Chu Ci didn't say anything. She raised her hand and stroked his back, then checked his wound. After finding that there was nothing serious, she ignored him and let him vent the emotions accumulated in his heart.
It took a long time for him to calm down slightly, his tail twitching. Chu Ci looked at him and reached out to touch it. Seeing him shrink back a little embarrassedly, she said in a voice with a hint of tears, "I dreamed that my tribe came to drive me out of the place where I live and hand me over to humans."
For a mermaid of his size, who has little ability to resist, if he falls into the hands of humans, there are only two possible outcomes: the first is to be used as a machine for producing pearls, and the second is to become a plaything in the hands of human nobles.
There is no good ending after all.
No wonder he was so scared.
"You have been expelled." Chu Ci said lightly, stroking his hair.
Then she clearly felt his body stiffen. Seeing him raise his eyes, his deep blue eyes were filled with fear and uncertainty, his fingers tightly grasping her black gauze nightgown. Chu Ci finished her words, "Since you have decided to live with me, you are naturally different from those mermaids."
'Jiuxi Love Value +1, currently 7.'
The touch of this person was soft, and although his voice was a little cold, the ending tone was gentle and had a hint of doting. He liked this feeling very much.
Comparatively speaking, life here is much better than life in the tribe. Other things will have to wait until he recovers from his injuries.
Jiuxi finally relaxed, hugging Chuci like this, and paused for a long time before speaking, "I'm afraid..."
Chu Ci was already taking him upstairs. When she heard him say this, she turned her head and looked at him.
Seeing the girl in front of him wearing a black gauze nightgown, with a faint emerald light in her eyes, clear and bright, her face delicate, and her skin extremely white, he thought for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Great Witch, can you... watch me sleep?"
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he lowered his eyes, looking at his wrist. Chu Ci was holding his wrist and leading him forward.
"Well, don't be afraid." Chu Ci nodded, responded, took him upstairs, and let him lie down on the shell bed again.
This time, she did not close the top of the shell bed. She looked at the little aqua-blue mermaid lying on the side of the shell bed, looking at her eagerly, as if she was afraid that she would leave.
"Wait a moment." Chu Ci looked at the scar on his tail that was bleeding again because of his carelessness, stood up and spoke, then walked out the door.
Jiuxi was a little drowsy because of the wounds on his body and the dream he had just had, so he didn't hear clearly what Chu Ci said. He just saw her make a comforting gesture and walk out as if she remembered something. His eyes darkened, and his body moved forward subconsciously, and finally he pursed his lips.
A dark light flashed across his face, and finally he curled up obediently in the shell bed and closed his eyes.
Not long after, he suddenly felt a slightly strange touch on his tail. Jiuqi opened his eyes, and a slight pain mixed with bursts of coolness spread across his tail.
Then Jiuqi saw Chu Ci sitting next to the shell bed, applying ointment on his fish tail with the medicine in his hand.
