When Jinzhu arranged the position of chief advisor for Chi Ruanfan, she was worried that Chi Ruanfan would resist leaving the Marshal's Mansion and would find the job troublesome.
After a few days, he discovered that his wife would never resist leaving the Marshal's Mansion. "She" simply loved the outside world.
In the Marshal's Mansion, Jinzhu, who had just finished dealing with military affairs, opened the terminal and confirmed twice that his wife had not sent him any messages. He then checked the time on the terminal and asked the robot butler who had walked into the study:
"Is the lady back?"
The robot butler placed the dinner on the table in front of Jinzhu and replied meticulously in a neutral electronic voice:
"I haven't received any news of my wife returning home yet."
Since my wife became the chief advisor to the Mermaid Association, she has been to the Association two days out of three, and stayed there for most of the day.
The rest of the day I had to visit various places with the Mermaid Association's staff, and I wouldn't be home for the entire day.
"Madam is busier than me." Jinzhu felt complicated for a moment.
He was happy that his wife could do what she liked and would not be bored at home, but he was also worried that he would have less time to spend with his wife.
After looking at the food on the table, Jinzhu opened the terminal and sent a message to Chi Ruanfan, asking him if he had dinner.
The message came back very quickly, with only three simple words: "used".
Jinzhu stopped chatting, moved the screen aside and prepared to eat.
After this period of experience, he already knew that when his wife only replied to him with two or three words, it meant that she was busy with work.
He didn't want to disturb Mrs.
As for why he left the chat page open, it was probably because he was still looking forward to seeing news from his wife.
Jinzhu picked up the chopsticks. Having been a soldier for more than ten years, he had become accustomed to eating as quickly as possible.
Even after he was promoted all the way to become a marshal, his movements became more graceful, but his speed did not decrease at all.
Soon, Jinzhu's plate was empty.
He looked up at the light screen, and the chat page still showed the previous messages.
"Is Madam still busy?"
Jinzhu's finger touched the light screen, and after hesitating for a long time, he did not enter any message.
His fingers slid across the light screen, Jinzhu was aimlessly swiping the terminal to pass the time.
Arrangements for military affairs, research on new mechas... each piece of content passed by Jinzhu's eyes, but he only paid 10% of his attention to them.
It wasn't until he saw the discussion about the Mermaid Association's top advisor that Jinzhu's eyes widened and he focused his attention.
Some people speculated about the identity of the top advisor in the discussion, some released news photos of the marshal and the merman picking up the host at the airport for comparison, and some praised his appearance, voice and work ability.
Jinzhu watched on with great interest, a smile gradually forming on her face.
When he saw the photo of him and his wife, his eyes unconsciously became much gentler.
Just by looking at it, Jinzhu's expression darkened again.
The mermaid lady is indeed beautiful, but the man has sick legs and may not be able to satisfy her.
That’s why the Lord went out every few days.
Recently, there have been a lot more military officers visiting the Mermaid Association. Anyone with a keen eye knows what's going on.
…
The supernatural energy in Jinzhu's body surged out uncontrollably, and black fog suddenly filled the entire room.
"Marshal," the robot butler's voice rang out in the darkness:
"The body detection system shows that you are in a state of rage. Please adjust in time. Strong negative emotions will deepen the degree of your supernatural riot."
Jinzhu lowered his hands to his knees and gradually clenched his hands.
A clear feeling of pain in his legs woke Jinzhu up and he tried to calm his breathing and stabilize his emotions.
Thanks to his wife's efforts over several months, his legs have regained feeling, and it won't be long before he can stand and walk normally.
If he caused a supernatural riot at this time, not only would Madam's previous efforts be wasted, but Madam would also have to spend more energy on him.
After trying to calm down, Jinzhu said coldly:
"Let the adjutant deal with these things. I don't want similar content to circulate on the Star Network again."
Jinzhu doesn't mind others talking about him, whether they make malicious assumptions about him or insult him wantonly, he doesn't care.
But he couldn't stand the malice towards his wife.
His wife was so perfect, and if anyone dared to have dirty thoughts about her, he would never let that person go.
"I have relayed it to you." said the robot butler.
"Yeah." Jinzhu responded coldly.
"Hey, why is it so dark in the room?"
A clear human voice, whose gender was indistinguishable, reached his ears, and Jinzhu's cold face was instantly soaked as if in warm water, and all the coldness melted away.
"lady."
Jinzhu called out softly, and immediately retracted the black mist produced by the dissipation of supernatural powers. At the same time, he quickly turned off the terminal light screen and controlled the wheelchair to go to the door.
Half-covered.
Besides, Chi Ruanfan was sitting on the mermaid car, his mind highly concentrated, his body muscles slightly tense.
It was not until the doors opened and he met Jinzhu's gaze, which was as full of tenderness and love as ever, that Chi Ruanfan quietly relaxed.
After confirming it, this was still the Jinzhu who wanted to be his partner.
As soon as he came back, he sensed Jinzhu's supernatural energy raging, and he thought Jinzhu had recovered to normal.
Fortunately nothing happened.
Chi Ruanfan restrained himself quickly, but Jinzhu still noticed his momentary tenseness.
"I have frightened the lady again."
Jinzhu held Chi Ruanfan's slightly warm hand, feeling distressed and self-blame.
Wait, madam’s hands are warm
The body temperature of mermaids is lower than that of humans, and they usually feel slightly cool to the touch, so he always accidentally burns his wife.
But now, the lady's body temperature seems to be almost the same as his.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Jinzhu asked anxiously.
Chi Ruanfan was stunned for a moment before replying, "No."
He was just thinking about how to express that he was not scared, but Jinzhu's thoughts were so jumpy that she suddenly changed the topic to something completely irrelevant, leaving him unable to respond.
No
Jinzhu felt the warmth from Huichi Ruanfan's hand, then raised her eyes and looked closely at Huichi Ruanfan's face.
The lady's face seemed to be a little red.
Jinzhu moved closer and smelled a hint of wine.
"Madam, have you been drinking?"
"I had a few drinks at the dinner." Chi Ruanfan did not hide it. After all, the mermaids from the Federation just had a low alcohol tolerance, not that they could not drink.
After drinking, your body temperature rises due to the effect of alcohol.
Jinzhu thought he had found the crux of the problem, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying softly:
"I will accompany my wife back to her room to rest."
"I'm a little sleepy."
Just as Chi Ruanfan was about to control the mermaid car, he felt his body suspended in the air for a moment, and then he fell into a strong embrace.
—He held Jinzhu on his lap.
"You can't drive after drinking. Let me take my wife back." Jinzhu gently embraced Chi Ruanfan, and her earlobes were uncontrollably stained with pink.
"I'm not drunk." Chi Ruanfan said, his eyes sliding across Jinzhu's legs, and then he fell silent.
Even though he deliberately delayed the progress, Jinzhu's legs were gradually recovering.
It won't be long before Jinzhu recovers completely, and by then, it will be difficult to disguise his gender.
Until you come up with a solution, delay it for as long as you can.
Since he is "drunk", he can just skip tonight's treatment without any hesitation, right
Thinking of this, Chi Ruanfan leaned on Jinzhu, and like the mermaids in the Mermaid Association, he put his arms around Jinzhu's neck and acted coquettishly: "I'm so sleepy."
His way of acting coquettishly, which was as simple as three words, was really not very clever, but Jinzhu was stupid and saw him through a love filter.
Before he finished speaking, Jinzhu couldn't wait to bite the hook he threw, and happily sent him back to the room.
Chi Ruanfan was lying when he said he was sleepy before, but when he was carried to the bed by Jinzhu, he actually felt sleepy.
"Good night." Chi Ruanfan kissed Jinzhu on the lips, then released his arms around her neck, rolled around on the bed, found a comfortable position, and closed his mouth.
During this period, Chi Ruanfan was quietly influencing the decision-making of the Mermaid Association.
In order to make the mermaids more influential in the Federation, he started with education in a roundabout way, reducing the courses such as flower arrangement and painting in the mermaid school and increasing the courses such as energy use and physical training.
But such a change is not easy, Chi Ruanfan is often too busy.
Perhaps it was because his work intensity was too high, he always felt tired easily recently.
In a daze, Chi Ruanfan felt Jinzhu kiss his forehead and then lie down beside him.
Chi Ruanfan struggled to keep some clarity of mind.
No matter how good his relationship with Jinzhu appears to be, the other party was once his archenemy, so he has to remain vigilant.
After struggling for three seconds, Chi Ruanfan's consciousness was completely immersed and he fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, Chi Ruanfan unconsciously approached the person next to him.
She put her arms around Jinzhu's waist, squeezed her tail between Jinzhu's knees, and her slightly hot breath fell into Jinzhu's ears.
"Madam? Madam!"
Chi Ruanfan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone calling him something in his ear, with a voice that sounded anxious and panicky.
He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the man not only buzzed in his ears, but also touched his face and forehead, which was very annoying.
Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes with a stinky face and met the eyes of the person in front of him.
He picked up the person in front of him and said:
"Madam, you have a fever. I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"Fever?" Chi Ruanfan took a moment to fully wake up, and he was unable to think about the meaning of Jinzhu's words.
His physical condition is such that he can travel directly into space, so how could he get sick and have a fever
"Stop it, I'm so sleepy."
Chi Ruanfan said this, raising his hand to stroke Jinzhu's head, with a hint of coaxing a partner who was being unreasonable.
Jinzhu didn't bother to use the wheelchair. The black mist surrounded his legs, supporting him to stand and walk.
Although he was extremely anxious, when Chi Ruanfan raised his hand and stroked his head, Jinzhu subconsciously lowered his head and cooperated with Chi Ruanfan's touch.
Because she was in a hurry, she didn't control the angle when she lowered her head, and Jinzhu's face touched Chi Ruanfan's forehead.
The heat was transmitted to each other through the touch of skin, and Chi Ruanfan's hand that was stroking Jinzhu's head paused for a moment.
He slowly withdrew his hand and touched his forehead and face.
This temperature... He seems to have a fever.
No, this is not a fever, it's heat!
Chi Ruanfan's expression suddenly changed.
The only time a mermaid's temperature rises much higher than normal is when she's in a fever.
"How could this happen..." Chi Ruanfan murmured.
His fever period has arrived.
Compared with the previous life, the time is at least half a year earlier.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed, and it was Jinzhu who walked out of the bedroom.
Chi Ruanfan remembered that Jinzhu had just said that she wanted to go to the hospital, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the frame, saying:
“You can’t go to the hospital!”
He used a skirt as a disguise, so his true gender could not be seen from his flesh, but the various examination instruments in the hospital could.
Absolutely no going to the hospital.
Jinzhu stopped and looked at Chi Ruanfan's hand that was pulling the frame, and said:
"Okay, let's not go to the hospital. Let the robot butler check me out first. It has home medical programs installed."
Even though he was extremely anxious, he still followed Chi Ruanfan's wishes.
"No, I'm going back to my room."
What's the difference between a robot butler's checkup and a hospital checkup? Both would expose his disguise.
Chi Ruanfan swung his tail violently, flipped out of Jinzhu's arms, and fell to the ground.
With the gender issue at the forefront, he didn't bother to pretend he couldn't walk on the shore. He put his hands on the frame, swung the tail, and slid into the room.
Then he slammed the door shut and locked it with a click.
"Ma'am, don't be afraid. It's just a checkup. It won't hurt."
Jinzhu, who was locked from the outside, turned the handle several times, but it didn't budge.
His wife was right behind him, and he didn't dare to break in directly. He could only persuade his wife while asking the robot butler to open the door.
In the room, Chi Ruanfan also contacted the robot butler through the terminal and ordered:
"Don't open it."
In the Marshal's Office, his orders were of the same level as Jinzhu's.
When the commands of the two masters conflict, the robot butler cannot execute the instructions of either party.
Jinzhu had excellent hearing, and when she heard Chi Ruanfan's words, she clapped her hands anxiously, "Madam!"
"I'm going to take a shower, don't come in."
Chi Ruanfan said this, then slid straight to the edge of the pool and jumped into it.
The whole body is immersed in cold water.
Isn’t it just the fever period
Just bear with it.
This was the first time that Chi Ruanfan entered a fever period without knowing it.
It's never been like this before.
In the past, he would gradually become irritable before the fever period came.
The change in his mood enabled him to keenly judge that the fever period was about to arrive.
But this time, his mood remained consistent, without anxiety or irritability.
Because... Because Jinzhu is by his side, he can see Jinzhu every day.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Jinzhu's presence did give him a strong sense of security.
To the extent that he even wanted to pull Jinzhu into the water, hug her tightly, and possess her for himself.
After an unknown amount of time, Chi Ruanfan heard the sound of someone falling into the water while floating up and down.
"Hmm?" Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes a little dazedly.
When did my hallucination become so real? Even the sound of someone being dragged into the water was simulated.
Just as he was about to think, an arm came around from behind Chi Ruanfan and came in front of him, and a strong chest pressed against Chi Ruanfan's back.
With a slight exertion of force from that arm, Chi Ruanfan, who was stunned, was pulled out from the bottom of the water.
Without looking back, Chi Ruanfan knew who had rescued him.
Sharing the same bed for several months, even if they didn't do anything physical, was enough for him to remember Jinzhu's body.
"Madam..." Jinzhu's voice trembled.
He knew that mermaids could breathe freely underwater and nothing would happen.
But when he entered the room and saw his wife sinking to the bottom of the water, he still felt panic for no reason.
Chi Ruanfan slowly turned around and met Jinzhu's eyes.
"What are you trying to do to break in?"
Chi Ruanfan's mind was in a state of confusion due to his increasingly severe fever. He just barely remembered that he had asked Jinzhu not to come in.
"I'm worried about Madam."
Jinzhu was soaked in water, and her hair was still dripping with water.
Those black eyes seemed to have been washed with water, clean and clear, with undisguised love for the man before him.
Chi Ruanfan was attracted by the black eyes and came closer. With a push of his hand, he pushed Jinzhu against the edge of the pool.
“I shouldn’t have barged in.” Chi Ruanfan murmured.
When Jinzhu came to him, he knew that all his previous patience was in vain.
Chi Ruanfan lowered his head, buried his head in Jinzhu's shoulders and neck, took a deep breath of Jinzhu's breath, sighed with satisfaction, and said:
"But, it's too late to regret and leave now."
"I don't regret it, and I won't leave. I'll let the robot butler come in and check on me."
Jinzhu paused, his expression gradually becoming more subtle, and he asked as if to confirm:
"Ma'am, what's in your skirt?"
The worst thing is, the lady’s skirt clearly has no pockets, so how could she put things in it
