The mermaid struggled to drag his tail and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that the man who had been sleeping all this time finally opened his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, fearful and aggrieved, and kept shrinking into the man's arms.
"Second Young Master, what happened to you just now..."
You Qin's eyes were a little dazed, he was holding the mermaid in his arms, and there seemed to be that strange fragrance in his throat.
Looking down at the mermaid's slender wrist that was no longer bleeding, a subtle light flashed in the man's eyes, "Ah Qing, your hand..."
"I cut it with a knife just now." Hearing what he said, the mermaid's beautiful face immediately showed an expression of acknowledgment, "I used to bite it with my teeth, but I don't know why the teeth can't bite."
Obviously his teeth were very sharp before.
The changes in his body made the mermaid frightened. He instinctively sought comfort, then slipped into the man's arms, stretched out his blood-stained hand and handed it in front of him, "Second Young Master, you have to huh..."
It's not the first time You Qin has seen mermaid's blood, but he clearly remembers the last time he saw it, the mermaid's blood had no smell at all.
A strange fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose. The man held the young boy's white arm, sucked the tender meat, and sucked the blood into his mouth little by little.
[Ding! You Qin's favorability: 80]
"Second Young Master?" It was obviously an ambiguous gesture, but the mermaid's eyes were full of innocence. He was shaking his beautiful fish tail, and tilted his head to watch the man drink his own blood.
The remaining blood on the arm was drained, and You Qin felt some power that did not belong to him flowing in his body, and he was gradually repairing his body that had collapsed from eating, drinking, and playing.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the man's face returned to rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. He sat up, hugged the mermaid in his arms, and stroked his fish scales soothingly.
The beautiful fish scales with a good touch trembled slightly under his hands, and the mermaid blushed again. He carefully leaned against the man's arms and said softly, "Second Young Master, you said yesterday that you took me to the playground."
This dependent attitude greatly pleases the man, hugging the mermaid as if holding his own baby, You Qin's voice is magnetic, "Ah Qing, why do you think of cutting blood for me to drink?"
There was no sympathy for the mermaid's injury in his question, but the mermaid didn't notice it at all. He raised his mouth a little proudly, and his voice was clear and sweet.
"I was driven into a rock by those big fish and couldn't get out. When I was hungry, I drank blood, and my body didn't hurt at all."
Having said that, he showed a worried expression on his face, carefully lying on the man's body, stretched out his hand to reach the man's cheek, his beautiful almond eyes were full of worry, "Second Young Master, are you still in pain?"
"You were like spitting bubbles just now, you scared me to death!" He said with lingering fear, but his hand was grabbed by the man and fondled cherishingly.
"It's okay, Ah Qing did a great job."
His face was full of boasting towards the mermaid, which made the little mermaid who had no experience in the world couldn't help but raise her tail proudly.
"I've always been smart!"
"Yes, Ah Qing has always been very smart..."
You Qin stroked the beautiful fish tail, his eyes gradually sank.
If, with all this blood, would he be able to defeat You Si
The health that can be bought with money, presumably everyone will buy it crazily.
As for the mermaid, it's nothing more than a little less blood.
He leaned forward slightly, with a gentle smile on his face similar to You Si, the mermaid couldn't help being dumbfounded watching it.
Seeing the stunned expression of the mermaid, a smile flashed in the man's eyes, and he asked softly, "Ah Qing, would you like to do me a favor?"
——
"The smell of blood? No, I didn't smell anything." Shu Zhou held a tube of blood in his hand, and said flatteringly, "Second Young Master, this tube is not enough. When can you give it to me again?" I'll have more."
"Is it harmful to the body? How is it possible? Second Young Master, blood is regenerated. Even if it is a little less, it will grow back slowly. Don't worry, the body is weaker at most. Eat more good supplements." Just make it up."
"Half of the research results have come out, as long as I provide a little more blood, I will be able to develop the drug immediately, and then! The whole world will be crazy about us!"
"Hey! Okay, okay, Second Young Master, don't worry!"
Nodding and hanging up the phone, the little man slowly straightened his back, with an expectant and crazy smile on his face.
An old man who was also short and looked more like a mouse than Shu Zhou sat on the ground and asked impatiently, "How is it? Does it mean that blood has a scent?"
"That's right!" Shu Zhou nodded ecstatically, "Grandpa, it's really a merman, there must be a merman in You Qin's place!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" The old man narrowed his eyes with greed, "Blood had no smell before, and suddenly it has a fragrance. The mermaid has just grown up and is weak. Ah Zhou, you must put This merman snatches it up, whether our Shu family can get up or not depends on this merman!"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, stood up tremblingly and leaning on crutches, carefully took out a yellowed book from the cabinet, and tremblingly handed it to Shu Zhou.
"This is a book handed down by our ancestors. You should read it carefully. After you finish studying it, go and test You Qin first. If he doesn't want to give it to you, even if it's a lie, you have to trick the Merman over here!"
"By the way, you must remember that the mermaids came ashore to seek a mate. Their strength is still there. Humans can't control it. It's best to coax them to bleed the mermaid blood willingly."
"Don't worry, Grandpa!" Shu Zhou also took the book excitedly, and opened the first page, which showed a picture of a mermaid lying on a stone in the middle of the lake combing his hair.
Note on the side: [Mackerel, half human, half fish, lives in the sea, its blood can cure all diseases, its scales, ground into powder, can prolong life.]
—
"But I want to eat..." The mermaid lay pitifully beside the tea table, looking at the big apple on the table and only swallowed.
"Ah Qing is obedient, I've already eaten two, and it will be uncomfortable if I eat any more." Shu Zhou picked up the mermaid, looked at his huge and beautiful tail, and stroked it casually.
"Ah Qing still doesn't know how to become a human leg?"
The mermaid pursed her mouth and shook her head with aggrieved expression, "I don't know, I just need to think about it before."
Seeing that he himself didn't know, Youqin had a headache. If the mermaid never becomes a human, should he be placed in the fish tank all the time
He patted the mermaid's head, and coaxed softly, "How about this, Ah Qing, try your best to get your legs, and then I'll take you to the playground, okay?"
"oh… "
The mermaid had a bitter face, and thought hard for a long time. The tail of the fish was still the tail of a fish, and there was no sign of turning into a human leg at all.
He shook the beautiful fish tail, with aggrieved expression, "It's done."
You Qin looked at it and saw that the beautiful luster of the fish scales had dimmed slightly, so he quickly picked up the mermaid and put it back into the fish tank.
The mermaid fell into the water, shook its tail comfortably, then swam up again, lying on the edge of the fish tank and talking to the man, "Second Young Master, why are you drawing my blood again? I feel so uncomfortable."
Thinking that he was afraid of pain, You Qin comforted him, "The blood is useful to me, Ah Qing doesn't want to help me?"
The mermaid looked at the healed wound on her hand, her beautiful eyes were full of trust, "Okay, as long as Second Young Master is useful."
Seeing his big innocent eyes, You Qin felt warm in his heart. He stepped forward, hugged the mermaid's wet head in his arms, and said softly, "When I defeat him this time, I will buy a small island. Let's go live in the sea, shall we?"
Nautical mile? The mermaid shook her head without thinking, and raised her face to look at the man, "I don't want to go to the sea, I want to be with the second young master."
You Qin seemed to be touched by something in his heart, itching, he kissed the mermaid's forehead lightly, and said shyly, "Okay, I want to be with my little mermaid too."
[Ding! You Qin's favorability: 85]
In the next few days, Shu Zhou asked You Qin for blood several times, and each time brought new discoveries and new research.
"It's only five milliliters, and now it's only five milliliters when you go to the hospital for an examination. Don't worry, Er Shao, the blood will regenerate."
Despite Shu Zhou's sworn promise, You Qin still hesitated seeing the mermaid's pale face day by day.
Seeing the door open, the mermaid who was playing with the pet crab at the bottom of the sea happily swam up with a beautiful fish tail, lying on the side of the fish tank with sparkling eyes, "Second Young Master! Did you bring me something delicious!"
"Bring..." You Qin saw the pale-faced mermaid as soon as he entered the door. He was still in good spirits, but the color of his lips was not quite right.
It shouldn't be like this, it's only five milliliters, nothing will happen to humans, let alone mermaids with strong recovery.
Although he said this to himself, but seeing the mermaid body that was only for himself and only believed in him was weakening day by day, You Qin still had the idea of giving up.
Thinking about it now, I just want to surpass You Si, so is it necessary to take the mermaid to take risks
He got the mermaid, but You Si didn't. Doesn't this already mean that he is better than You Si
Thinking this way, You Qin kept thinking about one thing, that is, the mermaid was given to him by You Si, not snatched back by him.
If You Si hadn't given it to him, no matter how hard he tried, he might not be able to snatch the man who had only one mother but was far stronger than him.
Surpassing You Si has become an obsession in You Qin's heart, no matter what aspect it is, even if it is only more than once.
"Second Young Master..." The mermaid's soft voice brought You Qin back to reality, his eyes were in a daze for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, he lifted the bag in his hand and walked to the side of the fish tank and handed it to the mermaid, "I bought the cake for you, Ah Qing Like it?"
"like!"
The mermaid answered happily with a crisp voice, but then, the happy expression gradually faded, and he looked at the man hesitantly, with a soft voice, "Is the second young master going to draw my blood again?"
You Qin was stunned, and then forced a smile at the corner of his mouth after a while, "Ah Qing, why do you ask that?"
The mermaid looked at him timidly, "Every time Second Young Master wants to draw my blood, he will bring me delicious food."
"Is it an exchange?"
His eyes were full of trust in the man, and he stretched out his white and tender arms, "Second Young Master, you can smoke directly, there is no need to exchange, Ah Qing wants to help Second Young Master!"
The forced smile on the corner of You Qin's mouth froze completely, and he stared blankly at the mermaid, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
Youqin, who has drawn blood a few times, knows how painful the mermaid is, but such a mermaid, who is afraid of pain, is willing to do this...
"Second Young Master? Why are your eyes red?" The mermaid's soft voice sounded, You Qin rubbed his eyes, and said softly, "It's nothing, I just thought of something."
"Is the second young master still drawing blood?"
You Qin touched his head and said softly, "No more, never again..."
The mermaid tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously, "Ah Qing, don't you need to help Second Young Master any more?"
"No need..." You Qin paused for a while before saying bitterly, "Ah Qing is more important."
"Ah Ching, do you like me?"
He leaned down slightly so that his eyes were parallel to the mermaid, and the mermaid nodded obediently in front of him, "I like it!"
His eyes are very clear, black and white, as innocent as a child, You Qin can't find the love of an adult in it, but he can't express it due to the mermaid.
The man also smiled, and the mermaid was stunned.
"I like Ah Qing too."
"In the future, can it be just the two of us living together?"
The mermaid should have agreed without hesitation, but under You Qin's smile, he hesitated for a few seconds before looking at the man timidly, "Second Young Master, where's Si?"
"Isn't he with us?"
The man's smile gradually froze. He forced the corners of his lips to curl up, and reminded him softly, "Ah Qing, you forgot again. It should be Second Young Master's brother."
"Don't forget it in the future."
It was obviously a gentle tone, but the mermaid couldn't help trembling when he heard it. He shrank his body, pursed his mouth and didn't really want to agree, but finally nodded aggrieved.
The voice was soft and delicate, "I remember."
At this moment, the computer on the coffee table sent a video request, and the mermaid turned her head and glanced at it in surprise, stretched out her two tender white arms with sparkling eyes, and said in a clear and expectant voice, "Second Young Master! Yes! Hold me over!"
The expression on You Qin's face turned completely cold.
Recently, You Si has been looking for him quite frequently.
He didn't want to connect, but the expectant eyes of the mermaid were still cold. The two connected the video. On the other end, the man locked his eyes on the happy-faced mermaid the second the video appeared.
Seeing his pale face, I couldn't help frowning, "He Qing, why is your face so bad?"
"Is it bad?"
The mermaid was suspicious and afraid to slap her face, "I was in the water all the time, and I didn't look in the mirror."
"Second young master! Give me a mirror soon!"
He didn't think it himself, but from You Si's point of view, the mermaid's face turned extremely pale in just a few days. He didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the reason for going ashore.
"You Qin, you remember to put sea water in the fish tank, He Qing may not be suitable for fresh water."
You Qin, who was watching their interaction, sneered, "Do you need to say that? I've changed to sea water a long time ago."
"Why does he look so bad, have you checked, you..."
"Okay, okay!"
You Qin interrupted the man impatiently, his eyes were full of contempt, "When did you become an old mother, you want to take care of so much."
The mermaid stared blankly at their quarrel, her eyes full of timidity, seeing the gloomy face of the man on the other end of the video, she finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"Second Young Master, Si also wants to care about me..."
"Shut up! I want you to talk more!" You Qin was already agitated in his heart, but these two were flirting in front of him, and now they are begging for love!
The mermaid trembled in fright from his sudden anger, her pretty Xingxing eyes were full of fear, and her tail curled up nervously.
Seeing his attitude, You Si frowned more and more, and said in a cold voice, "You Qin, is this how you raised him?"
"Brother, you gave Ah Qing to me, so don't worry about it, anyway, he is not important to you, otherwise, how could you give it to me so easily? Say yes!"
The mermaid who was frightened by his sudden anger was stunned, and looked up at the man in the computer blankly.
You Si looked at it and felt that he was sad.
No, how come, didn't the mermaid always want to follow You Qin? By following him now, you should get what you want.
But looking at the pitiful look of the mermaid's reddish eyes, he still couldn't help softening his heart, and opened his mouth, "Why..."
-Snapped!
The computer was slammed shut, and You Qin looked at the mermaid angrily, "How did I teach you? Did you forget what he called when you saw him?"
"He gave you to me, why don't you have a long memory!"
The mermaid was already sad, but at the moment when she was yelled at, almost immediately, big tears fell from her red eyes, accompanied by the mermaid's aggrieved sobs and small distressing cries.
You Qin paused, he just said a few harsh words, why did he cry
"Okay, don't cry..."
"Ohh Ohh ohh… "
"I didn't mean to get angry at you just now, my dear..."
"woo woo woo woo… "
"Do you think what I said is true? Did You Si give you to me? He doesn't care about you at all."
Thinking of the way the two looked at each other in front of him just now, the veins on You Qin's forehead couldn't help popping out.
But for the mermaid, you can't beat it, and you can't scold it, you can only coax it nicely.
You Qin's ability to coax people is still very good, otherwise he would not have been a fool before, but now he only showed half of his ability, and he easily coaxed the little mermaid into forgetting to cry.
"Really, do singing ponies really exist?"
"Really, when you can change your legs, I will take you there, okay?"
The mermaid's eyes were still red, but she smiled again, "Well! Good!"
Seeing him happy again, You Qin couldn't help but feel happy too.
So be it, take the mermaid and start life again.
As long as there is Ah Qing, what is indisputable does not seem to be so important.
Before that, he had to clean up the matter.
You Si comforted the mermaid, watched him obediently fall asleep with the crab in his arms at the bottom of the fish tank, looked through the fish tank for a long time, and then opened the door to leave.
"Want to get back that blood?" The little man cried out, and then a disturbed expression appeared on his face.
"Second Young Master, do you think I'm useless and want to do it alone? Give me some more time. Just give me another week, and I'll definitely be able to research it!"
You Qin lit a cigarette, looked at Shu Zhou's nervous expression, and said softly, "Okay, there's no need to study, and don't mention this to others in the future."
"Second Young Master, is there something I did wrong? I will definitely change it! In this way, I will work overtime, even if I don't sleep, I will research the results for you, okay?"
"Rat, that's not the case." Knowing that he had misunderstood, You Qin took a puff of smoke and explained, "This blood, it's not that you won't give it to you, but no one will give it to you. In this way, I will give the land last time." If you add three more layers, it will be your compensation for your busy work these days."
compensate? Who wants those compensations!
A trace of cruelty flashed across Shu Zhou's eyes, and when the man looked over, he quickly buried it. He squeezed out a flattering smile, bowed his knees, lost all dignity and begged.
"Second Young Master, you don't know what these bloods represent to the medical profession. Life cannot be bought with money, but with these bloods, money can also buy lives. Those people, those who are rich People with poor health, they are not crazy to buy it!"
"Second Young Master, haven't you always wanted to overwhelm Mr. You? As long as you have this blood..."
"Who told you that I want to surpass my brother!" You Qin cut off the cigarette and looked at him with a bad expression, "Where did you come from with this idea?"
Who in the whole circle didn't know that he never thought of fighting with You Si, except Wang Yi's psychopath, who didn't know that You Qin only wanted to eat, drink and have fun.
Don't care if it's true or not, at least on the surface, this is how You Qin behaved.
Since when did this little follower beside him, who has always been inconspicuous, have such a keen sense of smell
You Qin's gaze fell on the little man like a hawk, Shu Zhou was completely stiffened by his gaze, and he forced a flattering smile, his voice trembling as if he was frightened.
"I, I guess, I'm sorry Second Young Master!"
"Second Young Master, really, that blood can really make you reach the highest place, everyone will kneel at your feet and beg you for that blood, you believe me!!"
I have to say that although Shu Zhou spoke upside down, the meaning in his words was not bad and attractive, but You Qin just didn't like this.
What does he want people to kneel and beg him for? If You Si begged him on his knees, he would be more interested, but that guy You Si, even if mermaid blood really can make people live forever, he probably still has that dead expression.
Sometimes You Qin feels that he has no human feelings at all, but he is just such a person, facing the mermaid seems to be a different person.
"Mouse, don't talk about this matter anymore, keep your mouth tight. I don't want to hear about these blood things outside."
Throwing the cigarette on the ground casually, You Qin took a look at this well-decorated laboratory, and turned to leave.
"Second young master!!"
Behind him, the little man stopped him almost at the top of his voice.
A trace of impatience flashed in You Qin's eyes. He was willing to give the blood to Shu Zhou for research, just because he didn't want anyone else to know that he was withdrawing the blood now, and Shu Zhou had no objection at all.
"I am leaving."
He waved his hands coolly behind him, and the man stepped forward with slender legs.
There was a hint of sinisterness in Shu Zhou's eyes, and his voice was hoarse and low, "It's a shark."
The man stopped.
Facing his back, the little man continued, "There is a record in my family's ancestors that this blood belongs to the mermaids."
"A mermaid, sexually mature at eighteen, likes to find humans as partners. For the humans he likes, his fish tail will turn into legs and go ashore. He has infinite strength and is most afraid of the smell of alcohol."
"Second Young Master, He Qing, he is just a mermaid!"
You Qin's face with his back turned to him slowly sank, he narrowed his eyes, turned around slowly, and said in an unhurried tone, "Do you think I will believe it?"
Shu Zhou was trembling physically and mentally from his gloomy gaze, but he still insisted: "Once a mermaid drinks alcohol, no matter how high his degree is, his body will be damaged to some extent, and he can no longer change his legs independently. The fish tail is stimulated to turn into a human leg like the courtship object.
"Second Young Master, as long as you observe whether He Qing will turn into a fishtail if he doesn't see you, you will know that what I said is true!"
He wanted to prove that what he said was true, but You Qin remembered that when the mermaid was with him, they were all tails.
When did it become a human leg
You Si's face flashed in his mind, You Qin clenched his fists and turned to leave.
No way, the person the mermaid likes is him!
half an hour later
The man pushed open the door, and the boy turned around when he heard the movement, biting an apple in his mouth, with a joyful smile on his face, "Second Young Master! You're back!"
As he spoke, he stood up happily, exposing his two straight and slender legs in front of the man.
"Look, I've become a leg again!"
You Qin stood stiffly outside the door, looking at the innocent boy in his eyes, his heart felt cold.
