Chapter 253
Tang Yu'an covered half of his face.
The bite didn't actually hurt, it was just... so unexpected.
Why did Brother Xiaoqi suddenly kiss him and bite his face?
He rubbed his face, and the scene in his dream where Zhou Qi held his face and kissed him emerged in his mind... The boy's ears slowly turned red.
The sea breeze blew in gusts, taking away the heat from his face.
Tang Yu'an looked at the blue sea and sky in front of him. Slowly, his shyness subsided and another thought began to surge.
Speaking of which...
What does it feel like to kiss?
Although he spent most of his adolescence in another world, it's not like he had never been exposed to anything. He had watched some movies and TV shows.
In the dream, he woke up before Xiaoqi could kiss him.
Tang Yu'an sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, supporting his chin with one hand. Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed.
Why didn't he wait for Xiaoqi to finish kissing him before waking up? If he lay down to sleep again, could he continue his dream?
Although they were both boys, he didn't seem to have any bad feelings about Xiaoqi kissing him, except for feeling shy.
Now, the shame faded and curiosity took over.
After all, he will be sixteen in two months. The young boy with the budding youth has begun to have an ignorant desire to explore such things.
Tang Yu'an sat on the beach with his chin propped up, in a daze.
Suddenly, the spider silk wrapped around his wrist moved. He came to his senses and looked down to see Zhou Qi swimming back at some point.
The morning light spread across the sea, golden spots danced on the waves, and the blue fish tail swayed leisurely in the sea water, which was a beautiful sight.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but hold his breath.
So beautiful...
It seems that no matter how many times he sees it, he will be fascinated by such a scene.
Tang Yu'an sat there in a daze, watching the mermaid youth swim to the cave entrance, break through the water and appear before his eyes.
Drops of water dripped down his hair, landing on the young man's strong and muscular chest, then sliding all the way to his thin and powerful waist and abdomen, and then seeping into the shiny blue fish scales.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help swallowing.
He closed his eyes and shook his head, then looked up and saw the sapphire necklace hanging around Zhou Qi's neck, rising and falling slightly on his chest with his breathing.
The boy was stunned again.
But when his sight accidentally touched a red dot, he froze, subconsciously raised his head, and met Zhou Qi's gaze.
He stared at Tang Yu'an steadily, his dark blue eyes no longer cold, and were filled with a warm smile.
The young man held up his hands, and Tang Yu'an realized that he was holding a white seashell in his hands.
He handed the seashell to him, with a hint of flattery in his eyes.
Tang Yu'an finally came back to his senses from his trance. He looked at the seashell in Zhou Qi's hand, and then at his handsome and enchanting face.
He paused, then curled his lips and said, "Are you apologizing to me?"
Zhou Qi said nothing, but just pushed the seashell in his hand towards him again.
Tang Yu'an groaned, "I was fooled by you because I trusted you. How could you tease me like this? This is too much!"
He also didn't understand why Zhou Qi wanted to bite his face. Apart from teasing him, he couldn't think of any other reason.
The more Tang Yu'an thought about it, the more embarrassed and annoyed he became. He couldn't help but pinch his nose with his hand and scolded him, "Brother Xiaoqi, why are you so naughty in your instincts?"
Zhou Qi blinked his eyes, suddenly dropped the seashell, smiled and grabbed the boy's hand, sniffed it like yesterday, and then rubbed his cheek against the boy's palm for a while.
That undisguised love made Tang Yu'an deflate slowly like a popped balloon.
He couldn't help but wonder, Xiaoqi's instincts were so different from his usual personality, was it because... he was usually suppressing himself?
He seemed to have never seen Xiaoqige act naughty. He was very smart and always acted so steadily and powerfully, as if he knew everything and could do everything.
But, Brother Xiaoqi is only three years older than him.
He always felt that Brother Xiaoqi was like an adult who could handle anything with ease, but... was that because he was always forcing himself to grow up?
Recalling everything that happened after he came to this world and Zhou Qi's experiences since childhood, Tang Yu'an felt a sour and painful feeling in his heart.
"Okay, I forgive you." His tone softened.
Tang Yu'an stretched out his hand and rubbed the young man's wet hair, just like Zhou Qi always did to him.
"You can be naughty, now I have my protection." He said softly.
The young man who had been holding his hand and kissing and rubbing it had become quiet. He stared at Tang Yu'an blankly, not knowing whether he understood what he said.
"I won't really be mad at you. If you piss me off, just coax me."
Tang Yu'an thought about it and said, "But you can't go too far!"
But just as he finished speaking, he heard a splash and Zhou Qi jumped out of the water again and pounced on him.
Caught off guard, Tang Yu'an fell backwards onto the purple-red carpet.
“Tick-tick-tick-tick-”
Drops of water fell along the young man's hair and dripped onto the sides of his face. More water dripped from his waist, abdomen and tail, dripping onto his body and wetting his clothes.
"What are you going to do again?"
Tang Yu'an lay in the shadow cast by Zhou Qi, looking at him somewhat bewilderedly, and even began to stutter when speaking.
He found that since Zhou Qi turned into a mermaid, it was difficult to predict his behavior, and he always did things that he didn't expect.
Just like now, Zhou Qi pressed one hand on the side of his face and stroked his cheek with the other hand.
His fingertips caressed his cheek lovingly, as if that was the place where he had been bitten just now.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..."
The tail end of Tang Yu'an's words disappeared in the sound of the waves, because... Zhou Qi's fingertips touched his lips, making him unable to continue.
He stared at Zhou Qi blankly.
He could feel the slightly rough skin on Zhou Qi's fingertips, he could smell the faint salty scent of the sea, and he could also feel...
Your inner desire.
His gaze moved slightly downwards and fell on the young man's thin lips. This was the first time he observed Zhou Qi's lips like this.
Very beautiful, nice lips, rosy and red, because they had just been soaked in the sea water, and now they still have a watery sheen...
Tang Yu'an felt his heart beating faster and faster, boom, boom, boom, the echo of his heartbeat could be heard in the cave.
His mouth felt dry, and he subconsciously licked his lips. As a result, the tip of his tongue lightly touched Zhou Qi's fingertips.
Salty, the taste of sea water...
Zhou Qi had already retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, but he stopped halfway.
His gaze finally shifted from Tang Yu'an's face to his own fingers.
Then, his gaze turned back and continued to look at Tang Yu'an, and he slowly put his finger to his lips.
His eyes were fixed on Tang Yu'an so intently, but his tongue extended out to lick the moist warmth left by Tang Yu'an on his fingertips.
Tang Yu'an: "..."
His cheeks turned red immediately.
I don’t know why, Zhou Qi was clearly licking his fingers, but he felt that this scene was more impactful than when Zhou Qi kissed and licked his fingertips yesterday.
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide himself, but he couldn't help being attracted by Zhou Qi's every move.
Although they didn't have any more contact, Tang Yu'an felt the tip of his tongue become numb, as if...
What Zhou Qi licked was like his tongue.
(//o////o//)
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Tang Yu'an felt his face getting even hotter, burning all the way to his ears.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi brother..."
He called Zhou Qi softly, not knowing what he wanted to say. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
The tip of Zhou Qi's ear twitched slightly.
He looked at the boy, who was so embarrassed that his neck turned red, and he was still shouting something softly in that nice voice.
Although he had forgotten everything, he knew that the boy was calling him.
So cute...
So cute!
He reached out and grabbed Tang Yu'an's wrist, gently pulling his hand away, revealing the boy's beautiful round eyes again.
The boy's eyes, which were always clear and pure, now finally had a hint of mist and confusion.
Zhou Qi slowly bent down.
His dark blue eyes gradually became deep and dark. Tang Yu'an looked at him and felt that Zhou Qi seemed to have regained consciousness at this moment.
Although his hair and eye color had changed significantly from usual, he saw the familiar Zhou Qi on this face...
He felt Zhou Qi's forehead against his, with a slight coolness that absorbed the excessive heat from his face, but failed to calm his mind.
Their noses finally touched, their breaths mingling...
Tang Yu'an became more and more nervous.
Is Xiaoqi going to kiss him? Like in the dream?
So what should he do?
Should I push him away? But... what would it feel like to kiss him?
Curiosity surged in his heart, making him stay still, looking forward to experiencing the feeling described in literary works.
He waited.
However, Zhou Qi's lips did not fall for a long time, which made him feel itchy, as if someone was scratching him with a feather.
Just when Tang Yu'an couldn't help but want to raise her chin and take the initiative to kiss Zhou Qi's lips——
Zhou Qi raised his head and looked outside the cave. The ambiguous and charming atmosphere dissipated and his expression became fierce.
The water curtain shot up into the sky, blocking several mutated metal daggers that were shooting towards it in mid-air.
“Crash—”
When the water curtain fell, Zhou Qi had already picked up Tang Yu'an and protected him behind him.
The mutated metal dagger was washed into the sea by the water curtain. After falling into the sea, it flew back into the air.
Tang Yu'an was confused by the sudden battle, but the muscle reaction left by long-term training allowed him to quickly take out the shadow umbrella and open the map to take a look.
Then, his hands stopped moving.
"Black Pearl?"
Tang Yu'an quickly stuck his head out from behind Zhou Qi and saw the big black cat standing on a metal plate and floating on the sea.
Its pair of golden vertical pupils stared at Zhou Qi, its eyes full of hostility and vigilance.
Then, a young figure jumped up from outside the cave again.
"Woof woof!"
It turned out to be the ingot of the young ecosystem.
It also called out to Zhou Qi. If the cliff cave wasn't too small, it would probably change back to its original form and fight Zhou Qi.
"Ingot! Black Pearl!"
Tang Yu'an quickly ran out from behind Zhou Qi and explained to the two pets who had come to find him with great effort.
When he flew out of the cave, he saw Wangcai and Yinbi also on the cliff, anxiously looking for a way down.
He held Yuanbao in one hand and picked up Black Pearl, which had turned back into a kitten, in the other, and quickly flew to the cliff to comfort them.
"You've been running all night. Thank you for your hard work."
Tang Yu'an quickly took out some milk to reward them, then pointed at the mermaid youth who was swimming anxiously in the sea and said, "That's Brother Xiaoqi. He won't hurt me."
Obviously, the pets did not recognize Zhou Qi, perhaps because his aura had changed.
The misunderstanding was finally resolved and Tang Yu'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked down at the cliff.
The young mermaid had stopped swimming. When he looked down, he saw him staring at the top of the cliff with cold and sharp eyes, wondering what he was planning.
But when he saw the boy looking at him, he became innocent again and looked at him pitifully.
The expression changed so quickly that Tang Yu'an almost thought he was dazzled.
He actually didn't know how to face Zhou Qi now. Thinking about how he almost kissed Zhou Qi's lips just now, he couldn't help blushing.
Xiaoqi is confused now, but he doesn't...
How could he take Xiaoqi's first kiss just out of curiosity? Just thinking about it made his face flush.
Tang Yu'an looked away and saw Black Pearl looking up at him with some worry.
After a while, Yuanbao also looked over.
Next is Wangcai.
Finally, there are silver coins whose purpose is unknown but follow the crowd.
“…”
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but cover his face. After squatting on the ground to escape reality for a while, he cheered up and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"You've been running all night, are you tired?"
He cast a healing spell on the four pets, then put them in the pet compartment to rest. Then he took a deep breath and flew down the cliff again.
Seeing that he was finally willing to come down, Zhou Qi stretched out his arms eagerly, jumped out of the water and hugged him, and the two fell into the sea together.
The sapphire necklace on Zhou Qi's neck automatically generated a protective shield, and Tang Yu'an did not feel uncomfortable.
However, they did not surface.
Zhou Qi held him in his arms and swam towards the deep sea, swinging his tail.
Tang Yu'an discovered his intention and quickly struggled.
In the end, Zhou Qi couldn't get rid of him, so he had to carry the boy back to the sea.
Tang Yu'an flew to the cliff cave where he had stayed before, and put the sleeping bag, the iron basin containing the fire stone, and the purple-red carpet into his personal storage.
When he turned around, he saw the mermaid youth lying in the cave, staring at him eagerly, his dark blue eyes full of helplessness as if he had done something wrong.
It's so rare to see a little brother like this...
After he did this, Tang Yu'an temporarily forgot that they almost kissed each other.
"I just came back to get something." He explained, then looked out to sea and asked, "Do you want to take me to play in the sea?"
Stimulated by the battle just now, Zhou Qi regained some consciousness and could barely understand Tang Yu'an's words.
In fact, he just wanted to take Tang Yu'an to the bottom of the sea and hide him so that those furry four-legged beasts could not snatch him away.
But he wisely didn't express it.
He extended his hand to the boy again.
Tang Yu'an hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand in his palm and said, "Where do you want to take me? Let's go."
Faced with the boy's pure trust, Zhou Qi paused, then pulled him into the sea.
He held the young man in his arms and swam around in the sea, sometimes jumping out of the sea and sometimes rushing into the seabed, as if he was really playing with him.
Tang Yu'an also laughed heartily when they jumped high out of the sea.
Zhou Qi, who transformed into a mermaid, seemed to have become the overlord of the sea. Wherever they passed, those strange-looking marine creatures would flee frantically.
No mutant creature dared to approach them, let alone attack them.
They swam among schools of fish and passed over the glowing coral reefs on the seabed. The turbulent and terrifying deep sea lost all its power at this moment, leaving only its magnificent and splendor.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but take out his laptop to record this wonderful and dreamy moment.
Zhou Qi took him out of the sea again, let him ride on his back, and then took him to swim at a high speed across the sea, causing waves to soar into the sky.
The two laughed wildly and screamed together at the thrilling moment.
Tang Yu'an hadn't been so unbridledly happy for a long time. He forgot all his worries and immersed himself in the joy that Zhou Qi brought him.
Finally, both of them were tired of playing.
Zhou Qi lay on his back and floated on the sea, while Tang Yu'an lay lazily on his chest, occasionally turning over and lying in the sea with Zhou Qi, looking at the blue sky above.
“So fun!”
He said with a chuckle.
He would never have dreamed that he would be drifting on the sea with his little brother Xiaoqi, and that his little brother would turn into a mermaid more beautiful than a mermaid.
The waves surged, and they drifted with the current, not knowing where they were going.
However, Tang Yu'an felt extremely at peace. No matter where he went, as long as Zhou Qi was by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of.
However, after soaking in the water for a long time, Tang Yu'an's fingers became wrinkled.
He turned over again, lying on Zhou Qi's chest, and said to him: "Brother Xiaoqi, let's go to land. I will get sick if I stay in the water for too long."
As she spoke, she showed him her wrinkled palms.
Zhou Qi immediately frowned in pain. Although he didn't want to be disturbed by other people or things, he still nodded.
Tang Yu'an chuckled and said, "Let's fly a kite!"
Zhou Qi showed a puzzled look.
Tang Yu'an took out a rope, but when he was about to wrap it around Zhou Qi's waist, he changed his mind and replaced it with a softer cloth strip.
He wrapped the strips of cloth around Zhou Qi's waist, inevitably touching the fish scales on his waist and hips.
Zhou Qi's eyes gradually became dark and restrained.
Tang Yu'an didn't notice that after wrapping the cloth around him, he wrapped the cloth around himself and then cast the levitation spell on himself.
He just floated in the air, and because of the cloth tied around him, he looked like the kite Zhou Qi was flying.
"Brother Xiaoqi, do you still remember this?" Tang Yu'an asked with a smile.
Zhou Qi looked at him steadily and actually nodded.
Tang Yu'an was startled. Could it be that Brother Xiaoqi was recovering? Before he could ask in detail, Zhou Qi identified it and then led him to swim in a certain direction.
To be honest, Tang Yu'an has completely lost his way.
He only felt that there was water all around him, and the scenery was completely unchanged. On the map, he could only see a thin line, which was the trace of their swimming.
They were already far away from the coast and were surrounded by fog. They didn't know which direction was closer to the land.
However, Zhou Qi was very confident.
Tang Yu'an was carried by him and floated in the sky. Even after an hour, the shadow of land still did not appear.
"Stop swimming and let's take a boat!"
Tang Yu'an stopped Zhou Qi, then opened the mall page and bought a ship that could use intelligent driving.
Then he put on the white swan gloves and was about to pick up Zhou Qi when he saw a column of water rising from the sea, bringing them to a level with the ship.
Zhou Qi held him in his arms, swung his tail and jumped onto the deck.
Tang Yu'an quickly bought another bathtub, filled it with sea water and let Zhou Qi soak in it. Then he lifted the floating technique and pushed him into the cabin.
"I'm going to change my clothes first, don't move!"
When Tang Yu'an took a shower and changed his clothes, he found Zhou Qi lying in the bathtub, asleep with his eyes closed.
He probably didn't sleep well last night...
Tang Yu'an took a blanket and draped it over him, then tiptoed to the control console and began to figure out how to drive the boat.
Fortunately, the operation was similar to that of a smart truck. He first released the mechanical insects to obtain the terrain.
Soon the mechanical insect transmitted back images of its surroundings, and Tang Yu'an also saw a blurry black shadow in front of him.
It seemed to be an island in the sea, and the shape of a mountain could be seen in the distance.
