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

Pei Xun was born to be a person who cannot reflect on himself.

He can only see what he wants to see and believe what he has always believed.

Otherwise, such a bad seed would not be born in his body.

Xu Bai's nails had sunk into the flesh. The skin, which had been swollen by blisters, was like a sponge, and the blood flow was very slow after being pinched.

The slight stinging pain did not stop Pei Xu from looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.

"...Let me meet Pei Xun."

Pei Xu was nostalgic for the feeling of being able to truly feel everything, and he didn't want to give his body to Pei Xun at all. But when he thought about the questions that the mermaid was about to ask, and when he thought about how the mermaid would completely hate him after getting Pei Xun's answer, Pei Xu smiled.

His stiff arm was already difficult to move, so Pei Xu rubbed Xu Bai's cheek with his wrist in a very awkward position.

"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."

Pei Xun didn't want to face this, but one of the two personalities had to come out. Pei Xun had already felt Pei Xu's initiative to retreat.

"Pei Xun..." Xu Bai's voice was gentle, not sharp, nor aggressive, "It's you, right?"

Pei Xun hummed softly. He cared about this body more than Pei Xu, but he couldn't get out of the water in the current situation, so he was stuck there neither up nor down.

Xu Bai's lips began to tremble, and it felt like there was a fire burning in his throat and body.

"Do you still remember the fish that were caught later?"

Pei Xun nodded again.

The salt in the sea water made him frown uncomfortably.

"...they..." The mermaid recalled Axiong's appearance in her mind, and how they tried desperately to jump out of the tank to save her but ended up being knocked unconscious. "You promised me that you would let them go."

"Did you really let them go?"

Pei Xun's eyes were heavy. Zhang Tai was now locked up by him. After the effect of the truth serum wore off, he used this to question Pei Xun in a hoarse voice.

Pei Xun thought he wouldn't care.

But in reality... in reality he couldn't stay calm when facing the mermaid.

"you tell me."

Pei Xun looked over with a serious look, and suddenly curled his lips, "I'm not lying to you, I asked someone to release him."

If it weren't for this look, perhaps the mermaid would believe him.

In the past, because Xu Bai believed that he was his savior, he would subconsciously beautify all his actions, and even labeled some illogical actions as "like" and "helpless".

but now.

——It was Pei Xun himself who taught him what "like" and "dependence" meant, but in the end, it was Pei Xun himself who destroyed the trusting relationship he had established with the merman.

"You... want my blood and scales, are you really trying to save someone?"

Pei Xun said, "Yes."

Deceiving.

Xu Bai suddenly felt tired and annoyed. He didn't know what kind of emotion this was before, but now he knew.

It was wrong from the start.

"Be good." Pei Xun's hand was freed, and Xu Bai's weak tail rubbed against the bottom of the pool, causing some pain.

"Why did you lie to me?"

The mermaid murmured, tears falling from his eyes, each one of which had not condensed into pearls, "You are still lying to me now."

He felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his throat.

Many things flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope, and finally the scene froze in the sea full of blood.

Grandpa Turtle said that mermaids are the protectors of the sea.

As long as there are mermaids, the sea can always maintain peace.

That shark.

…It turns out that I was the one who was wrong all along.

Everything around turned into a buzzing whistle. Countless pairs of eyes and mouths stretched out from the bright moonlight, and each one was loudly denouncing the mermaid's sins.

Xu Bai's body kept shaking and he couldn't control his tears. He didn't even realize that his tears were abnormal. He wiped them several times with his hand before he raised the pale wrist and placed it in front of himself, staring at it again and again.

"..."

"No...Pearl..."

It didn't turn into pearls.

His tears turned into transparent liquid like humans'.

The mermaid became even more frightened. He rubbed his eyes hard, trying to figure out what was going on and also trying to restore his eyesight to normal.

Therefore, the matter of "Pei Xun is a liar" was put aside. The various abnormalities in the body made the mermaid extremely scared, "How could it be..."

How come it can’t turn into a pearl?

Pei Xun wanted to hug Xu Bai, his brain was working fast trying to find a way to comfort the mermaid. But after he opened his mouth to say a few words, he found that the mermaid seemed not to have heard him at all. She just lowered her head and rubbed her eyes hard, with such great strength that it looked like she was going to rub her eyeballs to bleed.

"Stop rubbing it!" Pei Xun pinched his wrist.

The man was now much stronger than him and could easily pull the hand away from his face.

His eyes were bloodshot.

As a result, the distance between the two people was very close. Pei Xun frowned when he saw the state of Xu Bai's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the shell necklace on her neck out of the corner of his eye.

He was the one who modified that thing himself, and he was also the one who put it on Xu Bai himself. Of course, he knew exactly what changes had taken place.

The mermaid was still a little stunned until the necklace was pulled hard by Pei Xun.

"Uh!"

Although the chain is thin, it is made of very strong and tough material. The shell is also specially made, and the tightly closed gap is difficult to open once it is closed - unless someone pries it open forcibly.

Pei Xun held the shell in his hand.

The man's face suddenly turned gloomy. He exerted force with his hands, and the thin white neck subconsciously moved forward, trying to get rid of the horrible feeling of suffocation.

The necklace was tampered with. What's inside?

Pei Xun thought - no wonder the mermaid was returned so easily, but he had already said things he shouldn't have said, what should he do?

Pei Xun's eyes suddenly turned murderous.

Xu Bai's body began to tremble. Pei Xun increased the strength of his grip. In order to get oxygen, he had to raise his head as much as possible. His palms, which were swollen from the sea water, showed no intention of loosening, and a bloody mark was left on his neck.

"Uh... Pei..."

Panic spread, Xu Bai's body trembled, and he shook his head slightly in an attempt to get rid of the feeling of suffocation. His eyes were empty and tears were still overflowing from them.

Pei Xun was very scared.

He had already guessed what was inside the necklace.

Camera? Recording device?

Anyway, it is something that can ruin his reputation, make him lose face and make everything he has go down the drain!
