I Picked Up a Merman

Chapter 4: Modeling courses

Views:

Mermaids have to pay a price to become human.

Drinking the potion prepared by the witches and mothers, although temporarily transformed into a human form, but every three days, the body must be soaked in the water for several hours, otherwise the delicate skin of the mermaid will easily become dry; On the night of the next full moon, Nolan would feel pain all over his body, as if being cut by a razor blade. Only a kiss from his beloved could temporarily relieve the pain.

Within three months, if Nolan could not get the kiss of his beloved, he would turn into bubbles and disappear into the world. And in order to stay with the one he loves forever, he must plant the mermaid mark on that person within three months.

Nolan let out a long and comfortable breath, and completely submerged the lower body that had turned back into a fishtail into the bathtub. His face was flushed red by the warm steam, and he rested his chin on the edge of the bathtub and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

The lake-blue gradient scales on the fish's tail glistened after being soaked in warm water. Nolan pushed away the foam of bath salt on the water surface, and cleaned his tail with a sponge little by little.

"Sure enough, I'm still comfortable being a fish." Nolan shook his head and hummed a little tune, happily beating the beat with his tail, feeling a moment of relaxation.

It is really hard to become a human being. You have to be exposed to the sun, the air is extremely dry out of the water, and you have to walk upright on two legs. It is simply torture, but it is more comfortable to stay in the sea. But there is no Chu Muyu in the sea, and this person he has been thinking about for five years cannot become a mermaid, and there is no way to dive into the bottom of the sea like him.

Nolan took out the conch that he had secretly brought into the bathroom from his undressed clothes, shook it for a while, put his ear close to the conch, and asked in a low voice, "Are you there?"

The conch shook slightly, and the sound of waves came from it, and after a while, an ethereal and cold male voice sounded from the conch.

"Nolan? Have you reached shore yet?"

Nolan said happily, "I've already arrived on shore, and I'm at home in Chumuyu now."

The familiar voice was silent for a moment, and asked, "Did he recognize you?"

The corners of Nolan's mouth drooped instantly, and he said dejectedly, "No, he said he was injured five years ago while surfing, and he forgot everything about me."

"How did that happen."

"Hey, it seems that he was really injured that time. He passed out when I brought him ashore from the sea." Nolan recalled that Chu Muyu was dying, and couldn't help feeling distressed. Said, "It would be great if I could find him sinking into the sea sooner."

The male voice comforted him: "That's not your fault. It's difficult to perceive things on the sea floor at the bottom of the sea. He has completely forgotten about you. Do you...do you want to continue?"

"Go on." Nolan said decisively, "Noah, you don't know how good he is, he is the most gentle person I have ever met."

It is as gentle as the sunlight refracted through the water waves, sleeping in the ripples like a sparkling gem, which made the little mermaid think about it for many years, longing to drag it into its nest and treasure it.

Noah had nothing to do with this one-sided twin brother, he could only exhort softly, "If you don't get his kiss on the first full moon night, don't insist on it anymore, I don't want to see you like that It hurts, and I don't want you to turn into a bubble. Do you know?"

"Yeah." Nolan agreed, but didn't dare to make any promises.

Mermaids only identify with one partner in their life, and it is really difficult to give up if they say give up.

After soaking in the bath for almost an hour, Nolan changed into the newly bought home clothes, tied his long half-wet hair into a bun and walked out of the bathroom.

Chu Muyu was processing documents in the study, when he heard Nolan's footsteps, Chu Muyu rubbed his eyebrows and called to Nolan,

"You sleep in the second room on the left, and I've made the bed for you."

Nolan poked his head out from the door of the study, and asked Chu Muyu with concern, "It's so late, are you still awake?"

"There is a lot of work, and it must be finished." Chu Muyu was tired of being asked by Nolan, and couldn't help yawning.

After thinking about it, Nolan went into the kitchen and took out the milk from the refrigerator. According to the tutorial on the mobile phone, he warmed a cup of milk for Chu Muyu in a small saucepan, and delivered it to Chu Muyu's table.

"Don't stay up too late."

After Nolan put down the milk, he felt a little shy about his actions, and didn't dare to see Chu Muyu's reaction, so he went into the room to sleep without looking back.

Chu Muyu touched the warm wall of the cup, and a strange warmth poured into his heart along his fingertips. This inexplicable sticky feeling made him a little at a loss, but he was not annoying.

Even, it doesn't feel bad.

Wrapped in a quilt full of the smell of Chumuyu, Nolan fell asleep until daylight, and when he came out of the room empty-handed, the room was empty, only a note was placed on the dining table.

[There is breakfast on the table, after eating, go to the company to report. —Chu Muyu]

Next to the note was a glass of milk, a bowl of vegetable salad without dressing, and a slice of toast. The portion is not much and it tastes like chewing gum. After Nolan Hai, who was used to eating meat, stuffed two mouthfuls of salad into his mouth, his chewing speed slowed down a little bit. In the end, he simply stopped and stared blankly at the bowl of green vegetables.

It doesn't have any delicious taste, and even has a bit of astringent taste of leaves. When I swallow it, I feel like an old scalper eating grass.

It's too hard to swallow, even if it's a loving breakfast prepared by your sweetheart, for carnivores, it's no different from sex.

When Nolan frowned and was about to secretly dispose of the bowl of vegetable salad, he saw another note stuck to the bottom of the bowl.

[Don’t pour it out secretly, you must start with diet control if you want to be a model]

Are you a devil? ? ? Nolan paused his hands in mid-air, wondering if it was too late to destroy the contract now.

Entering the Mushi Entertainment Building again, the employee girl who was in charge of leading Nolan into the job was at the door early, and when she saw Nolan stopped and looked around, she waved to Nolan vigorously.

"Here, here~" the employee girl greeted Nolan warmly, and introduced herself to him, "My name is An Qi, and I will be in charge of your course arrangements from today on."

"Hi, my name is Nolan." Nolan nodded politely to her. Standing next to Angie, who was 1.96 meters tall, she was a whole lot taller.

Angie raised her head and gave him a friendly smile, and led Nolan to go through the relevant procedures, and introduced him to various internal situations of the company along the way. When they arrived at the training room, what was waiting for Nolan was A series of required courses to become a model.

"Considering that you are an amateur, Brother Chu asked me to arrange too many courses for you." An Qi said shyly.

Nolan, who didn't know anything about what was coming, took the course schedule in a daze, only to see that there were two full pages of unfamiliar words on the paper.

Bodybuilding training.

Step training.

Practice in front of the camera.

Fashion information & etiquette learning.

Personal image management.

Two hours later.

Nolan was lying on the ground in training clothes with a painful expression on his face. Kong Wu's powerful female coach pinned his legs, his pretty face was pressed to the ground, and his facial features were contorted and twitching. He was like a shrimp being forcibly stretched, struggling to die.

"It hurts..." Nolan's long legs were forced to straighten, and the process of muscle opening made him miserable.

The female coach sat directly on his lap, pressed her knee against his leg socket, and said repeatedly, "The muscles are beautiful, but it's a pity that the flexibility is too poor."

What a hell experience, does anyone really want to be a model? Nolan felt so painful that tears were about to come out of his eyes.

After persisting for two minutes, fine beads of sweat oozed from Nolan's forehead, and his hair hanging down wetly stuck to the side of his face. Nolan asked the coach painfully, "Do you have to do this?"

"Of course, if you think about it, the body is not flexible, not to mention the poor posture during the catwalk, even if you want to change a few more postures on the bed."

"...!!!"

After a whole day, Nolan was exhausted after only taking two courses, and the work meal Angie prepared for him during the lunch break was even more shabby than the one in the morning. So much so that when Chu Muyu came to pick him up, what he saw was a long-legged salted fish that was dying and unable to move.

Seeing Chu Muyu, the defense in Nolan's heart suddenly burst, and the pain swept through his body for a moment, and he couldn't get better anywhere. He whimpered and said, "Muyu, I want to go home."

"How do you feel?" Chu Muyu raised the corners of his mouth and patted his head like teasing a puppy.

"These courses are so hard." Nolan looked at him aggrievedly, with watery light flowing in his translucent pupils, he raised his feet to show Chu Muyu, "Look, I'm injured. "

Chu Muyu lowered his head, only to see two semi-transparent blisters on Nolan's pink and round toes, looking very pitiful.

"Can you hold on?" Chu Muyu asked him.

"Hmm... Do I have to learn this to become a model?" Nolan whispered tentatively.

Chu Muyu gently blew on his toes, looked at him tenderly and said:

"Of course, people who don't study hard and can't make money for me in the future are not qualified to live in my house and wear the clothes I bought."

"... I, I will work hard!"

Since Nolan has not officially debuted, there is no work arrangement for him to do. Chu Muyu can only put him in the company for training during the day and pick him up at night. Occasionally, he will inform Nolan in advance when he has a lot of work. He drove home by himself.

There are nearly ten models signed by Chu Muyu, big and small brands. Although he doesn't have to accompany every model to interview for brands and announcements, he still has to be present for some important events. In addition, all job invitations and signing contracts of all models must be reviewed by him personally. After accumulating a lot of work, Chu Muyu was very busy from time to time.

Except that Chu Muyu came to pick him up from get out of class on the first day, for three days in a row Chu Muyu just sent him a WeChat message to let him go home by himself, and also told him to eat healthy meals and eat less meat and high-calorie foods.

It was almost late at night when Chu Muyu got home, and Nolan would always insist on waiting in the living room for him to come home. Sometimes when he couldn't bear the turbulent drowsiness, Nolan would consciously go back to sleep.

It's just that before going to bed, Nolan will still prepare a cup of warm milk for Chu Muyu.

Two people who live under the same roof sometimes can't even speak properly.

After getting used to the current life style, Nolan slowly learned to integrate himself into human society.

It’s just that he sometimes gets a little stuffy. Once Chu Muyu starts working, it’s like a clockwork that can’t stop. I can’t even stay in the same space with him for a while, let alone wake up the part that he has forgotten. remembered.

Nolan slandered, maybe Chu Muyu was a dragon who loves to make money in his previous life, the kind who would pile up gold, silver and jewels in the cave he occupied.

After the first stage of the course, Nolan was arranged to go directly into the shed for practice.

"When facing the camera, you have to change your emotions, demeanor and body language according to the subject of photography."

In the studio, the photographer taught Nolan how to quickly enter the scene.

"For example, the subject of this photography is desire, how should you express it?"

"Desire?" Nolan stood in front of the backdrop and asked after thinking for a while, "I have a crush on someone and want him to recall all the memories about me. Is this considered desire?"

"Of course." The photographer put down the camera in his hand and analyzed with him, "This is possessiveness, you have to convert this thought into emotion, imagine the scene of taking the object of your crush as your own and lingering with him to death, use Your hormones, your eyes, your movements show it."

The lingering scene of fantasies and crush objects...

The image of Chu Muyu embracing and copulating with him in the deep sea could not help appearing in Nolan's mind. Chu Muyu's back, his slender fingers, his Adam's apple exposed because he raised his head...

puff-

"Get the paper, Nolan has a nosebleed!"

After the actual filming ended, Chu Muyu just drove back to the company. When he saw Nolan, he was looking up with a ball of tissue stuffed in his nose. I couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked An Qi what was going on.

"It's probably because I got angry, and I suddenly got a nosebleed when I patted it." An Qi was also a little confused.

"Eating grass every day can still get angry, young people are really full of energy and blood." Chu Muyu joked.

Nolan looked at Chu Muyu, with resentful and somewhat inexplicable feelings in his eyes.

Chu Muyu felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and the side of his face couldn't help showing a slight heat.

"Why are you staring at me all the time?" Chu Muyu turned his head away, avoiding Nolan's gaze unnaturally.

Nolan's nasal cavity was blocked, and he made a buzzing nasal voice when he spoke, "The photographer asked me to find someone to practice my eyes."
