Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

The mermaid keenly noticed that Zhang Tai, who came to deliver food today, had a strange expression on his face. In the past, Zhang Tai was always smiling and would even talk to him. Moreover, he never delivered the food personally, but asked the robot to do it for him as before.

"What's wrong with you? ...Friend...is unhappy..."

Although he could say some simple words, it was still difficult for him to string together sentences to express his emotions. Xu Bai tried hard and gestured with his fingers. The fish tail was already sticking to the edge of the pool.

Zhang Tai knew what he meant. Wang Jing's words put him in a dilemma, but the mermaid... from the beginning he felt that the mermaid would not be that kind of creature...

"Do you want to go back to the sea?" Zhang Tai asked.

Xu Bai blinked his eyes. On the surface, he looked moved but hesitant. Finally, contrary to Zhang Tai's expectation, he shook his head.

"why?"

"Pei!" The mermaid shouted happily and opened her arms.

Zhang Tai's body was stiff. He turned around with his fists clenched. Pei Xun was standing behind him. He didn't know how much of the conversation he had just heard.

"Professor Pei."

Pei Xun glanced at him, and the warning in his eyes made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"I have a few sets of data that don't match. You can go to the research institute." Pei Xun's tone was normal. Zhang Tai didn't dare to say anything else. He just agreed and walked out.

When he was about to leave, Pei Xun stopped him again, staring at him with dark eyes, "Zhang Tai, from now on you will be mainly responsible for the data from the research institute, and you don't need to come here to teach the mermaids anymore."

Zhang Tai paused and pursed his lips, "Okay."

He had no choice at all, and what he just asked... Pei Xun was already very tolerant by letting him stay in the institute.

With Pei Xun around, Xu Bai didn't care about Zhang Tai's situation at all. He was picked up by Pei Xun, and his wet hair draped over Pei Xun's body lovingly.

"Come."

Pei Xun watched him eat on the rattan chair.

There were so many plates of seaweed, and you could tell at a glance that the person who made it put a lot of effort into it, even the presentation was great.

Zhang Tai... Pei Xun's eyes were deep. He looked at the merman and stroked his smooth back.

Xu Bai: [Can I learn to use chopsticks right away? A spoon is fine too!]

Liu'er listened to his resentful voice and saw him eating seaweed salad with his hands. The white sauce on it stuck to his fingertips and was sucked off inadvertently.

Pei Xun's Adam's apple rolled. He waited until Xu Bai swallowed the last piece of seaweed before asking, "Don't you want to go back to the sea?"

Xu Bai raised his face, with some sauce on the edge of his lips. He stretched out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth flexibly.

"With you, I won't go back to the sea."

Hearing these words, Pei Xun's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The mermaid smiled, showing complete trust and dependence as if she had just been captured.

Even though the scales were pulled off by himself, he still had no resentment.

"Why?" Pei Xun touched his hair, and the salty smell of sea water filled his nostrils.

Xu Bai organized his words carefully, "Save...you saved me...I will hug you."

Actually it means repay, but I haven't learned this word, so after thinking about it, I replaced it with "hug", which also expresses love.

No wonder, it turns out I recognized the wrong person.

Pei Xun had no intention of clarifying the matter. Instead, he stared at the mermaid's sparkling eyes and wiped her soft lips with his rough fingers. "Now I need your help."

He didn't understand and just stared at Pei Xun. "Just nod if you agree, okay?"

The deliberately disguised gentleness was very deceptive. The mermaid was dizzy and only understood the action of "nodding" and nodded subconsciously.

Pei Xun smiled, asked Xu Bai to lean back on the rattan chair, and then went to disinfect. When he came back, he was holding a needle and a rubber tube in his gloved hands.

"..."

Seeing this, Xu Bai's eyes subconsciously revealed a hint of fear, and his tail curled up tightly.

"Believe me." In order to achieve his goals, Pei Xun always managed to disguise himself as what the other party wanted to see. Since this merman regarded him as his savior, Pei Xun naturally regarded himself as that person as well.

Pei Xun placed his broad palm on her cold face and smiled, "Be good, don't be afraid. Tell me, do you remember how I saved you?"

"I'm eating on the beach...sea water, I'm staying on the shore..."

So, "I" rescued the mermaid stranded on the beach. No wonder it has been so well-behaved and obedient all the time.

Pei Xun continued to speak along with Xu Bai's words, and his gloved fingers, like the snout of some fish, directly pinched his wrist, "So I won't hurt you, right?"

Liu Er: [He actually admitted it himself? ]

Xu Bai: [This is not surprising. It's all about exploitation. If you have an identity, you can exploit it more thoroughly. Why not do it?]

Liu Er: [You have already thought of it! ]

So from the very beginning, Xu Bai had already thought of the current situation. Liu'er looked into Xu Bai's eyes through the data and found that he was still smiling.

Xu Bai: [The essence of a career-minded person is also a businessman. Look at his house. Would a researcher who is truly indifferent to fame and fortune own such a large mansion? Half of the hilltop is enclosed.]

There is no shame in asking for money.

But the current situation is no different from putting your face under Xu Bai's hands and asking for trouble.

[Very good, very good.] Pei Xun was praised by Xu Bai, [This strategy target is really, very on track!]

The mermaid didn't see anything, and there was a hint of pleading in her clear eyes, "But... it will... it will hurt."

"I'll be very gentle." Pei Xun put a hand over Xu Bai's eyes, "You won't be afraid if you can't see, right?"

Pei Xun's lips moved closer, and his breath made Xu Bai's cheeks turn red.

The needle was inserted at this time, and it really only hurt a little. After being covered by the hand, the mermaid could only see the pointed chin and slightly pursed lips.

Pei Xun moved his hand away from his face so that he wouldn't see the blood. When he lowered his head again, he saw a white cotton ball being pressed on the wound.

"Does it not hurt?"

It really didn’t hurt, but… it was weird.

His body felt limp and tired, and he didn't even have the strength to flap his tail.

"Pei..."

Xu Bai took two quick breaths and leaned his head back in Pei Xun's arms. His face turned pale almost instantly, cold sweat broke out, his eyelashes were half closed, and he was trembling slightly with discomfort.

The clear voice was particularly soft because of the discomfort, "Pei..."

But he couldn't tell where he felt uncomfortable, so he could only call Pei Xun pitifully.

It's just a tube of blood.

Pei Xun frowned, feeling a little strange. This was not the first time he had drawn blood from a merman, but it was the first time that he looked so weak.

There must be some secrets here that have not been uncovered.
