at this time.

On Aphrodite.

Han Ling paced anxiously on the bed.

Roderick's delayed reply had begun to make him doubt himself.

"System, am I not handsome? Am I a gentleman? My character is also good, and I'm quite good at making love. During the last craze, I felt Roderick enjoyed it quite a bit, so what is Roderick still hesitating about?"

Han Ling rubbed her face, feeling that her romantic journey had been truly bumpy.

"Beep beep!"

The computer suddenly gave a notification sound, and Han Ling quickly opened it to check.

[Roderick]: I'm sorry, sir, I may need a little while.

Han Ling frowned and pondered for a long time.

Roderick neither directly refused nor directly agreed, suggesting he had some unspeakable difficulties.

In order to prevent him from escaping, Han Ling had no choice but to resort to her beauty trap once again.

【Meeting is fate】: Durability is perfect, length is perfect, health is perfect. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?

[Roderick]: (&*……￥%#%@#￥*……&

Han Ling's unconventional approach startled Roderick.

Roderick didn't even hold his personal computer properly before accidentally sending a bunch of gibberish.

James, who was engrossed in his studies, glanced at him with a puzzled look.

"Roderick, what's wrong?"

Roderick's throat tightened, as if he had been poisoned and rendered mute.

"Uh cough cough cough, it's okay, don't worry about me."

He lowered his head guiltily, glanced around erratically, then stared intently at something before revealing a lewd, perverted smile.

Having finished his lewd act, Han Ling shamelessly sent another message.

[Meeting is fate]: I know you're facing difficulties, so I'm giving you time to consider. But I won't stand still and wait for you forever. Unless you send me a picture of your abs every day.

Roderick had never seen such tactics before, nor such shamelessness.

He simply saw that sending photos could retain the male insect, so he did it without hesitation.

Roderick pretended to change his clothes, then lifted up the blue-black uniform of the First Exploration Legion.

A lean yet powerful waist, with clearly defined abdominal muscles, hidden beneath the belt.

[Roderick]: [Photo]

[Roderick]: [Sir, is this alright?]

【Meeting is fate】: Okay, remember to show your face next time. I want to see your hair and eyes.

Roderick's face turned bright red. His silver-white hair, soaked in nutrient solution, was combed back, revealing his handsome eyebrows and forehead.

Dark gray eyes, hidden beneath curled eyelashes.

He took a photo under the cover of a feint.

[Roderick]: [Photo]

On the other side.

Han Ling held the personal terminal and excitedly began rolling around the bed, screaming continuously.

"Ahhh! So handsome!"

"Ahhh! So cute!"

The system was speechless upon seeing Han Ling's actions and couldn't help but comment:

[Host, you are utterly shameless.]

Han Ling rolled her eyes upon hearing this:

"What do you know? Can't we even talk about adult topics?"

After giving the system a disdainful look, Han Ling happily typed a reply.

[Meeting is fate]: Very good.

【Meeting is fate】: Sincerity will be reciprocated with sincerity, abs will be reciprocated with abs, good morning and good night will be reciprocated with kisses, Roderick, if you want my photos, you know what to do every day.

[Roderick]: Hmm.

Inside the new recruits' rest room.

James watched as Roderick made a series of feints, taking his clothes off and putting them back on, and became extremely curious about what Roderick and the male insect were talking about.

Soon an announcement came over the loudspeaker in the lounge.

[Signal network is about to be retracted. Please be aware that the signal network is about to be retracted.]

They are currently on the edge of outer space, without signal towers or signal transmission centers.

Previously, the First Exploration Legion had expended energy to lay a temporary signal tower here for the new recruits' military exercises.

Now that all the scrapped mechs have been recovered, they are preparing to return home.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Roderick immediately sent a message in the chat box.

[Roderick]: Your Excellency, I'm heading back now. There might be no signal for two days. I'll take the photos after I land.

【Meeting is fate】: Okay, sleep more these few days and try to dream about me.

[Roderick]: I'll try my best.

After closing the chat.

Han Ling's bed has been built to look like a pigsty.

The bed was a mess, as if it had been run over by a truck.

Han Ling hummed a song and happily called the robot to make the bed, while he himself got off the bed and walked towards the desk.

"Roderick, you truly are my muse. My hands are itching to write another book."

Han Ling is beaming with joy and can't wait to write a sweet little story to commemorate their reunion.

At this moment, the system reminds you:

[Host, have you forgotten? You said before that you were going to write "I Was Green-Haired by Your Excellency, and Then the Neighboring Male Devoured Me Completely."]

Han Ling frowned upon hearing this, clearly having forgotten about the matter.

He said helplessly:

“There was some misunderstanding before. I thought Roderick had other males. Now it seems that he has always liked me.”

However, since we've already thought of a name, let's write it down. I'll think about it first.

Han Ling propped his head up with his hand, staring blankly at his desk, occasionally letting out a silly chuckle, lost in thought.

Time flies.

Five days later.

Han Ling didn't touch a single word, having long since forgotten about the new novel.

He lay in a rocking chair outside the central castle, basking in the sunlight.

A gentle breeze was blowing as Han Ling ate the delicious food prepared by the male insects she had ordered, while chatting with Roderick.

[Meeting is fate]: Look, this is the lunch I ordered.

[Meeting is fate]: [Image]

[Roderick]: There's not enough food. You need to eat more.

Han Ling picked up a piece of diced beef and put it in her mouth with relish.

[Meeting is fate]: This dish is just for the taste. I will take some nutritional supplements after eating it, don't worry.

On Aphrodite, he finally found a normal portion of food.

In that chat group with over 400,000 male insects, Han Ling found a chef who delivered lunch to him.

Because the male insect is in charge of cooking, the portion size is very small and the food is expensive.

However, the taste is truly superb.

After Han Ling had finished eating, the two said their goodbyes.

Roderick is to lead his fleet to an unknown star system in search of new resource planets.

[Roderick]: Goodbye, sir. I must depart. This is my first time venturing into an unknown star system. Wish me luck.

[Meeting is fate]: Good luck, safe return, and a reward for you.

[Roderick]: Hmm!

When Roderick's image turned gray, Han Ling put down his personal terminal, feeling somewhat lost.

He had a wonderful five days.

With food, drink, and company, he and Roderick, though far apart, had exchanged countless shameful photos.

Unfortunately, Roderick was gone for more than half a month, during which time there was no signal at all.

After sitting blankly for an hour, Han Ling stood up, looking utterly dejected.

The system immediately reminded:

[Host, five days ago you said you were going to write a new novel.]

Han Ling scratched his head:

"Hmm? I don't remember at all. Let's talk about it later, I'm not in the mood to write right now."

The system then reminded me:

[Host, you have many things to deal with these past five days. Lingtian Company has already sent you dozens of emails inquiring about the annual meeting arrangements. You haven't read a single one.]

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Han Ling immediately noticed something strange: "Lingtian Company sent me a message? Where's Parsons?"

Han Ling had never seen any emails from Lingtian Company; he only contacted Parsons.

The system notified:

[President Parsons was taken away for investigation three days ago due to some matters. Currently, the company is being managed by a temporary acting president.]
