No one spoke in the room for a long time.
No one would doubt the answer.
This young boy showed up at Qin Zhao's house, lying on his bed with only the quilt covering most of his body. It was obvious what was going on under the quilt.
If you say there is nothing wrong with these two people, they will not believe it.
It’s just… I didn’t expect Qin Zhao’s husband to be so handsome, which made many young and energetic farmers present a little jealous.
Among the crowd, the village chief was the first to react. He shouted, "Everyone, get out! It's inappropriate to be standing here!"
My husband is Shuang'er. Although he is a man in terms of gender, he is fundamentally different from normal men.
No wonder she was almost scared to tears, surrounded by such a large group of men.
Everyone was driven out of the house by the village chief's words. Before leaving, the village chief bowed to Jing Li and said, "I'm sorry for the offense."
After saying that, he also retreated.
Only Qin Zhao and Jing Li were left in the room.
Qin Zhao still held Jing Li's hand, not with much force, but still making it impossible to break free. Jing Li lowered his head and dared not look at him, his heart beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest.
Still discovered.
At that time, he was in the house and heard people talking outside. Hearing that they were looking for "fish", he suddenly had this idea. As long as he was no longer a fish, he would not be caught by these people, and Qin Zhao would not be considered a liar.
The only problem is that Qin Zhao will also notice that there is an extra person in the room.
Qin Zhao is so smart, he will definitely guess the truth immediately.
But apart from this method, he really had no other choice.
Will Qin Zhao think he is a monster
Would Qin Zhao think that he had been lying and get angry and drive him away
Is it too late for him to explain now? Will Qin Zhao still believe him
Many uneasy emotions wrapped around Jing Li like a cocoon. His fingertips felt numb and he began to tremble slightly. He was so nervous that he even forgot to ask the most important question.
—What does Fulang mean
Qin Zhao clearly felt that the boy beside him was very nervous. The hand he held in his palm was cold and soft, and the touch reminded him of the soft fins of the little monster when he was cooking fish.
He knew he should say something, but he didn't know how to start.
Although I knew that the little fish could turn into a human, I had also seen this face in my dreams.
But it was just a dream after all.
The young man who had appeared in his dreams many times appeared in front of him, making Qin Zhao feel a little flustered.
Too flustered to look at him.
"Why... why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Qin Zhao spoke with difficulty, and this was his first sentence.
Jing Li was stunned.
After saying that first sentence, the rest went much more smoothly. Qin Zhao said, "They were delayed outside for so long, why didn't they go to my closet to get some clothes to wear?"
"I..." Jing Li blinked and whispered, "I forgot."
He was so frightened at the time that he didn't dare to move at all, let alone think about these things.
After hearing this answer, Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Very good, his little fish is still as silly as ever, it hasn’t changed at all.
He turned around, opened the closet, took out a piece of clothing and handed it to the boy on the bed: "Get up and put on your clothes."
Jing Li didn't move, but instead held the quilt tighter: "I... I'll put it on in a moment..."
Qin Zhao seemed to realize something, and his eyes fell on the quilt: "You..."
Jing Li didn't dare to lie at all. He obediently pulled the corner of the quilt open under Qin Zhao's gaze.
Below the chest is a slender waist with some fish scales on the skin. There are no legs below the waist, but a bright red fish tail.
The tip of his tail slapped the bed nervously, and Jing Li's voice sounded guilty: "I can't change back..."
He was afraid that Qin Zhao would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained: "I'm not always like this, it's just that I was too scared and too hungry today. I could turn into a human before!"
Qin Zhao could no longer pay attention to what Jing Li was saying.
The little monster has a very fair complexion, and the fish scales that have not yet faded make the exposed skin texture look even whiter and almost transparent.
Qin Zhao just felt that the waist was very dazzling. He didn't dare to look at it for long and turned his eyes away awkwardly.
For the first time, he felt that what was said in the storybook about monsters bewitching the human world was not false.
Fortunately, at this time, there was noise outside the house again.
"I really saw it yesterday! How could I frame him with such an easily exposed trick? He just kept the fish for himself!"
Qin Zhao regained his senses a little. He bent down to cover Jing Li with a blanket, and then put his clothes on him. He said, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Jing Li nodded obediently.
Everyone had retreated outside the house. Qin Zhao walked out, and Chen Laosi was still shouting to the men from the town: "Believe me, he is lying. The fish you are looking for is with him. If you leave today, you will never find it again!"
The men remained silent. Qin Zhao sneered in his heart and was about to step forward.
A voice came from behind the crowd: "…What are you all arguing about?"
The crowd dispersed, and a young man in gorgeous clothes came forward.
The young man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a light purple brocade gown and a jade pendant around his waist. He looked very noble.
Several men hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Sir."
The young man walked up to them, raised the folding fan in his hand, and knocked each of them hard on the head: "What did I tell you? Go find fish and don't disturb others. But you are disturbing my benefactor?!"
Several men looked at each other in bewilderment, and the young man slapped them hard: "What are you standing there for? Go and apologize to Mr. Qin!"
A few people dared not speak out but walked up to Qin Zhao and said, "We apologize for offending you today. I hope you will forgive us, Mr. Qin."
The young man also stepped forward and asked: "Is the benefactor not injured?"
Qin Zhao asked: "Do I know you?"
"..." the young man said angrily, "I am Fang Tianying!"
Qin Zhao: “…”
He looked at the fair face and couldn't connect him with the disheveled, crying and breathless person a few days ago.
Fang Tianying cleared his throat and said, "To be honest, that idiot who offered a bounty for the koi... Well, Mr. Lu is an old friend of my father, and my family was responsible for posting the notices near Heyang Town. These bastards only care about the bounty, and they run wherever they hear there are fish. I have scolded them many times."
"I see." Qin Zhao nodded.
Fang Tianying said, "I am in a hurry to come out today, I will take the person back first, and come to apologize to the benefactor in person another day."
Qin Zhao nodded in agreement.
Fang Tianying bowed to him and left with his men.
The young master of the Fang family came and left so quickly that the villagers present were a little slow to react.
In the entire Linxi Village, including several neighboring villages, no one does not know the Fang family. The Fang family is the largest family in Heyang Town, and they are from a completely different world from them.
How could Qin Zhao know such a big shot
However, Fang Tianying did arrive in time. Once that group of people left, Chen Laosi was suddenly left isolated and helpless.
He had completely lost his support and rushed over to grab Qin Zhao's collar: "Tell me, where did you hide the fish? Huh? I clearly saw you feeding the fish last night. You know who is lying!"
He used too much force and Qin Zhao staggered and hit the door panel.
Qin Zhao's expression was as calm as ever, and he said softly in a voice that no one else could hear: "So what?"
Chen Laosi was stunned.
“… Do you have evidence for them to believe you?”
Chen Laosi raised his head, and the sickly boy who used to be kind to others and even a little tolerant looked down at him, with a hint of sarcastic smile in his eyes.
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Chen Laosi's back.
Before he knew it, several villagers nearby had come forward and pulled him away.
Li Dali asked with concern: "Qin Zhao, are you okay?"
Qin Zhao lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's okay."
He walked up to the village chief and said politely, "I hope the village chief will make the decision for me today."
The head of Linxi Village has always been fair in his work. He sighed heavily and said, "Chen Laosi, just do as you said and go home to pack your things."
“What…” Chen Laosi’s face turned pale in an instant, “No, don’t chase me away. I have lived here since I was born. Where else can I go? Village chief, please spare me for my mother’s sake. Don’t chase me away!”
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." The village chief shook his head. "Everyone, go away. Qin Zhao, I want to apologize to your husband on behalf of everyone. The villagers have offended me today."
Qin Zhao: "Thank you, Village Chief."
Qin Zhao took one last look at Chen Laosi, walked past him and went back to the house.
Since he lost all his memories, Qin Zhao has been living under someone else's roof and rarely made enemies with anyone. But today, this person not only caused him trouble, but also bullied his little fish.
Qin Zhao saw Xiaoyu's aggrieved and frightened look when the group of people broke into the house.
Just for this reason, there's no way he'd just let it go.
The villagers in front of the house gradually dispersed, but Chen Laosi's shouting and crying could still be heard through the door, but they gradually faded away.
Qin Zhao walked into the bedroom and saw the little monster wearing his clothes and sitting beside the bed.
The dress was too big for him, almost covering him from head to toe. The fish tail turned back into legs, and a pair of white feet stretched out from the edge of the dress, hanging over the bed and swaying gently.
There are a few fish scales on the white instep.
Qin Zhao had some difficulty breathing again.
After the other party was out for a while, Jing Li finally came back to his senses.
No matter how smart Qin Zhao was or how receptive he was, he would not be able to maintain the same calm attitude as before when he found out that the fish he raised had turned into a human.
Jing Li tapped the ground lightly with his toes and asked in a low voice: "Did you...did you know this a long time ago..."
"Know what?" Qin Zhao thought he looked particularly cute, and said with a smile, "Do you know that there is a little monster who turned into a fish and cheated me of food and drink?"
"I'm not a monster!"
After realizing that Qin Zhao was not angry with him, Jing Li also became bolder: "I was able to transform into a human after living here for several days. I am really not a monster."
This surprised Qin Zhao a little.
Qin Zhao asked: "When was the first time you turned into a human?"
"The first time I turned into a complete human was when you fainted in the mountains. I was the one who saved you!" His tone was quite proud.
Qin Zhao looked at him and was silent for a moment.
In other words, the first time he turned into a human, Qin Zhao caught him and discovered his identity.
The Little Silly Fish lives up to its name.
Qin Zhao asked again: "Then why do you stay with me and don't want to go home?"
"Home? Isn't my home right here?" Jing Li blinked before realizing what Qin Zhao was talking about. "You mean that Mr. Lu? I don't even know who he is, so of course I don't want to go there."
He said his home is here.
Qin Zhao seemed to be hit hard by these words. His heart trembled slightly and he felt limp.
Jing Li didn't care about these. After all the problems were solved, he just felt relieved. He reached out to pull Qin Zhao's clothes and said, "Qin Zhao, I'm so hungry."
… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with eating and drinking for free while in human form.
Qin Zhao was both angry and amused, and asked, "Do you think this matter is over?"
Jing Li blinked in confusion: "?"
Qin Zhao said in a leisurely tone: "Let's not talk about your deception for now, but you have caused me so much trouble today. I still need to think about whether to keep you."
Jing Li's expression froze on his face.
Why even consider it!
The little koi fish didn't dare to act rashly and asked carefully: "Then... what do I need to do to make you agree?"
Qin Zhao said calmly: "As you said before, prove to me the value of keeping you."
"My value..." Jing Li hesitated.
Qin Zhao looked at his expression and deliberately said, "Are you so embarrassed? Could this also be a lie? You are not a koi at all?"
"I am, of course I am!" Jing Li said anxiously, "Don't chase me away, I can fulfill your wish!"
Qin Zhao: "Anything is fine?"
Jing Li gritted his teeth: "Yeah!"
Qin Zhao looked down at the pretty face and smiled faintly: "Then... I want a husband, is that okay?"
