Chapter 23 Mermaid 23

Young people always have endless anger and vitality to vent.

Cheng Shuinan is eighteen years old, which is the best age. Perhaps it is because of the mermaid gene in his body. After entering maturity, he exudes a scent that attracts the opposite sex all the time, and he can't help himself after the first taste.

The maturation period of mermaids is no different from that of animals in nature. Unlike humans, they cannot reproduce at any time. They mature in spring, and after a whole season of sowing, the maturity period is over, and then they raise their offspring.

After a mermaid reaches maturity, the scales on her abdomen will become hard.

But this is where Cheng Shuinan is different from mermaids. After all, he does not have complete mermaid genes. He is a combination of mermaid and human. When faced with the temptation of Zhang Jingshu's breath, he can use reason to suppress the surging desire in his heart.

However, when floods come, the gates must be opened to release the water. The onslaught of heavy rain makes the lakes and rivers turbulent and violent. If the gates are not opened, the accumulated floods will be difficult to deal with.

Before Zhang Jingshu even tasted the sweetness of love, she had to feel the tireless obsession of a young mermaid.

…

When she woke up again, Zhang Jingshu's consciousness had not yet returned to her body, and her cheeks were already red.

Cheng Shuinan probably couldn't control the changes in his body, and would revert to his mermaid form without warning when kissing. At this time, the one who was hurt was Zhang Jingshu. She was bitten by his fangs and left bleeding marks.

Zhang Jingshu hissed, covering her head with her hands and shaking it. The sweet fragrance still lingered on her nose. Unable to dispel it, she put it aside, threw on some clothes and went to the bathroom. She couldn't bear to look at herself in the mirror.

There are tooth-like indentations on the neck, shoulders, wrists, and legs.

Unlike the rosy complexion described in the book, she looked like she had been thrown into the Colosseum, fought with a wild beast, was swallowed into a ferocious mouth, and then escaped with a mouth full of mucus.

Cheng Shuinan appeared in the mirror wearing an apron.

He was still wearing a thin autumn sweatshirt and sweatpants, standing with his shoulder against the door frame. After looking at Zhang Jingshu in the mirror, he stood behind her, pulled up her pajamas that had slid to her shoulders, and then carefully moved her hair aside to cover the bite marks on her neck.

He coughed twice, his face flushed: "I will pay attention next time."

Cheng Shuinan's palms were slightly cold as he covered her shoulders. Perhaps he felt that he had gone too far. There was self-blame in his eyes, but also a hint of flattery. He slowly pulled Zhang Jingshu to his chest and put his cheek against hers.

"Zhang Jingshu, if it hurts too much, you can bite me too."

Zhang Jingshu didn't want to argue with him about this matter, mainly because she could still accept any amount of intimacy after being bewitched by the smell, but now she was sober, and when he hugged her and spoke in a gentle tone in her ear, her body would unconsciously go limp.

Shyness creeps in, creating an irresistible urge to escape.

She didn't want to be at a disadvantage in their relationship, so she pretended to be calm and said, "My teeth aren't as sharp as yours, and I don't bite people casually..."

Cheng Shuinan nodded, lowered her head silently, opened her mouth, and bit the flesh on her shoulder with human teeth and grinded it slowly.

Zhang Jingshu didn't feel any pain, so she didn't push him away. She happened to look up and stared at the scene in the mirror, and her heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment.

Cheng Shuinan's look at this moment was like a wild beast gnawing on its prey, full of danger, terror and bloody cruelty spreading all around, as if as long as she resisted or struggled, that row of neat and smooth teeth would instantly turn into a sharp blade and cut off her neck.

"Cheng Shuinan..." I called his name in a panic.

Cheng Shuinan looked up and forced a smile. The light reflected in his eyes made him look like a child who got the candy he had been longing for.

Zhang Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me go, I want to take a shower."

Cheng Shuinan nodded, but did not move.

Zhang Jingshu tried to push his hands away, but he didn't refuse. He put his arms around her waist and hugged her from behind. She pushed one hand away, then the other, and then he hugged the one that was pushed away again, showing great perseverance.

Zhang Jingshu reluctantly let go of her hand and glanced sideways.

"Cheng Shuinan, have you hugged me enough?"

Zhang Jingshu was really having a headache. She didn't expect that someone could change the relationship so quickly. His face was thicker than a city wall. Before yesterday, a few harsh words would make him cry, and he didn't even dare to touch her. But after a more intimate contact, he suddenly became clingy.

I can't pull it out no matter how hard I try.

No, actually he was very clingy before.

I have probably rehearsed it many times in my mind, and now it can finally be realized.

"Not enough..." Cheng Shuinan could see the bite marks on her fair neck just by lowering his eyes. He was a little distracted. He felt like he was walking on cotton and it was unreal. He was afraid that it would turn out to be a dream when he woke up.

He desperately needed a sense of reality.

He raised his arm, put it to Zhang Jingshu's mouth, and begged: "Zhang Jingshu, bite me...bite me hard..."

Zhang Jingshu pushed away the arm across her mouth, thought for a moment, pinched his flesh with both hands and twisted it hard. Cheng Shuinan's sudden hissing sound rang in her ears. She took the opportunity to leave his arms, ran to the bathroom and closed the door.

"Stop it, Cheng Shuinan. I feel sticky and uncomfortable. I need to take a shower!"

Cheng Shuinan's arm was hurting, she was using a lot of strength, but her mouth was stretched to her ears, her smile was sweet and flamboyant.

It's not a dream, it's real.

He stood in front of the bathroom door: "I'm not clean either, Zhang Jingshu, it's time for me to take a shower..."

Zhang Jingshu: "No! Go to the kitchen and cook!"

Cheng Shuinan pleaded softly twice, but didn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to return to the kitchen dejectedly to continue making breakfast.

…

As winter approaches, the temperature becomes very low.

Zhang Jingshu only bought Cheng Shuinan some spring and autumn clothes, but nothing for winter. She found him downstairs that day, wearing so thin he was almost frozen into an icicle.

The weekend was a blur.

It felt like she hadn't done anything, and her body was exhausted to the extreme. So after work, Zhang Jingshu hurried back home, told her what to do, and prepared to go to the mall to buy winter clothes that night.

Cheng Shuinan clung to the door frame and refused to let go: "Zhang Jingshu, how long are you going to be gone? The meal is ready. It will get cold if you don't eat it."

Zhang Jingshu: "The mall is nearby, I'll be back soon."

"You said the same thing the other day." Cheng Shuinan muttered twice.

Cheng Shuinan was blocking the door and she couldn't leave unless he moved aside.

Zhang Jingshu: "I'll be back soon. I won't be going anywhere. Just wait at home. Or... do you have any requests?"

Cheng Shuinan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I want..."

Zhang Jingshu was ready to kiss him. After all, he always asked her to do so whenever she got the chance. His lips were soft, like sweet candy, and it felt very comfortable to kiss him.

She also gradually became addicted to this intimate touch that belonged only to the two of them.

Compared to the kiss, another expectation arose in Cheng Shuinan's heart.

Now that he has human legs, why should he hide at home like a lover who is afraid to see others? He wants to kiss his lover openly and in public.

Everyone should know—

He and Zhang Jingshu are lovers.

My chest was suddenly filled with anticipation.

The trembling heartbeat sounded in my ears.

Cheng Shuinan bent down, took Zhang Jingshu's hands, and looked into her eyes: "Zhang Jingshu, I want to change a request."

"I want to go shopping with you."

"But..." Zhang Jingshu was in a dilemma. It wasn't that she didn't want him to go out, but she was afraid that he would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

"Zhang Jingshu, I miss you." Cheng Shuinan acted coquettishly.

Zhang Jingshu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then we must wear masks."

Cheng Shuinan is not allowed to go out because of the fear of being discovered. What is the difference between this behavior and imprisoning him in disguise?

He should not be trapped in a small space, but should live freely and unconstrained in the human world.

Cheng Shuinan couldn't fit into Zhang Jingshu's down jacket. Although he looked thin, he had a strong frame and broad shoulders. He could only manage to wear autumn sweatshirt and pants. However, they took the elevator directly to the parking lot, and the heater in the car kept him warm.

After being fully armed, Zhang Jingshu drove Cheng Shuinan to a shopping mall in another district.

Cheng Shuinan, wearing a mask, looked unhappy, with his brows lowered and looking very aggrieved.

Zhang Jingshu knew the reason just by thinking.

Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at the mall, before we even got out of the car, Cheng Shuinan sat in the passenger seat and refused to move.

"Zhang Jingshu, that's how it's played out in TV dramas. You have to unbuckle my seatbelt, then suddenly kiss me..."
