Chapter 080 Crazy Tentacles-19 (End)

"Son, come here for a moment. Mom has something to ask you."

Meng Tang walked over to his mother, and Princess Octopus looked her son over from head to toe.

"What's wrong, mom?"

Meng Tang was a little confused, lowered his head and sniffed himself, "I took a good shower, Jiang Yan doesn't like smelly people."

Princess Octopus touched Meng Tang's shoulder and said, "Tell me the truth, you two were up there yesterday."

Meng Tang's eyes widened, and after a moment he smiled brilliantly, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Oh, Mom, you are worried about this."

"Don't worry, I will give you a big fat octopus baby when the time comes."

Princess Octopus took a breath and said to her son, "Giving birth to a baby is a very painful thing. You must treat it well during this period."

"That's a must."

Jiang Yan watched the mother and son muttering to each other, while he chatted with the Octopus King.

"My son is a good swimmer. If he falls into the sea, you don't have to worry about him." The Octopus King began to introduce his son, like a matchmaker, "Although he sometimes doesn't think very well, he is a very honest and responsible person."

"Actually, I lied to you too." Jiang Yan said, "I agreed to date her, no, him, because it was a job requirement."

As the Octopus King was listening, he suddenly let out an "Ah".

"My son had a miserable life. He was taken away by a shark when he was just born. Fortunately, he was small at that time and slipped out of the shark's mouth, which saved his life. But this was also a great ordeal." The Octopus King said with a melancholy look, "But later, he was washed ashore and was exposed to the sun on the beach for several hours. He almost died of thirst."

“It’s really not easy for him to live.”

Jiang Yan raised his eyelids, "...It's not easy for me either."

The Octopus King's eyes lit up, "Isn't that a coincidence? Isn't it said that couples are only truly married after they have been through life and death together?"

Jiang Yan: “…”

It seems that the Octopus couple is trying to bring him and Mengtang together.

Jiang Yan's personal impression of Mengtang is pretty average. He can't say that he likes it very much, nor does he hate it. He can only say that it makes him feel less lonely.

"We don't want to force you, we just hope you will think about it carefully." said the Octopus King.

Jiang Yan replied: "Okay."

At night, the octopus couple left with their guards, leaving behind a box of pearls.

Jiang Yan only saw it when he returned to his room.

A box of glowing things lay in the corner of the room, shining brightly, and the light even covered the neon lights outside the window at night.

"Aren't you octopuses?"

Meng Tang stepped forward and closed the lid of the box. "This is what my parents earned with their own skills."

"You guys in the underwater world also have to go to work?"

Meng Tang nodded, "Of course, we have to eat too."

Jiang Yan: "I thought you, an octopus prince, would not do such things."

Meng Tang waved his hands, "My parents are very strict, and everyone has to work."

"But you can see that my parents really like you. They are usually very stingy. They only gave me one pearl on my birthday, but now they directly sent me a whole box."

Jiang Yan said, "Then you can go back. I don't need these."

Meng Tang shook his head hastily, "No, that won't work. The betrothal gift has been given, so there's no reason to take it back."

Jiang Yan was stunned. It turned out that the Octopus couple had set a trap for him before leaving.

"Speaking of which, my dear, we have already met our parents. When are we going to get married?"

"Who is your wife?"

"Haven't I always called you that before?" Meng Tang tilted his head and asked in confusion, "How about calling you...baby?"

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, because at this time three children came in. He looked at Meng Xiaolu who was in the front. When he thought that they were all octopus people, he felt a little strange. "Why don't you go back together?"

The three children said in unison, "I'm sorry."

"Why apologize?"

"We shouldn't have lied to you together with my brother."

Jiang Yan sighed, "Don't do that next time."

"Go home."

"Woo." The three children were still standing there, motionless.

"If you don't leave, I'll enroll you in a school."

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, the three children ran away immediately.

Jiang Yan remembered that there was a Mengtang. He turned his head and found that this man had already tied an apron on his own initiative and started cooking in an orderly manner.

"I cooked for you, so you can't chase me away."

Along with it came a statement that sounded a bit annoying.

Jiang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, you can stay."

After the last mission, his boss gave him a long vacation. In addition to him, several colleagues also took vacation.

It is said that after so many years of hard work, society has become more harmonious and the monsters no longer cause trouble.

Although some colleagues speculated that the boss used the excuse of letting them play games as an excuse to actually fire them, in fact, they still had a lot of money in their salary cards while on vacation.

In the employee group.

[Xiao Li: Wow, it’s okay if I don’t go to work, but there are still a few hundred more dollars in the card. Did our boss win the lottery by buying money?]

[Sister Chen: It is said that the boss has tied up with a rich man, and our salaries are paid by him. This rich man is the one I told you about before, the one who invested in building our office.]

[Little M: I love my boss. He actually uses the money he earned from being kept to support us. I am touched!]

[Xiao Li: Don’t talk nonsense, the boss made his money based on his own ability!]

[Sister Chen: You’re right. With our boss’s looks, she’s almost as pretty as our Xiao Jiang.]

Jiang Yan who was inexplicably cueed:?

The days when I’m not working are really fun.

Jiang Yan was really bored to death, and even agreed to some ridiculous proposals from Meng Tang and went on a date with him.

Not only did we watch several movies, we also rode the Ferris wheel.

It was late at night, and only a dim table lamp was on in the room. Jiang Yan lowered his head slightly, stroking the diamond ring on his finger, which was the one Meng Tang had given him when he proposed to him on the Ferris wheel.

Maybe it was because it was late and his nerves were tired, or maybe it was because the atmosphere in the Ferris wheel was just right, Jiang Yan actually agreed.

Jiang Yan smiled without knowing the emotion. He didn't know why, but ever since he agreed to Meng Tang, he had a feeling of anxiety and fear of loss, as if Meng Tang would leave him or disappear from the face of the earth in the next second.

The person next to me was still sleeping soundly. In the silent night, Jiang Yan was the only one still awake.

Suddenly, a nerve in my brain hurt.

Some vague memories that had been buried for a long time suddenly became clear in my mind.

It's the dreams I had before.

The snakes, spiders, shadows in the dream... appeared in his memory, and these creatures that had transformed into humans in his dream looked exactly the same as Meng Tang now.

Gradually, Jiang Yan realized something was strange.

Is there a possibility that the world he is in now... is also a dream?

It was as if something was manipulating him, creating a world for him, and then placing him in this fictional world. Then, a pair of invisible eyes were watching him silently.

And these days Jiang Yan always feels uncomfortable.

"Well, what's wrong with my wife? Why aren't you sleeping?"

Meng Tang opened his eyelids drowsily, stayed awake for a second, and then fell asleep again in a daze.

Jiang Yan was completely unaware and seemed to be talking to himself: "I think this world... is also fake."

"Mengtang...are you real?"

Meng Tang said unconsciously in his coma: "Oh, my dear... you can't, you can't think I'm fake just because I look strange."

hiss.

There was a strange feeling in my abdomen.

Jiang Yan lifted the quilt and suddenly found that his belly was... a little bigger.

Eat too much at night?

Jiang Yan blinked and murmured helplessly: "Why is my belly getting bigger?"

Meng Tang was already fast asleep and no one answered him.

A gust of wind blew, the small table lamp flickered and ran out of power, and the room suddenly became dark.

Jiang Yan also fell asleep unknowingly.

…

A few months later.

“My tummy!”

In the bathroom, Jiang Yan looked at himself in the mirror with horror, and saw that his abdomen was becoming more and more protruding, even bulging out at a very obvious angle because of his shirt.

In fact, during this period Jiang Yan could find that his belly was getting bigger little by little, but he comforted himself that it might be because he was no longer working and was eating too well, so it was natural for him to gain some weight.

But today, he could no longer deceive himself.

He had reached the point where he would gasp for breath after taking just a few steps.

Jiang Yan was breathing rapidly, with tension, anxiety, and fear surging in his heart.

His current symptoms really look like... pregnancy.

But he is a man, this shouldn't happen.

Meng Tang, who came over after hearing the noise, was very surprised when he saw Jiang Yan's appearance. He then hurried to support his wife, blurting out "Fuck".

Meng Tang carefully took Jiang Yan back to the bedroom, "Hey, wife, go slowly."

Meng Tang poured a cup of hot water for Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan took a sip, but felt uncomfortable and spit it out. Meng Tang immediately wiped his wife's face with a tissue.

"What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Yan's eyes were a little blurry, and he stared straight at Meng Tang.

Meng Tang probably knew what was going on. He glanced at Jiang Yan, scratched his head in confusion, and said in an unnatural tone: "Wife, you are pregnant."

"Are you serious?"

Meng Tang nodded stiffly, and then coaxed, "Wife, calm down first."

"I'm a man." Jiang Yan shook his head and said in disbelief.

Meng Tang hugged Jiang Yan gently and said, "You know I am an octopus. I have never told you that even though we are of the same gender, we octopuses are also capable of getting the same sex pregnant."

"But we just...just did it once."

"I have strong genes." Meng Tang said softly, his eyes drooping and falling on Jiang Yan's bulging belly, "Wife, you are pregnant with our baby."

Jiang Yan's pupils were shocked and he almost fainted.

Meng Tang lowered his head, rubbed Jiang Yan's neck like a wild animal, and said coquettishly: "Wife, let's give birth to the baby, okay?"

Jiang Yan spread his fingers apart and covered his face in a state of collapse, "I can't accept it."

Meng Tang kissed Jiang Yan's neck and asked softly, "My dear wife, do you love me?"

Jiang Yan said, “I don’t know.”

Meng Tang showed a second of disappointment, then he grinned brightly, "Forget it, wife, if you don't want to have a baby, then we won't have one."

Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised by Meng Tang's sudden change. He exhaled slowly and said helplessly, "Does this mean I can just not have a baby?"

Jiang Yan felt a little headache and leaned on Meng Tang's shoulder.

Meng Tang widened his eyes, swallowed, and reached out to hold Jiang Yan to prevent him from slipping.

"Giving birth... is it painful?"

Meng Tang shook his head, then nodded vigorously, "If it hurts a lot, you can give me half first."

Jiang Yan: "...Do you think I'm made of plasticine? Can I stick together piece by piece?"

Mengtang laughed “hehe” a little idiotically.

"Suddenly I feel like this is not a dream anymore." Jiang Yan said suddenly.

Meng Tang was confused, "What dream?"

Jiang Yan's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he said lazily, "I had a few dreams. In the dreams, there were snakes, spiders, and dark shadow monsters. They were all like you, and they would turn into humans. What's more coincidental is that after turning into humans, they looked exactly like you now."

"Huh? You've seen me in your dream?" Meng Tang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a happy smile.

Jiang Yan glanced at him and said, "You are not getting the point right."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Meng Tang's silly look, Jiang Yan couldn't bear to look at him, "To put it simply, I may not be from this world."

"It's also possible that the world we live in now is just a figment of my imagination."

Meng Tang puffed out his lips, opened his big eyes, and turned around in confusion.

After a long while, he finally responded, "Oh...wife, you mean that this world is your dream, and I am the person in your dream."

Jiang Yan said uncertainly: "I'm just guessing."

"That's fine."

Hearing the happy sighs from the people around him, Jiang Yan was puzzled.

Meng Tang smiled and said, "I actually appeared in my wife's dream, which means you still have me in your heart."

"..." Jiang Yan was silent for a while, "Forget it, just go with the flow."

"But, do you think the one in my belly is a human or..."

"Octopus babies." Meng Tang stared at Jiang Yan's belly. "Actually, anything is fine, as long as you give birth to it. But octopus babies are smaller, so they should be easier to give birth to."

Jiang Yan rubbed his eyes, his face already showing fatigue, "It's all right, I'm sleepy."

Meng Tang's eyes lit up, "Then come to sleep with me, my wife. I'll sing a lullaby for you!"

Jiang Yan hesitated, "Are you singing for me, or for the baby in my belly?"

Mengtang said again: "Sing for you!"

…

A few days later.

Jiang Yan gave birth.

Because the couple's species was special, the delivery was delivered by a midwife invited from the sea by Mengtang.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you need to see a doctor or not. The octopus eggs were pulled out with ginger and salt, and there was a basin full of them.

It was white and sticky, and formed a mess in the basin of water.

"Wife, look at them, do they look like me?" Meng Tang hugged Jiang Yan and looked at the little lives in the basin with joy in his eyes.

Jiang Yan didn't have the energy to answer Meng Tang. He just wanted to vomit.

…

After a few more days, the octopus eggs took shape.

One night, Jiang Yan, who was sleeping in her arms, felt his face itchy and a little wet.

Moonlight came in through the window. With the help of a little moonlight shadow, Jiang Yan saw several tiny, transparent octopus babies standing next to his face.

Their tentacles were still very small and short, like the tentacles of a snail, and they slowly stretched out towards Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan raised one of his fingers and tried to touch it. As soon as he touched it, the baby octopus shyly retracted its tentacles and curled itself up into a ball, turning into a round bun.

The other octopus babies who were not holding hands with their mothers didn't understand why their brother suddenly curled up.

The remaining octopus babies were curious and stretched out their transparent little tentacles.

Jiang Yan saw this and pointed his finger at them one by one. Then, a funny scene appeared: the octopuses that were touched shrank back like springs, and then curled up one by one, becoming the same as the first octopus.

Kind of cute.

Jiang Yan watched as the baby octopuses suddenly turned into soft little stones, and couldn't help but reach out and poke the part that looked like their spines. However, they were too soft and a hole was poked into it, causing Jiang Yan's fingers to sink into it.

At this time, Meng Tang, who realized that his wife had left his arms, slowly woke up.

"What's wrong, wife?"

Meng Tang said vaguely, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, raised his body slightly, and moved towards Jiang Yan.

Then he saw his wife teasing the baby octopuses that had secretly climbed onto the bed.

"Well, aren't they in the basin? How did they get onto the bed?"

"Maybe the bed is more comfortable." Jiang Yan said casually, his whole attention still on the baby octopuses. He found them very interesting and couldn't help wanting to touch these cute and soft baby octopuses.

Seeing that his wife focused all her attention on the baby, Meng Tang became a little jealous. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Yan's sleeve, saying stickyly, "Wife, you are biased."

"How are you biased? Weren't you the one who kept shouting that you wanted a baby?" Jiang Yan said as he picked up one of the baby octopuses and held it in his palm.

Meng Tang released two thick and long tentacles, waving them in front of Jiang Yan's eyes as if competing for his favor, "Wife, I have a bigger and thicker one here, can you play with me?"

Jiang Yan's expression froze, he felt that this was a bit strange.

Meng Tang was completely unaware and continued to say coquettishly: "Go back to sleep with me and ignore them for now."

"Okay." Jiang Yan said, her eyes still on the baby octopuses, "Then I'll put you in the basin first. Don't come out again, or you will run out of water. Mom will come to play with you tomorrow."

Jiang Yan put the baby octopus back into the basin, and when he returned to the bed, Meng Tang hugged him.

"You're strangling me."

Meng Tang groaned, "I'm angry because she didn't sleep with my husband in the middle of the night and went to play with other little things."

Jiang Yan: “…”

"Okay, I'll coax you then."

"It takes three kisses to coax her! One on the left cheek, one on the right cheek, and one on the mouth."

“…”

Many days later, Jiang Yan and Meng Tang held their wedding ceremony at the beach.

The wedding was attended by Jiang Yan's colleagues and a host of sea creatures.

Jiang Yan was not used to wearing women's clothes, so he and Meng Tang both wore formal dresses.

During this time, Jiang Yan even joked: "Why don't you just wear a wedding dress? Don't you like women's clothes very much?"

Meng Tang shook his head, "No, I'm your husband, and husbands don't wear skirts."

Under the bright sunshine, the sea breeze swept along the beach, blowing up the corners of their dresses.

The MC was an old octopus, half of his body was in the sea and half of his body was above the sea level. One of his tentacle held a microphone and he went through the process muttering, "Mr. Octopus, are you willing to marry this human bride in front of you?"

Meng Tang looked at Jiang Yan with a smile and said solemnly, "I do."

The MC nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Excuse me, human bride, are you willing to marry Mr. Octopus in front of you?"

Under the gazes of countless people, Jiang Yan steadied his breath and spoke slowly:

"So would I."

The words were carried into the sea by the wind, causing waves.

The octopus babies floating in the sea were so moved by their parents' love that they waved their tiny tentacles. The mermaids' singing could be heard from behind their tiny backs, and the beautiful notes danced on the beach along with the sunshine.

Amidst the warm applause, Meng Tang leaned over and kissed Jiang Yan on the lips, unable to let go.

The picture freezes at this moment.

It's so beautiful that it looks like a painting that only appears in dreams.
