Chapter 285: Can You
Chapter 285: Can You
The screams attracted a large number of insect servants, who hurriedly tried to rush in, but suddenly they heard the voice of the insect queen:
"No, don't come in!"
"But Queen Insect..."
"I told you not to come in. I'm fine. You can all leave now."
One of the insect servants, still uneasy, asked, "Mother Insect, if it's inconvenient for you, you can use the mental link to contact her."
This insect servant meant that if she were threatened, she could directly call for help through a mental link.
However, he was clearly overthinking it.
Shen Qingqing's voice came again, but this time it wasn't as trembling as before, "I'm fine, I'm just, um, just a little thirsty. Could you please make me a pot of tea and bring it to my door? Just leave it there."
"Yes, Queen Insect, would you like Brown Tea or West Point Black Tea?" the Insect Servant asked dutifully.
"Hmm, either way is fine... Ah, Brown, just give me Brown tea. You can leave the tea at the door; there's no need to wait there."
For some reason, the Insect Servant could detect a hint of panic in her voice, but when he thought of the spiritual link between their insect race, he felt relieved. For the time being, no race had been able to break through their connection, so the Insect Queen should be alright.
As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, the taut string in Shen Qingqing's mind snapped with a hum.
If the insect servants hadn't listened to her and had barged in... ahhh, then there would be no way to explain it!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing looked at the instigator, her eyes blazing with fury, as if she wanted to burn everything.
The one who started it all seemed to be lying on her side on the bed, with her head down and eyes lowered, not at all like someone who had done something wrong, but rather like someone who had wronged him.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingqing wasn't buying it. Under Saenster's eager gaze, she snatched the thin cloth from his hand with a gloomy expression, then pointed to the door, signaling him to leave.
At the critical moment, Saenster transformed from a smooth-talking, eloquent person who could attack any insect with a single word into a blind, timid, and socially awkward insect who could barely speak.
If she hadn't witnessed Sarnster's silver tongue and how one insect could command the strength of a thousand others, she probably would have truly believed it. Shen Qingqing's face grew even darker.
Seeing that Shen Qingqing didn't seem to be joking, Saenster's smile gradually faded. His eyes were deep and his expression serious. Upon closer inspection, Shen Qingqing could see a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Was she feeling wronged? She even doubted that she was seeing things, never suspecting that Saenster would show such an expression.
"Can you really bear to be irresponsible to me?" Saenster's voice was muffled as he gently tugged at the blanket, trying to evoke her sympathy. After all, he knew her and knew that his queen was soft-hearted and couldn't possibly be irresponsible.
"Responsible for?"
Now it was her turn to be confused. Could they really have... you know... last night? Impossible! She didn't feel anything, just a little soreness. Surely Saenster wouldn't be that weak...
Thinking about it, Shen Qingqing's gaze unconsciously drifted to the male insect opposite her. Saenster thought that his sob story had worked and was still smugly pleased with himself.
But it soon became clear that things weren't that simple.
There seemed to be something slightly off about the way Qingqing looked at him.
Wait, what kind of look is that? Does he not believe him?
As if struck by a sudden thought, Saenster's eyes widened, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.
Now he understands what that look meant.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him, nor that she disliked him climbing into her bed in the middle of the night, nor that she hated him sharing a bed with her.
That expression clearly showed that she thought he was no good!
"Qingqing, I..."
“Sarnster, actually…”
The two insects opened their mouths at the same time, then closed them at the same time, and then opened their mouths again.
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
"You can't sleep in the same bed with two kinds of insects," Sarnster thought to himself.
"Fine, you go first," Shen Qingqing sighed softly, sounding rather helpless.
Mustering his courage, Saenster finally spoke. However, what he wanted to say wasn't about giving her the title of "official wife," nor was it about making her the only male insect by her side—that would be too selfish, Saenster thought.
"Qingqing, I don't... I can't."
After hesitating for a long time, I finally spoke up to defend myself.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing was speechless. Wasn't this just like trying to hide something obvious?
If a male tells you he's not impotent, would you believe him?
Anyway, she doesn't believe it.
However, she couldn't bear to discourage him, so she said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, okay, I know you're not incapable, you're very capable, is that okay now?"
Saenster was even more unhappy.
That might work to fool a child, but it's not very effective on him.
"Qingqing, I really can do it, really!"
As he finished speaking, his tone became increasingly anxious, as if he was afraid that Shen Qingqing would believe his lie about being incapable and then leave him.
Shen Qingqing was still thinking about how to coax him when she heard the sound of insect servants outside the door.
"My lady, here is your Brown Tea."
"Just leave it there, I'll get it later."
"Yes, Queen Insect."
The thumping sounds gradually faded away, and Shen Qingqing quickly got out of bed, saying to herself as she walked, "Oh dear, the tea won't taste good if it gets cold, I have to get it over here quickly."
Saenster's face darkened as he neither convinced Shen Qingqing of his competence in bed nor received any official recognition.
The method Ge Yuan gave was completely useless!
……
"Ah!"
Ge Yuan, who was enjoying a wonderful vacation far away, sneezed, rubbed her high, straight nose, and said:
"Huh? Who's missing me?"
Among those entitled to paid leave, Ge Yuan is at the forefront.
There was no other reason than that the Zerg Queen had recently taken pity on the people and decided to give all registered Zerg employees two days off, so Ge Yuan immediately took out her already packed luggage and boarded the first interstellar train.
"It's time to go back."
Glancing at her watch, Ge Yuan lazily rose from the recliner, her graceful figure fully revealed beneath the white gauze.
Of course, it was just her and Nordlin here, otherwise she wouldn't have dressed like this.
Nordlin, who was acting as a baggage handler and a nouveau riche spender, was still dutifully digging sand to build a castle, something Goi had asked him to do from the beginning, and he had to finish it.
“Alright, stop playing in the sand,” Ge Yuan said, walking over in a thin gauze coat and leaning against Nordlin’s back. “Let’s set off back to Wangxing immediately.”
“But the castle…” Nordlin didn’t do these meticulous tasks, so after two days, the sand had only piled up into the shape of a pointed top, without even a trace of a castle.
"There'll be plenty of time later. Let's pack up and head back to Wangxing to see how Qingqing and Saenster's relationship has progressed... Hehe, I'm really looking forward to their honeymoon..."
