Q: How to develop a sweet relationship with a female gentleman

Before dinner, Cedric took a few more photos, and then a bug grabbed the terminal and did something unknown.

Qiao Wang thought he was going to post his daily life on social media, but when he clicked on the female insect's homepage, there was nothing. Seeing that the female insect didn't seem to want to say anything, Qiao Wang didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Qiao Wang grabbed Cedric and changed his medicine before going into the room to deal with his own affairs.

The Zerg's technology is very advanced, but relatively speaking, the pollution is very serious. In addition, this race is not good at planting, resulting in plants being very scarce.

The Imperial Botanical Research Institute has been spending money on plant research, but the results have been minimal. Even if plants are cultivated, they are fragile and cannot be grown on a large scale.

Today, a lot of natural food suddenly appeared in Qiao Wang’s live broadcast, which was undoubtedly a surprise for plant research enthusiasts.

Qiao Wang also understood their urgency and excitement, and quickly agreed to their wish to obtain a natural plant. But Qiao Wang wanted more than just a reward.

If you want to discuss growing these plants with me later, please feel free to contact me.

Bugs in the research institute: ???!!!

"What do you mean?"

“This anchor can grow natural plants?!”

"But if a streamer knows how to grow crops, why would he become one? Wouldn't he just come to a research institute? The salaries there are quite high."

"...Although, the current rewards this streamer receives aren't lower than our salaries, right?"

"..."

"Could it be a hidden boss?"

"But everyone with some ability in the entire empire has been 'confiscated'. How could they possibly become anchors?"

"You're not just bragging, are you?"

"Stop talking, and first ask him if he has any seeds of these natural plants."

Plant cultivation is a technical job, and in a heavily polluted interstellar world, clean soil is extremely scarce and expensive. This shows that growing natural plants requires both skills and money.

Therefore, the scientific researcher did not quite believe that Qiao Wang could grow plants.

But even if there was only a small chance, they were unwilling to let it go and sent a message to Qiao Wang. Qiao Wang did not beat around the bush and directly sent a message about his small vegetable garden.

Qiao Wang quietly moved the soil he'd earned with his points to the small courtyard of his villa. Some of the seeds he'd planted had already sprouted, with tender green branches emerging. For aesthetic reasons, he'd also transplanted a number of flowers nearby. Overall, the garden looked more like a flower garden than a vegetable garden.

The scientific researchers were stunned when they saw the photos sent by Qiao Wang.

"This...is this fake?"

“Lots of natural plants…”

The Zerg love colorful things. Due to soil and various problems, natural flowers and plants cannot be produced on a large scale, but some smart merchants have created artificial flowers and plants.

These artificial plants look exactly like natural plants. They will not wither or die, and are always in a near-perfect state. However, they unexpectedly lack vitality and fun.

The images Qiao Wang sent contained so many plants that the researchers subconsciously assumed they were fake. But after closer inspection, they discovered signs of damage to the plant's branches and leaves, and even tiny specks of withered crimson on the ground.

They boldly thought, maybe this is true?

Imperial Botanical Research Institute: Sir, what is this?

[I will also work hard today: my garden.]

Qiao Wang responded quickly, completely unaware of how shocked the scientific researchers on the other side of the computer were.

"Quick, we must strive to cooperate with this teacher!" Ali, one of the leading bugs in the institute, immediately responded. He even changed the way he addressed Qiao Wang.

The other insects were also secretly excited. They had a premonition that there would be a major breakthrough in the empire's plant research.

Qiao Wang only wanted money and not fame, and the research institute was not short of money and was willing to pay a large consulting fee for every guidance given by Qiao Wang. The two parties quickly reached a cooperation.

By the time everything was settled, it was already dark.

Qiao Wang knocked on Cedric's door and went in after receiving a response.

The female insect was busy with official business, perhaps out of frustration, and had unbuttoned a few buttons on her shirt, revealing her fair skin. His lips were slightly pursed, his expression serious and cold, a stark contrast to his usual refined and gentle demeanor. Furthermore, his excellent appearance gave him an air of abstinence and austerity.

The male insect had been in for a long time, and Cedric hadn't heard his voice, so he looked up: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Wang came back to his senses and smiled: "It's getting dark, what do you want to eat?"

Cedric hesitated for a moment: "Anything is fine."

He thought to himself, whatever the male insects cook is delicious.

Unlike the hasty lunch, Qiao Wang prepared five dishes and a soup for dinner, showing his sincerity. The female insects were naturally very happy to eat and even talked a lot.

Qiao Wang, noticing this change, felt helpless, angry and amused. But when he met the female insect's satisfied eyes, his slight awkwardness instantly disappeared. He casually picked up a dish and placed it in the female insect's bowl: "Try this."

During the evening, Cedric felt uneasy.

Logically speaking, he and Qiao Wang are already in a marriage relationship now. If the male insect asks him to fulfill his obligations as a partner, he has no way to refuse.

Sex is not valued among the Zerg. They can have sex if they're attracted to each other, and they can also have sex even if they're married but not in love. What the Empire cares about is fertility and reproduction.

Logically, Cedric didn't care about any of this. He'd been taught since childhood about his obligations as a female insect, and he'd seen plenty of erotica among the upper classes. Over the years, he'd been prepared for the intimacy of a male insect without any feelings.

But for some reason, when he thought of Qiao Wang, Cedric became unexpectedly nervous and didn't want to have sex too hastily.

He thought he was not prepared.

So when Qiao Wang finished his shower and knocked on Cedric's door, Cedric said without thinking, "I don't want to do it today. Go away."

"..."

The male insect had just emerged from the shower, his body still shrouded in mist. His eyes were half-closed, his wet black hair tumbling across his forehead. His eyes, now misty, appeared clear and gentle. Further down, were bright red lips, jade-like skin, and then...

The thin collarbone under the unbuttoned pajamas, and then...

Cedric glanced at it, his breath caught, and he quickly looked away. Then, belatedly, he remembered what he had just said, and his face flushed.

Qiao Wang was not in a good condition either. He opened the door and heard these words, and his ears immediately turned red.

He came here to ask the female insect if she wanted to watch a movie together on the light computer, not to... do it.

There was a moment of silence, and awkwardness filled the air.

Finally, Qiao Wang coughed unnaturally, breaking the silence: "I was browsing the Star Network today and saw a new movie that was recently released. Do you want to watch it together?"

Cedric glanced at the male insect secretly and responded with a "hmm".

The man and the bug sat in the living room and turned on the movie called "Chasing Love".
