Chapter 65

At half past six in the morning, the sunlight penetrated the glass and shone onto the bed in the bedroom.

The soft, thin air-conditioning blanket covered Chi Qi's body. He had a serene expression as he lay on his side with his arms across the dark sheets, making his skin look exceptionally fair. He was immersed in a sweet dream.

In his dream, he is a mermaid with the ability to turn tears into pearls. Not only that, he is surprised to find that he can also control his dreams!

Chi Qi was happily swimming in the water, gurgling and blowing bubbles. A huge ship passed by in front of him. He surfaced and caught a glimpse of the prince standing by the ship and looking into the distance.

But in a flash, the weather changed suddenly, and the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

There was a violent storm on the sea, thunder and lightning in the sky, a huge wave hit, the mast broke, the ship sank, and the prince fell into the sea.

When Chi Qi saw this scene, he swam over hurriedly, picked up the unconscious prince, and after some effort, brought him to the shore, carefully leaning him against a huge reef.

He did not leave, but looked at the prince's handsome face and covered his pounding heart.

Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.

He stared blankly like this for a long time, until he heard footsteps in the distance, someone was approaching.

Chi Qi knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he jumped into the sea in panic. When he returned to the bottom of the sea, he found that he could not forget the prince.

Even when I close my eyes, the prince's face appears before my eyes.

After a simple judgment, he realized that he was most likely in love with the prince.

But mermaids and humans are different species, how can they be together?

After careful consideration, Chi Qi took action. He swam to the deepest part of the ocean and decided to find a witch to buy magic potion.

The witch was shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of glasses. She exuded a dark aura. She said, "I can help you become a human, but you need to pay the same price."

Chi Qi waved his tail and asked, "What's the price?"

The witch laughed and said, "Exchange it with your most precious thing."

The most precious thing?

Chi Qi froze in place. He suddenly felt that he didn't love the prince that much anymore. Why not go home and sleep?

"I want to take away—" the witch stretched out her voice, enjoying the mermaid's panic, and then she slowly said, "Your voice."

She set a condition, "If you can make the prince fall in love with you and get his kiss within seven days, I will return your voice to you, otherwise you will turn into foam."

You should have said it earlier! He thought she wanted his beautiful pearls.

Chi Qi's fish tail returned to its original swinging frequency, but he considered himself a smart mermaid and couldn't show too much happiness. What if the witch regretted it?

He pretended to be conflicted, holding the fish tail and thinking seriously, and after a long time he agreed, "Okay, I promise you."

The two signed a contract.

Chi Qi finally had legs as he wished. As soon as he climbed to the shore, he saw the face he had been thinking about day and night.

The prince was very excited to see him, and hurried forward to support him, saying firmly, "I know it was you who saved me."

Chi Qi nodded frantically, it’s me, it’s me, that’s me!

"I have been looking for you for a long time." The prince said happily, "What is your name?"

Time was limited, and Chi Qi had no time to exchange pleasantries with him. He forcefully pulled the prince's arm, pried open his fingers, and wrote on his palm.

The prince tried hard to understand what Chi Qi wanted to say, "You have temporarily lost your voice, but you will be able to recover after kissing me? Am I understanding correctly?"

Chi Qi nodded seriously. If the prince disagreed, that didn’t matter. He would choose to force a kiss on him. Anyway, the witch only asked him to kiss the prince.

The process is not important, as long as the result is right.

The prince's eyes fell on his rosy lips. He couldn't help but move closer and whispered, "I promise you, please close your eyes first."

It's just a kiss, is it necessary to make it so complicated?

Humans are so shy, but Chi Qi is a considerate and kind mermaid. He obediently closed his eyes, raised his neck and waited quietly.

After a few breaths, a soft touch fell, with a slight dampness.

Chi Qi's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. The prince had already leaned back and distanced himself from him, "Why did you kiss the tip of my nose?"

The prince looked away, not meeting his gaze, "We've only met twice... our kissing wasn't very good." He cleared his throat and added, "In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to kiss."

Oh, that seems to make some sense.

But wasn't this his dream? He can do whatever he wants without asking the prince for his opinion because no one will know.

In this case, Chi Qi grabbed the prince and thrust forward in the right direction. Just when he was about to make mouth-to-mouth contact with the prince, the witch appeared to spoil the mood, "No! No! How could you succeed? This shouldn't be possible."

She was incredulous, "Oh my God, you can actually write?"

Chi Qi pointed to the contract in his hand and said innocently, "You should have known it when I signed the contract with you."

Damn, she was fooled.

The witch was furious and roared in frustration.

Chuck! Chuck!

Chi Qi was awakened by the loud and loud crowing of a rooster, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

What the hell? Where am I? Why does a witch make cock-crow noises?

He looked at the bedside table. A rooster-shaped alarm clock stood on the table, and crowing sounds came from its mouth. He vaguely remembered that it was a Children's Day gift that An Xun had given him.

But why did the alarm go off for no reason?

His memory slowly returned and Chi Qi sat up straight. He remembered that he set the alarm so as not to delay his work. He wanted to go to the scene to watch the scumbag being hammered!

Since it's just for eating melons... He grabbed a corner of the quilt, lay down straight, turned off the alarm clock, and planned to take a nap.

The melon field is locked, the melons will grow there and will not run away.

Chi Qi convinced himself and closed his eyelids peacefully.

Check! cluck↗cluck↗cluck

The crowing of the roosters was deafening, and they would not stop until the roof was blown off.

Strange, didn’t he turn off the alarm?

Chi Qi reached out to grab the alarm clock, but couldn't reach it...

He opened his eyes and saw a strange scene. The alarm clock grew legs and ran away right in front of him?

I'm not kidding, I was really running, darting around the room, cackling as I ran, one cackling louder than the other, completely driving away Chi Qi's sleepiness.

His ears were tortured so badly that he had to get out of bed and catch the chicken.

When Chi Qi could hardly walk steadily, his mother took him to the countryside. The little boy squatted on the ground, drooling at the free-range chickens at home. Then, when the adults were not paying attention, he stumbled over, seized the opportunity and grabbed the rooster's wings.

The rooster was frightened and flapped its wings hard, and he was almost carried away. Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground. But despite this, he had no intention of letting go and continued to pull the rooster without saying a word.

Chi's mother was originally leisurely eating melon seeds. When she turned around, she saw her son being slapped in the face by a rooster. She was so scared that the melon seed shells fell to the ground, and she rushed forward in panic to rescue him.

That night, this disrespectful rooster became Chi Qi's meal.

The past is hard to recall. He used to be brave and good at fighting when he was a child, but now he is just a fragile person. He walked around the room five or six times before he caught the crowing chicken.

Chi Qi tried to turn off the alarm clock for a long time but failed. His patience ran out and he could no longer bear it and removed the battery. Only then did this outrageous farce stop.

He went downstairs exhausted, and only then did he finally understand why humans could empathize with animals. He began to understand the chickens, waking up early and screaming.

[Hook!] Giggling giggle↗giggling↗giggling↗giggling↗】

Mr. Chi, who was drinking porridge, almost choked.

How can I eat properly if you go crazy so early in the morning?

Chi Qi sat at the dining table, selected an egg that he liked, peeled the eggshell roughly, took a bite, and took out the yolk. He threw the remaining half egg white into the millet porridge.

Chi's mother watched him use chopsticks to pick up egg whites and drink millet porridge. She said with a headache, "Can't you just drink the porridge properly?"

I'm learning bad habits every day!

Chi Qi lifted his face from the bowl and shared his great discovery, "I don't have to wash the spoon when I drink porridge this way."

[Hehe, if being smart is a crime, then I must be sentenced to life imprisonment~]

“…”

I think you are like a toad sneezing, you are so arrogant!

Chi's mother moved the bowl in front of him with a stern face.

Chi Qi was stunned, and when he realized what was happening, he quickly reached out to stop her, "Mom, I'm not full yet."

"If you don't eat, you don't have to wash the dishes." Chi's mother was too lazy to reason with him and used magic to defeat the magic. "How great! It saves trouble and energy."

ah? His expression froze.

"But I will starve to death. If I starve to death in the underworld and drink Meng Po's soup, Meng Po will have to wash one more bowl." Chi Qi's brain was working at an unprecedented speed. He wailed, "Mom, don't you feel bad?"

“…”

Mother Chi was speechless. While she was thinking, Chi Qi quickly snatched back the bowl, drank the porridge in two gulps, and then ate the half egg.

He leaned back in his chair contentedly.

[Alas, my father is full of energy when he wakes up early every day, but I will just have a mental attack if I wake up early. 】

After listening to his self-evaluation, Mr. and Mrs. Chi wanted to raise their hands and feet to agree with him.

It's indeed a serious illness!

After filling his stomach, Chi Qi took the things he needed to take, said hello to his father, and got into the car.

After a while, the car door was opened and Chi's mother sat next to him.

"Huh? Mom, are you going to the company too?"

Chi's mother looked at him with dignity and coldness, "Can't I go?"

Chi Qi said seriously, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

He is addicted to playing the emperor. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years. Mother Chi gnashed her teeth and wanted to beat him up as a feudal remnant. "Say it again?"

Chi Qi was very happy to play a joke, so he stopped while he was ahead and patted Chi's mother's shoulder in a flattering way, "Just kidding, Mom, of course you can go to the company."

The uncle in the front seat of the driver laughed and joked, "Young Master is really funny, like a happy pill."

Chi Qi immediately struck up a conversation with him, and said, "Uncle driver, please praise me more. I love to hear it."

[What you said makes me happy, so I grant you the title of Yu.] 】

Chi’s mother: “.”

The car stopped steadily in front of the company.

Chi Qi went upstairs with his father and mother. He came to a familiar corridor. The secretary's office was at the beginning of the corridor. The door was open. He turned around and jumped in.

[Goodbye Mom and Dad, I'll just sit back and wait for the show! 】

Secretary Cen was working inside. He looked up and saw him and greeted him lightly.

There was still one minute left before the company's clocking in ended. Chi Qi looked at the time and counted down slowly.

After waiting for the last few seconds, the sound of messy footsteps was heard.

Chi Wanglian ran in on time, panting heavily. Just as he was about to plop down on the chair, he found that his seat was taken. "Get out of the way, let me rest for a while."

Chi Qi stood still like a mountain, occupying the chair and refusing to move. "No!"

"You can't get up, right?" Chi Wang pushed his shoulder but failed, and threatened, "I'm going to sit on your legs!"

What's the point of sitting on my lap? You should be able to sit on Secretary Cen's lap.

However, under pressure, Chi Qi still stood up reluctantly, "Tsk~ I don't even want to sit down." He instructed, "Go pour me a cup of tea."

Chi Wanglian was still in a bad mood after getting up, "Don't you have hands? Can't you pour water by yourself?"

Chi Qi gritted his teeth secretly, sitting on the sofa in the corner and rolling his eyes.

Secretary Cen was amused by the two's elementary school behavior and took the initiative to speak, "I just have to go out. Let me get you some water. Do you want hot or cold water?"

"Need not!"

Chi Qi looked up in confusion. He didn't say anything. Who refused for him?

Chi Wang said quickly, "You take a rest, I'll do the running." He turned his head and changed his expression, muttering softly, "Why aren't you dying of thirst?"

After saying that, he picked up the cup of water and ran out.

“…”

Secretary Cen went directly to the president's office to report on his work. After knocking twice, he pushed the door open and three scorching gazes fell on him.

Secretary Cen, "?"

what happened?

Why is the chairman sitting here too?

Secretary Cen buried his surprise deep in his heart and began to report calmly.

Mother Chi looked at Chi Tingsi and asked, "Is he your secretary?"

Chi Tingsi nodded slightly. His mother had just told him that there would be a good show in the company today that should not be missed. The protagonist was his secretary's younger brother.

When he joined the company, Chi Tingsi looked at Secretary Cen’s resume and family relationships, and was quite impressed by his brother’s name.

Chi Tingsi nodded as he listened to the report, "The project in the west of the city has started investing, you go and keep an eye on it..."

Chi's mother patted him and lowered her voice, "Change someone."

But we can't send her away, she is still waiting to eat the melon.

Chi Tingsi had no choice but to change his words, "Let Assistant Guan keep an eye on the progress."

"Okay, I'll tell him later." After Secretary Cen reported the work he was responsible for and confirmed the itinerary, he turned and left.

Chi's mother sighed, "Your secretary has a good appearance and is well-spoken. It seems that he has been well-educated. Why is his brother such a bad person?"

"Each of the nine sons of a dragon is different." Father Chi was not very interested in other people's education. "We should just have fun. Why think so much?"

"That's right." Mother Chi nodded and ordered, "Xiao Si, go stand guard at the door."

Chi Tingsi uttered an "ah", not understanding what she meant.

"The plot that Xiao Qi revealed didn't mention the time. I don't know when the fun will begin. Please keep an eye on Xiao Qi's movements and report to me immediately if there is any movement."

“…”

"I know." Chi Tingsi asked helplessly, "Mom, do you have any other requests?"

"Give me some more melon seeds."

*

Downstairs, a middle-aged couple and a thin dog walked into the door.

Mr. Cen was short, with small eyes and a beer belly. He looked around with greed in his eyes, "This company is really impressive."

"Yes." Mother Cen's face flashed with shrewdness. She was thin and had many fine lines around her eyes. "Tianci, don't worry, I will definitely get the money for you today."

Seeing several people appear, the lady at the front desk smiled and said, "Hello, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Mother Cen's mouth drooped, and she said unhappily, "Do I need to make an appointment to see my son?

The receptionist froze for a moment. "No, but it's working hours now. Please wait in the lounge next door."

Father Cen's eyes widened, "How can a parent wait for a child? Get him out quickly. My time is very precious."

The tone doesn't sound like that of a parent, but rather someone seeking revenge.

The receptionist was embarrassed and reminded again, "It's working hours now, I can't violate company regulations..."

"If I tell you to shout, then shout. Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and do it."

The receptionist was a young girl who had just graduated. She was inexperienced in handling matters and was confused by Mr. Cen's scolding. "If you are really in a hurry, I will contact you."

She called Secretary Cen with doubts and confirmed with him again and again.

"Well, your family is here. They insist on seeing you. They say there's something important..."

Secretary Cen's breathing became heavy after hearing this, and he put down his pen. "Okay, I got it. I'll come down now."
