Shui Yiyao looked up at him.
Although she knew that she had some ill intentions when she dressed like this and painted the totem in the same place as him, she did not expect that Ao Li could endure it like this.
Ao Li really only kissed her forehead. Moreover, although he looked fierce, his force was actually very light.
Thinking of this, Shui Yiyao's ears turned red and became redder and redder.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed Ao Li lightly on the lips, but they separated immediately.
Shui Yiyao looked at Ao Li's eyes, which had reddened even more. She pursed her lips, waited for a moment, and blushed again as she asked softly, "Let me take care of the mermaid matters, then we can get the marriage certificate, shall we?"
"good."
Ao Li didn't hesitate for a second, as if he was afraid Shui Yiyao would regret it. After she finished speaking, he couldn't wait to respond with a "yes." After agreeing, he felt that his answer was not serious enough and continued, "I would love to."
Shui Yiyao looked at him with a smile between her brows.
"You - why did the scales appear?" Shui Yiyao saw two or three black scales appear behind Ao Li's ears, which were not there before. She reached out to touch them.
"..." Ao Li held her hand again: "Don't make trouble."
He was happy and wanted to show his true colors, so he couldn't hold it back anymore. If she touched him again, he would be even more unable to hold it back.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to suppress his emotions. After a few seconds, the two or three black scales flickered twice and then gradually disappeared.
Shui Yiyao: "Come to think of it, you haven't told me yet, how is my totem copying going?"
Ao Li looked at her with a complicated expression and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't seduce me."
"Fiancé, your scales are coming out again." Shui Yiyao looked at him and warned him in a low voice. He had several more black scales from his ears to his neck, even more than before, all the way to his jawline.
Ao Li said nothing and pressed the scale down again.
After repeating this twice, Ao Li let go of Shui Yiyao, turned away without looking at her, and said, "I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."
The way Ao Li left could be described as fleeing in panic.
Shui Yiyao stood by the pool, watching Ao Li's back as he walked out of the laboratory, then looked down at the totem on her collarbone and smiled again.
When I have time in the future, I will carefully carve this totem out of black jade and make it into a pendant to wear.
After that, Ao Li ran away without saying a word.
Shui Yiyao touched her face and found it was also incredibly hot. She stepped back into the pool and sank to the bottom to cool down.
Get a certificate... According to her plan, this is also the final stage of the experiment. As long as the medicine is out, the biggest threat to the mermaids' survival will be solved. After that, they want to get rich. Since the mermaids are few in number, everything will be easy.
As long as the mermaids are well, she will have fulfilled her promise to the mermaid princess.
Then there's finger knife carving, which is the most important thing. She can't carve properly these days, nor can she live stream, but she can record her finger knife skills with a video, and then give it to Xiao Jiang Luo to teach online...
Shui Yiyao closed her eyes in the pool and thought about many things. After a while, the heat in her body subsided.
[Time reminder - It's almost 8:00 PM, Yuyu, take your medicine.]
After being reminded several times, Shui Yiyao finally emerged from the pool and looked at the electronic display on the wall that made the sound. It said that it was time to take her medicine.
This must have been set up by Ao Li.
She looked at the clock. It was seven forty-five, and there were still fifteen minutes until it was time to take the medicine.
Has it been two hours? She's been sitting in the pool, daydreaming, doing nothing.
Just as she was about to leave the pool, she heard the door of the laboratory ring and heard Ao Li's voice on the electronic screen: "I'm back."
After the laboratory door rang three times, it slowly opened and Ao Li was outside.
"Are you back?" Shui Yiyao stopped and looked at him.
He also held a box in his hand, a big golden gift box.
Ao Li paused outside the door before walking in: "It's almost eight o'clock, time to take medicine."
Shui Yiyao: "I heard it. I was just about to go find some medicine."
She supported herself on the pool wall with both hands and jumped out.
Ao Li quickened his pace and walked over with two big strides. After walking over, he placed the big golden gift box on the cabinet next to the sink.
Shui Yiyao saw him coming over and looked at the golden gift box on the cabinet next to her: "What is this?"
Ao Lizhi first took out a pair of cotton slippers from the drawer under the clothes rack and put them on Shui Yiyao: "Put on your shoes first, don't fall."
"Thank you." Shui Yiyao had just put her feet into the soft slippers when she looked up and saw Ao Li took out a bath towel from the drawer above the clothes rack and handed it to Shui Yiyao: "Wipe the water."
Shui Yiyao took the towel and wiped the water off her body, but said, "Why bother? I have to go back to the pool after I finish taking the medicine."
Ao Li: "We need to observe on the shore for ten minutes."
"Only ten minutes."
Ao Li took out a dry towel from the side, gathered Shui Yiyao's hair, wrapped it with the dry towel and wiped it gently to help her dry her hair.
"It'll be cold."
"All right."
Shui Yiyao stood there, quietly wiping the water off her body.
As she wiped the water off her face, she turned her head to look at Ao Li, who was helping her dry her hair. Huh? He had changed into another set of clothes. Did she get his clothes wet just now?
He was now calm and composed, showing no trace of his earlier panic and confusion. Apart from a change of clothes, there was really no other clue.
Shui Yiyao looked at the gift box: "What is that?"
Ao Li: "It's a skirt. It was sent from the bottom of the sea. It will be more comfortable to wear in the water."
"For me?"
"certainly."
Shui Yiyao's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Thank you, Ao Yuan."
She wiped the water off her body and pushed Ao Li away when her hair was half dry: "Okay, I'll go try on some clothes."
She walked over to the cabinet and opened the gift box, revealing a golden dress. The color was very bright, dazzling like a gem, and the shimmering look gave it an underwater-inspired look.
Ao Li followed her and used a dry towel to help her gather up her still wet hair.
Shui Yiyao picked up the skirt from the gift box. The skirt was very light and as soft as water.
The dress was a very formal one, with long sleeves that covered her shoulders and wrists. A closer look revealed the sleeves were sewn on later. The hem was also long, reaching her ankles. But she remembered that underwater clothing was usually quite revealing, similar to a bikini. Nothing like this completely covered her.
Shui Yiyao looked at it and asked, "Is this the clothes from the seabed?"
Ao Li saw Shui Yiyao looking at him, cleared his throat and explained, "This one is beautiful." This one is safe. If she wore that kind of clothes again and exposed the divine totem, he wouldn't be able to help but look at it, and something bad would happen.
Shui Yiyao didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "It's quite beautiful." After all, it was the golden color that Ao Yuan liked.
Shui Yiyao took the skirt and went to the changing room outside.
After a while, she changed her clothes and came out.
Walking up to Ao Li, she asked, "How is it?"
Ao Li looked at her without saying anything for a while, then said after a while, "She looks beautiful." She was like a golden pearl on the bottom of the sea, dazzling and eye-catching.
Shui Yiyao smiled.
[Time reminder - 3 minutes left before medication time.]
The electronic clock on the wall chimed.
"Three more minutes." The two looked at the clock, and Shui Yiyao walked towards the treatment chair: "Let's get started."
She opened the medicine box on the table next to the treatment chair, looked at the label on the refill box, and took the second dose of medicine for the day.
Ao Li poured her a small cup of water from the water dispenser next to her and placed it next to her.
"This medicine is officially taking effect. You may experience alternating hot and cold sensations while taking it. Also, half an hour after taking it, you may experience severe pain in your spine. Be patient."
"I know. Didn't you tell me before I came? I remember it all."
Before she came, Ao Li had urged her several times to have another mermaid take her place. She had refused. After all, if it were another mermaid, she would have to start all over again, and she was already in the final stage. It was just a matter of enduring the pain, not a big deal.
Shui Yiyao looked at the glass of water that Ao Li poured for her. There was only a little bit at the bottom, less than one tenth.
She looked at the pills in her palm again. There were more than twenty pills. How could this be enough?
Ao Li handed her the water cup: "This is the maximum, you can't drink too much water."
Shui Yiyao didn't take the cup of water. She asked, "Is it best to just swallow these pills without drinking any water?"
"Yes." Ao Li nodded, and handed the cup of water to her again, saying, "But it's okay to drink this first this time."
"So after this, you can't drink anything when taking medicine?"
Ao Li looked at her and nodded.
Shui Yiyao looked at the medicine in her palm again. Most of them were white pills, but there were also capsules.
"Then I'll try it first."
She found two sugar-coated pills and swallowed them in one gulp without drinking any water.
After swallowing it, she smiled at Ao Li and said, "It's quite simple."
She took a few more white pills.
Ao Li warned: "It will be very hard."
Shui Yiyao paused, then dropped the pills into her mouth. The white pills dissolved quickly, dissolving in her mouth before she could swallow them. Her mouth was filled with bitterness—truly bitter. She frowned and quickly swallowed them, nearly choking.
Ao Li handed her the cup of water again: "Is it very bitter?"
Shui Yiyao hid her bitter expression, looked up at him, and smiled: "It's not that bitter."
She turned sideways, her back to Ao Li, held her breath, and quickly swallowed the remaining pills in her hand in several batches before turning back: "I'm done."
She unconsciously raised her hand to rub her chest, feeling a little choked.
Ao Li: "Don't be so anxious, take your time."
Shui Yiyao felt bitter in her mouth, but she endured it and said calmly, "It's okay, just some medicine."
As soon as she finished speaking, the effects of the medicine that Ao Li mentioned began to appear. First, a heat spread from her heart and quickly spread to her limbs. She took a deep breath and sat on the treatment chair.
This thing is really effective, more effective than turning on a hundred air conditioners in the room. It's already making people feel hot in just two or three seconds, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
After a while, a chill that spread from my limbs swept over my entire body, as if a bucket of ice water had suddenly been poured over me from head to toe.
Ao Li held her hand and slowly helped her lie down on the treatment chair. He touched her forehead and watched the data changes on the monitor.
"Don't be afraid." He clumsily tried to comfort her. "Yuyu, it will be fine in a few minutes, it will be fine in a few minutes. Don't worry."
As he spoke, he looked carefully at Shui Yiyao's expression, then at the changes in the data on the monitor, his brows furrowed tightly.
Ao Li saw her eyes tightly closed, sweat on her forehead increasing, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just shout it out."
Shui Yiyao pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
After several minutes, the feeling of alternating hot and cold gradually subsided.
Shui Yiyao's forehead was covered in sweat. She lay on the treatment chair and gasped for air. She took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and asked Ao Li, "Are you feeling better?"
Ao Li took out a tissue from the side and wiped the sweat off Shui Yiyao's face.
"Still need to observe for 10 minutes. If everything looks okay, go back into the water. You'll feel better."
Shui Yiyao didn't say anything, didn't open her eyes, just shook her head.
She didn't want to move at all now, nor did she want to go back into the water. She just wanted to lie here for a while and rest.
Ao Li stayed by her side, holding her hand.
At first, she clenched her hands into fists, but later she couldn't clench them anymore because her strength was very weak. Now when he touched her palms, they were covered in sweat.
Ao Li wiped her with a tissue.
After a while, Shui Yiyao felt Ao Li squeeze her hand and whispered beside her, "It's been 10 minutes. Do you want to lie down for a while longer? Or go back to the pool?"
"Hmm?" Shui Yiyao opened her eyes, looked at Ao Li, and gave him a smile: "So soon? It's okay, I want to rest for a while."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and lay still.
Ao Li held her hand for a long moment. He then looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Let's go back to the pool."
Shui Yiyao: "Hmm...Okay, I'll be back soon."
As soon as Shui Yiyao finished speaking, she felt something was wrong.
It felt as if a steel nail was suddenly driven into her spine, and she began to feel pain.
