Protect
"Why should we protect them? They are just bugs that can be easily stepped on and killed by people." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Who said that!? They are all very cute and have their own personalities and temperaments. They are just small and can't speak." Qiu Zimu said angrily.
Wang Zhiyi glanced at him with a hint of surprise, pointed at the three-comb cattle and asked, "Will you...really protect it well?"
"Of course! This is a great treasure I found, I love it so much! Even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to it!" Qiu Zimu said affirmatively.
Wang Zhiyi was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Do you like it?"
"Oh, look how cute it is." Qiu Zimu held up the three-comb cow.
"Okay then." Wang Zhiyi chuckled softly, "You seem different from others. Can I be your friend? My name is Wang Zhiyi."
"Of course, do you like bugs too?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"Well, I've seen that three-comb bull before. Its parents were trampled to death by someone, and I rescued it. So when I saw you catch it, I thought you wanted to torture it to death." Wang Zhiyi said.
"How could that be? It's so cute. I'll take good care of it." Qiu Zimu said with a smile.
"Well, where are you going now?" Wang Zhiyi asked.
"Let's go eat on the street before going home." Qiu Zimu said.
"Then can I go with you? I went out for some fun, and when I came back I found that my house had been ransacked and smashed to pieces. Now I have nowhere to go." Wang Zhiyi smiled helplessly.
"Ah, who is so wicked!? Have you called the police?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"I reported it. The person was caught not long ago. However, the house was damaged, so I had to move. Fortunately, I don't have many collections, so I can move easily." Wang Zhiyi said.
Afterwards, Qiu Zimu took Wang Zhiyi out for a meal and a few fun activities. They still hadn't found a suitable house to rent until they met Ye Jingan and the others. Qiu Zimu complained, "He was so picky. He didn't like several houses."
"Oh, then you two are quite destined to meet." Ye Jing'an smiled.
"Can I see the three-comb bull you caught?" Liu Muzhe asked.
"Of course, isn't it very domineering and handsome?" Qiu Zimu took out the three-comb bull, touched its antennae, then touched its elytra, held it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, reluctant to let it go.
Every time he touched it, Wang Zhiyi's brows would frown a little deeper. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Why do you keep touching it? It doesn't seem to like being touched by others."
"I like it. If it doesn't like being touched, it will resist. But it let me touch it obediently. I can tell from looking at it that it likes being touched." Qiu Zimu lifted the three-comb bull and asked, "Isn't that right?"
The three-comb cow used its little paws to straighten its tentacles that had been touched crooked by Qiu Zimu, shook its head at him, and ground its two big teeth.
"It's acting coquettishly towards me!" Qiu Zimu said.
"How do you know it's just acting coquettishly? It's clearly shaking its head to show that it doesn't want you to touch it." Wang Zhiyi said helplessly.
Qiu Zimu ignored him and kissed the three-comb cow, shouting, "So cute!"
Wang Zhiyi's face turned red instantly. She covered her face and turned her head away, not wanting to be seen.
"Hey, look how interesting it is." Qiu Zimu turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your face?"
"Oh, I'm fine. Just now, a girl outside flirted with me for a long time and blew me a kiss. I blush easily, so I'm embarrassed." Wang Zhiyi said, covering his face.
Liu Muze: "..."
Ye Jingan: “…”
"Where is the girl? Why didn't I see her?" Qiu Zimu asked.
Wang Zhiyi shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "He ran away after teasing me. There's really nothing we can do about him."
Liu Muzhe grabbed Ye Jingan's clothes and signaled him to get out with his eyes.
"Old Qiu, Brother Liu and I are going out to buy some food. You guys sit here for a while." Ye Jing'an followed them out.
"I understand. Qiu Zimu captured the real body. He seems to like it very much and refuses to let go no matter what." Liu Muzhe said.
"It's something Qiu Zimu could do... so he would be willing to be caught? If it were me, I would just kill Qiu Zimu directly. How mean! He not only broke into his lair, but also touched others randomly." Ye Jing'an said.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see. Anyway, I'm here and he can't do anything." Liu Muzhe said.
Qiu Zimu and Wang Zhiyi were chatting happily when they saw them coming back. He asked, "Zhiyi hasn't found a house yet. His house was smashed up and he has no relatives. He's really pitiful. Can we let him live with us for a while?"
Ye Jingan thought: It’s just that you robbed someone and kidnapped him back.
"Okay." Liu Muzhe nodded.
"Thank you." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Then let's buy some daily necessities and go home." Qiu Zimu said with a smile.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to try your cooking skills? Is it possible today?" Wang Zhiyi asked.
"Okay, then let's buy some vegetables to take back." Qiu Zimu said.
There happened to be an empty room on the second floor of the villa. Qiu Zimu helped him make the bed and took him around the house. "You take a rest. I'll cook for you."
"Okay." Wang Zhiyi returned to his room, touched the bed sheets that Qiu Zimu had chosen for him, and smiled faintly.
Ye Jingan and Liu Muze slipped to the door of Wang Zhiyi's room, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Wang Zhiyi, open the door."
"What's the matter?" Wang Zhiyi asked.
"Let's go in and talk?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Wang Zhiyi let them in and sat on the bed, staring at the two of them with a cold face.
"What is your purpose in approaching Qiu Zimu?" Liu Muzhe asked.
"He was the one who arrested me and destroyed my family. What purpose could I have in getting close to him?" Wang Zhiyi sneered.
"With your strength, killing him would be effortless. Why are you willing to be caught by him for fun?" Liu Muzhe snorted coldly.
"I can't completely transform from a bug into a human. The bug body is my weakness. When I want to transform into a human form and go out, I can't bring it with me, otherwise the bug body will be easily killed. So I was caught by Zimu, but he said he would protect me well, so I am naturally willing to follow him." Wang Zhiyi smiled.
Liu Muze looked at him with a puzzled look: "Do you still need his protection?"
"Of course I need it. I'm weak." Wang Zhiyi said seriously, "Besides, he touched me all over and kissed me in front of you. He should be responsible for me."
"..." Liu Muzhe secretly cursed him in his heart for being shameless, even more shameless than Ye Jingan!
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. My life is in his hands anyway." Wang Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell him to stop touching me?"
"That's probably not possible. Qiu Zimu has this one habit. He wants to touch any insect." Ye Jing'an said with a strange smile, "Why don't you just confess directly? If you confess, he won't touch you even if you beg him to. Qiu Zimu is a straight man."
Wang Zhiyi frowned and asked, "Does he have a girl he likes?"
"He said yes, but I haven't seen him anyway. Do you like him?" Ye Jing'an asked curiously.
Wang Zhiyi glanced at him without saying anything.
"Tsk tsk tsk, brother, don't even think about it. Qiu Zimu won't like you. Just pack up and run away!" Ye Jing'an sneered.
"Why wouldn't he like me? Zimu said he liked me and that I was pretty! He also said that my bug was cute!" Wang Zhiyi said unconvinced.
"He likes your insect appearance. Tell him that you will become a man and see if he likes it. That guy surnamed Qiu also said that my brother Liu is handsome, but he still doesn't like Brother Liu. If you don't agree, go after him. Besides, he is not very courageous. What will happen if he knows that the person next to him is a monster with bad intentions towards him?" Ye Jing'an said.
Wang Zhiyi snorted coldly and walked to the kitchen to help Qiu Zimu cook.
Ye Jing'an said to Liu Muze, "Oh, so you're interested in Qiu Zimu. It's a pity that Qiu doesn't like men, otherwise it would be a good match. He said before that he wanted to spend his whole life with insects."
Liu Muzhe smiled.
"Is he very powerful?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Well, he just hung the demon pill around his neck. Doing so will only bring disaster upon himself. However, there should be few monsters who dare to snatch his demon pill. If they do, they will be courting death." Liu Muzhe said.
"Oh, that's his demon pill. It's not that big! It's much smaller than the demon pill of the little fox you raised. How powerful can it be?" Ye Jing'an said.
"Did you see the many ring patterns inside its demon core? He compressed it. If it weren't compressed, it would probably be the size of five small fox demon cores." Liu Muzhe added, "Compressing a demon core is very risky. If you're not careful, your cultivation will be completely destroyed. I've never seen a demon dare to do that."
"This... It's a good thing that he fell in love with Qiu Zimu, otherwise it would be too late for both of us to save her." Ye Jing'an sighed.
At the dinner table, Wang Zhiyi would praise Qiu Zimu for every dish he ate. Qiu Zimu, who couldn't stand praise, was so happy that he said he would cook for him every day in the future.
Ye Jingan and Liu Muzhe thought it was great that Wang Zhiyi came, as they were really tired of eating takeout.
After trying every dish, Wang Zhiyi said, "Your cooking is so delicious. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to have this taste in the future. Do you have a girl you like?"
Qiu Zimu smiled innocently and didn't answer.
"If you don't say anything, it means you have it." Wang Zhiyi said.
"There is one, but she definitely won't like me, and I don't plan to pursue her." Qiu Zimu said.
"Who do you like? I haven't seen you say a few words to that girl." Ye Jing'an asked.
Qiu Zimu ate silently and didn't say anything when asked.
"You're being stubborn, aren't you? Okay, I'll ask my sister to ask! There's nothing she can't get out of me." Ye Jing'an said with a wicked grin, "Tsk, it would be fun if she found out."
"No, don't ask your sister to come! I'll tell her myself, so don't tell her." Qiu Zimu said with a sad face, "I like Sister Yuling."
Ye Jingan was a little surprised. He thought Qiu Zimu had a crush on some pretty girl in school, but he didn't expect her to fall for her older sister's best friend. So he asked, "You and Sister Yuling seem to have only met a few times, and you haven't spoken much. Why do you like her?"
"Sister Yuling is very beautiful and gentle, and she always praises me for being cute." Qiu Zimu said with a silly smile.
Wang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows slightly and found that the only difference between him and Qiu Zimu was their preferences, except that she didn't praise him for being cute.
"So you set your eyes on me during that beach vacation. Didn't I praise you for being cute then? Why don't you like me?" Ye Jing'an said with a strange laugh.
"Get lost and stop disgusting me." Qiu Zimu said with disgust.
"You are indeed quite cute." Wang Zhiyi said with a smile.
"You get out of here too!" Qiu Zimu said.
"Why is it that she's happy when she says you're cute, but she's not happy when we say you're not?" Wang Zhiyi asked.
"You're a grown man, aren't you a bit cheesy? Stop saying that. Whoever says that about me can't eat the food I cook!" Qiu Zimu said.
Ye Jing'an smiled and shook his head, winking at Wang Zhiyi, indicating that he had no chance!
