After the family of insects finished their meal happily, they helped Chu Yang turn over the soil in the backyard to make fertilizer and plant this year's seeds.

During Chu Yang's absence, many of the strawberries they planted ripened, and Shen Nanxi and the others couldn't pick them all. Many rotted in the soil, but they still managed to pick quite a few after some picking.

"We have too many strawberries, let's make them all into strawberry jam."

It's a shame to see those rotten strawberries. Since we can't finish them, let's find a way to use them up.

"Then I'll go and get the ones we picked earlier from the warehouse."

After finishing his sentence, Chu Xinhang walked towards the warehouse. He couldn't believe it; he used to rarely see this kind of fruit, but now there was so much of it that he couldn't finish it all. It seemed that his master was truly amazing.

The strawberry harvest at home was indeed bountiful. Chu Yang picked out some of the best-looking and largest ones and set them aside. These could be taken out to be given to insects. The rest could be made into strawberry jam and freeze-dried strawberries to make strawberry-flavored snowflake crisps.

While Xu Le was making strawberry jam in the kitchen, he was also helping to make dried strawberries. Outside, Shen Nanxi and Chu Xinhang were playing games with Youyou. The family atmosphere was warm and happy.

"Xu Le, I told you before that I would wait for you and find you something to eat."

"Ah."

Xu Le looked up at Chu Yang's back, eagerly anticipating what he was going to say next.

"You don't need to look for food anymore. I can cook, and I will always cook for you from now on. You won't have to go hungry anymore."

Chu Yang's eyes were bright, and a gentle smile played on his lips as he turned his head to meet his gaze.

Having spent so much time with him, how could I not know his feelings? It's just that I was always indecisive about relationships back then. This time, the two of us went through life and death together, and I made up my mind to cherish the people around me.

Like a confession, Xu Le's light green eyes welled up with tears, and his hands, which were working, stopped. He had finally found what his heart longed for.

"I can cook too, and I can make some for the male master to try in the future."

"Why are you crying? It's a happy occasion for everyone, of course you should be smiling."

She reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Xu Le's face, but then suddenly remembered something, and the smile on her face vanished.

"You'll have to sleep alone for a while; the worm eggs in Nanxi's belly need my comfort."

Huh? Xu Le's tears stopped instantly, and she looked speechless. She couldn't understand what the male lead was thinking. Of course he knew about such an important matter and supported it.

Chu Yang worked hard until late at night. Holding Shen Nanxi, who was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open, he felt very at ease. The life of having a wife, children, and a warm bed was now a reality, and he had no regrets in life.

Looking down at the baby in her arms, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She lowered her head and kissed Shen Nanxi's forehead, then gently placed her hand on his belly. She was both excited and expectant, determined to witness the baby's birth from start to finish.

In March, as the weather gradually got warmer, Li Hui's appetite hadn't been very good lately. Wang Xingyu was anxious and stressed. He was almost due to give birth, but his belly was only slightly protruding, and he didn't look like he was about to give birth at all.

"Sigh~"

Li Hui, who was eating, suddenly frowned, clutched his stomach, and gasped.

"My lord, quick, take me to the hospital! My stomach hurts, I think I'm about to give birth."

"Ah, quick, quick, I'll take you to the hospital, butler, butler, hurry, Li Hui is about to give birth."

Wang Xingyu was flustered. He had heard before that childbirth meant one foot was in the grave, and seeing Li Hui sweating profusely from the pain, he was terrified.

"Hey, Father, come to the hospital quickly, Li Hui is about to give birth."

While Li Panxiong was working, he received a call from Wang Xingyu. Wang Xingyu sounded very anxious and his voice trembled slightly.

"I'll be right away."

At the hospital entrance, Wang Xingyu paced anxiously back and forth, but Li Panxiong's arrival was like a reassurance.

"Father, I'm so scared, I'm afraid Li Hui will be alright."

"It's alright, the eggs will hatch quickly, there won't be any danger."

Seeing Wang Xingyu's worried expression, Li Panxiong felt relieved. Few male insects would wait at the entrance of the birthing room, and even if they did, they would only wait to see if the offspring was male or female.

Inside the delivery room, Shen Nanxi, wearing a mask, made an incision in Li Hui's abdomen and removed the worm eggs from his reproductive cavity.

"President Li, congratulations, you've produced the insect egg. It's a female."

If the eggshell has patterns when the insect eggs hatch, it is a female; if the eggshell is pure white, it is a male. Li Hui's insect eggs have very beautiful blue wave patterns.

Carefully placing the insect egg in Li Hui's arm, he then applied some healing medicine to the wound. As a B-grade female insect, the wound healed quickly under the influence of the medicine.

From entering the delivery room to coming out, it took less than ten minutes. Li Hui walked out carrying the insect eggs, and Shen Nanxi followed him out.

"Oh, you've given birth?"

Wang Xingyu looked at the energetic Li Hui with surprise. Did he look like an egg-laying worm? He was acting like nothing had happened.

"My lord, these are our insect eggs."

Li Hui happily showed the insect eggs in his arms to Wang Xingyu.

When Li Panxiong saw the pattern on the eggshell, his heart, which had been at ease, started to pound again. It was a female egg. He glanced at Wang Xingyu intentionally or unintentionally, always afraid that Wang Xingyu would do something crazy after he found out that it was a female.

"What a beautiful egg! Wait, isn't it supposed to be laying eggs? Why did it lay an egg?"

"Haha, after the insect eggs are laid, they need to be kept for a while before they hatch on their own. During this time, the insect eggs need to be placed in an incubator."

Shen Nanxi took off her mask and continued speaking.

“I need to hold the egg every day so that the baby can feel the male father’s pheromones, which will help it hatch sooner.”

"Okay, okay, Dr. Shen, thank you. When my baby hatches, everyone can come to my house for dinner."

Wang Xingyu took the insect egg from Li Hui's arms. The blue, wavy-patterned egg was about the size of a rugby ball and not very heavy. He held it up to his eyes, as if trying to see what was inside through the light.

"Hey, be careful, don't lift it up too high, it's easy to slip."

Li Hui quickly picked up the insect eggs, afraid that Wang Xingyu might slip them.

"Now that it's been born, shouldn't we give this little one a name?"

Standing next to him, Li Panxiong reminded him, deliberately emphasizing the pronunciation of the word "female offspring," while also guarding against him making the move of smashing the egg.

"Oh, what should it be called?"

Bending down, I affectionately approached the insect egg and gently poked the shell with my finger.

"I've got it! Let's name him Wang Baobao, so he can eat his fill every day and never go hungry."

Thinking of the experiences Chu Yang had mentioned before, Wang Xingyu had a flash of inspiration and thought of this: "A full stomach, how wonderful, then I won't go hungry."

Li Hui could only smile and not object to the name, "Bao Bao," which seemed alright.

After returning home, Wang Xingyu transformed into a full-time stay-at-home dad, spending every day by the incubator, cuddling the eggs every now and then, and drawing portraits of his baby before hatching.

"My lord, isn't there a recording device? Why are you drawing it yourself?"

"Oh dear, you don't understand. I drew this myself as a gift for my Bao Bao. I will draw a portrait of him every year on his birthday. So, is this a portrait? This is my love for Bao Bao."

Standing behind, Li Hui watched with teary eyes as Wang Xingyu drew Bao Bao on the drawing board. At that moment, he felt that he was the happiest insect in the entire insect race.
