I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Time passed slowly as I studied day after day, and the one-month return journey soon came to an end.

During this month, Qi Yan had made rapid progress and had already mastered most of the interstellar language. He was now able to communicate normally.

But now, he was faced with a problem - confession.

As usual, Huo Linyuan saved Qi Yan's test data into a folder named "Dandan", then he placed Qi Yan at the crook of his neck and lay down.

Just a few days ago, Qi Yan once again experienced a growth transformation, and this time his entire egg was noticeably larger.

The sequelae of growth were also much lighter than the first time. Huo Linyuan speculated that it was because Qi Yan's body was gradually maturing.

"Good night." Huo Linyuan kissed the eggshell as he did every night and prepared to fall asleep.

However, Qi Yan couldn't fall asleep at this time.

Although she had thought it through clearly before, when the day finally came, Qi Yan still felt uncontrollably uneasy.

Suddenly, the lights that had been dimmed slowly lit up.

It turned out that Qi Yan's unconscious rolling caught Huo Linyuan's attention.

Huo Linyuan first extended his mental power to check Qi Yan's mental condition. After finding that there was no problem, he sat up against the head of the bed.

The quilt on his body slid to his abdomen as he moved, and Qi Yan was placed on the quilt.

"Can't sleep?" Huo Linyuan asked.

At this time, Huo Linyuan's hair was loose, and the fine hair covered his smooth forehead, concealing some of his seriousness but adding a hint of laziness.

Qi Yan looked at him for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage.

"I have something to say to you."

"Yeah." Huo Linyuan responded patiently, his gentle eyes fixed on Qi Yan.

"My name is Qi Yan."

"In my previous life, I was a human being. I had just turned 18 when I died."

"I don't know why I came here after I died and turned into an egg."

"This world is just a book in my original world."

"So I've known you for a long time."

……

Qi Yan took a deep breath in his heart. The cold electronic sound made him feel extremely harsh, but he was still prepared to tell Huo Linyuan everything in one breath.

"You are my favorite character. I know all your experiences, from childhood to adulthood."

"I also know the friends and brothers around you, and even...your ending."

"Your misfortune...is all because you vented your anger because the author of the novel lost the lawsuit."

After a pause, Qi Yan felt a little difficult. His mental power was trembling, and even the converted electronic sound was shaking a little.

"If you find it hard to accept, I, I..."

Qi Yan didn't know what happened next. He crawled into the quilt like an ostrich and escaped instinctively.

It took a long time, or maybe it was just a moment.

Huo Linyuan's voice sounded with a hint of helplessness and laughter: "Isn't it boring?"

As he said that, he pulled Qi Yan out from under the quilt.

As soon as Qi Yan's sight came into contact with the light, he was immediately shrouded in a shadow.

At this time, Huo Linyuan pressed his forehead against the eggshell: "Yan Yan."

Yanyan? He... accepted it?

"Although it may be a bit selfish to say this, I am grateful that fate brought you to me."

"No matter who you were, you are just an egg now, just my Yanyan."

"She's the one who'll act cute to me...

"I will ask for praise..."

"Worry about me..."

"Will accompany me when my mental power is out of control..."

"Yan Yan will rush in front of me without hesitation when facing danger."

How could I be acting like a spoiled child... At first, Qi Yan weakly refuted in his heart, but the more he listened, the redder his eggshells became.

Huo Linyuan's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and every word sounded like a touching love talk.

"I just want you to remember that no matter who you are or what you become in the future, you will always be the most important person in my heart."

"So, you can always be yourself in front of me, don't be afraid."

The forehead slowly moved away, and Qi Yan's sight was able to be focused again.

The expected surprise did not appear on Huo Linyuan's face, or perhaps it appeared briefly, but quickly disappeared.

Huo Linyuan's eyes were very gentle, as if mixed with faint starlight.

In this delicate tenderness, Qi Yan's defense naturally broke down.

He suddenly slammed into Huo Linyuan, not caring whether the other party could catch him in time or whether he would get hurt.

Now he just felt that there were a lot of emotions accumulated in his heart, and he urgently needed to vent them.

After a long time, the electronic boy's voice sounded again, as if mumbling to himself: "Why are you so nice to me?"

This was the initial question in Qi Yan's mind, but at this moment the answer didn't seem to matter at all, because Huo Linyuan's kindness to him had never changed, not even a little bit.

Huo Linyuan did not answer, but just held Qi Yan quietly and stroked the eggshell again and again.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when all the uneasiness subsided, Qi Yan calmed down and began to tell Huo Linyuan the plot of the book in great detail.

Time passed minute by minute. This was the first time that Qi Yan spoke so many words. In addition, he had just experienced his second growth stage, and his mental strength was gradually overdrawn.

But Qi Yan didn't care. It had become his obsession to tell Huo Linyuan about all the conspiracies and traps that would happen in the future. Huo Linyuan's attitude undoubtedly helped him overcome the biggest obstacle in his heart.

So now nothing can stop him.

"The royal family uses..." The electronic boy's voice became slower and slower, which meant that Qi Yan was getting more and more tired.

Suddenly, Qi Yan found that he could no longer "make" any sound.

Huo Linyuan's mental power gently wrapped around his mental power, gentle yet with a hint of strength.

Qi Yan knew that he was trying to stop himself from overdrawing his mental strength, but he was still just one step away from revealing all the royal family's conspiracies.

How could he give up at this time?

And in almost all novel plots, anything that remains unsaid, whether small or big, will eventually become the cause of disaster.

Even if Qi Yan was superstitious, he didn't want to leave any hidden dangers when it came to Huo Linyuan's safety.

Qi Yan struggled for a while and signaled Huo Linyuan to let her go.

Huo Linyuan seemed to sigh softly, and he held Qi Yan against his chest.

Qi Yan felt his heartbeat, strong and powerful.

"Yanyan, none of this matters." What matters is that you are by my side, that's enough... Huo Linyuan didn't say the rest.

But his words, accompanied by the beating of his chest, reached Qi Yan's ears word by word, gradually calming Qi Yan's originally anxious and restless heart.

Only then did Qi Yan suddenly realize that, yes, the person in front of her was Huo Linyuan.

In the original text, Huo Linyuan never lost out even when faced with frame-ups and conspiracies.

It was his own choice to face death calmly. Even without the royal family's instigation and the craze of strange beasts, his body had already reached its limit.

Choosing to die together is his last responsibility as the interstellar marshal.

The extreme feeling of despair oppressed Qi Yan, making him feel breathless.

He finally stopped forcing it. As Huo Linyuan said, conspiracies and intrigues were never a real threat.

The desire to become a mermaid and repair Huo Linyuan's mental damage once again became stronger in Qi Yan's mind.
