The merman’s raised hand suddenly paused, he stared blankly at the human across from him.
—He seems angry.
—Why does the angry expression look so cute?
—I really want to hold him and give him a little rub.
Bai Lixin felt that his plan had worked, so he sat in the water, placed the plate on his lap, and patted the pool beside him. The merman obediently imitated his posture and sat down.
Several people in the monitoring room were dumbfounded.
Dr. Camila: “This is actually the ferocious merman?”
Dr. Olay’s expression was extremely complex. “I was also very surprised the first time I saw it.”
Dr. Camila: “Now that the merman looks like this, what’s the difference from humans? Can he really speak?”
Dr. Olay: “Haven’t I shown you the surveillance? Why don’t you believe it?”
Dr. Camila: “Tsk tsk tsk, love can actually make a merman lost like this. I never expected that merfolk are love brains. Could they have already… done it?”
Dr. Olay’s hair stood on end, “How is that possible? I’ve been watching the surveillance all the time.”
Dr. Camila: “Tsk tsk tsk, you’re like a parent worried that his daughter gave herself to a pig. But if something really happens, the merman won’t lose out.”
“Dijia,” the merman’s voice came through the loudspeaker again. After several practice sessions, the merman could now speak in clear and proper language.
Dr. Camila: “Look, you’ve researched the merman No. 1 for several years and never found he could speak. This human has been with the merman for such a short time, but had already made him speak.”
“He can save us a lot of time.”
“You also know we don’t have much time left. We need to find the merfolk’s faith as soon as possible.”
“Humans who only have their interests in mind are the easiest to control. Just give him a little tasty bait, and he’ll become your puppet.”
“You should have noticed, merman no. 1 is different.”
“It’s just selling the body, your merman no. 1 won’t lose a piece of flesh. Give him some sweeteners.”
“Maybe after the merman enjoys himself, he will become even more infatuated with that human.”
“Since he’s a love brain, make good use of this love brain. That human is the bait, use him to force the merman no. 1 to reveal what we want.”
“When we find the merfolk’s faith, will you still be afraid there won’t be more merfolk like merman no. 1?”
Dr. Olay looked at the screen with a complicated expression, observing the human and merman that were clinging to each other.
———–
The merman shouted, “Dijia,” pointed at himself, and then pointed at Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin: “Are you asking for my name?”
The merman quickly nodded.
After a moment of thought, Bai Lixin brought the merman’s hand to his face.
The merman’s palm was large. His two hands seemed just enough for one of the merman’s hands.
After opening the merman’s palm, Bai Lixin placed his index finger on the merman’s palm and wrote several symbols. “Try to remember this.”
The merman had an extraordinary memory. Although he didn’t know what symbols Bai Lixin wrote on his hand, he still nodded.
“Good,” Bai Lixin stood up, ready to get the folder. “You should study well. Once you’ve studied well, you’ll understand.”
His clothes were soaked due to the water. The folder was outside the swimming pool, so he had to walk out to get it.
The merman stared fixedly at Bai Lixin as the young man stretched his waist and stepped out of the swimming pool.
The water made the young man’s clothes stick tightly to his skin, outlining the beautiful curves.
Bai Lixin took the folder and the recording pen into his hand and returned to the merman’s side under his gaze.
Facing the merman’s eager eyes, Bai Lixin spoke slowly, “Eat first, and after you finish, I’ll teach you.”
Although he didn’t know what the young man wanted to teach, the merman obediently picked up the fish and began eating attentively.
Perhaps due to impatience, the merman ate quickly this time. However, even so, his eating movements remained as graceful as ever.
While he chewed, Bai Lixin silently observed the merman’s teeth.
They were smooth and orderly, unlike other merfolk.
Bai Lixin subconsciously inserted his fingers.
Just as the merman swallowed a piece of fish and was about to eat another, he suddenly felt something soft in his mouth. He instinctively closed his teeth, and was halfway through the bite when he realized it was Bai Lixin’s finger.
Startled, he changed from biting to sucking.
The young man’s fingers covered in water droplets were hidden in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue seemed to trace the shape of the fingers.
Bai Lixin was stunned for a moment, and saw the merman looking at him with a bewildered expression while still sucking on his finger.
“Open your mouth a bit,” Bai Lixin smiled, coaxing the merman in a systematic manner, “Ah, like this.”
The merman reluctantly opened his mouth, revealing a healthy oral cavity. “Ah.”
The fair fingertip gently brushed across the merman’s teeth, and Bai Lixin asked while touching, “Were your teeth originally like this, or were they ground this way by someone?”
Afraid of biting the young man, the merman dared not speak but only looked at Bai Lixin with clear eyes.
After a moment, Bai Lixin finally took his hand away from the merman’s teeth and asked again, “Were your teeth polished to look like this?”
The merman paused, then shook his head.
Bai Lixin breathed a sigh of relief.
Great. Although he didn’t know why Dijia’s teeth were different from other merfolk, at least he hadn’t suffered the imagined harm.
“Is it possible that some merfolk have neat and orderly teeth like you, while others have sharp serrated teeth?”
Bai Lixin threw out another question.
Dijia nodded again.
“Why is it like this? Are there different groups? Are you and the merfolk with sharp teeth different species?”
Dijia nodded and added a word this time, “Yes.”
Dr. Camila looked at the screen impatiently. “We knew about this discovery a long time ago. Can’t he ask for some useful information for us?”
Dr. Olay: “Like?”
Dr. Camila: “For example, what is the merfolk’s faith, where is it, and what secrets and powers does the merfolk’s faith have?”
Dr. Olay rolled his eyes. “The merfolk’s faith is taboo for them. Even if he likes this young man, he won’t tell him.”
Dr. Camila: “You won’t know unless you try. Why not give it a shot? Trying won’t cost you a leg.”
Dr. Olay: “…”
The merman’s raised hand suddenly paused, he stared blankly at the human across from him.
—He seems angry.
—Why does the angry expression look so cute?
—I really want to hold him and give him a little rub.
