Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person

Chapter 154 The Manual of Taming a Morbid Mermaid (44)

Wen Ying also felt a strange itch in her throat, so she slowly curled up and grabbed the soft blanket.

"Oh, I see..." she said, feigning nonchalance. "I thought you wouldn't admit it."

"I can't deny it, but I easily feel embarrassed when you're around," Liang Muqi said with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"And," he paused, lowering his gaze to look at her, "you seem to prefer an honest little fish, so I don't want to have any secrets from you either."

"Xiaoyu, Liang Muxi, isn't it all you?" Wen Ying fell backward, almost hitting the headboard, and Liang Muxi reached out to stop her.

Wen Ying shrank under the covers, leaving only her eyes showing.

The first time I saw Liang Muqi, who had regained her human memories but retained her mermaid body, the contrast was striking and the sense of dissonance was strong.

Wen Ying stared at his profile, and after a while, the subtle embarrassment slowly subsided.

"How are you feeling now...?"

Liang Muqi: "Very good."

"What do you mean by 've calmed down'?" Wen Ying asked.

“Very calm,” Liang Muqi said, her ears turning red.

"Could I ask you to go to the living room and get me a glass of water?" Wen Ying cleared her throat. "I'm feeling a little thirsty."

“Okay, sure.” Liang Muqi looked at her too, “But you have to turn around first, I might need to straighten my clothes.”

Wen Ying gave an "oh," turned over, and buried her face in the blanket. There was a rustling sound behind her.

She counted down the seconds in her mind, but her heartbeat kept disrupting her rhythm.

On the sixth count, Liang Muqi gently touched her through the blanket, and Wen Ying emerged, her vision clearing again.

Ms. Ye had traditional clothing from the local area of ​​Haiya sent to them. Because the lower body is a fishtail, it is not appropriate to wear trousers on land, but rather it resembles ancient attire.

The shirt was tucked into a belt, narrowing the waist, and over it was a thin, misty gray brocade robe, similar in color to the fishtail.

The hem of her dress was faintly embroidered with patterns, and when Wen Ying looked over, she saw churning white waves.

"Is this a good outfit?" Liang Muqi waited for her evaluation, seemingly a little awkward, and shifted her shoulders slightly.

“Very…” Wen Ying’s cheeks were a little hot, so she quickly buried half of her face down. “Beautiful.”

"Okay, sure." Liang Muqi's smile relaxed, and she straightened her cuffs. "I'll go get you some water."

Liang Muqi turned and left, while Wen Ying remained hidden under the covers, watching his retreating figure.

Whether as a human or a mermaid, Liang Muxi's appearance is outstanding, and no one understands her better than Wen Ying.

But seeing him in this outfit today, she realized that Liang Muxi's black and white outfits had always been a weakness, but he made up for it all with his genius face.

The warm, gentle color in front of him perfectly complemented his temperament. Wen Ying had already decided how to spend the second sum of money in that card.

When she gets back, she's going to change all the ugly clothes in Liang Muxi's wardrobe.

When Liang Muqi returned from getting water, Wen Ying held the cup and took a big gulp.

The warm liquid slid into my mouth, and the nerve endings that had been dormant all night were awakened again. My lips could feel nothing, but the root of my tongue still ached slightly.

"I'm really suffering from severe water and soil incompatibility," Wen Ying muttered softly, holding her cup. "I wonder if I'll be able to buy watermelon frost when I go out later."

Liang Muqi stood by the bed, his gaze falling on her lips before shifting away.

"I'm sorry," he suddenly said.

"Why are you apologizing again?" Wen Ying turned around, her eyes full of doubt. "A new day has just begun. You only woke up ten minutes earlier than me, and you've already done so many bad things?"

Liang Muqi started coughing again, quite violently, so Wen Ying handed him the cup.

"Aren't you going to drink it?" Liang Muqi reached out and took it.

Wen Ying nodded, her fingers unconsciously touching the corner of her lips. Liang Muxi looked at her for a few seconds, then finished drinking the rest of her water.

Liang Muqi went to wash up, while Wen Ying stayed in the bedroom and changed her clothes.

The wheelchair was quite far from the bed, so she sat on the edge of the bed and tried to hook it with her foot, but she didn't use enough force and the wheelchair was pushed even further away.

Liang Muqi came in at this moment, and Wen Ying called his name, wanting Liang Muqi to pull the wheelchair closer.

But he seemed not to see the wheelchair that had hit the wall. He went straight to the bedside, bent down to pick up the slippers on the floor, put them on Wen Ying, and then carried her to the sink to brush her teeth and wash her face.

“Actually, I can stand here for a while without any problem, what do you think?” Feeling refreshed on the new day, Wen Ying’s head was no longer so dizzy. She looked at Liang Muxi in the mirror. “I’m very fast, it won’t take me more than five minutes.”

“That makes a lot of sense, you’re right.” Liang Muqi never questioned the academic genius. She looked at the toothpaste foam on her chin in the mirror, gently rubbed it with her fingertip, and then stood in front of the mirror for five minutes.

Breakfast was served at the hotel, and the waiter pushing the food cart was the same one from last night, glancing at Wen Ying as he set out the tableware.

"Why are all the mermaids here so enthusiastic?" Wen Ying wondered to herself, but remained outwardly nonchalant: "Do you have something to say to me?"

"Dear human guest," the mermaid hesitated, "could you please sign your name for me?"

"Huh?" Wen Ying was surprised, almost thinking that the Chronicles of Flying Birds had become popular here.

However, the mermaid obviously didn't suddenly decide to ask for an autograph because he had heard her sing. He scratched his head sheepishly and talked about the news that had been circulating in the live house last night.

The mermaids were convinced that the mysterious visitor who suddenly appeared on the sea cliff was definitely related to a fairy tale, or at the very least, a princess.

"They say that if they can receive your blessing, they might gain a treasure more precious than longevity," the mermaid said cheerfully, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Wen Ying turned to look at Liang Muxi, who was already sitting at the dining table, unpacking the strip of medicine brought by the waiter.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Liang Muqi raised her head and quietly gave her a look.

Wen Ying: "But I'm just an ordinary human being. Princesses and such things happened hundreds of years ago."

"Then give me a simple blessing," the mermaid said, putting her hands together in prayer.

Wen accepted the note, wrote down a blessing, signed her name in cursive script in the lower right corner, followed by a picture of flying birds and a chronicle.

The mermaid asked curiously, "What kind of symbol is this?"

“A bird.” Wen Ying thought of the promise Ms. Ye Aimin had made, and without explaining much, simply said, “One day in the future, you will definitely be able to see it with your own eyes.”

The waiter left with the autographed items, leaving a pile of snacks on the table.

With her eyes wide open and eyes wide, Wen Ying picked up each of the colorful packages and examined them with curiosity, then flipped them over to check the ingredient list.

Liang Muqi reminded her to eat first, and then eat snacks after taking the pills.

"I'll just take a look." Wen Ying then put down what she was holding and sat down next to him.

Liang Muxi didn't pick up his chopsticks either, as if he had been waiting for Wen Ying.

Wen Ying picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and put it in her mouth. Liang Muqi also picked one up, her gaze falling on the transparent membrane between her fingers before she looked away.

"What did you just write to that mermaid?" Liang Muqi suddenly asked.

"I wish him wealth, riches, and happiness every day." Wen Ying chewed and picked up another one, finding it delicious. "Blessings are just a few words over and over again. I'm just an ordinary person, so my blessings are also very ordinary."

"Not ordinary."

"Ok?"

Wen Ying held her chopsticks, as if she had thought of something: "Indeed, those few sentences I said to you before were not ordinary."

Liang Muqi turned her head to look at her and said warmly, "It was something I racked my brains to come up with."

She wanted to feign annoyance and frown, but before she could furrow her brow, she couldn't help but smile.

Liang Muxi chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

“Of course, special people deserve special blessings.” Wen Ying nodded, then changed the subject, “By the way, how are you feeling these days?”

Her concern caught Liang Muqi off guard, and her wrist trembled, causing the food she was holding with her chopsticks to fall and land on the table.

"...It seems it's not over yet." Wen Ying coughed lightly, took out a tissue to wipe the table, "It's okay, calm down a bit, I believe the morning classes will solve these problems soon."

"Okay, sure." Liang Muqi picked up her cup and took a sip of water. "I'm calm. Thank you for your concern."

"You're welcome." Wen Ying also lowered her head to drink her porridge.

At 8:30, Ye Aimin sent a staff member named Mermaid to pick them up and take them back to the association.

Ms. Ye was also somewhat surprised that Liang Muxi's intellectual level had returned to normal. She arranged for another blood test and then took Liang Muxi to participate in training according to yesterday's schedule.

Transformation techniques are a secret of the mermaid race. Wen Ying did not enter the classroom but stayed in the coffee shop outside.

The clothes she was wearing were similar to Liang Muqi's women's style, with a very fluffy and swaying skirt that looked a bit like a mermaid's tail at first glance, so the coffee shop waiter did not treat her as a human.

However, Wen Ying's tail seemed rather short to the mermaid, making it appear as if she was underdeveloped. The mermaid kindly suggested that if Wen Ying wanted to grow taller, she should switch from drinking coffee to drinking high-calcium milk.

Wen Ying said "thank you" with restraint.

Halfway through their coffee, Liang Muqi returned, transforming from the naive Xiaoyu into a reliable version. Liang Muqi displayed her academic genius nature, learning everything very quickly.

"Next is physiology class." Wen Ying leaned on the table. "Go quickly and finish it in one go. I'll wait for you here."

Liang Muqi watched her bite the straw and said, "Ms. Ye said it would be best if you came with me."

"Hmm?" Wen Ying raised her face and pointed to herself. "Me?"

Liang Muqi answered "yes," and Wen Ying's straw slid out of her mouth. She heard him continue, "Because you are my partner."

“I see…” Wen Ying slid off the shell chair and back into her wheelchair.

Liang Muqi prepared to push the wheelchair, but Wen Ying, in a daze, pressed the automatic mode button and continued to slide towards the door.

Liang Muxi touched his ear, picked up the half-finished coffee on the table, and followed behind her.

Compared to where we had our physical exams yesterday, the physiology classroom was much simpler, with white walls, a white ceiling, and a large blackboard with a square display screen.

It seemed that only the two students came to class. The teacher stood on the podium and let them in when he heard a knock on the door.

The two sat down at the same table, and the teacher opened the PowerPoint presentation: "Okay, look at the blackboard."

Several lines of text appeared on the screen. Wen Ying looked up and immediately froze.

"Students, do you often hear this kind of statement in your lives? Whether it's in literary works or video software, there are always such records, saying that mermaids have a certain physical structure..." The teacher made a peace sign.

An innovative introduction! Straightforward language! A chilling art style!

Wen Ying slowly turned her head to look at her deskmate, Liang Muqi, who was holding the pen she was about to use to take notes, her gaze also stiffening.

In the quiet classroom, only the mermaid on the podium remained calm. "Many teenagers believe these rumors and often go to the hospital to ask, 'Doctor, other mermaids have two, but I only have one. Am I abnormal?' Some even say that female mermaids shed a layer of skin during their menstrual cycle and can control their periods..."

The teacher then slammed the blackboard shut: "Rumors! They're all rumors!"

"So what is the scientific truth? Let's turn to the first page and start with the mermaid's body structure..." The teacher noticed Wen Ying, who was looking down, and said, "That student, if you didn't bring your book, you can read it with your deskmate."

"..." Wen Ying said, "Okay, teacher." She lowered her head and wheeled the wheelchair over.

Liang Muqi also moved to the side, with the book stall set up in the middle: "Can you see it?"

Wen Ying: "Um...yes."

Liang Muqi: "Okay."

Wen Ying paused, then paused again, and couldn't help but lean close to his ear: "Do I really have to hear all this?"

Looking at her expression, Liang Muxi thought about it seriously and said, "Otherwise, you can wait for me outside, and I can study by myself."

"Forget it...wouldn't that be too lonely?" Wen Ying made up her mind, clenching her fist. "Besides, society is progressing; we're no longer in an era where sex is taboo!"

Liang Muqi smiled silently.

Wen Ying composed herself, rallied her spirits, and listened attentively to the entire lesson.

However, on the other hand, this teacher was only special in the very beginning of the introduction. In the remaining forty minutes, he talked about very necessary background knowledge, and as a human being, Wen Ying also felt that he benefited a lot.

The question of mermaids' mating season is answered in detail in the course. Mermaids usually reach this stage upon reaching adulthood, although some mermaids with developmental delays may experience this later.

Teacher: "Statistics show that this period lasts from a week to more than a month, once a year. However, Haiya has menstrual leave, so it basically does not affect his work."

"During this period, merfolk, regardless of gender, will have a very strong possessive desire for their partners. If this desire cannot be relieved, they will become sad, irritable, and extremely anxious."

Wen Ying recalled Liang Muxi's separation anxiety and turned to him, saying, "In that case, after we get back to shore, the longest we can be apart is no more than ten minutes."

Liang Muqi stopped writing and looked up: "Why ten minutes?"

"Go to the bathroom during the ten-minute break..." Wen Ying looked at his hand, "Twenty minutes is fine too. I need a little time to shower and wash my hair. As for drying my hair, I'll leave it to you. I'm not very good at using your hairdryer."

Liang Muqi smiled and agreed.

Teacher: "However, with the advancement of technology, some mermaids suggested that this stage was too primitive and sounded very undignified, so the inhibitor was invented."

The PowerPoint presentation switched to instructions on how to use the medication: "This type of medication is already on the market and has been updated to the third generation. The harm to the body has been minimized. It can be reimbursed with medical insurance. However, the medication is only an aid. Mermaids who are getting married should spend their time with their partners."

After class, the two received the manual and medicine included in the course. Wen Ying picked up the small box containing the medicine and looked at it over and over for a while, and once again inquired about Liang Muxi's health.

Liang Muqi still maintained that he was "very calm," and Wen Ying asked with skepticism, "Really?"

Liang Muqi then automatically retracted his previous statement and instead asked her, "Would you like more coffee?"

Wen Ying hesitated, then looked at the straw she had bitten so badly that it said, "Who takes medicine with coffee? You should at least drink water."

Liang Muqi nodded.

As Wen Ying went downstairs, she was still thinking about the lesson she had just learned. The elevator doors opened and closed, and Ye Aimin was at the entrance talking to several mermaids.

Liang Muqi pushed Wen Ying over, and the eyes of the mermaids all fell on them. Ms. Ye also turned around and called out Liang Muqi's name.

“Muqi,” Ye Aimin said, “These are your family members from Haiya. They’ve come to see you.”

Wen Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Liang Muxi's expression, which was very calm.

Wen Ying turned back and looked at the male mermaids next to Ye Aimin.

You can't tell someone's age just by looking at their face. The person standing in the middle is wearing a dark Zhongshan suit and is very low-key, but judging from his aura, he is not as simple as he appears.

"Hello." The other person spoke first, without saying "you all." Wen Ying looked down and realized that he had not followed the social etiquette of the seabed either, without nodding or even slightly flicking his tail.

This mermaid seemed somewhat arrogant. Despite Wen Ying's undisguised scrutiny, he didn't even glance at her, treating her like an insignificant wisp of air, and calmly focused only on Liang Muxi.

“I am Mu Chen, your father.”
