Chapter 130: Clearly, We Were First…

"Eh… is that not allowed…?"

Little Liquor looked a bit downcast, her ant head slightly drooping.

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she lifted her head and pointed behind her.

"What about Weak Sound?"

Following the direction of Little Liquor’s front leg, a Weak Ant was seen hiding behind the restaurant’s large door, stealthily peeking over.

The moment their eyes met, the ant quickly retracted its head.

Both were spying from a distance, but unlike Lvzi, Weak Sound’s gaze seemed somewhat… purer? Moreover, the hasty motion of pulling her head back was rather endearing.

Oh my, there must be something amiss in my head to find an ant cute.

But it does feel cute, and if it were to turn into a person, it would undoubtedly be even more adorable.

But no means no.

The next candidate for transformation is Army Lady, as already agreed with Red Pupil.

"Weak Sound is the same."

Lin Yu instinctively reached out to comfort Little Liquor, but since she wasn’t very familiar with them yet, she felt a twinge of regret and considered withdrawing her hand.

Just as she was about to pull back, Little Liquor leaned in, pressing her head against the girl’s hand.

It felt somewhat overly familiar.

If it were a boy, it would be bothersome, but with a friendly girl, it’s a different story.

Lin Yu gently patted her little head.

"Well then, it’s time to rest. You can find any empty room to sleep in; if you wish to sleep with your sister, that’s fine too."

There are many vacant rooms in the castle. When Team Ant is on patrol, the resting group of ants can choose any nearby room to sleep in, just like the cleaning Worker Ants.

The Stealth Ants also take turns resting. They usually sleep in a room near Lin Yu’s bedroom, and at night, there are always two Stealth Ants guarding Lin Yu’s room. Thanks to their "Stealth" skill, which reduces their presence, Lin Yu doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

Then there’s Little Tear. Sometimes she sleeps in Lin Yu’s bedroom, and other times she dozes off right after eating in the food storage area on the first floor.

As for Lvzi, to prevent sleepless nights caused by her, Lin Yu lets her troublesome daughter "fall asleep" first, just as she did before in the kitchen, and then randomly places her in a room.

Army Lady is often away from the castle, so she doesn’t have a fixed room.

When Red Pupil returns to the castle, she usually sleeps in Lin Yu’s bedroom, and when she transforms into human form, they share the same bed.

…

When will Little Pupil come back?

Ah, I don’t miss her! I’m just a little concerned about her!

After all, sleeping in an ant nest as a human must be uncomfortable.

After letting Little Liquor and Weak Sound go to bed, Lin Yu walked up the stairs by herself.

However, there was still a "pitter-patter" sound following her.

"Is something wrong?"

"I want to sleep with Mommy."

"Well… okay…"

You can, but even though my room is big, the bed is small! You’ll have to sleep on the floor!

After Lin Yu agreed, Little Liquor moved a bit closer, and there was also a little tail following behind them.

However, upon returning to the bedroom, Lin Yu realized…

The bed seemed big enough for both of them to lie down together…

Since they are the Weak Ant and Worker Ant, and their size is much smaller than other ant species, it would be fine for them to sleep on the bed together, and it wouldn’t feel too crowded.

But… I still feel a bit nervous.

I might not be able to sleep tonight.

Also, letting a stranger I just met onto my bed, well, I’m not someone who does that easily.

Ha ha ha~~

I’m a little tired; it took quite a while to prepare the meals tonight, so it must already be past eight after dinner.

I am still growing, and Class A can still improve, so I need to maintain good sleep quality.

Plus, I always feel a bit sleepy after laying eggs for a while.

Lin Yu sat on the bed in her clothes and used her skill "Clean" on her feet. Just as she was about to lie down to sleep—

"Mom, I’m here too! I want to sleep on the bed!"

Sure enough, it was like that…

So, she first picked her up with both hands, used her "Clean" skill to tidy her up, and then placed her on the bed.

Little Liquor seemed very happy, wrapping her six limbs around the girl, and the sudden move made the girl freeze for a moment.

Perhaps Little Liquor’s action startled it, as the shadow in the corner of the room also stirred slightly.

"Time to sleep."

After calming down, Lin Yu gently patted Little Liquor’s front legs.

"Oh."

Little Worker Ant reluctantly released her six limbs.

After she found a comfortable position lying down on the other side of the bed, Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked towards the bedroom door.

Through the effect of "Unique Skill – Queen Ant," she knew there was an ant lingering outside the bedroom door.

It wasn’t Lvzi; Lvzi had already fainted in the kitchen before and had not woken up yet.

She walked over and opened the door.

"Ah!"

The little ant, seemingly caught by surprise, made a cute sound and hurriedly looked around, as if searching for a hiding place.

Seeing that the other was more nervous than herself made Lin Yu feel less anxious.

She grabbed the back leg of Weak Sound, which was trying to escape.

"Ying! Mom… Mom…"

After letting out an adorable little scream, the tiny ant lowered her head and timidly called out for her mother.

She didn’t dare to look up.

"Come in."

Lin Yu released her hind legs.

"I…"

She seemed somewhat bashful, her eyes darting toward the bedroom, yet she couldn’t bring herself to take a step forward.

Even Lin Yu felt anxious for her.

So she reached out once more, using both hands to lift her up.

After applying "Clean," the girl cradled Weak Sound in one arm and closed the door with the other.

After placing her beside Little Liquor, Lin Yu lay down as well and soon drifted into a deep slumber.

Once the three ants on the bed were sound asleep, the shadow in the corner twisted and morphed, transforming into four gray ants.

"Stealth Three, have you ever been close to Mom?"

"No, what about you?"

"I haven’t either. What about you two?"

"No…"

"Me neither…"

Stealth Two and Stealth Four shook their heads.

"Only Sister Stealth One has been close to Mom."

"How wonderful! I wish I could be held by Mom like Sister Stealth One."

"Let’s not talk about Sister Stealth One; she was born around the same time as us."

Stealth Ten gazed at the two little ants on the bed.

"They were just born today, and yet they not only got to be held by Mom but also sleep on the same bed as her."

"We haven’t even been held by Mom yet…"

"It was clearly our turn first…"

As Stealth Ten, Stealth Two, and Stealth Four watched with envious eyes, Stealth Three suddenly murmured:

"Mom is already asleep, and Sister Stealth One must be too. If we stay quiet and don’t wake Mom…"
