Model Male Zerg of the Zerg Clan

Chapter 18

“Adler’s gone mad.”

“Huh? Who’s Adler?”

“…Well.”

This was an exquisitely decorated room. Even those unfamiliar with such things would be amazed upon entering.

On the walls hung some landscape oil paintings, all widely popular works. But upon closer inspection, one would realize they were not printed reproductions, but genuine pieces.

Layers of hand-woven woolen blankets were placed on the soft bed. It was likely that once you lay down, you would sink in and never want to get up.

This was a room provided for male zergs to rest.

On the soft sofa, a male zerg lazily yawned. He had a cute baby face and a pair of peach blossom eyes, which made him look innocent and affectionate. He exclaimed, “Seriously?! We’re all male zergs at least, how can you not even remember his name? Cheng Yan, you’re so heartless!”

Sitting on another sofa, the other male zerg had an average appearance and a somewhat gloomy expression, completely opposite to the male zerg with the baby face.

Cheng Yan chuckled, “You have a good memory. You remember every female zerg you’ve been with—what? You’ve been with Adler too? I can’t believe it! Our little cutie from the Nansheng Military Academy, Luo Qiuxing, actually has this kind of hobby.”

The baby-faced zerg’s face instantly twisted into a grimace, trembling in place. “I’m going to throw up. Please, next time before you make such disgusting jokes, give me a hint.”

“And besides, what are you so dissatisfied with me about? Every time you use this kind of thing to tease me.” Luo Qiuxing slapped the sofa, looking displeased. “Female zergs are so lovely and adorable. I just love every single one of them. You, being a celibate, how could you understand?”

A shade of gloom crossed Cheng Yan’s face, but it quickly disappeared. He furrowed his brow. “So who exactly is Adler?”

Speaking of this, Luo Qiuxing got angry. “I’ve told you many times before! That guy who always deceives female zergs, and then… then… does many excessive things!”

He stood on the sofa, gesturing wildly. “My favorite little female zerg! He ruined his wings! And he said he’ll never see me again, wahhh… I’m so sad, Cheng Yan, why won’t he see me?!” He muttered, “Clearly, it’s when he needs me the most. My open arms have always been open to all female zergs!”

Cheng Yan impatiently interrupted him. “So how did Adler go mad?”

Luo Qiuxing snorted. “Who knows? What does it matter to me if he goes mad? This way, my lovely female zergs won’t be in danger. It’s a good thing.”

Cheng Yan closed his eyes, rubbing his temples. “Then why did you tell me about this?”

“Hehe.” Luo Qiuxing chuckled, opening a communication device and pointing to a video for Cheng Yan to see. “I heard that Adler’s next target was this female zerg. Luckily, he went mad, otherwise, this beautiful female zerg would have suffered!”

He lay limply against Cheng Yan, his peach blossom eyes shining brightly. “Take a look.”

On the screen, the black-haired zerg stood tall and slender, his agile body stretching in the air, the cold light in his red eyes gleaming like inorganic pure gems.

He wore a fitted uniform, outlining his attractive figure. A heavy sniper rifle rested on his shoulder, and his eyes behind the scope narrowed slightly.

He looked like a poised black panther, dangerous yet enchanting.

“Ahhh!!!” Luo Qiuxing hammered the sofa desperately. “He’s so handsome!!! I’m! In! Love!!”

It was well known that Luo Qiuxing, from the Nansheng Military Academy, was the most talkative male zerg. His words upon entering school had shocked everyone.

“I want to love all the female zergs in the world—I came here to offer my sincere love to the beautiful female zergs!”

Cheng Yan watched the video with a cold expression.

When he saw Lu Xi falling from the sky, only to be caught by Xia Baiyuan who suddenly appeared, he suddenly moved his mouth slightly.

He had always been gloomy, with an average appearance, but when he suddenly smiled, his entire plain face became exceptionally charming.

Even Luo Qiuxing was dumbfounded.

“Damn, really, Cheng Yan!” Luo Qiuxing exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Did you just laugh? Laughed! Damn, you’re so cool!”

But then he reacted and looked conflicted and pained. “You laughed because… you also have eyes for him? Ugh… this… this… I’ll give him to you this time!”

The smile on Cheng Yan’s face instantly disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously at Luo Qiuxing, who felt goosebumps all over his body.

Then, he reached out and pressed on Luo Qiuxing’s face, pushing him down. “Save your heart, you can’t get him.”

Only an idiot wouldn’t see what Xia Baiyuan’s gaze towards Lu Xi meant.

Unfortunately, Luo Qiuxing was just such an idiot.

Cheng Yan raised the communication device, lightly laughing. “Xia Baiyuan, you’re much luckier than me.”

In the video, the black-haired zerg gazed blankly at the silver-haired zerg, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.

“Pfft! Pfft!” Luo Qiuxing sat up defiantly. “Do you think he’s a sub-female? What’s wrong with sub-females? Sub-females can be cute too. I must be with Lu Xi!”

Only female zergs have wings, while pseudo-females and male zergs do not.

It’s not easy for Lu Xi to enter the military academy as a sub-female.

Holding the communication device, Luo Qiuxing smiled with narrowed eyes.

Ah, I heard that sub-females are different from female zergs. They have a pseudo-estrus period.

He would make Lu Xi very comfortable, hehe.

—

Lu Xi sneezed.

Xia Baiyuan looked at him. “Did I infect you?”

Lu Xi rubbed his nose. “No, it seems like someone is talking about me. They must be urging me to the banquet.”

It seemed that since he defeated Liang Huangchuan from Class Nine, his classmates had been unreasonably enthusiastic about him.

With a serious face, Lu Xi said, “Ah, it’s nothing, just an exceptional performance. You guys are exaggerating.”

Actually, inwardly: [Bring it on, I love hearing this, hehe.]

So, he naturally accepted his classmates’ invitation. Tonight, his classmates were going to hold a proper welcome party for him.

Lu Xi checked the time, it was time to leave.

He put on his coat and sat at the entrance to put on his boots.

The military academy’s boots were also standardized. These boots were made of high-quality leather, with laces all the way to the top, providing excellent warmth, but they were a bit inconvenient to put on.

He struggled patiently with the laces for ten minutes before finally getting them right.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned his head and saw Xia Baiyuan lying on the table, burying his entire face in his arms.

Lu Xi’s heart tightened, and without taking off his boots, he ran back, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground.

He looked at Xia Baiyuan with concern. “Is your cold getting worse again?”

Xia Baiyuan didn’t move.

Lu Xi froze.

Worsening cold = high fever = meningitis = death.

Alarm bells ringing!

“Xia Baiyuan? Xia Baiyuan?”

He anxiously reached into Xia Baiyuan’s arms, lifted his face gently, and his warm breath hit Lu Xi’s palm. Lu Xi stiffened.

For some reason, he felt his face heating up too.

Xia Baiyuan struggled to take a breath, his hands clenched into fists, trying to stay awake. “What’s wrong?”

But what he didn’t know was that his voice was sticky and muffled, with a bit of nasal tone.

—It was just like being coquettish.

Lu Xi’s gaze lingered on his lips, which had turned slightly darker, revealing a hint of pink tongue between opening and closing.

Lu Xi suddenly withdrew his hand, realizing his own loss of composure, and said stiffly, “You… uh, your cold has worsened. Did you take your medicine today?”

Xia Baiyuan nodded. “I did.”

“Then you should go back to your room and rest,” Lu Xi urged. “Or should I take you to the infirmary?”

Xia Baiyuan shook his head gently.

Although he showed no expression on his face, his nails were almost piercing his palms, drawing blood.

In any case, he had to hold on until Lu Xi left.

It shouldn’t be today; there should still be about three days left… Why did it come so soon?

Could it be that exhaustion had already affected his body?

Xia Baiyuan lowered his eyes, and his translucent blue eyes reflected self-disgust.

So disgusting.

So disgusting.

He was clearly a female zerg, so why did he feel like a sub-female…

“Aren’t you going to the banquet?” Xia Baiyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to say, “I think I just need to sleep, you go ahead.”

“That won’t do!” The black-haired male zerg raised his voice, seemingly startling himself, then softened it. “Xia Baiyuan, you look terrible. It’s okay if I don’t go. They’re all good classmates, they won’t blame me.”

Xia Baiyuan couldn’t stand it anymore. He felt like throwing up.

But no matter what, he didn’t want to show his ugly side in front of Lu Xi.

Just thinking about that scene made him want to vomit.

“Lu Xi, if you stay by my side, I won’t be able to sleep.” He slightly curled his lips. “I’ll feel guilty and unable to rest. You still have to interact with your classmates for many years. They finally accepted you, right?”

Lu Xi: “…”

Xia Baiyuan: “I really can’t rest. Please, go.”

Please, go.

Lu Xi looked at him steadily.

Xia Baiyuan’s eyes began to resemble those on the starship that day.

He didn’t want to stay.

He had a premonition that if he forcibly stayed now, Xia Baiyuan would definitely collapse.

Like a completely shattered cup, it would never be whole again.

“Alright… Alright.” Lu Xi let go of his hand and said softly, “I’ll go. But when should I come back?”

He looked at Xia Baiyuan pleadingly.

Xia Baiyuan gazed into Lu Xi’s eyes.

A sense of relief gradually filled his heart. It was strange; this was the first time he had felt relieved in such a situation.

Lu Xi didn’t even ask why. From the moment they met until now, Lu Xi had never asked him why.

Even though he knew nothing, he never violated any of his taboos.

Lu Xi was different from everyone else.

Xia Baiyuan reached out and gently tapped Lu Xi’s hand. “You’ll come back after nine, right?”

Lu Xi looked deeply into his eyes. “Yes, I’ll come back after nine.”

“Go then.”

Until the sound of the door closing and Lu Xi locked it again, Xia Baiyuan finally lost all his strength. He slid down from the chair, resting his cheek on the cold floor until he felt a little better.

That’s great.

He slowly released his hand, and a small gun slid to the ground.

Lu Xi didn’t notice, but Xia Baiyuan’s gun was already on safety. Until the moment he couldn’t hold on any longer, the bullet would pierce through Xia Baiyuan’s chest.

Three hours.

If Lu Xi really came back in three hours, then he would tell him everything.

Xia Baiyuan gently curved a smile.

Lu Xi would definitely make it.
