When Fu Zhixu rushed to the kitchen, he saw Yu Yuan standing there stiffly, with many broken pieces of plates at his feet, not daring to move.
Fu Zhixu followed his gaze and met a pair of golden vertical pupils. He roughly guessed the whole story.
“Mr. Fu…” The little mermaid withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Zhixu pitifully, with a slight tremor in his voice and his eyes moist.
If he wasn’t already an adult mermaid and the person he was facing wasn’t a familiar member of the tribe, Yu Yuan would probably really cry right now.
Fu Zhixu immediately stepped forward, put one arm around his waist and the other around his knees, and easily carried him from the debris to a safe area in a princess hug.
Yu Yuan also cooperated by grabbing Fu Zhixu’s clothes to stabilize his body.
Neither of them saw anything wrong with this action.
In Fu Zhixu’s opinion, as a graduate of a military academy, he had been assigned to many backward planets to provide poverty alleviation support. In many cases, anything would be fine as long as he could avoid getting hurt, not to mention that it was just a simple princess hug.
Yu Yuan was simply frightened and just wanted to escape from there quickly, but Mr. Fu happened to come and stepped forward to save him from the dire situation.
Song Wei, who was on the video call and hadn’t had time to close it, said: “…”
You two are really a little ambiguous.
He couldn’t tell whether Fu Zhixu was acting or not, but it seemed like things were moving in a good direction. This little stand-in was a great choice.
Putting Yu Yuan on the ground and letting go of his hand, Fu Zhixu reacted but didn’t hang up the phone yet. He immediately said to Song Wei, “I have something to deal with. I’m hanging up first.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Song Wei’s reaction, and asked the butler robot beside him to clean up the debris on the ground.
Yu Yuan’s heartbeat finally calmed down. He hid behind Fu Zhixu and carefully glanced at the pair of vertical pupils that had not left yet.
”Why are you afraid of cats?” Fu Zhixu’s voice suddenly sounded.
Yes, the owner of the pair of vertical pupils is a stray cat, which probably jumped onto the kitchen windowsill after smelling the fragrance of supplementary food.
All stray animals on the main planet have their identity chips recorded by caring organizations, are regularly vaccinated and dewormed, and are sterilized when necessary. There are no safety issues and they have been living in harmony with other highly intelligent life forms on the planet.
In fact, the villa can be set up to drive away stray animals that approach. After all, not everyone likes animals. However, Fu Zhixu does not live here often, so he doesn’t care about it and has never set it up.
Yu Yuan pursed his lips and said confidently, “Isn’t it normal for fish to be afraid of cats?”
Fu Zhixu: “…”
For a moment, Fu Zhixu didn’t know how to refute.
But he still reacted quickly and pointed out the problem: “Cat jellyfish is also very similar to cats.”
If you are afraid of cats, why do you like cat jellyfish so much?
Yu Yuan puffed up his cheeks and argued, “That’s a cat-shaped jellyfish. It’s a jellyfish, not a cat.”
He was a little mermaid who grew up in the sea, so he was not afraid of jellyfish. He had seen ugly jellyfish and fierce jellyfish, and he was not afraid of them at all.
But cats on land are different. When Yu Yuan was still a baby merman, he was frightened by a cat and his tail was scratched, leaving him with a deep psychological trauma. Even when he grew up, he didn’t dare to get close to a cat.
Tonight, he was preparing ingredients in the kitchen. When he looked up, he suddenly met a pair of cat’s eyes glowing in the dark. He was so scared that he lost his grip on the plate in his hand and it broke to the ground.
Fu Zhixu stopped arguing with him. Just then, the butler robot cleaned up the debris on the ground. Fu Zhixu walked into the kitchen and casually pulled up the blinds to completely cover the pair of vertical pupils.
Soon there was a sound of something jumping away outside the window, and the cat left.
Yu Yuan then went back into the kitchen and continued to prepare complementary food for Cat Jellyfish with Fu Zhixu.
The difference from before was that Yu Yuan was closer to Fu Zhixu. He avoided the window and hid beside Fu Zhixu, as if he was afraid that the cat would come back. He would get closer to Fu Zhixu at the slightest movement.
Fortunately, the stray cat should have really left.
After his heartbeat completely calmed down, Yu Yuan couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed.
I should have taken the opportunity to act coquettishly towards Fu Zhixu and earn some coquettish value…
While the complementary food was being steamed, Fu Zhixu glanced at the little mermaid who had been sticking to him since a while ago, opened the light computer control panel, and secretly added the cat to the list of stray animals to be driven away.
[Damn, coquettishness value +2]
Yu Yuan, who was in a daze waiting for the complementary food to be steamed, said: “?”
He didn’t act like a spoiled child either.
…
After eating and feeding the cat jellyfish, Yu Yuan returned to his room and planned to start unpacking the luggage he had packed back from Yu’s house today.
The luggage was already piled at the door when they returned home. He didn’t dare to trouble Fu Zhixu to help him pack it, so he just moved into the second bedroom temporarily and planned to do it later.
Now that we have eaten and drunk our fill, it’s time to clean up.
Phew… I feel tired before it even starts.
Yu Yuan lay down on the bed like a lazy fish.
The main reason was that I spent the whole afternoon sorting out Cat and Jellyfish’s things, which consumed too much energy.
”Boom boom boom.”
A moment later, Yu Yuan knocked on the door of Fu Zhixu’s room.
The door was opened.
Yu Yuan held the pajamas that he had just pulled out of the luggage, raised his eyes and said, “Mr. Fu, I’m going to take a bath.”
Take a bath to relieve fatigue, then clean up and you will feel more energetic.
Fu Zhixu let the person in without saying anything, but secretly thought about the feasibility of building a bathtub in the second bedroom bathroom.
In the end, he gave up the idea.
When the substitute agreement ends, Yu Yuan will leave and no longer live here. The agreement will not last too long, so there is no need to build a bathtub in the second bedroom and affect the original layout.
What’s more, letting him borrow the bathtub so that they can have more contact is also a good thing.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, but it soon became quiet. I guess the bath had already started.
A lot of sea salt bath balls were bought last night, enough for the little mermaid to use for a while. Nothing went wrong tonight. Fu Zhixu didn’t hear the words “Mr. Fu” until Yu Yuan came out of the bathroom.
As soon as the bathroom door was opened, Fu Zhixu smelled a familiar scent of sea salt and subconsciously glanced sideways.
Tonight, Yu Yuan did not wear casual clothes, but wore… uh, a nightgown.
It is indeed a dress.
The color is light blue, and the skirt starts to hang down from the waist. It does not have too many decorations and is very simple in order to ensure sleeping comfort.
But it looks very good on Yu Yuan, making him look like a BJD doll.
For humans, it is not common for men to wear skirts and be called a cross-dresser.
But for mermaids, regardless of gender, wearing skirts is actually the norm. After all, pants really go against the design of the mermaid’s tail, while skirts are much more convenient.
What’s more, it is said that in the Middle Ages, skirts were originally designed for men to wear.
Fu Zhixu knew this, but he was still a little stunned when he saw Yu Yuan walking out in his nightgown for the first time.
Yu Yuan’s eyes naturally fell on Fu Zhixu. He lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his skirt, seeming a little dissatisfied. He asked, “Mr. Fu, I’m done. Do you want to wash too?”
Fu Zhixu took a shower early last night. He had already finished showering and changed into pajamas when he knocked on the door. Tonight, Fu Zhixu had not had time to take a shower and was still wearing his daytime clothes.
Fu Zhixu nodded and stood up.
Yu Yuan suddenly lifted the hem of his skirt, folded it up, and tied a bow. The skirt instantly became shorter, revealing more of his white and slender thighs. If he lifted it too much, you could even see his underwear underneath.
Fu Zhixu paused and a vein on his forehead twitched.
What is the little stand-in doing? Is he trying to seduce him?
He had encountered similar situations at some cocktail parties and dinners before. Some people would deliberately flirt with him in order to get close to him, and even wanted to rub him with their legs. Every time, he would avoid them in disgust and prevent those people from appearing in his sight again.
Yu Yuan moved around with satisfaction, and suddenly met a pair of slightly warm gazes. He tried to take a few steps forward, and as luck would have it, he got closer to Fu Zhixu who was about to walk towards the bathroom.
The owner of the sight said in a low voice: “What are you going to do?”
Yu Yuan didn’t notice anything wrong and said without thinking: “Get to work.”
I have to pack up later, and the hem of my skirt is in the way. It would be much more convenient if I tie it in a knot.
Fu Zhixu: “?”
