Chapter 41: Results

Miao Qie's nasty temperament, inherited from his dam, was particularly evident at this moment. Ximodo trembled, turning his head away.

As if the primary male intended to completely envelop him, the female, utterly unaccustomed to such intimacy, felt his pupils quiver. His mind was awash with the conditioning he'd received from the insects around him—

Females are inherently meant to please primary males through physical submission and pain; only then can they secure a lasting bond.

Ximodo was accustomed to pain, and this time, it hurt intensely. Miao Qie was terribly clumsy, yet upon closer reflection, the pain didn't seem quite as severe, but it was pervasive and relentless, utterly unlike the familiar agony Ximodo knew, yet equally tormenting.

Miao Qie finally discovered another facet of this rigid, cold female. His teeth tingled with an urge, and he couldn't resist nipping Ximodo's ear tip, his hands never ceasing their movements.

He had chosen his tools, after all—of course, he intended to use them!

But before using them, he absolutely had to ensure Ximodo's body was properly prepared!

All night, Ximodo was saturated with pheromones. Miao Qie, though petite and pretty, had a unique knack for stirring things up. In the latter half of the night, feeling hungry, he effortlessly found food on his own.

Ximodo watched his head in horror, wanting to struggle, but the fear of Miao Qie getting angry and tormenting him again held him back. He could only maintain that awkward position and posture, slowly.

All of this transpired in a way that defied description.

Miao Qie, having eaten his fill, came to kiss him. This was their first kiss. Miao Qie had never kissed any insect before, so his kisses were like a chick pecking at grains.

"Do you know why I'm always angry?"

Miao Qie sat atop him. The female was taller and stronger, and only when riding on him and looking down did Miao Qie feel a sense of dominance.

Moreover, Ximodo, viewed from this angle, was a sight to behold.

The female's face was flushed, his lips swollen and parted from kisses—truly beautiful.

Miao Qie was utterly satisfied.

This version of Ximodo was simply too adorable! Before, he was always stern and scowling—not fun at all.

Ximodo was already incapable of answering Miao Qie's question. The primary male, displeased with his slow response, pinched his cheeks and leaned in close, "Speak, Ximodo."

Miao Qie didn't use much force, merely pinching Ximodo's cheeks, leaving faint indentations. When viewed up close, Miao Qie's round cheeks appeared softly rounded due to the perspective.

It was this primary male, with such a pretty and cute face, who had been having his way with him.

Ximodo hoarsely asked, "Why…"

Miao Qie was utterly wicked, only satisfied when he heard Ximodo's muffled groan. "Stop apologizing all the time. I won't hit you anymore."

Miao Qie grew furious thinking about Ximodo's behavior these past few days, but after learning a lot from Xierlan and the others, he also began to reflect on himself. Halfway through his reflection, he angrily declared, "I need to improve too, I admit that. But you're not allowed to let me hit you to vent my anger anymore! When I'm angry, you should use your body to appease me! No—keep me company! Say some sweet things to me, understand? You have to say nice things to me, like 'Miao Qie, you're so adorable, I love Miao Qie!' I want to hear that kind of thing! Even if you can't say it, you have to say it!"

Miao Qie lay down on top of him. The female's muscles were well-developed yet soft when relaxed, making for a comfortable pillow. "From now on, if I give you a hard time, it basically means I miss you, you know? Now, whenever you have time, come take me home. I'll give you pheromones!"

Ximodo's ear tips flushed bright red. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, only managing a soft "okay."

Miao Qie was finally satisfied.

As expected, females only learn to obey after some discipline!

In the morning, Miao Qie woke up refreshed and energized. Ximodo didn't have time to see him off, so he got up early to make him a sandwich before heading to work.

Miao Qie woke up and didn't see the female, so he angrily thrashed about a couple of times before rolling out of bed.

Whatever, poor hardworking bug.

Miao Qie put on his clothes. It was still early, so he went to check on the little grub. The little female's fuzz was thickening and was being fed with a bottle by the caretaker.

Miao Qie went to hold Mino's little hand and said proudly, "I'll feed you myself once your dam's milk production stabilizes."

The little grub opened its gummy mouth, gnawing noisily on the bottle nipple.

Miao Qie drifted away casually. He picked up the sandwich from the table, raised his comms device, and took a photo of himself and the sandwich. The primary male's bright carrot-colored hair was full of life, his cheeks round and plump. Dressed in a simple white shirt and cream-colored overalls, his curved lips faintly revealed little sharp fangs beneath. No one could tell that such a sweet-looking primary male had a personality like a hellion.

Ximodo received the message with conflicting feelings but honestly saved the primary male's photo.

Ximodo: You are very cute.

Ximodo: Eat well.

Miao Qie, on the spaceship, took a bite of his sandwich while messaging Ximodo.

Miao Qie: Got it!

Miao Qie: Can you take me home tonight?! Give me a definite answer!

Ximodo: I'll try my best, okay?

As if aware of what the primary male wanted to hear, Ximodo struggled to find the right words and finally typed out: I also really want to bring the primary male home.

After sending it, Ximodo felt a flash of embarrassment and annoyance, propping his forehead in his hand, thinking he must have gone mad to say such a thing to the primary male.

On the other side, Miao Qie saw Ximodo's message, and his ear tips flushed pink.

He remembered what Xierlan taught him—to say whatever was on his mind directly. Miao Qie remembered it clearly, and the other two insects also strengthened their bonds with their primary consorts this way.

He generously replied quickly.

Miao Qie: Ximodo is so cute.

Miao Qie: I like it!

After that, the other side didn't reply for a long time.

Miao Qie was delighted with himself. He put away his comms device and returned to the classroom in high spirits.

Seeing everyone else playing with their comms devices, Miao Qie knew they were chatting with their primary consorts.

Now he too was in a relationship where he could have passionate conversations with his primary consort! Miao Qie was overjoyed—he no longer had to feel jealous of others!

In the following days, the few primary males became unusually docile. Almost nothing could tear their attention away from their comms devices.

Suo Lunluo would occasionally visit Haibi, sometimes bringing him home.

Haibi knew he was busy but still loved spamming him with messages. If Suo Lunluo didn't check his comms device for a day, he would find hundreds of unread messages. Just the phrase "I miss Suo Lunluo" could take up dozens of them—childish and endearingly needy.

Replying to these hundreds of messages would have been difficult for Suo Lunluo, but he would simply call directly or bring the primary male home for intimacy.

Liposi and Sang Li kept dating, going out at night and returning the next morning. The two insects visited seven scenic spots in a week. Sang Li's dam had been keeping an eye on them and was already planning the wedding for right after Liposi's rehabilitation period ended.

Miao Qie steadily kept buying toys to use on Ximodo. Perhaps because he was feeding him well, Ximodo's lactation provided rich nourishment, and both the adult and larva were full…

On the tenth day, Xierlan received his grade notification. He resisted looking at it, bracing himself after class, waiting to check it with Sexia.

Upon returning home, Xierlan took out his card, entered his account and password, and just as he was about to press the confirmation button, Sexia reached out and covered the screen, speaking with a hint of nervousness, "It's alright, my primary male. Whatever the result is, it's okay."

Xierlan hadn't felt this nervous even when checking his *gaokao* scores. Taking a deep breath as the page loaded, he said, "No! You've stayed up so many nights teaching me all these things, and my foundation isn't that bad. I should be able to pass the passing score."

Sexia is so strong! He truly knows everything!

Xierlan was in awe and learned with intense focus under Sexia's guidance. The efficiency was much higher than when he tried to figure things out on his own. In short, most of the credit for Xierlan achieving a score close to the passing score belonged to Sexia.

He had really put in a lot of effort and was worn out.

Sexia's slender fingers still covered the screen. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Then... I'll move my hand away..."

Xierlan closed his eyes. "How about this, babe? You check for me. If I passed, kiss me. If I didn't, just hold my hand. Is that okay?"

Sexia said okay. His expression was calm, but his heart was racing.

He found it hard to describe what he was feeling. Sexia gently lowered his gaze and moved his hand away, finally seeing the results on the screen.

Sexia's eyes widened, and the tips of his ears turned red. He turned his head slightly and leaned closer to Xierlan, giving him a soft kiss on the lips.

"Xierlan, you passed. 301 points."

He was too excited for words. His lips trembled slightly as he opened his arms and pulled the female bug beside him into a tight embrace.

As he held Sexia in his arms, Xierlan caught the familiar scent of bamboo, a fragrance that had almost seeped into his bones through their frequent intimacy.

Xierlan suddenly grew quiet, burrowing into Sexia's shoulder like a little puppy.

"The one I should thank the most for passing is you, Sexia."

Xierlan often encountered difficulties that made him not want to study, and it was during these times that he realized he was just an ordinary human who's just somewhat clever.

But he never gave up. Every day, he would secretly put on his glasses and study after Sexia fell asleep.

Sometimes Sexia would catch him, and he would slowly sit up, remove Xierlan's glasses, and without saying a word, gently kiss his cheek, telling him to get some sleep.

It had always been Sexia who put great effort into teaching him.

Sexia felt a bit helpless. He ruffled the human's hair, his palm feeling the soft, fluffy hair. If he kept his hand there long enough, he could feel it was warming up slightly.

Puppies feel just as warm to the touch, like little stoves, warming his hand and his heart.

"It's alright. Even if you didn't pass, I would keep teaching you," Sexia said with a slow smile. "My primary male is an excellent student."

Xierlan didn't look up. Instead, he slipped his hand under the hem of Sexia's shirt at his waist.

His cool fingertips touched the delicate skin, making Sexia's ears turn red instantly.

"Xierlan..."

Seeing how clingy this human was, Sexia felt both helpless and amused. He couldn't help but continue stroking the quiet Xierlan, tilting his head to kiss the corner of his lips.

"So, is eating me your reward?"

Xierlan paused. He lifted his head without saying a word, gently nuzzled against him, his lips brushing against Sexia's cheek before meeting his lips in a tender kiss.

After kissing, he burrowed back against Sexia, breathing slowly for a moment, his warm breath lingering against Sexia's neck.

A long time later, he mumbled quietly, as if shy, and confessed, "I just really, really wanted to simply touch you like this."

Author's note: How about an extra where Sexia gets pregnant and is sent to the human world with Xierlan?

At that time, our white-haired, blue-eyed cat will turn into a CEO with a slightly rounded belly, encountering Xierlan, who just received his admission notice.

And our college boy Xierlan will first get the "stepfather scenario" script—a pure college boy happily becoming a cheap dad, only to later find out he's the biological father...

(Slaps belly enthusiastically)
