Just going back like this?
"No, I want to leave here and go back to where I started."
Ruowen's fluffy hair rubbed against his chin. Mu Xiao did not say anything to keep her. He just sighed deeply and silently supported the female insect's choice.
He stood with her in front of the white marble stele for a long time, until the drizzle of rain hit his face. He finally persuaded Ruo Wen to leave. Before closing the car door, the female insect whispered, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used the name of revenge for you to do what I wanted."
The raindrops hanging on his long eyelashes fell mercilessly into his pupils. Mu Xiao rubbed his sore eyes, without any reaction, and watched the car leave silently.
A black shadow covered his figure, which was gradually being swallowed by the rain. He looked up at Alred, who had appeared out of nowhere, and smiled, "Why are you here?"
"Can you please stay away from those rotten bugs in the future? I don't want to see you make worthless sacrifices for other bugs anymore. They don't deserve it." Alred wrapped his hand around Mu Xiao's cold hand. He took off his heavy black coat to cover the female bug's skinny shoulders, and spoke out the words hidden in his heart.
Mu Xiao was at a loss in the drizzle, which made him regret his completely inclusive attitude in creating the insect design. Those garbage insects were not qualified to consume Mu Xiao anymore, and he would resist all the malice for him.
Alred held Mu Xiao's face in his hands, slowly lowered his head, and moved closer to the soft lips he had been thinking about day and night. When he was about to kiss her, he put a finger on his mouth, and the female insect stroked his lower lip with her index finger and said, "The surrounding environment is not suitable."
Mu Xiao lay exhausted in the recliner. He glanced at the male insect concentrating on driving and asked curiously, "What is your relationship with Aurelius?"
Aurelius's aggressive questioning of him yesterday seemed to indicate that he had a close relationship with Alred, which made him look like a third party.
When Alred heard the female insect's name, his pigeon-blood pupils gradually darkened. "He is just one of the people who wants to marry me. I have nothing to do with him."
"Then what is your relationship with him?" Alred changed the subject and directly disconnected the navigation in the car. He made a perfect drift and drove towards the woods with few insects.
Mu Xiao felt the seat slowly falling backwards. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Alred who had casually parked the car in the forest. He didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he was very angry.
He raised his hand, hooked the tie around the male insect's neck, and then pulled it towards him, deliberately slowing down his tone and saying, "I used to have a crush on him."
As he expected, the male insect instantly wilted. After a long silence, he uttered, "...Now?"
Mu Xiao placed his hands on the male insect's neck, then tightened his grip, forcing the other to get closer to him: "Not now, am I not with you now?"
"Stop teasing me..." Alred was amused and lost his temper. He lowered his head and rubbed the male insect's warm neck. His voice was muffled through the thick cloth.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Alred no longer felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He supported himself on both sides of the seat and prepared to get up and go back, but a strong force suddenly pulled him back. He stared at Mu Xiao. The female insect's clear dark green eyes reflected bright spots, and the orange-yellow light mixed in the other's hair, as if it was glowing.
"Just going back like this?" The female insect's bony fingers slowly and methodically unbuttoned her shirt, and every second was particularly tempting.
Alred seemed to hear the sound of himself swallowing his saliva, and his voice trembled as he said, "But, but..."
"No buts."
Mu Xiao didn't know what was going on. Maybe he was venting the emotions suppressed in his heart, or maybe he was anxious about the strange things that happened a few days ago. He just wanted to indulge himself and sink into another feeling.
When they returned to Castlelot Manor, the rain had stopped and the air was filled with a fresh scent. Mu Xiao had been in the limited space in the car for a long time, and breathing in the air made him feel much better.
He turned to look at Alred and was about to continue asking about Aurelius, but the moment his gaze shifted, his vision suddenly went dark again, and at the same time, a crackling sound of electricity rang in his mind. There seemed to be a vague insect sound in the sound of electricity, but when he listened carefully, the sound of electricity disappeared.
"Mu Xiao, Mu Xiao, why are you suddenly standing there in a daze?"
Alred's figure gradually appeared in his field of vision. He tried to explain what had just happened, but as before, he was still at a loss for words.
Mu Xiao realized that he was hiding other secrets. He shook his head and tried to smile, "It's okay. I just want to ask why Aurelius appeared on the desolate planet."
Maybe next time this happens, I'll be able to hear clearly what's in the sound of the electric current.
"Aurelius' father is cooperating with the underground city organization. He appeared on the deserted planet to ensure your safety." Alred asked his assistant to investigate Aurelius thoroughly yesterday in order to deal with his former rival.
Although Mu Xiao had prepared himself mentally, he was still disappointed by the reality: "So that's how it is. I thought there was someone as kind as me who would save the injured insects."
"No insect will be like you." Alred took the female insect's hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
They walked to the front of the villa in a loving manner, opened the door and saw Daryl and Qiao Nan who were also lovingly together. The four of them froze for a few seconds, then silently let go of each other's hands.
Mu Xiao felt as if he had been caught in a relationship by his partner's parents. He touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and said hello to Qiao Nan, who was in a much better state, "Long time no see, Qiao Nan."
Daryl knew Qiao Nan was shy. He caught a glimpse of the reddening ears of the female monarch and replied for him, "We can meet every day from now on. Can you tell me in advance when you come back next time?"
Alred was not willing to be outdone. He put his arm around Mu Xiao's shoulders and walked inside. He naturally sat on the sofa next to Xiong's father and said, "I am the heir of Kaslot. I can come back whenever I want. Do I need to report it?"
Daryl was speechless and could only hold Qiao Nan's waist and said angrily: "Let's go back to your home planet. I can't stand Alred's disgusting face."
"Alred didn't mean to say that. He's still young. It's better for you to handle Caslot's affairs here without running back and forth. Let's stay here." Qiao Nan has lived alone away from the family since Alred was born. He has never dealt with this kind of father-son conflict, so he can only learn the words from the family mediation programs he had seen before.
Daryl looked at Alred, who was almost as tall as him when he stood up, and found it hard to associate him with the word "young", but he just had to accept whatever the queen said.
Now that he and Qiao Nan had reconciled, and he could accept the two of them being together, he asked, "When are you getting married? I need to prepare for this in advance. After all, this isn't an ordinary family wedding, so it can't be done simply."
"Mu Xiao, what do you think?" Alred didn't expect that his father would take the initiative to bring up this matter. He obeyed Mu Xiao in everything and looked at the female insect.
Before Mu Xiao could open his mouth, the familiar feeling of dizziness came over him again. This time, it wasn't just a simple blackout in front of his eyes. His whole body collapsed uncontrollably on the sofa, and the voice contained in the electric current in his head became clearer and clearer.
