Chapter 40 I Will Be Your Puppy

7:08

Bai Chuan [Thank you for donating your blood sample last time. The research is progressing smoothly.]

7:10

Bai Chuan [Are you free to come to the Academy of Sciences today or tomorrow? The Academy needs your help.]

8:20

Bai Chuan [Don't worry, we will give you corresponding compensation]

10:34

Bai Chuan [Looking forward to your reply, Yu Li]

Yu Li's fingertips hesitated for a moment on the screen

[Okay, but Qi Sheng won’t let me go out alone. Can I take him with me?]

Bai Chuan: The other party is typing

Two minutes later:

[This is a secret between us, please don’t tell Qi Sheng]

secret?

Yu Li didn't understand. He didn't want to keep secrets with people he didn't know.

However, he didn't know how to tell Qi Sheng that he wanted to rescue a mermaid.

He guessed that if Qi Sheng knew about this, he would definitely blame him.

For example, Qi Sheng would get angry and yell!

Say something that touches the mermaid's heart:

"Why would you worry about a strange merman?"

"Why would you care about any other creature besides me?"

"Do you like him?"

"You plan to marry him?"

"Do you want to give him fish pups?"

"Is he as handsome as me? Is he as capable as me? Does he make you cry so hard that you can't get out of bed?"

...and so on, countless questions.

Not only was Qi Sheng unwilling to listen to his explanation, he also punished him in various ways.

For example, deliberately tying his tail fin and kissing his ears and cheeks when he wants to reproduce...

Even if he was unwilling to continue sowing seeds, Qi Sheng would pause for a long time and deliberately let him say some shameful words in exchange for a small seed...

And keep asking:

"Do you still dare?"

"What a bad little liar!"

"If you do something bad, you will be severely punished!"

…

Yu Li got a headache when he thought about this.

He did not reply to Bai Chuan, but quietly took out the pregnancy test paper given to him by the doctor.

Start testing.

Yu Li followed the instructions step by step, then laid the test paper flat and took a closer look with anticipation.

"Little carp! You've been in the bathroom for 38 minutes! What are you doing? Are you hatching eggs for me?"

"I'm coming in?" The voice was getting closer and closer to the bathroom.

"Don't……"

Before Yu Li could finish his words, Qi Sheng had already pushed open half of the toilet door.

Qi Sheng poked his head in and asked, "Could it be..."

"." Yu Li's spirit was tense. He held the test paper tightly in his hand and looked at Qi Sheng nervously.

"You're constipated, aren't you?" Qi Sheng said as he was about to squeeze in. "Stick your butt up, let me see..."

"No way." Yu Li blocked the door and prevented him from coming in. "You humans don't value privacy."

"You are my wife, I have seen every part of your body, don't be shy~"

"I, I can do it myself. Wait a minute, I'll be out right away."

"Okay then, I made breakfast and will wait for you to come out and eat." Qi Sheng said, then walked away humming a song.

Yu Li slowly loosened his palm, and there was only a faint red line on the white test paper.

ε=(ο｀*)))Alas, I didn’t get pregnant.

The marking was done, the glands were bitten, and a lot of pheromones were injected...

What went wrong?

but.

Not getting pregnant is actually a good thing.

(ó﹏ò)

The little mermaid comforts herself: Humans’ ideas about treating children are different from our mermaid community’s.

If Qi Sheng knew that I just wanted to borrow one of his seeds, he would definitely not let me take Zizi away. With Qi Sheng's possessiveness, he would lock both me and Zizi up at home.

But for the red-scaled mermaid, as long as they take care of the baby mermaid until he is one year old, they will send him to a new sea area.

By doing this, our population can spread throughout the ocean and absorb the genes of different mermaid species for the reproduction of our race.

I was sent to the patriarch's tribe when I was one year old. Over the years, the patriarch has always been very kind to me.

All I have to do is complete the mission he assigned me and bring him back a baby mermaid.

Then he won't ask me to do anything anymore.

When the time comes, I will come back to accompany Qi Sheng, and accompany him from his youth to middle age, and then to his old age...

I can send him into the dirt.

"What are you still dawdling about? Come out and eat."

Qi Sheng knocked on the door again.

"Yeah, here I come."

Yu Li threw the test papers into the toilet and flushed them away.

Then walk out of the bathroom.

"I made your favorite food for you today..."

Qi Sheng held up a wildly shaped burger.

The bread slices were burnt brown, and the lettuce leaves inside were wilted as if they had been run over by a tank. The meat patty sandwiched under the vegetables had a strange red glow around the edges.

Yu Li's tail fin froze.

"I made this special mermaid-flavored hamburger just for you. Come and try it."

Qi Sheng poked the glowing meat patty proudly. "It contains a special imported tomato sauce. I saw you ate a lot of it last time. I know you like it, so I covered it with sauce."

The little mermaid took the burger tremblingly. It looked both familiar and strange.

He remembered that in TV dramas, a few candles would be placed on similar objects, a framed photo of a human would be placed on the wall, and then the human would begin some kind of kneeling ceremony.

"This...this? A sacrifice for me?"

"What are you talking about!"

Qi Sheng pinched his cheek and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I looked up the Mermaid Dietary Guidelines and added some nutritional supplements for you. Come and try them."

Qi Sheng handed a glass of milk to him and said, "Take a bite and then drink a sip of milk."

Qi Sheng looked at him expectantly.

So Yu Li had no choice but to bite it with a fearless attitude.

Snap!

Yu Li was stunned and slowly took out a piece from his mouth...

Fish scales?

"Surprise, right?"

Qi Sheng excitedly opened the refrigerator, where dozens of frozen scales were neatly arranged. "Every day when I bathe you, I collect the scales that fall off, and then freeze them with liquid nitrogen to preserve them."

"A few days ago, it was my once-in-a-decade molting period..." Yu Li's ear fins flickered in anger. "You actually used them as food?"

"The Mermaid Dietary Guide says your scales are rich in hard protein and pheromone crystals. Eating them can make your scales brighter."

"Fish scales that fall off contain body waste and are inedible. Throw them away."

Even if I don't eat it, the fish scales are still shiny.

"Oh, I can't bear to throw it away!"

"So you don't like to eat—"

Qi Sheng suddenly felt a little disappointed. "But it doesn't matter. I can polish it into a necklace and keep it as a collection."

"The scale I gave you last time was the hardest and most beautiful. It's harder than all these useless scales combined."

Qi Sheng pulled out the pendant from his neck and said, "I know that what you gave me must be the best thing. Look, there is a small hole on it. I tied it with a neck rope and will wear it around my neck every day."

Qi Sheng approached her servilely, smiling radiantly, "I will be your little dog and serve the noble mermaid forever."

As he spoke, he bowed formally.

Yu Li thought he was cute, and even the hamburger in his hand didn't seem so disgusting anymore.

It will protect you.

This fish scale contains memory peptide chains that can resist strong external pressure.

At this moment, Qi Sheng's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Drink some milk first, I'm going to answer a phone call."

"Yeah." Yu Li nodded and took the glass of milk.

Qi Sheng walked to the balcony and answered Zhai Wenxi's call. He was a little impatient and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Qi Sheng! Hurry and get the hospital location I sent you. The doctor was about to perform surgery when he was interrupted by the Federation. Jing Yue is still inside!"

"Surgery? Excuse me, would the people from the Federation have nothing better to do than to disturb the doctor during surgery?"

Zhai Wenxi was hesitating, and it was unclear whether it was because he was anxious or scared.

"I... I contacted someone to perform an abortion on Jingyue. Originally, private hospitals were not regulated, but the federal government issued a law this morning prohibiting any hospital from performing artificial abortions..."

"You can find the details online. Oh, you better find a way to get these patrolmen to evacuate now, or Jingyue's life will be in danger!"

"..." Qi Sheng held his breath and did not continue asking. Instead, he immediately called Qi Feng.

Qi Sheng knew that Yu Li had always cared about Jing Yue. After this incident, he was worried that Yu Li would be sad, so he found an excuse to go out without taking him with him.

Yu Li took this opportunity to secretly go to the Academy of Sciences to meet Bai Chuan.

When he passed the most prosperous street market, he once again felt the familiar magnetic field waves from his hometown. Yu Li got off the car at the place where the magnetic field waves were the most intense.

He walked around the street area three times, back and forth, leaving his pheromone scent on every sign.

If he really is the patriarch, he will definitely be waiting for him here based on his aura.

If you are not from his tribe, you naturally cannot understand his plan.

When Qi Sheng rushed to the private clinic, the patrolman had just left.

They were once under the jurisdiction of Qi Sheng, and when they saw the dismissed Qi Sheng, they still saluted.

As soon as the patrolman's boots faded away at the end of the corridor, Qi Sheng grabbed Zhai Wenxi by the collar and slammed him against the wall. "Zhai Wenxi! What the hell are you doing?!"

Zhai Wenxi's pupils trembled violently, and his pale lips opened and closed several times before a sound came out.

"I... I regret it too, but... but there's no way to stop it. He's been injected with a lot of drugs. Even if the child is born, it won't be healthy."

“Did you do this on purpose???”

Qi Sheng finally reacted. He let go of Zhai Wenxi's collar and looked at him with an incomprehensible look.

"I originally thought you were just a playboy, but I didn't expect you to be such a beast! That's a life, how could you have the heart to kill it!"

"Qi Sheng." Zhai Wenxi looked at his friend with red eyes. He tilted his head back, his neck covered with bloody marks from his own scratches.

"My sensitive period is very painful. I really couldn't stand it yesterday. If I didn't touch him, I would die of pain. Now only his pheromones can relieve my pain. I only like him now, I can't accept anyone else."

Zhai Wenxi spoke incoherently, "But after he got pregnant, his body reacted too strongly. He couldn't help me get through the susceptible period. His body was rejecting me..."

"..." Qi Sheng seemed to see Zhai Wenxi clearly for the first time. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Scold him? Beat him?

It seems that nothing can change the reality.

The patrolman returned again, "Major General, the Führer asked us to ask you to return to the army. He has something to discuss with you."

It was obvious that they were going to take him back, but Qi Sheng wanted to stay away from this hospital more than anyone else.

He looked at Zhai Wenxi squatting in the corner, ignored him, and left with the patrolman...

——

Six hours later, Jing Yue slowly opened his eyes.

Zhai Wenxi sat by the bed and held his hand tightly. "Are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Can you speak?"

Jing Yue's lips were so dry that he could hardly speak. He recalled the scene before he lay on the hospital bed.

He was doing housework when he suddenly felt weak all over for some reason. He seemed to faint in Zhai Wenxi's arms.

"Is my blood sugar low again? I'm sorry to bother you."

As he was about to get out of bed, he suddenly felt that his lower limbs had lost sensation, and there was an IV needle stuck in the back of his hand.

"I'm pregnant. I can't take any medicine randomly." He weakly tried to pull out the needle.

The nurse was writing a medical record nearby. "Mr. Jingyue, the baby was already gone when you were taken to the hospital. It's best not to get pregnant when you're not in good health. It will have a huge impact on your health. You're still young. Wait until you're better before trying to get pregnant."

Jing Yue only felt a buzzing sound in his head, "Doctor, what did you say?"

The nurse handed him a medical record. "Your physical examination values ​​are all negative. Even the basic physical examination fails to meet the standard. How could you get pregnant when your health is so poor? It's a good thing you lost the child, otherwise your health would be even worse after giving birth."

Zhai Wenxi stood up and interrupted, "Nurse, let me talk. Please step out for a moment."

Jing Yue seemed to have not understood what the doctor said. His fingertips unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen. The place that was once slightly bulging was now terribly flat.

When he raised his eyes, his eyelashes twitched and tears from the corners of his eyes fell one by one, landing right on the pinhole on the back of his hand.

He looked at Zhai Wenxi with despair:

I'm sorry I didn't protect our child.
