The Little Mermaid Fell for the Jiaoren 91


Chapter 91: Goodnight Kiss

Deng Xi did not get an answer from the little mute.

After dinner at home, he secretly searched the star network by himself, and typed in some words like “how do humans have sex” on his comm.

In the interstellar age, sexual knowledge was everywhere with a single search. The more he looked, the redder the tips of his ears became. Not only between heterosexuals, but there was even “popular science” on homosexuality.

And after he had finished searching and had opened the mall again, under the push of big data, the screen was filled with the devices that the little mute had said could help him get through his mating season.

With a “thump,” the comm that Deng Xi was holding fell to the ground, attracting Si Jisheng’s attention.

The little merman frantically picked it up.

He had already learned how to set the blue screen to be visible only to himself. The little mute couldn’t see it. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!

Deng Xi forced himself to be calm, and with the gaze on his back, he hid behind the large, rose-red shell in the living room, and sat with his knees hugged, a little nervous.

He typed very slowly and seriously—”What do humans do after they get together?”

The answers given by the star network were dazzling.

Deng Xi read in a small voice, “Dating, shopping, watching movies, giving gifts…”

With every word he said, the speed of his reading would slow down by a point.

Deng Xi suddenly discovered that the little mute seemed to have done all these things with him, a long, long time ago, before he had known anything.

When he didn’t even know what an indirect kiss was.

Deng Xi pursed his lips, then suddenly climbed up and ran to the front of the sofa, and pounced over. “Little Mute.”

Si Jisheng put down the terminal in his hand and hugged him. “What’s wrong?”

Deng Xi looked at him. “Those two boys are actually a couple, right?”

Si Jisheng paused for a moment, not understanding Deng Xi’s meaning.

Deng Xi’s eyelids curved. “It’s the movie that Little Mute took me to see. I know everything. You did it on purpose, right?”

Si Jisheng remembered. After a moment, he nodded faintly.

Deng Xi couldn’t help but reveal a dimple. “I fell asleep last time. I’m sorry, I didn’t see the end with Little Mute.”

“Can we watch it again?”

Before Si Jisheng could agree, Deng Xi had already thought it through. “Let’s go on a date!” He was so excited he was about to jump up.

“Mmm.” He agreed. “But we have to wait a few days. We can’t go out yet.”

Deng Xi lowered his eyelids in disappointment, but soon became happy again. “It’s okay. I’ll wait for Little Mute to finish his work.”

He would drive all the bad guys away.

The large screen in the living room showed without warning, “Watch it at home?”

Deng Xi was stunned for a moment, then cheered with delight.

On the other side, the adjutant was still waiting for the Marshal’s reply. “Marshal, are you sure you want to announce it?”

“Marshal?”

“Marshal??”

Five minutes later, the adjutant received a short voice message, “We’ll deal with it tomorrow.” Besides the Marshal’s cold voice, he also heard a youth’s clear and happy voice, with an expectant tone, “Can I eat snacks? The star network says you have to eat them when you watch a movie…”

The voice gradually faded away.

And also the sound of the youth jumping down from the man’s arms and running away.

Because he was holding someone, he had rarely sent a voice message.

The adjutant, who had been working overtime until now, was at a loss for words. The corner of his eye twitched. He resentfully turned off his comm and also went home to hug his wife.

·

The main lights in the living room were turned off, and the dim yellow light made the room extremely dim. After Deng Xi had gotten permission, he took out all the snacks that he could only eat a few times a day from the cabinet. Chocolate, cream bread, cream-filled biscuits… and he even had the little mute make him a cup of fruit juice.

The movie hadn’t even started yet.

Deng Xi was already full. In the end, he could only hold the fruit juice cup and drink it in small sips. When he couldn’t drink anymore, he fell sideways onto the sofa and curled up in the little mute’s arms.

The scale of a same-sex film was not ordinary.

In the darkness, the sound of breathing in the film was faint, with suggestive, intertwined shots, and the intertwined limbs were faintly visible.

Deng Xi’s whole body was a little uncomfortable.

Why was the style at the beginning so different from the end?

He covered his eyes and, with curiosity and shyness, secretly peeked, not at the film, but at the little mute beside him.

Compared to him, Si Jisheng was much calmer. His eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest. When he noticed that the fruit juice cup that Deng Xi had placed on the table was on the edge, he even pushed it in a little.

He casually threw the snack bag that Deng Xi had placed on the table into the trash can. The moment he bent down, a trivial sound suddenly came from by his ear. A wet kiss, with the fresh scent of fruit juice, landed on the corner of his lips.

A touch and then gone.

Deng Xi knelt up from the sofa and lay on the little mute’s back. When he tilted his head, his golden hair fell down in strands. After he had finished kissing, his voice became very light and small. “Between a couple, you can kiss whenever you want, right?”

He also wanted to kiss his boyfriend.

Si Jisheng also turned his head sideways and, in the darkness, touched the corner of Deng Xi’s lips. His touch was very gentle. “Mmm.”

A low, breathy sound.

Deng Xi turned around and sat face to face in the man’s arms.

The little merman was really clingy.

Deng Xi raised his head as if asking for a kiss and affectionately rubbed against the little mute’s straight nose. “I think my mating season is coming again.”

Deng Xi did not transform into his fish tail.

He was led to learn the content he had searched for on the star network today. His thick knuckles were as forceful as if he were exploring.

This posture was really very convenient.

Deng Xi was comfortable, tired, and only needed to wrap his arms around the man’s neck and lie on his broad shoulders, his eyes misty with tears.

“Good night.”

Deng Xi, who was as soft as a pool of water, was carried back to the room. He sank into the soft quilt, and his cleaned body was very refreshed. In a daze, a kiss was placed on his forehead.

“Good… night…”

Deng Xi fell asleep in a daze.

Not long after, Si Jisheng, who was exuding a cold, watery aura, walked out of the bathroom. He did not go to sleep. After he had tucked in the quilt that Deng Xi had kicked away, he turned and left the room.

The lights in the study were turned on again.

It wasn’t until late at night that Si Jisheng sent the newly revised and confirmed agreement to the adjutant.

The adjutant was woken up by the comm’s vibration. After he had opened the message, he immediately got up, quietly walked out of the bedroom, and made a communication to the Marshal. His voice was still thick with sleepiness. “Marshal, are you sure?”

Si Jisheng said calmly, “The research results of the treatment center are already out. With the guarantee of the potion, the《Alien Convention》is highly feasible.”

The adjutant placed his comm on the table and, as expected, put on his military uniform. “The signing of this agreement requires the royal family’s signature. Marshal, what do you need me to do?”

Si Jisheng instructed, “Take this agreement and find the Duke of the Gran clan, the Earl of Noir…” He said a dozen or so names in a row. His silver eyes, because of their overly pale color, were extremely sharp. “They will sign on behalf of the council.”

Besides the Duke of the Gran clan, who had compromised with the Marshal last time because his little son had made a mistake, the military also had leverage on many people.

It was time to take it out.

The adjutant moved quickly, noted them down one by one, and after putting on his military boots, he replied with a “yes” and rushed out the door, driving his flying ship and disappearing into the vast night.

Not long after dawn, the agreement, which had been announced by the Empire’s official and various Imperial planets, instantly topped the star network’s headlines. The second headline was the report on the new gene-suppressing drug developed by the Imperial military.

The third was that the Interstellar Alliance was holding an emergency meeting.

The comment section of this announcement was filled with dense comments: “Who saw the dense signatures of the members of the Imperial royal family’s council at the end of the agreement? This convention is really effective within the Empire.”

“Will there really be an alien school? Will the treatment center that specifically serves aliens also be spread throughout the entire Empire? We usually don’t dare to go out when we’re sick. Am I really not dreaming?”

“This is too sudden. If there are no restrictions on the travel of aliens, what will we normal people do if they suddenly go crazy on the streets???”

“Look at the contents of the convention upstairs. Didn’t it say that aliens with a low mental sea will only get sick at most once a month? They can be stabilized by going to the treatment center to receive a gene-suppressing drug in advance. There will also be a mental sea monitoring system. If their mental power is high, they can also purchase multiple doses a month, and there will be discounts.”

“What if the aliens don’t take their medicine?”

“If they are discovered, they will be forcibly sent to a detention center. If they hurt someone, they will be directly arrested and imprisoned.”

“…”

“Am I the only one who noticed the third headline on the star network?”

“I’m so brave. It seems that the Empire didn’t communicate with the Alliance?”

“I have a friend who works in the Alliance. I heard that they were so angry they were cursing.”

“Your Empire is really ridiculous. The release of any agreement needs to be submitted to the Interstellar Alliance, which is organized by the major galaxy organizations, for approval. Only then can this《Alien Convention》be issued to the entire universe. The leadership of the Empire is simply autocratic and tyrannical!”

“You’re the one who’s ridiculous. When did the Empire ever need to look at others’ faces? Have you already forgotten the time when the Marshal led the warships to drive away the Zerg, and you were so grateful?”

“It was because the potion was not perfect before, and the Marshal endured it for the sake of the common people. It’s not up to other galaxies to point fingers at how our Empire does things, okay?”

“That’s right. I’m a normal person, but my family is an alien. I support the announcement of this agreement.”

“Just wait. It won’t be long before aliens from other galaxies will be immigrating to the Empire with their families.”

“…”

The star network was in an uproar.

The little merman, who was lazing in bed in the manor, dazedly got up from the bed. For a rare moment, the little mute had not yet woken up, and the side of the bed was no longer empty.

Deng Xi lay on the bed, propping his chin on his hands as he watched the little mute sleep. He cautiously reached out his hand to touch his closed eyelids. After he had finished playing, he noticed his tightly pressed thin lips.

The little merman secretly moved closer, stole a kiss, and said silently, “Good morning.”

Since there was a goodnight kiss, then he also had to give the little mute a good morning kiss.

Deng Xi prepared to get up and wash up by himself. He slowly looked at the time on his comm, and then his eyes widened.

He was going to be late!!!

“Little Mute, wake up quickly!” Deng Xi knelt up and pulled the man’s arm up. “Don’t sleep anymore!”

Si Jisheng had not yet endured Deng Xi’s little movements for long and was just about to fall back into a deep sleep when he was pulled and dragged.

He tightened his brow and, with a backhand, pressed the restless Deng Xi back onto the bed. His voice was filled with a drowsy sleepiness, magnetic and casual. “No hurry.”

Deng Xi was momentarily dazed. He didn’t know why the little mute, who usually got up very early, was also lazing in bed like him today. “We’re going to be late. Little Mute, look, it’s already eight o’clock!”

He turned over to push the little mute.

Si Jisheng explained in a low voice, “We can go a little later today.”

Only then did Deng Xi quiet down. “Alright, then I’ll sleep with Little Mute.” He hugged the little mute.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that Si Jisheng finally brought Deng Xi, who had had lunch, over late. And in the reception room of the military headquarters, the Elder, who had been waiting for a whole day, was as black as he could be.

How could the Marshal, who had been a workaholic for a whole year, be late and absent from work on this very day?!

[Jiaoren Gong x Merman Shòu]

Deng Xi lives on a planet that is all ocean, with no land.

He is the only merman on the entire planet.

Hugging his big tail and counting the days on his little fingers, the lonely little merman grew up day by day.

One day, he discovered another "merman"!

The other was injured and bleeding nonstop. His face was pale and weak—he looked so, so pitiful!

Deng Xi decided that he had to protect this precious, newfound member of his kind.

However, the other seemed to be a little mute and wouldn't speak to him.

Deng Xi painstakingly nursed the "little mute" back to health, only to discover with a heavy heart that once he was healed, the little mute had disappeared.

The other had left him, and Deng Xi was all alone once more.

A long, long time later, the merman was captured by offworlders who invaded his planet. Star pirates began to live-stream an auction for this merman, the only one of his kind in the entire universe.

Inside a cramped water tank, a chain locked around his neck, the merman huddled pitifully in a small corner.

Factions from all corners of the universe were in a frenzy. Who would win the bid for this new species of celestial beauty? Just as the astronomical deal was about to close—the starship's door was blasted open, and a man with features as sharp and cold as a blade stormed in, brandishing a weapon.

The Imperial Marshal, whose very name struck terror into the hearts of his enemies, apprehended all the star pirates and took the little merman home as a spoil of war.

The man gently and patiently taught the little merman everything about the interstellar age.

The sight of the Marshal's features softening left the entire universe slack-jawed.

·

On the very first day he was brought back, Deng Xi discovered that the Marshal also had a large tail. He thrashed it in delight and threw his arms around him, exclaiming, "Little Mute!"

Deng Xi was overjoyed to have found one of his own kind again, so much so that he failed to notice the man's slightly strange expression.

Si Jisheng held Deng Xi's hand, swimming slowly with him in the pool. Actually, he thought, I'm not one of your kind.

I'm not a merman. I'm a Jiaoren.

The Jiaoren of the East are immensely powerful, every part of their bodies a lethal weapon.

Whereas the mermen of the West are weak and powerless—nothing more than useless beauties.
