After Becoming a Merman, I Became a Heartthrob 73

Chapter 73: He’s Afraid of Water

The setting sun was on the water, reflecting a sparkling orange.

Su Chimian walked back to the small building step by step, his mind constantly flashing with the scene he had just seen.

The shock was too great, so much so that when Cheng Heng stood in front of him, he didn’t even react.

“Hey!”

Cheng Heng frowned when he saw him, his eyes full of impatience.

Before Su Chimian had come to the Cheng family, there had been quite a few illegitimate children. He not only had half-siblings with the same father, but also half-siblings with the same mother.

The Cheng couple was a typical family marriage. They had no feelings for each other and each played their own games.

But Father and Mother Cheng were very clear-headed. From the beginning, they would not give any of those illegitimate children any benefits or favoritism.

Feeling guilty towards their son, they could be said to have doted on him to the extreme, which also fostered his spoiled personality.

He had never cared about these people. Since he had come to the Cheng family, the two of them had not said a word to each other.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, he clicked his tongue. “Did you lose your soul?! Can’t you watch where you’re going?”

He was suddenly startled and pulled out of his thoughts, quickly stepping aside. “I’m sorry, Brother Cheng, you go first.”

He didn’t want to waste his breath on him, but seeing his dejected appearance, he still turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with you? What did you see that made you so flustered?”

His mind was completely occupied by the thought that Chi Xiasheng was a merman, so much so that when he heard this, he subconsciously said, “Merman… no, I didn’t see anything.” He came back to his senses and quickly denied it.

He clearly caught the two words “merman.” His eyes immediately narrowed, and he took a few steps closer to him.

“You saw a merman, didn’t you? A blue tail?”

Hearing his detailed description, he was so shocked that he looked up in disbelief. “How did you know?!”

His heart was on fire. He wished he could shake his shoulders and ask him where he had seen it. His eyes became even deeper.

“Where? Take me there!”

He bit his tongue to clear his head, took a breath, and lowered his head in silence for a while.

With Cheng Heng’s appearance, doesn’t he know that the merman is Chi Xiasheng?

Otherwise, with his excited and urgent mood, it’s impossible for him to have that cold and annoyed attitude towards him.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, he cursed in frustration. “Where did you see it? Was it at the seaside!”

He looked up and saw the eagerness in his eyes. His Adam’s apple rolled, and then he said, “I saw it. I saw it very clearly, and I even know who it is. But, what do you want to do with him?”

Hearing the familiarity in his tone towards that merman, his eyes immediately lit up.

“You know who it is! Tell me quickly. I won’t do anything bad to him. I just want to repay him!”

After he was rescued by a merman on the island, he was determined to find him.

At that time, under the huge silver moon, his gentle and ethereal voice had constantly stimulated him, making him not leave the house for three consecutive days and write several new songs.

He felt that no one else could sing the spiritual charm of these songs, so he had been trying his best to find out news of the merman, wanting to give these songs to him as a gift.

Hearing this, his heart sank.

But in just a moment, he had calmed down, a smile on his lips. “I can tell you, but you have to do something for me.”

His eyes were half-closed, but he hadn’t lost his reason. “Something that harms others?”

The smile on his lips almost froze. He held it in and then said, “No, I just want to add a segment to the show to make myself stand out.”

Although his moral level was not high, he was also very annoyed by illegal and disorderly things. Hearing this, he nodded.

“Deal.”

When he turned to leave, he looked up and said, “I’ll find you when I’ve thought it through.”

The two of them separated. He went into the room, and he went downstairs to find food.

Chi Xiasheng was still unable to completely control his spiritual energy and had to use seawater when he used it.

And the moment he touched the seawater, he, who was already extremely sensitive because of his heat, would uncontrollably transform back into his original form.

But fortunately, there was no one at the seaside. After Xiao Ze had completely recovered and left with a thank you, he returned to the small building, exhausted.

Li Hao and Sister Jiao, who had come back from outside, saw his appearance and quickly went up to care for him.

“What’s wrong, Little Xia? Are you tired?”

He forced a smile. “I’m sorry, Brother Hao, Sister Jiao. I wanted to go to the seaside to catch a few more fish, but I ended up letting the original fish run away and didn’t catch anything.”

Brother Hao said, “Hey.” “That’s fine. But you can’t go to the seaside alone next time. The cameraman didn’t even follow you. It’s too dangerous.”

Sister Jiao also chimed in on the side.

He said he had forgotten. After chatting for a few sentences, he went upstairs to rest.

It wasn’t until dinnertime that he had recovered a little and went downstairs to help with the cooking.

Seeing him come down, she smiled with a bowl and chopsticks. “Little Xia, you have a good nose. I just finished cooking. Come down and have a taste.”

He quickened his steps and pursed his lips in embarrassment. “I was supposed to do it. I’m really sorry to have troubled you, Sister Jiao.”

She waved her hand dismissively. “It’s fine. My cooking skills are the only thing I can show off. If I don’t show off a few times, there’s really no place for me in the entertainment industry!”

Li Hao laughed heartily on the side. “Who in the entertainment industry relies on their cooking skills?! You’re really something!”

The two of them were indeed old partners, and their back-and-forth created a very good atmosphere.

He also let out a sigh of relief and went into the house to help get the bowls and chopsticks.

Su Chimian had just come back from outside. Seeing him get up and go to the kitchen, he also swayed over.

“Oh my, this kettle is so heavy. You guys should move aside so you don’t get hit!”

He, who was carrying the kettle, happened to bump into him, who had just come in from behind the curtain.

The water in the kettle spilled onto his fair calf, and the water droplets dripped down his fair skin.

He almost subconsciously covered the wet area of his skin with his hand.

Seeing his action, his eyes flickered, and he quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry. This kettle is really too heavy. I shouldn’t have been so stubborn and insisted on carrying it over in one trip.”

Li Hao quickly went up to check and, seeing him holding his calf, thought he had been injured and quickly said, “Little Xia, is your leg injured? I have medicine there.”

His fingertips were on warm skin, not slightly cold and hard scales, so he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s fine. It just hurt a little just now. I’m not injured. Thank you, Brother Hao.”

Li Hao helped him clean up the mess and said with a smile, “That’s good. You should go and sit for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.”

He nodded and ate this meal very absent-mindedly.

He was so tired today that he almost had no buffer at night and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Chimian also went to Cheng Heng’s room. Seeing that he was playing the piano, he consciously waited for a while.

Although he was also Cheng Wangzhou’s son in name, he had never been publicly acknowledged by the Cheng family. Everyone in the Cheng family also let this situation be and would not stand up for him.

Just like Chi Xiasheng before, although he was in this family, he was worse than an outsider.

The soothing music poured out from his hands. He unconsciously thought of his life in the Su family before, which was a world of difference compared to now…

At that time, he was doted on in their palms. His father, mother, and older brother almost all treated him as their most well-behaved treasure.

But now, he unconsciously let out a self-deprecating laugh in his heart.

It turned out that being a parasite with no way out was more torturous than being killed with a single blow.

He was afraid that he would live like this, humble and fawning, for the rest of his life. But he clenched his hands and, thinking of something, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness for a moment.

When his music came to an abrupt halt, he also lowered his eyes and said softly, “I want everyone to go to the seaside to catch fish tomorrow.”

Hearing his request, his eyes gently narrowed with doubt.

This… is a bit too simple, isn’t it?

He continued, “Anyway, you’ll find out sooner or later. And since I’m living in the Cheng family, I might as well do you a favor. I don’t expect to whitewash myself with this show. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Hearing this, he didn’t say much more and nodded lightly.

“I see.”

The music started again. He closed the door and left, a sarcastic smile on his lips.

He was basically finished now, but he had to drag Chi Xiasheng down with him!
