Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"Yes, but after a long time, Xia Jiumeng woke up to the rich sweet smell of flame lilies. She opened her eyes in a daze, and memories flooded in like a tide.

It made her understand her situation instantly.

She turned her head slightly to look at the man who was hugging her with a satisfied look on his face. A nameless anger surged from the bottom of her heart, and she raised her foot.

"oops!"

After a "bang" sound, a man screamed in pain from under the bed.

"You, why did you kick me?"

"What do you think?" Xia Jiumeng asked indifferently as she looked at Qi Yu who was trying to stand up.

"How...how should I know?"

Qi Yu propped himself up guiltily and quietly pulled a piece of blue gauze to cover himself.

Xia Jiumeng snorted softly when she saw this, "Really?"

"Then let me help you recall it."

As she spoke, she reached out and placed her hand on his bare chest, tapping it lightly. Seeing his cheeks suddenly flush, she slowly said, "Tell me, what were those things you fed me before?"

At that time, her mind was confused, not amnesia, so she could still remember what this guy did.

Sure enough, these men were not honest people, especially this fish, who I thought was a guy with high attack and low defense.

Sure enough, she was the only fool in this deep space.

Although it’s not the final step, it’s almost there.

She had never suffered such a big loss.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, especially the subtle discomfort in her palms and legs made her more aware of what had happened before.

Qi Yu was stunned when he heard her question, then he said in a low voice with a wandering look, "No, nothing..."

She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qi Yu's guilty look.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Did this guy do this on purpose?

"Honestly!"

Qi Yu was startled by her sudden harsh voice, and his eyes immediately turned red with grievance. "I, I only do this because I see you feeling miserable... You're such a vicious person!"

"You obviously seduced me, why are you still so mean to me?"

Xia Jiumeng: “…” Is it still her fault?

And she hadn't done anything right? Before that, she had always been caring about his health normally.

Besides, why was she upset?

This guy looked like a man-eating siren before.

Moreover, she was still conscious at that time, obviously because of that kiss.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiumeng approached Qi Yu directly and grabbed his gaze, which he wanted to avoid, so that he could only look directly into her eyes.

"Qi Yu, don't change the subject. Tell me, what was that liquid you poured into me and what was the smell of the air at that time?"

"Tell the truth and don't hide anything."

Qi Yu pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, speaking in a low voice with a somewhat hoarse voice.

"You've just recalled a long-lost memory, haven't you? Don't you know that mermaids are..." He felt a little shy when he said this, and his cheeks and body turned pink. "Is it the estrus period..."

Although the voice was very low, Xia Jiumeng heard it clearly.

Xia Jiumeng “….”

Qi Yu didn't dare to look up and continued to speak, "That smell can only be emitted by mermaids with partners."

"And the liquid I feed you is for your partner to penetrate you. My... is just... instinct..."

In an instant, Xia Jiumeng understood what those liquids were.

Damn it.

She thought she was a seasoned shrew, but she didn't expect to be controlled by a guy who was even more innocent than herself.

Thinking about this makes me both angry and funny.

However...another thought came to Xia Jiu's mind.

She lifted Qi Yu's angular jaw and scratched it gently. He subconsciously groaned and raised his head.

"Qi Yu, if it was someone else next to you at that time, would you have treated her like this?"

Qi Yu, who had been enjoying her affectionate gesture, was stunned and looked down at her in disbelief. "How is it possible? Why would you think that?"

"You and I have a lifelong contract. No one but you can get close to me in that situation."

As if afraid that Xia Jiumeng didn't understand clearly, he held Xia Jiumeng's hand and spoke seriously.

"Lemurians with partners become extremely dangerous and aggressive during their mating season, and will kill any creature that comes near except their partner."

As soon as the words were spoken, red fish marks appeared on the chests of both of them.

"I will never mistake my lover. If it weren't for you, no one would have the chance to get close to me." Qi Yu looked serious as if he was taking an oath.

The estrus period is different from the tidal period, especially since he is still in the sea. Even if he is weak during the tidal period, he is still capable of attacking, not to mention the more dangerous estrus period.

Hearing his answer, the coldness in Xia Jiumeng's eyes instantly warmed up.

Well, she was quite satisfied with this answer.

"That's pretty much it."

Xia Jiumeng began to look around the room.

"What is this place? I remember you took me to the deep ocean before, right?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at Qi Yu carefully. He was normal. Apart from feeling a little cold, there was nothing wrong with him. His hands were hands and his feet were feet. He had not transformed into an animal.

And the air here is dry.

The surrounding walls were severely yellowed and peeling, looking weird yet inexplicably familiar, especially the bed beneath them, which was so hard it hurt.

It's like an old house that has been completely abandoned.

"This is the bottom of the sea." Qi Yu stood up and slowly picked up the clothes scattered on the ground.

After putting on his own clothes, he took a pile of neatly arranged clothes from a balcony and handed them to her.

"The clothes are clean, wear them."

As he said this, he slightly turned his body to avoid embarrassing her.

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng took the clothes and put them on through the translucent gauze.

Since she came here, she rarely wears the hunter uniform. Although the clothes are very slim-fitting, to be honest, she likes loose clothes that are more convenient for movement.

Moreover, given her current physical strength, she doesn't really need this kind of defensive clothing.

After getting dressed, she got up from the bed and looked at the house in front of her step by step until she reached the window. She was shocked for a moment when she saw the buildings that showed obvious signs of age and were even parasitized by many marine creatures.

"This is Lemuria?"

Although she had seen it on TV and knew that this place had long been in decline, she did not expect it to be so desolate and dilapidated.

What I saw in person was far more intuitive and even shocking than what I saw on TV. Loneliness and sadness permeated the air.

"Yes, but this place is already...abandoned."

Qi Yu didn't know when he approached her, looked at the scene outside the window and stretched out his hand slightly.

It was only then that Xia Jiumeng discovered that this room was protected by a transparent film, which was why there was air and a dry environment here.

"What is this?" She poked it curiously, and her fingertips passed through the membrane. She could feel the cold sea water outside her fingertips.
