21. Kissing
Startled, Xie Shiyu started eating the dried fish faster.
His eyes were vacant, his mouth was constantly moving, and his brain was already racing with ideas.
Will she be taken away for biopsy and research?
Will it become a breeding tool for many upper-class people?
Will they be imprisoned and forced to keep having children?
The more he thought about it, the darker it became, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Mom, this place is too scary, I want to go home.
"What are you doing?" Xi Zhengyu's voice sounded from behind. His voice was still cold, but it gave Xie Shiyu a strange sense of security.
Yes, with this man around, none of this would have happened yet.
“I’m eating dried fish…” Xie Shiyu turned to look at him and said.
Xi Zhengyu looked at her, pursed his lips, and came downstairs in his cotton slippers.
He walked up to Xie Shiyu, looked down at her, and because he was tall, Xie Shiyu had to look up at him.
The two looked at each other, and after half a minute, Xi Zhengyu sighed helplessly and raised his hand to wipe away the tears hanging on her face.
"Why are you crying again?" He said, taking a few tissues from the coffee table and wiping her mouth, which was covered in dried fish crumbs, and there were some on the floor as well.
Xi Zhengyu moved very gently, as if he were polishing some rare treasure.
Xi Zhengyu, with his sharp eyes, noticed the blood on the fruit knife lying on the coffee table, and also noticed the congealed blood on Xie Shiyu's index finger.
"What were you doing with that fruit knife?" He looked at me and his tone became serious.
Xie Shiyu was startled by his tone, and her fingers curled up slightly.
He quickly explained with a smile, "I didn't do anything, I just got it by accident."
"Hmm?" Xi Zhengyu swept a sharp look over, and Xie Shiyu shrank back.
"I just used it to open a small dried fish..." she said, her voice muffled as she looked down, "and then I accidentally scratched it."
Hearing this, Xi Zhengyu was almost amused with anger.
What a silly fish.
Such a simple thing, yet you still managed to hurt your hand.
"Silly fish, I really didn't call you that wrong." Xi Zhengyu sighed, then sat down and picked up the spray to spray her wound.
After finishing, he tidied up the first-aid kit and put it back in its place, then took the person's hand and went upstairs to the second floor.
"Go take a shower." Xi Zhengyu handed her a white nightgown and then pushed her into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Xie Shiyu stood there, holding her pajamas, somewhat dazed.
Hmm... does this mean we're going to sleep together?
Although I was a little nervous, I still finished showering and came out.
Her wet hair dripped water all over the floor, and Xie Shiyu stood at the bathroom door, too afraid to go inside.
She was afraid she would wet the floor.
"What are you doing standing there?" Xi Zhengyu, who was sitting in a chair reading a book, saw her standing at the bathroom door drying her hair with a towel, without going inside.
"My hair is too wet," Xie Shiyu replied, pointing to her hair.
Indeed, water was still dripping from the ends of his hair onto the ground.
"Come here, I'll blow-dry it for you." Xi Zhengyu turned off his smart terminal and got up to find a hairdryer.
Finally, Xie Shiyu sat in the chair and let Xi Zhengyu's fingertips run through her silver hair.
Xie Shiyu's silver hair is long and beautiful, and it feels especially nice to touch.
She squinted her eyes and enjoyed Xi Zhengyu drying her hair; the hairdryer was silent.
So only the two of them could be heard breathing in the room. Xi Zhengyu smelled the faint scent of lavender and looked at the exposed section of snow-white skin.
Xi Zhengyu's Adam's apple bobbed, and his gaze became unfathomable.
"Xi Zhengyu, can I go to the shop tomorrow?" Xie Shiyu asked.
"What are you going to the shop for?" Xi Zhengyu's voice had become hoarse, but Xie Shiyu couldn't tell.
She still happily said, "I want to open a shop."
"I want to open a shell shop!" Xie Shiyu said, turning to look at him with a smile in her eyes.
The two locked eyes, and Xie Shiyu seemed to sense something, becoming even more nervous.
But on the surface, she still pretended to be innocent and naive: "There are many, many beautiful seashells in the sea area where I live, and I want more people to see them."
There were indeed many beautiful seashells in the sea area where the original owner lived. When the original owner was young, she often picked up those seashells and put them in her place as decorations.
"Okay." Xi Zhengyu responded, stopping what he was doing. He gently stroked her hair, his voice husky yet charming, "You can sell whatever you want."
"Xi Zhengyu, you're so good!" Xie Shiyu was overjoyed. She reached out and hugged his neck, leaning over to gently kiss him on the cheek.
After the kiss, she jumped up from the chair and ran barefoot to the bed.
"I'm going to sleep." After saying that, she threw off the gray blanket and lay down.
Xi Zhengyu stood there stunned, raising his hand to gently touch the spot where he had just been kissed.
It was a fleeting kiss, but Xi Zhengyu felt as if she had kissed him for a long time.
The warm touch, the soft lips, and the faint, fresh scent of the sea that was unique to her wafted into my nose.
Xi Zhengyu thought to himself, "My little mermaid is really good at flirting."
He had his back to the bed, feeling extremely thirsty. "I'm going to take a shower, you go to sleep first," he said, his voice hoarse.
With her head covered, Xie Shiyu felt her cheeks burning, as if the whole fish was steaming.
Xie Shiyu peeked out from under the covers after hearing the door close.
She breathed a sigh of relief. That light kiss was just a test. Fortunately, this man wasn't a beast and could control himself.
Judging from his reaction, it will probably take him a long time to wash.
Xie Shiyu ignored her, turned over and lay down on the soft silk quilt, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
I have to go to the store tomorrow; I'll be busy.
After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door clicked open. A person wearing a loose bathrobe stepped out, his gaze landing on the bed. His silver hair stood out against the gray blankets, making him easily noticeable to Xi Zhengyu.
The little mermaid was already asleep. Xi Zhengyu dried his hair, staring intently at Xie Shiyu, and finally muttered to himself, "What a seductive vixen."
After tidying everything up, Xi Zhengyu lay down on the bed.
He felt a little stiff after lying down; this was the first time he had shared a bed with a woman.
While Xi Zhengyu was still mentally preparing himself, he suddenly felt a weight on his body and tilted his head to look.
Xie Shiyu had the whole fish hanging on him.
The faint, fresh scent of the sea would occasionally drift into my nostrils.
Xie Shiyu hugged the person and rubbed her cheek against the other person's arm.
"Really." Xi Zhengyu said, reaching out to pull the person into his arms, then called out, "Turn off the lights."
The lights in the room went out all at once, and the two of them slept in each other's arms that night.
