Ye Mu climbed out of bed and kissed Luo Qi's forehead.
Luo Qi's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were red. He was covered tightly by the quilt, with only half of his small face exposed.
After Ye Mu kissed him, Luo Qi struggled slightly, his voice small, "Alright, alright, it's almost dawn, I'm so tired..."
Ye Mu swallowed and got out of bed, grabbing his clothes and heading into the bathroom.
It was already late. Although the curtains were drawn, the room was bright. The light shone on Ye Mu, revealing messy scratches on his back, and upon closer inspection, a tooth mark.
Ye Mu entered the bathroom, quickly tidied himself up, and walked out of the room. His clothes from yesterday were too dirty to wear, so he was now wearing Luo Qi's.
Fortunately, he spent more time in Luo Qi's room than his own, otherwise he might not have found clothes to wear.
However, these clothes were Luo Qi's and a size smaller than his own, so they fit him snugly.
The consequence was that when he went downstairs to prepare some food for Luo Qi in the kitchen, he was met with a cold snort from his father and a resounding "Indecent, shameless."
Ye Mu raised an eyebrow and looked over. Ye Yun and Madam Ye were dressed formally, sitting on the sofa. Cecy, in the main seat, was also staring at him expressionlessly.
Ye Mu turned and walked towards the sofa. After greeting all three of them, he sat next to Madam Ye.
"Mom, what are you guys talking about?"
Ye Yun glanced at Cecy and said to Ye Mu impatiently, "Of course, we're discussing the marriage of you two."
In the interstellar era, it wasn't uncommon for beings of different races to marry, let alone two men.
However, the identities of these two children were extraordinary. The close relationship between the Insect Race and the Human Race would certainly attract the attention of the entire galaxy.
Furthermore, Ye Yun was no exception. Luo Qi was Cecy's only child, so such an important event as marriage naturally required careful planning.
Ye Mu nodded, stood up, and said, "Then you guys talk. I'll go make something for Luo Luo to eat."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched with anger, wishing he could slap the brat. He and his wife had gotten up early to discuss the marriage with their in-laws, but the main character was only interested in being intimate with his future wife.
Shameless!
Madam Ye, however, was very pleased. She had always worried that her son wouldn't cherish Little Luo Luo once he had him, but now it seemed he did. It would be best if he could bring Little Luo Luo into the family soon.
Ye Mu was completely unaware of his father's thoughts. He had been tossing and turning all night, and Luo Luo would likely be hungry soon. He needed to quickly make something to take to him so he could eat before sleeping again.
Ye Mu worked quickly, washing the rice and putting the ingredients into a stew pot, then placing the pot on the stove.
He had already searched the star network countless times. He knew that Luo Luo might not be feeling well the day after that incident, so he needed to make easily digestible food for him.
Cecy sat expressionlessly in the living room. In fact, he had maintained that expression since earlier. Ye Yun pursed his lips, feeling uneasy, as he couldn't tell if Cecy agreed with the matter at all.
Ye Yun smiled, "Your Majesty, about the children's matter..."
Cecy crossed his legs, clasped his hands on his knees, and his voice held obvious confusion, "Hiss... my son, how could he be the bottom one?"
Ye Yun & Madam Ye: "..."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched. It took him a long time to swallow the retort that was already on his lips. Did you have some beautiful misunderstanding about your son?
Cecy truly couldn't understand. He had never been in love, nor had he ever had a real wife or husband. Therefore, he completely failed to grasp the emotional complexities between two men.
But he could clearly see that his son should be the dominant one in their relationship. Wasn't Ye Mu very obedient to Luo Luo?
Cecy was genuinely perplexed. He looked at Ye Yun and asked again, confused, "Why is your son the top one?"
Ye Yun's old face flushed. He couldn't possibly say it was because his son was strong and robust, could he?
He vaguely fumbled, "Uh, perhaps because Xiao Mu pities Luo Luo more."
Cecy blinked, "?"
Ye Yun closed his eyes tightly and said ruthlessly, "I heard the top one gets tired more easily."
Madam Ye: "???" Your son's shamelessness is inherited from you.
Cecy didn't know if he believed it or not. He glanced towards the kitchen and said, "So the one who gets tired first gets up to make breakfast for the other?"
Ye Yun was numb. He had come this morning to discuss the marriage of the two children with Cecy, which might involve titles, residences, and the announcement of this news to the galaxy, among other issues.
However, he had never imagined that he and Cecy would be sitting here, discussing who was on top and who was more exhausted, in front of his wife.
Silence reigned in the royal palace tonight.
After a while, Ye Mu came out of the kitchen with a small stew pot. He stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the three people who had said nothing, then turned and went upstairs.
Ye Yun: "..." Little brat.
In the end, the wedding of the two children was decided. Ye Mu would "marry" into the Insect Race as the Crown Princess, but on Earth, Luo Qi would be called the Chairman's Wife.
Ye Yun smiled with satisfaction, feeling refreshed at the thought of marrying off his scoundrel son, especially if he could wear a princess consort's gown, which was a skirt.
Little rascal, you annoy me every day, so I'll annoy you back once.
Cecy was quite surprised that Ye Yun had agreed so readily. After all, he understood that people from Earth were very traditional, and it was rare for parents to let their sons marry someone else.
Ye Mu placed the small stew pot on the table and used a small bowl to scoop out a bowl of porridge.
The porridge contained minced meat and vegetables, cooked until soft. The aroma wafted out as soon as the lid was opened.
Ye Mu reached out and gently shook Luo Qi, helping the half-asleep little bug cub to sit up.
The quilt slipped, revealing faint marks on Luo Qi's body. Ye Mu's heart stirred again upon seeing them, and he quickly averted his gaze, coaxing softly,
"Luo Luo, get up and eat something before you sleep again, okay?"
Luo Qi frowned and kept dodging, mumbling that he was too sleepy. This made Ye Mu unconsciously curl his lips.
But he couldn't skip eating. He had Luo Qi lean against the headboard and then, holding a spoon, blew on the porridge and offered it to Luo Qi, "Close your eyes, and I'll feed you, alright?"
After a long pause, Luo Qi hummed in agreement.
Ye Mu put the porridge into Luo Qi's mouth and then, with a roll of his eyes, said, "Will you marry me?"
Luo Qi swallowed the porridge and hummed in agreement again.
"Shall we do it again tonight?"
Luo Qi hummed... but couldn't finish the hum. He opened his eyes.
