Caught off guard by the sudden criticism, the man, over forty, was visibly taken aback, then awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Well... who would know?"
"If you really don't like it, I'll give you the renovation team's phone number, I'll pay for it, and you can change it yourself?"
"It's alright." Si Jin was very easy to talk to: "I won't be staying for long anyway, I can barely bear it."
"Okay, then you get some rest. I'll be going now." With that, she turned and walked out the door.
The moment the door closed, the smile on Ying Chengliang's face vanished, replaced by a venomous look.
He wouldn't have endured this long if it weren't for research.
Once the elixir of immortality is successfully developed, he will definitely drown Jin Sijin in the fish tank, turn on the electricity, and set the voltage to the highest level, so that he can taste the pain of being worse than dead!
… …
As the footsteps faded into the distance, the sky outside also darkened.
Once the door is closed, the only way to see the person opposite is by the faint light from the window.
As evening approached, Si Jin did not turn on the lights. Instead, in the silence, she took two steps toward Lin Yuan, her fingertips tracing his cold fins, and gently removed the strap of the bite stopper.
Then, her fingers slid down her cheeks, across her lips, and stopped at her neck, her knuckles slightly bent, hooking the metal ring that bound her collar.
With a strong tug, "crack!" the collar separated, revealing obvious corrosive marks on the neck, bloody and far from beautiful.
But this movement caused the fishtail to slip, and Lin Yuan fell directly onto Si Jin.
Its chin rested on the person's shoulder, obediently remaining still.
Feeling Si Jin's knuckles slowly explore the back of his neck, his originally steady breathing gradually became rapid.
His large hand instinctively tightened around the beautiful doctor's waist, and the words the doctor had whispered in the laboratory earlier echoed in his mind.
The whole fish started acting strangely.
At the center of the back of the mermaid's neck, there is a small patch of skin that is exceptionally hard, almost as thick as scales. Beneath it lies the mermaid's lifeline, known as the reverse scale; touching it is fatal.
Feeling Si Jin's fingers caress his skin, Lin Yuan subconsciously gritted his teeth, controlling himself and not wanting to hurt her.
Because the breeding season is approaching.
It's rare to meet a human who is willing to protect him and likes him, and so far, no malice has been detected.
However, the next moment, Si Jin pressed her finger down hard on Ni Lin.
Lin Yuan couldn't take it for a moment, so he looked up and hissed reflexively, raising his dorsal fin and revealing his terrifying fangs.
But the next second, a clanging sound was heard, and a steel needle-like object fell to the ground.
Mermaids live in the deep sea and can see at night. Turning their heads in the direction of the sound, Lin Yuan saw a special steel needle stained with blood.
This was the attack from the group of men in black who stabbed him while they were capturing him, suppressing more than half of his strength.
Otherwise, if I dumped that secretary today, I could definitely smash through the broken wall of that laboratory.
Was it the handsome doctor...who saved me?
Should I... send him a kiss?
He observed that humans express love and joy by kissing each other's lips, but only those he had seen in the fish tank, such as Li Xiao kissing Ying Chengliang.
He found it hypocritical, mismatched, and disgusting, and therefore hated kissing, but for the sake of the handsome doctor, he could temporarily... endure it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan retracted his fangs, swung his large tail, moved forward a little, lowered his head, and cupped Si Jin's face in his hands.
Gazing into the other person's half-smiling eyes, my heart started racing. It felt like I was with someone else, and the kiss didn't seem so unpleasant anymore.
The mermaid slowly lowered his head, about to kiss him, when Si Jin raised his hand and put something on his lips.
