Chapter 119
No original Zerg could be lazy under his hands, not a single one.
Qi Heng and Qi Lan discussed the establishment of a C-level resource insect nest, and they breathed a sigh of relief after finalizing the details. Qi Lan was one of the key people, and if he was missing, it would cause a great obstacle to his plan... In serious cases, it might even cause the plan to stagnate.
Next, it's the dungeon... Chu Xiu's side...
Qi Heng was thinking in his heart.
"Chu Xiu, your father..." As he spoke, he looked at the little bug lying on Qi Lan's tail. He wanted to ask where Chu Xiu was going but he was speechless and couldn't say anything.
Looking at the appearance of the little bug cub, is there any need to ask? It is obvious that he was busy with "work" again and left the bug cub alone.
Qi Heng sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that Chu Xiu would consider moving his office, but now it seemed that he probably felt that traveling back and forth would waste time, and had never considered handling the affairs of the dungeon in the Dead Egg Pit.
The insect cub had very sharp ears, and even though Qi Heng only mentioned it softly, he immediately recognized it.
Striving to stand up from Qi Lan's tail, the insect cub asked in a soft voice, "Is the male father looking for the female father?"
Qi Heng hesitated for a moment, but facing the insect cub's expectant gaze, he finally nodded and said, "Yeah."
The bug's eyes lit up even brighter. As if afraid he would run away, he reached out and grabbed his trouser leg. His tone rose with a hint of excitement as he said, "The female father is about to arrive. Can the male father wait for a moment?"
"The female father misses you very much! He knows that you, the male father, are coming, and he will definitely come as soon as possible!" The insect cub emphasized.
Qi Heng: “…”
To be honest, he didn't really want to see Chu Xiu, because as soon as he saw Chu Xiu, he couldn't help but recall his dark history.
Oh, now that I think about it, this little bug in front of me is also a relic of dark history.
I really want to go back to the past and beat the self who played games to death. I let you play with your hands, I let you play with your hands. Now you feel better, don’t you?
No, if he could really go back to the past, he would never download the game that could be said to have changed his life that day.
It is difficult to say whether the previous days of living a life of eating and waiting to die are better or the current experiences, where one can foresee how magnificent and eventful the future life will be, are better. After all, the former is no longer something he can experience, while the latter is on the way.
Although the system says that you can return to your original world if you achieve your goal, this is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey - it is bait that drives the donkey forward but cannot be touched.
Besides, the self in that world was most likely already missing. ...Unlike the soul traveling across worlds described in novels, from the moment he arrived in this world, the system had clearly indicated that the two bodies had merged.
Thinking too far ahead.
Qi Heng pulled his thoughts back in time and focused on the "difficult problem" that was now in front of him.
He was lost in thought for only a moment, and when he came to his senses and met a pair of round eyes that were sparkling with anticipation, he fell silent for a moment.
If I tell the kid I'm leaving at this moment, will he burst into tears?
Think about it, it's very likely to happen.
...The kid had cried and hugged me and refused to let go before.
"The last time the male father came, the female father missed him and was sad for a long time--" The little bug kept talking, not realizing that his behavior was no different from exposing his female father's past.
"And..." Bug Boy said a little shyly, "I also want Father Xiong to stay longer."
Obviously, these words touched Qi Lan's heart. Qi Lan, who was standing beside him, tilted his head back and let out an "Ao" in agreement.
After hearing this, Qi Heng had nothing else to puzzle over. Connecting the cause and effect, he understood what Chongzai had been emphasizing about Chu Xiu arriving soon.
He pinched the bug cub's cheek and said, "When did you tip off, huh?"
The bug boy blinked and asked in confusion, "Tip it off? What does that mean?"
“…” As expected, he was a clueless cub. He said, “It’s not important.”
Qi Heng wasn't angry at the bug's behavior; he just found it a little amusing. However, he also knew that this was probably Chu Xiu's intention... Didn't he see him last time...
I have to say it, but actually I was somewhat avoiding Chu Xiu last time.
It's so embarrassing.
It's okay to communicate through the blue-tailed butterfly normally, but once we meet face to face, it's completely unavoidable.
Whenever he thought of the delicate emotions that were about to overflow from those cobalt blue eyes looking at him, he felt the urge to dig a hole and bury himself.
Excluding the occasional first-person movie-watching dream, he and Chu Xiu had only met twice, including their first meeting. However, Chu Xiu's attitude towards him was clearly different from the first time they met.
Maybe even earlier...
In his dream, he discovered that Chu Xiu's feelings towards the 'Master' were a little off. Was it admiration? Loyalty? Worship? Or even awe? It seemed to be a little bit of everything.
Even someone as analytical as Qi Heng would find it difficult to determine what emotion Chu Xiu inadvertently revealed.
——But there is one thing Qi Heng can be sure of.
——That’s not ‘love’.
Although I have been single since birth and have never been in a relationship, I have seen pigs run, but I have eaten pork.
Qi Heng dared to guarantee that if Chu Xiu loved the Lord, then that "love" was too complicated.
...There is no love between Chu Xiu and the Lord, but there is an egg. Tsk, now that you put it that way, it sounds even more despicable.
The person involved, Qi Heng, expressed his displeasure.
However, this also raises a question, which is - does Chu Xiu know this?
After thinking about it again and again, he felt that Chu Xiu probably didn't know.
The 'emotion' that is a mixture of multiple meanings may not be love, but judging from the importance of the Lord in Chu Xiu's heart, it is definitely more important than identities such as sweetheart and partner.
It is entirely possible to mistake this feeling for love.
So how should I point this out to Chu Xiu tactfully so that he can understand that there is no possibility between them?
Qi Heng had a calm expression on his face, but his emotions were fluctuating greatly. Even though he had never been in love, he should, probably, perhaps, not choose a male partner... right?
When he was distracted, he looked like he was thinking about something important. This was evident from the quietness of Chongzai and Qi Lan who didn't make any noise to disturb him.
Before Qi Heng could figure out how to talk to Chu Xiu, a figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Chu Xiu immediately looked towards the space on the fourth floor, and then saw the man standing on the platform. Even though the other party didn't notice him, it didn't affect his excitement.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his breath which had become rapid due to running, and hastily tidied his hair, Chu Xiu walked towards His Excellency the Lord.
Qi Heng's five senses were sharper than he thought. Almost the moment he heard the footsteps, he noticed the direction the sound came from.
Naturally, the first thing he saw was a female insect that seemed calm but was actually in a hurry.
The slim-fitting shirt and trousers perfectly accentuated the boy's slender figure, revealing his slender waist and long, straight legs. His previously loose silver hair was tied back with a hairband woven from fallen branches, now cascading down to his waist.
No one can turn a blind eye to beautiful things, not even Qi Heng. So even though he was thinking of drawing a clear line between them, when he saw Chu Xiu, he couldn't help but be attracted by his good looks for a moment.
