Chapter 8 Chapter 8 You are still a novice when it comes to lying, Ani. …
"Hello, classmate. Don't reject the call yet... I am Ren Ping, the liaison officer of the Galaxy Guardians Union. I would like to invite you to become a reserve member of the Guardians Union..."
"Ding, the harassing communication has been cut off."
"Student Annie?" A new message came in. "Congratulations. You don't know the results of your exam yet. I'm from Star Fran—"
"Ding, the harassing communication has been cut off."
"Hello, how are you..."
As soon as the rankings were released, Annie's personal communications never stopped. Those organizations that had been waiting and watching for a long time finally took action, attempting to pry this obviously extraordinary human genius away from Planet Aquamarine.
She is not a mermaid, does not have any inexplicable racial affiliation, and comes from a humble background. She seems to be the easiest brick to pry open among the top ten. With Annie's performance, even if she failed to become a Star Sea Warrior through the selection, this resume is enough for her to have a bright future.
The communicator kept ringing, but its owner remained indifferent.
Until a hand picked up the watch that had fallen to the ground and turned off the sound and vibration. Lin raised his head and saw a light-colored figure slumped on the sofa, surrounded by readers containing various materials and thick paper ancient books.
She was buried in a soft blanket, the warm yellow plush blanket set off her snow-white hair.
The average height of human women in the universe is 1.70 cm, and Annie is a little shorter. She curled up, and Lin noticed this, and also slowly realized that this was the first time Ani had rested in six months.
In six months, he had never seen the little monster sleep. She would not stop when she wanted to do something, like a madman. He suddenly thought of the broken crystal trophy. The blood-stained words "Excellent Student" should have been engraved on the bottom of the trophy and would never disappear.
When Lin came back to his senses from his memory, he had subconsciously adjusted the blanket on her body to cover the exposed part of her lower back.
"teacher……"
His movements stopped in mid-air.
"Should you take this opportunity to kill me?" Her voice was lazy and slightly hoarse from not waking up yet. Annie turned around and looked up at him. "Or you could remove the chip while I was sleeping and install an anti-detection program on the watch... Why don't you come over and build this for me?"
Lin looked at her for a few seconds and said, "What if you happen to wake up when I do this?"
"Then I have a legitimate reason to fight back." She answered mercilessly and laughed again, "Teacher, it seems that you regard me as your student as well. And you are sincere about it."
Lin felt his chest tighten.
During these six months, she was indeed his most loyal student, diligent, hardworking and smart. Annie was immersed in her studies and rarely mentioned their agreement.
Neither party has forgotten how they met and the purpose of their relationship, but the long-term teacher-student model has penetrated into his life like an anesthetic, and he is almost forgetting the fear of being occupied by everything.
"Isn't it good?" Lin lowered his eyes and put the communicator on her wrist. "Isn't it good to be my teacher and student? What's the good of having a child? You have to insult the concepts and beliefs of the mermaids for this. The marine race values mutual understanding the most. Even if you force others, you can't get pregnant."
What is he talking about?
Ani didn't listen carefully, just looked at his lips. After a while, he replied to the last words that fell into his ears: "Who said that I wanted to get pregnant?"
Lin said helplessly: "You can become a mermaid, do you still need me to teach you this? You have done 30,000 questions on the history of the sea tribe - well."
Annie reached out and grabbed his uniform, pulled him over, and sealed his lips that seemed to be saying something.
Lin only had time to hold her shoulders.
She didn't tie her hair up, and her snow-white shoulder-length hair fell down, intertwining with the young man's blue hair that was as smooth as water waves. Annie bit the teacher's light-colored lower lip, and he immediately grabbed her shoulders tightly. Is it resistance? Annie felt the mermaid's nails scratching the cloth on her shoulders, piercing into her skin, and leaving shallow blood marks.
But the mermaid's resistance should be enough to tear her into pieces.
The teacher is no longer the dying patient.
At the moment of sealing his words, the forked tongue drilled into his mouth. Annie hugged his waist and her body quickly transformed into a mermaid.
Her hands clasped the back of Lin's neck, and her long nails brushed the snow-white coral on the side of his ear. The milky white translucent ear bone conveyed a subtle feeling. Lin tensed up and escaped from the kiss: "Let go..."
The subsequent sounds were drowned out by the sound of overwhelming water.
This is Lin’s bedroom, which has a pool big enough for swimming and is separated from the living room by only a door. The first time Annie entered his bedroom, she held her teacher's hand and sank to the bottom of the pool. The sound turned into tiny bubbles, gradually rising and disintegrating.
Ani sealed his lips, and she didn't know where she learned to wrap her forked tongue around his lips. Lin opened his eyes and looked at her. The Annie in front of him looked exactly like a member of the same tribe. There were even a few silver scales in the corners of her eyes, revealing floating emotions.
The sound under the water became quiet and dull, and she suddenly said, "You promised me. I'm just asking for it back now."
There are a lot of words stuck in my chest, making it hard to breathe. Although he was clearly in the water, Lin still had the illusion that he was tied up. He looked at Ani and could only think, this debt collector.
Ani said: "If you don't kill me, you will have to face me. Can you open your body for me to see? Lin, teacher..."
"Shut up." He said this, but he closed his eyes and lowered his head. "Don't call the teacher, don't make any noise, don't say anything."
So she really shut her mouth and became a dedicated mute, wrapping her beautiful and slender tail around the teacher's, like a beautiful water snake that had turned into a cage at the bottom of the sea. Her imitation was so similar and perfect that even the feeling of the scales rubbing against each other made Lin feel that Ani was a mermaid.
she……
Lin's thoughts were in a trance for a moment, and the world seemed to be turned upside down. Her mimicry deceived the mermaid's instinct, and another jade-smooth silver Lin's fish tail began to respond to her body language. Every moment when the scales overlapped and rubbed against each other, a shiver went up the spine.
His nails dug into her shoulders, not into Annie's soft skin, but into the tough surface of the female mermaid's skin. The playful scratching only left a light red mark on it. He hummed softly: "...This is the first time I see you being obedient."
Ani's hair brushed past his ears, carrying a soft scent of jasmine.
She held Lin's hand, her slender fingers buried in his fingers, and then said: "It's business, the teacher will be uncomfortable to hear my voice."
Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin instinctively retracted his fingers and made a gesture to escape. The mermaid's instincts did not allow him to get close to outsiders, but Ani grasped his knuckles tightly and held his hand back.
"You have to listen." She said, "I have to study more than once. Before participating in the assessment of the Star Sea Warrior, I have to study the teacher thoroughly. If you can't hear my voice, it will be troublesome..."
Lin lowered his head and exhaled. His slightly confused mind was cured by the word "research". He asked, "Why are you trying so hard to take the test? Didn't I tell you? The only outcome of entering the hunting ground is death. Every contestant is a desperate person who is in danger of losing his life. Do you want power or profit?"
"Well." Ani didn't hesitate too much, "But there are many races gathered there, and there are also various mutants and warriors who have been injected with genetic drugs. Maybe it will be easy to meet someone who can have a child with me."
She spoke calmly, her light pink eyes looking at him sincerely and frankly, as if she thought it was no big deal.
Lin looked at her.
The mermaid's blue eyes stared at her blankly, as if out of focus and without any response for a long time. Her tail wrapped around her tighter, and the next moment, the male, who had just been considered docile, suddenly resisted violently, scratching her palm with his nails and piercing her forearm, and the smell of blood surged in the water.
Ani reached out to touch him.
It was just a grab of the hand, but the teacher struggled violently, and every scale on his body was filled with resistance and pain. Lin tried to hold onto the lamp at the bottom of the pool but instead knocked over a glass ornament on the cabinet. He reacted so violently that he covered his mouth, his stomach cramping and aching as if he was going to vomit blood.
"Teacher." Ani didn't expect it to suddenly turn out like this. He was like a fish and it looked like he was about to lose the ability to swim.
She reached out and held Lin to help him keep his balance.
Lin's reaction was the same as last time, his mermaid nature was venting and shouting, blaming him for kissing a foreigner. He shook Ani off with force, uttering "get away" through gritted teeth.
Ani stopped in the water and looked at him. He was already at the bottom of the pool. He didn't spit out anything, but his lips were bitten and a little blood was oozing out.
"You monster..." Lin raised his hand to wipe the corner of his lips, panting and speaking in a hoarse voice, "You..." He took a deep breath and lowered his head, "You are a madman with only goals in your mind, a damn breeding addict, you don't understand human nature at all."
"Then, if I try hard to deceive you, will you feel better?" Annie had no intention of mocking him. She was just stating the fact. A small tentacle stretched out from beneath her beautiful mermaid appearance and tried to pry open the other's hand that was clenched so tightly that it was about to hurt her.
The more familiar and intimate the skin is, the stronger the sense of inhumanity it reveals.
His voice trembled slightly, with regret and hatred mixed together. He shook his head and laughed sarcastically. He was not laughing at Annie, but at himself. He actually indulged such a guy.
The nauseating feeling that was stuck in the throat still lingered. Lin shook off the tentacles that were reaching out to him, not wanting to be touched: "I shouldn't have thought about getting along with you. I should have hated you forever and tried every way to get rid of you."
After saying this, he swam upstream from the pool, put on a coat and left.
It’s already March, but the spring nights in District 8 are still chilly and cold, with a strong sea breeze. Annie floated up and lay on the edge of the pool, watching his back disappear. After watching for a while, a tentacle stretched out from underwater, rolled up the e-reader, and turned out the 30,000 questions about sea creatures that she had done.
"I know why he can't accept it."
She engraved these questions deeply in her mind, and her understanding of the sea people has changed a lot.
Ani held her chin with both hands and thought quietly for a while, "But love is hard to simulate. What I don't know is how to fall in love with the teacher in the way of a mermaid... I will learn more about this aspect."
-
Lin calmed down outside for a few hours.
Sentences kept popping up in his mind, questioning himself. For example, "Why are you so indulgent towards her? You don't really regard her as your student, do you?"
She is not a good and obedient student. Not only can she turn into a mermaid with a forked tongue, she can also force a kiss - after all, he shouldn't cooperate with the student's forced kiss!
Lin raised his hand to cover his forehead and felt his eyebrows throbbing. Another thought came to mind, questioning aggressively: "You're not really going to keep your promise, are you? Isn't that a stopgap measure? The real solution is for you to find a way to get rid of her or even kill her. Stop dreaming of peaceful coexistence and hoping that she'll have a change of heart."
My father's angry words "How could I have a child as weak and incompetent as you?!" could still be heard in my ears.
His head hurt even more. Lin pressed his brow with his fingertips, closed his eyes, and murmured, "How stupid... I was fooled by her appearance again."
He doesn't want to trust Ani anymore.
You have to treat her as an enemy, or at least as a bad person. Lin rebuilt his psychological defenses and prepared to go home in the early morning.
This is the accommodation provided by the school to teachers. Annie couldn't afford to live in the dormitory, so she moved here and paid half of the living expenses. But was she really short of money, or did she want to be monitored every day when she opened her eyes? Lin always felt it was the latter.
He opened the door with his ID, and the smart butler sounded a soft reminder tone. There was no light in the living room, only a small screen was on. Annie was lying on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel, watching the screen. This habit was said to be to save electricity.
Lin didn't know what expression to make, so he just washed his hands and changed his clothes.
Annie was reading the "Detailed Rules and Notices on the Star Sea Warrior Selection Competition" sent to her by the school. In addition, two small tentacles were holding a paper copy of "Love Manual". She was reading at a significantly slower speed and was having a hard time reading the book.
Human beings' obscure and abstract discussions on love greatly affected Ani's understanding.
But she didn't learn nothing. When the teacher came in, she moved the screen away and silently looked at Lin's profile in the dim light. She walked over quietly without even a breathing sound.
Lin turned his head and his nose hit her forehead.
This was so sudden that before he could cry out in pain, Annie covered her forehead with her hands. Her eyes gleamed in the darkness as she said softly, "It hurts..."
Lin didn't move for a long while and asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Ani nodded: "Probably, I took a secret human drug called 'Just act cute to get a male to mate with me', and it's almost poisoning me to death."
Lin sneered: "If the poison is not strong enough, you can still talk nonsense."
Ani put her arms around his neck and said, "Teacher," her light-colored eyes approached, and her delicate and lovely face enlarged in front of her, "I will love you well."
Lin: “…”
He just felt more suffocated and blocked, turned his head away from her, and whispered: "Let go, it's disgusting."
Ani let go of her hand and leaned against the door frame: "I will be attending the tryouts in ten days."
Lin brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth as if he was ignoring it, spitting out the last bit of bloody taste left in his mouth. He didn't seem to care about the chip in his brain. If Annie blew him to death directly, he would probably just say "Ah, I'm gone. If this monster takes a fancy to you again, you'll be on your own."
Ani continued, "The notice said the mortality rate is 30%. Can I sleep with the teacher before I die?"
As she spoke, she folded her hands and gently placed them against her chin. She closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly, pretending to be a magical girl making a wish: "This is what I really think, otherwise I will die with regrets."
"…Is this what you came up with from your lower body? You're still a novice at lying, Annie."
"Wow." She secretly opened one eye to see his expression, "How did you know?"
