Kāng nà instinctively took half a step back, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The moment he posted online about his divorce from Jiā lè tè, it was as if he had already torn his face with the female bug. Why was the female bug still kneeling before him, calling him “male master” and apologizing?

This didn’t make any sense!

At the same time, Jiā lè tè, who hadn’t received a response for a long time, cautiously inched forward, reaching out to touch Kāng nà’s sleeve, his golden eyes filled with a pleading look: “male master…”

“What are you doing?” Kāng nà suddenly pulled away from Jiā lè tè’s hand, his voice calm but laced with coldness, like a bottomless dry well, or the snow that never melts on a snow-capped mountain. “We’re already divorced, please have some self-respect, Marshal.”

The female bug knelt humbly on the ground, shaking her head in pain: “male master, Jiā lè tè didn’t mean it that way. Please, Jiā lè tè doesn’t want a divorce.”

Before Kāng nà could respond, several female bugs who had come for matchmaking could no longer hold back.

“Hey, what number are you, buddy? Don’t you understand the order of arrival?” The first female bug stood in front of Jiā lè tè, casually lifting her shirt hem to reveal eight smooth abs.

“Yeah, not only are you cutting in line, but why are you calling him ‘male master’? How rude!” The second female bug pouted.

“Even if you are Kāng nà’s female lord, you have no right to interfere with the male master’s matchmaking!” The third female bug slightly flapped her wings, scooting over to Kāng nà’s side, squatting down to massage his legs. “Please don’t be angry, it’s not worth it.”

“What are you doing?!” Jiā lè tè suddenly stood up, his golden eyes shooting out sharp glints of cold light.

The third female bug trembled at the shout, looking up as if to glare back. But Jiā lè tè was, after all, a 3S-level female bug who had climbed to the position of Marshal through her own efforts, and the third female bug felt an unnamed pressure enveloping her, making every hair on her body stand on end, and she couldn’t help but awkwardly retract her hand.

“You five, get lost now.” Jiā lè tè’s deep voice was filled with anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

The five female bugs exchanged glances, and ultimately chose life over freedom and love, lowering their heads and walking out of the Left Bank Café in unison.

Thus, only Jiā lè tè and Kāng nà remained in the café.

“male master.” Jiā lè tè’s imposing aura suddenly vanished, and he knelt humbly before Kāng nà again. “male master, please.”

Kāng nà’s temples throbbed; it no longer mattered what this female bug was putting on a show for today. The most pressing issue was how he could leave.

“Now that we’re divorced, let’s not entangle ourselves any further.” While entangled with Jiā lè tè, Kāng nà secretly pressed the alarm button on his smart brain.

“male master, I don’t want a divorce.” Jiā lè tè suddenly remembered something, trembling as he took out his smart brain and opened an account with a long string of balance. “male master, are you short on money? I have money, I have a lot of money. Give me another chance, I’ll give you all my star coins.”

Kāng nà didn’t even look at him.

Not to mention how much he could earn from live streaming, even the jewelry he took with him was being bought back at high prices by netizens. That red and green gemstone necklace, which he priced at five hundred thousand star coins, sold for a full ten million. He was not short on money at all.

“male master, it’s dangerous outside. You don’t even have a bodyguard here. What if something happens?”

The anger that Kāng nà had barely managed to suppress flared up again.

This female bug still had the face to talk about danger? It was the most dangerous to be around him! Did she think he was the love-struck fool from his past life?

They were both thousand-year-old foxes; what was she trying to perform, a ghost story?

Kāng nà’s eyes burned with anger as he stood up abruptly, kicking Jiā lè tè down and stepping hard on the female bug’s ample chest. “I’ll tell you, without you, I live even better.”

The male bug bent over, his beautiful face showing a coldness that didn’t match his exquisite features, with his soft black hair falling over Jiā lè tè’s face.

Jiā lè tè felt a sharp pain in his heart, his mind going blank.

He had always been trying to make the male master live better, but now the male master said he would live better without him.

The female bug suddenly grabbed Kāng nà’s ankle, shaking his head in pain. “No, no, it’s not like that, male master…”

Kāng nà frowned and coldly shouted, “Let go!”

But Jiā lè tè seemed not to have heard, just shaking his head. “No, male master, it’s not like that, it can’t be…”

Just as they were at a standstill, the police finally arrived.

Two worker ants, one fat and one thin, holding laser guns, walked up to them and waved at Jiā lè tè. “You let him go first. Who called the police?”

Kāng nà took the opportunity to break free from Jiā lè tè’s grasp. “Officer, I called the police. This female bug is blocking me and not letting me leave.”

The two ant police looked at the well-dressed, handsome male bug in front of them, then at the female bug kneeling on the ground, covered in dust with a footprint on her chest, and asked in confusion, “What’s your relationship? Did you know each other before?”

“Not at all!”

“This is my male master.”

Kāng nà and Jiā lè tè spoke in unison.

The two police officers were even more puzzled, looking at each other, confused. “Wait, do you know each other or not?”

Kāng nà opened the divorce agreement on his smart brain. “Officer, we are already divorced. I have no relationship with him now. But he not only clings to me but also won’t let me leave. This female bug’s behavior has already involved illegal detention and could lead to fines or even detention.”

The fat officer glanced at the smart brain, nodded, and turned to Jiā lè tè. “Hey, I’m saying, you two are divorced. Why are you still clinging to him?”

“No, we’re not divorced.” Jiā lè tè suddenly remembered something, quickly opened the divorce agreement interface, and clicked to revoke the divorce agreement. “Officer, look, I’ve revoked it. We’re not divorced. I’m his female lord, and he’s my male master.”

They weren’t divorced; he still had a male master.

Tears suddenly fell from Jiā lè tè’s eyes as he looked at Kāng nà pleadingly. “male master, you can’t abandon me.”

With Jiā lè tè’s action, a line of big words popped up on the smart brain interface.
——The other party has revoked the divorce agreement, and the marriage is restored to legal effect. It will be better this time!
Followed by a red heart.

Kāng nà was so angry his head spun, and he could no longer hold back, erupting, “Jiā lè tè, what exactly do you want?”

Jiā lè tè just shook his head in pain. “male master, I don’t want a divorce.”

“Whether we get divorced or not is not up to you.” Kāng nà didn’t even give Jiā lè tè a glance, just nodded at the two police officers. “You also saw it; this female bug is mentally unstable. Please help me stop her.”

Watching Kāng nà’s departing figure, Jiā lè tè finally couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, “The divorce agreement has been revoked! According to the law, unless I agree, you can’t dissolve our marriage!”

The anger in Kāng nà’s heart collided with his forehead again, and he turned back, coldly looking at the hysterical female bug. “Do you still have the face to talk to me about the law?”

Jiā lè tè was taken aback by the male master’s gaze, his heart racing, his mind going blank.

Before he could think clearly, Kāng nà had already stepped closer, his dark almond eyes like the sea before a tsunami, calm yet hiding a surging hatred. “If we really go by the law, I shouldn’t have married a low-ranking military female bug who crawled out of a slum as my female lord. If we really go by the law, I shouldn’t have made any promises of a lifetime and a pair of bugs with a female bug. If we really go by the law, even if you are my female lord, you have no right to interfere with my matchmaking!”

If we really go by the law, the female bug who personally killed the male master should first be locked in a confinement room, starved and dehydrated for a week, then have her wings pulled off and limbs chopped off, tied up and thrown to a desolate star to be gnawed to death by star beasts.

Kāng nà sneered, staring at the tall female bug, asking each word like a knife stabbing into Jiā lè tè’s heart, making him bleed profusely. The female bug bit his lip in pain, trembling all over, his voice quivering. “male master, I… no… I didn’t mean it like that… Jiā lè tè was wrong, male master…”

Kāng nà ignored him, took off the platinum brooch inlaid with blue gemstones from his suit, and handed it to one of the police officers. “I’ll be leaving now. Thank you for your trouble.”

Looking at the heavy, shiny blue gemstone on the brooch, the two ant police officers instantly broke into smiles, their antennae excitedly standing up like two antennas.

The fat officer nodded and bowed to Kāng nà. “Rest assured, although this is Ant Star, the bug tribe embassy has also instructed us to provide special protection for male bugs. We will definitely do our best to ensure your safety.”

Kāng nà nodded and boarded the shared starship as soon as he left. Jiā lè tè, in a panic, was about to rush over when he was stopped by the two ant police officers with laser guns.

The fat officer had a serious expression. “Hello, sir, you are suspected of illegal detention. Please come with me to the police station for questioning.”

The thin officer leaned against the fat officer’s shoulder, seemingly casually extending his right hand, pinching his thumb and index finger together.

Jiā lè tè had no weapons on him and didn’t dare to confront the ant police officers directly. He searched his pockets but couldn’t find anything valuable.

He pulled out his smart brain and opened his account. “Can I transfer money? Can I transfer money?”

The thin officer immediately got angry. “Transfer money? What are you transferring? You’re actually trying to bribe the officer? Come with us!”

The fat officer pulled out electric handcuffs and cuffed Jiā lè tè, pressing a baton against his neck as he dragged him out.

Jiā lè tè finally couldn’t hold back any longer and roared, “I’m the Marshal of the Bug Star! I have immunity; you can’t just detain me!”

“Marshal of the Bug Star?” The fat officer glanced at the thin officer. “Captain, he says he’s the Marshal of the Bug Star.”

The thin officer looked at the shoe print on Jiā lè tè’s chest and laughed so hard that his antennae shook. “If he’s a Marshal, then I’m the Bug Emperor!”

Jiā lè tè was confused as he was taken away, only able to signal to the corner where Lái ēn was hiding to follow Kāng nà’s starship.

• As soon as Kāng nà entered his home, he saw Lǎo lā leaning on the sofa, playing with a kitten and a cat teaser. The sheriff and Huā huā both jumped up to grab the feathers on the cat teaser, only to collide with each other and fall onto the long-haired carpet, letting out a miserable cry.

“Hahaha, little fools.” Lǎo lā laughed so hard she bent over, picking up the quiet little Xuě who was lying nearby. “Look at them, aren’t they little fools? My little Xuě is the best, come give Uncle a kiss.”

Kāng nà couldn’t help but smile at this scene, his anger easing a bit.

“Oh, why are you back so early?” Lǎo lā put down the kitten and tilted her head to examine Kāng nà’s expression. “Something didn’t happen, did it?”

Kāng nà sighed. “Jiā lè tè came over.”

“Ah?”

Lǎo lā was so startled she almost dropped little Xuě on the floor. “How did he find his way here? He’s really a persistent ghost!”

“Who says he isn’t?” Kāng nà rubbed his temples tiredly.

“What does he want from you? Is he begging to get back together?” Lǎo lā looked at Kāng nà with concern. “You’ve always been soft-hearted; you mustn’t agree to get back together this time.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Kāng nà’s voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm.

Lǎo lā stuffed little Xuě into Kāng nà’s arms. “By the way, didn’t you say Jiā lè tè got together with the third prince? Now that you’ve divorced him, he should be eager to get away from you. Why is he rushing to find you?”

“Who knows what he’s thinking? He’s sick!” Kāng nà kissed little Xuě’s soft little face. “Let’s not worry about him; let’s live our own lives. I called the police at the Left Bank Café, so he shouldn’t be able to find me here for a while.”

However, this time, Kāng nà indeed underestimated the situation. Just after finishing dinner, there was a knock on the door.

“male master, male master, please open the door.”

“Damn!” Lǎo lā slammed her chopsticks on the floor. “How did this female bug find her way here? I’ll go and scold him away!”

Kāng nà’s expression changed as he grabbed Lǎo lā. “Don’t go! The more you scold him, the more he’ll come back.”

“Then should we just let him make a scene at the door?”

“If he makes enough noise for the neighbors to complain, he’ll behave.”

Lǎo lā frowned tightly. “But even if he stops making noise, having him guard our door every day is unbearable. How about I ask Nán xīng to help us rent a new place?”

Kāng nà irritably ran his fingers through his hair. “Let me think.”

On the other side of the door, Jiā lè tè was knocking at a rate of three times per minute. “male master, male master, please open the door!”

Lái ēn, who had just parked the shared starship, rushed over and hugged Jiā lè tè’s waist. “Marshal, what are you doing?”

“I’m knocking on the door!”

“Chasing a male master isn’t done this way. The more you knock, the more annoyed Kāng nà will get, and he’s even less likely to open the door for you.”

Jiā lè tè paused, silently lowering his hand. “Then tell me, how can the male master open the door for me?”

Lái ēn also looked dejected. “I don’t know either.”

To be precise, they didn’t even understand why Kāng nà was angry, let alone how to win him back.

Jiā lè tè bit his lip in disappointment, squatting down at the door. “I’ll wait; I’ll eventually wait him out.”

Rationality told Lái ēn that this wasn’t a good idea, but he really couldn’t think of any good strategies, so he could only sit with his Marshal.

“You don’t have to stay with me. The male master has found you; you and Ān dé lǔ should go back to the Bug Star tomorrow. I’ll handle the rest myself.”

Lái ēn looked at Jiā lè tè with concern. “Can you manage on your own?”

“I have to manage, even if I can’t. The male master is angry with me, and you staying here is useless.” Jiā lè tè forced a smile.

He owed debts that he had to repay himself.

Watching Lái ēn leave, glancing back three times, Jiā lè tè sat back down by the door.

The weather at the end of October was already a bit chilly, and the cold wind blew at night, making Jiā lè tè shiver involuntarily.

The dim yellow light in the corridor flickered on and off at an abnormal frequency. Jiā lè tè looked at the nearly broken light above his head and inexplicably thought of the house he rented when he first married the male master.

At that time, they had no money, couldn’t afford a house, and even the rented place was shabby, with the corridor lights often broken, flickering like this.

But back then, he and the male master were really happy. Every day, he looked forward to finishing his military tasks and returning home to go grocery shopping with the male master, cooking a warm pot of food together.

The male master would always complain about him wasting food while constantly serving him rice and meat, afraid he would go hungry.

Thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn’t accompanied the male master to the supermarket in a long time.

When did he start spending less and less time with the male master?

It seemed to have started after he was promoted to Major General and moved the male master to a bigger house.

He was so focused on getting promoted and providing better material conditions for the male master that he neglected the male master’s emotional needs. If he could do it all over again, he would rather not be promoted so quickly and spend more time with the male master.

The light above him flickered and then completely went out, plunging the corridor into endless darkness.

Jiā lè tè bit down hard on the soft flesh of his lip, trying to suppress the aching pain in his heart. He didn’t know how long it had been when he suddenly felt a few drops of cold liquid fall on the back of his hand. He raised his hand to touch his face, feeling dampness.

Two beautiful golden wings suddenly unfolded from behind, and Jiā lè tè hid behind the wings, silently shedding tears.
