When Lu Mo woke up in the middle of the night, his consciousness was still unclear. He stared blankly in the darkness for a while before sitting up and reaching out to turn on the light.
Ling wasn’t by his side; he was alone in bed.
Lu Mo reached out to touch the blanket, and the side where Ling slept was still warm, indicating that he had left not long ago.
In the middle of the night, where did Ling go? Could it be that there was a sudden military matter?
Lu Mo ran his hand through his hair and rubbed his groggy head. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
The winter air felt especially dry, and he felt a bit thirsty.
Normally, when he got out of bed, Ling would have already placed a glass of water by the bedside. The water temperature was just right, slightly hot, and very comforting.
Lu Mo cleared his throat – well, he didn’t even know where the water was, even though this was his own home.
He walked out of the room, and outside the room was a long corridor with a window at the end.
Lu Mo noticed that the window was open, and Ling was leaning against the windowsill.
He was backlit, creating a sharp and clean silhouette in the night.
“Limg?” Lu Mo called out when he realized Ling was there.
Upon hearing Lu Mo’s voice, Ling turned his head towards him and asked, “Why are you awake?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Lu Mo muttered and joined Ling by the window.
He leaned halfway out of the window and looked at the cityscape outside. Even at this late hour, the city was still bustling with bright lights and busy traffic.
The night breeze was cool as they stood together, creating a unique atmosphere of tranquility.
In their breaths, Lu Mo could smell the distinctive scent of blood and rust emanating from Ling.
Perhaps because Ling was pregnant, Lu Mo felt that the scent had become much milder compared to before. If he used to find this scent dangerous, now he could detect a hint of freshness within it.
It was like a layer of snow that covered the smell of gunpowder.
Lu Mo adjusted Ling’s hair. He had always liked Ling’s hair and said, “Why did you get up in the middle of the night? Isn’t tomorrow a rest day?”
Rarely, he didn’t use his usual mocking tone.
Because the night was so tranquil, because the wind was so refreshing, he genuinely enjoyed it and babbled, “I thought you were called away by the military at this hour.”
Ling chuckled softly and placed his hand on the back of Lu Mo’s hand, looking at him with a burning gaze.
Lu Mo was taken aback by his gaze and couldn’t help turning his head away. “And you…”
Ling leaned closer to him, and his words trailed off between their lips.
“Good… enough…”
Lu Mo pushed Ling away with a mix of crying and laughter. He felt that the rare atmosphere had dissipated instantly. He reached out to touch Ling’s cheek and narrowed his eyes, saying, “You’re changing the subject. What happened, after all?”
Ling blinked his eyes. “Do you really want to know?”
Oh…
Lu Mo instantly became cautious.
Just as Ling knew him very well, Lu Mo also knew exactly what kind of temper his wife had.
Never be deceived by Ling’s appearance. When he showed this kind of ambiguous smile, he was definitely scheming something mischievous.
Lu Mo withdrew his hand and fixedly looked at his wife. He grinned, showing his teeth. “No, I’m not interested.”
Ling: “Yes, you are.”

Ling’s eyes and eyebrows curved, looking at him with a smile. “I have another hobby. Would you like to know?”
Lu Mo’s face turned gloomy. “No, I don’t want to.”
His mind was in chaos, his eardrums ringing, and the phrase “I’m done for” echoed in his heart.
Ling whispered in his ear, his voice like that of a devil.
“Lu Mo, I’m reading a novel.”
“Guess what I’m reading?”
Lu Mo: …
Lu Mo: *Gulps*
Wait a minute…
He was sweating profusely and struggled to free himself from Ling’s embrace. However, he didn’t dare to make big movements. He struggled for a while but to no avail.
He turned his head shakily. “I didn’t expect you to have this interest, haha.”
Ling raised his eyebrows, looking at his helpless appearance. “I have another hobby. Do you want to know?”
Lu Mo’s face turned into a wooden expression. “No, I don’t want to.”
His mind was like a mess, his eardrums thundering, and the four words echoed in his mind.
I’m doomed.
Ling: “Reading books can be quite exhausting. I prefer listening to someone reading to me.”
Lu Mo looked at his beautiful and obedient wife, and a sense of despair gradually leaked from him.
He struggled desperately, saying, “The forum has a feature for voice-read books…”
“Ah,” Ling leaned closer, almost sticking to him, and said, “Master, do you know that recently, my account has been filled with all sorts of strange things? I have no idea.”
Lu Mo: …
Gummy, due to a rare bout of chuunibyou, he had bought everything for Ling’s account—all those things with a “bury yourself in front of the entire zerg race” style.
“…”
Under the night sky, the black-haired, green-eyed male zerg had an incomparably handsome face. The way he pursed his lips appeared cold and stern.
Anyone who saw him would feel genuine fear from the depths of their heart, yet they couldn’t help but be attracted to him.
For a long time, the male zerg sighed softly and closed his eyes. “I understand.”
He took the communicator from Ling’s hand and tapped it a few times. A translucent projection appeared in the air.
The male zerg’s deep voice, slightly hoarse after waking up, echoed in the long corridor.
“The first time he saw this female, he thought, ‘This must be my female.’
This silver-haired female had come to his side at this moment, and only fate could explain it.
But the female looked at him with extremely cold eyes.
Lu Mo didn’t feel sad or offended by it. On the contrary, he felt very happy.
Because his female was very calm, he was destined to fall in love with him not out of female’s nature or the zerg race’s beliefs.”
Ling looked at him, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, and whispered, “Did you really think that at the time?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Mo’s eyes widened, and his mind went blank.
Did my first glance really decide everything?
Lu Mo cleared his throat and said seriously, “Art originates from life but transcends it.”
Ling understood and said, “So, that’s what you really thought.”
Lu Mo glanced at him but remained silent.
Ling continued, “Do you know what I thought at that time?”
Lu Mo watched him from the corner of his eye, his body leaning away from Ling, displaying his current state of indecision.
Finally, he said dryly, “What were you thinking?”
“I was thinking…” Ling lowered his gaze. Half a year later, he sincerely tried to recall the emotions he had when he first saw Lu Mo.
Back then, he had escaped in a sorry state from the Imperial Star, not understanding what was happening. What he did and what he truly thought were completely contradictory. It was as if there was a strange force guiding him in the opposite direction at crucial moments.
He was like a trapped beast, unable to find a way out.
Looking back now, his feelings for Song Jian Shu were somewhat diminished. What he resisted more was the force that appeared alongside Song Jian Shu.
Anyone who appeared beside him at that time would have been killed by his irrational self.
But…
When he stood up from the mess, he met a pair of green eyes, filled with uncontainable astonishment.
In an instant, Ling’s rationality came to a conclusion: this was an extremely low-ranking male, posing no threat. Even if he killed him, it would have no impact.
So, he did just that.
He raised his weapon impatiently, the tip of the blade against the male’s neck. With a gentle movement, he could make this male disappear from the world.
At the same time, a hint of hesitation arose within him.
He thought it was the remnants of his compassion that he hadn’t completely discarded—after all, Lu Mo appeared so fragile at that moment, and he was not accustomed to wielding his blade against the weak.
So, he only issued a warning, “You stay away from me.”
But why did he faint in front of Lu Mo?
Losing consciousness meant being at someone’s mercy. He was always vigilant, even when severely injured and on the verge of death, he would try to stay conscious.
Looking back now…
“What are you thinking?” Lu Mo couldn’t help but ask when he noticed Ling’s contemplative expression. “I warn you, don’t try to play tricks on me.”
Ling snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Lu Mo intently.
Yes.
Although the seed was too small to notice during their first encounter, it truly existed and had fallen into the depths of his withered heart on that evening.
Then, in the days that followed, it was nurtured by Lu Mo’s own hands, eventually growing into a lush forest.
“I felt the same way.”
Lu Mo was taken aback. “What?”
“I mean,” Ling leaned against the window, looking at Lu Mo with a relaxed and lazy smile, “when I first saw you, perhaps I had already fallen in love with you.”
In that moment, Lu Mo saw the reflection of the golden lights from outside in Ling’s half-closed eyes, shimmering and radiant.
“You…” Lu Mo’s face gradually warmed up. He crossed his arms and said fiercely, “Did you really need to tell me that? I’ve known you liked me for a long time.”
“Even if you pretend well, you can’t escape my eyes.”
He raised his chin, feeling proud.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Lu Mo saw a dark figure pouncing towards him.
In an instant, he reacted and reached out his hand–
After seeing what he caught, Lu Mo’s eyes widened.
It was a round, white egg, small enough to be held with both hands, quietly lying in his palm.
Then, it gently moved, as if nuzzling his palm.
“Ling, Ling, Ling–” Lu Mo’s pupils trembled, his hands at a loss as he looked at his female monarch. “Egg, egg… where did the egg come from?”
Ling replied, “I laid it.”
Lu Mo exclaimed, “Huh?”
Ling said, “It’s your egg.”
Lu Mo stuttered, “Huh?”
He seemed to understand and yet not understand.
Ling touched his nose and explained, “I thought you might be scared, so… I was thinking of how to tell you, but I couldn’t figure it out, so I came out for a walk…”
Lu Mo said, “Huh?”
Ling blinked his eyes, his red irises flickering, finally revealing a hint of shyness. “But it seems like it couldn’t wait. It instinctively wanted to be close to you.”
So…
Lu Mo dumbfoundedly looked at the egg in his hand and felt the faint calling coming from inside. Finally, he realized one thing.
Ah, he became an male father.
He looked at the egg, then at Ling, and said with difficulty, “You…”
“How did it come out?”
Ling replied, “…”
Lu Mo asked again, “…”
Earthlings couldn’t understand the zerg race today.
A slight movement came from his feet, and when Lu Mo looked down, another egg quietly rolled towards him, rubbing against his leg.
He looked at Ling, who bent down to pick up the egg, and Ling said, “There are two eggs.”
Lu Mo fell into chaos.
Author’s Note: Ling finally gave birth, wuwuwu.
It’s so difficult, wuwuwu.
Since I heard that everyone is starting school today, A-Liang is trying his best to see if he can finish the hatching today.
