EROS [Zerg]

The terminal on the claw's wrist buzzed. Brandt leaned out to look, and just as he touched the terminal, another claw reached out from behind his ear, snatched the terminal from Brandt's wrist, and threw it violently against the wall.

"Hey!"

"Focus," the female insect threatened fiercely, but quickly changed her expression, embracing the sub-female before her with blissful intoxication. Her voice inadvertently escaped, filling the dimly lit room with a lewd atmosphere.

Brandt kissed Lian Zhen's face. Lian Zhen was sick, so crazy that she dared to have an affair with someone other than the male ruler in Feng Qiya's mansion.

With that thought in mind, Brandt deepened his soothing kiss.

"Brandt... ooh... hum..." The sub-female lacked male pheromones, unable to soothe the female's tormented mind. But at this moment, the female in her arms calmed down and obediently lay on the sub-female's shoulder, humming softly.

Brandt, seeing Lian Zhen's satisfied expression, teased her mischievously, "Aren't you worried that your lord will suddenly appear and catch us in bed together?"

When Lian Zhen heard Brandt mention the male insects, her previously relaxed brows furrowed immediately: "He's going to those disgusting parties of male insects, and he won't be back for four or five days. Even if he does come back, I'll kill him if he dares to look at me. I definitely won't implicate you."

After saying that, Lian Zhen grabbed Brandt's shoulder and shook him, then said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Give it to me, give it to me again."

"Want more?"

Brandt pressed his paw against Lian Zhen's lower abdomen: "You've really caused quite a stir."

Lian Zhen didn't respond, but softened her stance, gently nuzzling Brandt's lips, coaxing and cajoling the submissive woman into fooling around with him again.

But Lian Zhen still felt it wasn't enough. He clung to Brandt like an octopus. This time, he finally received not the other's disdain and cold words, but intimate kisses and passionate union.

Lian Zhen wanted to make up for the missed opportunities for a harmonious relationship over the past few decades all at once.

"Take a break. I don't have any male insect pheromones to nourish female insects. If we continue, we'll really wear out." Brandt kissed Lian Zhen's cheek.

Lian Zhen grumbled in dissatisfaction, clamping her legs together to try and stop Brandt from leaving. The submissive woman wasn't going to tolerate him anymore: "If you don't listen, there won't be a next time."

Lian Zhen lay on the bed, blinked at Brandt, and finally, feeling aggrieved, loosened her legs. As she felt Brandt leave, she whimpered a few times in a wronged manner.

Brandt got up and walked towards the bathroom. Lian Zhen peeked in and followed him into the bathroom.

"What did you come in for?"

Brandt was caught off guard and was shoved against the cold wall by Lian Zhen.

Lian Zhen lowered her head and nuzzled Brandt's ear, pleading, "Let's wash together."

Brandt didn't speak. The entire insect was pressed against the female's broad thorax. Warm water droplets fell from the shower head above, landing on the bare skin and constantly separating and merging.

The female insect's thorax pressed against Brandt's body, their warm breaths conveying their mutual affection. Their breathing quickened, and steam filled the bathroom, enveloping their intertwined bodies.

When Lian Zhen's kiss landed, Brandt seemed to see a hallucination: the female insect in blue-gray overalls pushed away, and there was only a small sub-female in the classroom taking a nap.

The female insect's amber-colored eyes, gleaming in the sunlight, were fixed on the sub-female lying on the desk. Her usually arrogant gaze had become quiet and gentle, and her claws curled up a strand of the sub-female's long, silvery-white hair tinged with light pink.

After an unknown amount of time, the female insect was certain that the little female was truly asleep. He tucked the hair he had gathered with his claws behind the female's ear, bent down, and gently placed a kiss on her slightly pouting lips as she slept.

Brandt clutched his chest over his heart. Unlike the hallucination, he clearly remembered that he was not asleep. He had been pretending to be asleep just to wait for Lian Zhen's next prank. But when the soft kiss landed, all that remained in his mind was a cacophony more intense than the operation of a mechanical motor.

Brandt knew that at that moment, Lian Zhen used his love to make him realize that he also loved Lian Zhen.

That moment of mutual understanding made Brandt determined to reject the male from the Feng Qiya family who only wanted to take him as a female servant; he only wanted to be with Lian Zhen.

Just as Brandt was about to confess his feelings to Lian Zhen in person, he heard the news that Lian Zhen had married a male insect from the Feng Qiya family and become a female servant.

"Why did you marry a male insect?!"

When Brandt found Lian Zhen, Lian Zhen was packing his things. Apart from some precision parts and blueprints that were considered treasures by his peers, he didn't have much else. Male insects would never allow females to bring some "scrap metal" into their homes, so Lian Zhen couldn't take any of his "treasures" with him.

"Why?" Lian Zhen placed the key to the warehouse where she kept her collection on the table and said absentmindedly, "If the female insect doesn't marry the male insect, who will she marry?"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to marry Feng Qiya? Then I'll marry him. The Feng Qiya family is a powerful noble family. It's better to let me have it than to let other insects benefit from it. If I gain favor, I can find you any part you want."

"You must know what it means to be a female servant of a male insect. None of the female insects of Feng Qiya's male sons are allowed to go out to work. After their assets are drained by the male insects, they can only be manipulated by the male insects!"

Words of love stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered. Brandt desperately wanted Lian Zhen to stay because of his love, but he couldn't say a word. He began to wonder why Lian Zhen had played with him that afternoon.

"With your talent, you'll definitely be able to find a better male insect after we graduate. Marrying Feng Qiya now is burying your future!"

Lian Zhen's lips gradually straightened. He lowered his head, stared at Brandt with a gloomy expression, and said coldly with a mocking tone, "Then you should seize your bright future."

Brandt was frightened by Lian Zhen's cold expression and couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Brandt realized with absolute clarity that he was just a sub-female, an ordinary sub-female with no background, no wealth, no talent, and who had to rely on Lian Zhen to avoid school violence in this academy where most of the students were females.

……Why?!

……

"why?"

The sound of rushing water filled her ears; Brandt's voice was very soft, but Lian Zhen still heard it:

"what why?"

Brandt looked at Lian Zhen's bewildered face in the steam, and then thought of Lian Zhen's heartbreaking expression. Anger surged in his heart, and he grabbed the neck of the female insect, who was a head taller than him, with one claw:

Why did you kiss me?

Lian Zhen, confused, said, "I like you."

“I’m not talking about now, it was that noon, when you were sleeping…” Brandt gently kissed Lian Zhen’s lips, “Why?”

"because……"

Lian Zhen blinked, then bent down and embraced Brandt, pressing her body against his as if in a sacrifice:

"because I love you."
