After marriage, everything seemed to be different, yet the same.

Lucas and Luo Ran continued to work and live the same life as before. Lucas spent most of his time at military headquarters, and Luo Ran worked at the desk, cooperating tacitly.

“I’m leaving.”

Just before he left, Lucas would pull Luo Ran over and press a kiss to his face.

The two were practically stuck together, and Lucas seemed to be doing it on purpose, wanting to paste his pheromones all over Luo Ran.

Although after the lifetime mark, even if he didn’t do this, Luo Ran’s still had the scent of white tea mixed with tobacco on his body, and he didn’t use pheromone spray to cover it up, so everyone could smell it.

Especially Rong Duo. She was shown this every day, and wanted to get married.

From covering her mouth and crying at the beginning up to now, her shock had not abated, and seeing the two of them kiss made her numb.

She had successfully risen to a higher level after being sprinkled with CP powder.

Becoming a mother at a young age.

After kissing his husband of less than a year goodbye, Luo Ran sat with his back propped up and continued to go over official documents.

Luo Ran’s stomach had grown slightly, and perhaps it was because he was thin, but it was not too big at six months along.

Rong Duo looked at Luo Ran, who was working hard with a big belly, and thought to herself, it was really hard to imagine that there were twins at this size.

Yes.

Luo Ran and Lucas had done a test, and they were male twins. Although their second genders could not be determined, the machine had detected their pheromones and spiritual power, so they would be Alphas or Omegas.

Moreover, after they got tested, they also agreed to let the hospital announce the good news. Thus, the people of the Empire rejoiced and celebrated the New Year again that day.

And as everyone expected, the combination of Lucas and Luo Ran brought about excellent and perfect heirs to the Empire.

When the pheromones were detected, the machine’s scale nearly cracked. After all, it wasn’t built for such a high upper limit. How could babies be so aggressive?

But the two babies were 3S, even if still in the womb.

It was about the same as when Lucas was born, but more dramatic, especially with two of them.

The entire Empire was with Lucas and Luo Ran, anticipating and hoping.

Luo Ran finished writing a document, clicked his tongue, and took out his terminal to send a message to Lucas.

Luo Ran: “Are you there?”

Lucas: …..

Lucas always responded in seconds, which Luo Ran always felt was miraculous.

Luo Ran: “I want to eat yogurt.”

Lucas: “En.”

Luo Ran: “From the yogurt store across from military headquarters. Thank you, ah ^ v ^”

Lucas: “En.”

After Luo Ran got pregnant, he had all kinds of strange eating habits. Most of it was sour food, so Lucas often ran errands. This was often captured by netizens, who uploaded the photos, inadvertently making soft advertisements for many businesses.

— The Secretary said this fruit yogurt was good after eating it!

—The Secretary likes to eat this dried fruit and nut snack while pregnant! After eating it, you can give birth to 3S babies just like the Secretary! Two in one year! Three in three years!

— The Marshal bought the Secretary these snack buns before dawn!

There was even a “Marshal’s errand bot” checker.

— The Imperial Marshal stirs up trouble, but he is just an affectionate errand dog.

After getting married, although Luo Ran’s work ability and external dedication had not diminished at all, Lucas had become more clingy and spoiled, perhaps because of the pregnancy. He had gradually gotten used to their status as partners, and was not discontent even when being ordered around.

Lucas returned in the evening.

In his hands were two cups of yogurt, two small cake boxes, and a bag of grilled meat.

Lucas was initially a person who only ate white rice, which mostly had to do with being on the battlefield, and then after he experienced defeat in the ravine before, he really couldn’t eat anything.

But these days, it was the comforts of daily life with Luo Ran that dominated Lucas’s world more than the battlefield.

After work, the two ate at the newly-bought heated table next to the desk.

Now that it was almost winter, the two sat on the floor and buried their legs under the quilt, where they could still touch each other’s feet.

Luo Ran took a bite of grilled meat and asked: “The Marshal went to train today?”

“Right.”

“Thanks for your hard work.” Luo Ran smiled and said: “Now that the war is over, the Marshal is training more diligently.”

“Of course.” Lucas ate some meat and said: “Without high-intensity training, my subordinates will relax, and this cannot be allowed. If there is a war after the soldiers turn into wastes, the Empire won’t be able to handle it. With the surrounding countries, planets, and other galaxies, peace may not last forever.”

Luo Ran refilled Lucas’s bowl, nodding approvingly.

After the two finished eating, they snuggled up in bed, each reading their own official documents.

Luo Ran nodded off while reading, and fell into a deep sleep with his head resting on Lucas’s shoulder.

He had also become more lethargic.

Lucas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out to turn off the lamp, kissed Luo Ran gently on the forehead, and then lay down with the man in his arms.

. . . . . . . .

Late at night.

Lucas was awakened by Luo Ran’s movements.

He opened his eyes to see Luo Ran sitting up, his eyes distant.

Lucas was a little anxious: “Is it leg cramps again? Where is it uncomfortable?”

“It’s not.”

“Do you have to throw up again?”

“No.”

“ ? ”

Luo Ran whispered: “I want to eat ice cream.”

What?

Lucas frowned and said: “Don’t make trouble, go to sleep.”

Luo Ran shut his mouth and didn’t speak.

Lucas: “…….”

Lucas scratched the back of his head and said: “You can’t really want to eat.”

Luo Ran paused, then said: “No.”

“Then sleep. What kind of ice cream do you want to eat in the middle of the night, it’s not good for your health.” Lucas rubbed the back of Luo Ran’s head and said: “Behave.”

Lucas lay back down again.

Then he saw Luo Ran take out his terminal and click on the takeaway service.

Lucas: “……”

Lucas said helplessly: “Silly Ranran, it’s already past three o’clock in the morning. There are only two or three food delivery services still operating, and they only deliver staple foods.”

When the military department stayed up all night for drills before, most of them worked at midnight, and there was naturally no ice cream.

So Luo Ran subconsciously changed the image.

Luo Ran just sat on the corner of the bed, looking at the images silently, planning to console himself by looking at them.

Lucas: “…….”

Lucas was helpless. Knowing that pregnancy was quite a lot, he had to get up and grab his jacket, resigned to his fate.

“Lucas…..!” It was late, after all, and Luo Ran felt a little embarrassed.

“You don’t want me to buy it?” Lucas buttoned up and raised his eyebrows, saying: “If you don’t want to eat, just go to sleep.”

Now that the stores were closed, Lucas planned to go to a vending machine to buy it.

“……” Luo Ran wanted to eat, but felt that this wasn’t good, so he was a little entangled.

“Okay, don’t be like that. If you want to eat, just say so. I’m used to going to the military department in the middle of the night, so it’s not a big deal.” Lucas stepped forward and rubbed the top of Luo Ran’s hair. He took the jacket full of pheromones that he had worn during the day and put it on Luo Ran, saying: “Wait for me to come back.”

“Okay.”

Luo Ran paused, then pressed a kiss to Lucas’s cheek.

“Thank you.”

Lucas froze for a beat.

So happy.

“Then I’ll go.”

The next day, a photo of Lucas going out to buy ice cream at three a.m. was posted again.

XXXX: I’m a security guard in my neighborhood. In the middle of the night, I saw a figure from the back moving in a hurry, and I thought it was a hooligan, so I followed him! I found the other party messing around in front of the vending machine and thought he was trying to steal money from it! But I didn’t expect! To see that it was clearly our Marshal!! As a little security guard, I was lucky enough to help our Marshal use the vending machine to buy ice cream! Oh, what a blessing!

XXXX: Oh my god, this is so pampering! I’m already so detached from worldliness that I don’t even sort out the candies anymore. Every day, I just get up and wait for the candy to be put in my mouth. I just open my mouth and eat it!

It was pitch black all around in the photo, and Lucas’s solitary figure stretched in the darkness of night.

And he was standing in front of the vending machine, thinking about how to use it, his restless hands touching the buttons one by one as if opening a new type of mecha.

Just…..miserable.

XXXX: Hahahaha this photo is too miserable, right? Shocking, the Marshal of the Empire has a tense look on his face and hasn’t returned home at night. Is this the fall of society or the destruction of humanity?

XXXX: Hahahaha the Marshal seems to be trying to overcome a tribulation!

Lucas really did look like he was going through a tribulation.

But he was enjoying it.

. . . . . . .

When work was less busy, Luo Ran and Lucas also went back to the snowy mountain in Pure City.

Together with the people at the research institute, they put the female insect back in the ground. She said goodbye to Luo Ran, touching his palm with her antennae.

She seemed to be giving him blessings.

Soon after, Luo Ran watched the female insect return to her own place.

Once they had sent her away, the two of them went to the cemetery in Pure City to pay their respects.

Luo Ran didn’t know which of the headstones in the graveyard belonged to his birth parents, but…..they were here, in the end.

Luo Ran didn’t mind. With Lucas’s help, he even cleaned up the entire cemetery and set out flowers.

Perhaps it was due to the blessings of Pure City and the mother insect that Luo Ran was in good health. His pregnancy was not uncomfortable, his appetite was good, and his body was also in good shape.

In this fashion, the day of delivery finally arrived.

The hospital had prepared a few days before, and Luo Ran was sent there the moment his stomach started to hurt, in order to begin preparations for labor.

Luo Cheng, Wang Zitong, and Lucas were all waiting outside, and Lucas was so anxious that he was walking around in circles.

When the babies were born and all three were safe, Lucas rushed in swiftly, but was stopped by Xia Zhi.

It wasn’t until Luo Ran was transferred to the general ward that Lucas was able to enter.

Luo Ran was lying in bed. Although he was exhausted, his complexion wasn’t bad.

“Xia Zhi says they’re two male Alphas with 3S spiritual strength.” Luo Ran said with a smile: “Have you gone to see them?”

“N-No.” Lucas held Luo Ran’s hand, stammering a bit: “Not yet.”

He had just gotten a vague glance at them and saw two wrinkled faces. Before he could dislike how different they were from Luo Ran, Xia Zhi told him that he could come and visit his husband.

Lucas was so anxious for Luo Ran that he couldn’t think about anything else for the moment.

Luo Ran said: “The big one is like you, and the small one is like me.”

Lucas said: “Really? I think they both look like monkeys.”

Luo Ran patted the back of Lucas’s hand with a smile, and teased: “The Marshal’s tribulation is finally over today.”

He had also read the online comments.

Of course, Lucas knew that this time was just an introduction to his tribulation, and the real tribulation would be when the children grew up.

“By the way, the children’s names……” Lucas raised his eyebrows and said: “Can we say them now?”

After learning that they had two children, Luo Ran and Lucas decided that each of them would name one.

It just so happened that the Starnet was also suggesting names, and they used it as a reference.

Luo Ran smiled and said: “I’ve thought it over. One will be named Regulus Alton. Regulus is the brightest and most dazzling star in Leo.”

What Luo Ran didn’t say was that after meeting Lucas, he found that his zodiac sign was also Leo.

Lucas said: “I’ll name one Luo Xicui Aldor.”

The two children could not live without the Aldor surname. After all, the Aldor name represented military power and a military family, so Lucas had to add the surname in front.

Lucas wanted the name to be simple and straightforward. Xi, hope, was the hope of the Empire, and his concern for Luo Ran and his family on the battlefield. Cui, pure, was for Pure City, the place where they first met, and also for their pure hope and feelings.

Luo Ran paused. His ears turned red and he said: “It sounds good.”

Lucas bowed his head and kissed Luo Ran with a smile.

In the future, they would have a new family.
