In a dimly lit room filled with seawater, a man with dragon horns and tail, silver hair, and golden eyes, and a mermaid with long, gray hair and a golden fish tail leaned against each other.

He was speaking slowly, and he was listening attentively.

Long Xun didn't look at Yin Chen, so he didn't notice the heartache that gradually appeared in Yin Chen's eyes.

I feel sorry for him because of the hurt he suffered in his ignorance, and I feel sorry for him because I forgot our past in reincarnation, leaving him to carry the memories alone.

How could I forget?

How could he forget?

How wonderful it would be if I could remember?

Wouldn't he be less cautious?

It's like a clam that's been hurt enough and has retreated into its shell. When it closes its hard shell, it seems invincible, but when it opens the shell, it finds that it's full of incredibly soft flesh.

Even after Long Xun's story ended, Yin Chen was still immersed in those stories that weren't particularly epic, but were tinged with sadness and warmth, yet they made him feel very, very heartbroken.

After a long silence, Long Xun's cold voice rang out again: "Ah Chen, that's how it is. How can I make a promise to you when I can't even be sure of my own feelings?"

"So what?" Yin Chen suddenly reached out and cupped his face with both hands, making him turn to face him.

Their eyes met, and Yin Chen smiled slyly and happily, like a fox that had stolen a chicken: "So we've been together for so long, and you've only ever liked me!"

"Huh?" Long Xun didn't understand his words for a moment.

Yin Chen vigorously rubbed his face. Long Xun's face was very three-dimensional. You couldn't see it on his cheeks, but there was a very tender and soft layer of flesh. When Yin Chen rubbed it like that, it all piled up into a ball, making him look cute.

"I was so worried! What if you don't like me? What if you don't agree to be my partner? You kept it a secret for too long! If you had told me sooner, we could have gotten married sooner and had a bunch of little mermaids to play with!"

Yin Chen felt as if he was about to be overwhelmed by immense happiness.

He sincerely thanked his past lives. If they hadn't relentlessly and unrepentantly tried to win over the dragon god in front of him, how could he be hearing such exciting words now?

If you're willing to consider whether it might hurt him, then you care about him!

Don't you see that poor Yin Er, whose heart was ripped out, only received an apology in return for his confession on the verge of death?

But he actually took a bite out of Ah Xun, thus entering into a partnership contract, and he didn't get beaten up! He didn't get beaten up! He didn't get beaten up!

Important things must be said three times!

Don't you see that poor emperor who was ignored by Ah Xun from beginning to end, even though he was crying so miserably, Ah Xun didn't even turn his head once!

But Ah Xun would feel heartache for his injured hand! Heartache for him! Heartache for him!

Important things must be repeated three times!

Um... and that little kid was raised by Ah Xun as if he were his son!

But he still remembered the day Ah Xun came to the bar with him, and how she was actually unhappy because he was too frivolous! Unhappy! Unhappy!

Happiness is something that comes from comparison, and Yin Chen felt like she was about to die of happiness.

Although those miserable lives seemed to be his past lives, even with the memories, he felt overwhelmed by a sense of happiness!

After all, Long Xun's attitude was different from that of the other fish. From beginning to end, he was the only one. There was no one else, never.

As for talking about past lives and present lives...

It's really too much of a waste of time to be jealous of yourself.

Look, that Bei Chengqi is courting death!

—It has to be said that, as a fish with a perverse and shameless nature, Yin Chen has a really big heart, a very big heart.

Long Xun felt a little bewildered. He grabbed Yin Chen's hand, which was excitedly squeezing his cheeks, looked at him seriously, and asked hesitantly, "You... don't mind?"

"Of course I don't mind!" Yin Chen said quickly. "As long as you're not against me, that's fine. As for the rest? Don't overthink it!"

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Yin Chen involuntarily twisted his body, his voice trembling as he said, "I feel like I'm about to fly to the sky with happiness~~~~ Ah Xun, I'm so happy..."

Long Xun stared at him for a long time.

To be honest, Yin Chen's expression at this moment was not beautiful at all. Because he was trying hard to suppress his silly smile, his face was a little distorted, making him look particularly idiotic and bizarre.

But for some reason, Long Xun felt that this distorted face, with its excited expression, seemed to be contagious, bringing a warm current into his heart.

The wounds that were once torn in my heart by hatred seem to be gradually healing.

Long Xun suddenly felt a strong urge to kiss him.

So when he thought that way, he did it.

Long Xun, who had been quietly watching Yin Chen go crazy, suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against the back of Yin Chen's head. Just as Yin Chen showed a surprised expression, Long Xun, with a blank face, leaned in and pressed his lips to Yin Chen's. His tongue skillfully slipped into Yin Chen's slightly parted lips and teeth, and danced gracefully with Yin Chen's tongue.

Yin Chen was slightly taken aback, but immediately took the initiative and wrapped his arms around Long Xun's neck, kissing him passionately.

Both Long Xun and Yin Chen are pathetic novices with only one experience of such a deep kiss, and this one experience was the product of their cockfighting.

So, not long after they kissed, Yin Chen was bitten on the tongue by the silly Long Xun. He cried out in pain, turned his face away, and hissed and gasped for breath while covering his mouth.
