Chapter 35
The female insect's vision and legs have recovered, but the hospital is helpless as to the bone wings. They can only put it aside for the time being and treat the numerous hidden injuries inside the female insect's body.
Yael was not in a hurry. The only thing he insisted on was taking Xi Ze to Xie Zhao regularly to treat his psychological problems.
He didn't have much hope at first, but after the female insect saw a psychiatrist several times, her mental state improved visibly.
On the contrary, Xie Zhao looked visibly haggard after several treatments, with a dark spot on his eyelids and his once lively curly hair drooping down unhappily.
"What kind of magic medicine did he give you?" Yael joked. "No, I think he used the soul transfer technique."
"Avoid deliberate torture, and rest in peace. Your spirit will gradually improve."
Xize curled his eyes and didn't ask what the soul-transferring technique was.
After getting familiar with it, he found that the male insect would occasionally say some strange words that did not sound like local words at all, but everyone has secrets, and if the male insect did not take the initiative to say it, he would never delve into it.
Since the female worm had surgery, Yael has been very busy. He had originally planned to go there when he had time, but he never had the time, and only finished the things he had on hand near the end of the year.
"There are only two more treatments left for the third stage of the female worm, and then it will come to an end. The hospital will discuss a new plan after the New Year."
"Alvin's condition has also improved significantly, and he has been able to stand for a while. The military wives in the hospital who benefited from the pheromones have been saying that they want to thank you in person..."
The screen in the living room was connected to a computer, projecting half of Elaine's body, reporting the latest situation in the hospital. The background looked like a hospital corridor, and faint breathing sounds could be heard nearby.
Yael closed the book in his hand, threw it on the coffee table in front of him, switched to a new one, and glanced at the screen after hearing what he said.
"I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll go over after breakfast."
Elaine didn't want to rush him, but she obviously didn't expect the male insect to be so efficient. She was stunned for a moment, and the breathing sounds recorded became much more chaotic, as if she was forcibly suppressing her excitement.
Yael flipped through the book and asked casually, "What's that noise over there?"
"Oh, it's nothing! Well, if it's not too much trouble, can you let me know when you come over?"
The female insect's voice was brisk yet respectful, less hypocritical than before, and even the smile in her eyes was much more intense.
"That's all for now. I won't bother you anymore. See you later."
The projection was interrupted. Yael looked up thoughtfully, then picked up the documents on the coffee table, stood up and knocked on the bathroom door.
Today's training has ended, and Caesar has been inside for quite some time. After Yael knocked on the door, there was a rustling sound of someone getting dressed.
The female insect's voice came through the hazy steam and sounded a little distorted. "Is this 015? What's up?"
Before Yael could say anything, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a large area of light honey-colored skin suddenly came into view, and wet steam hit his face, "What's wrong..."
Yael blinked.
The female insect in front of me was holding the door frame with one hand and wiping her messy wet hair with a towel with the other. It seemed that she came out to open the door when she was halfway through taking a shower. She was only wearing a pair of loose pajamas, and her strong upper body was clearly visible.
Due to the height difference, the female insect's pectoral muscles, which were as elastic and plump as a water ball, happened to be right under his eyes, and the water droplets that had not been wiped off slowly slid down along the arc.
Xi Ze lowered his head to meet Yael's gaze, and was obviously stunned, "Xiong, Xiong Zhu...?"
The female insect's movements and aura suddenly became restrained, her face showed an expression of regret and embarrassment, and her hands holding the towel kept tightening.
"My Lord, are you going to tell me something?"
Yael remained silent. For some reason he didn't tell the truth directly. He looked at Caesar and guessed hesitantly.
The female insect took one look at his interested expression and pulled off the large towel she was using to dry her hair, completely revealing her fluffy hair that looked like toast with honey on it.
"My Lord... do you want to touch here?"
His words were too direct. Yael was surprised for a moment. "What?"
It seems I guessed wrong again.
Xi Ze sighed, but still said frankly, "After all, although you feel that it is enough to get spiritual satisfaction, you may want to try it out occasionally."
He did not forget what the male insect had said before about "spiritual sustenance".
Bugs also have a very popular breeding game. He didn't know much about this before, but he has seen many comments saying that it feels very beautiful and cute. He really hopes that paper bugs can change their shapes and do anything they want.
Early on, the male insect apparently enjoyed touching his hair, pinching it here and poking it there, and in more dramatic ways, hugging it.
But then it gradually became less frequent, and recently, apart from routine spiritual counseling, there has been no physical contact.
And...he always felt that the male insects had been avoiding him since that accident.
Xi Ze looked at the innocent-looking male insect in front of him and pursed his lips.
Yael finally reacted.
It had been a long time since he had been struck by a female insect's frankness in this regard. He almost forgot that the insect tribe was particularly open-minded. He coughed softly to hide his unnatural expression.
"Don't think too much. I just want to tell you that we should go to the hospital together after breakfast."
The female insect in front of him nodded to show that she understood, but she was still obviously absent-minded and didn't even notice the water droplets from the ends of her hair dripping onto her eyelashes.
Yael waved his hand to bring him back to his senses and asked directly, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Xi Ze was silent for a while, then he carefully raised his eyes and looked back at him, and said softly, "Why... don't you touch me anymore?"
Seeing Yael's surprised expression, he looked away for a moment and explained in a low voice.
"It was like that in the bathroom and in the living room, touching my hair and pinching my ears, um, that is to say..."
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he felt. His voice got lower and lower, and finally he stopped talking.
"ah."
After hearing the explanation, Yael finally understood what the female insect in front of him was struggling with. He felt a little helpless and a little amused.
Before that, he hadn't changed his mindset, and his attitude towards Caesar was... how should I put it, a little casual.
But later I thought that his bad taste might be an unpleasant harassment to the female insects, so I always restrained my hands from poking the female insects.
It turns out he is not annoying.
Yael chuckled and looked at the female insect in front of him, whose stiff expression could not hide her loss. The fingers hanging at his sides curled up unconsciously.
"Sorry, I overstepped my boundaries. Please don't..." Take it to heart.
Before Cize could finish his harsh words, a shadow suddenly covered his eyes and a warm touch fell on his forehead.
Yael stretched out his fingers and inserted them into the female insect's wet hair, pushing back all the loose hair that fell down, revealing the female insect's deep and sharp eyebrows.
His movements were not careful, but not rough either. His fingertips brushed across the sensitive roots of the hair and behind the ears, massaging those areas in circles, and with very skilled techniques he stroked the female insect from head to tail several times.
He didn't stop until the corners of Xi Ze's eyes turned slightly red and his breathing became a little disordered.
Yael took a step forward and got close to the female insect, his hot breath spraying on the red earlobe that seemed to be dripping with blood, and the smile in his eyes was narrow and bright, "Is this how I touch it?"
Xi Ze only heard a loud roar from his heart, which hit his chest with unusual force, and screamed and clamored along with the blood flowing backwards.
He even wondered if the sound would be loud enough for the male insect to hear.
A "hissing" sound suddenly came from the space that seemed to be still.
Yelden paused, took a step back and put some distance between them, only to find that there was a big hole in the towel in Caesar's hand, and his death was very tragic.
Xi Ze finally came to his senses. The skin on his neck and chest was stained with large patches of light red, as if the whole insect was brightly burning.
Kind of cute.
Yael coughed softly, "Anyway, finish it quickly, we'll go over there after breakfast... you can continue to take a shower."
Xi Ze opened and closed his mouth several times, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he just hummed briefly.
"Yes, Lord."
…
After finishing breakfast, Yael rummaged through the pile of clothes on the sofa and pulled out a complete set of clothes for going out, including a black coat, and handed it to the female insect, "Here."
"Last time you went, you had to use a wheelchair. This time you don't need to. I bought you a new long windbreaker. Try it on."
Caesar thanked him, took it and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out, he found that Yael had also changed.
The male seems to have a particular fondness for long white down jackets, which really look good on him.
His clothes are fluffy but not bulky, and the white plush hat makes his eyes look particularly dark. The extreme contrast of colors does not detract from his clear and elegant appearance, but makes him look more beautiful and extraordinary, as if he were not from this world.
Xi Ze took a breath, took the scarf that the male insect would wear from 015, and whispered when Yael looked over, "Can I help the male master put it on?"
Yael was indifferent and raised his chin slightly to let him move, revealing a slender neck. It was so pale that the light blue blood vessels under the skin could be seen. It looked soft and fragile.
Cézar held the warm down scarf in his hands and gently wrapped it around Yael's neck, his fingertips lightly brushing the rolling Adam's apple. Without letting the male insect notice, he finally tucked the tail of the scarf into the down jacket.
"alright."
He lowered his eyes to look at the male insect in front of him, reached out and grabbed the collar of his down jacket, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Do you want me to help you put on your gloves?"
After a lot of hesitation, I finally got out smoothly half an hour later.
*
"Passengers please fasten your seat belts. The journey is about to begin. The Star Map will provide you with a full report..."
The radio button was turned off, and a familiar female insect turned around in the driver's seat and smiled at Yael in the back seat.
"Good morning, sir."
Yael's pupils shrank slightly, and his voice was a little cold, "Why are you here again?"
The female insect smiled dryly and said, "Originally, my colleague should have come to pick you up, but he has something urgent to do today, so I will take over."
Yael wanted to get off the car directly, but the cold and gloomy feeling he had last time did not appear, and with Caesar next to him, he didn't need to worry too much.
Instead of avoiding it every time, it is better to follow the trend and see what this female insect wants to do.
He took his hand off the car door and said simply, "Drive."
"My Lord, seat belts."
However, Caesar leaned over, his tall figure almost blocking most of his view. By the time he fastened his seat belt and retracted his seat, the female insect had already withdrawn his sight.
The hand at his side was touched, and Yael withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and looked at Cesar who was sitting next to him, asking him what was wrong with his eyes.
“…”
Xi Ze didn't say anything, but just smiled, which inexplicably dispelled the uneasiness in Yael's heart.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and we arrived at the back door of the hospital without any setbacks. Elaine was still standing at the door waiting, and when she saw the aircraft opened, she hurried over to greet it.
When Yael opened the door and was about to get out of the car, the female insect who had been silent for a long time in the driver's seat suddenly spoke up, "Sir, be careful where you step."
That sticky feeling of being watched appeared again, but before Yael could look up, Caesar suddenly grabbed his wrist and used some skill to safely bring the male insect out of the car.
The tall female soldier held Yael in a half-embrace position, like an indestructible wall, separating him from the malicious gaze behind him.
"Don't worry."
Xi Ze lowered his eyes, and with steady and powerful fingers, he restrainedly pressed on the male insect's shoulder, and said in a gentle and calm voice, "No insect can get past... and hurt you."
The aircraft disappeared at the end of the road. Caesar retracted his gaze and looked at Elaine who was rushing over with an unfriendly look, which successfully made the female insect pause.
"What, what happened?"
It seems that he didn't offend this military girl, right?
After finding out what had happened, Elaine repeatedly assured that nothing would go wrong again, and then she welcomed Yael into the hospital with an apologetic and respectful look.
It wasn't Xi Ze's psychological treatment time today, but it wasn't far away, so we just came together.
This caught Xie Zhao completely off guard.
The female insect with messy curly hair and smoky dark circles under her eyes looked dazed, and she shuddered suddenly when she saw Caesar.
"What's wrong?"
Yael watched Xie Zhao's expression change several times, from shock to horror to despair and finally forced calm. The speed of the change made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
He turned his head and asked Caesar in a low voice, "Did you beat him up secretly?"
"No." Xi Ze's voice also lowered, "I won't cause any trouble for the Lord."
"I'm not worried about that..."
Yael sighed, complaining in a tone that was half real and half fake, "Anyway, if anything happens during the treatment, you won't tell me, right?"
"I'm sorry, Lord, I'm not..." Xi Ze apologized subconsciously.
The female insect has indeed relaxed a lot during this period, but when she hears this blaming tone, she will still choose to apologize as soon as possible.
Yael also reached out his hand very skillfully and gently kneaded the sensitive area on the back of his neck, "Relax, I'm not blaming you."
It took Tang Yuan more than half a year to change from whimpering and running away, thinking she was going to be beaten whenever he stretched out his hand, to standing stiffly in place and looking at him cautiously.
Caesar is not a silly puppy, but an independent individual with his own thoughts and emotions. Some of his ideas are more deeply rooted, and the manifestations of psychological trauma are more subtle and complex.
But no matter what, he has plenty of time and patience.
"Uh... that..."
Xie Zhao, who had witnessed the whole process, hesitated again and again, but finally spoke out to interrupt this extremely harmonious and weird atmosphere. Then he was nailed to the spot by the military woman's cold eyes.
Don't glare at me! You came here suddenly because you have something urgent to do! Xie Zhao cried out in anger.
"Oh, yes. You and Dr. Xie go ahead. I'll pick you up later."
Yer let go of his hand, smiled and nodded to Xie Zhao, and exchanged a brief greeting.
…
"Please come in, sir. We heard you were coming, so we've prepared everything here. If you need anything else, just let me know!"
Elaine stepped forward, opened the door of the VIP room for the male insect, and invited him to rest for a while inside.
The room is not particularly spacious, but it is considered luxurious for a field hospital, with sofas, tea tables, projectors, etc.
The heating inside was turned up extremely high, as if a novice gardener had built a greenhouse cover with excessive force for fear that the delicate roses would wither.
A pot of tea was brewing on the tea table, with white mist emanating from the slender mouth of the pot. Various desserts and snacks were scattered all over the table, as if they had been piled there by someone in a hurry.
Elaine finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the male insect sitting comfortably on the soft fabric sofa, surrounded by sweets and pillows.
"I have an important matter for you to attend to. Please wait for a moment while I go get Chong."
Yael nodded indifferently, "Well, go ahead."
Elaine took a few steps back to open and close the door, and before the door was completely closed, he seemed to see the male insect reach out and pick up a small white dessert.
"Hey... look here... here, here!"
A deliberately suppressed voice came from behind. Elaine came back to her senses, but before she turned around, she looked helpless.
At the corner of a corridor not far from the VIP room, several female soldiers poked their heads out stealthily and waved at Elaine.
If Yael was there, he would have recognized some familiar faces, including the bugs that were surrounding Alvin's bed, and the female soldier who brought him food.
"How is it, Mr. Male Insect? Are you satisfied?"
A young female soldier said excitedly, "I looked up the guide. Male insect cubs really like soft pillows and delicious snacks!"
That gentleman is not some youngster. Elaine looked at him helplessly, but when she thought of what she had just seen, she was not so sure.
"I just saw the male insect eating a white snack. He must have liked it."
"White dessert?"
The female soldier was stunned for a moment, and recalled the things they had bought after climbing over the wall. There didn't seem to be any white pastries among them.
Wait, then it seems...
He let out a long hiss, and the smile on his face gradually grew bigger, "I remember now, white snacks, hehehe, white snacks..."
"What a joke!"
The female soldiers around him were not used to him keeping secrets, so they put their arms around his throat and asked, "What on earth is it? Tell me now!"
Elaine didn't keep her eyes open for a moment, and those young and energetic female soldiers had already gathered together and immediately raised their foreheads.
"The white snack is that Snow-something-mother...?"
In the middle of the corridor, the tall female soldier was leaning against the wall. After hearing the conversation over there, she looked up in surprise and said, "I remember you bought it."
"yes."
There was also a female soldier standing by the window across the corridor. Her face was pale as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her deep ocean-blue eyes were calm, but her brows could not hide the sharpness of a warrior.
It was the military girl, Alvin, who was lying on the hospital bed that day.
His entire upper body was wrapped in thick bandages, making it very difficult for him to move, and he could only barely wear a military jacket.
"Did you bring anything?"
Alvin turned his head to ask Noah, watching as Elaine pushed aside those monkey-like female soldiers and came over here.
"Yes, I brought it."
Noah repeated impatiently, and after a moment of silence, he became uncertain, "…Do you really want to give that thing to Mr. Male Insect?"
"I can never repay you for saving my life."
Alvin smiled and coughed a few times. His voice was a little hoarse, but his expression was calm and indifferent.
"They are just external possessions. Although they are worth quite a bit, you, the male insect, may need them more than I do."
*
The clock in the psychological counseling room kept ticking.
This is actually a type of white noise, which can calm the person undergoing psychological treatment and help the treatment proceed smoothly.
But now, Xie Zhao only feels that this is the countdown of his life.
The scene in the counseling room was not what Yael had imagined, a harmonious psychotherapy process.
On the contrary, the curtains were drawn tightly, all the white noise soft lights were turned off, and the whole room was dark and closed.
The attending physician was driven aside, trembling with fear, while the patient who was supposed to be treated sat on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, having an encrypted conversation with the head of the Xie family, who was at the top of the family.
Xie Zhao glanced over there secretly and found that the usually dignified head of the family was carefully guessing the intention of the female insect opposite him, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead again and again.
"Yes, yes, yes... OK, OK... I'll do it as soon as possible."
I didn't expect that you, such a handsome guy, would actually be a lackey of other female insects out there.
While muttering inwardly, Xie Zhao raised his head and met Xize's nonchalant glance at him. His breath caught and he immediately lowered his head, wishing he could completely shrink into the shadow of the sofa.
Just kidding. He apologized silently, "You should take the lead, the younger generation can't stand it."
"So... when do you want to come back? Your soldiers seem very anxious, I'm afraid..."
It was not just anxiety, he almost overturned the entire military department. Whenever military regulations were violated, they were punished and violated again. There were even several times when the admiral's office was smashed to pieces. He was extremely anxious and there was not a single day of peace.
Xi Ze was checking the latest data transmitted. Hearing this, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at the female insect on the projection. His voice was calm but unquestionable, "No rush."
"Oh, yes, yes, no hurry, no hurry, you can rest up there and come back to take charge of the situation!"
The head of the Xie family looked up cautiously again and asked tentatively.
"I heard that your adjutant, the white adjutant, was targeted by Anto, and you were sacrificed... poof poof, and was exiled to the garbage planet not long after you left."
"Has the Admiral contacted him?"
Xi Ze glanced at him with a half-smile, which made Chong sweat profusely. However, he still couldn't fathom the unfathomable calmness. "Do your own thing."
"Yes...yes, sorry."
The call lasted for several hours until Caesar glanced at the clock on the wall and reached out to close the data page.
"That's all for now."
The projection went out, and the counseling room fell into silence.
The female soldier sitting on the sofa did not look up. She turned the computer several times with her slender fingers and skillfully erased the marks on it.
Xie Zhao carefully came out from the corner and stood far away on the other side of the sofa.
"There's still half an hour left. Do you...need some serious psychological counseling?"
Without even raising his eyes, Xi Ze said, "No, just prescribe the medicine as usual."
"But your post-traumatic stress is really severe."
Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment, but his professional qualities as a doctor overcame his fear.
"If we let it go, it might lead to a mental riot ahead of time..."
"Thank you, but no thanks."
Xie Zhao was choked by his cold and hard attitude.
As expected, female soldiers are not liked by insects! Not only do they not take care of themselves, but they also ignore the doctor's advice and insist on having their own way. Sooner or later, they will be pissed off to death!
He took a deep breath and decided to teach this female insect a lesson.
"...But I think Lord Yael is really concerned about you. He really wants you to get better, so you should try your best to cooperate with the treatment, right?"
Speaking of Yael, the female soldier who had been indifferent just now paused and threw the laptop in her hand onto the coffee table with a clanging sound.
Xie Zhao came to his senses instantly and cursed himself secretly.
As expected, he had lived on the marginal planet for too long and had become so dull that he dared to mention his "buyer" in front of a big boss who had become a female slave.
Is there any female slave who has not been tortured by male insects?
Once Xi Ze contacts his own power, or his old subordinates, he will definitely leave without any regrets, and may even regard this experience as a shame and a stain.
But he just mentioned male insects and said something like "I care" and "I hope you get better". He is really looking for death. Has his brain been muddled by the fake dog food just now?
Xie Zhao laughed dryly and took a few steps back. "Then I'll go out first. You can come out when your time comes."
The door closed with a click, and the room fell silent again.
After a long while, Xize bent down and picked up the laptop that had fallen on the carpet.
He wiped away the fine dust with his fingertips, and the displeasure and hatred in his eyes melted away like residual snow, replaced by a gentleness that was almost sad.
He was in a daze for a while, and then he remembered something and chuckled.
But soon, even this emotional fluctuation disappeared from his mind. He caught a glimpse of the monitor that started working again, and he lowered his eyes and sneered.
