Louis slowly raised his hand and wiped off the water drops on his face, his expression was hazy: "You..."
Since he became the boss of this group of interstellar pirates, no one has ever dared to treat him like this. Even if he didn't let him touch the fish scales and hit him, Xi Ning deliberately vomited him with water.
Violent thoughts arose in his heart for a moment, and he wanted to pinch Xi Ning's thin neck so hard that he would be more obedient.
Before Louis reached out his hand, he saw Xi Ning snickered while lying on the side of the pool, then sank to the bottom of the water and looked at him through the glass, spitting out a few bubbles.
The anger in his heart was immediately extinguished, and a strange sense of satisfaction emerged. Louis's expression became unnatural, and he turned his head and left the room without saying anything.
Xi Ning poked his head out, saw him closing the door, and asked the system blankly: "Is he angry?"
The system didn't reply, Xi Ning had to leaned against the pool and silently flicked his tail fin.
After Louis went out, he ran into someone in the corridor waiting to change the water for Xi Ning. The subordinates quickly stood up and greeted him, but Louis did not squint or respond, and went on walking with a cold face.
The subordinate whispered: "What's the situation?"
Louis came out of Xi Ning's room. When they knocked on the door just now, they looked okay. Now Louis is obviously not in a good mood, and there are some water marks on his face and collar.
The companion shook his head: "How do I know, let's change the water first."
The two walked towards Xi Ning's room, knocked on the door gently, and prepared to change the water for him.
Louis has already left. Today, most of them have to rely on the two of them to get Xi Ning out and put him in the bathroom, but they all know the rumors outside, and give them ten courageous people who dare not touch Louis's eyes or something else.
Just as his subordinates were embarrassed, Louis came back.
He walked halfway and stopped, as if his body was out of control, he turned back the same way, entered the room and stood in front of the pool, looking down at Xi Ning.
The subordinates stepped aside and waited for him to take Xi Ning out before changing the water. Louis had no expression on his face, reached out his hand to jam Xi Ning's armpit, and lifted him up, holding his waist tightly with one hand.
This posture made the two of them very close. Louis stood still for a while, squinting his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "I can throw you out now and out of the spaceship."
Afraid of falling, Xi Ning stretched out his hand to hook Louis's neck and called him: "Lulu."
His caudal fin was patted on Louis's leg again and again. Louis was silent for a long while, his momentum weakened visible to the naked eye, and his tone softened a lot: "What are you doing?"
Xi Ning leaned on his shoulder and urged in a low voice, "Go take a bath."
Louis thought, this fish must have known it was wrong, and he could forgive him this time.
He hugged Xi Ning and went to the bathroom. The water in the bathtub quickly filled up, but Louis was still squatting beside the bathtub without leaving.
Just now Xi Ning asked if he liked him. Louis really thought about it. He really liked Xi Ning. He liked him at first sight, but there are many kinds of likes. He likes gold and silver treasures, but he also likes them. .
He has always done things casually, and doesn't want to send Xi Ning back to the Federation, so let him stay and talk about the future.
It's just that Xi Ning looks young and simple, what kind of likes does he like in his mouth
Louis stretched his hand into the water and touched the scales on the tail of Xi Ning's fish. The cold and smooth touch made him reluctant to let go, and his fingertips tended to rise slowly.
Xi Ning moved a little, and reached out to push him: "You go out."
His strength didn't exist in front of Louis. Not only did he stay still, he also stretched out his hand to squeeze Xi Ning's cheek.
Slightly rough finger pads across the delicate skin, Xi Ning's face quickly became a slight red mark, Louis almost frowned invisibly, and whispered: "So squeamish..."
Xi Ning held up a handful of water and splashed it on his face. His blue pupils stared at him, and his voice was louder than usual: "I want to take a bath."
Not only was squeamish, but also had a big temper, Louis was not even angry at all. Looking at the red marks on Xi Ning's face, he got up and left the bathroom obediently.
The subordinates outside just finished changing the water and moved the pool in and put them back in place. He looked up and saw Louis leaning peacefully against the wall next to the bathroom door. The clothes in front of him were all wet, and there were drops of water on his face.
Subordinates stammered: "Old, boss, you... What's wrong with you?"
Louis lifted his eyelids and glanced toward the door. The subordinates understood what he meant, shut up and left the room silently.
In the bathroom, Xi Ning was washing her fish tail with the shower head. When she turned sideways, she found a small piece of fish scale in the bathtub.
The scales were only as wide as two fingers, and the tail should have fallen off. Xi Ning suddenly became nervous and placed the scales on the table behind him, holding the caudal fin to see if there was any baldness.
The system comforted: "This is normal. The old ones will only fall when new ones grow out, and the host is about to reach adulthood, and some old fish scales will fall off in the future."
The fish tail looked the same as before. Xi Ning did not find the bald spot. He sighed in relief and knocked on the bathtub to signal that Louis could come in.
Louis opened the door and walked in. His clothes were still wet and did not change. When he reached out his hand to pick up Xi Ning, he suddenly stopped, and looked at the clothes Xi Ning was wearing: "Your shirt seems to have never been changed. Does someone make a new one for you?"
The materials brought back from the Federal spacecraft did not seem to have Xi Ning's clothes. Even if his clothes were made of different materials, he couldn't wear them for so long.
Xi Ning didn't want to change, and shook his head hesitantly. When Louis hugged him, he remembered the scale that had fallen. He turned his head and looked at the scale, but his scale was missing.
"What are you looking for?" Louis followed his gaze and looked at him, without a trace of abnormality on his face. "There is nothing there."
Xi Ning turned his head to look at Louis, and said confidently: "You took it away."
Louis hugged him out and said coldly: "What I took away, I don't care about your things."
He didn't admit it, Xi Ning really believed it a little bit, looked at him suspiciously, and the system said, "I saw it, and he took it away."
He secretly took his scales to do something, Xi Ning snorted and did not speak any more, lying in the pool to take a nap.
Louis squeezed the scales of his hand and returned to his room contentedly. After he left, someone appeared from the corner of the corridor and bowed his head to send a message to Vera in the communicator.
Vera didn't go to the nuclear planet, but went to the black Saturn, which is rich in coal mines. If she listened to Louis's words, she went to the nuclear planet to dig a coal mine, I'm afraid that she won't even want to go back in this life.
After receiving the message, Vera squeezed the communicator's fingertips white, and the corners of her mouth showed a mocking sneer.
She knew that Louis had an abnormal attitude towards the mermaid, and arranged for someone to watch it for her before leaving, and report to her in time.
In just a few days, Louis was almost inseparable from Xi Ning. When she had dug a thousand tons of coal and brought it back, Louis could not see her as a person.
Vera couldn't hide the intense jealousy on her face, she replied a few words to the person who sent the letter and asked him to do something for herself.
Louis went back to the room and turned on the display. After looking at Xi Ning's sleeping face for a while, he found a small drill in the drawer and carefully punched a small hole in the edge of the scale root.
He wanted to string up with a rope and take it on his hand, swearing sovereignty to everyone. Xi Ning is his fish, but the size of the scales is not suitable for his hand. Louis simply used a longer rope and hit it. The knot is worn on the neck.
Xi Ning in the display turned over and seemed to be unable to sleep soundly. The tail of the fish floating calmly in the water flickered a few times, quickly switching between the tail and the human legs, and finally recovered. Like a fishtail, the tail fin gently swings in the water.
Louis didn't see these, he took a mirror and took a picture, and touched the scales of the fish with satisfaction.
He looked at it for a while and felt that something was wrong. He used the scales that Xi Ning had fallen off to make decorations. Didn't he mean what he thought
Louis tucked the scales into his neckline and covered it with his clothes, deciding whether to leave it alone for appreciation.
Xi Ning, who was sleeping on the other side, suddenly felt a chill. He opened his eyes and exposed the water, leaning against the edge of the pool and feeling the cold fish tail in a daze.
He seemed to dream that he had changed back to a human being. Although he had been in the water for so long, he had basically adapted to the fishtail, but this shape was really inconvenient. He hadn't even gone out of this room.
The system also discovered the abnormality of Xi Ning's body just now, and after examining him, he said: "The hormone data in the host's body is a bit abnormal. It should be because of the imminent adulthood, and it has now recovered."
"Is it possible to turn back into a human being as an adult?" Xi Ning paddled the water in all sorts of rogues. If he returned to the Federation for missions, he would still look like this. Wouldn't it be basically a useless person, "I don't have any self-protection ability... "
"Yes," the system seemed to think of something, with a slightly awkward tone: "The singing of the mermaid tribe has the ability to charm, and it can be used as a weapon when necessary, but..."
It's just that Xi Ning suffers from aphasia, except when Louis is there, he can't make a sound at all, let alone rap.
Xi Ning couldn't help sighing. He sat up a bit and wanted to reach out to take the apple on the table. One of them accidentally didn't hold it firmly, and the apple fell to the ground and rolled to the other side.
There were no more apples on the table, so he had to give up, retract his hands and lie down in the water again.
Before long, the door was opened from the outside, and it turned out to be Louis again.
Strictly speaking, it was the third time that he came here today. Louis picked up the apple that had fallen on the ground and rinsed it. He came back and held it in his hand and shook it: "Want to eat?"
Xi Ning was very puzzled. Instead of reaching out to pick up the apple, he lay down on the side of the pool and asked, "Why are you... here again?"
When Louis heard this, he lowered his face, tilted his head and took a bite on the apple, and said, "Don't want to see me?"
Xi Ning didn't say a word, he just thought it was a coincidence that Louis came over at this time, as if he had come here specifically because he knew he wanted to eat an apple but fell to the ground.
Louis handed the bitten apple to Xi Ning's mouth, facing him with the intact one: "Can you eat it?"
He bit them all and gave them to herself. Xi Ning was stunned for a few seconds, and said angrily: "Don't eat!"
He sank to the bottom of the water and turned his back to Louis, the fish tail patted the water, and the splash from the tail fin flew in exactly the direction of Louis.
Louis quickly got up and avoided, with a cold voice: "You have the worst temper in the entire spaceship. Do you still remember who you are?"
Xi Ning was sulking at the inside of the pool. He wanted to eat an apple and couldn't get it. Louis even took a bite to tease him.
He heard Louis come closer, and then a hand lightly touched his fish tail, Xi Ning patted that hand away without looking back.
The room was very quiet. After a while, Louis' footsteps walked outside, and there was the sound of the door being closed.
Xi Ning got up and saw that he was really gone.
Now that he left, forget it, Xi Ning pursed his lips and returned to the water, clutching his clothes in a daze.
It didn't take long for Louis's footsteps to return, and Xi Ning quickly turned over and returned to the posture he had when he went out, showing that he was still angry.
Louis remained silent, and moved a chair over to sit by the pool. Xi Ning heard some faint movements, as if something was rubbing.
He couldn't help but took a peek at him, and Louis turned his head down and was peeling apples. There was a trash can beside him, and the peeled skin was thrown in.
Xi Ning slowly came out of the water and leaned on the side of the pool to watch him. Louis quickly cut the apple, took it in his hand and cut it in half, then cut a long strip with a knife, and took a piece of it to Xi Ning’s mouth. side.
Louis raised his eyebrows: "Eat?"
Xi Ning took a bite with his hand and quickly finished one piece, and Louis took another piece and fed him.
Until Xi Ning finished eating a whole apple, Louis threw away the apple core, went to the bathroom to wash his hands and returned to put the fruit knife.
He still looked cold, bent over and propped up on his knees close to Xi Ning, half-casting his eyes: "Happy?"
In Xi Ning's eyes, he looked like a large pet asking for praise. Xi Ning stretched out his fingertips and touched his side face: "Thank you Lulu."
Louis's apple was rolling up and down, and he even had the urge to rub Xi Ning's cold palm.
He stretched out his hand to squeeze Xi Ning's wrist, and took this opportunity to stroke his fair and smooth skin openly, but Xi Ning quickly drew back and whispered two words: "Rogue."
The pronunciation of this word was not very clear, nor did he have much strength. On the contrary, it sounded like acting like a baby at him.
Louis directly ignored Xi Ning's real meaning, just as he said thank you again, and got up contentedly: "Take a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow."
After he left, Xi Ning looked around the room and asked the system: "Do you think there will be surveillance or something in this room?"
And the time he ran out of the pool, Louis happened to appear, if it was all coincidence, it would be a coincidence.
The system is ashamed, it cannot detect the surrounding electronic equipment, and the original book does not describe too much about Cyril's days in the pirate spacecraft, nor does it write whether Louis has a voyeuristic habit.
It couldn't be said, so Xi Ning stopped asking about it. He looked for a chance to try and test it another day, just by looking at Louis's reaction.
Day and night on the spacecraft, only the lamps will dim at a specific time, which represents the night. Xi Ning relies on this to sleep on time every day and strive to maintain a normal schedule.
After he was asleep that day, the two guards at the door were taken away. It didn't take long for someone to help a drunk come to the door quietly, and said in a low voice: "A beautiful girl is arranged for you, and I will wait inside. What about you, go now."
This is Vera's arrangement. Xi Ning is still a hostage now. She dare not directly kill Xi Ning or ruin his beautiful face. She can only find a way to make Louis hate him.
She deliberately found a lecherous and drunken pirate, who was drunk and took it to Xi Ning's room, and told Louis to look over it after a while.
It doesn't matter if Xi Ning is a mermaid, man? Under such circumstances, he can do anything. Afterwards, he can only say that he was drunk and went to the wrong room. No one would notice.
Vera's people hurried away when they took the person. The drunken pirate bent over to find the doorknob and opened the door.
The sight in the house was a little dark. The pirates touched the wall for a long time and didn't find the light switch, so they just walked toward the bed.
He smirked and groped while lying on the bed, constantly muttering: "Pretty girl... pretty girl..."
Xi Ning was awakened by the sound. He sat up in the water and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. A stranger was still in his room and didn't know what he was doing.
He looked out the door anxiously, the room was closed tightly, and there was no sound outside.
The pirate couldn't touch anyone on the bed. He turned his head and saw Xi Ning in the pool when he heard the sound of splashes. His eyes were straight: "Pretty... so beautiful!"
He staggered to the side of the pool and stretched out his hand to get Xi Ning out. Xi Ning hurriedly grabbed something on the table and threw it at him, but it was not lethal.
The pirate smiled: "This character, I like..."
He even started to untie his belt as he said, he was not sober after drinking, Xi Ning exhausted all his energy to get out of the pool, lying on the ground and moving towards the bed.
The pirate was dazzled by the scales on his fish's tail, and when he realized that Xi Ning had come out by himself, he wanted to catch him, but he tripped on his broken pants and fell to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a fish's tail. He slapped it hard and hit the wall of the pool with a muffled noise.
He was stunned by the bump, and he held his head to look at the place he had just looked at. Where is Xi Ning's figure
"Where's the person... Where is my beautiful girl?" The pirate wine hadn't woken up yet, and he had been searching the house alone for a long time without success. He opened the door of the room and just saw the guard who came back.
The two guards were held back by people for various reasons. They were only allowed to come back when it was almost time. When they saw someone else coming out of Xi Ning's room disheveled, they almost had a cardiac arrest.
They looked around the room and didn't see Xi Ning. One of them had already gone to find Louis, and the other was clutching the pirate collar and whispered: "Why are you here, what did you do?"
It was their negligence. Before Louis came, he dared not say anything, covering the pirate's mouth and dragging him into the corridor.
The pirate pulled him away dissatisfied, and unbuttoned his coat: "Go away, don't stop me from looking for a pretty girl..."
He heard someone coming in the hallway, and turned his head to look, just to meet Louis's green face.
The pirate immediately became sober and knelt down with a "plop": "Old, boss..."
Louis didn't want to worry about him for the time being, and quickly stepped into the room to turn on the light. There were a lot of things scattered on the ground, and the pool was empty, Xi Ning disappeared.
He opened the bathroom door, Xi Ning was not there either.
There was killing intent in Louis's eyes, and he was about to turn around to go outside when he heard some faint movements under the bed.
He looked down, and there was a faint trace on the ground sliding to the bottom of the bed. He opened the bed sheet and saw Xi Ning hiding underneath.
Xi Ning lay on the bottom of the bed and saw him yelling aggrievedly: "Lulu..."
Louis hurriedly took him out, a bit dirty under the bed, Xi Ning was covered with a lot of dust all over her body, her eyes were misty, and she clasped Louis's neck in shock.
"It's okay?" Louis stroked Xi Ning's side face painfully, and carefully checked his whole body. Except for the gray on his body, only a few traces of scratches on the palm of his hand, no other places were injured, and he was relieved.
Xi Ning felt relieved by leaning against Louis. Louis sat on the ground and hugged him for a while, stood up and led him into the bathroom, and placed him gently in the bathtub.
Louis turned on the faucet and asked Xi Ning to wash himself first: "I'll be back soon."
Xi Ning nodded, and when he went out, he took off his shirt and washed his clothes and the ashes on his body. It didn't take long for him to hear a few screams outside.
Louis stepped on the drunken pirate's arms, looked at the pained look on his face blankly, and said lightly: "Put out his eyes."
The sound awakened the people around, one after another, someone came to look over, and the guard tremblingly took the dagger to finish his eyes, for fear that it would be his turn next.
Louis waved his hand to take away the pirate on the ground with his eyeballs, leaning against the wall and said casually: "Where did you go tonight? Who told you to leave here?"
Xi Ning inside the house put on her clothes again after washing, put a jar of clean water soaked, and Louis came to knock on the door: "Alright?"
Hearing the sound of knocking on the bathtub, Louis opened the door and entered. He also changed his clothes. Xi Ning still keenly smelled a trace of blood, but Louis hugged him out and walked outside the house.
There were many people in the corridor quietly watching them, Xi Ning buried his face between Louis's neck and asked, "Where are you going?"
Louis took Xi Ning directly back to his own room. The pool had been moved back. He put Xi Ning into the water and touched his hair: "You will live with me in the future."
Xi Ning was stunned for a moment. He looked around the room, and Louis twitched his lips: "Don't be afraid, no one will dare to do anything to you."
Thinking of what happened in the evening, Louis lowered his face again. The two guards were not there. It is no accident that the drunken pirate would go to Xi Ning’s room, waiting for him to find out who was doing the trick...
When Xi Ning looked at him, Louis' expression immediately eased a lot, and he calmed down: "Go to sleep."
"Lulu," Xi Ning grabbed his cuff, "Are you sleeping here too?"
Louis pointed to the bed next to it: "Where I sleep."
He looked at Xi Ning's fishtail and touched it: "If you can get out of the water, you can sleep with me."
Xi Ning patted his hand away, slowly sinking to the bottom, and whispered, "Don't use your hands or feet."
The last few words turned into bubbles in the water, Louis smiled, and when he lay down steadily, he went to turn off the light in the room and went back to the bed to get ready to sleep.
Xi Ning was at the most sleepy time, even because of such a disturbance at night, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
At midnight, the system noticed that the hormones in Xi Ning's body began to fluctuate again and again.
Probably because he was frightened at night, the hormones became more unstable, the fish tail flickered in the water, and finally stabilized on his legs.
The system hurriedly called Xi Ning: "Host! Host wake up!"
In the half-dream and half-awake period, Xi Ning felt the biting cold and inexplicable suffocation. The voice of the system gradually became louder in his mind. Xi Ning suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly sat up from the water.
He never felt cold in the water when he was in the animal state, but now he was shivering with the cold. When he curled up, he touched his legs, and the system tone was happy: "The host is back in human form, so you don’t need to stay in the water. Up."
The pool was placed in the corner, Xi Ning stood up by the wall and shouted, "Louis?"
He didn't walk across the road with his legs for a long time, tried to step out of the pool and step on the floor, shaking and almost fell.
Xi Ning held on to the wall to stabilize his figure, and moved towards the bed little by little.
Lu Yi felt shallow, awakened by the movement in the room, and sat up in the weak light to see Xi Ning leaping towards him.
He stretched out his hand to hug Xi Ning, frowned and said, "How come out..."
The sound jammed halfway, and Louis touched the skin on Xi Ning's legs. He looked down and found that Xi Ning's fish tails had disappeared, leaving only smooth and slender legs.
