It’s hard to tell whether it smells good or bad, but what is certain is that the person in front of me must have slept here before.
Thinking of this, Jiuqi's eyes darkened again.
"There's a bed in my lab, but there's no seawater nearby, so you can't go over there. Just sleep here and don't worry about me." After saying that, Chu Ci suddenly remembered something and added, "My lab is at the very edge of the first floor, between the two rooms without seawater. If you have anything to say, come find me. Just touch the barrier at the edge and I'll be able to sense it."
Jiuqi then nodded and responded.
He loosened his hands, took them back, and curled up into a ball on the shell bed and lay down.
Chu Ci nodded and spoke to him again, "Okay, go to sleep."
The words were spoken softly, with a hint of doting, which made Jiuqi's eyes look a little dazed. Before he could react to what this feeling was, Chu Ci had already reached out her hand, touched his hair soothingly, and then closed the top of the shell bed.
The surroundings became dark again, with only the pearl next to it emitting a faint glow.
'Jiuxi Love Value +2, currently 6.'
After calming the little mermaid down, Chu Ci stood up and walked towards his laboratory on the first floor.
He looked at the books stored here by the original owner for a while, studied the new potion for a while, and then walked to the lounge next to him and lay down to rest.
As the night deepened, the light outside became dimmer and dimmer, and the surroundings were completely quiet. Chu Ci huddled in a small corner of the bed with her eyes closed.
Suddenly the water flow rumbled, Chu Ci opened her eyes, blinked slightly, and subconsciously turned her head to look to the side. Her pair of emerald green eyes glowed with a beautiful and mysterious color in the dim light.
The barrier of the laboratory was triggered.
And now in this area, or the only person who dares to touch the barrier she set up, is the little mermaid who should be sleeping soundly in the shell bed.
Chu Ci stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw him floating at the doorway, with aqua-blue hair floating behind him and a pair of deep blue eyes filled with fear and terror. He was clinging tightly to the barrier she had set up, as if he was being bullied by the barrier. The tears in the corners of his eyes were about to fall, and he looked extremely aggrieved and pitiful.
His tail was still twitching, as if in pain, and his face was a little pale. There was a faint smell of blood around him. Perhaps his movements were a bit too much, causing his wound to break open.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, his deep blue eyes looked straight at Chu Ci.
With a little timidity and fear.
Chu Ci stepped over the barrier and returned to the water. She must have just woken up, and her voice was still a little hoarse and lazy. She said, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
The little mermaid nodded, looking scared and aggrieved. When she saw Chu Ci coming out, she leaned back, pursed her lips tightly, and watched Chu Ci raise her hand towards her.
There was a hint of helplessness on his face.
Without even thinking, he rushed into her arms and hugged her neck.
My body was shaking a little.
Then he responded tremblingly and incoherently. This was indeed a nightmare.
He hugged her very tightly, and kept moving his body against her, as if he wanted to stick his entire mermaid body to her.
