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

The call finally got through.

Wang Jing didn't dare to relax his breath and told the current situation, "Professor Pei, I don't know what those videos are about. Now the institute has been surrounded. What should we do next?"

Pei Xun knew where the video came from, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally sank completely.

The thing he was most worried about happened. He stretched out his arms and stroked Xu Bai's cheek slowly with his palm.

Wang Jing could only hear shallow breathing sounds from the other end, and no other response.

After the most terrifying thing happened, Pei Xun laughed instead. When his laughter reached Wang Jing's ears, it scared the burly man.

"Professor Pei——"

"It's nothing, actually. They've all paid the fees. If things really get out of hand, they can't escape responsibility. It should just be a scare tactic—"

If only it were that simple.

Pei Xun knew clearly what these wealthy people looked like, so he took great pains to create a Professor Pei who could fully represent professionalism and authority.

If one day this "Professor Pei" no longer has authority, everyone will come to step on him.

Even with her eyes closed, the mermaid's face was as beautiful as ever.

Whether it's the frowning brows or the trembling eyelashes even though she has lost consciousness, they are all so to her liking.

Pei Xun knew that he fell in love with him.

It even got to the point where I didn't want to be separated from him at all.

Wang Jing was still waiting for Professor Pei's reply on the other end of the phone.

He didn't dare to urge her anymore and just waited in silence.

"Wang Jing, you have worked hard these days, so you should stay in the institute first." Pei Xun finally said this.

"Okay." Wang Jing replied, "Don't worry about me." He wanted to say something else, but the call was hung up first.

Pei Xun's mental state seemed to be very bad, the kind that was completely self-destructive.

Xu Bai could see him propping himself up and looking the mermaid up and down, his eyes complicated, filled with anger, pity, determination and reluctance.

"My dear." Pei Xun murmured softly, "Look, you've ruined me, my career, and the research institute that I worked so hard to run. All this is because you were taken advantage of...but I don't blame you."

He stroked the merman's dry hair and said, "I don't blame you, but I'm very sad. Now I have nothing. The things I care about the most are gone."

The more he talked, the harder his obsessive subordinates pushed. The pain of his hair being pulled made Xu Bai open his eyes dazedly. Facing those eyes filled with fear and hatred, Pei Xun sighed, "My dear, can you say you like me? If you say you like me, I will put you back into the sea. Don't you want to go back? I will grant your wish, as long as you say these few words——"

"I hate you."

Xu Bai moved his lips, but he had no strength and his voice was hoarse and small. Pei Xun put his lips close to his with high hopes, but what he heard were not the words he expected. His expression changed again in an instant.

Every word Pei Xun said just now was like rubbing salt into the mermaid's wounds.

How can I forgive? There is no way to forgive.

The home he could never return to, the friends he would never see again, just thinking about it made him burst into tears again.

Pei Xun downplayed all these things time and time again, and even used them as conditions for exchange.

"The thing I regret most..." Blood flowed from his cracked lips, and the blood and tears left shocking marks on his pale cheeks.

"It was the day I swam out of the sea."

These are really heartless words.

Pei Xun's breathing was trembling, and he actually shed tears.

The man who didn't shed tears when he learned that his parents were in trouble gritted his teeth and tears fell down his chin onto Xu Bai's neck.

"Okay, okay." Professor Pei forced a smile. When Xu Bai said "hate him", the uncontrollable self-destructive tendency in his head was already exposed.

He leaned over and hugged Xu Bai tightly, so tightly that it seemed as if he wanted to melt him into his bones and blood.

"Then you die with me, let's go together."

"If there is a next life." Pei Xun has gone crazy, "If there is a next life, I will definitely save you. Honey, you can't forget me, and I will remember you too."

Pei Xu was suppressed by the main personality, and Pei Xun was worried that he would come out to disrupt the situation.

[Pei Xun's Favorability: 96]

After making up his mind, Pei Xun relaxed a little. He knew that the mermaid could not leave on his own now, and there was no need to worry that he would run away.

Liu Er: [Isn’t he ready to take action immediately?]

Xu Bai: [Death is not an easy thing. I still want to recall the good old days. But it will end soon anyway, so I'll let the target of the capture reminisce.]

From the sound of it, are you really planning to take the target with you?

Pei Xun cooked a bowl of noodle soup by himself.

My cooking skills were average and because I was worried about something, the egg broke when I beat it into the water and scattered all over the bowl. It should have been a poached egg, but it turned out to be an egg drop egg.

"eat something."

Pei Xun brought the noodles to Xu Bai, blew them to cool, and picked up a few noodles with chopsticks to feed him his former research samples.

At this moment, he suddenly talked a lot, so much that it was no longer like him.

"My dear, I remember when you first came to my house, you were afraid that I would be angry, so you came to me with your tail dragging. It must have been very painful." Pei Xun began to recall.

People always realize how precious something they have missed only after they lose it.

"Remember? We hugged each other that day, and then we went to see the roses."

"Those roses are blooming so beautifully, and your smile is so beautiful..."

He was completely immersed in those memories, both real and fake, many of which were fragments that he only now discovered were extremely precious.

Xu Bai didn't eat a single bite of the bowl of noodles. Not only that, he even retched uncontrollably a few times, forcing Pei Xun out of his memories.

The mermaid looked very disheveled, with her hair covering half of her face.

"..." He didn't know what to say. He looked at a certain place casually with a hazy vision. His heart and head were completely empty. His body was hot, but it was frighteningly cold inside.

Pei Xun took a mouthful of noodles and muttered for too long, so the noodles, which were originally soft, had now become a clumping mass.

The egg flowers inside were also floating around, giving off an indescribable eggy smell.

Xu Bai: [Don’t mention it, the world setting is still very detailed. ]

[Everything is a foreshadowing when leaving. Look at the fried egg that can't be beaten and the noodles that can't be eaten. None of them are good signs. ]

Pei Xun threw the bowl aside and hugged Xu Bai again.

"Sleep, sleep and then we'll leave."

The mermaid clenched her palms, her nails digging deep into the flesh.
