Chapter 256: Means to Keep You

He couldn't say anything to express his anger.

He was the only worm in the room willingly from the beginning to the end. The male worm was forced by him from the beginning to help him get through the fever period, and later on it was just to get some interest from him.

It's just an exchange of interests, and even the male insects don't get any benefits.

He just concealed his identity, so what qualifications does he have to make comments?

The quieter it was, the more uncomfortable Eastman felt.

He would rather hear Xie being angry and aggrieved. If he spoke it out, he would still have room to defend himself and could even explain himself a little and plead for himself.

But this is neither salty nor bland. If he keeps holding on to this topic, it will seem like he is deliberately looking for trouble.

"I didn't mean to hide my identity. When you misunderstood me at first, I realized that you would feel more comfortable if I approached you as a commoner, so I didn't tell you the truth."

"It doesn't matter. I don't mean to blame His Royal Highness."

Xie Si turned on his computer, called up the work that needed to be done, sat down on the bed and started working without continuing to talk.

Eastman's words were stuck in his throat.

But usually, Eastman and Xie Si stayed in the house and had no time to think about work. Xie Si didn't even have the chance to say "light computer" before he was pushed onto the bed.

Now it's like this, obviously he still cares.

Eastman watched for a while, then turned and left without staying any longer.

Xie Si's peeking gaze finally dropped, with a hint of relief.

The prince and he were not from the same class, and from a political point of view, Heras was a thorn in the side of the Insect Emperor.

Although he is capable, he has been stubborn and has not joined any family power, nor has he given the Insect Emperor any leverage to control him. So it is inevitable that His Majesty the Insect Emperor dislikes Heras.

As for whether he would use other insects to eliminate this hidden danger, it depends on whether the Insect Emperor has a broad mind.

In short, as the insect cub of the Insect Emperor, Eastman cannot be a bug that stands on his side. As long as their relationship is not hostile, it is already very friendly.

He should have thought it through clearly, but unfortunately, once feelings are given, how can it be so easy to take them back?

Xie Si silently turned off the laptop he had just taken out for show, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts and get himself out of those fragile and coquettish emotions that a female soldier shouldn't have.

We shouldn't put our hopes on male insects.

He just fought some battles and gained a little fame. How could he be qualified to ask the prince to do anything for him?

Xie Si suddenly remembered very clearly - his body was covered with scars, and those scars made his body not as smooth as that of the Asian female.

This happens to every female insect. No matter how good the insect's self-repair ability is, it cannot withstand the deep injuries that can be seen through the bones again and again.

Such a body, such an identity.

It seems that he has no right to disturb the life of an imperial prince.

The closed door opened quietly.

After opening a crack, he seemed to remember something, and there were three knocks on the door.

Xie Si felt that he was too sentimental and had actually been distracted by such an emotional matter. Like a little insect, he secretly hoped that there would be another insect to comfort him.

"Your Highness, if you want to come in, just come in. There's no need to knock."

Xie Si shouted towards the door.

Eastman came in with a full glass of hot water and shook himself as he walked in, letting the water splash over his fingers.

"hiss!"

The water is hot.

Eastman frowned and cried out in pain, but he did not hesitate to pass the water to Xie Si: "Drink some water."

Xie Si's eyes swept over his red fingers, frowned, stood up and took the water: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this..."

"Don't call me Your Highness. If you... don't want to call me Lord, just call me Isman."

Eastman felt that every time Xie Si called him "Prince", he was condemning him and reminding him, but his attitude was so respectful that he couldn't even get angry.

Eastman found a chair in the room that was neither too far nor too close and sat down, fearing that Xie Si would return the cup to him and then kick him out.

"I'm just watching you work. I won't disturb you."

Eastman had little experience in coaxing insects.

In the situations he encountered before, those insects always rushed to appease him.

Xie Si seemed not to notice the boiling tea. After drinking it all, he stared at Eastman's fingers: "Your Highness...Your Highness...Your Highness Eastman, your hand..."

Eastman's heart skipped a beat. Although there wasn't much improvement, at least Xie was correcting it according to his wishes. Didn't that mean he was willing to listen to him?

In other words, can the relationship between them still be the same as before?

"My hand is fine."

Eastman waved his hands nonchalantly, but the part that was scalded by the water was burning with pain, and even if he pretended, he couldn't change this fact.

Xie Si could see it.

"Your Highness, the relationship between us... I'm sorry. I wanted to settle it privately with you before, but I broke the law knowingly. It has nothing to do with other insects. If you want to protect your rights, I am willing to admit that I forced the male insect and take all responsibility."

"Why are you saying this suddenly? Are you in a hurry to get rid of me just because my identity is exposed?"

"No, Your Highness," Xie Si's voice was very calm, "It was just my fault from the beginning. Our relationship is impossible to have any result, and I..." I am really not worthy of such a good male insect.

If it was a commoner, Xie Si could repay him with his whole life's efforts, but this was a prince, and pestering him who was unmarried would only be an act of repaying kindness with enmity.

Eastman stood up and staggered as he walked out of the house: "Don't talk yet, wait here, I'll go get a glass of water."

Eastman was tripped several times by the unfamiliar equipment in the room.

Xie Si followed him out worriedly, and watched him pick up the hot water absent-mindedly and pour it into the cup, outside the cup, and into his own hands.

“That’s enough!”

Xie Si finally couldn't bear to watch it anymore and snatched the boiling water kettle from the male insect.

"Your Highness, why would you do this when there are robot bugs?"

Things like serving tea and pouring water can be done directly by robot insects, and there is no need for insects to do it at all.

Eastman looked back at Xie Si with a helpless look in his eyes.

"I didn't mean to hide this from you. I apologize. As for your identity... I'll find a way. Can we not separate for now?"

Xie Si looked at his swollen hands and trembled with anger: "So, this is your way of keeping me?"

Although Eastman's action looks natural, who would pour water on a bug for no reason? They are all self-reliant bugs with coordinated brains and small brains. Who would be so stupid as to pour water on their hands? Twice in a row?

Eastman lowered his head dejectedly: "Don't be angry, I just wonder if you would feel more sorry for me if I got hurt? Maybe you wouldn't..."
