Chapter 20 Meal Video

Chapter 20: The Dining Video

The three bugs tasted such delicious food for the first time that they wished Xierlan would instantly become the head chef. Staring at the empty plates, their previously modest appetites surged like a tsunami.

"This is too good!!!"

"What is happening here!"

Miao Qie watched them brazenly ask for more, an indescribable frustration bubbling within him. He refused to stoop to the level of those spineless male bugs.

Xierlan effortlessly saw the results and was very pleased. He actually wanted to try the cafeteria food here to see how the detention center’s meals were prepared.

But it was still early, and he felt the food on the table could be used as is. He didn’t mind these three hungry bugs eating and asking for more, so he quickly cooked three more dishes.

Xierlan was incredibly composed, almost without overthinking. After briefly familiarizing himself with the ingredients, he handled them as if he had cooked them countless times.

“Go wash the dishes,” Xierlan motioned with his chin. “Clean the table too.”

Liposi and Haibi remained seated, assuming it was the female bug’s duty to handle these tasks.

The cooking teacher thought so too and quickly stood up to clear the table, but Xierlan stopped him.

His expression was calm, and even without the smile that sent chills down the male bugs’ spines, he still made them nervous.

“I meant the two of you.”

Liposi and Haibi exchanged glances, visibly resistant and hesitant.

Xierlan didn’t rush them. While cooking the fourth dish, he said casually, “If you haven’t cleaned up by the time I finish cooking, I’ll have the teacher pack everything up and take it away.”

Hearing this, the two male bugs sprang up from their seats. Biting back their frustration, they diligently got to work clearing the table.

Liposi still felt it was unfair. He muttered, “What about that female bug? He’s not doing anything either. Why?”

Xierlan glanced at him, a faint smile on his face. “Can’t you call him ‘teacher’?”

Liposi instantly remembered how terrifying this male bug was. No matter how angry he felt, he swallowed his words and didn’t dare say another thing.

Xierlan didn’t press him on the title. After all, if these male bugs came to him, they had to obediently do as he said.

As for the rest, they could take their time.

Even at my age, I can’t help but be taken by a male bug. This sir is just too outstanding!

The cooking teacher was deeply touched but didn’t dare get any ideas. He just wanted to focus on being a teacher.

Meanwhile, Miao Qie was seething.

“A bunch of idiots!!”

He seethed internally but couldn’t deny that Xierlan’s cooking had made him ravenous.

No matter what, he would never obey this male bug for a few bites of food! Absolutely not!!!

Female bugs deserved to be scolded. Only when they’re scolded do they listen, and that’s what makes it fun!

Miao Qie tried desperately to make eye contact with the two male bugs, but these oblivious idiots didn’t notice at all. Before he knew it, they had finished cleaning the table.

Just go to hell!

Miao Qie turned around and left in anger. Just then, Xierlan finished cooking the fourth dish. He divided it up for the three bugs, then tilted his head toward them and said, “Finish eating and wash the plates. I’m going to eat now.”

The two male bugs were already too busy eating to respond. Xierlan ignored them and said to the cooking teacher, “You can leave first.”

The cooking teacher was surprised but quickly understood the male bug’s intention and left gratefully.

The other two bugs were enjoying their meal, completely unaware that they had no chance to cut corners.

After arranging everything, Xierlan closed the door and left, feeling relaxed. On his way to the cafeteria, he sent a message to Sexia.

Xierlan: My cooking has won over the teacher and students. Now I’m going to try the cafeteria food. How about you, Sexia? What are you eating for lunch?

Sexia saw the male bug’s message almost instantly and typed a reply.

Sexia: [Image]

Sexia: This is what I’m having.

Xierlan opened the image and saw a generous spread that looked very appetizing.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Xierlan: It seems you’re treating yourself well.

Xierlan: You’re doing great, baby!

Xierlan: I’m heading to the cafeteria now. I’ll video call you when I get there, and we can eat together.

On the other end, Sexia’s ears turned red with embarrassment. The robot assistant beside him, busily serving soup, tilted its head and stared blankly. “Master, your heartbeat is excessively fast. Do you need me to call an ambulance?”

Sexia patted the little robot assistant’s head. He had just brought it over from his old home today—the same little robot assistant he had chosen with Xierlan.

He propped his face with his hand, hiding the pink flush of affection and shyness, and said softly, “It’s fine. Thank you.”

“Okay, let me know if you need anything.”

The little assistant rolled away on its wheels to recharge.

Ten minutes later, Xierlan video-called. He had already entered the cafeteria.

Xierlan found the place more luxurious than he had imagined, resembling an upscale restaurant. There were over a dozen male bugs getting food—some staying to eat, others taking it back to their dorms.

Xierlan initially thought of taking his food away, but since the cafeteria was pretty empty and he wouldn’t be disturbing anyone, he took his meal and sat down.

When the video connected, the screen showed the upper body of the female bug. Those long, elegant hands were holding cutlery as he ate. His snow-white hair was tied back simply, revealing a small portion of his perfectly sculpted face with its exquisite curves.

Even though they had video-called twice before, Sexia was still flustered. He tried his best not to act too awkwardly, slowing down his eating pace.

What resulted was a perfect pure-love moment: a cold-faced beauty with a cool demeanor, ears tinged red, looking down to eat slowly to hide his embarrassment.

He was even wearing a soft, comfortable silk robe, with only a sliver of his neck and wrists exposed—pale, luminous, and standing out against the cold blue eyes of the other. In those eyes, one could faintly see the emotions he was trying hard to hide beneath his embarrassment.

Xierlan’s reaction was simple and direct.

He clutched his chest. “Baby, don’t charm your husband while eating. It’s hard not seeing you right now. I’m feeling so thrown off I might not recover.”

After saying this, he gave in and picked up his spoon, his own ears turning red against his will.

Aww, his wife is so captivating without even realizing it; every time, she utterly enthralls him. How can this little female bug be so adorable? He just can’t take it anymore.

Sexia also turned his head away, unable to bear it, not daring to look at Xierlan at all. His lips moved slightly, as if he had become completely mute.

"I didn't..."

He couldn’t even maintain eye contact with Xierlan on the video call for too long, always feeling it was too overwhelming.

Sexia couldn’t help but recall the moments when Xierlan would laugh and sweep him up into his arms. Xierlan was always so considerate and gentle, so during every intimate moment, he would often zone out, only to be gently cupped by the human’s hands, facing him eye to eye, laying bare all his dazed, unbecoming fascination right before Xierlan.

Completely exposed, without any reservation.

So every time they locked eyes, he would remember those moments that made his instincts and urges surge wildly.

Sexia lowered his gaze, his fingertips rubbing together for a moment, his cheeks flushing red as he tried to endure.

Xierlan, noticing his silence, glanced up stealthily. In an instant, he caught sight of Sexia’s expression.

Having already developed a telltale understanding with his husband, Xierlan, "..."

His face flushed crimson, "I'm sorry, I'm not by your side right now. If you're feeling needy, baby, you'll have to wait until your husband comes home..."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them blushed intensely, and for a long moment, neither said a word.
