The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 182 Tsk, looks worthless...

Ling Yi couldn't discern the emotion in Qi Min's words. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, but before he could say anything more...

Qi Min reached out his hand, gently lifting Ling Yi's chin with his fingers, making him look into his eyes.

"Ling Yi, what makes you think I'm scared?"

Qi Min looked intently into Ling Yi's eyes, raising an eyebrow with amusement.

This person was acting like a domineering CEO who was forcibly loving her, but in the blink of an eye, the whole demeanor changed.

Qi Min, who also enjoyed stirring up trouble in secret, could easily guess the underlying meaning behind his words.

"Didn't the lord just now... show fear and displeasure because of my words?"

Ling Yi stared blankly at Qi Min, a smile playing on his lips.

"Of course not. On the contrary, I really like the way you care about me. I like it to no end."

Qi Min chuckled softly, a hint of pleasure in his eyes, which puzzled Ling Yi. He had thought...

"Ling Yi, if you had shown me this level of concern earlier..."

Perhaps even if I discovered your plan as well, I wouldn't be so angry.

Between the two of us, I always thought that only I was truly in love.

You were only with me because of the system.

So when I found out about your plan, I was really sad and angry.

When you try to explain to me, I don't believe it's because you care about me that you're explaining to me.

But after hearing what you said, I think you should change your habit of not taking initiative.

Qi Min gently stroked Ling Yi's cheek and softly shared his previous thoughts.

"Ling Yi, you can try doing anything with me. Maybe I can not only cooperate with you, but also help you."

All you need to do for me is one thing: let me feel my place in your heart.

I want to be in your heart, not just in your plans...

Do you understand what I mean? Ling Yi…

Qi Min gazed into Ling Yi's eyes, making no attempt to hide his feelings for him.

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min, who was earnestly telling him, with a flickering light in his eyes, and felt a surge of emotion in his chest.

The thumping sound kept echoing in his mind, disrupting his thoughts and preventing him from thinking clearly.

Just as Ling Yi was thinking about what he should say, Qi Min spoke again, looking at Ling Yi with a more pleasant voice and expression.

"That's it, that's the look in your eyes, I like it when you look at me like that."

That longing and possessive look in his eyes, as if he only has eyes for me, really makes me happy... Haha..."

Qi Min looked into Ling Yi's focused and deep eyes, speaking as if in admiration and fascination.

But before he could finish speaking, Qi Min's hand, which had been gently stroking Ling Yi's cheek, suddenly moved to cover Ling Yi's eyes, blocking the gaze that was stirring his emotions.

"A powerful ruler?"

Ling Yi, whose view was suddenly blocked, couldn't help but call out in confusion. His fingers twitched slightly, but he still didn't raise his hand to pull down Qi Min's hand covering him.

"Wait a minute... let me catch my breath, that look you're giving me is a bit much, haha..."

If it weren't for the location, I'd really like to lock you in the room for another three days and not let you out..."

Qi Min covered Ling Yi's eyes, rested his forehead on the back of his hand, and sighed softly.

He touched the tip of Ling Yi's nose to his nose and felt Ling Yi's slightly disordered breathing.

Ling Yi felt Qi Min's intense aura as he spoke, sometimes close and sometimes far away, as if it was about to engulf him, yet he was restraining himself.

He couldn't help but purse his lips, swallowing as if his throat was dry. The movement of his Adam's apple revealed the turmoil in his heart.

"What the lord said is actually something I've thought about before..."

Just as Qi Min was slowly suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, he heard Ling Yi, who had been quiet all along, suddenly speak in a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean?"

Qi Min released his hand, stepping back from touching Ling Yi, and asked with a hint of doubt,

He didn't quite understand what Ling Yi was saying, and he wasn't sure which question Ling Yi was referring to in his answer.

Ling Yi, whose vision had been restored, looked intently at Qi Min and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

“My lord, at first, I really didn’t care much about you. Even our allocation was something I did on purpose, just to escape the fate of being arbitrarily assigned.”

But as we spent more time together, I gradually found it impossible to ignore the kindness you showed me.

I even started to pay attention to your every move; it was from that time that I slowly began to understand.

I can no longer remove you from my life, because I can't bear to...

That basement room was specially made for you; it shows I don't disregard you.

On the contrary, I feel the same way about you, the same desire you have for me…

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min, who had released him, with a slightly surprised expression. He lowered his eyes to hide the desire that was exposed in them.

"Heh, doesn't that sound pretty unconventional? Me, a female insect, actually wanting to do that kind of thing to you, a male insect..."

Ling Yi gave a slightly self-deprecating smile. Although Qi Min spoke frankly and clearly, Ling Yi was still somewhat uneasy.

His ideas were so outrageous that they were no less than a female insect wanting to have five male insects belonging exclusively to her.

Just as Ling Yi lowered his eyes, feeling uneasy, he heard Qi Min chuckle softly, and he couldn't help but look up in surprise.

Qi Min seemed to have heard something extremely pleasant, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and the corners of his mouth turning up seemed to exude a sweet flavor.

Seeing Ling Yi looking over with surprise and confusion, Qi Min slowly put away the smile on his face, leaned forward slightly, and spoke with a serious expression.

"Can I take what you're saying as a confession of love?"

"Huh...?" (′△｀)?

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min in confusion, not quite understanding why the topic had turned to this. He had just been feeling anxious and was completely unable to react for a moment.

Seeing Ling Yi's slightly stunned expression, Qi Min continued speaking with a smile in his eyes.

“I don’t think your ideas are anything out of the ordinary. On the contrary, it just shows how much you like me, and I understand that I am still very important to you.”

Qi Min grinned again, seemingly quite pleased. (The author's comment: "Still looks a bit worthless..." is slightly sarcastic and disdainful.)

"Moreover, I don't actually have any particularly strong attachment to this."

As you probably guessed, you and I are not from the same world.

In our world, people like you and me are of the same sex; there is no distinction between male and female.
