Quick Transmigration: Passerby A Gets Entangled with the Male Lead

He Zhiyao's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by System 686's seemingly foolish laughter. She replied irritably, "What happy thing have you thought of that makes you laugh like an idiot?"

[And besides, what's with all this talk about being pitiful? He clearly brought these things to us of his own accord.]

He Zhiyao said that, but looking at Shi Yubai's lonely figure, she still softened and said, "Come back."

System 686: ......

Shi Yubai suddenly stopped walking, paused, then slowly turned around and walked back to his original position, sitting down steadily.

"Are you so determined to marry into our family? Don't forget, we are mermaids. Our lifespan is many times that of humans. My life will only begin after you die!" He Zhiyao said, raising her chin slightly.

Deep in He Zhiyao's memory, the lifespan of her mermaid clan was usually as long as a thousand years.

Moreover, very few female mermaids choose to become partners with humans. Even if such a situation does occur, once the human partner passes away, the female mermaid will usually find a new love.

After all, the mermaid race is dwindling, and it is common for a female mermaid to have multiple partners in order to reproduce.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Some male mermaids who find human partners willingly sign a contract to share their lives with their lovers. However, this is extremely rare among female mermaids.

Thinking about this, He Zhiyao couldn't help but feel that this situation was somewhat similar to the female-dominated novels she had read before, except for the difference in lifespan.

At this moment, Shi Yubai naturally knew that mermaids' lifespans were far longer than those of humans.

The thought that He Zhiyao would be in someone else's arms after he died sent a pang of pain through his heart, as if tiny insects were gnawing at it.

Shi Yubai couldn't help but say, "I want to." Anyway, when he dies, he won't know anything or feel any pain.

He Zhiyao leaned forward slightly, extended her slender fingers, and gently lifted Shi Yubai's well-defined chin.

Her gaze swept over his face, which was as beautiful as a painting, and she said, "Okay, I agree."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yubai was stunned, seemingly unable to believe his ears. He stared blankly at He Zhiyao for a long while before coming back to his senses.

Then, a light of surprise and delight suddenly flashed in his eyes, as dazzling as a firework bursting in the night sky.

For a moment, she was speechless, and after a long while, she finally said, "Then... when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

Shi Yubai could not hide his excitement. His hands involuntarily wanted to hold He Zhiyao's fair and soft hands, but he restrained himself in the end.

He Zhiyao chuckled upon hearing this.

He's someone who always knows how to push his luck.

But then she thought about it again and found his appearance quite adorable, so she smiled slightly and said, "How about... we go now?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yubai stared at He Zhiyao in astonishment, as if asking, "Really? Is this true?"

Just then, He Zhiyao wanted to say something to tease the man in front of her who was overjoyed, but when she saw Shi Yubai's expectant eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

In the end, she suppressed her urge to tease him further, cleared her throat, and said softly, "Ahem... shall we go after I finish what I'm doing?"

Shi Yubai wanted to ask if there was anything he could do to help, but then he thought of the He family's incredibly powerful background and strength, and it seemed that there was no chance for him to make a difference.

"Okay, I'll wait until you're done." Then he added, "I'm available anytime, I always have time."

Hearing this, He Zhiyao nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, then stretched lazily and said, "Alright, you should go back to work! I still have things to take care of here, I need to go see He Qing first."

Just then, Shi Yubai seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added, "Oh right, if you want to live there later, I happen to have a vacant house in that area that I can provide for you." After saying that, he looked at He Zhiyao with some anticipation.

He Zhiyao clearly hadn't expected Shi Yubai to act so quickly.

He Zhiyao thought for a moment, "That works too." Having the system watch over He Qing would be the same.

"I'll take you to see where the house is now, and you can stay there tonight." Perhaps because he had received He Zhiyao's consent, Shi Yubai was no longer as cautious as before, and his whole demeanor exuded a different aura.

“Let’s go!” He Zhiyao stood up first.

Time passed and Bai followed.

Before long, they arrived at Shi Yubai's property.

She opened the door and found everything inside, including a walk-in closet with all sorts of clothes for her to wear.

He Zhiyao took a stroll around and felt it was pretty good.

Shi Yubai was also very happy to see He Zhiyao's satisfied expression. It was no wonder that he had ordered people to decorate the whole house overnight.

"Is everything alright at work today?" He Haiyao asked, looking at Shi Yubai, who was always following behind her like a little tail.

"It's nothing." After Shi Yubai got his second uncle in control of the company, he hired someone to help manage it, because he devoted half of his energy to finding her.

"Well, I'll leave first."

"Okay." Shi Yubai did not follow again. Because he lost his parents when he was ten years old, he was a little sensitive deep down. So much so that when He Zhiyao asked him if there was anything going on at the company, she was trying to get rid of him.

Of course, this sensitivity only manifests when it comes to He Zhiyao, since he has never cared about anyone except his parents.

[Xiao Liu, keep an eye on He Qing.]

[Host, can we start tomorrow?] System 686 looked at the work in its hands. It hadn't finished its work for the day and couldn't keep an eye on He Qing all the time.

Okay, a little while won't make a difference.

Shi Yubai's house was not far from He Qing's house. He Zhiyao arrived after walking for a while, took the key and opened the door. She found that He Qing was also at home.

"Didn't you have class today?"

"Sister Yao, today is Sunday," He Qing replied obediently, looking like a child who hadn't grown up yet.

Yes, He Qing is still a little kid among the mermaids at his age, no wonder his mermaid identity was accidentally discovered.

"You're still so young, why don't you go back to the sea?" He Zhiyao asked, puzzled. Mermaids must reach adulthood before they can go to sea, and mermaids born on land are sent to the sea to grow up. Why is He Qing allowed to stay on land at such a young age?

<I'm having terrible writer's block, I don't even know what I've written anymore. To be honest, it looks a bit nonsensical to me, so please bear with it! I thought I couldn't write anymore, so I took the day off, hence only one chapter today.>

This world won't last long; the plot is unpredictable.
