When the morning sun shone through the skylight onto the surface of the swimming pool, Su Su jumped out of the water with a somersault.
He calculated the date and found that it had been exactly one month since he last took the medicine, which was a good day for him to take the medicine again.
Su Su was full of confidence and believed that he would succeed and become a human being this time.
In light of his previous experience, he put the capsule into his mouth and thought devoutly for a while: "I want to become a human! I want to become a human! I want to become a human!"
"It's time for dinner!" The robot Xiaoyou came in from outside pushing a live fish. After Qi Hanyi came back and told him to continue feeding Su Su, Xiaoyou seemed to have added a new identity to Su Su - Qi Hanyi's pet shark.
So he fed the other party live fish at a fixed time and quantity every day, just like feeding pets.
"Gurgle." Hearing that the meal was about to start, Su Su swallowed reflexively, and the capsule slid down his esophagus.
The outer coating of the capsule was melted by gastric juice, and the drug took effect. Su Su, who was halfway through his meal, tilted his head and fell asleep.
Silent changes quietly took place in the pool. The silver-white shark in the pool disappeared, and was replaced by a mermaid as seductive as a siren.
But the changes did not stop. The mermaid's tail scales gradually faded away, turning into white, straight, slender legs.
Qi Hanyi did not change his schedule during the holidays. He got up at 6 a.m., finished his morning exercise at 7 a.m. and had breakfast. He started remote work at 8 a.m. to handle some matters of the expeditionary force. He had lunch at 12 p.m. and took a two-hour lunch break. If he had work in the afternoon, he would continue to handle it. If he did not have work, he would enter the full-system simulation training system and complete a complete set of training from starship driving, mecha operation to actual combat simulation.
In the evening, Qi Hanyi had just finished training, took a shower, and wiped his dripping hair with a bath towel when he received a call from the master of the house.
Qi Xingli came straight to the point and ordered, "The day after tomorrow, at the Mo family's birthday banquet, bring your mermaid companion to show up."
Qi Hanyi didn't know about Su Su's changes at this time, so he just said according to the previous plan: "He hasn't differentiated yet, so it's not convenient for him to go out."
"Hasn't differentiated yet? What's going on?" Qi Xingli said unhappily, "I heard before that this mermaid princess has reached the differentiation stage. How come she hasn't differentiated after being with you for so many days? Could she have differentiated already, or been replaced by some other mermaid?"
Qi Xingli's feeling was not without basis. Qi Hanyi did not understand, but he did. Generally speaking, the marriage wine that mermaids drink before setting out would contain drugs that accelerate differentiation, so when mermaids see the marriage partner, they will immediately start to differentiate.
But now the mermaids have not split up, and Qi Xingli already knows about the accident that happened on the day of the mermaids' wedding, so he will naturally consider the possibility that someone has tampered with Qi Hanyi's wedding this time.
"I have verified his identity, there is no problem." Qi Hanyi lied without changing his expression.
"Then I hope to see you and her at the banquet the day after tomorrow. If not, I will have to pay a personal visit to your fiancée."
Qi Xingli hung up the phone after saying this.
His last sentence already carried a warning tone. If there was no problem with the identity, then differentiation should not have happened soon, unless there were problems in other areas.
He knew his grandson's behavior better than anyone else. He also had some guesses about what Qi Hanyi might do. But he would not give him any chance.
If he didn't see the mermaid at the party that day, he would have to visit in person to confirm the existence of this granddaughter-in-law.
Qi Hanyi put away the communicator, and a wrinkle formed between his brows.
It turns out that it's not that easy to get past grandpa.
It would not be a bad idea to find someone to attend the banquet, but it would be risky to find a human who is pretty enough to play the role of a mermaid and attend the banquet as one's partner. With such a tight time schedule, it is very likely that Grandpa would discover traces during the transaction, or there is a high risk of being exposed afterwards... Qi Hanyi walked quickly towards the first floor and decided to ask Su Su if there was any way to transform into a human appearance the day after tomorrow.
As long as I show up at this banquet with the differentiated "mermaid", my grandfather will probably relax a little for a while, and I will have more time to carry out my plans.
Qi Hanyi went downstairs and happened to meet Uncle Li who came to look for him: "Young Master, are you going to the mermaid? It just so happens that Xiaoyou said that the mermaid has been sleeping and didn't even eat lunch. Please go and take a look. Maybe she is sick."
"Didn't you have lunch?" Qi Hanyi paused and looked at Uncle Li: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Uncle Li said honestly, "I just missed a meal. It's not a big deal. I was afraid to disturb you."
Indeed, normally it is not a big deal, but Qi Hanyi is busy with work and often misses meals, or even only eats one meal a day.
But Qi Hanyi knew that Su Su was raised as a shark, and the hunting instinct was almost natural. He also said that he often went hungry in the sea, so it was very abnormal for him not to eat.
Qi Hanyi suddenly recalled something he had heard from his mother's doctor many years ago: "After leaving the ocean, some mermaids will suffer from serious mental illnesses, including insomnia, anorexia, depression, anxiety, and other emotions. These symptoms are collectively known as sea syndrome."
His eyes darkened: "If there are any problems in the future, report to me immediately."
"Yeah." Uncle Li responded quickly.
Looking at Qi Hanyi's serious expression, the old housekeeper also felt a little worried, and followed Qi Hanyi step by step towards the room with the swimming pool.
Qi Hanyi pushed open the door to the swimming pool hall.
Uncle Li knew the rules and stopped outside the door: "I'll wait here, just tell me if you need anything."
The answer he got was the sound of a door closing heavily.
Su Su felt hungry as soon as he woke up. His desire to eat was stronger than ever before.
There happened to be a few live fish in the pond that he had just killed. Su Su tried to catch them without thinking. He swung the fish's tail out of habit, only to find that it was gone.
Su Su gulped again, and then he realized that not only was his fish tail gone, but his gills were gone too. He subconsciously touched his face, and he actually turned into a human!
He didn't even bother to check what he had become. The overwhelming hunger overwhelmed his reason again. He grabbed a dead fish, climbed onto the shore without caring about his image, and started to eat the fish in big mouthfuls.
Fortunately, his teeth and intestines were still strong enough for a shark, so he was not choked by the hard scales and spines of the raw fish.
After eating three fishes in a row, Su Su's hunger was finally alleviated a little. At this moment, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
Is it Xiaoyou who came to bring food?
Su Su turned his head, but found that the person coming was not Xiao You, but his marriage partner, that super cute human.
What's it called?
My hungry brain can only remember the names of the dishes.
So Su Su opened his mouth and asked, "Husband?"
Qi Hanyi stood there in a daze.
He wanted to ask Su Su if there was any way to transform into a human in a short period of time.
As a result, when he pushed the door open, he saw a young man sitting with his back to him.
He sat beside the pool, with one of his long legs bent and one leg hanging naturally, half submerged in the pool. He clearly looked like a human.
The boy has a beautiful body outline. Although he is thin, he has a thin layer of muscle texture on his body and his bones are long and even.
His hair was silver-blue, flowing down to cover his buttocks. His skin was startlingly white.
They were obviously of the same sex, and they were in the army, and Qi Hanyi had lived in a dormitory, but the moment Qi Hanyi saw them, he had the thought that he should not look at them inappropriately.
Qi Hanyi slammed the door shut, his hurried movements revealing a sense of panic.
And when Su Su turned around, Qi Hanyi felt that his steady heartbeat suddenly missed a beat at some point, and then, as if trying to catch up with the rhythm, it began beating rapidly again.
But his expression was very cold, not changing at all from usual. It was as if he was still that precision-operated machine, but there was just a small malfunction in his heart, which had nothing to do with him.
The boy was very handsome, almost devilishly so, with a scaly adorned patch at the end of his upturned eyes and blood stains at the corners of his mouth from fish he had just eaten.
He looked at Qi Hanyi so ignorantly and innocently, and the word "husband" came out of his mouth as a matter of course, as if it was just a careless and random shout, but it aroused desire in an alluring way, like a demon that led people to fall.
Qi Hanyi felt his throat dry and tight, and he looked away as if he was blinded by the light. He ripped open a few buttons on his training jacket, took it off and threw it on Su Su: "Put it on."
"Oh." Su Su grabbed the clothes and studied them for a few seconds. He remembered that the arms had to be put into the sleeves.
When Qi Hanyi turned around again, he found that Su Su had put his clothes on backwards, not inside out, but upside down, with the collar at his waist.
Su Su also knew that he was wearing the wrong clothes, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He saw that this was how humans wore it, with one arm tucked into each cuff, so why did the clothes look wrong for him?
Qi Hanyi sighed resignedly.
"Stand up here."
"Stand?" Su Su moved his two long legs, but the two legs were doing their own thing and did not coordinate with each other, resulting in him failing to escape gravity for a long time.
Seeing that he was about to slip and fall into the water, Qi Hanyi grabbed him.
Su Su fell into Qi Hanyi's arms out of inertia, and could feel Qi Hanyi's body temperature through the thin clothes.
Qi Hanyi had a clean and refreshing smell, like the sky after the clouds had cleared and the rain had stopped.
Su Su sniffed subconsciously, feeling an indescribable excitement surge in his heart.
He is sticking with cute humans!!!
Su Su couldn't help but rub his face against Qi Hanyi's chest a few times.
Well, it's moderately soft and hard, and very elastic.
He was immersed in the fascinating happiness when he suddenly heard a suppressed low shout: "Don't move!"
At the same time, press your shoulders with both hands and push yourself away for a distance.
"Hmm?" Su Su blinked innocently. Seeing the storm gradually gathering in Qi Hanyi's eyes, he wondered: Don't humans like to be intimate?
