Even until many years later, Lin Xi would still dream.
In his dream, he was just an ordinary person, his companions didn’t die, they didn’t turn into terrible monsters.
Helios didn’t have a positioning error, it never lost its coordinates in vast space, nor did it have to make a crash landing on that mysterious planet.
However, when he opened his eyes and faced the creatures surrounding him —
— Those compound crimson eyes, that horrifying elytra and that armour… and the thick pheromones lingering in the air —
Lin Xi would wake up once again.
His dreams will always be just dreams.
And his reality is still as cruel as ever.
He is no longer human. He is their Gyne, the Queen of Worms, and the Mother of Insects.
……
At the same time, he is also His only and eternal love.
“You know that you can never be that person, you’re just…”
“I’m just a bug in his skin, my dear, I know what you have to say, but so what? Except for me, you have no other choice in this space.” Xavier smiled and flapped his wings, he tilted his head and said to Lin Xi. “Of course, you can also choose to raise another King Insect… hiss… but even then, you still need to be with me, right?”
