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

Xu Bai's eyes suddenly widened and he looked over helplessly.

“…Ha.” Looking at the merman’s expression, Pei He let go of his hand, clasped his fingers together and twisted them, “I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously.”

It doesn't look like a joke.

"What is your relationship with him?"

Pei He didn't have the habit of revealing his scars to others, so he didn't answer, but just stared at the mermaid again and again.

The mermaid obviously misunderstood the meaning of this action. He explained anxiously, "I... I came ashore by myself. I came up to ask him something."

The mermaid, who had no idea of ​​the evil nature of human nature, revealed the reason why she came ashore.

In fact, he really had no other choice. If he couldn't find humans to help him, he would definitely not be able to use his two fish tails to find Pei Xun and get the answers he wanted.

"You want to ask him about your partner?"

Xu Bai nodded.

Pei He thought about it for a moment. In fact, he had thought about this plan before, but he had never found the right person. Now it seems that he has found it - Pei He's eyes are deep. Even if he gives it a try, it's no big deal. Anyway, he won't really hurt him.

"I can help you." Pei He stretched out his hand, "But you have to do something for me in exchange."

Hearing the word "exchange", Xu Bai couldn't help but shudder and hugged his slightly dim tail.

"Don't worry." Pei He's hand was still hovering in the air. "I am different from Pei Xun. I won't take your scales. It's just a small matter. Besides... don't you want to know whether Pei Xun really likes you?"

Xu Bai couldn't refuse any of them.

Xu Bai stretched out his hand hesitantly and shook hands with Pei He.

……

Pei Xun suspected that he was crazy. He had no memory of the time when Pei Xu took over his body. He only knew that there was a force in his body that was desperately trying to prevent the mermaid from being retrieved.

He had so many security guards at home, and even had specially approved guns at hand, so how could he still let the mermaid escape!

Moreover, he was taken away by a kid who was not proficient in martial arts!

Afterwards, he checked the surveillance footage and discovered that all of this was actually his "masterpiece".

Wang Jing was the most puzzled. When he came back the next day, he saw the messy living room. "Professor Pei, what happened?"

"Where have you been?"

"Didn't you ask me to go see the previous research samples?" The research samples were in the research institute. Originally, when Zhang Tailai came, Wang Jing happened to be patrolling nearby, so he was transferred away.

"Are you sure it was me?" Pei Xun took a deep breath and exhaled, his brows knitted into a knot, "Are you sure it was me who asked you to go to the research institute?"

This question is really strange.

Wang Jing looked at Pei Xun, "Yes, of course, otherwise why would I go directly to--" He stopped talking halfway as if he realized something, and changed the subject, "Professor, is there something wrong?"

"…The mermaid was taken away."

"What!!"

Wang Jing's reaction was even greater. He almost jumped up and shouted, "Who did it? We arranged it so tightly, and the mermaid doesn't have long legs. How could he escape right under our noses?"

This is what Pei Xun finds most difficult to accept.

He was the one who let the mermaid go.

"The mermaid was taken away by Zhang Tai." Pei Xun tapped the table with his fingers. "She came in the middle of the night."

"How is this possible!" Wang Jing knew Zhang Tai well. The young man was just a graduate and definitely not some hidden master. Moreover, Pei Xun always carried a gun with him. What kind of skills did he have to be able to take away such an important research sample under Pei Xun's eyes?

"I just want to ask you one question." Pei Xun's brows wrinkled deeply. "When I asked you to go to the research institute, were your expression and actions normal?"

Wang Jing blinked his eyes, and the burly man tried to recall carefully, but still couldn't find anything strange, so he shook his head.

"You go out first."

Pei Xun felt that he needed to think about it carefully, and even planned to make an appointment with a professional psychologist.

No one had ever cared for the roses in the yard. After a heavy rain, the already withered roses no longer had their refreshing fragrance, but were replaced by an unpleasant smell of decay.

Pei Xun stood in front of the group of flowers and looked at them.

I thought expressionlessly, it looked so beautiful when I first planted it, but in the end—

Still failed.

……

Zhang Tai cooperated with the police to record his statement, and was released after that.

The driver called the police and said that he was committing premeditated murder, but in fact, the police officers all saw the situation at the scene. Although it seems that there is no way to explain it with existing science, it can also prove that Zhang Tai was not "killing people."

In his confession, Zhang Tai did not mention the mermaid, so the police reminded him on the way, "Young man, you went there at night to release a big fish, right?"

Zhang Tai, who didn't know what to do, quickly took over the conversation. Later, when he gave his statement in the police station, he was very consistent and was released after it was confirmed to be correct.

It was already dawn when he came out. Zhang Tai felt as if he was in another world. At the same time, he wanted to cry when he looked at the sky - sending the mermaid back to the sea meant that he would never have the chance to meet him again.

Zhang Tai thought belatedly.

I fell in love with this beautiful fish from the first time I saw it.

Unfortunately, the mermaid was completely focused on Professor Pei, and until now, he didn't even have the chance to ask the mermaid's name.

Now I truly feel the pain of separation, and I don’t know where my future is going. I just squatted on the deserted roadside and cried my heart out.

Zhang Tai has always been a "good student" who follows the rules. He does not regret this rebellion, but he feels a little lost.

After he finished crying, he stood up and the sky was a little brighter than before.

"Goodbye."

Zhang Tai said softly, speaking to himself and to the mermaid as well.

He is ready to go home and spend time with his mother.
