A flash of silver lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating He Mo's somewhat mischievous face. "Why, you didn't expect I already knew that, did you?"

Zhong Qing's scalp tingled, and it took him a while to find his voice again. His voice was bitter, "Yeah, I really didn't expect you to already know who I am."

Once Xiao Mo knows his identity, will he still regard him as a man? I'm afraid he will think of him as the greedy kid who is having fun in Shuiyang City. How can he make Xiao Mo realize his feelings? It seems to be even more difficult.

"It was some time ago, when you were not in the Fifth Legion, that Xiao Ba and I met." He Mo put his hands behind his head, trying to make his tone sound less heavy. "Ever since the battle in Shuiyang City, I've been looking for you and Xiao Ba. I thought you were already... Fortunately, you are still alive. The moment I found Xiao Ba, I don't know how to describe my feelings. Surprise, joy, these words can't describe my emotions..."

Zhong Qing stared at the young man sitting next to him with a stern gaze, his eyes a little dazed. He couldn't help but murmur softly: "Actually, I've also been looking for you for a long time..."

It had been so long that he was almost desperate. You can imagine how excited he was when he found him. He even couldn't help but want to pray to God, thank you for returning my Xiao Mo to me.

"I'm really happy to meet you and Xiao Ba again, no matter who you are now..."

As he spoke, He Mo's voice gradually became softer, and he actually fell asleep, but a smile of joy from the heart still remained on his face.

"Good night." Zhong Qing whispered good night, staring at the young man's sleeping face, and tried to move his head closer to Xiao Mo, as if this way, his heart and Xiao Mo's would be closer.

On the narrow seat, the young man lay quietly, half of his face shrouded in shadow, his collarbone clearly visible under his neck. He seemed to have had a nightmare, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his eyelashes trembled slightly as his brows wrinkled.

"No~" the young man muttered in a dreamy voice, his rosy lips turning a little pale.

"What kind of nightmare did you have?" The tall man walked over, and the strong breath enveloped the young man who was having a nightmare. He stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on the young man's head, stroking it soothingly.

The young man suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed the man's collar, and murmured: "I'm so thirsty~"

"I'll get you some water." The man whispered to comfort the young man, but the young man's hand never let go of the man's clothes, and he held it tighter and tighter.

The man was somewhat helpless: "How can I get water if you hold me? Be good and let go first, okay?"

The young man's brow furrowed fiercely, and he wouldn't let go, increasing the strength in his hands and pulling the defenseless man closer.

The man's head moved closer to the sleeping young man, so close that their breaths almost tangled together. He stared at the young man's restless sleeping face and finally couldn't help but press his lips to those pale lips...

Why is it furry... Zhong Qing opened his eyes in a daze, and was facing a golden lion head. The little guy squatted on his chest, with his paws on his mouth, and looked at the blushing human in front of him with his innocent big eyes. He felt strange in his heart, why did the body temperature of this human rise while sleeping, and he was quite warm.

Zhong Qing took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in his body, took away the little golden lion's claws, looked at the seat next to him, it was empty, turned his head and looked out through the transparent screen, he could see the figure of a young man walking on the beach.

Zhong Qing felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only this little lion was there.

After a good sleep, he felt almost refreshed, and the fatigue from these days had basically disappeared. Zhong Qing washed his face with the fresh water he collected yesterday. The little lion circled around him, whimpering from time to time.

The sea breeze in the early morning was very comfortable. The violent storm last night seemed to be just an illusion. The sea returned to calm after a night. The mermaid was half lying on the rock, supporting her chin with her hand and looking into the distance. Her soft long hair was half draped over her slender back, and the other half slipped into the sea, floating slowly with the water, more beautiful than a painting.

"You're awake. Did you sleep well last night?" He Mo hugged the little golden lion that rushed towards him and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I slept well." Zhong Qing nodded. The heat in his body suddenly began to rise again. He tried his best to make his tone sound natural before saying, "The little golden lion kept pestering me. I couldn't communicate with it and didn't know what it was saying."

"Hahaha." Hearing this, He Mo laughed loudly, throwing the little golden lion into the air and catching it again: "It's urging you to get up and be its chef, you lazy pig. Ever since it tasted the cooked food you made, it refuses to eat sashimi."

The little golden lion loves the daily tossing exercise, and his little tail swings high in the air.

"Then I'll go make food for you." Zhong Qing turned around anxiously, trying hard to restrain his desire to hug and kiss the young man, but the dream in the morning was deeply engraved in his mind like a leech, making him want to hold Xiao Mo tightly in his arms.

Thanks to the efforts of the mermaid and Zhong Qing, the three people and one beast had another delicious seafood feast. The deep-sea shrimps and crabs that were eliminated yesterday were the main food today.

The little golden lion held down the big red prawn with one of its little paws, lowered its head and bit the prawn head fiercely, then tore it apart. After yesterday's training, it was able to solve the problem of the prawn shell on its own.

"Xiao Mo, this big crab has a lot of crab roe. Come, have some."

Maybe it's because she's a mermaid, but the quality of the seafood Shenlan catches is always very good. He Mo held up the crab in his hand and said, "You can have some. This one in my hand is also very plump and delicious."

The crab meat is snow-white and full of sweetness. The meat in each crab leg is particularly plump. One bite is very satisfying. If there were special seasonings, it would definitely taste even better, He Mo thought with some regret.

Time passed day by day, and soon, a month had arrived.

The three of them gathered together and decided to take a small spaceship back to the central star tomorrow.

After making the decision, Shenlan suddenly grabbed Zhong Qing, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her watery eyes charming and affectionate.

During this month, the scales on the mermaid's tail have almost grown. The scales are like jade. Although they are black, they do not look evil at all. Instead, they add to the mermaid's mystery. The mermaid, who is already extremely beautiful, has even gained a lot of invisible charm.

“!@￥%…………” The mermaid spoke shyly.

There was a momentary crack on Zhong Qing's cold face. This mermaid had bad intentions!
