Chapter 21: The fifth set of accessories...
Ji Xia's eyes widened in shock. If Xu Ancheng had feelings for him after he changed into a mermaid costume, wouldn't he be entangled to the end?!
Ji Xia was very puzzled and asked the system: "Xu Ancheng is not a scumbag, why is he pestering me?"
"Host, Xu Ancheng is obsessed with mermaids. In the book, he was obsessed with Fu Su because Fu Su satisfied his imagination of mermaids, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else in his eyes. But now, you are the mermaid in his mind, so of course he is obsessed with you. In the book, Fu Su was imprisoned by him for two months. Host, you have to be careful."
Ji Xia's pupils trembled. He didn't expect that he would get into such big trouble.
Looking at Xu Ancheng's persistent eyes, Ji Xia would never be able to leave if his demands were not met tonight.
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment. She opened the call page and called Mr. Fu, saying, "Mr. Xu, don't be like this. I don't like you."
As soon as the call was connected, a faint vibration sounded nearby. At the same time, the system in Ji Xia's mind also broadcast an electronic tone.
"Congratulations, host. Boss Fu's favorability rating +5."
Ji Xia looked over, following the vibrations, and met a pair of dark eyes. Then, he heard a familiar, deep, pleasant voice. "Mr. Xu, Ji Xia has made it clear. I hope you won't bother me any further."
Alpha's voice was not loud, but was restrained, polite, and a little nonchalant.
But Xu Ancheng's reaction was huge.
His entire face turned pale in an instant, his brown eyes trembled violently, fear swirling in them, like surging waves, as if about to overflow from his eyes.
His handsome face was distorted by fear, and his body was shaking uncontrollably due to stress. When Fu Yuan approached, he instinctively took several steps back.
Just like a jackal that, after seeing its true overlord, tucks its arrogant tail between its legs and looks extremely embarrassed.
The three handsome guys gathered together, especially the one with a strong aura, Fu Yuan, who immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
But immediately a bodyguard in black came forward and asked the other party to put away his phone.
Xu Ancheng's voice trembled. He resisted the urge to run away and replied, "Boss Fu, I understand."
Fu Yuan cast a cold gaze on him and said, "Remember, there won't be a next time."
The top-tier Alpha hadn't even released pheromones, yet Xu Ancheng was already covered in cold sweat, his back soaked. What he had witnessed today had made him deeply aware of this man's terrifying power. The elders of the Xu family also put pressure on him not to offend the Fu family's leader.
After his pursuit was clearly rejected, if he continued to cling to her, he would definitely not end well.
But... looking at the beautiful Omega in the moonlight, desire surged in his heart. Could he really give up?!
Xu Ancheng didn’t have an answer now, but he knew very well that at this moment, he had no choice.
He said "yes" respectfully, looked at Ji Xia reluctantly, turned around and left.
Ji Xia was a little confused as he watched him flee in panic. This Xu Ancheng looked different from what he remembered. However, he had no intention of investigating further. After all, they probably wouldn't cross paths again.
He turned his gaze back to Fu Yuan, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Mr. Fu, why are you here?"
Fu Yuan said, "It's just after get off work, and Butler Xu asked me to come pick you up. Are you going home?"
Ji Xia nodded. "I've almost sold everything. I'll pack up and leave soon. I'll settle the accounts tonight and share the profits with you."
The two men quickly packed up their things and put them into the trunk of the Maybach worth tens of millions.
The car started and drove on the neon-lit streets, passing through countless buildings and crowds, heading home.
Ji Xia stared out the window at the scenery passing by, his heart warmed. His life was good now, and he was content. He paused for a moment, then opened his phone and calculated his earnings from the payment history in his VX wallet.
He was struggling with the numbers when Fu Yuan suddenly asked, "Why did Xu Ancheng ask you to wear a mermaid costume for him?"
Ji Xia was suddenly interrupted and forgot where he was just now.
He scratched his hair, swiped the page, and prepared to start over, as he replied, "He has a dream. He wants to find his own mermaid. He'll have the person he likes wear a mermaid costume, and if they're attracted to him, he'll pursue them."
Fu Yuan waited a moment before continuing to ask, "Do you want to wear it for him to see?"
Ji Xia was interrupted again. Naturally weak with numbers, he'd forget the number he'd just added and had to start over. His attention was completely focused on the numbers, and he subconsciously shook his head, saying, "No. As the saying goes, it's best not to wear a mermaid costume in front of anyone other than Mr. Fu."
Fu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Who is Tong?"
Ji Xia was stunned for a moment before realizing he had just slipped up. He immediately covered his mouth to cover it up, secretly glanced at Mr. Fu, and after their eyes met, he immediately looked away and shook his head vigorously, saying, "No, Mr. Fu, you heard it wrong."
Fu Yuan didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it, but instead said, "In that case, then wear it for me tonight, a mermaid costume."
"ah?"
Ji Xia was a little confused, her big cat-like eyes filled with surprise and confusion. How could Mr. Fu also like mermaids?!
Fu Yuan tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Don't you want to wear it?"
Ji Xia was still in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
Fu Yuan said, "I made a special detour to pick you up tonight. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Ji Xia thought it was appropriate and nodded.
Fu Yuan continued, "Then I'm making a reasonable request so you can express your gratitude, isn't that right?"
Ji Xia thought it was right and nodded again.
Fu Yuan: "Then what's the problem?"
Ji Xia thought about it and it seemed like there was no problem. He shook his head. "No."
Fu Yuan made the final decision. "Then it's decided."
Ji Xia: “…Yeah.”
The car returned to silence, with light and shadow constantly exchanging and changing into various forms, like subtle and unpredictable thoughts.
Ji Xia cautiously moved to the side. He stole a glance at Mr. Fu to make sure the Alpha wasn't paying attention. Only then did he boldly ask the system in his mind, "System, is it really okay for me to wear a mermaid costume for Mr. Fu to see? Will it make Mr. Fu angry like last time?"
"No, host. The mermaid costume is a serious outfit. Furthermore, it ranks third on the list of favorite outfits for capture targets, and is very popular among men."
Ji Xia felt relieved after hearing the system's explanation, and then she heard the system say, "If you want to change into a mermaid costume, I recommend the swimming pool for a better effect."
Ji Xia took note of it.
After returning to the villa, Ji Xia told Mr. Fu to meet him at the swimming pool in twenty minutes, and then slipped away.
Ji Xia sat barefoot by the swimming pool, waiting for the countdown to change clothes.
His feet gently swayed, the white insteps of his feet sliding across the water, creating ripples. After the system countdown reached "0", his legs were tightly wrapped by a blue fish tail.
Ji Xia felt very wonderful. Her legs did not feel restrained at all, as if they had really turned into a fish tail.
He curiously slapped the water with his tail, causing ripples to appear on the surface.
Fu Yuan walked through the corridor at the appointed time.
He paused when he reached the glass door of the living room that led to the pool.
The moon tonight is round and bright, and the silver moonlight shines down, casting a layer of transparent light on the dark swimming pool, making it seem to be glowing faintly.
A mermaid sat by the swimming pool, her long silver hair covering her naked upper body, her fair and smooth skin faintly visible.
The delicate facial features have been carefully carved, and the already lively big eyes flash with the color of waves, becoming even more fantastic under the rendering of moonlight.
He had a happy smile on his face, and the silver fish tail was playfully slapping the water, causing the entire pool of water to tremble.
The whole picture is so beautiful that it seems unreal.
Fu Yuan's eyes sank.
He reached out to open the glass door, but paused for a moment before retracting it. He turned his toes in the direction he came from, turned around, and tried to leave.
Ji Xia was happily playing in the water when the electronic announcement from the system suddenly came into his head.
"Congratulations to the host, Mr. Fu's favorability +10."
Ji Xia paused, then turned to look towards the glass door of the living room.
His movements were too fast, and his body had not yet adapted to the newly formed big tail. He lost his balance and fell directly into the swimming pool.
Even though Ji Xia has a fish tail, the system's decoration does not increase the function of skills. Ji Xia was a landlubber before and is still a landlubber now.
He could do nothing but swing his tail and wave his hands around.
Fu Yuan heard a "bang" and turned around to see Ji Xia falling into the water.
When he came to his senses, he was already in the swimming pool, holding the little mermaid in his arms.
Ji Xia put his arms around Alpha's waist, breathing heavily, his eyelashes curled like crow's wings with crystal drops of water hanging on them, falling as he blinked.
After he recovered, he whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Fu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, saying, "Isn't a mermaid who can't swim really useless?!"
Ji Xia's ears felt hot and her cheeks turned red.
He looked up at the Alpha with his glassy blue eyes, and said with a hint of grievance, "I'm just wearing a mermaid costume. I'm not a real mermaid."
Fu Yuan looked at him without saying anything.
Ji Xia felt that the look in Mr. Fu's eyes when he looked at him was very deep, and contained emotions that he could not understand. It was very dangerous, but strangely, he did not feel afraid.
They stared at each other in silence, and the air seemed to become strange. Ji Xia couldn't explain why it was strange, but he didn't hate the feeling.
I just feel a little embarrassed for some reason.
His face became even hotter, his heart began to pound, his eyelashes trembled, and he looked away, but couldn't bear to do so, so he quickly moved his eyes back.
But after looking at Mr. Fu for a while, his face felt like it was melting, and he looked away embarrassedly.
Ji Xia felt Mr. Fu's face slowly approaching him.
He nervously clutched Mr. Fu's clothes. He had a strong premonition that something was going to happen next.
He followed his instinct and slowly closed his eyes.
