Then Lugari's heart softened even more.
He was glad he had applied for her.
If he had not done so at that time, perhaps now, there would never be such a mermaid in the entire empire.
Lugari squatted down and took her hand.
This time he didn't ask. When he held her hand, her hand curled up. Lugari gently separated her hands and pinched the soft flesh in her palm, trying to make her adapt to his presence in this way.
After a while, she was no longer nervous.
Lugari then said, "I have a day tomorrow. You said before that you haven't seen the outside world. Do you want to go see it tomorrow?"
Her eyes immediately lit up with joy.
In the blink of an eye, the excitement disappeared again.
She shook her head.
Lugari raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Not going?"
There was hesitation on her face, and a hint of desire in her hesitation. She wanted to go, and Lugari could see it.
Lugari held her other hand. She looked down at Lugari. Lugari slowly approached her. The masculine scent on his body quickly enveloped her. She wanted to lean back a little, but Lugari didn't let her move.
Lugari wanted to know the answer.
He asked, “Why don’t you want to go?”
She bit her lip and still didn't say anything, but her eyes were a little red.
Lugari immediately softened his heart. Maybe it was because mermaids lived in water, but she seemed to be made of water. Lugari didn't dare to touch her hard or make her cry.
The admiral, who always scolded his subordinates, used a strange tone to gently but patiently coax her: "Why don't you want to go? Hmm? Junli, tell me."
He knew her name.
From the moment he applied for her, her name was placed on his information disk along with his own.
Every time he opened the message tray to check the messages, he could see her name.
Perhaps it was because his tone was too gentle, or perhaps it was because it was the first time he called her name, Jun Li finally spoke.
"It's embarrassing to go out with a mermaid."
Lugari could never have imagined that the answer would be like this.
He himself had never had such an idea, even though he knew that the status of mermaids was indeed not high.
But he felt that she was a very good mermaid, and she didn't seem to be a person with low self-esteem. Although she was shy, she dared to look into his eyes when talking to him, which did not show her low self-esteem.
Then why would she say such self-deprecating words?
Jun Li wanted to pinch her fingers anxiously, forgetting that her hand was already held by Lugari, so when she pinched, she was naturally pinching Lugari's hand. Lugari felt her little movement, but did not remind her, letting her continue pinching, and heard her say:
"Colonel Anid never takes me out. He says it's embarrassing."
Lugari was stunned, his eyes meeting Junli's.
Her eyes were pure and she wasn't lying.
That means Anid really said this.
Such words are very hurtful to a mermaid.
The mermaids' status determines their cowardice, and the words of humans are a sharp weapon to hurt them.
Lugari suddenly had a lot of questions to ask her.
He comforted her, "No, I won't feel ashamed. On the contrary, I think you are amazing. Mermaids also have their advantages. You have a beautiful voice, and everyone will definitely like it. Your eyes are like lake water, so gentle that I..."
