The Dormitory’s Unlucky Soul Transmigrates into the Zerg World - Chapter 14

“My god, Yi Xuan, did you sneak out to the wild star to kill exotic beasts in the middle of the night?”

The next afternoon, as soon as the video call from Mo Er connected, he saw Yi Xuan on the other side of the screen looking at him with massive dark circles under his eyes. Mo Er felt completely bewildered.

“Ha. No, I stayed up late last night.” Yi Xuan, sporting those giant dark circles, could not help but yawn the moment he opened his mouth.

“? How late do you have to stay up for it to be now?”

Mo Er paused to check the time before continuing, “It is already 3:00 PM, and you still have not slept enough?”

“Even though technology is advanced now and the probability of dying from staying up late has dropped to one percent, it can still kill a bug. Be careful, or you will become that one percent. I do not want my dear best friend to die young.”

“Go, go, go. Do not curse me. I am in perfectly good health!” Yi Xuan waved his hand, looking at him with disdain.

“Whose brother are you? I am older than you, all right?” Mo Er pouted.

“If I have never seen your ID, how would I know you are older than me?” Yi Xuan leaned back, speaking leisurely.

“? What is there to see? Is this not a fact? You have not even passed the sub-adult stage…” Mo Er suddenly realized what he said. He glanced at Yi Xuan, who could barely suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his face flushed red.

“No, why are you like this?”

Mo Er turned his face to the side and raised his hand to rub his slightly flushed cheeks.

“Just kidding, just kidding. I will stop teasing you.” Yi Xuan’s eyes curved, harboring a bit of mischievous joy from teasing a child.

“Tch. By the way, that bug yesterday did not give you any trouble, did he?” Mo Er suddenly asked.

“Who? Mislert?”

“Yes, him. As soon as I saw him, I felt he was not a good bug. You are still young, so be careful. Do not be deceived by that green tea bug,” Mo Er said with certainty.

“Huh? Hahahahaha, green tea bug?” Yi Xuan could not help but burst into laughter upon hearing this nickname.

“How is he a green tea bug?”

“Can you not tell?” Mo Er looked astonished.

“Yo. Last night he was even saying: My spaceship broke down on the way here. I cannot go back. Can I hitch a ride? Master. Ugh, he has no shame. For that auction house, you can call a private spaceship just by walking two steps outside. He could not go back?”

“I think that scheming bug was just trying to hook a naive, underage bug like you.”

Watching Mo Er vividly mimic the expression and demeanor Mislert had used the night before, Yi Xuan’s laughter, which was about to die down, grew even louder.

“Hahaha, stop imitating him. Badmouthing bugs behind their backs is not very gentlemanly.”

“Why should I be a gentleman? I am not like those pretenders who play around more wildly than anyone in private but pretend to be gentlemen, acting gentle and elegant in public, keeping a dignified posture just so those Ci Jun will fawn over them on the screen.”

“A few days ago, that bug named, what was it? Was he not called the Ci Jun’s most wanted male bug to marry?”

“Guess what? In private, that guy is someone who likes to lock bugs in basements. Last time, I even saw his Ci Jun being sent to the emergency room in the middle of the night. He was tortured into it.”

It was clear that Mo Er felt a deep-seated hatred for such bugs.

But Yi Xuan seemed to have spotted a blind spot: “So, why were you at the hospital in the middle of the night?”

“I remember you have not been sick lately.”

Mo Er: [Feeling guilty.jpg]

“Wow, I slipped up.”

“Uh. This, this was a long time ago. I do not remember when it was. Anyway, that is just how it is.” Mo Er’s eyes began to drift, looking left and right, just not daring to look at Yi Xuan.

“But I remember that the list of ‘Ci Jun’s most wanted male bug’ was only recently voted on.” Yi Xuan continued to press him.

Mo Er: [Sweating profusely.jpg]

“Anyway, it was a long time ago. I do not remember.”

“Aiya, aiya, let us not talk about this. Never mind that bug. Answer my previous question. What happened after you went back with that bug yesterday?”

Seeing that Mo Er did not want to talk about that matter, Yi Xuan did not dwell on it. He took a sip of the milk Little Dingdang had brought him and said, “Nothing much. He dropped me at the door last night, came in, said two things, and left.”

“Eh, right, did he say last night he wanted to discuss what you two talked about this morning? What did you two talk about yesterday morning?”

Mo Er looked full of gossip, even sitting up straight.

“Why are you so nosy?” Seeing him like this, Yi Xuan gave him his usual tease.

“Aiya, just tell me. I remember you said you had never met before, right? Yesterday morning was the first time you met, so how come he seemed so familiar with you last night? Have you chatted on the terminal before?” Mo Er still had that expression of wanting to eat melon.

“We never chatted, and we are not very familiar.”

“We did not talk about much last night, just daily greetings.”

“After all, he is my future Ci Jun.”

When he said this, Yi Xuan’s expression did not change in the slightest, as if he was not the one who had tossed and turned all night because of this.

“Really?”

“Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?” Mo Er looked disbelieving.

“Really. Why would I lie to you? Who are we to each other? I might lie to other bugs, but I would never lie to you,” Yi Xuan said sincerely.

“Give me a break. It sounds like you were not the one who tricked me last time, saying you wanted to buy me a silver gold stone as a surprise, but then threw a silver light stone at me when we met and told me to take it and play with it.”

Clearly, in Mo Er’s eyes, Yi Xuan had no credibility at all.

“No, no, when you were chatting with me yesterday, were you not still very normal toward that Ci Jun? Quite cold, actually. How come you are calling him Ci Jun today? Did that bug drug you with a love potion halfway through last night? Are you obsessed with him after just one night?” Mo Er frowned, looking at Yi Xuan’s face on the screen, worried. “Did he say not to tell me about this? Then he is trying to sow discord between us.”

“Imagination, do not run so wild. That is not the case.” Yi Xuan covered his face, speechless.

Just as the two bugs were chatting happily, Little Dingdang knocked on the door and entered.

“Master, a bug is here to see you downstairs. It is Lieutenant General Nois.”

“Okay, you go down first. I will be down in a moment.” Yi Xuan finished saying this to Little Dingdang, then turned to Mo Er, told him they would talk later, and hung up the communication.

It was a little past 3:00 PM. Ever since Nois married Xide, he had transferred from the front lines to the rear. Logically, it was not yet time for the military to get off work.

Yi Xuan had not planned to go out today, so he had not changed his clothes when he got up. He thought about it; after all, the bug downstairs was his Ci Father, so he did not bother to tidy up. He went downstairs wearing his cat pajamas, hood on.

“Ci Father, morning.”

After going downstairs, Yi Xuan sat directly in his exclusive lazy sofa and greeted Nois, who was sitting upright on the sofa.

On the other side, Nois had been watching him quietly ever since he went downstairs. However, after Yi Xuan buried himself in the sofa, his gaze unintentionally fell on his little cat ears.

After Yi Xuan spoke, he hurriedly averted his gaze, pretending nothing had happened and maintaining his serious demeanor, though his hands, hidden in a corner where no one would notice, were trembling slightly.

“Morning,” Nois replied earnestly.

Even though he had heard this address yesterday, hearing it again today still made him happy.

“Last night’s incident has been cleared up.”

“I am sorry for the scare. It was my negligence.”

“Those bugs have been arrested, and the verdict will be delivered in a few days.” Nois spoke with his usual serious and solemn demeanor.

“Okay, Ci Father, is that the only reason you came over today?” Yi Xuan was still curled up in the sofa. He had been forced to wake up by Mo Er’s phone call, and now that it was suddenly quiet, he started to get sleepy, his eyes barely able to stay open.

“Mm. Master heard about what happened to you yesterday and told me to tell you to be careful. He also asked if you want a few Ci Jun guards, or if there is any bug you find acceptable that you could marry as a Ci Shi.”

“No need, I want neither. I am quite safe here. Yesterday was an accident. Many thanks to Xiong Father and Ci Father for the concern.”

Saying this, Yi Xuan finally could not help himself, covering his mouth with one hand to let out a quiet yawn.

Although he turned his head and the yawn was very short, Nois, who had been focused on him, noticed it. He paused for a moment and added, “Your Highness, tomorrow is the adult ceremony for the little male bug of the Trivalcan family. I wonder if you are interested in going to see it?”

“Mm, sure.” Yi Xuan nodded, half-closing his eyes.

“Okay. I will have a bug send you a formal dress later. This is the invitation.”

Nois placed the items he had prepared on the coffee table and continued, “If there is nothing else, I will go back first.”

“Good.”

“Your Highness, have a good rest.”

Nois stood up and gave one last instruction before leaving.

Only after watching the bug leave did Yi Xuan feel completely at ease. He closed his eyes, grabbed a thin blanket to cover himself, and fell asleep immediately.

Forget about those messy, complicated things. Sleeping is the most important thing right now!
