Ruan Li tried all kinds of coaxing and enticing, but couldn’t get him to agree. "Forget it, then you drink this nutrition solution yourself," she said, squeezing the nutrition solution into the mermaid’s webbed fingers and wrapping his hand to teach him to hold it. Who knew that as soon as she let go, the mermaid would also release his webbed fingers. The opened tube of nutrition solution plopped into the pool, and the green liquid quickly dispersed into the water. This happened so quickly that Ruan Li watched helplessly as Xi Han himself discarded the nutrition solution. Before she had time to get angry, the mermaid took her hand and raised it again, carefully retracting his sharp claws, his webbed fingers gently opening Ruan Li’s palm. The mermaid lowered his head, and under Ruan Li’s puzzled gaze, pressed his cool cheek into her palm, the fine cold and smooth sensation was particularly distinct in her palm. He slightly tilted his head up, his ice-blue eyes full of submission, as if knowing he had done wrong and made someone angry, now actively showing weakness to apologize. The little spark that nearly ignited in Ruan Li instantly extinguished. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novｅlfire.net "Forget it, you don’t understand anything now, I can’t blame you, are you hungry? I’ll go get you another tube." After feeding Xi Han, Ruan Li lay on the sofa rubbing her sore waist. Shi Jue cooked two simple dishes and brought them to the table. Seeing Ruan Li lying on the sofa rubbing her waist, he eagerly ran over to encase her in his arms, his fingertips pressing lightly but not heavily on her waist. At first, Ruan Li didn’t want to be held by him, after all, in the hot weather, Shi Jue’s body was as hot as a furnace, and as soon as you leaned in, you felt like steaming all over. Later, under his rapidly improving massage skills, she drowsily leaned against his lap, her mind calm and naturally cool. Ruan Li awoke from her nap and opened her eyes to see Zhe Ye sitting at the end of the sofa, "Zhe Ye, you’re back so early today." She rubbed her eyes and greeted him, completely oblivious to the fact that her top had slid halfway up her waist, revealing the slender waist full of ambiguous marks. "Hmm, you haven’t eaten yet?" Ruan Li responded, "Yes, we were just waiting for you to come back and eat together." "You don’t have to wait for me next time," Zhe Ye’s dark eyes flashed with tenderness and guilt. After dinner, Shi Jue was reluctant to return to his own room, clinging to Ruan Li, the meaning in his eyes obvious. Ruan Li first gave him a smile sweet enough to kill, then pinched his sturdy waist, her voice soft, "No way, we have to know how to balance work and rest, take it easy, today I want to sleep alone, I don’t want to change the sheets again." Shi Jue was reluctant, still trying to make an effort, "Ruannuan, do you think I don’t warm the bed well enough? I can learn..." Ruan Li was afraid she would soften at the sight of the little lion’s pitiful eyes, long pain is not as good as short pain, "Yes, um, your technique really needs improvement, you need to fix your rough habits." She was lying, the little lion’s foreplay and aftercare were clearly very considerate. After all, who could refuse a sunny golden retriever with blue eyes who loves to cuddle, snuggle, and kiss? As she turned to leave, Ruan Li touched her guilty conscience. Her waist and legs really couldn’t take it, it felt like everything ached with every step. Shi Jue heard a "bang" as the door closed, as crisp and decisive as his just shattered heart. Last night, he indeed didn’t do well, even though the female head cried, he was still very happy; he simply, simply didn’t deserve to be a beast husband. Zhe Ye, who was just about to head to his room on the second floor, saw Shi Jue full of dejection, paused silently on the stairs, deciding to linger for a moment. Sure enough, as Shi Jue realized his lovelorn state had been seen by another beastman, he immediately put on a cold face and pretended as if nothing happened, returning to his room. Not long after Ruan Li went in, she heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Shi Jue still trying to persuade her, she raised her voice and called out to the door, "I already said your technique isn’t good, you can’t warm the bed tonight." After a moment of silence outside, another voice slowly sounded. Ruan Li remembered what she had just said and quickly ran to the door. She only opened a crack in the door, revealing her slightly shy eyes, "Zhe Ye, do you need something?" The man at the door lightly pressed his lips together, then took out the massager he had just bought. "I noticed that your waist seems uncomfortable. The massager I bought on the Star Network just arrived, you can try it." Ruan Li extended a hand through the crack and accepted it, "Thank you, Zhe Ye, you’re so thoughtful." An ambiguous murmur squeezed out of his throat, and his ash-gray eyes half-lowered looking at her. "Shi Jue is young and impulsive, you can’t always indulge him." He had just turned 20, even a few months younger than Ruan Li. Of course, being younger also meant more energy. Ruan Li’s cheeks flushed, knowing what he meant, she murmured a couple of agreements. "Then good dreams tonight." His low, rich voice was like the soft moonlight draped down. After sending off Zhe Ye, she unwrapped the packaging and took out the massager to read the instructions. Following the instructions, she tried it for a while and found it to be quite good. Around eight or nine at night, feeling the time was right, she filled the bathtub with hot water, added some scent, planning to enjoy a good soak tonight. The Smart Brain was waterproof and could project TV shows into the air. She also placed a glass of milk nearby. The heat filled the bathroom, the warm water perfectly soothing her entire sore body. The bathtub filled with bubbles and a clean fragrance, she took a sip of cold milk and comfortably leaned against the edge of the tub. She was engrossed in a TV drama, the sound drowning out any external noise, completely unaware that an uninvited guest had already sneaked into her bedroom. The door was stealthily cracked open, revealing a pair of ice-blue eyes. When Ruan Li turned her head, she saw the obedient mermaid standing in front of her, with the suppression ring she had tried all day to have him wear hanging on his webbed fingers. To say he was standing is not quite accurate. Because the mermaid had no legs, only a tail, he supported his tail on the ground, using his arms to walk along the walls. The mermaid’s face forced a chilling smile. A deep-sea mermaid presumably wouldn’t smile; he must have been imitating Ruan Li’s daily smiles. Only this smile was a typical forced grin, revealing sharp teeth, adding an eerie sense to his originally handsome face. Ruan Li looked at Xi Han in confusion, her mind filled with how he had managed to get from the outdoor pool to the second floor. His eyes were filled with a kind of eagerness, and his claw gestured towards the suppression ring on his webbed fingers, then pointed at his neck. The meaning was unmistakable. "You want me to help you wear the suppression ring?" The mermaid slowly moved along the wall to the edge of the bathtub and plopped onto the ground with most of his body. The solid thud made Ruan Li feel sorry.
