Jiang Mian's brain was boiling. He anxiously pulled at his wet pajamas and could hardly breathe.
"Why did you hide this from me?" His throat seemed to be on fire. The fire was so fierce that he could not resist at all. "You said I was a liar, but you..."
He recalled Lappers' hesitation and ambiguous answers. He was sweating profusely, and water droplets stuck his eyelashes into clumps, and his hair was wet and stuck to his face.
He didn't have Lapers's exaggeratedly sensitive sense of smell, but at this moment, Jiang Mian could faintly smell a strange sweet fragrance, swirling and brewing under his hot skin.
He was extremely anxious and just wanted to get rid of this unbearable feeling. Jiang Mian said to Lapers without thinking: "You lied to me, isn't it more?"
The male mermaid arched his back in injury and recoiled backward, as if he had been hit hard on the head.
The scent of the heat wave was already quite strong, pouring hot on his olfactory sac, almost melting his nasal cavity. Rapos closed his eyes and took a long, trembling breath.
Mermaids can easily tell whether a person is happy or sad, honest or not, this is the simplest talent. People's sweat and body movements will betray their true thoughts, whether it is the speed of their heartbeat, the rise and fall of body temperature, or the speed of their breathing... Rapos can understand any living thing he wants to understand, but there is only one person whose reaction will make him feel like he is facing a formidable enemy and extremely nervous.
That person is Jiang Mian.
"I didn't mean to lie to you," the mermaid carefully rolled up his tail and shrank his huge body. Although his instincts were roaring at him desperately, how uncomfortable his partner was at the moment and how much he needed care, the urge to build a nest almost made him collapse, "but your situation is, very dangerous."
He tried his best to release a soothing and calming aura, and explained to Jiang Mian: "You were raised by humans, and you firmly believe that you are a human. If I rashly tell you my true identity, your mind will be confused, and you will..."
"What else?!" Jiang Mian interrupted him angrily while tearing off his annoying pajamas, "What else are you hiding from me? Tell me, tell me everything!"
The pajamas were soaked with sweat and water mist, making them even harder to take off than when they were dry. Jiang Mian's bones and legs were weak, his hands and feet were hot and numb, and he struggled for a long time but couldn't get rid of the shackles. His tone was filled with angry tears.
Lapers couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to pick him up and comfort him at this time, so he quietly reached out and tore a gap from behind for Jiang Mian.
"My soul mate..." Rapos hesitated, "It's you."
Jiang Mian pulled off his soaked pajamas and slapped Lapers on the back of his hand several times, not allowing him to get close to him. He was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling: "Then what's wrong with me?"
"Your hot period is coming." Oops, Lapers quickly retracted his hand pitifully, "You have postponed it for too long, and it has been accumulating in your body for too long. The encounter with me quickly triggered it. So when we touch, it feels like an electric shock and burning."
"That… "
"You need food, a nest, and a safe environment." Jiang Mian had just started talking when Lapers immediately responded, looking at him with a look of praise, "Don't worry... No one can hurt you anymore."
