He carried Shen Zhiyi back to the Shen residence.
Throughout the journey, Shen Zhiyi kept her head down like a quail, remaining silent.
So embarrassing...
Countless people have been watching them along the way.
But this person was very stubborn, and no matter what she said on the way, he just wouldn't let her off.
like……
It's like they're deliberately trying to make others see them together.
Shen Zhiyi was able to jump off him once she entered the mansion.
“If you do this, people will misunderstand our relationship,” she said.
Qingyuan pursed his lips and looked at her.
What's the misunderstanding?
His tone was slightly cold, carrying a hint of bitterness that he himself was unaware of.
"Didn't you say I was yours?"
He stared at her intently, his gaze deep.
“Since you live in my house, you are naturally one of my people,” Shen Zhiyi said, hands on her hips. “If I didn’t say that, outsiders would start to doubt your identity.”
"I'm saying this for your own good."
"Being my man is better than being seen as a monster by others."
She paced in front of him, scrutinizing him with a probing gaze. "Besides, if you're so sure, why have you been avoiding me all this time?"
Qingyuan avoided eye contact.
"He didn't hide."
These days, his desire for her grows stronger.
If we keep suppressing our feelings, they will eventually explode.
At that time, the demonic power will be released in a frenzy.
It will inevitably bring floods to the world.
Therefore, he could only do something secretive, despicable, and superficially comforting while she was deep asleep, without harming her.
But if she is awake, his demonic power is unstable, and once he loses control, he will take her without mercy.
Mermaids love only one person in their lifetime.
I will never tolerate betrayal by my partner.
He was still unsure of her feelings.
so……
We can't be so hasty.
Shen Zhiyi, however, was unaware of these crucial details; she was only concerned with how to extract the mermaid pearls.
“Alright.” Her eyes flickered, and thinking of the methods the madam had taught her, she said, “Since you’re not hiding, I’ll teach you some ways to get along with people in the human world, so that you won’t act so promiscuously and be easily discovered to be a demon.”
"At that time, not only you, but I will also have a lot of trouble."
Qingyuan: ...
"Me?" He curled his lip. "Promiscuous?"
“Mmm.” Shen Zhiyi nodded vigorously. “When you carried me back like that just now, in the eyes of outsiders, it would look like you were being promiscuous.”
Qingyuan's eyes were deep, and he looked straight into her eyes.
He didn't mind others knowing he was a demon.
What he was concerned about was... that it would cause her trouble.
He didn't want to bother her.
"Then how are you going to teach me?" he asked sullenly.
It teaches him to follow the rules.
Or should I teach him...how to stay away from her?
Qingyuan's expression darkened slightly.
Shen Zhiyi chuckled to herself, took his hand and led him into the house, saying in a serious tone, "I'm going to teach you what debauchery is."
"From now on, just avoid these things."
Qingyuan suddenly froze.
Before she could even react, Shen Zhiyi had already dragged her inside.
"Please sit here for a while," Shen Zhiyi said. "Teaching is very tiring. I'll go and make you some nourishing soup."
"We'll start after you finish drinking."
She went out, twisting her handkerchief.
Qingyuan gazed at her slender back, then looked down at his fingertips.
Her warmth still seemed to linger in his palm.
Even the tip of my nose seems to catch the sweet scent of gardenias emanating from her.
He closed his eyes and slowly curled his knuckles...
Shen Zhiyi returned shortly afterward with a large amount of nourishing soup.
Here, have a taste.
She eagerly ladled a bowl of soup for him, saying, "This is quail stewed with wolfberries and deer antler; it costs a lot of money!"
“And these too,” she waved her hand, pointing to the dishes and soups on the table, “we can’t waste any of them, we have to eat them all.”
Qingyuan looked at the steaming soup and the pile of ingredients on the table.
A hint of helplessness flashed across his deep, ocean-like eyes.
Although he didn't understand many things in the world, he was extremely sensitive to these ingredients that stimulated his blood and energy.
but……
He saw the burning light in Shen Zhiyi's eyes.
I didn't want to see any look of disappointment on that beautiful face.
He lowered his eyes and pondered deeply.
It's nothing more than putting in more effort to suppress the desire.
It's better than disappointing her.
“Okay, I’ll drink it.” He took the soup and obediently agreed.
Shen Zhiyi smiled with delight.
"That's more like it."
She turned and sat down across the table, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "Eat, I'll just watch from here."
