Is this what nesting feels like
Jiang Mian sniffed, his ankles were no longer itchy, and the heat and boredom just now were gone like an old dream. He lay in Lappers' arms, and it felt like he was lying in his childhood cradle, safe and comfortable. Apart from breathing and blinking, he didn't have to think about anything or worry about anything.
He felt incomparably comfortable and relaxed, as if something was growing deep in his bones and blood, closely connected to the male merman.
Compared to Jiang Mian, Lapers's perception of soul ties is more delicate. Their relationship is becoming closer, like a beautiful chord added to a lonely echo. The resonance ripples that Jiang Mian aroused in his heart almost made Lapers feel dizzy with satisfaction. Although this is only the first hot period they have spent together, his heart is already beating violently for Jiang Mian, and his blood is also flowing violently for Jiang Mian.
"That's the bond of soulmates." Rapos seemed to know every thought in his mind and whispered in his ear, "Every time you go through the hot period, it will become stronger and stronger."
Jiang Mian was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was so mean to you just now. I don't know what happened to me."
Lapers took the opportunity to rub Jiang Mian's face again, and his long hair spread out like an airtight net, surrounding him from all directions, encircling his only prey in this life.
"It's okay," he whispered, "It's normal to be upset during a heat wave. You're much gentler than other mermen during a heat wave."
Jiang Mian asked: "I heard you call me Maomao before... Why did you call me that?"
"Because your voice sounds like Maomao," Lapers looked at him without blinking, "Sea hare, have you ever seen a sea hare? Maomao, I called you that in my heart the first time I saw you."
He said bluntly: "You are like a pearl, so I also call you Pearl, little Pearl."
Jiang Mian blushed. He was stuttering and couldn't speak. Lapers hugged him and shook him, saying, "Don't be sad, Maomao, you have me. When the first time is over, I will take you back to the Sea Country."
"There are schools of fish, tribesmen, shipwrecks, and treasures... Do you like treasure hunting? I think all humans like treasure hunting. When the time comes, I will take you to the shipwreck site below the royal court. We can also go to other mermaid territories, to the Tidal Library, and explore any corner of the world..." The male mermaid muttered, pressing his nose into Jiang Mian's neck and closing his eyes, "I hope you will never be sad again."
Jiang Mian's nose felt sore, and he said in a hoarse voice: "He lied to me."
Although he did not explicitly say who this "he" was, Lapers knew that Jiang Mian must be talking about his adoptive father, the male Lu Min named Jiang Pingyang.
"He said he picked me up from the beach," Jiang Mian said, "He said the water quality at the institute was not suitable for my body type, and that raw fish contained substances that I was allergic to... He only asked me to comfort Ms. Hong, and let me see and hear the scenes and sounds of her daily torture..."
His voice trembled, and his whole body began to shiver. "He knew who I was and where I came from, so why did he do this? If the first two things can be considered as protecting me, then the last thing was that he allowed Fabian's proposal to be passed against Ms. Hong, and then watched me suffer!"
