Chapter 185 Lucky Fish You Won't Eat My Canned Food
Hearing this, Yu Chen looked at him for a while and replied, "Okay."
He was originally sitting on the ground, but after agreeing, he stood up with the help of the wall and walked slowly into the inner room. His posture was relaxed and easy, but Bai Ling looked at his back and inexplicably felt that he seemed a little lazy today.
He was standing at the door just now, leaning against the wall, and didn't come in for a long time.
Very little action.
Maybe I worked too much today and was too tired.
Bai Ling planned to ask him and take this opportunity to make this matter clear. After all, the mermaid can't keep doing the job of a postman. It would have been fine if he hadn't been discovered before, but now that he has revealed his identity to him, Bai Ling can't just let it go.
It's too dangerous.
Bai Ling even felt scared when he thought about it. He even asked the postman to be a substitute for the stormtroopers. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something had happened, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Space was saved wherever possible in the camp, and except for the hangar and armory, other facilities were kept simple.
Commander Bai's living room is small, and his bedroom is even smaller. There is a single bed of one meter by two meters against the wall, and a chair that serves as a bedside table. Apart from this, there is no other furniture.
When the mermaids walked in, there was almost no place to stand.
Bai Ling had no choice but to pull the mermaid to sit beside the bed
Glancing sideways, the mermaid's eyelashes drooped, and his deep brow bones made him look a little lonely and steep. However, this lofty and distant feeling was diluted when he spoke. He asked for your opinion in a gentle voice:
"How do you want to touch me? Do you want me to take off my shirt?"
They had just come in and the heater in the room was on, but the temperature had not yet risen. Although he knew that mermaids were not afraid of the cold, Bai Ling still said:
"Don't take it off. It's cold in the room. You should keep it on."
As he spoke, Bai Ling curled the corners of his lips, rubbed his hands together to warm them up, and then stuffed them into Yu Chen's pajamas.
Yu Chen has a body type with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He is tall, but not stout, especially his muscular waist, which makes him look very slender when he wears a slightly tight base shirt.
Bai Ling had hugged this waist countless times, so he knew the scale and circumference by heart. He stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around it, put his head against the fish's chest, and carefully measured and tasted it. "Hmm... it seems to have lost weight. I need to replenish it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand quietly pinched his lower abdomen.
Bai Ling retreated with an "eh" sound, looked at the mermaid and smiled, "You've gained a little weight, it seems you've been well nourished."
Bai Ling was stunned for two seconds. The fish became thinner and he became fatter. It sounded like the fish's flesh had grown onto his body.
He suddenly remembered canned fish.
Yu Chen did threaten him with the can, but when he turned around and asked, this guy was vague about the contents inside, neither admitting nor denying, so Bai Ling still doesn't know what he ate.
Bai Ling grabbed his forearm and asked again on the spot: "Tell me the truth, what is in that can?"
Yu Chen turned his eyes away and curled his lips slightly, "Who cares what it is, as long as it tastes good."
Bai Ling locked his eyes with him and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but don't ever do this again. From now on, I will eat canned food with factory labels on it, and you can't change my food again."
Maybe the word "don't even think about it" sounded too strong, so Yu Chen said slowly, "If I want to change, even a label can't stop me."
Bai Ling was speechless for a moment. Why is this fish so unwilling to eat anything?
Bai Ling thought that he had been very indulgent towards him, but this time, pretending to be a postman still touched Bai Ling's bottom line. It’s not that he wasn’t moved, but he had a vague feeling—
Yu Chen is back during the breeding season this time, and he is even more uncontrollable than before.
Before, he would never do such an impulsive thing.
But this time, it seemed that the mermaid could not be driven away, and she insisted on staying by his side even at the risk of her life.
This made Bai Ling wonder if he had heard some bad news, which led to his extreme behavior.
Bai Ling asked him this, but Yu Chen had a smile in his eyes and said:
"I admire Commander Bird and want to witness the hero's story with my own eyes. Is that not allowed?"
As he spoke, he pulled his long legs up to the bed, sat cross-legged, holding a military green pillow in his arms, resting his elbows on it, and looking at Bai Ling with his chin in his hand.
When Bai Ling was swept by that gaze, he suddenly felt a heat rising from his pubic bone, and then the shame spread to his face.
worship.
How could he say that?
Is it necessary to use such solemn words to describe their relationship? Just say you want to do it.
Bai Ling curled his lips and said, "Forget about the admiration. After all, I haven't won many battles. You should save this talk for next year before fooling me."
Yu stared at him and said softly, "You will win many battles in the future."
Bai Ling said casually: "Yes, I have a lot of achievements..." Suddenly he realized and turned his head, "How did you know?"
But I felt it was too sensitive to say it out loud. Maybe this was just the mermaid's beautiful wishful thinking.
Yu Chen's dark and deep green eyes met his gaze and he suddenly changed the subject: "Bai Ling, I had a dream."
Bai Ling paused for a moment and was silent.
"Dream...dream about what?" After a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "It must be a nightmare, right?"
Yu Chen lowered his eyes and pulled his lip: "It's not an important dream, I just dreamed that I turned into a monster. I won't tell you the details, for fear of scaring you."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then calmed him down lightly: "What's so scary about that? It's just a monster. I've learned how to get along with monsters."
Yu Chen followed up by asking, "Where did you learn that?"
Considering his rich life experience, Yu Chen naturally thought that he had been to some secret military base or some special non-human research institute. There were all kinds of monsters contained in huge glass containers, and it was there that Commander Bird learned this kind of dangerous knowledge.
However, Bai Ling said as a matter of course: "I learned it at the city library. There are many science fiction books on the children's section shelf."
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. This was truly an unexpected yet reasonable answer.
"I learned a lot, about octopus monsters, snow mountain monsters, werewolf monsters covered with thorns, and messy corpse monsters... Oh, have you read that book?" Bai Ling asked while stroking his long curly hair like seaweed.
"Which one?" Yu Chen silently arched his back to match the movement of his hand.
"Frankenstein."
Of course Yu Chen had seen it.
Frankenstein was a scientist who was obsessed with life, so he used broken body parts to piece together a monster. But the monster was so ugly, terrifying and disgusting that Frankenstein abandoned it.
Frankenstein called it "Devil!"
This "devil" doesn't even have a name of its own. All it wants is people's warmth and love.
Frankenstein is unwilling to care about the monster and he keeps running away from it until the monster ruins his life and becomes a real demon.
"That's when I thought, if I had my own monster, I would never abandon it."
"The monster was kind-hearted and helpful at the beginning, but it was the hostile society that forced it to become a demon."
“Frankenstein, please don’t abandon your monster.”
Bai Ling wrapped his arms around the mermaid, the powerful beating of the bird's heart transmitted to her through his chest. He said softly and proudly:
"That wouldn't be the case with Frankens Falcon."
Frankenstein Falcon, he has his own philosophy of life.
Even though he was holding the most dangerous and cruel devil in the world, he never thought of escaping.
He is a responsible person.
"So next time if you feel wronged, please tell me, just like today. Because I also have my moments of slowness..."
Veterans who survived the battlefield and were able to get rid of stress disorders and live a normal life all need some degree of numbness.
Bai Ling was born with this insensitivity.
While other birds were trembling with fear while holding science fiction books, the Falcon Group had already begun to boldly imagine what kind of monster they would have.
Maybe this is also a kind of law of attraction. When you desire monsters, monsters will come to you.
After the story was told, the heating in the room was turned up, making people's necks red. Bai Ling turned over and sat on the mermaid's thighs, facing him, and put his arms around his neck, whispering in his ear: "Monster fish, are we going to sleep on a vegetarian or meaty night today?"
The night light comes on.
His tense lower back hit the pillow, and Bai Ling just let out a low moan before his breath was instantly devoured.
The pheromones were too strong, and he couldn't resist and had to pick up the bed sheet. The hand with a pale base and light blue meridians came over in an instant, grabbed his wrist and held it back, and intertwined their fingers with his.
Bai Ling's cheeks were burning hot. The alpha's finger bones were thicker than his, so crossing the fingers would stretch his skin. It's obviously a legitimate part, but when it's done by an old man, it feels like an invasion.
The fingertips of Yu Chen were covered with a thin layer of calluses.
Those are hands that have worked.
I have worked in seedling raising, carpentry, logistics, and also...
He turned his eyes away with difficulty, but his arms were still wrapped around the gloomy back, and his claws dug deeper and deeper. Just before the final blow, the man suddenly stopped and ordered him:
“Scan the code.”
Bai Ling's eyes were confused: "Hmm?"
Yu Chen raised his neck and exposed the barcode to the light, "Scan this."
Bai Ling then remembered this and hurriedly got up. He searched among the folds of the tangled sheets for the terminal, picked it up and swept it across the mermaid's neck, with a beeping sound.
"Scan failed."
Hearing the prompt tone, Bai Ling looked at it in surprise. It wasn't scanned?
Scan again.
"Scan failed, please check if the barcode is complete."
Bai Ling held the terminal and frowned: "What's going on? It keeps saying failure, and the barcode is quite complete..."
Suddenly realized something.
He pulled Yu Chen over and into the light, and with rapid breathing, he pulled the small desk lamp over and shone it on the mermaid's face.
The mermaid's vertical pupil shrank into a needle, and she narrowed her eyes dangerously, as if being stabbed by the light, and turned into the darkness without making a sound.
Bai Ling ordered loudly: "Don't move!"
The cold light shone diagonally, the mermaid's cheeks were pale, her jaw was twisted with a cold outline, and she pursed her thin lips and said nothing.
The barcode is literally missing a small piece.
This is special ink and it is impossible to wash it off without reason, so the only possibility is that this piece of meat has just grown.
Bai Ling pulled his collar and asked anxiously, "What happened? Are you hurt somewhere? Why didn't you tell me?"
Yu Chen said slowly: "I told you."
"Tell me, when..." A message flashed through Bai Ling's mind: [Logistics escort personnel were injured while saving others].
Bai Ling knew that the mermaid was injured, but seeing that he was leaning against the wall when he came, Bai Ling thought it was a minor injury that was not serious.
Who would have thought that this person kept silent and never mentioned it again after his wounds healed.
——Of course not. You will worry if I mention it.
Bai Ling had a strong premonition in his heart, and he was suddenly very scared, afraid that Yu Chen was hiding more things from him.
He held the lamp in one hand and tightly grasped the mermaid's arm with the other, staring at him with his gray eyes:
"Take off your clothes."
“…”
"Take off all of your damn pajamas. I want to check!"
Yu Chen raised his eyes: "Are you ordering me?"
Bai Ling no longer tolerated him at this time, and sneered with trembling teeth: "Yes, Private Ifas, as the highest commander of the entire battalion, I order you to take off all your clothes and tell me the truth!"
"What do you want to tell me?"
"All your crimes."
The lamp cord was stretched too tight and broke with a bang.
Bai Ling's body shook, and the mermaid's limbs also trembled violently.
Like hearing a starting gunshot, the adrenaline surged above the critical value, and two bodies that had been under chronic stress collided with each other like crazy.
The bed was terribly small, and the struggle for control became the subject of a fight. Sometimes Bai Ling was riding on the bulging belly of a fish with his back soaked in sweat, and sometimes a strong body was pressing him down fiercely by the neck. The struggle was so intense that even his calves were stretched so much that they were sore. He could not tell whether this was his mortal enemy or his lover.
In the chaos, his nose hit the scales and Bai Ling's scalp went numb. He raised his arms and was about to step back, but a pair of icy webbed fingers pulled him back fiercely, threw him against the wall and pressed him down.
"asshole--!"
Before he could utter a curse, the tip of a cold, wet, forked tongue had already slipped smoothly into the gap between his slightly parted lips and slid into his throat like a snake.
The strong smell of the sea mixed with the rotten pheromones wantonly pierced his throat.
Crazy.
It sucked on him, drinking from him like a faucet. It took over his salivary glands and even controlled the frequency of his breathing and swallowing.
Can't breathe.
The small room was as narrow as a coffin. The heat from the heater and the cold monster's body formed an extreme temperature contrast. Bai Ling struggled convulsively, his eyelids trembling from the temperature that was not meant for humans.
The tip of its forked tongue licked behind his ear, and it spoke slowly and cruelly: "Frankensfalcon, is this the story you wanted?"
Bai Ling struggled desperately, "...Get out of here!"
But it was still eating, licking his tense neck, like a reptile with blurry vision, sticking out the two forks on its tongue and slowly dragging it across the back of his neck. There were its teeth marks there; it liked it here, just as a dog smells the scent before peeing, it was also used to revisiting this piece of hot and soft meat before ejaculating.
Very fragrant...very delicious...
The taste of birds in winter is different. Fattened birds are fluffy and soft, and have a more moist taste. The bird it raises is of higher quality and tastier, because it works hard to feed it a lot of fish oil, which makes the bird's feathers shine beautifully... that is very good fish oil, very good meat -
"...I gave birth to it myself, so I want to enjoy it myself." It murmured hoarsely.
Bai Ling's heart was pounding, and he was completely unaware of the meaning of his words. He only felt the tail made of pure muscle, wrapped around his legs like a python, getting tighter and tighter. The cold, diamond-shaped scales on the belly were wriggling non-stop, making him break out in goose bumps all over his body.
The room was dark, the only light coming from the tall exhaust windows. Outside the fence, a little bird that got lost late at night stopped here and leaned towards the window to look inside. Deep in the shadows, the bow's tail was trembling with its tail fin, nailing the collapsed and dazed eagle to death.
This scene, which looked like a monster eating, frightened the little bird so much that it flapped its wings and flew away in panic.
Bai Ling felt like he fainted.
When he woke up again, he looked up and met the monster's eyes, which were as green as toxic radioactive substances. It lowered its head and sniffed the hot blood vessels in his neck. Its disordered breathing revealed its abnormal emotions.
Very strange.
It was like a wounded monster activating its defense mechanism, while holding its prey in its mouth in an attempt to seek comfort.
——I gave birth to it myself.
Produced.
can.
Something flashed through Bai Ling's mind. At this time, the tail wrapped around Bai Ling again, with its scaly belly sticking to him, its tail fin hooking around his ankles, and even the last bit of the tail tip climbed up along the bedpost, trembling as it wrapped around Bai Ling.
Before, Bai Ling might have struggled and screamed.
But at this moment, he gradually sensed something abnormal - the tip of the tail, which was slowly wriggling and entwining with his tail, seemed to be exceptionally soft.
Soft and tender, lacking scales, as if it had just grown.
Could it be that...
In an instant, the mermaid's previous movements of standing up with the help of the wall, her slow walk, and her tired expression all seemed to have crazy and reasonable answers.
Bai Ling's breathing became disordered, and he wanted to ask him anxiously, "Yu Chen——"
The prosthetic limb collapsed and hit the bedpost, and the mermaid remained silent.
"...Monster fish!"
The sheets were tangled up in a ball and were swept to the ground by the mermaid's tail.
Try again, "Stop, stop! ... My husband——"
The monster came closer and said coldly, "Scream again."
During the brief pause, Bai Ling hugged his neck and panted heavily, "My husband..."
The small tail fin wrapped around the female's ankle swayed slightly.
According to international practice, both sides should take a step back.
Then the monster fish lay down, its long seaweed-like hair hanging down, and its cheek buried in Bai Ling's neck, becoming a docile human. "What's wrong?"
Bai Ling grabbed the bad guy's long hair and gritted his teeth: "Show me your tail."
The mermaid froze and didn't move.
Bai Ling took it as its tacit consent and directly reached for the terminal to turn on the flashlight. The bright light pierced through the darkness and shone towards the end of the bed. Looking up, the bird's blue tail trembled like a leech that had been discovered, and it quickly loosened its legs and swung its tail fin back into the darkness.
Bai Ling saw it clearly.
Many scales were missing from that beautiful tail.
In the entire military camp, no one in the food chain can be above the mermaid, so it is not others who prey on it, but it preys on itself.
No wonder... No wonder he got so angry when he saw someone giving him scales.
No wonder his face is pale and bloodless.
No wonder you feel wronged.
It deserves to be wronged.
I am taciturn and I give my all without saying a word. No one sees me and I can only hide it under my trouser legs and swallow the pain silently.
People only know that the mermaid's tail muscles are strong and are the source of all their strength, but no one knows that this place is densely covered with nerves, and even losing a scale would be extremely painful, let alone removing flesh.
These days, postmen are on the go for their work.
So every day, every time it passes Bai Ling, it is actually like walking on the edge of a knife.
But it is willing.
Because winter is coming, we have to use the most nutritious meat to feed the female well so that she can grow fat while holding her in our arms.
This proud and complacent male must think he is the best meat in the world.
It will dedicate itself to you to compensate you for your hard work, care, and love for it this year.
There's no need to tell you, and I don't want everyone to know.
As for the cans, they are just to scare you. They won’t show you the real wounds, because that is what is really scary.
I'll just hide the wound.
Bai Ling clenched the terminal tightly, his vision gradually blurred, and his field of vision condensed into an unreal light.
He lowered his head, tears rolled out of his eyes and hit the terminal screen.
I have a monster too.
People called him the devil.
Beside him, a pale, slender knuckle reached out, wiped away his tears, pulled him into her arms and gently patted his back: "Baby, if you don't like it, it won't happen again next time."
But I understand that it is not a demon, it just behaves strangely and wants to give me everything.
Give me a lot of love and hide a lot of pain.
Fortunately, I am not Frankenstein.
I will not abandon my monster fish.
Bai Ling wiped his eyes in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered to ask, "You said you turned into a monster in your dream, so what happened in the end? Where did you go?"
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, then lowered her watery eyes, touched his forehead, and told him softly:
"In the end...the monster fish met the Frankenstein falcon and became the lucky canned fish."
This time, it did not die alone.
·
That night, Yu Chen had that dream again.
He dreamed that Commander Bird won and the other side came to him in a broken Rattler.
The two of them stood on the old hallway carpet, and he felt nervous, not knowing which cell he would be assigned to.
But Commander Bird shook his cold hand and said cheerfully in his broken voice, "I know you."
"You helped us."
Commander Bird was a good man. He had fought many battles and was covered in wounds. But he was still kind and helped them pack their luggage while limping. He also asked, "Do you have any friends? If not, you can stay at my place recently."
Then he turned around and smiled: "Of course, it's not very spacious."
Commander Bird's living quarters were indeed not spacious, but that did not prevent them from rolling onto the same bed.
The bed was made of iron and creaked when it shook.
One day, the bed collapsed, and Commander Bird rode on him and shook him awake, "Look at what you, a big-tailed fish, have done."
He blinked his golden eyelashes and slowly moved his gaze to the young and heroic face of Commander Bird. There was an electronic clock hanging on the wall next to him. The time showed that it was twenty years ago and all the suffering had not yet happened.
On the collapsed bed, Bai Ling looked at his dazed face after waking up from his sleep, pursed his lips, held his face and said:
"The bed has flipped over. Go sleep in the living room."
He vaguely remembered that his tail had rotted while he was lying on the hospital bed, and many scales had fallen off, which was very painful. His legs were also hurting now, but Bai Ling held him tightly with her thin fingers, observing his expression from time to time and asking in a low voice: "Does your tail still hurt? I have painkillers, but I don't know if they will work for you."
As he spoke, he put him on the bed in the living room and got up to find medicine.
As soon as Bai Ling turned around, the mermaid grabbed the corner of his clothes.
He turned around and said slowly, "I had a dream..."
Bai Ling walked back and kissed him lightly and quickly on the lips, passing the bird's body temperature to him, and whispered in his ear, "It's time to wake up, Lucky Fish."
When I woke up, my dream came true.
He looked up at the ceiling and curled his lips.
What a lucky fish.
