A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

"But many people have told me that the Insect Emperor is my father after all, and that my attitude is wrong, and that I should forgive him." Lan looked at him with a sense of panic.

Gao Tian pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Baby, it's like this. When we talk about right and wrong, we generally don't consider status, but only the matter itself. A scumbag can't be treated differently just because he's a husband or father and he hurt his spouse or son. We can't say he did nothing wrong and can be forgiven."

"On the contrary, I think the Insect King should be punished even more severely. Not only did he fail to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father, but he was worse than a stranger to you. At least a stranger wouldn't harm you."

As Gao Tian was talking, he remembered the blue childhood photo album on the table.

The Queen Insect was a great beauty, gently embracing Blue.

When Lan was a baby, the tiny insect had white wings and big blue eyes, looking like a little angel. It was hard to understand how a father could bear to ignore and hate him.

"The Insect King has caused real and irreparable harm to the Insect Queen, my mother-in-law, and you. I maintain that even if he seems to regret it now, he cannot be forgiven."

"Men often say they've had a sudden change of heart after experiencing a lot, but let me tell you, that's bullshit. They know exactly who they like and how they like to act. He hasn't suddenly changed his mind; he's just had his fill of fun, or he's down on his luck and needs you guys, so he remembers how good you were to him. Don't pity him, and don't forgive those who have hurt you."

"He'll revert to his old ways once you forgive him, because that's just how males are. It's not just male insects, it's the same for us humans. Even among us humans who pride ourselves on having moral standards, husbands and fathers are a group with a very high rate of producing scumbags."

At this point, Gao Tian kissed Lan's cheek. "I've understood this principle from the beginning, and I would never do such a thing. If I ever do something wrong, don't forgive me. Just slap me across the face, or you can just kill me."

"It's okay, I will never betray you or hurt you, I said it. I will never become a scumbag like the Insect King. If I do, it means that someone else has replaced my body, and you can just kill me. I'm willing to die. If you're willing, I'll write you a guarantee, sign it, and put my fingerprint on it. If you kill me, I'll take full responsibility, okay?"

Blue Dot nodded.

Gao Tian actually found paper and pen, and wrote it down for him right there on the coffee table:

[Guarantee Letter:]

Party A: Gao Tian. Party B: Kyle Lorius Skelway.

This party grants Party B the right to terminate Party A's life. If Party A engages in any misconduct beyond the bounds of law and morality after marriage, causing damage to Party B's property, life, personal safety, or mental well-being, Party B may immediately terminate Party A's life, and Party A shall bear full responsibility.

All interpretations shall be subject to Party B's interpretation, and Party A promises not to raise any objection to this guarantee.

Signature: Gao Tian.

......

Lan was watching him write, and as she watched, tears suddenly streamed down her face, falling onto the table.

Gao Tian put down his pen and wiped away his tears: "Don't cry, sweetie. It breaks my heart when you cry."

......

Lan didn't know why he was crying. It was really embarrassing. In the Zerg Empire, only little bugs would cry like that.

But all he could think of was his female father.

His female father didn't know that true love does exist in this world.

The person who loves you will not hurt you. There is no such thing as hurting you because they love you, because you are naughty, or because you did something wrong.

The entire Zerg society is wrong.

The punishment that the male insects inflicts on the female insects is an act of violence.

Loving an insect won't bring you happiness from harming it.

The Insect King doesn't love the Insect Queen at all, which is why he has a harem of wives and concubines, and why he whips and hurts her. It's not because the Insect Queen is bad, nor because she's not gentle and considerate enough, but simply because the Insect King is a rotten insect.

His female father simply loved the wrong person, which led to his untimely death in the prime of his life, wounded and sent to the battlefield.

It wasn't their fault; they just ran into a scumbag.

Lan choked back tears as she said, "Then I will love you very much too."

"Mmm." Gao Tian wiped away his tears. "Then I'm very happy."

Lan sobbed again, "But I... I can't."

In the past, he had received almost no love.

It's possible that this happened when he was a child, when the Queen was still alive, but the Queen has been gone for far too long.

"You will," Gao Tian tapped his forehead and smiled. "You are loving me right now. You won't hurt me, and you will do everything you can to meet my every need."

"So, it seems like I just did something normal. Is that what love is?"

"Hmm," Gao Tian replied, "You're already better than most people at doing normal things. You didn't hurt me, you protected me, you saved my life. Crown Prince Yanxiong was protecting me from the very first day we met, and he stayed with me on a deserted planet for a month. Even after we broke up, he was still willing to give me a large planet. The Crown Prince is so kind, I'm so honored."

Lan sobbed, "But that's because you're good-looking."

Gao Tian couldn't hold back and was amused again; he was a sucker for good looks.

"So what? I'm handsome because I'm good-looking, which is an advantage I have when choosing a partner. If you're so capable, find someone even more handsome than me."

Lan paused, and after a long while, she hesitantly looked up, tears still clinging to her eyelashes: "Really?"

"No!" Gao Tian pressed his head down. "No, it's just me. I'm the most handsome. Don't look up. Put your head back down."

Lan was forced to lower her head by him, and mumbled, "I think so too."

Gao Tian rubbed his face again. "It's hard for me to explain to you clearly. Dating isn't a transaction. There's no such thing as me giving you this much and you giving me that much. I give you my all, and you give me your all. We may not be equal in terms of the total amount, but on a spiritual level, we both give our all, so we are equal."

Gao Tian pressed his cheek against his: "I'm already in your love. You just don't understand, not that you can't love."

Blue tears streamed down his beautiful eyes again, and he began to sob again.

Why are you crying again? Gao Tian smiled, wiped away his tears, and pressed his cheek against his. "The Crown Prince is so good, so good. I feel so happy that you love me, baby."

Lan: "You're better than me."

Gao Tian pleaded, "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen! Our Xiao Lan is the cutest baby!"

Lan: "I love you."

"Hmm." Gao Tian couldn't help but laugh again. "The Crown Prince doesn't need to be told; the Crown Princess already knows. Otherwise, how could a little refugee become the Crown Princess through her own hard work?"

He gave Lan a quick kiss on the cheek: "I know, okay?"

Gao Tian closed his eyes and hugged Lan Yaohuang, waving away the tears in his eyes: "Oh, baby, baby, baby, lovely baby."

Lan leaned closer, nuzzling his cheek like a kitten: "Gao Tian."

"Um?"

Lan asked, "I really have so many things, but you only asked for one planet. That's too little. You want everything that other male insects have. Besides that planet, is there anything else you want?"

"Hmm..." Gao Tian looked up, thought for a moment, and realized that he was a person with very low material desires, so he really couldn't think of anything he wanted for the time being.

He thought for a moment, then had an idea: "Yes, I do."

"What is it?"

Gao Tian looked into his eyes, his expression calm, and slowly said, word by word, "I want to marry you."

I don't want anything else. All I want now is to marry you.

"Um--"

He really is an exceptionally good person. Lan almost cried again: "We will definitely get married, I will definitely marry you. I will never marry anyone else but you."

Gao Tian smiled, stroked his beautiful long silver hair, and then pressed his cheek against his: "That's my honor."

The moon hung high in the sky and came to his side again.
