After putting her things down, Lan Yin explained, "I ran into... an elder today. He asked me to take care of something, so I'm late."
Thinking of the oppressive feeling brought by the elder, Lan Yin felt a little tired, but he didn't want to bring his bad mood to Yu Wanwan and didn't want to tell her these things.
Although it was only for a moment, Yu Wanwan still sensitively noticed that he was in a bad mood.
Yu Wanwan squatted down beside him, looking up at him: "Was it difficult for that elder to ask you to do something? I sense you're not in a good mood."
Lan Yin pursed her lips: "Yes, there is some truth to it. He said it was for my own good, but I don't want to do it, yet I can't refuse."
His expression showed a mixture of helplessness and annoyance.
Yu Wanwan felt that she could understand his feelings very well. When her parents had just passed away, a relative took her to his home, ostensibly to take care of her.
During that time, they felt that taking her in was a great favor, and they always liked to ask her to do this and that, saying it was to train her to be independent and for her own good, but in reality it was just moral blackmail and they just wanted money.
Their situations may be somewhat different, but the objects of their troubles are the same.
Lan Yin didn't say much. Yu Wanwan thought for a moment and then pulled him to sit down.
Before Lan Yin could react, soft, delicate fingers stroked his head.
A gentle voice came from above his head: "I noticed you were frowning, you looked tired and had a headache. This is how we press when we have a headache in my hometown. See if it makes you feel any better."
Yu Wanwan gently massaged his temples.
Actually, she didn't know if it would work, since she had never studied massage and could only do it from memory.
But Yu Wanwan forgot that Lan Yin wasn't human, he was a beastman, a mermaid, so where would he get temples?
Although the aura behind her was very faint, Lan Yin felt that its presence was so strong that it could not be ignored.
Her voice, her scent, her touch, like seawater, enveloped him intimately, not only touching his skin but also seeping into his limbs and bones, so that he could feel it no matter what he did.
His breathing was a little rapid, and his throat was dry.
It took him a long time to finally say, "It seems... a little better."
But actually, it's not just a little better, it's far better. The moment she gets close to him, he can't even think about anything, let alone think about the elders.
After a futile massage, Lan Yin looked much better, so she stopped and rubbed her wrist.
Lan Yin turned to look at her.
Actually, he wanted Yu Wanwan to continue massaging him, but as a male, he was already being taken care of by a female, so how could he let her take care of him again and again?
He suppressed his regret, then, as if remembering something, ran to the bundle and took out the contents: "I almost forgot, you haven't eaten yet."
He placed the food he had brought on the table and pressed Yu Wanwan down to sit: "Try it quickly, I also researched a new sauce today."
Yu Wanwan picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and immediately praised, "Delicious!"
Lan Yin smiled contentedly. Although the process of preparing food was always very difficult, the little female's praise was his motivation.
Yu Wanwan ate the meat in big mouthfuls. This time, Lan Yin didn't eat with her. Instead, she stayed by the bundle and took out seashells one by one.
Yu Wanwan was very puzzled: "What's in here?"
She opened the shell, and inside were all sorts of fish meat and sauces.
Her mouth dropped open: "Why did you bring so much fish?"
How is she supposed to finish eating that?
Lan Yin said, "I have errands to run tomorrow and may not be able to visit you for a few days. This is all the food I prepared."
Yu Wanwan thought of what he had just said: "Is it to do the task that your elder gave you?"
Lan Yin nodded.
Although he was no longer tired, he was still unwilling to obey the elder's orders to go ashore and hunt down those hot-blooded beastmen.
Lan Yin looked at Yu Wanwan.
If the little female knew what she was going to do, she would definitely be unhappy, and might even be angry that he actually attacked her fellow human.
No, I absolutely mustn't tell her.
Lan Yin tightened her grip, a hint of determination in her eyes.
Yu Wanwan was quite carefree and didn't press him for details about what he was going to do. Instead, she stuffed another bite of meat into her mouth before saying, "I thought you were only going for a day. I didn't expect this to be so troublesome and take so long."
The food Lanyin brought today is enough to feed her for at least ten days.
The little female didn't ask any further questions, and Lan Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reluctant to part ways with the upcoming separation.
He really didn't want to go ashore, because if he went ashore he wouldn't see the little female for a long time.
Lan Yin said, "I promise you, I will definitely go and come back as soon as possible."
Yu Wanwan put down her chopsticks and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "It's okay, you go do your own thing, there's no need to rush, I'll take good care of myself."
Hearing her say that, Lan Yin felt a deep sense of gratitude.
The little female is so considerate; she thinks of him in every way.
He must not harm her fellow countrymen; he must ensure that she can remain openly and legitimately at the bottom of the sea!
Yu Wanwan had no idea that her words had inexplicably strengthened Lan Yin's resolve. After seeing Lan Yin off, she began a life of listless waiting.
Here, Lan Yin sat on the throne, facing the head guard who had rushed back.
