Chapter 117: Side Story: Little Jiaoren Raising Little Fish 13 (End)
After his mating season was temporarily stopped, the dizzy Xixi stammered and confessed everything to his brother.
The little merman could feel that the silver Jiaoren seemed a little worried about his abnormal state.
The shell was opened again, and his vision was no longer dim. The cloudy seawater in the giant clam shell was also carried out by the current. The little merman grabbed the soft seaweed bed and covered his tail with it, blocking the slightly red and swollen phosphorescent membrane. His eyes, which were swollen from crying, were also still red, and he did not dare to look at the silver Jiaoren.
The silver Jiaoren had just gone out for a trip, had cleaned the dirty shell bed, and had brought back some red medicinal herbs. He bent down and lifted the seaweed bed that was covering the blue fish tail.
The little merman exclaimed, “Brother?!”
His cold fingertips pressed on Xixi’s fish tail, which was about to curl up. The silver Jiaoren said in a low voice, “Don’t move around.”
The little merman’s cheeks were red, and he stammered an agreement. He watched as the silver Jiaoren squeezed the red medicinal herb juice into the seawater, and the aching feeling on his fish tail instantly lessened a lot.
Slowly, Xixi relaxed. He said in a small voice, “Brother, are you listening?” His blue eyes blinked slightly. “The inherited memories say that my mating season will last for several days.”
The silver Jiaoren said softly, “I’m listening.”
Xixi’s voice became smaller and smaller, so blurry it was almost inaudible. “Should I not have kissed brother?”
“The merman mates in my memories, there don’t seem to be two males.” The little merman thought with a troubled expression. But even if he didn’t kiss his brother, now that he was the only merman left in the merman clan, and he and his brother were of different species, he couldn’t have new merman cubs by himself.
Brother had said that he was not a merman.
The little merman was a little troubled.
The silver Jiaoren slightly raised his eyes. “Are the inherited memories very important?”
Xixi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head. “No! Brother is the most important!” His ears were red. “I, I will be responsible for brother!”
He didn’t want to be the scummy fishie in his memories who had run away after mating.
After the silver Jiaoren had finished squeezing all the red medicinal herbs, he put the seaweed bed back on Xixi’s fish tail and prepared to clean up the used medicinal herbs.
And then he was suddenly grabbed by the hand.
Xixi, who was sitting on the shell bed, his blue fish tail gently hanging outside, raised his face, a little nervous. “Then what about brother?”
The silver Jiaoren paused for a moment, then without any warning, he bent down and lowered his head, and placed a kiss on the little merman’s lips.
The little merman was stunned on the spot. His blue eyes trembled slightly. When the silver Jiaoren was about to pull away, he raised his arms and wrapped them around the other’s neck, straightened his back, and offered his face as if in a sacrifice, and responded stickily.
The silver Jiaoren pressed the back of the little merman’s neck and subconsciously rubbed it with the pad of his finger. After he had felt the little merman’s body tremble, he stopped. “I will accompany you through your mating season.” He paused for a moment. “And every mating season in the future.”
Xixi’s blue eyes lit up.
The silver Jiaoren reminded the little merman not to be too happy too soon. “But there are conditions.”
Xixi asked in confusion, “What are they?”
His slightly lowered silver eyes were extremely focused. The silver Jiaoren said, word by word, “Don’t call me brother anymore.”
The little merman did not understand. “Then what should I call you?”
“Mate.”
“Your mate.”
The little merman couldn’t help but kiss the silver Jiaoren’s slightly cold features. “Alright, then brother is my mate.” He curved his eyelids. “Will brother always be by Xixi’s side?”
The silver Jiaoren said slowly, “I will.”
He would accompany the little merman in the ocean forever and would not go anywhere.
