"ah--!"
Water splashed everywhere.
Shen Zhiyi gasped and struggled to grab the edge of the wooden tub.
The apricot-colored thin shirt was soaked with water and clung tightly to her body.
She looked at Qingyuan with a blank expression.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
He leaned in close, almost touching her forehead.
A distant, chilling aura pressed down instantly, and Shen Zhiyi's breath caught in her throat.
"Call me Qingyuan," he said softly.
His deep blue eyes swirled like deep-sea currents, churning and surging, trying to pull her in.
Shen Zhiyi was instantly captivated.
His expression changed from tense to blank and vacant.
"Qingyuan".
She was completely compliant and slowly opened her lips.
Qingyuan frowned.
In just a moment, he let go and moved a little further away from her.
Inquiring eyes fell on her.
He had not been able to draw any power from her to restore his demonic energy.
Is it that she lacks goodwill, or that this ability is not based on goodwill?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly came to her senses.
Just as she was about to say something, the man in front of her turned around, revealing his broad back to her.
"I've already warned you."
"Stay away from me."
He said coolly.
But where she couldn't see, his finger bones gripped the edge of the bathtub tightly, squeezing until they turned white, forcefully pressing down the lines on her forehead.
Shen Zhiyi: ...
She found this merman really strange.
But beside him was his gleaming tail.
Looking at the beautiful fish scales on the fish, and thinking about the five hundred taels of silver she would earn each month, the anger on her face unconsciously faded away and turned into a sweet smile.
whee.
Even the most ruthless woman would laugh out loud upon seeing these scales.
"Qingyuan, are you hungry?"
After she finished speaking, she unconsciously paused for a moment.
Why don't I call him "sir" or "you" anymore?
It was as if I had been manipulated by something.
Shen Zhiyi tilted her head in confusion, but didn't think much of it. She got up and climbed out of the bucket. "I'll go prepare dinner for you."
A cunning glint flashed in her eyes.
She has plenty of power and means to make him cry!
A short while later, Shen Zhiyi changed her clothes and brought in a plate of food.
There were several items on it, all covered with lids.
"Look what I brought you!"
She dragged over a small table, placed it next to the bathtub, and put the food on it.
She moved another chair and sat down next to him.
“You must like raw food, right?” She opened the first lid. “Here, try this.”
Qingyuan frowned as he looked at the round, purple little thing in the center of the plate.
"What's this?"
“These are onions.” Shen Zhiyi said calmly, but secretly she was laughing to herself.
I definitely don't recognize you!
She straightened her lips and said seriously, "This is a fruit that is rarely seen here."
"Take a bite, and you'll never forget it."
She specifically chose the spiciest and spiciest variety!
I refuse to believe I can't bring him to tears!
"How are we supposed to eat this?" Qingyuan looked at her, puzzled.
Shen Zhiyi picked up an onion and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Just like this, gnaw on it."
"Try it quickly."
She looked up at him, her bright, expectant eyes sparkling.
Qingyuan hesitated and lowered his head.
I took a bite.
