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

Chapter 7 I will be responsible

What Ling Yi received was not the male insect's angry rebuke and scolding, nor was he threatened with the male insect association to do something.

Instead, they asked very politely, which surprised Ling Yi, who looked up in astonishment.

Of course, even if Qi Min really threatened him, he wouldn't be afraid; at most, he would find it troublesome and annoying.

So Ling Yi felt very puzzled, wondering why this male insect was different from the ones he had encountered before.

Compared to those male insects from before who were irritable, self-righteous, arrogant, and always acted like they were the best in the world and that everyone had to listen to them.

The male insect in front of me seems to have a rather... polite temperament.

'Having met the Insect God, I can't believe I actually found a male insect to be quite polite?' Ling Yi's feelings were complicated.

"Is it not okay?" Qi Min asked Ling Yi again in a muffled voice, his expression serious.

He genuinely wanted to get his contact information and become friends with the person in front of him. When he saw his photos and information before, Qi Min was actually attracted to his looks.

I thought he was both handsome and capable; I wished I could get to know him.

'And now, by sheer coincidence, he's stumbled upon this opportunity. Who could resist giving it a try? I'm sure Qi Min himself couldn't resist.'

He had barely escaped the dungeon and was overjoyed to be alive when he found himself in a completely unfamiliar new world.

'It's impossible for me to say I wasn't a little bit nervous. Even though Qi Min quickly recovered, he was still quite uncomfortable with the sudden enthusiasm from those around him.'

He had only ever felt this kind of sudden enthusiasm when running dungeons, when those monsters were trying to kill him.

'Since I awoke from this world, only this person in front of me hasn't looked at me with such bright, enthusiastic eyes like everyone else.'

Although his expression was calm, and his tone of voice was polite and respectful, his expression remained unchanged.

But Qi Min could tell that the way he looked at him several times genuinely carried a hint of disdain and annoyance, as if he were some kind of trouble.

'No, perhaps he wasn't addressing me directly, but rather because I'm categorized as a male insect here.'

The people around them were also looking at the male insect with confusion, but when they heard the male insect ask again, their eyes were a little stunned. Following the male insect's gaze, they all looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi ignored the gazes directed at him from the side, instead focusing intently on Qi Min's eyes as he answered and observed Qi Min's expression.

"If you want to punish me, you can do it now, there's no need to wait until later. I won't resist; it's your right."

"Punishment? I just wanted your contact information, why should I punish you? Besides, you saved me." Qi Min tilted his head slightly, asking Ling Yi in confusion.

"I hurt you, and you don't intend to punish me, so why do you still want my contact information?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

"I just want to get to know you, and hopefully we can become friends," Qi Min said with a smile.

What was originally a rather classy statement sounded somewhat... comical because of Qi Min's muffled voice.

Ling Yi felt no amusement; instead, he found the male insect rather...strange.

“If we’re just friends, of course, that would be my honor, but…” Ling Yi’s expression remained ambiguous as he left his sentence unfinished.

"But what?" Qi Min thought Ling Yi's voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to say that you were injured because of my improper rescue."

Thank you for not holding it against me. This small request is only right. I am still on duty and please forgive me for not being able to accompany you to the follow-up examination.

If you have any questions after the check-up, please feel free to contact me. I will take full responsibility.

After exchanging contact information with him, Ling Yi turned and left decisively.

Seeing that he said that, Qi Min did not say anything more.

From the crowd that had been watching, a person who seemed to be the leader finally stepped forward.

They very politely and warmly invited Qi Min into the car, saying they would take him to the hospital for a comprehensive test.

At Fanchang Hospital, less than two days after being discharged, Qi Min sat calmly in front of Zhang Yu, the attending physician he had said 'goodbye' to just yesterday.

Zhang Yu looked at Qi Min, who was sitting in front of him. Qi Min had been discharged from the hospital less than two days ago. His nose was red and swollen, and there were still traces of blood on his face that had not been completely wiped away, as well as bloodstains on his clothes.

Zhang Yu really liked this male insect. He frowned with heartache and carefully removed the cotton ball that was stuffed in its nasal cavity.

After a careful examination, they took out professional instruments for treating and healing wounds.

“Male Insect, may I ask what happened to you? I can help you contact the Male Insect Association!” Zhang Yu said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Yes, no need to contact him. I was just taken hostage by a thug at the mall, but he was caught quickly and is fine now."

Qi Min spoke casually, as if it were just a small matter.

"What? That's terrifying! How do the security forces manage things? How could such a dangerous incident happen!"

Those useless bastards not only failed to protect you, they even injured you! I'll call the Male Insect Association right away.

Such acts must be severely punished to teach them a lesson.

In contrast to Qi Min's relaxed demeanor, Zhang Yu appeared quite excited.

"Don't call. I told you I'm fine, it's all taken care of. I know you mean well, but it's really not necessary. Now that the examination is finished, I'll be leaving. Thank you for your help, Dr. Zhang."

As Qi Min spoke, his tone became less gentle and even a bit forceful, which inexplicably annoyed him.

A sudden surge of irritation made Qi Min abandon all pretense of politeness. After speaking, he walked past the stunned Zhang Yu and left the hospital.

Despite the impressive speed of the hovercar, the sun was still slowly sinking, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently bathed the sky in golden-red hues.

Under the setting sun, Qi Min's shadow stretched long, carrying him as he walked into his residence here.

In the bathroom, hot water trickled down from Qi Min's head to his skin, finally flowing down his ankles, washing away the dirt and the inexplicable irritation that had risen within him.

After taking a bath, Qi Min was wearing only a bathrobe, holding a glass of ice water in one hand, and sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony.

Quietly watching the scenery outside gradually become hazy, I don't know what I'm thinking, or perhaps I'm thinking of nothing at all...

I don't know how long I sat there, but the water in the cup had long since cooled to room temperature, and the pale blue had gradually been replaced by a deep black.

The sky gradually darkened, changing from blue to deep black, and the stars were scattered across the night sky like shattered silver.
