Chapter 122 Are you afraid of me?
The bath took nearly two hours, and when Mikel came out, Cheng Chu helped him out.
After a busy day, Cheng Chu was starving. The two of them used the nutrient solution prepared by 0123 and then lay down on the big bed together.
The rain outside the window stopped sometime ago, and the night was unusually quiet in the pitch black.
The dim light of the nightlight fell on the bedside table. Mikel's slightly swollen lips parted slightly, and he said in a hoarse and solemn voice, "My Lord, I'm sorry."
Cheng Chu rested his chin on the top of Mikel's head, his fingers twirling a strand of Mikel's long golden hair. He called her, "Wife."
Mikel: "Hmm?"
Cheng Chu called out again, "Wife."
Mikel looked up from the male insect's embrace: "What's wrong, Master?"
"Don't call him 'Majesty,' just like before."
After realizing that the male insect was referring to the name he had been forced to use in the bathroom, Mikel blushed and lowered her head to softly call him, "Husband."
Cheng Chu persisted: "There's more to come, you have to say that too."
Mikel, unable to resist, whispered into the male insect's ear, "Honey, I love you."
In the bathroom, he had already fulfilled his desires as a male insect, saying this sentence over and over again. How could he not get tired of hearing it?
Cheng Chu was satisfied: "Yes, I forgive you."
Mikel was taken aback: "Huh?"
Then she understood what the male insect meant, and her heart softened.
"My lord, I haven't yet explained what it is. Would you like to hear my explanation?"
Cheng Chu said, "I'll listen if you want to talk, and you don't have to if you don't want to."
Of all these things, what he cared about most was whether Mikel liked him or not. Once he sensed Mikel's genuine affection, everything else became trivial.
Mikel doesn't want to talk about his past, so he can choose not to pursue it.
Mikel, holding the male insect's waist with a nervous heart, said, "I want to tell you, you can be angry, you can hit me, you can scold me, but please don't hate me, okay?"
Cheng Chu deliberately said, "No good."
Just like Mikel did on purpose in the return flight.
"Master, you..." Mikel's heart tightened. He looked up and met the male insect's amused eyes. He paused before he could finish speaking.
"I won't hit you, I won't scold you, and I certainly won't hate you." Cheng Chu put away his joking expression, looked into Mikel's eyes, and said with an unusually serious tone, "I like you."
Mikel softened: "My lord, thank you."
Mikel thought that the insect god must be looking out for him by letting him meet this male insect.
Cheng Chu frowned slightly: "That's not the name."
Mikel obediently changed her address: "Thank you, honey."
Cheng Chu took a deep sniff of Mikel's hair, hummed contentedly, and then quieted down to listen to Mikel's story.
"Before I was nine years old, I had a female father and a male father, and a male brother. The female father loved my brother and me very much, and the male father liked my brother..."
It's understandable that male Zerglings prefer male offspring. However, the male father, Mikel, is a microcosm of most male Zerglings: he is tyrannical, suspicious, greedy, and a gambler.
He had gambled away almost all of the family's assets; even the money Mikel's parents earned risking their lives on the battlefield wasn't enough to cover his losses.
Every time Mikel's father lost at gambling, he would drag Mikel's father-in-law into the punishment room in the basement of their house. Mikel witnessed his father-in-law being beaten to the point of near death time and time again.
Because of the Zerg's distorted social system, even the female general, who is a high-ranking officer, cannot resist.
One rainy night when Mikel was nine years old, the male father lost again and sent the female father and younger brother away beforehand. Unexpectedly, he showed Mikel a kind look and, taking advantage of the young Mikel's lack of awareness, injected him with an anesthetic.
Mikel said slowly, "The first time he smiled at me, he even brought me back a box of candy. I thought he liked me. I had no idea... he was going to give me away to other males to play with..."
Mikel didn't speak calmly about the next sentence.
Mikel was overjoyed when his father bought him his favorite candy, unaware that it was a box of poison disguised as honey.
The father lost the bet and was going to give him to the other party to play with for a few days.
The father, sensing something was wrong, rushed back without his younger brother and witnessed this scene.
The female father knelt humbly, begging that beast not to send him away, saying he could borrow star coins from his friends to repay the debt.
Mikel still remembers the greedy look on his face, and how he kicked his mother away.
"You idiot, you'd borrow from your friends for this little bitch, but when I gamble, you dare lie to me and say you have no star coins. Let me tell you, not only am I sending this little bitch there, but you're also going to borrow star coins for me tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll beat you and this little bitch to death!"
Grimias was one of the best female soldiers in the military, but she ended up with a gambling-addicted male ruler. Her mental state, already damaged on the battlefield, was on the verge of collapse. Coupled with Mikel's stingy father's usual mental support, she could no longer suppress her emotions at this moment.
During the struggle, Mikel, who had been injected with anesthesia, was thrown into a corner. Grimias's mental state went berserk, and he lost his reason. Sharp wings were released, instantly slicing through the male insect's carotid artery.
Mikel said casually, "He was lying on the ground, with a lot of red blood flowing from his neck. His eyes were wide open, and he was just staring at me like that."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chu hugged Mikel even tighter, stroking his back with her right hand to comfort him.
He soothed her, saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"I am not afraid, Master." Mikel was truly not afraid at all; he knew that his female father would protect him.
"They all say my female father had a severe mental illness, which is why he suddenly went mad and killed him, even dismembering his body." Mikel's fingers gripped the male insect's chest fabric, his deep blue eyes unfathomable, as he casually asked, "I'm the offspring of my female father. If I'm like him..."
Mikel looked up at Cheng Chu: "Honey, are you afraid of me?"
Cheng Chu lowered her head and kissed his forehead, whispering, "I'm not afraid. This isn't the female father's fault. It's him who doesn't deserve to be a male father."
He placed his hand on Mikel's lower abdomen and said with anticipation, "I will try my best to be a good father, and I won't let the baby end up like us..."
