"You don't look like you go out much."

Now that the topic was brought up, and since neither of them was the type to follow the rules, Paten naturally started the conversation.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lieutenant General," Bai Meng continued his conversation and made a joke, "If you had come any later, the clerks in this store would have chased me away."

This is really not a lie. Even though Bai Meng's figure looks thinner than the female insect, the bad thing is that this store is located close to the military, and the clerks are more vigilant.

"You are joking, sir. With your demeanor, I think the clerk is more likely to be attracted to you."

Paten praised Bai Meng lightly and said with some kind words of consolation: "You underestimate yourself too much."

Bai Meng did not continue the conversation, but instead returned the words to Paten: "I will also return the same words to the lieutenant general."

"Oh?"

"You don't have to lighten your weight in front of me, just as I won't look down on insects that like sweet food because I like spicy food."

Bai Meng tapped the table with his slender fingers and stared at Paten with a serious expression: "Just like before, the lieutenant general should not be a bug that would waste food. I will not indulge myself in eating those greasy sweet foods, so the lieutenant general does not need to change his preferences."

Paten felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that. Yes, he had long noticed that the male insect in front of him did not have any contempt for the female insect in his eyes, only respect, even reverence.

This was not just a pretense by those noble male insects. There was no trace of disguise in Patern's racial talent. The male insect in front of him truly respected every female insect he saw.

But no male insect would joke about being kicked out by a sub-female clerk.

And this is what the female insect seeks most throughout her life.

Thinking of this, Paten straightened his attitude and frankly admitted his impoliteness and guilt: "I am very sorry, sir."

Bai Meng shook his head. Although Paten didn't say why he was sorry, Bai Meng understood.

"Don't be sorry, Admiral. This is the right thing to do."

"This means that you won't easily trust a male insect. You can protect yourself well. This is a good thing. I'm very happy."

Paten touched his nose uncomfortably and hummed.

Paten suddenly said, "It's really frightening to talk to you."

Different from all the male insects he had seen, purple eyes and purple hair were the symbols of the psychedelic butterfly insect race. In ancient times, they could pull insects that had evil thoughts towards them into a fantasy world and kill them invisibly.

The only existing Zerg of this lineage is Paten, who inherited the genes from his female father. The records of him have long been lost with time, and only a very small number of Zerg know the abilities of the psychedelic butterfly Zerg.

The psychedelic butterfly, which has not regained its ancestral bloodline, does not pose a threat, but Paten's abilities are actually no less than those of his ancestors.

But this ability is useless against the male in front of him. Paten tried it when he first met him.

A hero without any evil intentions can be believed, but Paten refuses to sink.

"Oh?" Bai Meng thought this sentence was very interesting: "Then Lieutenant General, you have to get used to it sooner. After all, we will live together in the future."

He held up a finger: "The deadline is a lifetime."

Paten was startled by this sentence. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly: "Sir, very few male insects will promise to be with female insects for a lifetime." Also, very few female insects can live a lifetime.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Paten's next words.

Bai Meng: "Please come in."

The graceful female arranged the food and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

"Well, thank you."

The sub-female waiter stepped back, not even realizing that the person in front of him was a male insect.

Bai Meng looked down at the dishes on the table, pushed the salty dishes in front of Paten, and said, "Lieutenant General, please don't feel burdened."

"To be honest, Lieutenant General, have you seen the marriage agreement?"

Paten nodded: "I have seen it."

"If I was matched with another female, there would be another name on the agreement."

Paten naturally picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food in front of him and put it into his mouth, listening quietly. The male insect in front of him seemed to be wandering outside the world, looking for a stable home in this imperial star where there is singing and dancing everywhere.

To the male insect, the name on the agreement is just the most ordinary branch on a big tree, and he could land on any of them.

Bai Meng continued, "Lieutenant General, I think you may not be happy with what I said. I apologize."

Paten shook his head: "If you made such an agreement specifically for me, then I would be truly flattered."

"That agreement is the life that every female insect dreams of, except..."

"Love, huh?" Bai Meng guessed what he was going to say: "That's exactly what I want to tell you, Lieutenant General."

The two insects put down their chopsticks at the same time; the conversation had reached the most critical point.

"Lieutenant General Patten, for me, that agreement represents the most basic respect for my future partner, as well as a guarantee that will give him peace of mind. It will have permanent legal effect." Bai Meng looked at the female insect in front of him seriously, attentively and sincerely.

"I have to be honest with you. I have no intention of looking for a partner."

Paten listened quietly and couldn't help laughing again. What a coincidence, he did the same.

Bai Meng said in a very serious tone: "But I promised my adoptive father that I would show him a complete family."

"And I shouldn't be the only bug in the house."

Bai Meng picked up the spoon and served Paten a bowl of soup.

"You want to find a house bug?"

Paten took it, stirred it a few times with a spoon, and put it back on the table.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, looking at Bai Meng as if he were his prey, and all the momentum he had restrained before was released, like a sharp sword out of its sheath: "Your Excellency should have heard the rumor that I killed Xiong's father. Don't you think I'm dangerous?"

"Danger?" Bai Meng tilted his head and asked, "Will the lieutenant general hurt me or not?"

"No, as long as what you do does not touch my bottom line, I will not do anything to you, sir."

"Then what do I have to be afraid of?" Bai Meng always gets to the heart of the matter right away: "I will respect my partner, but the laws of the empire won't. Even a female monarch cannot have unimpeded freedom."

"On this basis, all love is false. Lieutenant General, I will not promise you love, but I will share my resources, my value, and my status with you."

"You can use me as much as you want, as long as you respect what I want to do."

Paten moved his fingers, his eyes straightened up, and even Paten felt shocked by what he heard today: "It doesn't sound like a losing deal."

With a male insect as cover, their research would be safer, but... Paten would at most not doubt the male insect he had only met once, but it would take more time for him to trust him enough to entrust the secrets to him.

It's not just Paten, Bai Meng as well, they are really similar.

"Of course not, Lieutenant General. I never let my partners suffer." Bai Meng was very honest. He had the initiative in the entire conversation. He took out the paper version of the marriage agreement at the right time: "So, Lieutenant General, do you have any objections to this agreement? The optical computer has a printing device, and we can change it at any time."

Paten suddenly gave a wicked smile, he took the agreement, scanned it electronically with his optical computer, and displayed the electronic version on the screen.

"Of course, my Lord."

Paten added a clause on top of it - Bai Meng was not allowed to call the Xiong Bao Hui or send Paten to the Imperial Prison under any circumstances.

Bai Meng raised his eyebrows, expressing his doubts.

"Lieutenant General, do I actually look like a domestic violence bug?"

Paten replied: "You misunderstood, sir. I am just providing you with a guarantee to respect everything I will do in the future, just like you."

Very good, they are all bugs with secrets.

Bai Meng had no objection to this. Not to mention that he would never do that anyway, even if they really had a disagreement in the future, the Qing official would always have to deal with family affairs. How could he and Paten, as an outsider, have the right to interfere in their own affairs?

Bai Meng groaned and said, "Wait a moment."

He modified the electronic version on the computer and added the last sentence.

"Too many bugs in the house would be troublesome, do you think this is okay?"

Paten watched his movements and had to admit that he seemed to have found a treasure.

Oh no, this should be sent to me by the bugs above.

It was the only good thing they had done for him.

"No objection, my dear sir." Paten no longer pretended. He liked the feeling of being in control and had an absolute obsession and possessiveness for the things that belonged to him. "Since you have stated in the agreement that I will be your only female insect, then I will definitely share the honor and disgrace with you."

Bai Meng liked what he said very much. He smiled brightly, and his silver and peaceful eyes seemed to emit moonlight. He no longer used honorifics, but directly called the other person by his name: "Patern, would you like another bowl of soup?"

Paten looked at the male insect's eyes for a few more times before he came to his senses and nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the male insect serving him soup, so he handed the bowl over and said, "Okay, the food in this restaurant is pretty good."

Bai Meng picked up the spoon and filled a large bowl for him: "This is the latest recipe developed by the Lorraine Group. It is a soup that can replenish the nutrition of female insects. You just came back from a mission, so drink more to replenish your body."

Paten held a full bowl in his hand and didn't think it was strange that Bai Meng knew that this store was owned by Lorraine. After all, he saw the Lorraine Group logo before entering the door, a randomly curved red curve with three golden stars of equal size.

What made Paten even more curious was the seal on the agreement.

"My dear sir, you should know that it is illegal to misappropriate the seal of the Imperial Supreme Court, right?"
