After Becoming a Merman, I Became a Heartthrob 54

Chapter 54: Rainstorm

Dark clouds hung heavily in the sky. The crescent moon only faintly shone through a crack in the clouds, and not a single star could be seen.

The weather forecast for tonight said there would be a heavy rainstorm.

Using the light from his phone, Chi Xiasheng saw Su Chengjian in front of the villa’s iron gate. His eyes were full of vigilance and confusion. “What are you doing here?”

Su Chengjian held a cigarette in his hand. The white smoke around him completely dissipated into the dark night. His voice was a little hoarse, as if it had come from a very far place. “Is this where you live?”

Chi Xiasheng had thought he was here to see him, but from the sound of it, it didn’t seem to be the case.

“Yes. Can you move aside? You’re blocking my way.”

Su Chengjian glanced at the villa and frowned deeply. He thought of the address of Wen Shu that his secretary had found and was a little unsure.

Could it be that I’ve come to the wrong place?

But he was sensible enough not to linger and got up to leave.

Although he hadn’t found Wen Shu, as long as she had appeared, she must have left a trace in this city. He firmly believed that he would eventually have a chance to meet her.

Seeing him leave, Chi Xiasheng wrinkled his nose in confusion and waved away the smell of smoke he had left behind.

When he was changing his shoes at the entrance, Wen Nian pounced on him with a cry. “Quick, quick! I’m starving!”

Chi Xiasheng handed him the food and watched him wolf it down in the living room, asking, “Didn’t you order takeout for lunch?”

Wen Nian stuffed the fried noodles into his mouth and answered with a full mouth, “No, I forgot~”

Chi Xiasheng barely understood what he was saying and nodded helplessly. “Did you forget because you were playing games again? You can’t do this next time. It’s not good for your health. By the way, there was a person standing outside the door before. Did you see him?”

Wen Nian swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded. “I saw him. But Mom said to ignore him and let him stay outside. It’s going to rain later, so it’s just right to drench him!”

Chi Xiasheng said, “Ah.” “Ah, did he offend Auntie Wen?”

Wen Nian didn’t know the inside story, but he thought it must be so. “When Mom came back, her face was so stinky and cold. I was almost scared to death.”

Chi Xiasheng thought for a moment, wondering if something had happened at the wedding during the day.

But for some reason, he always felt that the two of them seemed to have been entangled for a long time, with a feeling that others could not integrate into.

But he was not a curious person, and since it involved the private affairs of his elders, he would not ask too much. So, after washing up, he went to bed first.

Before he fell asleep, he unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Sheng Sheng.

Although it was only a very short two words, “Good night,” Chi Xiasheng’s face still flushed red, and he inevitably thought of what had happened at dinner.

He let out a small “ah” and rolled around in bed with his quilt, still unable to calm the restlessness in his heart.

How could this be? To suddenly have such lewd thoughts about someone!

He really couldn’t figure it out, but he had also experienced the horror of a merman’s heat. It turned out that desire was really so fierce that he couldn’t resist it at all.

After a long while, he finally calmed down a little. He poked his head, which was already a mess like a bird’s nest, out of the quilt and stared at the two words on the phone screen, wondering what to reply.

And after what happened today, would CEO Sheng think I’m an indecent artist?

He was extremely conflicted in his mind, wanting to explain to Sheng Sheng on WeChat, but he couldn’t seem to find a good reason.

And what if he didn’t explain it clearly and made him misunderstand that he had the idea of using his body to get ahead…

He buried his face in the pillow in frustration and isolated himself for a while before he lifted his head.

In the end, after careful consideration, he also sent two “good nights” back. Afraid that his attitude would seem too cold, he even added a cute face emoji at the end.

Almost as soon as he sent it, Sheng Sheng saw the message.

He looked at the cute emoji following “good night,” and his mood also improved a little, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift.

Xiaxia’s “good night” is so cute~

Sheng Sheng stared at the emoji for a long time before he put away his phone with a satisfied heart.

After thinking it over, he called Liu Secretary. He first asked a few questions about the company and then casually asked, “When is Chi Xiasheng coming to the company to shoot the endorsement ad?”

When Liu Secretary received the call and was asked about company matters, he was so scared he thought Sheng Sheng had been possessed by another demon. But when he heard him ask about Chi Xiasheng, he thought to himself, As expected.

He just said, How could Sheng Sheng ask about work for no reason?

You know, his participation in the company was basically zero. He didn’t care much about the company’s financial reports and budgets, and he didn’t even care if the company made money.

The purpose of building this company in the first place was that he wanted to legally cash out the gold, silver, and jewels stored in his mustard seed space, and also to have another identity to walk around in the human world.

But he never expected that the little demons under him were so capable, making the company bigger and bigger. The money he had invested before had already multiplied hundreds of thousands of times.

Liu Secretary pulled his thoughts back, cleared his throat, and then began to reply to Sheng Sheng. “Boss, I’ve already discussed it with Mr. Chi Xiasheng’s agent. We’ll endorse that diamond bracelet first. Then, when the response is enthusiastic, we’ll further announce his identity as the spokesperson for the entire line, step by step, so as not to cause too much impact on Chi Xiasheng’s career. We both plan to start the endorsement the day after tomorrow. It will be filmed in the studio of the entertainment subsidiary.”

After clearly telling Sheng Sheng the time and place, the call between the two of them ended.

Sheng Sheng lay on the bed, thinking that he would be able to see Chi Xiasheng the day after tomorrow, and he couldn’t help but start to look forward to it.

He was so excited that he even transformed back into his original form.

This original form was quite similar to his most original form. His black fluff transformed into hard scales, and his two vertical pupils carried a hint of danger. The weight of his body directly crushed the bed.

Sheng Sheng shook his head and climbed out of the ruined bed, then simply curled up on the bedroom floor to sleep.

At night, there was lightning and thunder, and a torrential rain began to fall.

Sheng Sheng opened his eyes from his sleep and stared at the window. After thinking for a while, he still decided to go to Chi Xiasheng’s place to have a look.

He had spent a lot of time with him before, and he always felt that his condition was not very good on rainy nights.

Previously, when it rained, he would always sit by the window, stroking his head, his figure lonely, saying, “Luckily, I still have you.”

Sheng Sheng’s body shrank into a furry ball. He even forgot to use a barrier and directly leaped out of the window.

Chi Xiasheng was awakened by the lightning. He looked at the swaying and howling weather outside the window and seemed to have returned to the night when he had a high fever.

At that time, he was lying alone in his bedroom, even thinking that he would burn to death that night.

At that time, everyone in the Su family was gathered around Su Chimian.

Chi Xiasheng was not actually afraid of rainy days, but he was afraid that when he woke up, he would find that everything he had experienced was a dream.

He hadn’t turned into a merman, he was still the unfavored son of the Su family, and he didn’t even have the courage to fight against them, just shrinking in a corner that no one would find, waiting for the rainstorm to pass.

He walked to the window, his mood in a mess from the storm. He subconsciously wanted to pat Little Black’s head, but he found that he had already run away.

Chi Xiasheng was feeling down about not being able to find him, but the next second, he found a pitch-black thing lying on his window.

It was only because he had been staring at the window that he could see the black that was slightly different from the night. He quickly opened the window and called Little Black’s name in surprise. “Little Black, you’re back!”

He picked up the little black dog, which was already drenched, and quickly took him to the bathroom to give him a warm bath.

“Why did you come back? You knew it was raining outside, so you came home after you had enough fun? You can’t do this next time. You don’t know how worried I was…”

Seeing his lost and found little puppy, Chi Xiasheng couldn’t help but say a few more words. At the end, his voice was even a little hoarse.

“…If you do this again, I won’t look for you.”

Perhaps the rainy night had brought back the sad memories of that time. Chi Xiasheng’s mood was on the verge of collapse, and his eyes were a little sore.

Little Black had never seen him sad before. His impression of him had always been cool, beautiful, and resilient.

Even when he was once pushed to a dead end by the Su family, he had just lowered his eyes and quietly looked ahead.

But Sheng Sheng thought, How could he not be sad? They are all human. It was just that Chi Xiasheng liked to hide his emotions and not let anyone see his vulnerability.

After all, he couldn’t retreat. Once he did, there would be no one behind him to support him.

Sheng Sheng’s heart also couldn’t help but feel a little sour, a dull pain in his heart. He lifted his paw and placed it on Chi Xiasheng’s face.

Don’t be sad. I’ve always been by your side.

No matter what you do, I will be your biggest support.

You won’t be that little fish that no one likes anymore. I will always protect you.

Chi Xiasheng was splashed in the face by Sheng Sheng’s paw, but he felt the warmth from his little hand, sighed, and held his little paw in his hand.

“You can’t run around anymore in the future.”

Sheng Sheng nodded vigorously.

After giving Little Black a bath, Chi Xiasheng saw Pei Zhixuan, who had come back in the middle of the night, still wearing a suit from an event, knocking on his door.

“I came to see if you were asleep. I brought you a glass of milk. The thunder is a bit loud tonight. If you’re scared, you can sleep with Niannian.”

Wen Nian also came over with his pillow, shouting, “Let’s sleep together, let’s sleep together! I’m afraid of thunder!”

Before Chi Xiasheng could react, Wen Nian had already slipped into his bedroom and looked at him with blinking eyes. “Let’s sleep together, Xiaxia!”

Chi Xiasheng guessed their considerate intentions, and his heart bubbled with warm water, flowing warmly through his entire heart.

“Alright, let’s sleep together.”

Wen Nian cheered and pounced on his bed. But when he looked up happily, he met the eyes of the furry ball in the middle of the bed.

“Awoof! A dog!”

Chi Xiasheng quickly comforted him. “Little Black is back. He was probably drenched by the rain. I just finished washing and drying him.”

Although Wen Nian had a psychological shadow from being bitten by a dog, he was not so afraid of such a small puppy that would fall over with a poke.

But he still stayed far away, one fish and one dog, sitting at opposite ends.

Seeing this, Pei Zhixuan just shook his head with a laugh. Seeing that it was late, he told Chi Xiasheng to drink his milk and go to sleep.

Chi Xiasheng nodded and saw him off. He lay on the bed and listened to Wen Nian chattering about various matters of raising a dog.

Amidst the noise, Chi Xiasheng heard Wen Shu walking over in her crystal slippers. She pushed open the door and, after checking the situation, she left.

He smiled and, amidst Wen Nian’s chattering, he fell asleep.

As Wen Nian was talking, he also became sleepy and, with a tilt of his head, he fell asleep, snoring.

Little Black was curled up next to Chi Xiasheng, a furry ball. Underneath, his small eyes were wide open, staring at Wen Nian, preventing him from crossing the line!

Although Sheng Sheng didn’t care about this stupid fish, and Chi Xiasheng didn’t have that kind of intention towards him, he still stared at him closely.

After all, the two of them were lying on the same bed, which was enough to make him jealous.

Once Wen Nian turned over and touched Chi Xiasheng, Sheng Sheng immediately bristled and pushed his arm back to the side.

He couldn’t stop him from sleeping with Wen Nian, but he could definitely stop them from touching.

After guarding for a whole night, it was only when Chi Xiasheng opened his eyes in a daze the next day that Sheng Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chi Xiasheng slept very soundly this time. Perhaps because he knew he was surrounded by warmth, even his dreams were sweet.

Looking at the warm sunlight streaming in through the window, he smiled at Little Black. “Good morning, Little Black.”

Seeing his smile, Sheng Sheng felt as if he had drunk wine, a little dizzy and light-headed.

His two small feet tripped over each other. He took two steps unsteadily and fell off the bed on his back.

His little head hit the soft carpet, so it didn’t hurt, but he felt even more dizzy.
