Until the evening, Jiang Mian's skin was still constantly hot, he kept sweating, and the skin on his ankles was extremely itchy. He had to scratch it every once in a while. Even the ointment did not help. Moreover, he slept too much during the day. At this moment, he couldn't sleep at night, lying on the bed tossing and turning.
After two sips of the cold porridge, he couldn't drink any more. He didn't even get to the core of the bread and put it aside. Jiang Mian couldn't force it in, and felt it was a waste, so he put it in the fresh-keeping room.
Not normal... This is so abnormal.
Others could say that Jiang Mian was blinded by the friendship he had established with the mermaid, but they couldn't say he was a fool. Jiang Mian could fully sense that he was undergoing a certain transformation, which had already occurred since the day before yesterday, or even earlier - from the moment he came into contact with the mermaid, and it was irreversible and irreversible.
The passionate sparks that burst out between him and Lappers; his symptoms of being hot and cold, sometimes as if he were on fire, and sometimes as if he was in an ice cellar; his incomparable affinity for mermaids; the thick and wet fog that ordinary people find difficult to walk through, but he can feel as light and comfortable as a fish in water in it; including now, he has not eaten for a long time, but still does not feel thirsty or hungry.
Also, he and Lapos often had telepathic words and actions; Lapos gave him those careful hints; he learned mermaid language very quickly and could smell a scent on mermaids that no one else could smell; and, from a certain period of time, Lapos never said anything about "humans" in front of him, only about "us".
Jiang Mian never doubted his identity. He was Jiang Pingyang's son. Given Jiang Pingyang's situation and background, how could he adopt a problematic baby and raise him to adulthood
—However, these clues in life stand out beside him with a strong presence, constantly sending out alarms to his sensitive intuition: You are not an ordinary person, there must be something special about you that is difficult to detect.
If I am not ordinary, how come the institute’s twice-yearly physical examinations didn’t find out that I…
Jiang Mian was suddenly stunned.
If you think about it carefully, during the physical examination, with Jiang Pingyang's permission, he basically didn't have to be present in person, and the blood samples used for testing were also handled by his adoptive father himself and never given to anyone else.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Jiang Mian turned over and got out of bed, reaching out to grab his clothes. He had to go—
The faint singing voice floated in from under the door, like smoke and fog, gracefully enveloping Jiang Mian's ears.
Who is singing? Is it Lapers? But how did his voice reach my room? I...
Jiang Mian's mind was wandering, and his eyelids began to feel heavy, drooping above his eyes.
No, I slept for a long time last night, and slept for a long time in Lapers’ arms this afternoon. I was full of energy just now, so I shouldn’t be sleepy so soon. I also want to go... to see my... medical examination records...
The outstretched hand fell down soundly, Jiang Mian fell on his side on the bed, and gradually began to snore softly.
The door slowly opened, and a large amount of water mist poured in along with the arrival of the male mermaid, submerging the room in a thick liquor like a sea of clouds.
Lapers's tail slapped the waves as he carefully squeezed through the door, ducking down to avoid touching the furnishings in the room that were too small for him.
