Chapter 298 Mermaid 5
Jiang Chen returned to the second floor. The room was quiet. He pushed open the door and saw Ye Rou sitting on the bed with her back to him. Her long silver-white hair cascaded down, brighter than the moonlight in the night sky.
She raised her hand and seemed to be rubbing her eyes.
"You're back."
Ye Rou's original voice was just like her, sweet and soft. After she turned into a fish, her voice changed subtly, becoming even more beautiful.
Ye Rou turned her head, her fox eyes were a little sleepy and watery, but the red that was spreading in her eyes was particularly dazzling.
Jiang Chen frowned and walked forward, half-knelt in front of her, and carefully examined her eyes.
He was not mistaken, Ye Rou's eyes were indeed red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
He raised his hand, and just as he was about to touch the eyelashes that curled up like crow feathers, he suddenly stopped, "Do your eyes hurt?"
Ye Rou shook her head obediently, "It doesn't hurt."
"Why are your eyes so red?"
"Oh." Ye Rou said casually, "I think I rubbed it."
She raised her large silver tail and said matter-of-factly, "Change into a fish. I want to see if my tears can turn into pearls."
Unfortunately, I couldn't cry. I rubbed my eyes and thought about sad things, but it was no use.
“…”
Jiang Chen sighed, then got up and went to the bathroom helplessly.
The bathroom was a mess, as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind.
The bathtub broke in two and water was flowing everywhere.
I need to find someone to repair the bathroom again.
Ye Rou was bored and began to study her big tail. She pinched the shark silk on both sides of the fish tail. It was so thin that it seemed like pinching a cloud, and it felt smoother than silk.
With a warm towel wrapped around her eyes, Ye Rou was plunged into darkness.
She was not panicked at all and raised her head obediently to make it easier for Jiang Chen to move.
A hot towel was applied to the eyes, moistening every pore. Ye Rou closed her eyes comfortably, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
Jiang Chen took away the towel and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Ye Rou nodded.
Jiang Chen put the towel back into the bathroom. When he came back and saw Ye Rou winking at him, he immediately knew that she had not given up yet.
Although I don’t know how Ye Rou turned into a mermaid, it’s impossible for her to be so unfathomable as to replicate all the abilities of a mermaid.
He was afraid that speaking directly would upset Ye Rou, so he leaned over, held up Ye Rou's big silver-white tail with his strong arms, tucked her into the quilt, and coaxed her, "Wife, it's late, go to bed."
Ye Rou fluttered around on the bed, found a comfortable position, and covered herself with the quilt.
Jiang Chen stood by the bed and looked at his wife worriedly.
I don’t know whether his wife is considered a human or a fish now.
If you were a fish, could you sleep on a bed?
"Will it be uncomfortable?"
"No problem." Ye Rou lifted the quilt to her chest, put her hands down and closed her eyes.
The silver-white hair was scattered messily on the pillow, shining with an extremely lustrous silver light under the light, making Ye Rou's skin look like cream, without a single flaw. Her thick and curled eyelashes covered her eyes, making her look beautiful and well-behaved.
A corner of the quilt beside her was lifted, and a little coolness poured in. Ye Rou opened her eyes, turned her eyeballs slightly, and stared at the man who was about to climb onto the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Chen said as a matter of course: "Go to sleep."
Ye Rou snorted softly.
Jiang Chen's deception of her has not yet been resolved. As long as he doesn't admit his mistake, she will not forgive him.
Big Tail wrapped in the quilt fanned Jiang Chen.
"Go sleep downstairs."
"Wife." Jiang Chen was reluctant to leave.
He lowered his voice and acted pitifully, trying to win Ye Rou's sympathy.
Ye Rou raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, indicating that she would not buy it and was determined to drive the man away.
Jiang Chen walked very slowly and dawdling, looking back every few steps, trying to make Ye Rou change her mind.
Unfortunately, he was too tall, too strong, and had a fierce look. No matter what he did, he couldn't act weak and sympathetic. He walked all the way to the door, and Ye Rou didn't try to stop him.
Jiang Chen put his hand on the door handle and looked back at Ye Rou. His eyebrows were deep, filled with condensed melancholy.
It feels awkward to see Lu Zhishen forcing himself to be Lin Daiyu.
Ye Rou was afraid of being exposed again, so she closed her eyes, pulled the quilt to cover the smile on her lips, and her voice was muffled by the quilt.
"Good night, Jiang Chen."
"good evening-"
Jiang Chen's voice was extremely reluctant. He pressed down the door handle, pushed the door open and stood outside.
Standing on the second floor and looking down, the first floor was pitch black, like a gaping abyss, just waiting to swallow Jiang Chen up if he walked down.
It's strange, just a door away, it's as if you suddenly walk from the real and warm world into a cold and lonely hell.
Jiang Chen abandoned the more comfortable sofa and moved a camp bed to sleep outside the bedroom door.
——
Ye Rou's breathing was heavy and difficult, and her whole body felt as if it was on fire. The pain was even worse than the fever she had that day.
She was like a fish out of water, emitting an extreme itchy feeling of thirst from within her body.
In her drowsy state, she dreamed of an endless expanse of clear sea water, longing to dive into it and swim freely.
Water, give me water.
In extreme discomfort, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, but did not flow into her temples. Instead, they turned into pearls and fell along her hair onto the bed.
Just when Ye Rou felt that she was about to be burned to death, a cool feeling rushed into her throat and quenched her dry cough and burning internal organs.
Soon, the coolness spread to her legs, and her tail, which was so dry that it was about to burst, was moistened by the water. Ye Rou relaxed her brows, and her tail, which was curled up in pain, stretched out.
She wanted to shake off her sleepiness and see what was going on, but after struggling for a long time, she fell even deeper into sleep.
The sky outside suddenly brightened. Ye Rou was startled by the light and opened her eyes.
She was sleepy and her consciousness was still a little hazy. Her gaze moved slowly and finally fell on the tall figure sitting against the head of the bed with his eyes closed.
He was wearing the same clothes as last night, one of his long legs was draped over the edge of the bed, and his large hand was resting on the side, holding a towel.
His long eyebrows slanted down to his temples, his profile was deep, his brow bones were high, and there was a dark circle under his eyes. It seemed that he slept uneasily, with his brows furrowed even in his sleep.
Seeing that he was not sleeping comfortably, Ye Rou wanted to make room for him to lie down.
As soon as she moved, her arm was hit by something and she hissed in pain.
Ye Rou lowered her head and saw the round pearls rolling down on both sides, large and small in number.
It turns out that mermaids’ tears really can turn into pearls.
Ye Rou didn't have time to sigh.
Because Jiang Chen suddenly took action.
Jiang Chen didn't even open his eyes. He struggled to sit up and bent down, holding the towel in his hand.
There was a sound of water coming from under the invisible bed, where there must be a basin of water.
After filling the towel with water and wringing it out slightly, Jiang Chen skillfully picked up Ye Rou's big tail and carefully wiped her with the towel.
He wiped it from top to bottom very carefully. Even though he was so sleepy that he didn't even open his eyes, his movements were already very skillful.
The areas wiped with the wet towel became comfortable and the dry itching was relieved a lot.
Only then did Ye Rou understand.
She felt uncomfortable last night because she was dehydrated.
Jiang Chen must have been woken up by her and found that she was uncomfortable, so he stayed by her bedside all night, wiping her tail with a wet towel from time to time to relieve her discomfort caused by lack of water.
Ye Rou looked at the time. The mermaid experience card was not for one day but for twelve hours. It started at eight o'clock last night and would end in half an hour.
She swept the pearls away, wanting Jiang Chen to lie down and have a good sleep.
Thin white fingers carefully pried open Jiang Chen's hands, trying to pull the towel out of his hand.
As soon as he moved, Jiang Chen woke up in shock.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling bad again?"
Seeing him rushing to get some water, Ye Rou quickly held him down and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, leaning his shoulders back against the headboard. He subconsciously ruffled Ye Rou's hair with his large hands and said in a weary and careless voice, "It's not uncomfortable. Sleep a little longer."
Ye Rou had slept enough, so she took Jiang Chen's hand and pulled him onto the bed.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes in surprise.
Ye Roucai didn't forgive him, she was just a little soft-hearted.
She hummed, "You're allowed to sleep in the bed for a while."
Jiang Chen chuckled softly and reached out to hold the person in his arms.
"You sleep with me."
Ye Rou was about to scold him for being too demanding, but her heavy breathing hit her collarbone and Jiang Chen had already fallen asleep.
From this angle, the dark circles under his eyes are particularly obvious.
Ye Rou didn't wake him up after all. She found a comfortable position in his arms and lay there quietly without moving.
There is habitual familiarity and dependence between the actions.
