I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Chu Yang was taken aback by Shen Nanxi's question and was momentarily speechless, his mind racing to come up with an explanation.

I'm older than you...

“But you are my lord, not my brother.”

Chu Yang swallowed the rest of his words back down. How could he explain it? His mind raced.

"Brother is someone who can protect you and take care of you... ah no, I mean worm, um, that's what it means."

Shen Nanxi's brown eyes suddenly narrowed, her face flushed, and her fair cheeks turned red instantly.

She was a little shy and quickly covered her red and hot face. She didn't expect to be confessed to by the male lead. She was so shy and happy.

"Brother...brother, are you telling the truth?"

Peeking through her fingers at the male insect sitting opposite her, she saw that he didn't look like he was teasing her, and his eyes were very firm.

Hearing Shen Nanxi call him "brother," Chu Yang smiled and nodded.

"Your Excellency, your meal is here."

The owner, accompanied by a waiter, brought over the prepared food and said excitedly.

"This is the first time I've heard a male insect speak so sincerely. You are truly a gentle insect. Today's meal is on the house. Thank you for dining at my restaurant."

The shop owner in the corner was deeply moved after listening to the whole story. "How come I can't find such a good male insect?" he asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Your Excellency, may I serve as your female attendant? If not, a female slave will suffice."

Shen Nanxi immediately lowered her hands, looked at the boss with a warning look, and felt very nervous.

"Thank you for the free meal, boss, but I already have one and don't need it for now."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Nanxi, who was looking smug across from him. He was joking, of course. He didn't want any of them, so how could he possibly take another one? If his true identity were discovered, he would be captured and used for research in no time.

The owner, though disappointed, wasn't really disappointed. He posted his experience online, which quickly garnered a lot of likes and comments from the customers, and more and more customers started coming to his restaurant.

"Eat quickly, and we'll go back together after we finish."

"Brother, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry. The nutritional supplement at noon was plenty. This is for you."

Shen Nanxi was deeply moved once again, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

The meal cost them nothing, and the owner personally escorted them to the door when they left.

On the way back, Shen Nanxi held onto Chu Yang's clothes the whole time, walking beside him in a good mood.

As I passed by the park, I heard a sound that made my heart race from a dimly lit grove of trees. Because of my height of 1.9 meters, I could vaguely see the whole scene inside the grove.

Chu Yang reached around from behind to Shen Nanxi, covered his eyes with one hand, and pulled him by the other arm, striding forward.

I never expected the Zerg to be so open-minded, doing things like this without even trying to hide it from people... or are they Zerg?

Shen Nanxi was pulled along for quite a distance without understanding why, and a sweet citrus scent came to her nose, the scent of her brother's pheromones.

His lips curled into an uncontrollable smile, and his eyes beneath his palm were filled with possessiveness.

Before I could smell enough, the hand covering my eyes was removed.

"Brother, what happened just now?"

Meeting Shen Nanxi's innocent and curious gaze, Chu Yang awkwardly looked away.

"It's okay, we're almost home."

After returning home, the two insects went to their respective rooms. Chu Yang took a long, hot shower, washing away all his fatigue.

After drying her hair and putting on a bathrobe, she came out, keeping her head down and not looking around. It wasn't until she reached the bedside that she saw Shen Nanxi kneeling on the floor, dressed in only light clothing.

Startled, Chu Yang quickly turned around, his back to him, and hurriedly took off his bathrobe, then closed his eyes and wrapped it around Chu Yang's body.

"What are you doing?"

"Brother, don't you want me to serve you while you sleep?"

Listen to these outrageous words! Chu Yang wrapped him up before daring to open his eyes, frowned, helped him up, and then pushed him out of the room.

"I don't want to, I don't want to play. Go to sleep. Stop thinking about all this nonsense. You're still young, you don't understand. Go to sleep, goodnight."

After saying that, he immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside. He leaned against the door and patted his chest with his hand.

Standing outside the door, Shen Nanxi put away her aggrieved expression, put on Chu Yang's bathrobe, and sniffed it. It was her brother's scent.

Startled, Chu Yang quickly went to bed and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket. He lay there for a while but couldn't fall asleep, not because of the change in environment, but because he was thinking about how high the cost of living was for the Zerg.

Upon opening his personal terminal and seeing the decrease in his assets, Chu Yang quickly scrolled to job websites to see if there were any high-paying jobs available.

There are many job openings, such as waiters, cleaners, and security guards. Scroll down further, and you'll find a construction site that's hiring. The salary is paid daily, at 1.5 Star Coins per day.

Chu Yang was so surprised that he sat up abruptly. The daily wage was higher than the benefits of his male insect, and the key point was that it should not be too far from home.

Okay, I've decided to go to the construction site. Only after confirming my work direction did Chu Yang finally fall asleep, satisfied.

In the next room, Shen Nanxi watched as Chu Yang's name faded on her personal terminal before pulling the blanket over herself and going to sleep.

Just as dawn was breaking, Chu Yang finished washing up, changed into loose clothes, and tiptoed out the door.

This body is too weak; it needs some exercise. Luckily, there's a running track in the park near my house, so I can run a few laps there.

Shen Nanxi was woken up by the alarm clock on her personal computer. Her hair was messy and she sat up sleepily. She looked around and saw that the space was bright and spacious, no longer the dark, damp and smelly basement.

After washing up, I came out of my room. My brother's door was still closed. I glanced at the personal terminal and saw that his name had lit up before I dared to knock on the door.

There was no response. I checked the personal terminal and it was indeed awake. I knocked on the door again, but still no one answered. So I mustered up my courage and tried to push the door open a crack.

The blankets on the bed were neatly made, but my brother was nowhere to be seen. A bad feeling rose in my heart, and I hurriedly ran downstairs.

Chu Yang ran more than a dozen laps and walked into the living room, where he ran right into Shen Nanxi.

"Are you going to be late?"

Shen Nanxi, who had stopped abruptly, stared blankly at Chu Yang, who was blushing and panting heavily. There was no other insect smell on him, and her tense heart finally relaxed.

"Brother, where have you been? Why do you smell so sweaty?"

Feeling a little guilty, she didn't dare look Chu Yang in the eye, scratched her head, and asked him in a low voice.

"I went for a run to get some exercise; I'm too weak right now."

Shen Nanxi looked up at Chu Yang who walked in with some surprise. Indeed, she had never seen such a thin male insect before. Most male insects were fat, and only the wealthy and noble male insects that appeared on TV were slightly thin.

"Brother, I'm going to work now. If you're bored at home by yourself, you can tell me, and I'll ask the director for a few more days off to keep you company."

As they approached the top of the stairs, Chu Yang turned his head and waved to Shen Nanxi below.

"It's okay, it's okay. You go to work. I won't be bored."

"Okay, bro, I'm going to work."

Shen Nanxi smiled and waved to Chu Yang, "Brother is so nice." But then, remembering being rejected last night, the smile on her face instantly changed.

He sighed, his brow furrowed slightly. He needed to work harder; he couldn't let other insects snatch such a good lord away.

After all, she was a sub-female with no assets, and her physical condition and fertility were far inferior to those of female insects. In any case, she could not lose her position as a female servant.
