Qin Zhao paused slightly.

He had been mentally prepared, but he was still a little surprised when he suddenly heard the little koi speak human language.

It turns out that the saying about evil spirits is not entirely false.

Qin Zhao paused for a moment and then picked up the teapot on the table.

...He just wanted to add a cup of tea for himself, but the little fish scared itself.

Qin Zhao finished pouring himself some tea, his demeanor completely restored to its previous composure. He propped his chin up, looked at the little fish in the water, and whispered, "Were you the one who came into my study that night?"

"……yes."

"Why do you pretend to be a servant?"

"I..." Jing Li hesitated for a moment, then met the Regent's gaze. He didn't dare lie and could only tell the truth, "I'm hungry and want to find something to eat. They thought I was going to bring you some snacks..."

“…” Even the Regent was stunned.

Qin Zhao had thought about it countless times these days, but he couldn't figure out why the young man pretended to be a servant to approach him.

Why did you leave without doing anything?

I didn't expect the answer to be so... stupid.

Qin Zhao was somewhat helpless: "Even if you were misunderstood, there is no need to appear in front of me. As far as I know, you came from the kitchen alone."

"Yeah, I felt the same way later." Jing Li whispered, "I should have taken the cakes away directly. Why would I really send you cakes? And now they are being eaten..."

The more Jing Li spoke, the more aggrieved he felt.

He was clearly thinking about this person.

Listening to the boy's tearful voice, Qin Zhao unexpectedly felt a rare pang of guilt. He took a sip of tea as if to conceal his feelings and said, "I can choose not to eat you."

The little koi was stunned.

"...Unless you transform back into human form in front of me."

As if he felt that his words sounded a little strange, Qin Zhao cleared his throat and added: "You said you have no intention of harming others, you must prove it to me. First, change back to human form to show your sincerity."

It seems to make some sense.

The little koi thought foolishly.

But he soon discovered the problem.

"Um, Your Highness..." Jing Li called him hesitantly.

Qin Zhao: "What?"

"I..." Jing Li whispered, "I can turn into a human, but I... I don't have any clothes."

He changed from a fish back into human form, but he was naked and had no clothes to wear.

Qin Zhao laughed: "You are just a little fish demon, but you still have a sense of shame."

"I already told you I'm not a monster..."

The little koi fish waved its fins unhappily.

Qin Zhao didn't argue with him. He thought about it, moved the fish tank into the inner room, and took out a piece of clothing from the closet.

"Do you want me to wait outside?" Qin Zhao asked him.

The little koi nodded: "Yeah!"

Qin Zhao followed his instructions and left the house.

He didn't walk far. Through a screen, Qin Zhao heard the sound of water rippling in the house.

There seemed to be a flash of light, followed by the sound of clothes rustling.

Hearing that voice, Qin Zhao's heartbeat inexplicably became a little rapid.

After a moment, someone walked out from behind the screen.

It was indeed the young man he met that night.

Qin Zhao's clothes were all tailored to his size, and they looked a bit loose on the boy. The loose neckline revealed a small section of his delicate collarbone, and the long sleeves hung down, covering his hands. The boy was shoeless, his bare feet treading the ground, leaving a trail of water behind him.

His hair was slightly wet and his eyes were still red, making him look like a little rabbit, pitiful and cute.

"I got your floor wet." The boy pulled his collar uncomfortably and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry..."

The author has something to say: The reason why this extra story was exposed so quickly is because it is short, with only a few chapters in total, and the pace is much faster than the main story.

This chapter sends out 100 red envelopes to compensate for yesterday's Lantern Festival. Love you guys.
