The two people's hands were less than a centimeter apart, accompanying each other but unable to touch. His knuckles landed beside her hands, no longer touching the virtual screen where information was flowing, his knuckles protruding thinly.
Lin did not answer, but just looked at her face. His eyes, as broad and deep as the sea, gazed at him with a hint of tenderness.
He wasn't having a good time. Since she learned about the other party's unexpected situations, Annie had many questions to ask him.
But at this moment, she didn't know what to ask.
The screen in front of him faded away, and the communicator went silent. The only sound between them was the sparks from the electric fireplace, the flames illuminating his eyes. As if he was trying to figure out how to bring up this topic, Lin was silent for a long time, and then he said to her, "It's okay. It's not the end of the road yet. It's just that the weather is bad, and I always catch a cold and have a fever, just like the day I sent you off."
Annie thought that the day her teacher sent her away from Planet Aquamarine, she was sick. His eyes were burning red, as if tears would fall at any moment and turn into pearls in front of her.
But he was just sick, that didn't seem to be sad.
Ani began to think carefully about the difference between being sad and not being sad. She had a complicated impression of that day: the endless stream of people, heading for a future beyond the planet, his blue eyes revealed when he wore a mask... She didn't pay attention to the weather, whether it was a sunny day...
And that dragonfly-like kiss.
That kiss...
Suddenly, a flash of lightning suddenly penetrated her thoughts. Annie suddenly remembered that kiss she responded to passionately at the port, and she did not turn into a mermaid. He should be disgusted and vomit with extreme resistance towards the race that pursues pure bloodline and does not intermarry.
But he didn't.
She suddenly grabbed Lin's hand beside her, and held his slightly cold knuckles in her palm. Ani rubbed the needle hole on the back of his hand. She looked at Lin's face and asked seriously, "Teacher, do you miss me very much?"
Her palms seemed to have a natural burning heat.
The sudden tight grip made Lin instantly recall the time when they could hold hands and touch each other's skin at any time. It was as if something had hit him silently and solemnly. Lin's mind was occupied by some intricate fragments, nailing scenes that he thought he had forgotten in his mind.
He thought he could say it frankly, he wanted to tell Annie, I don’t hate you.
I like you very much.
Just in the second when his thin lips moved slightly, it was as if cotton wool soaked in water filled his chest, sour, wet and heavy, affecting his vocal cords and making it impossible for him to utter a single sincere word.
Lin never knew before that the meaning of reunion after a long separation was so complicated. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "How could I... miss you so much."
Ani leaned over to look at him, as if trying to determine the truth of his words.
He did not dodge, but raised his hand and gently, tentatively touched her cheek. Ani didn't move, so Lin had a little courage to continue. He slid his fingers across her face, gently tracing the ends of her eyebrows and eyes, as if he had finally returned to reality from a dream and was willing to acknowledge her sudden appearance.
"You always say the opposite of what you mean. I don't know what you really think." Ani said softly, with a little complaint, "If the experimental object of love is this difficult, it's no wonder that I always have a little resistance to this thing - you didn't teach it well."
She gave a very suitable explanation for her preference and nodded as if it was right. Ani watched his eyes become redder as he stared at her, tears flashed in his eyes, and then immediately drooped again.
She could never see his emotions clearly, and couldn't see the moment when he shed tears. Annie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly she was hugged by the mermaid's body, and Lin hugged her tightly.
Abandoned the so-called morality of the predecessor, abandoned the unnecessary sense of boundaries, abandoned his twists and turns, and his hesitation.
Ani felt his rapidly beating heart, thumping right in front of her.
"...Teacher?" She was stunned and called him.
Lin did not answer. Only a few extremely secret and suppressed sobs rang in her ears, so light that they seemed like hallucinations. When Ani turned her head to look, he had already let her go and said again in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, I will go back to the room first..."
Just like the impulse just now doesn’t count.
Ani grabbed his wrist.
Lin pulled again, but the thin wrist was unable to break free from her restraints. Ani stood up with him, holding his hand and walked closer: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Lin took a step back, but Ani approached him again skillfully. It's always like this. Whenever she appears, his space to breathe and survive will be completely squeezed out, and he won't even have time to retreat and think.
He was forced to retreat to a corner against the wall. Ani raised her hand to hold Lin's shoulder and stared into his eyes: "I think you must have joined the Science Association to achieve some purpose. This purpose cannot even be achieved in Sky Technology. After all, Sky Technology has a much better reputation."
She paused, "What is the Association of Science best at? Mutants, genetic drugs, and similar topics are the most common. There should be many biological experiments going on in this institute. Teacher, you are a person with a high sense of morality. Even when I want to hurt others, you feel that it is better to hurt you. You have no desire to compete, and maybe even your desire to survive is not strong enough. I always feel that you hate yourself a little bit. You hate, despise, and doubt the value of your existence."
The two were so familiar with each other, and had an unconcealed and unpretended entanglement with each other's bodies and souls.
"But, you left Planet Aquamarine for a purpose unknown to me, and chose to join such an organization." When Ani said these words, she was so close that the heat from her words could burn through her skin. She whispered, "Why? I really want to know why."
Being seen through by her seemed to be some kind of inevitable option.
During the few seconds of staring at each other in silence, a thousand excuses and reasons flashed through Lin's mind, allowing him to cover up this immature result, but his reflection appeared in Ani's eyes, and everything became empty. He replied: "For you."
Annie was stunned, with a look of obvious confusion on her face. She blinked, saw Lin chuckle softly, and added, "And for myself."
"...What?" Ani said, "It sounds like you want to rekindle our old relationship. We have broken up, and I only have the future father of my child in my heart. Even if...well, even if you take good care of me and I care about you, but we can't..."
He listened patiently, but put his arms around her neck and whispered, "You've grown taller."
Annie suddenly couldn't say the rest of the words. She thought, she just grew taller, what's so strange about that...she will get taller in the future.
But when Lin said this, she felt unexpectedly happy. Ani stared at his dry lips and said, "There is another question. I also want to know the answer."
Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Ani had already gone beyond the scope of "caring and concern" and covered his lips. This is not the feeling that a mermaid should have in one's imagination. It's not moist enough, and there is no fierce resistance.
Lin subconsciously held his breath.
She put one hand around the man's waist and weighed his waist with her arm. The man's slender waist seemed easy to pinch, as if it could be broken if she touched it hard. Her hands stayed on the teacher's waist and she pressed her lips tighter, prying open his teeth.
Annie did not turn into a mermaid, but kissed him with the appearance of a space human. Her soft tentacles came out and wrapped around him, hooking his wrist. Lin was locked in her arms, with no room to escape and no place to hide. The tip of her tongue penetrated deeply, almost invading the other's soft oral mucosa.
It was during this reckless invasion that the other party's throat suddenly tightened, and then her body trembled. Lin suddenly pushed her shoulders away, turned his head and began to retch violently.
Annie was stunned. Her first reaction was the psychological reaction of not intermarrying between races. Her hand froze in mid-air for a moment. Suddenly, a certain sub-brain suddenly sent back a very exciting signal. She was attracted over and touched his lower abdomen along the place where the tentacles were entangled.
The slender waist was covered with a thin layer of muscle. Annie's palm was pressed against the slightly hot skin and flesh, and something jumped strangely.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
……egg?
Moving eggs? !
The other hand covered hers, and Lin's knuckles pressed against the back of her hand.
At this moment, the sense of connection she felt was even clearer and more definite. Ani was so shocked by the sudden beating of life that she couldn't recover for a long time. She bent down and stared at that place, put her hand into his clothes and pressed it against his skin. It took her about two minutes to confirm: "... in the process of combining."
"…What does that mean?" Lin asked her.
"I captured sperm that was capable of combining with her, and succeeded in the adaptation process." Ani said, she raised her eyes to look at the other party, "When did it happen? Has it grown? ... No, why can you... Is this your purpose?"
She thought so quickly that all the abnormal situations were connected together rapidly.
Ani grabbed Lin's hand and lifted up his sleeves. Sure enough, there were traces of injections and external energy replenishment from his narrow white wrist to his forearm. She gently touched the needle holes, and her first emotion after the shock was not ecstasy, but caution.
This kind of energy supply is not only insufficient to support the continued development of the egg, but will also rob him of his own vitality.
After Annie touched these pinholes and scars, she suddenly felt a sense of reality. She hugged him, wrapped her arms around his fragile body, buried her head in his dark blue hair and closed her eyes until her scent permeated the teacher's body.
The noisy little guy seemed to sense her arrival and did not roll over or cry. Instead, he looked extremely peaceful in this tight embrace. But Ani knew that she was in a lot of trouble. She couldn't imagine how the teacher and the baby had managed to hold on until now.
Without sufficient mucus soaking from the mother, the creature would be like her. Even if it had developed to 90%, it would still have to be buried in the soil of the planet for an unknown period of time, taking a long time to absorb the weak energy from the surrounding environment before it could be completely formed.
"Teacher." She called softly.
In the embrace of their breath blending, Lin's body gradually relaxed because of her intimacy. He hummed and sorted out his thoughts: "I don't know why she can't grow up. I have been chatting with her for a while. Could it be that I am thinking wrongly? Or are the medicines I am taking affecting her?"
"It's impossible for a child this young to speak." said Annie.
"…So I was talking to myself." He said, "I told her that your mommy had to conquer the stars and couldn't accompany you."
"I didn't." Annie hugged him again, pretending to protest unhappily, but she didn't really reveal any unhappy emotions. She seemed to feel that Lin would soon turn into bubbles and melt away. Even her tentacles entangled with him and hugged him. One of them softly slid across his shoulders and lifted his hair. "I don't want to stay with you."
Just a word.
Such a short sentence was like a woodpecker knocking on his heart. Lin was about to be pried open a hole in his heart by these words. He coughed muffledly, relaxed and indulged himself, letting her hug him, letting Ani bear the weight that he had been carrying for too long and could not let go.
"What should I do..." he murmured, "Ani. My health is really not good. I don't know if I can carry her to the point where she can be born. What if I die halfway? Will you not want her? Will you not want me and... me and my daughter because you like someone else more?"
Ani held his face in her hands, and was made to doubt her life by these words: "Teacher, do I look like a bad guy who abandoned his husband and daughter?"
Lin looked at her, thought about it, and nodded.
"It's unfair." Ani hugged him tightly again, rubbing his red coral ears like a small animal, pecking and kissing the white but thin skin behind his ears. She said, "You are not in good health because you didn't come to see me. As long as I put my tentacles in and inject nectar into other parts of your gestational sac and soak it with pink mucus... the baby will not need so much energy, and you won't get sick again!"
She spoke logically and continued, "Well...but in the case of a fish tail, you can cover it with scales, and the mucus won't leak out. If you insist on walking with your legs, you have to use something to block it, otherwise wherever you go - Teacher, are you listening to me?"
Annie turned her head and saw that his coral ears were completely covered with a thin layer of powder, almost like a smudge of sunset color. Lin's cheeks and neck were all red, his long dark blue eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, without even a trace of curve at the corners of his lips.
"Teacher?" She had to squeeze over and ask, "Do you know why you are sick? This is the cause -"
