Jiā lè tè was kicked back slightly, but he quickly knelt upright again. He looked at the blushing Yǒngzǐ and couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips.

He really didn’t expect that the usually proactive Yǒngzhǔ would have a shy moment.

Jiā lè tè’s heart raced faster and faster, feeling a fire burning in his chest.

Thinking about it, he hadn’t served Yǒngzhǔ for a whole month.

The desire to devour Yǒngzǐ and the sincere willingness to submit to him alternated in his golden eyes. The powerful female bug knelt down half a step and gently kissed the tail hook coiled around Yǒngzǐ’s waist.

With a “bang,” the string in Kāng nà’s head snapped.

He suddenly stood up from the bed and pushed the female bug away, shouting, “What are you doing!”

Jiā lè tè, kneeling on the ground, looked up in confusion, blinking his golden eyes, “Yǒngzhǔ, what did I do wrong?”

Looking at those eyes filled with desire and that perfect face that seemed to grow on his XP points, Kāng nà felt a wave of nausea rise in his heart.

He had clearly gotten together with Huò ěr, so why was he putting on this submissive and pious act?

Thinking about the timeline, maybe the two of them were already plotting how to get rid of themselves!

On one hand, he wanted to climb up to the third prince’s branch, while on the other, he wanted to maintain his obsession with his husband, making a name for himself without letting down Yǒngzhǔ’s bug setup. It was simply despicable and shameless!

The tail hook quietly coiled around his waist, showing no signs of movement. Kāng nà clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, barely suppressing the urge to slap Jiā lè tè.

He forced a smile, took two steps back, and pretended to be disgusted as he looked at Jiā lè tè’s military uniform, “You’re so dirty, go take a shower. If you don’t wash up, you can’t get on my bed.”

Jiā lè tè suddenly realized. He looked at Kāng nà’s brand new suit and then at his own dusty and wrinkled military uniform. His cheeks couldn’t help but flush a little, feeling embarrassed as he took two steps back and bowed deeply, “Sorry, Yǒngzhǔ, Jiā lè tè will go take a shower right away.”

Watching the female bug walk a few steps into the bathroom, Kāng nà let out a half-sigh of relief, and his mind began to race.

How could he reasonably refuse to mate with Jiā lè tè?

Anxiously pacing around the suite, he inadvertently glanced at the wine cabinet next to the sofa.

In the next moment, a flash of inspiration struck Kāng nà.

If he got drunk, wouldn’t he not have to mate with Jiā lè tè?

The female bug usually didn’t let him touch alcohol, only allowing him to drink a little red wine on dates, but right now, Kāng nà couldn’t care less. He rushed to the wine cabinet, grabbed the biggest bottle of wine without caring what it was, opened the cap, and gulped it down.

Kāng nà had prepared himself for the bitterness of the alcohol, but unexpectedly, this bottle was sweet, a bit like juice, but with a richer flavor than juice.

He chugged down more than half the bottle in one go, letting out a satisfied burp, feeling his head spin, and seeing a few double images in front of him, his hands feeling a bit out of control.

With a “bang,” the wine bottle fell onto the carpet, and the yellow liquid slowly flowed out, soaking into the white carpet.

Jiā lè tè quickly took a combat shower, confirming that he was all clean before wrapping himself in a towel and stepping out.

In the next moment, the female bug froze.

The big bed in the bedroom was empty, with no sign of the male bug.

Jiā lè tè frowned, drying his half-wet hair as he walked into the living room, only to see the wine stains all over the floor and the male bug passed out beside it.

“Yǒngzhǔ!”

Jiā lè tè’s mind went blank as if hit by a laser gun. He dropped the towel he was using to dry his hair and rushed over, carefully holding Kāng nà in his arms, gently calling out, “Yǒngzhǔ, how could you drink so much!”

The male bug’s body was much weaker than the female bug’s. The higher the mental power level of the male bug, the weaker their body became. A male bug like Kāng nà, being an S-class, was especially prone to illness.

He still remembered when they had just gotten married and traveled to the northernmost part of the bug planet together. As a result, Yǒngzhǔ got sick when they returned, lying in the treatment pod for half a month before recovering. He would never forget the sight of the male bug’s pale face, lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.

At that moment, the female bug, who had lost his parents at a young age and struggled to survive in the slums, experienced fear for the first time.

He was afraid that his Yǒngzhǔ would leave him, afraid that he would become that lonely bug again.

The feeling of being loved was like being addicted to drugs; if you hadn’t tried it, you wouldn’t feel anything, but once you did, you could never let go!

Since then, he had cherished Yǒngzhǔ even more, never allowing him to touch cold alcohol, nor letting him engage in stimulating activities. After being promoted to major general, he even hired a group of caretaker bugs to take care of Kāng nà’s daily life.

Finally, through his efforts, the male bug had remained very healthy and happy.

But unexpectedly, Kāng nà actually drank so much today!

Jiā lè tè looked at the unresponsive male bug in his arms, his brows furrowing tightly as he opened his smart brain to video call the family doctor.

However, just as he was about to press the video request, the male bug in his arms slowly opened his eyes.

“What’s going on? I want to sleep!”

Jiā lè tè suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously asked, “Yǒngzhǔ, do you feel unwell? Do you want to throw up?”

“Unwell?” The drunk male bug’s thoughts were slower than usual as he tilted his head, “Not throwing up, just want to sleep.”

If he just wanted to sleep, that was fine.

Jiā lè tè finally had the time to pick up the wine bottle on the floor and examine it closely.

The bottle had a string of foreign words on it, and underneath the foreign text was the bug language—Ant Clan Golden Wine.

This time, Jiā lè tè was completely at ease, as the Ant Clan’s Golden Wine had a low alcohol content. Generally, unless it was a bug like Kāng nà who hardly ever touched alcohol, it wouldn’t lead to drunkenness.

With his worries dissipating, the hidden disappointment in his heart slowly surfaced.

Today was their wedding anniversary, and he had booked a hotel, but the male bug had gotten himself drunk.

Jiā lè tè sighed, suppressing the disappointment in his heart, and gently held Kāng nà in his arms, “Yǒngzhǔ, let’s go to bed.”

Kāng nà let out a grunt, his drunken eyes hazily looking at Jiā lè tè, “Who are you?”

“I’m Jiā lè tè.” The female bug steadily carried the male bug as he walked toward the bedroom.

“Jiā lè tè?” Kāng nà paused for a moment, then began to struggle violently, “You… don’t touch me, put me down.”

“Yǒngzhǔ, be careful not to fall!”

Jiā lè tè couldn’t care less about the kicks he received on his forearm, quickly taking a few steps to place the male bug on the bed, “Yǒngzhǔ, please don’t drink so much next time.”

Kāng nà shot a sideways glance at Jiā lè tè, “What right do you have to manage me!”

“I’m not managing you.” Jiā lè tè helplessly lowered his gaze, holding Kāng nà’s hand, “Today is our wedding anniversary, and you got yourself drunk without doing anything. Besides, I haven’t served you for a month; don’t you miss me?”

“Serve?”

Kāng nà was taken aback, and the anger and hatred that had been suppressed by fear finally broke free under the influence of alcohol.

Miss him?

Why would he miss this female bug who was about to poison him to death?

Kāng nà was so angry that his head felt dizzy, desperately reminding himself not to reveal the secret of his rebirth.

He couldn’t say it, but he could kick a few times, right?

Fueled by rage, Kāng nà lifted his foot and kicked hard at Jiā lè tè’s thigh, “I don’t want you to serve me, get lost!”
