As a male insect, I am cooking food live

Hint: The timeline is three years later. At this time, Shen Hui has been exposed and has not yet become the Insect King.

In the early morning, Shen Hui was awakened by his biological clock. He turned around and saw Taber's sleeping face.

[Host, good morning.] The 1111 system suddenly came online. [Today is the New Year's Day you mentioned. According to your request, the system specially reminds you.]

Shen Hui nodded quietly to show that he understood. He got out of bed silently and kissed Taber on the cheek. Taber had been working hard for many days dealing with the war. If Shen Hui hadn't insisted on resting last night, Taber would have continued to stay up late.

Shen Hui changed into his regular clothes and walked out of the bedroom. In the corridor, a female soldier was standing guard. When she saw Shen Hui, she greeted him politely.

"Morning, Lord Al, I hope you have a nice day."

Shen Hui smiled in response and walked through the corridor to the living room of the starship. In the living room, the white eagle was fiddling with something with great interest. When it saw Shen Hui coming, it flew in front of Shen Hui.

"Sir Al, the task you assigned to White Eagle was completed perfectly." White Eagle put his hands on his hips proudly, "The master didn't notice anything wrong at all."

Shen Hui and White Eagle high-fived. "As expected of the Empire's strongest mecha." Shen Hui gave a thumbs up, "White Eagle, where did you put your things?"

"Under the sofa."

Shen Hui took out something heavy from under the sofa. He carried it to the kitchen, accompanied by the chirping of the white eagle.

"Sir, will Dupont come with his lord?" White Eagle's eyes rolled around. "Yes, it's the one who looks very similar to you."

"Yes." Shen Hui said, "Because today is the day for the family to reunite."

"Oh, White Eagle doesn't understand." White Eagle said honestly, "White Eagle thought you wanted to give the master a surprise."

In the Zerg world, there are only one or two days of vacation on the Zerg King's birthday, the National Day, and the Celebration Day (especially for male Zergs). There are no winter or summer vacations, and the Zerg have no concept of reunion.

"That's fine," Shen Hui was in a good mood as the new year brought new hope. "We will celebrate this festival every year in the future."

"Wow!" The white eagle flew around Shen Hui excitedly. Finally, Shen Hui came to the starship's kitchen and chose a slightly suitable position.

He opened the bag prepared by Bai Ying and placed all the ingredients on the table. Flour, stuffing... these were all things Shen Hui would need later.

Shen Hui listened patiently to Bai Ying's chatter while preparing the ingredients.

"Al, I'm here." Looking in the direction of the voice, a male insect with a face that was 70% similar to Shen Hui poked its head out.

"Alan, come here." Shen Hui called out. After getting Shen Hui's permission, Al jumped in front of Shen Hui and watched him prepare the ingredients curiously.

"Well, is there anything I can do?" Alan asked.

"Help me knead the dough, I'll go take care of the other ingredients." Shen Hui put the dough that had not been kneaded yet in front of Alan.

Allen pulled up his sleeves and said, "No problem, leave it to me. We are going to give Brother Dubon and General Taber a surprise today."

"Hey, I can't help you with other things. But I can help you." Alan smiled, "But Al, what day is today according to your name?"

"New Year's Day. The first day of the new year is a brand new beginning." Shen Hui said without stopping his hands.

"That's an interesting statement," Alan kneaded the dough vigorously, "Don't you agree, White Eagle?"

"White Eagle agrees!" White Eagle raised his hand. Suddenly, White Eagle calmed down. "Sir Al, the master is coming in this direction."

Shen Hui nodded to show that he understood, "Bai Ying, go find him. Bring him along."

Bai Ying moved quickly and left the kitchen. Only Shen Hui and Allen were left in the kitchen.

"Didn't Dupont come with you?" Shen Hui asked. It was rare not to see the two insects inseparable on the starship.

After Shen Hui accumulated enough points to exchange a body for Al, Al immediately gave himself a new name - Allen. For Allen, Al was a past that he could not bear to look back on. Even the body he once had was the same.

Although Shen Hui didn't know what happened to Dupont and Al afterwards, fortunately the two insects finally communicated with each other. However, the current battle situation was complicated, and Dupont was responsible for another part. Shen Hui rarely met Dupont and Al.

"Yes, he will come over after he finishes his work." Alan knew nothing about this, but he would not cause trouble for Brother Dupont.

Allen lived with Shen Hui for a while and was able to keep up with Shen Hui's pace. When Taber arrived, he saw the two insects living in harmony. The two insects had similar faces but completely different temperaments.

Taber looked at Shen Hui and said calmly, "I came to find you." But Shen Hui could hear a hint of grievance.

"Well, I want you to rest for a while. Since you are here, let's help." Shen Hui smiled, "Taber, I need your help."

Taber walked to Shen Hui's side and silently took over Shen Hui's work. Shen Hui was making dumplings. Taber's hands could accurately control the mecha to cut off the heads of monsters on the battlefield, but he was a little unfamiliar with making dumplings.

Shen Hui saw him and walked behind Taber. He gently held Taber's hand and led Taber. Taber froze. He could feel the breathing behind him. Taber couldn't control his accelerated heartbeat.

When I first saw it, the male insect in front of me was only as tall as my shoulders, but now it is slightly taller than me.

"Don't take too much filling, and then like this..." Shen Hui took Taber and pinched a dumpling.

Allen glanced at the two annoying bugs, turned around and chose to pretend he didn't see them. "Brother Dubon, why didn't you come earlier?" Allen shouted in his heart.

Three insects and one mecha, with superb mobility, quickly prepared the meal. Taber brought the last dish to the table and sat next to Shen Hui.

Taber's eyes never left Shen Hui. Shen Hui looked at Taber and held Taber's hand to comfort him at the dining table.

Taber looked away stiffly, his ears slightly red.

"What are the names of these delicacies?" Alan looked at the two insects and felt like a huge light bulb.

"Dumplings and glutinous rice balls. These are the must-have foods for today."

"What day is today?"

"New Year's Day." Shen Hui said seriously, "On this day, we should spend it with the family. Eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls. Glutinous rice balls mean reunion..."

"It means we will always be together, every New Year's Day from now on. We will spend it together."

"Tubber, you are no longer alone."

His heartbeat was faster than before. Taber looked at the male insect in front of him. He always gave him surprises and changed his world... Fortunately, he still existed.

"Yes. I will protect you." Taber promised seriously.

What should I do? Taber's appearance really made me want to tease him. Considering that Alan was still there, Shen Hui tried his best to be patient.

"General, Lord Al. I am late." DuPont saluted the two insects.

When Allen saw Dupont, he couldn't hide his joy. "Brother Dupont, don't be so serious at this time!"

Alan pulled DuPont to sit next to him and introduced the delicious food in front of him to him.

The originally empty restaurant was instantly filled with the smell of insects. White Eagle opened the viewing mirror, and the vast universe appeared before the insects.

Although there are no sounds of firecrackers, there is a sky full of stars to keep you company.

Shen Hui looked at the insects in front of him. Although the road ahead was unknown, he had already made his choice. As long as he was with them, Shen Hui thought, he would not regret it.

"Hurry, hurry! As Al said, we have to say this together." After Alan finished the last glutinous rice ball in the bowl, he pushed DuPont.

Taber ate the dumplings in the bowl, and the scene before him was something he had never experienced before.

White Eagle also came forward: "White Eagle wants to speak too!"

"Okay, then I say three, two, one, and we'll say it together." Alan made the final decision.

Shen Hui smiled and cooperated. The 1111 system silently recorded the scene in front of it and prepared to report it back to the host.

"three."

"two."

"one."

"Happy New Year." Everyone said in unison.

Be happy every year and have a wonderful day every year.

Shen Hui and Taber looked at each other, each reflecting in their eyes.
