The Little Mermaid Fell for the Jiaoren 89

Chapter 89: Boyfriend

It was the kind of like where you wanted to become mates.

Little Mute likes… likes him.

He couldn’t quite describe the feeling. It was as if, in an instant, Deng Xi’s entire world was filled with countless bubbles. They rose from the dark, cold seabed, and slowly reached the sunlight that shone into the sea, becoming colorful and dazzling under the light, dizzying and hazy.

But bubbles would shatter with a single poke. They were very fragile. Deng Xi still didn’t know how to protect them from shattering, nor did he know how to make these bubbles rise forever and ever.

He just felt that his heart was a little full, a little stuffy. He couldn’t tell if his accelerated heartbeat was because he was happy, or if it was aching.

But liking someone was clearly a happy thing.

He also liked the little mute very much.

But his like was different from the little mute’s like. Or rather, he didn’t know if the like he had for a friend at the beginning had changed.

Over time, perhaps it was because he had just come to a strange world and could only rely on one person. Perhaps it was because they were each other’s company every day when they opened their eyes. Every drop, every bit had become an enzyme, slowly fermenting this like.

Even the master himself could not discover it.

Deng Xi’s chin was still dripping with tears, and the corners of his eyes were a little red and swollen from crying. His gaze on the silver Jiaoren was clueless and dazed.

Si Jisheng waited patiently for a long, long time. His silver eyes gradually dimmed with the passage of time. His gaze was still very focused, but he couldn’t help but lower his eyes.

He leaned back against the wall behind him as if he had lost his strength. His consciousness, which had been fighting against his Jiaoren instincts, was exhausted to the extreme.

But the moment his silver eyes lowered, Deng Xi suddenly felt a great panic. It was as if if he didn’t say something, he and the little mute would be like this forever.

They couldn’t kiss, couldn’t hug.

Although they lived together, they were like strangers.

“I…” Deng Xi paused for a moment, his voice very small. “It’s different.” But soon, he mustered his courage and boldly held the little mute’s hand. “Little Mute is different.”

The little merman used his own understanding to clumsily say, “No one else can, only you.”

“It can only be you.”

He sniffled and held back the tears he hadn’t finished crying. Because he had cried, his voice was still a little stuffy. “It’s not because Little Mute caused my mating season, so you have to help me solve it.”

“Because Little Mute didn’t do it on purpose. You were sick, and you didn’t want to. I can’t blame it on you.”

The silver Jiaoren was also a victim.

“It’s because, it’s because…” he repeated twice, a little embarrassed, and took a deep breath. “Even when I’m not in my mating season, I really like to hug you.”

“I don’t hate it when Little Mute kisses me.”

“I don’t hate mating either.”

“I won’t hate anything Little Mute does to me.” Deng Xi let out a hot breath. “Including, including that.”

He thought seriously. “If I can’t find Little Mute and have to find another merman, even if my mating season will make me very uncomfortable and strange, I will endure it by myself.”

Only the silver Jiaoren was special.

A hint of a light smile appeared in Si Jisheng’s eyes. Even though he was in great pain, the palm that was holding the back of Deng Xi’s head unconsciously stroked his soft golden hair and asked, guidingly, “So?”

Deng Xi stopped again. He thought for a long, long time.

But it was okay. He knew that the little mute would wait for him.

“Is not hating the same as liking?”

“No.”

After getting a negative answer, Deng Xi blinked his eyes, at a loss. The words he had thought of were disrupted. If it was, then he wouldn’t mind trying.

Si Jisheng, of course, could have said yes. He slightly raised his eyes, and his tone was slow. “You can only accept me, it doesn’t mean you also like me. You should know what mates do besides mating.”

Deng Xi said incoherently, “They’ll, they’ll have little babies.” His face was about to burn. “After mating, the female merman will be pregnant with a little baby. After the little merman is born, the mates will raise it together.”

But he and the little mute were both male. Even if they became mates, they couldn’t have little babies.

In the understanding of a primitive race, the most important thing between mates was to reproduce.

“No.”

He still got a negative answer. Deng Xi looked at the little mute in a daze. Si Jisheng said in a low voice, “It’s not like that in the human world. Becoming mates is not for the sake of reproduction.”

Deng Xi pursed his lips. “Then what is it for?”

Si Jisheng said, “It’s to be able to accompany the person you like, without having to avoid others, to be able to kiss and hug openly in front of people. A beautiful love will receive the blessings of many people.”

“I like you, so I want to have a life that belongs to us. This is the correct cause and effect logic.”

Deng Xi lowered his eyes. “Is it okay even if we never have a little baby?”

But even if the little mute were female, or if he were female, their races were not the same. Even if they had a little baby, it would not be a merman or a Jiaoren.

It seemed that whether they had a little baby or not really didn’t matter.

Deng Xi thought in a daze.

“So why can’t same-sex people become mates?” Si Jisheng didn’t think this was a concern at all. He only cared about whether Deng Xi’s like was a simple dependence, or a deeper kind of inseparable.

He hoped that one day, Deng Xi could discover and realize it on his own, and then the little merman would shyly and boldly run to him and ask if they could be together.

He did not want his personal feelings to affect the clueless little merman, and to have him, in a state of confusion, mistakenly think that that was like, and so be with him.

That was even more vile and beastly than the Jiaoren race.

He had given Deng Xi many ways out.

Deng Xi had met many people and had made many friends. Even if he left him and wanted to stay in the human world, he still had that one hundred billion to maintain his life.

The golden-haired, blue-tailed little merman was very dazzling.

Even if he were alone, with the existence of those fans on the star network, he would not feel lonely.

He had considered everything. All he could do was wait. But at this moment, Si Jisheng did not want to wait any longer.

“Do you want to try?”

“Try with me.”

The rough pad of his finger, which was resting on the phosphorescent membrane, moved slightly and began to assert its presence again. The liquid slowly dyed his finger bone joint wet along his fingertip.

Deng Xi, who had not yet reacted, instantly blushed. He stammered and stuttered, “How, how do we try?”

Si Jisheng closed his eyes with restraint. “In the human world, before becoming legal mates, there is a trial period. At this time, I am what they say, your boyfriend.” The Marshal’s pure black mechanical finger sleeve was lying alone on the ground. His deep voice was like a coax. “But I will still fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a mate should have.”

It was clearly a very upright sentence, but the next sentence that accompanied it was extremely vulgar and obscene. “For example, helping you get through your mating season.”

“After the trial period ends, the choice is still yours.”

Try.

Let’s try.

Deng Xi didn’t know if it was the dissatisfaction of his mating season, or if he himself wanted to kiss the little mute. Besides agreeing, there was no second option.

The fragile bubble seemed to have suddenly found a way to maintain itself. He simply couldn’t refuse.

His head, which had just been lucid after being discovered, had become dizzy again. Every breath he exhaled was sticky and hot. Deng Xi thought in a daze, how could he press against his phosphorescent membrane and ask him like this? He had no strength to push him away.

On the contrary, he wanted to…

The little merman’s eyes were red-rimmed. He sluggishly softened in the silver Jiaoren’s embrace, raised his hands, and tightly hugged the other’s neck. His soft, tender, and hot face was pressed against his cold skin, and the breath he exhaled sprayed on the man’s rolling Adam’s apple.

His voice was so small it was almost inaudible.

“A little deeper, okay?”

“Boyfriend.”

His little mute boyfriend.

A sticky sound suddenly sounded in the dim space. The breath that Deng Xi had exhaled was blocked by the silver Jiaoren’s lips and tongue. It was a kiss that was as deep as his fingertips.

It was a little cold.

The silver Jiaoren’s body temperature was too low, but as they kissed, he would be warmed by the little merman.

Deng Xi began to shed tears again, and could only let out a small sob in the gaps between the kisses. His blue eyes were completely dazed, and he couldn’t even control his breathing.

It was too much…

So bad.

So fierce.

He was about to drown in this embrace.

A merman’s mating season was very long and could not be passed in a day or two. The treatment room went from dim to completely dark, and it entered the dead of night.

Deng Xi’s lips were kissed red and swollen, and his fragile phosphorescent membrane was a little unable to close, even though he had done nothing.

The treatment room was equipped with a bathroom. The little merman was curled up in a bathtub full of water, hugging his washed legs. His golden hair was hanging down in the water, and he was clumsily trying to put his long hair on the outside of the bathtub.

His hair was too long. If it got wet, it would take a long, long time to dry. It was very troublesome.

But if one looked closely, one would find that he had been repeating this action. He was a little flustered and at a loss, not knowing what to do, and did not dare to make a sound, let alone look to the side.

By his ear was the sound of the shower head rushing down cold water.

The water was very cold. Deng Xi, who was soaking in the warm bathtub, could feel the cold air coming from the other side. But, for a normal person, the cold water had a very slight effect on the silver Jiaoren. The effects of the drug had not yet passed, and Si Jisheng’s silver tail was still there. The shower head had even been adjusted by Deng Xi. He could only lean against the wall and sit on the bathroom floor, letting the cold water sprinkle on his silver fish tail.

The action was mechanical and repetitive.

His silver eyes were even always closed, and his expression was cold. No emotional fluctuations could be seen at all.

Only from the bulging blue veins on the side of his neck could a hint of emotion be seen.

He had only taken a glance.

Deng Xi was so scared he was about to sink into the wide bathtub. His gills popped out, and he was breathing under the surface of the water.

It was the barbs.

The barbs on the surface of his tongue.

The kiss was already a little painful. How could he, how could he… Deng Xi’s ears rang, and his whole body was flushed pink.

How could the little mute do this next to him?
