Chapter 276: Approaching Secretly

After confirming that Eastman was neither injured nor forced by Wally, Xie walked away with a blank expression.

Male insects will only behave themselves if they are hung on the wall.

He locked the bug in a room under strict surveillance, but it was still caught.

It's not like he doesn't know the tricks of the Insect Emperor.

Before, I was too disdainful to deal with it, and I didn't want to put Eastman in the middle.

But now I find that the Insect Emperor is going even further.

Since these are bugs he doesn't want, what's wrong with him picking them up?

Are you still interested in snatching it back?

Xie Si was in a more and more unhappy mood. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was unexpected that they met in such a place.

But no matter how he treated her coldly, Eastman always followed him.

Just like a tail, it neither went forward to disturb him nor was willing to lag behind, following him closely.

Xie Si looked at his anxious look, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind to let him go away.

Just let him follow like this.

Every now and then, he would look back and Eastman would be frightened and want to cover his face, but there was nowhere to hide.

Xie Si felt extremely complicated. He simply calmed down and did his own thing, no longer paying attention to Eastman.

After a while, Heras issued an order, requiring all the female soldiers to go outside to dig out the explosives buried underground and eliminate the hidden dangers as quickly as possible. Xie Si recruited several male insects to help, and left with a hoe.

Eastman naturally responded immediately. When he stood up, he didn't even dare to look at Xie, for fear of detecting disgust in his eyes.

But Xie Si did not make any comment on this.

It’s just that only by drying living insects can you have food to eat.

Eastman and several other male insects didn't get the digging tools and were looking at each other in bewilderment. But someone pushed them and said, "Go ahead. Aren't you familiar with that insect?"

Previously, the photos of Eastman and Sheth were circulated everywhere in the streets and alleys, and these male insects had seen them, but it was not known whether the impression they retained was the version of the Insect Emperor or the version clarified by Eastman.

All in all, the only thing that can be confirmed is that there is an unusual connection between the two insects.

Eastman thought that Xie Si might not want to see his face like this.

It was a rare opportunity to have such a legitimate and close conversation, and Eastman really didn't want to miss it.

"Sir..."

Eastman's voice was low, not knowing how he would be received.

But Xie Si was obviously businesslike.

After giving him the digging tools as he requested, no one ever gave him a second glance.

But no objection means... acquiescence.

Eastman immediately started to push the issue further. After getting the shovel and distributing it to the male insects, he picked a good location for himself, very close to Xie Si.

Just dig a little further over there and you'll get closer.

Eastman's calculations were quite sound.

At least Xie Si heard it.

But seeing his face and hands covered in mud, his palms red from being rubbed, and his face sweating from the sun, Xie Si still couldn't say anything to drive him away.

They just silently increased the speed of digging. If they couldn't finish it before the explosion, all of them, the bugs, would die here.

Eastman also followed, with a sweaty face, looking very stubborn.

Xie Si saw that he was not in a good condition and wanted to let Chong go to rest, but he refused to listen until Xie Si strengthened his tone, then Eastman became more obedient.

After a while, rumors came from somewhere, which frightened the male insects who boasted of their noble status and did not have to work. They quickly got up from their seats and started working.

The news also reached Eastman.

The bomb was about to explode and they had no time to dig.

Eastman's heart sank. Although he didn't know whether the news was true or not, if it was true, he and Xie Si would have no future. The apologies and reparations that were buried deep in his heart and never spoken out would always be just his fantasy.

Looking at Xie Si who was still digging the soil beside him, Eastman suddenly became angry and rushed over to kiss him on the face.

And then... I was shocked by my own bold behavior.

Shivering.

He mustered up the courage to ask Mr. Xie to forgive him.

Suddenly, he thought it would be better to let Xie Si beat him up directly.

Xie Si looked at Eastman, kissed him, and then lay on top of him, looking up with a pitiful look, as if asking for a kiss or expecting a slap in the face, and fell into deep thought.

Who on earth made him like this?
