Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble
Chapter 221: Career-minded Professor x Gentle and Well-behaved Mermaid 26
Of course Pei He hated them, how could he not hate them, they were his parents!
Until now, Pei He still couldn't understand. Even if he was dissatisfied, how could he really attack his own biological parents?
How cruel can you be?
Pei He wanted to ask his good brother in person what he was thinking about.
It has not been easy for Pei He to be outside these years. He has not gotten anything from the Pei family. He has to rely on himself, and the only thing that supports him is revenge.
He has been following Pei Xun's reports.
Pei Xun is gaining more and more halos.
Living a glamorous life, people have forgotten all about the past. They forgot that the declining Pei family had a child living outside, and they forgot how the Pei family would have been where they are today if he had not used dishonorable means to obtain all the Pei family's property!
By noon the next day, Pei He knew most of the information about the mermaids.
He was rescued, first in the research institute, and later placed in Pei Xun's private residence. When he was in the private residence, the detective had no way to track him.
We waited in ambush, but the mermaid did not go out.
"Oh!" He seemed to remember something, "and this."
Handing the photo to Pei He, "A truck once went in, and it was loaded with...all freshly cut roses."
Fresh cut roses?
Who would make Pei Xun put so much thought into this?
The answer is self-evident.
It must be a mermaid.
Pei He felt a little confused, to be honest he didn't know what to feel - but then he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, now the mermaid was in his hands, as long as Pei Xun had a little affection for him, then he would have easily grasped Pei Xun's weakness.
It can be said to be "easy to get".
Liu Er: [What should I do next? ]
Xu Bai: [Pei He wants to avenge his parents, so he must choose between the mermaid and his parents' hatred.]
Liu Er: [Why do you say that?]
Xu Bai sighed, "It's very simple. If you do a quick search, you will know that Pei Xun cares a lot about mermaids. So how can he make his enemies suffer? Of course, he should take revenge on the person he cares about the most."
Now Pei Xun's favorability is not the point. The point is Pei He. Obviously, the current favorability is not enough, but the groundwork has been laid, so there is no need to panic next.
Pei He went to see the mermaid in the bathtub.
Even in sea water, the space was too small for him. He curled up pitifully in this little bit of water, and the scales on his body were already showing signs of drying out.
And his body temperature has always been similar to that of humans, which means that his fever has not subsided.
"I know you can talk."
Pei He knew that some things would be meaningless if they were revealed.
But he desperately wanted to see the ugly side of the mermaid, so that he would not have any guilt in his heart and he could use Xu Bai as a "beast" with peace of mind.
But the mermaid's eyes were too clear, and all the emotions in them were visible. After moving his lips several times, he spoke with determination, "...Thank you for saving me."
It was Pei He who had been taking care of him when he was seriously ill. As a mermaid who knew how to repay kindness, although Xu Bai was still a little conflicted, he still responded.
Because of the illness, his voice was a little hoarse, but it was still very pleasant to hear.
"You're welcome." Pei He always looked polite and courteous, with a smile on his handsome face, but the next sentence he said was not very polite, "Pei Xun is very good to his lover, right?"
Xu Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "...What, lover?"
Yes, the mermaid only knew that she was in love with her savior, but did not quite understand the specific meaning of "lover".
In the big box he looked at, the word wasn't very good.
They shouldn't be lovers, right? Although it was Pei Xu who saved him, not Pei Xun, they both had the same body.
So he turned his already confused mind and said, "We... are in love."
"You mean, Pei Xun is in love with you?" Pei He actually guessed it, and repeated it without much surprise, and asked again, "So is he nice to you?"
Good or not?
Pei He looked at the mermaid's pale face, then followed his gaze from the tip of the tail up again.
Xu Bai couldn't give a definite answer.
He never doubted his feelings for his savior, but began to doubt his savior's feelings for him.
If you didn't like him, why did you spend so much patience on him? Why did you teach him so many skills that only humans have?
If you say you like it... the scales that were pulled out from the tail are still very obvious, as well as those few tubes of blood. Every time they are drawn, the mermaid will feel uncomfortable for a long time.
But Pei Xun would not be by his side when he was feeling bad. He would always have various reasons to leave.
His eyelashes trembled, Xu Bai was in a dilemma and bit his lips unconsciously.
Pei He said, "Pei Xun doesn't like you at all. He is a human being, how could he possibly fall in love with you?"
Why not? The mermaid still didn't understand, and looked at him with a pair of eyes full of sadness, which made Pei He's next words stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them for a long time.
"I……"
[Pei He Favorability: 48]
"Pei Xun saved me." The merman curled his lips and smiled lightly and weakly, as ethereal and gentle as the waves caressing the beach, leaving no trace.
"It was very similar to when you rescued me. It was also on the beach. He dragged me into the sea. Otherwise, I would have died."
"Because he saved you, you like him?" Pei He looked at him. The atmosphere between them became relaxed and they talked softly as if they were chatting about family matters.
Xu Bai was ready to seize this opportunity to increase his favorability.
"I don't know." He shook his head. "I... I didn't know what love was at that time. I just knew that we would lie on the protruding rocks and bask in the sun. He would bring me books. Although I didn't understand what they were saying, I was very happy."
"I was sad when he didn't come, so sad that I couldn't even eat my favorite shellfish. At that time, I thought..." Xu Bai smiled a little nostalgically, "If only it could go on like this forever, if only I could always see him..."
Through Xu Bai's words, Pei He outlined a Pei Xun that he had never known or understood.
At the same time, I also feel sorry for the mermaids.
Pretending can only deceive simple creatures like mermaids.
[Pei He Favorability: 50]
Xu Bai leaned his head against the edge of the bathtub, his long hair hanging down, his face showing a look of nostalgia and shyness, "...You and he have very similar eyes..."
This sentence was like a thunderclap, waking Pei He up instantly.
Pei He reached out and pinched Xu Bai's chin for the first time. His fingertips felt smooth and tender. He whispered, "I saved you, too. Why don't you like me?"
