The merman paid no attention to the removed scales, continuing to focus on the young man.
It was so fragrant, and it was becoming more and more fragrant; he could soon identify the source of the young man’s enticing aroma.
As the atmosphere around them grew increasingly ambiguous, an untimely sound of a trumpet abruptly interrupted their actions.
“Zero!”
The voice carried anger. “Leave the pool, get away from merman No. 1!”
“You injured him!”
The young man and the merman, who were immersed in their feelings, were both startled. Bai Lixin was the first to come to his senses.
He cleared his throat, extricated himself from the merman’s embrace, and flipped over the pool wall to return to the shore.
The merman glanced at the overhead speaker, then looked at the young man with some concern.
Just like among humans, there were hierarchical divisions among merfolk.
He could tell that Dr. Olay was the young man’s superior. Dr. Olay was very angry just now; would the young man be subjected to his wrath and punishment?
Damn it, why did scales have to grow on his arms and shoulders? If he didn’t have scales, the young man wouldn’t get pricked, and he wouldn’t have to face Dr. Olay’s punishment.
His gaze fell on the young man.
The young man’s open chest and collarbone were dotted with red marks, and the soaked clothes outlined the young man’s slim yet powerful figure perfectly.
So beautiful.
For a brief moment, the merman was suddenly mesmerized.

In the live broadcast room
[In my opinion, Dr. Olay is somewhat ignorant.]
[From passionate kissing to scale-picking. Big boss: It’s okay. God Xin: It’s okay. Dr. Olay: Not okay!]
[Damn, who does he think he is? Our God Xin and the big boss have a love story spanning ten lifetimes. When they were together, this so-called doctor was nothing! How dare he intervene in their publicly funded romance? I’m getting angry!]
[I just want to ask, when will Dr. Olay log off?]
[Just now, God Xin and the big boss, tsk tsk, so enticing, that posture and expression, I believe they did it. I dare not, but I believe!]
[Okay, “Did It.”]
[I almost thought the screen was going to go black, but even if it did, I’d be happy, hehehe.]
[Another high speed train to spring has departed.]
————————————-
Bai Lixin cleared his slightly hoarse throat, stabilized his emotions, then wiped his hands and picked up the blue folder nearby.
A pen hung on the folder; both the pen and the folder were waterproof. Even if they got wet, the writing would remain clear.
Bai Lixin’s cheeks were still a bit flushed. He tugged at his shirt collar, standing somewhat awkwardly by the poolside. “Uh, did you eat enough?”
Once asked, this question made his face blush.
He asked a simple question, but it sounded like he was unsatisfied.
Ah—
He just meant it literally.
———————————–
In the live broadcast room
[Hahaha.]
[God Xin blushes: Did you eat enough?]
[The merman big boss’s eyes light up: Not full, still want to eat.]
[Hahaha, a true sheep in the tiger’s den.]
[God Xin is sometimes adorably naïve.]
————————————
Fortunately, the merman was innocent and didn’t understand humans implied meanings.
He glanced at the wet fish, then quickly nodded earnestly: “Yiya.”
— I’m full now.
“You definitely haven’t eaten enough,” Bai Lixin asserted, “You’re so strong, but you only this little. Actually, I’m a human, and we usually don’t eat raw food like this.”
A fleeting sense of loss crossed the merman’s eyes.
Bai Lixin continued, “But I tasted it just now, and it’s delicious. I really liked it. You can’t waste such delicious fish. I’m supervising you now; you must eat all three fish, or I’ll be upset.”
‘Eat more, get strong, so we can escape from here and return to the sea.’
Under the young man’s stern gaze, the merman nodded and earnestly began eating.
He quickly ate up all three fish, then looked at the young man with expectant eyes.
Bai Lixin smiled again this time, “Good, you must eat in the future too, you can’t skip meals.”
He paused, then continued, “Being well-fed gives you strong muscles, then you can lift me easily, ahem, ahem.”
‘That was a bit cheesy, sorry, got carried away.’
The merman nodded obediently, showing no resistance to the young man’s words.
Dr. Olay behind the monitor had an extremely complicated expression.
Ever since merman No.1 appeared, he often refused to eat, causing them headaches. They had changed to almost all types of food, but merman No.1 either didn’t eat or ate very little.
Originally, merman No.1 had brighter hair and more vivid scales.
It had to be said that he was truly the most perfect. Even with his body lacking nutrition to this extent, he remained so beautiful, surpassing other merfolk by a significant margin.
Even now, he could still recall merman No.1’s appearance when he was just caught.
Robust and handsome, every muscle perfectly sculpted, every scale delicate and flawless. He surpassed even the sun god in mythological stories, no, the sun god might not be as beautiful as merman No.1.
During the few years they had imprisoned merman No.1, he watched the wild merman gradually compromise, saw the light in his eyes disappear, and observed his entire body lose its luster.
However, since meeting the young man, merman No.1 visibly began to regain vitality.
Even though he detested merman No.1 being with that inferior human, he had to admit that, thanks to the arrival of that human, they had the opportunity to see the lively merman No.1 once again.
However, he suspected that once the young man was gone, merman No.1 would probably sink back into desolation.
Even so, he had to drive away the young man.
He couldn’t allow a noble and beautiful merman to be with a worthless human.
Even if merman No.1 was to die, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
He believed that merman No.1’s beauty could be replicated.
As long as he obtained his sperm, with his superb scientific skills, he wouldn’t only get one merman No.1, he could get countless merfolk like him.
Perfect genes should propagate and continue; otherwise, it would be a waste.
Dr. Olay pulled his thoughts back to reality and spoke into the microphone, “Zero, quickly gather data. You don’t have much time left today.”
After he finished speaking, he saw the young man turn around and give the middle finger towards the camera.
Dr. Olay: “…”
Disgusting! It’s really too disgusting!
The merman made a curious “yiya” sound.
Bai Lixin chuckled and explained, “This is a curse. In the future, if you’re annoyed with someone, just show them this gesture. It’s guaranteed to drive them crazy.”
The mermaid’s eyes widened slightly.
‘Oh, got it!’
Dr. Olay in the monitoring room had just cursed Bai Lixin when his eyes fell on the screen again.
His most beautiful merman.
The aristocrat of the ocean, the most elegant merman, actually raised his middle finger at him!
‘Bai Lixin, I’ll kill you right now!
Give me back my naïve and elegant merman, give me back my noble merman!
Ahhhhh.
I’m going to be pissed to death!’
——————————
In the live broadcast room.
[Hahaha, serves him right!]
[I’ve never seen someone raise the middle finger so elegantly. And Dr. Olay getting furious is the best, hmph.]
[If God Xin is determined, his ways of irritating people are really endless, simply invincible.]
——————————–
“All right, come over. You can cooperate with me. I came with work today, I need to collect some data from you.” Bai Lixin paused, tentatively reaching out to scoop up the merman’s hair.
The merman obediently approached the young man, showing no resistance.
He will cooperate obediently. If the young man doesn’t collect data this time, that damned doctor might punish the young man.
He didn’t want the young man to be harmed because of him.
Due to the merman’s great cooperation, the data collection was very quick.
The form had reference values from the last collection three months ago.
From the data, the glossiness of the merman’s skin was better back then.
There was only data from the last time on the form; there was no data from the time before. However, there must be more data on the merman in this lab.
In just three months, the glossiness of the merman had deteriorated so much.
‘Damn, this garbage lab, do you know how wronged my lover has been?!’
For half an hour, Bai Lixin meticulously wrote down all the data on paper.
At the same time, a system prompt rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, player. Progress has been made on Task 2. For specific details, please check the task bar.]
Bai Lixin opened the task bar and quickly found the progress on Task 2.
[Progress: 20%]
It seems helping the lab with data collection can indeed complete the task.
Although Dr. Olay was surprised by Bai Lixin’s efficiency, he didn’t relax after seeing the completion. He immediately asked Bai Lixin to leave the lab.
Before leaving, Bai Lixin took out the plastic mini-flower from his pocket and handed it to the merman. “Here, take it. I made it myself, a gift for you.”
The merman seemed to have no place to hide things on his body. When changing water later, the little flower should be washed away through the drain.
Considering the feasibility, Bai Lixin didn’t say more. He waved his hand, and left the laboratory.
The merman cautiously held the first gift the young man had given him, and happily flipped his tail a few times. Initially, he cradled the flower carefully, afraid it would get wet. After confirming it was a plastic flower and didn’t mind water, he finally relaxed and dived into the water.
Dr. Olay rushed over shortly after Bai Lixin left, holding a blanket. As soon as they met, he stuffed the blanket into Bai Lixin’s arms and brought over a folder. “Look at you, what a mess! Put this on!”
Bai Lixin shrugged and casually draped the blanket over himself.
After snatching the folder, Dr. Olay shifted all his attention from Bai Lixin to the documents. After carefully examining the statistical data, he said with a straight face, “Not bad, you did well.”
Then he changed the subject, “But you shouldn’t get involved with the merman. Do you know how precious his scales are? It’s his protective layer and takes over a month to grow back.”
“I didn’t mean to,” the young man pouted. “We were in a high emotional state at that time. We already showed restraint by not doing anything on the spot. When emotions run high, actions tend to be excessive. Don’t you know? Perhaps you have no experience in this regard? Are you still a virgin?”
Dr. Olay’s cheeks turned crimson.
He couldn’t understand why someone with such good looks would speak so rudely!
His words hit where it hurt, it’s just too much!
The young man continued, “But my performance today was not bad, right? If you hadn’t suddenly spoken and interrupted us, I would’ve successfully collected sperm. It’s all your fault. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you having second thoughts and don’t want to give me the money? I’m telling you, I’m not someone to mess with. Dare to deceive me, and I’ll demolish the entire lab here!”
Dr. Olay’s face turned red and he was quite speechless, like a scholar meeting a soldier.
He raised his voice and interrupted the young man’s increasingly irrelevant speech, “Enough! Do you have tools in your hand to collect? You didn’t even have a container. What were you going to use to collect, your mouth?!”
The young man looked at Dr. Olay with curiosity, “Can’t we use the mouth? It’s not impossible.”
Dr. Olay was almost red to the base of his neck: “…”
‘Is his brain flooded?
This person is a hooligan who can go to any lengths for money. Why am I talking to him? What’s there to discuss with him?’
———————————–
In the live broadcast room.
[Hiss, so strange. “Can use the mouth”? “It’s not impossible”? So weird, I need to think about it again.]
[… Family, don’t pretend to be innocent. You circled the key point so accurately, took out just those two phrases from such a long dialogue; you’re quite something.]
[(w＼), God Xin’s character in this copy is so wild. Is this a rogue character? It’s a bit spicy, but I like it.]
[To make high-IQ talents repulsed and speechless, only the bottom-level blind flow can do it. God Xin really understands human nature thoroughly. At first, I found it strange, why was God Xin doing this? Now I understand, isn’t it just to avenge the big boss? Our God Xin holds grudges, he tolerates being bullied, but not when it comes to his man.]
[Seeing Dr. Olay embarrassed, I’m so happy, hehehe.]
——————————-
Just after returning to his third-floor residence, Bai Lixin received a private message from Xia Chi.
[Brother, I passed the assessment!]
Bai Lixin opened the door: [Congratulations.]
Xia Chi: [Thanks to you, I later told other players the answers too. Not just me, we all passed the assessment.]
Bai Lixin: [No casualties is the best news.]
Xia Chi: [Yes, that’s what I think too. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be working in the lab. If I discover anything, I’ll let you know immediately. Don’t worry! With me around, I’ll make sure you pass smoothly!]
Boosted by Bai Lixin’s encouragement yesterday, his confidence was now sky-high!
The merman paid no attention to the removed scales, continuing to focus on the young man.
It was so fragrant, and it was becoming more and more fragrant; he could soon identify the source of the young man’s enticing aroma.
