Chapter 14 Zerg World 14 Addicted, can’t quit…
The moment he heard Chu Sicheng's voice, Alex's dark green eyes couldn't help but brighten up.
It's funny to say, he actually felt a sense of security and peace in a male insect that he had never felt in any domestic insect. It was as if from the moment the other party appeared, he was no longer alone.
Alex didn't know whether it was the effect of the male insect's pheromones on him, or the bewitching words the other party had said before. Anyway, at this moment, he did relax his tense nerves for a rare time because of Chu Sicheng's appearance.
However, the other insects around him did not have it as easy as he did.
Especially the insects like Ferro who had witnessed Chu Sicheng's ability to disrupt the situation, immediately activated their highest defense mechanism the moment he appeared. They all stared at Chu Sicheng with vigilance, and no insect dared to answer his questions easily.
After all, the result of his interference in the meeting last time was that not only did they not let Alex hand over the supervision of Mogras, but they also made him randomly match people up at the meeting, resulting in such a chaotic multi-faceted relationship situation.
In the end, it was Elio who spoke first when he met Chu Sicheng for the first time.
"Oh~ Dear Lord Ryan, we were just discussing the issue of the witness bug you raised earlier. Since Alex and I are still engaged, His Majesty and Marshal Saxony wanted to seek our opinions."
"I see," Chu Sicheng raised his eyebrows. "What's your opinion?"
"Oh~" Elio smiled, then looked at Alex affectionately and said gently:
"I respect Alex's opinion. Whatever he chooses, I will agree with it."
As soon as Elio said this, there was another exclamation from the surroundings.
All the insects were moved by this perfect male insect who was both gentle and respectful to the female insects. Some even covered their hearts with their hands, as if they could not bear such a charming Elio and were about to faint in the next second.
"Oh, really?"
I don't know if he was influenced by Elio's accent, or if he simply wanted to disgust the bugs, but after Elio finished his affectionate performance, Chu Sicheng suddenly took on the translator's accent.
"Then I wonder, dear Alex, what did you choose in the end?"
Alex: “…”
Although all the insects' attention has returned to him at this moment, he still wants to complain that the male insect is really acting like a sick person day by day.
Alex glanced at Chu Sicheng speechlessly, his lips slightly parted, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the Saxon Marshal who was worried that he might say something wrong.
"With so many bugs around now, Alex might be embarrassed to speak up, but just now, he told me privately that he doesn't want to cancel his engagement with Lord Elliot. Don't you agree, Alex..."
Everyone could hear that the female insect's words were full of reminders and warnings to Alex, reminding him to remember her previous instructions and warning him not to say the wrong thing in front of the Insect King, just like the tone she had used every time before when she asked Alex to give up his interests.
“…”
A familiar feeling of suffocation came towards Alex, and subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Chu Sicheng.
However, the male insect, who was bored playing with a fan, met his gaze, blinked twice, and said only one sentence,
"What are you looking at me for?"
He did not stand up and say "I disagree" on Alex's behalf when Alex was criticized by everyone, as he did in the last meeting. Instead, he stood there quietly, waiting for Alex's answer with the other insects.
It was as if he was really just there to watch the fun.
With the corners of his mouth raised, Chu Sicheng opened the fan with a "snap", covering the lower half of his face, while his blue-gray eyes curved at Alex.
He seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He was like an interviewer from some large company, smiling at you politely while his eyes were quietly examining you.
Scrutinizing your every move to determine whether you are qualified.
For a moment, Alex seemed to hear the male insect's whisper again.
"Alex, no bug will always help you."
"Even if it's a deal, you have to show your sincerity..."
"So, do you know what to do next?"
Do you know what you should answer at this time?
Wherever his eyes looked, the male insect gently touched the tip of his upturned nose with the fan, his eyes flickering, as if there were two paths in front of Alex, or perhaps, the male insect's two choices for the transaction partner.
Cooperate, or give up.
Alex was stunned for a moment, and his fingertips holding the wine glass unconsciously exerted force. At this moment, the male insect seemed to be tired and stopped moving. The fan-shaped blade completely stopped at the bridge of the nose. The blue-gray sea was completely in the shadows. The light that had finally lit up seemed to be about to be abandoned by him.
no……
Can't……
Invisibly, a huge shadow seemed to appear behind Alex, and dense silk threads connected the female insect and the shadow's fingers together.
His limbs were tied, his heart was entangled, and even his mouth was hooked with silk threads, as if his every move and every word could only be controlled by the phantom.
Next to him, Marshal Saxony amplified his voice urging Alex to make a choice the moment Chu Sicheng chose to watch coldly.
They all thought that no bug would help Alex this time, so he could only nod again and agree to the decision that made all the bugs happy, including Ferro and Frederick, who thought that the subsequent plan would be useless.
The shadowy figure gently shook his fingers, and fate seemed to be heading towards its predetermined destiny line again.
However, at this moment, Alex moved his lips and what came out was "No."
Marshal Saxony was stunned. "What?"
"I said, no."
Alex raised his eyes, looking expressionlessly at his paternal father who had never chosen him since he was a child, and repeated his words again.
"Things are not as you say. I agree to cancel the engagement. After all, this way, Your Majesty can fulfill his promise to Lord Ryan, right?"
The female insect said this, her lips slightly curled up, her face showing a wantonness and arrogance that Marshal Saxony had never seen before.
"Your Majesty is the God of our Empire. So, what does it matter if I sacrifice my engagement as a bug to fulfill your promise?"
The silk thread that was hooking the lips seemed to be torn off, and the fan that concealed most of the male insect's face was closed. Chu Sicheng chuckled, and when Alex looked at him again, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Well, happy cooperation.
Happy cooperation...
The lit firecrackers were thrown into the boiling oil pan, frying the surrounding insects beyond recognition. However, the culprit was lying comfortably on the sofa, peeling the fresh oranges on the coffee table.
Alex raised his eyes and glanced at the insects with different expressions not far away, then turned his head to look at Chu Sicheng next to him.
"Next, Ferro and Frederick should take action."
"Why, are you scared?"
Alex snorted and laughed. "If I was scared, wouldn't I have just agreed to Marshal Saxony's words? Why bother to refuse? Do you think your reputation is too good now?"
"Besides..." Alex leaned back on the sofa, her beautiful green eyes raised as she looked at Chu Sicheng, then she spoke softly, her tone just like when the two insects first met.
"I dare to execute a male insect, what does reputation mean to me?"
The male insect who was nearly executed by Alex raised his eyelids upon hearing this. In the face of Alex's obviously teasing eyes, the smile on his face did not diminish but grew.
"Indeed, what kind of reputation can a female insect have when she's in heat in front of the entire empire?"
Alex's smile froze, "That's all because of you!"
"But you're going to kill me, you can't ask me not to resist, right?"
Chu Sicheng said in an exaggerated tone: "Then you are too domineering~"
Alex: "...Can you be normal?"
"I've always been normal,"
Chu Sicheng plucked the last white thread from the orange segment, then pinched it with his thumb and index finger, and put the other three fingers into his palm. Then, as if holding a gun, he pointed the tip of the orange segment at Alex, his tone even more exaggerated than before.
"It's not me who's abnormal, it's this world!"
Alex: “…”
Is he really sick?
and……
Alex's eyes fell on the orange in Chu Sicheng's hand. In addition to labeling the other party as mentally ill, he also labeled him as narcissistic.
After all, what kind of good bug likes the taste of its own pheromones so much?
"What's wrong? You want to eat too?"
Seeing that Alex's eyes were fixed on the orange in his hand, Chu Sicheng passed the orange to him.
"If you want to eat, just tell me. I'm not withholding it from you."
Chu Sicheng was talking about oranges, and Alex knew he was talking about oranges.
But as the citrus scent approached, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.
The image of the male insect's thin and deep collarbone revealed as his collar slipped down in the ward emerged involuntarily in my mind.
The male insect's skin was so fragile, and he bit so deeply that he didn't know if the wound had healed.
Alex's eyes fell on the male insect's collar, and his fingertips moved slightly, as if he was about to reach out and pick the buttons on it in the next second, and then...
“!!!”
Alex froze when he realized what he was thinking, and then reflexively jumped up from the sofa when Chu Sicheng approached him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chu Sicheng, who simply wanted to give the other person an orange slice, felt a little puzzled.
"No, nothing."
Alex naturally couldn't tell Chu Sicheng the truth, "I just want to go to the bathroom."
Having said that, without waiting for Chu Sicheng to answer, Alex turned around and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
The male insect pheromones seemed to be having an increasingly severe effect on him.
Perhaps it was because he had been lacking pheromones for too long, so now that he had tasted them, he couldn't give them up. He even became more and more craving for them, and more and more addicted...
Alex bit his lower lip lightly with his teeth and pressed his hands on the sink. His cheeks were abnormally red from the constant dripping of water, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly, which seemed to indicate that he was having difficulty breathing.
The insect shadow hidden in the shadows swayed twice, and then the sweet, citrus scent that Alex was very familiar with enveloped him from behind.
However, the male insect that appeared in the mirror along with the pheromone was not Chu Sicheng...
