Late one night, a post suddenly appeared on the Bugstar Forum.
[What should I do if... I find a male bug?]
The comments came pouring in.
"Which delusional female bug is the OP this time?"
"Find a male bug? If you don't turn him in, the Male Bug Protection Association will eat you alive."
"More material for my daydreams. I'm sure to have a sweet dream tonight. Thank you, thank you."
"Fishing post?! Reported."
"Reported +1"
The forum users really did report it, and the post was quickly taken down.
Fu Jiangwei had no choice but to put away the Star Network forum. He glanced at the little bug beside him, who would start shedding tears the moment he left for even a little while, and sighed helplessly.
"I'm scared. Are you going to abandon me?" Chu Wen clung to his hand, tears glistening in his beautiful eyes. He looked utterly pitiful as he cried.
Fu Jiangwei pulled the little bug into his arms. The usually stern military female bug now coaxed Chu Wen in a soft voice. "No. How could I ever abandon you?"
The Empire's coldest, most ruthless general had suddenly developed a selfish desire of his own: he wanted this little bug.
Later...
No one could have guessed that the bug Fu Jiangwei had hidden away was none other than His Excellency Chu Wen, the Empire's Star, who had disappeared after an assassination attempt a year ago.
...It was Chu Wen!
He was a legendary male bug researcher, once awarded the Empire's highest honor, the Star of the Empire, by the royal family. The entire bug race had been swept up in excitement over him, and he had countless admirers.
"Your Excellency... could you give me one more chance to pursue you?" Fu Jiangwei seized the precious opportunity to meet a male bug again. With his heart full of anxiety, he dropped to one knee and made one last plea.
The aloof male bug lowered his eyes to look at him. Images of himself crying and clinging to a bug, begging to be held, flashed through his mind. The corner of his mouth twitched, his expression impossible to read.
Just as the light in the female bug's eyes was about to go out, the male bug softly spoke a few words:
"I agree."
Fu Jiangwei froze and looked up in disbelief.
Chu Wen opened his arms, the tips of his ears bright red. Uncomfortably, he fixed his gaze on Fu Jiangwei's chin. "...Hold me."
