As a male insect, I am cooking food live

Shen Hui's heart tightened. He slowed down his tone and comforted Tabby: "Tabi, I don't want you to worry."

Shen Hui had long been accustomed to taking on all the unstable factors himself. Telling the other party before the dust had settled would only cause more trouble for them.

Shen Hui has always been like this. As the captain, he naturally has to keep the unfavorable factors out.

"You don't want me to worry?" Tabby repeated, and he smiled. It was not his usual smile, but this time it had a different meaning.

"Shen, is this your explanation to me?"

"..." Shen Hui didn't say anything.

Al and System 1111 looked at the atmosphere between the two insects and wisely did not speak.

"Shen, you talked about me before." Tabby seemed to have calmed down. "You said I completely ignored myself on the battlefield."

"You told me that the bugs were worried about me and asked me to protect myself. That's what you said, right?"

Shen Hui didn't know why Tabby brought up this topic, but he said truthfully, "Yes, Tabby."

"Now that I think about it, what I do on the battlefield has nothing to do with you." The voice was gentle and steady, but it revealed indifference.

Shen Hui looked up in astonishment, and spoke before he realized it: "No, Tabi. You can't joke with your own body."

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the aperture of system 1111 moved and was about to speak, but was held back by Al. Al shook his head at system 1111, meaning not to disturb Shen Hui at this time.

Tabby didn't reply immediately, but Shen Hui's originally calm mood had already been stirred up by Tabby. He rarely showed a trace of anxiety.

"Shen, I have no right to control you. And what right do you have to control me?" Tabby asked.

In front of Shen Hui, Tabby has always been both a teacher and a friend. When faced with Tabby's questions, Shen Hui answered them without hesitation.

"Best friend. Tabby, you're my best friend. I don't want you to get hurt."

After hearing Shen Hui's answer, El in his sea of ​​consciousness was stunned.

You two have even gone to the point of chatting on voice and showing each other your bedrooms. What kind of close friends are you? Neither Dupont nor I have done that.

Al patted his head, trying to wake himself up. Or maybe the meaning of a close friend had changed during his sleep.

"Shen, you don't treat me as a close friend. You don't trust me." Tabby said word by word, "Otherwise, why did you hide it from me?"

"I don't want to make you worry." Shen Hui blurted out.

The topic between the two insects returned to the starting point. But this time, Tabby did not give Shen Hui any room to maneuver.

"Shen, you're still running away. What are you afraid of?" Tabby asked, "I can promise you that I won't get hurt on the battlefield, what about you?"

Shen Hui knew what Tabby was talking about.

What about you? Can you not lie to me?

"You're right, Tabby." Shen Hui once again exposed his vulnerable side in front of Tabby. Tabby was always different. He could see what was wrong with him at a glance and pointed out his problems with sharp words.

“I’m running away.”

After hearing Shen Hui's answer, Tabi asked, "What are you running away from?"

Tabby spoke calmly, like a leader who was patient and persuasive. Or, in other words, Tabby had always been the leader in front of Shen Hui in this regard.

"I just think these things don't need to be said."

"reason?"

"We all know the risks during the molting period, and no one can help me. Telling you will only make you worry, and I don't want you to worry." Shen Hui said. He didn't want the insects he cared about to be in any danger.

He would keep danger and suffering out of the door. Just like he did before, he could do it, he must do it. Shen Hui would do this no matter who he was in front of.

When he first arrived at the Zerg, Shen Hui concealed his uneasiness. When talking to Dupont, Shen Hui concealed his worries. When talking to Lieutenant General Taber, Shen Hui suppressed his emotions.

He is the omnipotent captain in the minds of his teammates. He is the most suitable host in the eyes of System 1111. He is the grown-up Al in the eyes of Dupont. He is a trusted partner in the eyes of Donald. He is a worthy partner in the eyes of Lieutenant General Taber. He is the perfect successor in the eyes of Alger.

Shen Hui can be the image that all insects want. He is perfect, omnipotent and reliable.

But neither of them is the real Shen Hui.

And Tabby can always take off the mask of Shen Hui. What Tabby wants is always the real Shen Hui.

The stumbling Shen who dared to discuss spiritual power with him. The ignorant Shen who knew nothing about the common sense of Zerg. The Shen who could cry and laugh and had his own little shortcomings.

What Tabi touched was always the real Shen Hui. Once the other party tried to hide or escape, he could always detect it, as if it was an innate ability.

"Shen, you think too highly of yourself." Tabby sighed, "The molting period of most butterfly species is between 2 and 4 days, so you told me that you were out on a mission for four days."

"You feel like I can't help you. If you tell me, I'll just have to worry about it alone."

"But you also make mistakes sometimes. Shen, are you satisfied with the current situation?"

Tabby was right.

"The current situation is not what I want." Shen Hui replied. He didn't want Tabby to worry about him. When he thought about Tabby worrying about him, Shen Hui's first reaction was to blame himself.

It was because I didn't do my best that Tabby worried about me.

"Shen, you are very greedy," Tabby said. "You want my trust, but you are not willing to give me even a little bit of sincerity."

Shen Hui listened to Tabby quietly, as if they were just chatting as usual.

"If I were to hide this from you, Shen, how would you feel?"

"I'm worried and confused. I don't want you to hide it from me." Shen Hui said truthfully.

Tabby responded softly: "That's how I feel right now, Shen."

"...Sorry, Tabby."

"I care more about your real situation than false security," Tabby said. "Whether I can help you or not, you are the one I care about the most."

"Shen, it is precisely because I am your best friend that I worry about you. That is why I want to know your true situation. You said that you don't want me to worry, so what exactly is this worry you are talking about?"

What is it? Actually, it's just my worry. Shen Hui thought. At this moment, Shen Hui finally admitted his thoughts.

Rather than worrying, he didn't want to disappoint others. What he wanted was always to do his best. He was a reliable captain, so he would not show his fragility and would hide all his emotions under a smile.

He would not let others down again. He also did not want to see any more casualties. If he let others down, he would be left behind and blamed.

"It's my own selfish desire." Shen Hui said, closing his eyes.

"No." Tabby denied, "This is not selfish, Shen, you are blaming yourself again."

"Tabby, you think too highly of me." Shen Hui opened his eyes. He looked a little different now.

"Because you're just that nice. You just have some bad habits."

Tabby could always say things that sounded like love words easily, but he himself never noticed.

"Shen, you can trust me more. I'm older than you and I can help you."

"Is it because we are close friends?"

"What do you think?" Tabby asked back.

Shen Hui smiled. He smiled and replied, "You are right, Tabby."

"Put yourself in my shoes. I care more about your safety than false news." Shen Hui was happy to accept the fact that a corner of his heart was opened. "I won't hide it from you anymore."

The atmosphere between the two insects changed at this moment.

After hearing Shen Hui's answer, Tabby said with a smile: "Shen, congratulations on reaching adulthood and passing the molting period."

Tabby's voice was much higher than usual, and he was genuinely happy for himself.

"Yes. Thank you for your blessing." Shen Hui replied.

"Welcome to our world." Tabby said, "The universe and the sea of ​​stars are officially open to you."

Adult female insects have truly obtained the ticket to travel or explore the starry sea. Adult female insects have many choices.

"I still say what I said before. I can give you any kind of career guidance you want," Tabby said.

He respected Shen's ideas, and no matter what path Shen wanted to take, he could help Shen, and even with his connection with Al, he could make Shen not rely on the male insect.

"I have made up my mind." Shen Hui said, "Tabby, I want to join the army."

[Shen Hui! It is unprecedented for male insects to join the army. Driving mechas is a huge burden on us.] It was Al who spoke.

Seeing that Shen Hui did not respond to him, Al looked at the ball of light in his hand.

[Shen Hui is your host, don't you care about the host's health? ]

[System 1111 supports the host.] System 1111 said, [I will not interfere with any of the host's choices.]

No. For a male Night Pearl Morpho Butterfly, driving a mecha is even more impossible. Al can't just sit back and watch.

[Shen Hui, if you like him, you can let him go to Dolan Planet to accompany you, or let him be your queen, and you can just use this as an excuse to leave Dolan Planet. There is no need for you to take risks.] Ai Er looked at Shen Hui, whose face was calm in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He always felt that Shen Hui at this moment was very similar to XCG during the call.

Shen Hui looked at Al and shook his head gently. He said: [Al, will you let Dubon take the risk? ]

[...] Al gritted his teeth, [No. Because... Dubon is my dear, he grew up with me, I won't let him take risks.]

Otherwise, he would not have become an outdoor adventure anchor on a low-level star. Relying on a meager salary to relieve Dubon's pressure, Al knew his own death date.

He cannot survive the molting period and will die. Only Dubangge will be left.

[I won't let Tabby take risks either.] Shen Hui replied, [Al, I have my own plans. You don't have to worry.]

[Dolan is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to leave.] Al said. This is also one of the reasons why he did not want Shen Hui to come to Dolan.

For male insects, Duolan Star is a place where they can only enter but not leave. Unless a male insect reaches a marriage contract with a privileged insect and leaves Duolan Star with the privileged insect.

[There will always be a way.] Shen Hui said.

Al did not speak. When Shen Hui was talking to Al in his sea of ​​consciousness, Tabby did not speak.

"join the army."

Shen Hui noticed that Tabby seemed to have hit something, and that thing was jumping up and down, flying around Tabby.

"Shen, do you want to join the army?"

"Yeah." Shen Hui replied with a smile, "I've always wanted to see the universe and the sea of ​​stars you told me about, as well as those strange beasts."

"Which legion do you want to join?"

Shen Hui tilted his head, a hint of smile flashed across his eyes: "Well, the First Legion?"

"The First Legion is not good enough." Tabby rejected it immediately. "The leader of the First Legion is a jerk. He is usually ambitious but incompetent."

"The Second Legion? Didn't you say that the Second Legion was short of butterfly species?"

"No, the Second Legion is extremely xenophobic."

...

Shen Hui mentioned several more legions, but Tabby found reasons to reject them all.

"In this case, only the Breakthrough Army is left."

At this point, Tabby also realized Shen Hui's intention. He snorted.

"Only the Breakthrough Army is left. Do you want to choose it?"

"Choose. The Breakthrough Army has strict discipline, is not exclusive, and has transparent promotions. Of course you should choose." Shen Hui nodded affirmatively.

"..." Tabby said nothing.

"But I heard that the Breakthrough Army needs a recommendation to enter. What do you think of me, Tabby?"

"Don't give me that. I'll recommend you in three months," Tabby said. "Just send me the medical report then."

Three months later, it was time for the legion to recruit students again.

"it is good."

"Then you can rest today and go to class as usual tomorrow," said Tabby.

Considering that Shen Hui had just gone through the molting period, Tabby canceled tonight's training, just in time for Shen Hui to have a good rest.

Tabby said one more thing before hanging up the voice call.

"Shen, when we actually meet, I will tell you something in person."

Tabby then took the initiative to hang up the voice call.

"A real meeting..." Shen Hui repeated in a low voice. Three months would be enough time for him to carry out his plan.

Al and System 1111 watched the entire conversation between the two insects. Al looked at Shen Hui's expression and did not speak for the time being.

Shen Hui closed his eyes and took a rest.

"11, check my current physical condition."

After finishing the call with Tabby, Shen Hui finally had time to observe his physical condition.

[Host, your current physical fitness is A-level, and your mental strength is A+.] System 1111 truthfully reported Shen Hui's physical condition.

[Shen Hui, your voice has also changed.] Ai Er added, [Even the language of the A-level Night Pearl Flash Butterfly will have an impact on both female and male insects, with the limit being the same level or below.]

"When I was talking to Tabby just now, Tabby didn't seem to have any other reaction." Shen Hui frowned slightly. He didn't want to affect Tabby.

[It can be controlled. When you were not used to it at the beginning, it affected me.] Eldon paused, [Later, when you talked to Tabby, you unconsciously restrained yourself.]

[But,] Al changed the subject, [Are you really going to join the army? Don’t you want to go home?]

Shen Hui looked at his wet clothes, looked around the hall and finally found a place to put clothes. He walked in that direction.

"Al, what kind of bug do you say I am?" Shen Hui asked.

[Steady, strong, reliable, the kind of bug that thinks many steps ahead before taking one step.] Ai Er replied, [Shen Hui, you just now were totally unlike yourself.]

Shen Hui raised the corner of his mouth: "Really? Maybe the me just now is the real me."

"I want to be willful for once."
