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

There were many female soldiers returning from the front line, most of them were injured. Some of them supported each other with their arms around their shoulders, while others covered their wounds and moved forward. There was a lot of noise and confusion, but Qiao Wang only saw Cedric.

He just stood there, his clothes soaked in blood, his face pale. As he moved closer, Qiao Wang could clearly feel the other person's faint breath, as if he would leave at any time.

Unlike when they first met, this time, his injury was not humiliation, but honor.

Cedric obviously saw Qiao Wang as well. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but he was too weak and his voice was broken and he couldn't even form a sentence.

Qiao Wang's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't quite put his finger on the feeling. In his ears, the icy sound of Qiqi's alarm echoed, amplified by the surrounding cacophony, alongside the faint breathing of the female insect. The alternating sound, weak and strong, was eerily clear.

[Cedric's health decreased by 10%——]

[Cedric's health decreased by 7%——]

[Cedric's health decreased by 9%——]

【…】

"My Lord, don't be afraid."

The male insect had been well protected since childhood and had never seen such a bloody scene on the battlefield. Cedric keenly caught the unusual emotion in Qiao Wang's eyes. Worried that the other party would be scared, he forced himself to say that.

The hoarse words gently entered Qiao Wang's ears, but caused ripples in his heart.

Qiao Wang took a step forward and tried to catch the shaky female insect.

But as soon as he approached, Dr. Bryce came hurriedly and took Cedric away.

"Insect God! How did you get injured so badly?!"

Thanks to her S-level physique, Cedric was able to hold on for so long. If any other female soldier had been injured so severely, they would probably have died.

Dr. Bryce was busy running in and out, cursing constantly.

Qiao Wang waited outside the ward for a long time before he saw Dr. Brian. He stepped forward and said, "Dr. Bryce, how is Cedric?"

The wounded were constantly being sent to the ward. Dr. Bryce wasn't just treating Cedric. He was just about to light a cigarette and take a break when he saw Qiao Wang coming over. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's okay, he won't die."

It is already ten o'clock in the evening, which is considered rest time. However, a male insect is not resting, but is waiting here for a female insect.

That's strange.

Qiao Wang didn't get angry after hearing what Dr. Bryce said. He asked, "Can I go in and see him?"

Dr. Bryce nodded: "Okay."

Qiao Wang thanked him and walked in.

Bryce at the back looked a little strange. This male insect seemed to care about Cedric, so why didn't he want to mark him?

Could it be that... it’s not possible?

Cedric's injury this time was partly due to the disorder of his mental power.

Although Qiao Wang gave Cedric pheromones every night and comforted him from time to time, the mental agitation of female insects approaching estrus would be more severe and frequent than that of ordinary female insects.

Not to mention a female insect like Cedric whose mental strength is on the verge of collapse.

So, during this rescue, Cedric encountered an extremely ferocious monster. During the battle, his mental power became disordered, and the monster seized the opportunity and severely injured him.

This rarely happens with marked females.

When Qiao Wang walked into the ward, he saw Cedric lying weakly in the treatment cabin. He lay there quietly with his eyes closed, and he no longer had his usual vitality.

It was obvious that not long ago, Qiao Wang was still waiting for him to come back.

Qiao Wang himself had never imagined that his 24th birthday would be like this. His partner came back covered in blood, and the cake he had spent a day making was left alone in the refrigerator.

Qiqi: Qiao Qiao, don't be sad. Cedric is not as easy to kill as you.

【Qiao Wang: ……】

The Zerg's medical technology has always been strong, and the female soldiers have extremely abnormal recovery abilities. Cedric is now out of danger.

When Qiao Wang saw this, he felt relieved and planned to go find Chong to get a blanket and lie down next to Cedric.

It wasn't that he was being peculiar or eye-catching, but this was an important day for them both, and he wanted to be with Cedric.

Qiao Wang was afraid of dying again at the age of twenty-three, and he was also afraid of losing Cedric.

Only here, feeling the familiar atmosphere, can he feel safe.

After the quilts and everything were put away, the quiet female insect in the treatment cabin suddenly moved. Her brows were furrowed and her expression was very painful.

Slowly, he began to make subtle movements. First, he moved his hands a few times, and then his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was enduring something.

Qiao Wang quickly pressed the pager.

"doctor?!"

Bryce had just finished a cigarette and was about to take a nutritional supplement when he heard the ward's call bell. He cursed under his breath and could only put down the small nutritional supplement and rush to the ward.

As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Cedric with a painful expression in the treatment cabin.

Qiao Wang hurriedly asked, "Doctor Bryce, what happened to him?"

Doctor Bryce took a look and looked at Qiao Wang with a strange expression: "Cedric is in heat. I see you are very concerned about him. In this case, I will speak frankly."

Qiao Wang frowned, wondering if the female insect was in any danger.

Dr. Bryce: "Cedric's estrus has come early, and he desperately needs the comfort of a male. You've been married for so long, and you haven't marked him yet. Is there something you're hiding? If so, why not let him go early and let him find a male who can comfort him? It would be a final gesture of friendship for him."

The more Qiao Wang listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his expression gradually became strange.

[Qiqi: Is he saying you are incapable?]

[Qiao Wang: ...At this time, you just need to remain silent.]

Qiqi: Okay.

Logically speaking, no female insect would dare to say such words to a male insect. If the male insect insists on making a fuss, he can send the female insect to the Male Protection Association for damaging the male insect's reputation.

But Bryce was used to being in the legion and had an extremely bad temper. Seeing that Cedric had been married for so long and had not been marked, he couldn't help but feel unfair for his friend.

A married but unmarked female is doomed to be gossiped about.

No matter how envious and screaming those Zergs who support Qiao Wang and Cedric on Starnet are, as long as the news that Cedric has not been marked spreads, he will definitely be ridiculed.

Because only unfavored female insects cannot get the mark of male insects, and the Zerg are a race that attaches great importance to the preferences of male insects.

Qiao Wang wanted to explain, but now was obviously not the time to do so. He suppressed his embarrassment and asked, "What should we do now? Will Cedric be okay?"

Dr. Bryce glanced at him and thought, what else can we do? Mark it, of course.

Cedric's current condition was not optimistic. Apart from the external injuries, the problem lay with his mental strength. If he could be marked, his mental strength would be soothed, and his body would naturally recover quickly.

Dr. Bryce: "If you can, please mark Cedric as soon as possible."

Qiao Wangben's worried face froze for a moment.
