The newly born insect race cub seemed to be a mischievous imp, already wiggling its little hands restlessly while held in its mother's embrace.
Cesi lowered his head to look at the little cub, feeling a bit puzzled as to why this cub was so active. He remembered that Luo Qi had been very well-behaved when he was just born.
Bosya's smile had not faded since he first saw Liya. He walked happily to Liya's side, not even glancing at the little cub, and immediately hugged Liya tightly.
"Liya, are you alright?"
Liya carefully prevented Bosya from touching the cub in her arms, shaking her head with a smile, "I'm fine, look at her."
Bosya then lowered his head to look at this hard-won cub, and her eyes were indeed looking at him.
"She's a beautiful little girl, just like you."
Bosya gently reached out to touch the little cub's cheek. The sensation was softer than the softest cloud he had ever felt, and sweeter than the most delicious pastry he had ever tasted.
Cesi watched the two overjoyed, almost foolish-looking new parents and cleared his throat, saying, "Let's go outside first."
Reid, standing behind him, also smiled and said, "The nursery is ready, and the doctors are all waiting outside."
Liya then came to her senses, quickly carrying the cub out to hand it over to the doctors. In the insect race, the birth of a cub was not the final victory; the most important thing was whether the little cub could grow up.
Liya and Bosya walked ahead, taking the newborn cub outside to the doctors.
However, the little cub, being mischievous, wanted to emerge from its mother's arms, reaching out its little hands towards Cesi.
The little cub made "awoo awoo" sounds, causing everyone around to smile. Only Cesi noticed that she seemed to be looking for him? Or perhaps... for Luo Qi in his arms?
Cesi touched Luo Qi's little face. His temperature was normal, his complexion was rosy, and his belly rose and fell with his breathing. His mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to be smacking his lips in his sleep, as if dreaming of something.
Cesi smiled helplessly. This little one in his arms always brought him surprises. He wondered what he had done this time?
Cesi adjusted his posture holding the little cub, making him lie more comfortably, and then walked towards the outside.
When they reached the outside, Liya had already handed her cub to the doctors for a basic examination.
Everyone's slightly relaxed hearts tensed up again. It was only when the doctor smiled and nodded, confirming that the cub was indeed very healthy, that they finally felt relieved.
Cesi then placed Luo Qi on the sofa for the doctor to examine, confirming that Luo Qi was only asleep due to exhaustion.
Ye Mu quietly walked to the side of the sofa, squeezed Luo Qi's soft hand, and sat beside him, waiting for him to wake up.
After the little cub was taken to the nursery by the doctors and nurses, and Luo Qi was sent back to the bedroom, Liya was helped by Bosya, and they all sat down together.
Cesi leaned back on the sofa, his fingers twitched, and he asked Liya, "What exactly happened just now?"
His gaze was fixed on Liya, carrying a sharpness that could see through people's hearts.
Liya also looked directly at Cesi and said after a moment's thought, "Your Majesty, this subordinate does not know."
Cesi frowned slightly.
"I could feel that if it weren't for the little prince at that moment, I might have died along with the unborn cub."
Bosya instinctively tightened his grip on Liya's hand, and Liya patted it reassuringly.
"When the little prince first came in, he kept comforting me. But later, Mother Tree enveloped us together. I don't know if the little prince did something, but I only remember that I seemed to have fallen asleep. When I woke up, the cub had already been born."
Cesi's eyes deepened, "You don't know either?"
Liya nodded, "Yes, this subordinate only felt that the cub, which had been very restless, suddenly became quiet."
Bosya paused and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, about the scale powder on the little prince's wings..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Cesi knew what he wanted to say. It was indeed a very strange thing. With the current technological level of the insect race, they had never been able to fully decipher the function of those beautiful scale powders.
If 111 in Luo Qi's head knew what Cesi was thinking, it would have scoffed dismissively, "Young insect, there are many things you don't know."
Above technology lies magic, and beyond magic lies witchcraft. Moreover, their main system was the most mysterious and powerful thing in this world. In this plane, only that Mother Tree, which had lived for an unknown number of years, could perceive a little of it.
What was Luo Qi? A cyber butterfly! Could ordinary people understand that?
Cesi nodded and no longer dwelled on the matter. 111 was right. Even if there were things Cesi couldn't explain, he would only think that Luo Qi was a treasure bestowed by heaven. It was enough that he was the treasure of their entire insect race.
His expression softened again, "It's alright, we can ask Luo Luo when he wakes up."
Liya nodded, exchanged a glance with Bosya, and said, "Your Majesty."
The two of them stood up from the sofa, placed their left hands on their right shoulders, and bowed slightly, "We implore you to bestow a name upon the newborn cub."
Cesi stood up and gently shook his head, "No, this matter should be done by you."
He blinked his eyes slightly and said somewhat teasingly, "Alright, I should go find my baby now."
With that, he turned and walked towards Luo Qi's bedroom, leaving Liya and Bosya to exchange glances and then burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty has changed a lot because of the little prince."
"All young cubs make people change involuntarily, don't they?"
"Yes, so what should our little cub be called?"
"Of course, it should be you, the father, who names him..."
Luo Qi had a very, very long dream. The dream was complex and varied, as if it were about his past life, or perhaps also about this life. It seemed like a couple, with tears in their eyes, had placed him at the doorstep of an orphanage, giving all the money they had to the orphanage director. But why did they have to leave? Luo Qi didn't know, and he didn't want to know, because at the orphanage, just filling his stomach was already difficult. But then one day, a big figure arrived at the orphanage in a low-key yet luxurious hovercar. He had eyes like blue sapphires and took an instant liking to Luo Qi. His embrace was slightly cool, but Luo Qi felt very warm. His smile was small, but his eyes told Luo Qi that he was very happy now. He held Luo Qi and said with a light laugh, "Luo Luo, I'm Daddy. Follow Daddy, and you'll have endless small cakes to eat from now on!"
