot blood flowing in his heart seemed to drop a few degrees.

"Then what should I do..." Fei Luo murmured, tears falling directly on the back of Wei Shao's hand, "What should I do without you?"

Originally, Wei Shao hated to see Fei Luo cry, but today he did not wipe Fei Luo's tears. He said in a deep voice: "I hope you can find a partner who loves you. Marriage and love are not means to keep someone, but the result of two people loving each other. As for me, there is no banquet that will not end... Luo Luo, you should grow up."

He turned over and got out of bed, turned his back to Philo and said, "I'm going back first. I'll come to see you next month."

Philo was completely cold, and he sat there like a statue without saying a word.

…He screwed up everything again.

Wei Shao went straight back to his room, found a cigarette that was about to expire from the corner, smoked three of them, and then said to the system: "I'm sorry. 】

The system did not expect him to apologize on his own initiative: [You...]

Wei Shao leaned against the window, slowly lowered his eyelashes, and asked the system: [Did I teach him bad things? 】

The system was silent for a moment, neither saying yes nor no: [You are too good to him. 】

People always crave warmth, and Philo is no exception.

Even Wei Shao was not immune to this, otherwise he would not have indulged Philo again and again - he took care of Philo, and Philo also gave him the family affection he had lacked since childhood.

Wei Shao rubbed his face: [Is he still crying? 】

The system said: [Don’t ask anymore, it has nothing to do with you, just lie down and I will take you back. 】

Wei Shao didn't move, and asked again: [Can I stay a little longer? 】

The system's attitude suddenly changed, and its mechanical voice was almost cold and creepy: [What do you mean? 】

As soon as Wei Shao heard it, he knew it was a misunderstanding. He grabbed a handful of hair angrily: [Of course I didn’t intend to do that——]

Philo is so young, what the hell can he know about female monarchs, female servants, and female slaves? In the final analysis, she is just looking for a way to keep him. Of course, Wei Shao can't really think about it that way.

[I just think he’s going crazy because of the torture I’m doing to him,] Wei Shao raised his head and closed his eyes, […I’m going crazy too. 】

[Wei Shao, I warn you, you and he are from two different worlds. No matter what your purpose is, you can't break your promise again.] The system said coldly, [He is the number one male protagonist in this world, and the meaning of the existence of this world. His fate has long been determined, and is destined to be measured by two progress bars, love and career. Failure to meet any of them will lead to the destruction of this world, and then he and I will turn into dust. 】

Wei Shao clenched his fists tightly and did not say anything for a long time. He exhaled a puff of smoke in silence and decadence, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Let me see. 】

He was talking about the progress bar in the system.

The system suddenly froze, and then said sternly: [No, don’t you think you haven’t influenced him enough? 】

Wei Shao fell silent again and extinguished his cigarette in his palm: [I will go talk to him tomorrow. 】

The system said alertly: [What do you want to say to him? 】

Wei Shao pinched the bridge of his nose and whispered: [Go and talk to him clearly. He is too paranoid... He will suffer in the future because of this character. 】

The next morning, Wei Shao woke up and was still in the room next to Philo's. He was not sent back.

He rubbed his aching head and said to the system: [Thank you. 】

The system was a little annoyed: [No need to thank me, you must explain it to him clearly today and stop him from thinking about it. 】

Wei Shao silently opened the door, and the figure leaning against the door frame lost its support and fell directly to his legs.

Fei Luo's dizzy head suddenly became clear, and he subconsciously grabbed Wei Shao's hand: "Brother, you didn't leave!"

The two faint blue marks under his eyes pricked Wei Shao's eyes. Wei Shao frowned and pulled him up from the ground: "What does it mean to sit on the ground? Have you not slept all night?"

"I thought you were gone..." Philo's lips moved and he said dryly, "Are you still angry with me?"

Wei Shao didn't answer, but pulled him to the bathroom: "Wash your face, you're as dirty as a cat."

This was a signal for peace. Philo's heart began to pound again. He hurriedly tried to squeeze the toothpaste, and because of his nervousness, a lump of it fell to the ground.

Wei Shao wiped it off with a tissue and stood beside him at the sink to wash up.

While eating breakfast, Fei Luo would look at him every few seconds. Wei Shao could pretend not to see it at first, but later he couldn't help it anymore, put down the fork in his hand, and asked calmly: "Do I eat well?"

From last night till now, Wei Shao has not smiled at him once. Fei Luo would only lose his temper when Wei Shao indulged him. At this moment, Wei Shao's attitude made him feel an inescapable sense of shame and fear.

Wei Shao lowered his eyes and said, "Drink the milk."

Philo breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cup and drank it all.

Wei Shao simply cleaned up the tableware and sat down opposite him: "Let's talk."

Fei Luo knew that Wei Shao wanted to talk to him about what happened last night, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing, secretly clenching his hands.

"I scolded you yesterday, not because of you..." Wei Shao didn't specify. He looked at Fei Luo and said, "If you had confessed your feelings to any male insect you really liked, I wouldn't have scolded you. This is not a shameful thing."

He slowly spoke out the words he had prepared long ago: "I am angry for two reasons. The first is because you are confused and want to keep me by building this kind of relationship with me. If one day your teammates want to separate from you, will you do the same? The second is because you don't take yourself seriously. Even if you like a bug, you shouldn't say that you are willing to be his female slave. I raised you to this age because I hope you can have a healthy bug character and live the life you expect. I don't want you to become a vassal of any bug."

Fei Luo did not cry this time. He just looked at Wei Shao and said stubbornly: "But I will only do this to you."

Wei Shao started off by saying in an almost cruel tone: "But I don't like you treating me like this."

Philo was stunned, his eyes turned red, and after a moment, he slowly said, "Really?"

"…Then why can I smell your pheromones?"
