The battleship quickly landed on the tarmac of the military base. Norman stepped off the battleship with the little mermaid in his arms and returned to the palace in a hover car.
Walking into the mermaid room, Norman bent down, ready to put the little mermaid in the pool, his sleeves were pulled.
An Jin looked up at him with a small head, and shook his head: "I want to clean it up first."
He smelled of sea water all over his body, and was chased by sea beasts, his body was a little dirty.
Norman straightened up, held the little mermaid firmly, walked to the bathroom, and carefully put down the little mermaid.
"Do you need me to turn on the shower for you?" Norman asked.
An Jin shook his head, he sat on the ground, Norman was tall and almost completely covered him.
Norman took off the military uniform draped over the little mermaid: "I'll help you get a change of clothes."
Seeing that he turned to leave, An Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand, because he was sitting and could only pull up to Norman's trouser legs. Seeing that Norman stopped, he retracted his hand.
He raised his head, looked at Norman and asked, "I am now living in the palace as your doctor, right?"
Norman nodded: "Yes."
Of course, he prefers to have another identity.
But thinking that the little mermaid was very shy, he didn't say the last sentence.
An Jin's blue eyes lit up slightly: "Then do I have the freedom to enter and leave the palace?"
He paused and said more clearly: "Can I go out alone and go where I want to go?"
Norman's face gradually became serious, looking at the little mermaid's expectant eyes, and said slowly: "Sorry, it's not possible for the time being. It stands to reason that you have an independent identity and are completely free."
He said in a low tone, "But I'm not at ease. You are a pure-colored mermaid. You are too special and too precious. If you go out on the street alone, it will be very dangerous."
An Jin was not disappointed. In fact, he expected this result, so he thought about customizing the capsule mask before.
Of course, with the capsule mask, Norman may not worry about him going out alone.
After all, if he is a mermaid, if he wants to go out, he can only borrow a wheelchair or a scooter. The wheelchair is too attractive, and the scooter needs to hold the handle tightly with both hands. If you let go, you may fall, which is unsafe.
He looked down at the tail in the blue mermaid skirt, then looked up at Norman, and asked seriously, "If I can make it difficult for others to recognize that I am a solid-colored mermaid, will I be able to come and go freely?"
He may not be able to go out, but the meaning of having freedom of entry and exit is different.
When he was young, he didn't always want to go out to play, but his parents didn't allow him, which made him yearn for the outside.
He didn't want to be forced to stay in one position all the time.
He wants an ID card, not just a fake name.
Norman: "And safety."
An Jin nodded in understanding.
He looked at Norman's deep brown eyes, opened and closed his mouth slightly, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember how I entered the holographic world?"
Of course, Norman would not forget it. As soon as the little mermaid said it, an astonishing face appeared in his mind.
He nodded: "Remember."
An Jin clenched his fingers and looked at Norman: "If... If my reality was like a hologram, would you be afraid?"
He was worried that he would scare Norman if he said it directly, or changed his legs, so he tried his best to be euphemistic.
Norman was slightly startled, silently watching the serious and anxious appearance of the little mermaid.
He couldn't help but have a conjecture in his heart, and there was an emotion of surprise in his eyes.
He thought his idea was whimsical, but on second thought, he felt that no matter what, as long as it had something to do with the little mermaid, it could happen.
The little mermaid is a miracle in itself.
Thinking of this, his breathing was slightly stagnant, his tone was slow and deep, and he seemed very serious and firm: "Not afraid."
An Jin looked at him for two seconds, and his eyes were bent.
Sure enough, he chose to believe that Norman was right!
The corners of his mouth curved, and he asked politely and quietly, "Can you close your eyes?"
Norman grasped the fist in his hand, and his heart was beating wildly. He quickly glanced at the little mermaid's fish tail spread out on the ground, and was rarely nervous.
"Can I get you a change of clothes first?" he said.
An Jin blinked: "You, are you afraid?"
Norman said solemnly, "Of course not," he paused and said his thoughts honestly, "I'm nervous."
He said, closed his eyes, and after the next second, turned around and turned his back to the little mermaid.
An Jin was nervous at first, but when he saw Norman's reaction, he suddenly became less nervous, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He used his mental power, his tail quickly turned into legs, and the scales on his face disappeared, turning into a human image.
The fishtail skirt is very close to the body, clinging to his feet. Human skin and scales are different, and it feels bound by the wet cloth. He feels uncomfortable and moves his feet.
"You can open your eyes now," he said.
Norman turned around, his figure paused for a moment, and the delicate youth reflected in his eyes, his eyes were astonishing.
The blue peach blossom eyes are clear and clean, the dark red lips are gorgeous, and the skin is cold white with strong contrast, and the fan-shaped scales at the end of the eyes are even more attractive.
When Norman's eyes fell on the little mermaid's legs, his heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
The fishtail skirt is very close-fitting, the outline of the slender and straight legs of the teenager is obvious, and the bare feet are exposed from the bottom of the fishtail skirt.
The skin on the instep is very white, almost the same color as the marble floor. The ten nails are round and lovely, and the edges are faintly pink, which looks soft and tender.
Whether it was because of shyness or because the ground was cold, the boy's toes were slightly upturned, looking playful.
Norman took a deep breath, suppressed the restless emotions in his heart, worried that he would lose control, looked away, turned to go out, and left a sentence: "I'll get you a change of clothes."
An Jin: "..." He looked down at himself, his cheeks were hot and his feet curled up.
He was faintly happy in his heart, Norman was really not afraid of him!
Norman came back quickly, quickly put his clean T-shirt and fishtail skirt on the shelf, and quickly went out.
He walked in the wind and had the demeanor of a soldier.
An Jin looked at Norman's back and blinked. Was he dizzy just now
He seemed to see Norman's ears blushing.
With a soft 'bang', the door was gently closed by Norman, blocking An Jin's sight.
An Jin looked back and suddenly remembered that when Hornard checked him, he seemed to have mentioned that Norman had been single.
He bit his lower lip, and there was a slight smile on his lips. Although Norman often looked serious, he was inexplicably cute now.
What are you thinking! An Jin patted his face, not daring to think about it.
He activated his abilities, washed his head and shower quickly, and put on a clean T-shirt and fishtail skirt.
He withdrew the mental power on his face, and the scales on his cheeks covered his face, but he still kept the shape of his legs.
The fishtail skirt is made according to the shape of the tail, and the bottom end is relatively small, so he can only take small steps when walking, which is a bit awkward.
However, he was just going out for convenience, and he would restore his tail when he arrived at the pool later. After all, he kept his legs all the time, and the mental energy consumed was too much for him now.
He opened the door and was stunned, not expecting Norman to be standing at the door.
Norman heard the movement and turned off his brain.
The little mermaid had her hair tied behind her head, and her face returned to the appearance of a mermaid. She was wearing a neat blue T-shirt on her upper body, her slender legs wrapped in a fishtail skirt, and her white and tender feet stepped on the ground.
Norman's eyes moved slightly, and there was an urge to touch it. His fingers rubbed unconsciously and looked away.
His face became more and more serious, and he reprimanded himself, how could he have such an idea!
However, in the next second, he thought uncontrollably, it seemed that he didn't need to practice sleeping in the water.
Maybe get the dive company to stop researching.
An Jin pointed to the pool: "Can you let me? I want to go into the water."
Norman quickly moved away from the door, and raised his eyebrows: "Are your legs making you uncomfortable?"
An Jin shook his head, he went into the water, floated in the water, and put his hands on the shore: "Maintaining a human form requires mental power, a lot of mental power, and it is impossible to maintain it all the time."
He subconsciously ignored another way to maintain a human form for a long time.
Norman thought, it seems that the research has to continue.
An Jin was silent for a moment, his eyelashes trembled uncomfortably, and looked up at Norman: "I've checked the topic of mermaids and people, and I've seen reports of forbidden experiments. I'm a little scared, so I've never dared to tell you."
Norman calmed down and squatted down: "Can An An change her legs all the time?"
An Jin shook his head: "You can only do it when you are an adult."
Thinking of the embarrassing scene that night when he came of age, his cheeks were hot and his eyes wandered embarrassedly.
Norman raised his hand and rubbed the top of his hair: "I can understand your concerns. As I said, you don't have to tell me everything."
The little mermaid's concealment was only for self-protection, not to deceive him, nor to hurt him. He would not criticize him, but felt a little distressed.
He knew very well that being different from his peers was a terrible thing.
He paused, a bright color flashed in his eyes quickly, and asked in a low voice, "An An is willing to tell me now because she trusts me, right?"
An Jin quickly lowered his eyes and nodded his head gently, "Yeah."
If he didn't trust it, he wouldn't dare to say it at all.
Norman looked at the obedient little mermaid in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
An Jin squeezed his fingers: "There is one more thing, you may already know."
After he finished speaking, in the pool behind him, the calm water suddenly sprang up, spreading out from the middle to the surroundings, like a fountain.
Norman looked away from the scattered water and landed on the little mermaid's face: "Did you attack the shallow water shark?"
An Jin nodded, some doubts Norman used the question: "Someone should have seen it."
Norman: "Just guessing. You were some distance away from the shallow water shark, so you can't be sure."
An Jin listened and did not regret telling Norman that the more tolerant Norman was to him, the less he wanted to hide it from Norman. He said seriously, "It's me."
He said, thinking of something, his eyes bent: "Can I not be found out now, but also have the ability to protect myself?"
Norman said in a low voice, "You don't like me going out with you?"
His voice is magnetic, and it's even more sexy to lower his voice now.
An Jin rubbed his ears: "Also, no, you have your own job, you may not be able to accompany me every time, and sometimes, I may want to go out alone."
Norman thought for a moment: "In your image, get another ID card, and then customize the capsule mask."
Thinking of the little mermaid saying that she can't keep her human shape all the time: "Customize a mask as a mermaid, and customize one for each of the skin and scales."
An Jin's eyes were slightly opened, and his blue eyes were full of surprises. Norman thought of going with him!
He couldn't help but said, "You are really good!"
Norman said seriously: "An An is also very good. If you are willing to help those whose mental power has been degraded to restore their mental power, they can even give you their lives."
He paused, thinking that the little mermaid was an adult, and said, "Of course, I am good to An An, not just because An An helped me restore my mental strength."
Since the little mermaid understands feelings, he doesn't need to be too introverted. The sooner the little mermaid is enlightened, the better.
