The three of them had already settled down in the living room and were about to start their conversation when Yan Kai belatedly remembered that there was an insect outside the door.

He squeezed the back of the female insect's hand and reminded her, "Harwick is still outside."

Yalta kept his head down, as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing his behavior, Alya on the other side couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

This female insect is jealous of everyone!

This male insect really doesn't act like a male insect at all; it lets itself be manipulated!

Yan Kai leaned closer to Yalta, meeting his gaze with a gentle smile: "Shall I go and call him in?"

It is a question.

He was seeking the female insect's opinion.

Yalta's lips curved almost imperceptibly, clearly pleased, and he mumbled a vague "hmm," which was considered a sign of relenting.

Yan Kai gently scratched the female insect's palm twice before getting up to open the door.

The sun was blazing outside, but the honest Harwick remained motionless in the same position.

Yan Kai knocked on the door with his finger and called out, "Harwick, come in."

Harwick quietly raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Has the chief granted permission?"

Yan Kai asked with a mocking expression, "So scared?"

Harwick exclaimed in terror, "By the Insect God! I just touched your shoulder, and the leader looked at me like he wanted to devour me alive!"

He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now...

When Yalta was mentioned, Yan Kai softened, and even his tone carried an unconscious tenderness: "It's not that exaggerated."

Although Harwick was a single man, he could smell the strong, cloying scent of romance wafting through the air without even having to breathe heavily!

He glanced towards the villa entrance and waved frantically at Yan Kai.

"doing what?"

"come over!"

Yan Kai was in a good mood and slowly walked a few steps closer: "Speak."

Harwick covered his mouth with one hand, looking furtive: "Tell me honestly, did you and the Chief...?"

Yan Kai admitted directly: "It's exactly what you think."

Harwick's eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh: "Then why did you go through all that trouble to run away in the first place?"

He was seriously threatened!

Yan Kai pouted: "I didn't think I liked it before."

At that time, he was filled with the oppressive feeling of being controlled, and had no mood to analyze the details.

Moreover, matters of the heart cannot be explained in a few words; only after detaching oneself do one realize how much one is reluctant to let go.

Harwick hit the nail on the head: "Did you not realize you liked him before, or did you simply not want to admit it?"

Yan Kai awkwardly scratched his chin: "You're still young, you don't understand. You'll understand when you grow up."

Harwick sneered: "I've been an adult for a long time."

"Sooner or later, I'll let you taste the bitterness of love."

"There's no need for that, thank you."

Are you going to keep talking to me like this?

Harwick bent over, one hand resting on his knee, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and pitifully looked up: "I'm numb..."

"Deserved it."

"Have some compassion..."

Yan Kai walked over, just about to help him up, when Harwick suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, his expression one of utter terror.

Yan Kai: ...? ? ?

"What are you doing again?"

When Harwick saw Yan Kai approaching, he was on high alert. He endured the soreness and numbness in his body, rolled to the side, and managed to create a two-meter distance between himself and Yan Kai. Then, he got up from the ground with a contorted posture.

"Lord Chief."

Yalta leaned against the door with his arms crossed, his face expressionless, yet the atmosphere around him was frighteningly low.

He glanced at the two insects opposite him and said indifferently, "It's only a few steps from the door to the living room. Why can't you come in and say it to us all at once? Why do you have to whisper it outside?"

Yan Kai withdrew his hand, walked back to the female insect's side, and hooked his arm around her waist: "What's going on? Why does it smell so sour?"

Yalta didn't bother to hide anything, looking at him sharply: "I don't believe in pure friendship between males and females."

The two insects in Longkoda were almost too close.

Even after Yan Kai left, and despite being threatened with the lives of his entire clan, Harwick kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single word.

He had already given Yan Kai enough face by not touching the female insect then, and now he absolutely would not allow them to have any more contact.

Yan Kai did not intend to argue with Yalta. Some things were differences in mindset, and his understanding might not be applicable to this planet.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but you have to believe me about your loyalty. Put your heart at ease. I can't even handle one person like you, and I have no intention of finding a second one in this lifetime."

Yalta grabbed the male insect by the collar, her expression resolute: "Even if you wanted to, it would never be possible in this lifetime."

He would rather die than allow it.

"It's up to you. It's hot outside, so come inside."

Yalta glanced at Harvick and made a gesture.

Harwick dared not delay any longer, limped after him, and then carefully closed the door.

In the living room, Arya had just finished her phone call. Seeing them come in, she was excited and eager to share: "I have some good news for you!"

Yalta looked at him suspiciously: "What?"

"A new version of the inhibitor has been successfully developed; the female insects are saved!"
