Noi's kiss was forceful, as if she were venting her emotions.

During the year he spent with her after he ran away, he was always very careful.

He dared not do anything rash, afraid that she would leave him, afraid that she would not want him anymore.

He tried hard to control his emotions.

However, in the end, all he got in return was her hurt and her abandonment.

Since she would leave no matter what he did, he might as well unleash his inner desires completely.

He held her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.

She had a faint smell of the sea on her; she was transforming into a mermaid.

This proves that the kiss in the sea four years ago was not a dream.

Mu Tiantian was a little breathless from the kiss and subconsciously pushed him away.

Just then, a sound came from the stairwell in the distance.

Noy had excellent hearing. He picked her up and jumped out of the window.

The feeling of weightlessness made Mu Tiantian instinctively hug Nuoyi tighter.

Noy just kissed her.

So he likes her?

But she had clearly tested him before, and even made a bet with Qi Tong.

After she rescued him from the Duke's mansion, she went to hide and live in seclusion.

Qi Tong once teased her: "I think Noi definitely likes you. I saw him kiss your cheek while you were sleeping."

Mu Tiantian: [Seriously? It's about building trust, not affection, and he's so young.]

Qi Tong: [He's already the same height as you, okay? Besides, merfolk mature early; he's equivalent to an eighteen-year-old human right now.]

Mu Tiantian: [But isn't kissing on the cheek a normal thing in this country?]

Brothers, sisters, relatives, and friends express their affection by kissing each other on the cheek.

Qi Tong: [Let's make a bet.]

Mu Tiantian became interested: [Want to bet with me? What are we betting on? How? At least three thousand points, or I won't do it.]

Seven Unifications: [Money-grubber, here's what you do: tell him you've got your eye on a guy. If he gets angry, jealous, and his trust level drops, then I win. If he doesn't react at all, then you win. Five thousand points, wanna try?]

Mu Tiantian: [Deal!]

Afterwards, Mu Tiantian drew several portraits of men, all of whom were outstanding-looking men living nearby, and then presented these portraits to Nuoyi.

"Little Noi, come here and take a look. Which of these people is the best-looking?"

Upon hearing Mu Tiantian's voice, Nuoyi came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, looking like a stay-at-home husband, and sat down next to Mu Tiantian.

When he saw the man's portrait, his expression changed slightly, but he remained calm and asked curiously like a well-behaved child, "Sister, aren't they the brothers who always bring us food? What's wrong?"

"Which one of them do you think would be suitable to be your brother-in-law?" Mu Tiantian asked, observing Noyi's reaction.

Noy picked up the portraits and thought carefully. Pointing to one of the people, she said, "This older brother is the most handsome, but I heard he has many women pursuing him, so he's not suitable. This person is very nice, but his looks don't match my sister's. This one..."

In the end, none of them were suitable.

Actually, all of these men had some interest in Mu Tiantian, and if she were willing to get married, they would all be willing to marry her.

Qi Tong: [See? He doesn't think any of them are suitable.]

Mu Tiantian: [His trust level hasn't dropped.]

Just when Qi Tong thought he had won, Nuo Yi asked seriously, "None of these people are suitable for you, sister. Do you want to get married?"

Mu Tiantian nodded, "I'm of marriageable age, it's time for me to get married."

"How about this, I'll help you find a man. The man you marry must be excellent in both appearance and character, right, sister?" Noi said, looking very obedient, genuinely thinking of her best interests.

"And..." Noy went to the kitchen and brought out the dessert he made, placing it in front of Mu Tiantian. He continued, "He cooks better than me and is willing to cook for his sister so that she won't get tired."

Mu Tiantian tried a small cake, and her skills were just as good as hers.

He has only been learning to cook for a few months.

Mu Tiantian was moved to tears; she was so well-behaved.

"Then you can't forget your sister after you get married," Mu Tiantian said casually.

"No, I'll treat you like a wife, so the man you find in the future must be just as good as me." Noi blinked her big eyes and asked innocently, "Right, sister?"

“My Nuoyi is right, none of these people are good enough for me.” Mu Tiantian became arrogant after Nuoyi’s words and threw away the portrait.

Noi looked at the portrait thrown into the trash can and said obediently, "Sister, I'm going to throw away the trash."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

After saying that, Noe picked up the trash bag and went out the door.

The moment Noy closed the door, his face instantly darkened, and an invisible force tore the portrait in the trash bag to shreds.

When he returned, she obediently washed Mu Tiantian's clothes as usual.

Aside from being excessively obedient, he showed absolutely no other abnormalities.

Qi Tong couldn't believe it: "No, this can't be happening."

Mu Tiantian: [Here you go, 5000 points.]

Qi Tong lamented: [A huge miscalculation!]

It originally wanted to trick Mu Tiantian into giving it a few thousand points.

Based on Noe's behavior and the opportunity for trust to grow, it's obvious that he likes her.

How could it have turned out like this?

That was a huge miscalculation.

Mu Tiantian was naturally happy to hear the notification that her points had been credited to her account.

He didn't like her, so she should be glad. If she left in the future, at least she wouldn't leave him with a shadow in terms of love.

But I don't know why I feel inexplicably lost.

Seeing that she wasn't as excited as it had expected about winning points, Qitong asked, "What's wrong? Does he not like you? Are you unhappy?"

Mu Tiantian smiled: 【How could that be?】

Seven Unifications: [Just a reminder, his trust level is almost full. The shallower the feelings, the less painful it will be when you detach yourself from his memories and emotions.]

Mu Tiantian: [Seven, I suddenly realized that it's easy to get points by betting against you. How about we bet a few more times?]

Seven Systems: [...]

Seven: [Goodbye!]

Mu Tiantian successfully changed the subject. At that time, she had never delved into her own feelings, or perhaps she didn't dare to.

Looking back now, I think she liked him too.

She felt no aversion to his kiss; on the contrary, she even liked it.

Noe carried her into the car.

Nida also met the "sister" that her master had been looking for.

They looked exactly like the mermaid I saw last night, but upon closer inspection, there were some differences between them.

"Drive." Noe's voice was calm, but somewhat serious.

Her entire aura is completely different from before.

If we compare it to animals...

He used to be like a well-behaved little white rabbit, but now he's like a big bad wolf lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.

...It's a bit creepy.

Mu Tiantian remembered what Qi Tong had said: to act cute and charming... but would that work?

Let's try it first and see if it works or not.

Mu Tiantian's voice softened, her face full of guilt as she said, "Nuoyi... I'm sorry... I..."

Before she could finish her apology, her lips were sealed again, and she let out a sob.

Nida instinctively turned around when she heard the sound, then quickly turned her head back, almost losing her grip on the steering wheel.

Aren't they siblings? Aren't they related by blood?

Nida was puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak in this situation, so he could only concentrate on driving.
