His Excellency, the Zerg Diplomat

Blurb: [An entirely fictional setting, unrelated to reality. Please do not draw parallels with real life.]

Steven, the lucky god of the Zerg, heard the heartfelt, despairing cries of his people.

Dark rule could not suppress the Zerg's freedom!

Cruel war could not bomb away the Zerg's conviction that they would win!

The bleak prospects for reproduction dealt a devastating blow to his Zerg subjects. The smoke of war would eventually clear, and the Zerg would march toward extinction...

The god had no choice. This was his last time saving his followers.

On a Zerg battlefield, an egg with no female or male parent was born: Ang Steven.

Claire was a Lion marshal sent to support the Zerg battlefield. When the smoke cleared, his mental sea had completely collapsed. He lay in a pool of blood in a shell crater, approaching his final moments.

A Zerg egg rolled into his arms. He absorbed the faint mental energy inside it. It was better than nothing, but he was still about to vanish.

Though they had never met, he had already received its kindness.

The faint mental energy barely eased the pain. Claire struggled to toss the egg away, and it landed in the hands of a female Zerg.

Claire silently said goodbye to this world.

Eighteen years later, Ang and Claire met at Cotton Military Academy.

Twenty years later, Ang's teacher addressed the two of them with utmost deference: "Your Excellency, the Zerg diplomat, and Madam."

Everyday scenes:

Ang was a young man overflowing with sunshine. Warm, cheerful, and optimistic, he had goals and a clear direction. After relying on his own physical strength, he finally got into the school of his dreams. He decided to make a name for himself on campus by working part-time as a food delivery courier! On his very first day, he met his rival: his roommate Wenge!

Ang thought his roommate must have been raised on ice cream. He was especially aloof, especially handsome, and especially sharp-tongued. Claire delivered more orders and faster than Ang. Gu Han got stuck delivering the bulky orders. Oh well, they were roommates, after all.

Claire's roommate wore an icy expression around everyone and barely gave anyone the time of day.

But gradually, Ang discovered that his roommate seemed like a cool, aloof cat.

Claire was always climbing trees, and the taller the better. He would sit high up on a branch, looking down at all the teachers and students!

Ang waved. "Roomie, that's dangerous! Come down!"

Claire paid him no mind and stayed perfectly still.

Ang had great stamina, so he climbed up and carried him down.

Claire never drank bottled water. He liked sneaking sips from Ang's cup, especially when it had just been filled at the water dispenser. He would drink with his eyes half closed.

Ang folded his arms and looked serious. "Roomie, save yourself the trouble. Look, I bought you a cup!"

Ang set the cup in front of Claire's desk and had only just turned around when an invisible force suddenly knocked it over!

Claire liked feather products, but he was terrible at tennis. When Ang hit the ball over to him, Claire would catch it and refuse to let go.

One day, Ang returned to the dorm and noticed something new on Claire's bed. Claire lay there coolly, looking at it.

Ang was stunned. "Hey, Roomie, why on earth have you hung a feather duster at the end of your bed?"

Claire didn't say a word to Ang all day.

Ang got it. Everyone had a weird hobby or two. He liked tickling cats under their arms, after all!

Claire coldly uttered his first words: "Pervert!"

Ang reflected deeply on his mistake, went online, and bought an extremely expensive feather duster. He presented it to Claire. "Wenge! I bought you a new duster!"

Claire coolly turned away. "Ang, are you a dog? Stop wagging your tail at me."

Claire picked up the feather duster with a look of disdain and turned back around. Holy crap, it's the deluxe flagship edition of a cat teaser!

Claire kept a cold expression and didn't respond, silently cursing him in his heart: "Stupid dog."
