Gu Yao's decision to leave made him feel extremely guilty.

Ryan had a deep understanding of the art of reading people's expressions and moods.

So, through this incident, I returned to the warm embrace of the master bedroom.

Gu Yao knew this would happen when he received the message from the merfolk.

He opened the door to the master bedroom and saw a pair of blue eyes staring at him expectantly, blinking and brimming with tears, just like a homeless stray dog.

"Mr. Mermaid..."

The young man knew how to soften Gu Yao's heart, and he bit his lip and called out softly.

A soft, slightly aggrieved expression.

Looking at the boy who was hugging a pillow and staring at him expectantly, Gu Yao sighed softly and reluctantly gave in, "Come in."

At worst, I'll suffer a bit, but once I leave, I won't be back for almost a month.

Moreover, after being away from him for several days, he really...missed him a little.

Mermaids prefer cool seawater and dislike anything too hot. To be honest, Gu Yao wasn't particularly comfortable being held by Ryan.

After all, he used magic to control his body temperature, so to Ryan, he was only a little cold.

But to Gu Yao, Ryan's body was burning hot.

It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

It was so hot it made him a little flustered.

He could use magic to separate him from the boy.

But he couldn't bear to part with it.

Just as he couldn't bear to hurt the boy, he also couldn't bear to let him go.

Seeing those beautiful emerald eyes light up for a moment, Gu Yao's mood couldn't help but improve.

When you're in a good mood, you naturally want to do some weird and wonderful things.

Watching the boy stride forward and sit obediently by the bed, the warm yellow light softened his handsome face. His lowered eyelashes trembled gently, adding to his innocent look. His platinum blonde hair fell neatly beside his ears, with a few curls, making him quite adorable.

Her nose was round and upturned, her lips were pink, and her collarbone was delicate... downwards...

Gu Yao felt a rush of blood to his head.

Gu Yao looked away uncomfortably, her ears turning red.

Why is the neckline of the little one's pajamas so big?

Gu Yao wanted to calm down, but the fleeting glimpse he had just seen wouldn't leave his mind.

Although she had just mentally prepared herself to give the child a farewell gift today, Gu Yao felt a little timid when the time came.

He wasn't a coward, but now he couldn't help but back down.

He instinctively felt that the person in front of him was deliberately feigning weakness to lure him. He wanted to escape, but how could a foolish mermaid who had stepped into a trap escape the palm of an experienced fisherman?

The little fisherman gave a sharp tug and yanked the silly mermaid into his net.

Ryan gently twirled the long, silvery hair with his fingertips, then leaned down and placed a kiss on those azure eyes.

"My dear mermaid, would you like to explore the true meaning of life with me tonight?"

The boy, who was adept at using his advantages, wore a shy yet straightforward smile.

Her blue eyes stared intently at the person in front of her.

With undisguised sincerity and passion.

He was just waiting for Gu Yao to nod before he would enjoy the delicious sashimi in front of him.

The pink pearls are arranged on a plate, paired with white sauce, allowing you to savor the freshest and most primal flavors of the ocean.

That would be very delicious.

Ryan knew that his dear merman was now feeling guilty and restless.

That blatant look in his eyes just now, wasn't it just him asking for something? Did he like it?

But Mr. Mermaid is too thin-skinned, so the only option is for him to be a little thicker-skinned.

A gift.

It's more fun to take things apart yourself.

The boy chuckled softly, his fingertips slipping down and landing gently on the ribbon.

A new set of clothes.

The clothes I was wearing before were so dirty that I couldn't wear them anymore.

The priceless silk gauze is beyond compare.

Pity.

He doesn't want this either.

But I couldn't resist.

Ryan smiled and gently placed his hand down.

Gu Yao was taken aback, but turned his head away without stopping the boy's actions.

Since we've decided to give out some perks, there's no need to be coy.

Besides, I've seen it everywhere.

The beautiful mermaid pursed her lips.

But the boy seemed to be deliberately torturing him, untying the ribbons extremely slowly.

It's so slow it's agonizing.

Gu Yao was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

He knew the brat did it on purpose.

Something's definitely not right where those fingertips touched.

Such blatant provocation and flirting made Gu Yao take a deep breath and glare angrily.

The boy stopped at the right moment, a gentle smile appearing on his face, tinged with innocence.

“Dear Mermaid, if you want to make amends, you should have the right attitude.”

As the boy spoke, a hint of regret appeared on his face, and his emerald eyes were misty, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Since Mr. Mermaid doesn't like it so much, I'll be leaving now."

As she spoke, she reached for the pillow she had brought.

Looking at this "drama queen" in front of him, even though he knew he was probably just acting, Gu Yao still couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

I just don't want those beautiful eyes to be misty.

No matter the circumstances.

That would make him feel a tightness or pain in his chest.

Many years ago, it seems that someone else looked at him in the same way.

"My lord, why can't you even look at me?"

Her emerald eyes held a deep sadness, her words trembled with unspeakable pain, and her swaying figure made even her once flamboyant red dress lose some of its luster.

who are you?

"Fox, why do you do this? I was born of heaven, destined to be heartless, and cannot give you what you want."

"I know, I've always known."

"Well then, thank you very much for your care over the past hundred years, sir. I bow deeply and take my leave."

The red figure trembled as it bowed to the white figure before it, and before anyone could speak, it staggered and rushed outwards.

Gu Yao felt a splitting headache. He felt as if he had become the white-robed youth in the high hall, his soul split in two, one half wanting to grab the boy's hand, and the other half wanting to grab the red hem of his clothes.

The young man in white wanted to speak to the boy to stop him, but ultimately did not reach out his hand.

Don't let him go!

Can't……

"fox……"

Don’t go…

You will die.

Gu Yao called out indistinctly, his throat constricted, the sound of his breath suppressed to the extreme.

His soul was split in two, but one half of it wounded the person most important to him.

When Ryan heard the voice behind him, he turned around and saw Gu Yao stretch out his hand. His fingertips were trembling, and the thin layer of skin covering his hand bones was stretched to the limit, as if he was in great pain.

A misty haze filled her azure eyes, tearing apart the starry sky, leaving it devoid of light and filled with profound sorrow.

What kind of look was that?

Ryan couldn't explain it clearly.

But he knew clearly that it was a gaze that pierced through this perfunctory shell and confronted the soul.

Too heavy.

Too heavy.

It was so heavy that Ryan felt he couldn't bear it, and his eyes even stung.

He rarely regretted what he had done, and even less so the things he had schemed for, but now, he was genuinely starting to regret it.

He turned around and hugged the person tightly. The beautiful mermaid also hugged Ryan tightly, with a force that seemed to want to crush the fragile human.

Ryan felt the spikes pierce his shoulder, possibly even digging into the bone.

It hurts.

But seeing Salsis trembling, Ryan felt even more pain in his heart.

Some of the out-of-control mermaids suppressed their cries to the extreme, their souls as if they had been thrown into the deep sea, where there was no sunlight, only darkness and cold. They could only draw a little warmth from the warm body in front of them.

The force with which the boy was grasped felt like grasping all salvation.

Ryan paid no attention to the wound on his shoulder. He gently kissed the top of his silver hair, and his warm, dry hands soothed his back again and again.

With his other hand, he held the person tightly in his arms, protecting them with an absolutely dominant and protective posture.

The dragon kept his treasures hidden away.

The lion encloses its territory.

The usually gentle and harmless boy had become strange and ruthless, his face gloomy and his green eyes full of vigilance, which only softened when his gaze fell on Gu Yao.

Gu Yao seemed lost in his own world, holding the person in front of him tightly, without reducing his strength in the slightest.

The boy remained calm, yet gently coaxed the trembling person in his arms.

"Don't leave."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Don't leave."

"I'm here."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No matter how many times Gu Yao asked unconsciously, Ryan answered softly.

Every word and phrase has a response.
