Chapter 56 Early Clear
"What did you say?" Enoch didn't hear what Shay said clearly.
Shay sat up straight.
He has always been a little thin, and even though his frame has grown a lot, there is still not much flesh on his shoulder blades.
It looks a bit rugged on a summer night.
"In my world, there are no grapefruits in the summer."
Seeing that Enoch didn't understand, Xia Yi explained, "Grapefruit is only delicious in autumn and winter. Summer is out of season, so Mom and Grandma won't buy it."
"The thing we eat most in summer is watermelon."
"I'm the one who can't peel the pea pods." Xia Yi spread out her palms. "My hands stopped working, and grandma wanted me to exercise more."
"I can't ride a bike. My legs are the first to go."
"Also, the rice burger from Dex has been off the shelves for years."
"My mom doesn't know how to make boiled fish either, because I'm sick and the doctor advised me not to eat spicy food."
Shay spoke one by one.
"And Xia Yuan... Xia Yuan isn't like that." Xia Yi said with a wry smile, "Maybe she was a little naughty when she was little."
"But later, because of my illness, she gave in to me in everything. She was the youngest, but also the one who was ignored the most."
"Because my legs were the first to stop working, grandma gave me all of them to eat." Xia Yi paused. "They say eating what you need replenishes what you need."
"Xia Yuan was reluctant at first, but when I became completely unable to walk, she thought it was her fault."
“Always give me the chicken drumstick.”
"Later, I couldn't move my hands anymore, and she wouldn't even eat the wings."
"My family always pays more attention to me because I'm sick. But healthy children also need their parents' attention."
"I'm the one who prevented her from being happy."
Enoch's gray eyes turned green.
The dark green was just like the mother beast that devoured Xia Yi.
“Everything here is based on your imagination.”
It tilted its head slightly, as if it couldn't understand why Shay would take the initiative to break such an illusion.
"Yes, I know." Shay nodded. "Everything here will develop according to my preferences."
"I will get into the same university as Enoch and tell my family at some point."
“And gain their understanding and support.”
"I will live an ordinary life without suffering."
The mother beast's dark green eyes were fixed on the thin boy in front of her.
"yes."
Shay smiled.
"But eight out of ten things in this world are not as we wish."
"The moon waxes and wanes, so don't expect too much."
When Xia Yi woke up, he found himself in darkness. Although he broke the mental illusion of Zhimu, he could not escape its physical confinement.
This is……
The digestive tract of the star beast?
Suppressing his nausea, Shay patiently groped in the darkness.
He followed the windings of his digestive tract deeper, refusing to consider where he would exit.
Until he saw a ball of green that was flickering with a faint light.
If he hadn't been glowing, Shay wouldn't have noticed this mass that was almost blending into the surroundings.
Xia Yi's heart skipped a beat.
He squatted down and carefully observed the ball of green light.
Shay pushed aside the green light that had not yet fully gathered and saw a familiar face.
It was Enoch!
"Enoch!"
"Enoch!"
The female insect still had her eyes closed, and her limbs were embedded in the inner wall of her digestive tract.
It won't be long before he will be completely corroded by the Star Beast.
"Shay, go wake him up."
Somewhere in the dark, Xia Yi heard a mechanical sound, coming from nowhere.
A small cube suddenly lit up from the air, like a toy TV suddenly turning on its screen.
Shay was shocked.
"I've seen you. Are you... the reincarnated one?"
"I am the system! Hey, these are not important. Listen to me, you must enter Enoch's dream. The female insect's spiritual sea is not as good as the male insect, and he is more likely to be assimilated by the mother beast!" Ome learned the consequences of not revealing key information in the last world, and this time he went straight to the point.
"Once assimilation is complete, it's over! A Zerg Queen that can transform into a human form, possesses intelligence but no emotions, will lead the entire Zerg race into war!"
"Once you enter the illusion, I won't be able to show up anymore. You can only rely on yourself!"
"How do I enter the dream where he is?"
"The mother beast will take you in herself. She is eager to let you in again. The dream will also affect you. You must remember it yourself—"
Sure enough, before Ome finished speaking, a faint green light stopped on Xia Yi's body. It vibrated its wings, and more and more light spots began to gather on Xia Yi.
Shay did not struggle. He leaned on Enoch's shoulder and closed his eyes.
——
"Shay, aren't you going to the party tonight?"
A male insect came forward and said, "You didn't even come to my birthday party. That's really not nice of you."
Shay smiled apologetically.
"Ryan, don't you know Shay? His mistress is very strict with him!"
"Xia Yi, you're not yet an adult. Since you're not married, he's just your fiancé! And how can a female insect interfere with the social life of a male insect?"
"Yes, I heard that Major General Webster is almost twenty years older than you! And he has scorpion eyes! Do you really want him to be your queen?"
"Hey, my brother thought you were coming today, and he specifically told me... Don't you really want to consider my brother? He has a very good temper!" Ryan shrugged.
"Hey, stop talking, stop talking, I'm here to pick him up again."
The two male insects pulled each other away, leaving only Shay standing at the door.
"Enoch!"
Xia Yi walked forward quickly, and Enoch took the bag off his shoulders: "Sorry, I'm a little late today."
Xia Yi wanted to explain, but seeing Enoch's expression was normal, he wondered if he had heard what he had just said. If he hadn't heard, wouldn't his words only cause more trouble for Enoch?
"What's wrong?" Enoch asked when he saw that he looked uneasy.
"Nothing." Shay breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he didn't hear anything. He didn't want Enoch to think too much. Seeing that Enoch was still wearing his military uniform, Shay asked, "Have you been busy lately? You haven't had time to rest."
"It's just routine," Enoch replied, his expression calm. "What would you like to eat today?"
"Um..." Xia Yi was led astray, "How about we go out to eat."
“…Is it unpalatable?”
Enoch has been cooking for me lately.
"Not really..." Xia Yi struggled to find words of praise in his mind, and finally said, "It's not bad, is it?"
It’s not that it’s not unpalatable.
It just tastes bad.
Sorry, Enoch.
His cooking skills are really... terrible.
"Which restaurant?"
"Sunny day! I recently worked part-time at a cafe, and their pork chop rice is super, super delicious! The pudding is also duangduang! It's a bit like the ones my teacher used to make when I was a kid."
At that time, his tutor caught him to catch black carp by making pudding.
Only three times a week!
He also gave some to Enoch!
"I really loved that pudding, do you remember?"
Enoch's eyes darkened.
Of course he remembers.
Later, when the teacher was about to leave, Xia Yi hid and dropped gold beans.
When the teacher was around, he had skipped school twice, but Enoch brought him back each time.
"Shay, why are you here today? Isn't this a part-time job only on Saturdays?"
The worker bug in Sunny Day was very familiar with Shay and greeted him with a smile.
"Hey, bring my... to eat pork chop rice."
Xia Yi spoke quickly as he followed in to help: "Is Pudding still here? It seems like there are a lot of guests today, so I'll come and help..."
He placed Enoch in a seat by the window, but the female insect had excellent hearing, and even though Shay spoke in a low voice, he could still hear the name that was swallowed by Shay.
He stared at his male.
This male insect has been with him since he was a child.
Xia Yi has no female or male father, and he is the female monarch chosen by his previous generation, and also the only guardian insect.
When Xia Yi was brought to him, she was only as tall as his calf. She was not in good health and spoke like a sick cat.
He raised him little by little until he grew up to this age.
Xia Yi is about to become an adult, and his body is growing taller like a green bamboo after the rain.
What is the name of being swallowed by Xia Yi?
Is it the female monarch?
Are you a friend?
Or a guardian insect?
Enoch sometimes has a recurring absurd dream.
He watched Shay and the female king he had personally chosen step into the wedding hall.
And he could only sit in the main seat.
As an elder, as a guardian.
Sometimes he would watch Shay and his female monarch walk onto the flower path that they had arranged together, and watch Shay's back getting farther and farther away.
Sometimes he would transform into his original form and tear everything apart.
Then I saw Shay's frightened face.
“That’s the pudding!”
Shay held the tray in one hand and moved through the swarm of insects. He was very skilled at this, with a smile on his face the whole time.
He loves this job.
Even though there was so much money in the family that he could not squander it all in several lifetimes.
Shay put the pudding on the table and brought him a small spoon.
There is a cute cat paw print in the middle of the spoon.
"I know you don't like using outside cutlery. This spoon is mine."
Shay whispered.
"But you should trust the hygiene of our 'Sunny Day'!"
"I'll come over to eat once the pork chop rice is ready. I'm so busy today. I don't know why there are so many guests at this time."
Shay said this and returned to the sink.
The gray-eyed female insect stared at him.
Why are there so many guest insects?
The answer is obvious.
Ninety percent of the guest insects here are single females, and the smell of their restlessness is so great that it is about to overflow.
Their eyes would occasionally linger on the male insect behind the sink.
——Put it on the male insect that belongs to him.
Gentle, shy, sweet, expectant.
——It’s all wishful thinking.
Enoch scooped out a spoonful of pudding and put it into his mouth.
His tongue lingered for a moment on the cat's paw print.
His gray eyes were like the gloomy sky before a snowstorm.
"Is it not tasty, Enoch?" Shay came over with the pork chop rice. "Your eyes look unhappy."
Shay forced a smile on his pork chop rice with ketchup.
Enoch looked up, and the warm yellow light of the chandelier met his eyes.
Along with it, there was a tall male insect standing in front of him.
The blizzard has just cleared up.
