”I’m sorry.” Fu Zhixu repeated.

　　Yu Yuan was completely confused and had no idea what Fu Zhixu was apologizing for.

　　”What’s wrong? Why do you have to say sorry?” he asked.

　　But Fu Zhixu still didn’t give any explanation and just kept saying sorry.

　　After drinking, Fu Zhixu’s cheeks, ears, and neck all turned red. His eyes were as dark as ink, hidden under his long eyelashes, making it impossible to discern any of his emotions.

　　Yu Yuan quickly thought of his white moonlight. After all, he couldn’t think of any reason why Fu Zhixu would say sorry to him. It was impossible for Fu Zhixu to do anything to let him down.

　　Could it be that Fu Zhixu met that white moonlight today?

　　Fu Zhixu’s “I’m sorry” was only said through him to that white moonlight?

　　The system also said: [Based on my many years of experience reading articles on the Green Gogo website^[1]I guess, sites for novels in this planet?, it is very likely! ]

　　Yu Yuan asked the system: “What should I do?”

　　The system suggested: [Soothe him, maybe you can earn some coquettish points]

　　Yu Yuan pursed his lips.

　　He knew he should do as the system said, but for some reason, his body just didn’t want to move, and the tip of his tail, which had been slightly raised, drooped down.

　　——He didn’t want to coax Fu Zhixu.

　　——It wasn’t him who made Fu Zhixu become like this, so why should he be asked to coax him.

　　An unreasonable voice was clamoring in my heart.

　　But this is clearly one of the stand-in’s jobs. Even if it’s not for the sake of acting cute, he should still do it.

　　The body was softened by the warm water, and unknown emotions suddenly appeared in the body and ran rampant. The originally comfortable bath was suddenly interrupted. I don’t think anyone would feel good.

　　Fu Zhixu was still standing in front of the bathtub, staring at the little mermaid soaking in the bathtub.

　　I had a drink with my mentor tonight. Fu Zhixu’s alcohol tolerance was average and he was half drunk. Song Wei originally didn’t plan to send him back, but he insisted on going home, muttering the name of the little substitute, saying that he wanted to go back and continue observing. Song Wei thought it was a good training opportunity, so he made up his mind and sent him back.

　　In his eyes, Yu Yuan couldn’t do anything special.

　　Besides, Fu Zhixu is quite easy to be with when he is drunk. He doesn’t talk much and he should fall asleep soon after getting home.

　　Fu Zhixu was indeed a little drunk, but not very drunk. Compared with the loss of control over his body when he was unable to perform, the impact of alcohol was minimal.

　　He remembered that he had signed an autograph for Yu Wanqiong today, and felt very sorry for Yu Yuan. He felt that he had “betrayed” Yu Yuan, so he kept saying “sorry” to Yu Yuan.

　　But he didn’t dare tell Yu Yuan about this, for fear that Yu Yuan would feel resentful, so he remained silent when Yu Yuan asked about it.

　　There was a long silence in the bathroom.

　　Yu Yuan suddenly said, “You did something wrong to me, so saying ‘sorry’ to me?”

　　Fu Zhixu nodded: “Yes.”

　　Yu Yuan took a deep breath and said lightly, “What’s the use of just saying sorry?”

　　Fu Zhixu moved closer and asked seriously, “Then what should we do?”

　　It was obvious that he really wanted to be forgiven.

　　Yu Yuan snorted softly, drained the water from the bathtub, raised the tip of his tail, and ordered, “Help me wipe my tail and apply oil, and I’ll forgive you.”

　　Fu Zhixu nodded without saying anything: “Okay.”

　　[Damn, coquettishness value +20]

　　Yu Yuan: “?!”

　　How can this be called acting like a spoiled child? This is clearly a scam.

　　I am increasingly confused about how to judge the value of being coquettish.

　　Fu Zhixu straightened up, picked up the dry towel and bath towel hanging beside him, turned around and went back to the bathtub, squatted down, first wrapped the bath towel around Yu Yuan’s upper body, and then carefully wiped the remaining water droplets on his tail scales.

　　As we got closer, the smell of wine became stronger and mixed with the smell of sea salt.

　　Yu Yuan pursed his lips and leaned against the wall of the bathtub. He was a little nervous at first, but then he felt so comfortable being served by Fu Zhixu that he relaxed.

　　The reproductive cavity has been completely retracted and covered by scales, so it is not afraid of being touched.

　　As for “applying oil” – the mermaids use an essential oil similar to human skin care products for the daily maintenance of their scales. There are even shops on the main planet that specialize in mermaid tail maintenance, which will make the fish tail less prone to dryness and the scales more lustrous.

　　There were oiling tools in the luggage he brought with him, but it is rather troublesome to take care of it on a daily basis, so Yu Yuan has not thought of using it for the time being.

　　Now, since he has someone to serve him, he doesn’t need to worry about whether it is troublesome or not. Fu Zhixu agreed to it himself.

　　”Lift your tail.” Fu Zhixu’s fingers went under the tail, trying to wipe off the moisture underneath.

　　Yu Yuan lifted his tail obediently.

　　After wiping the tail clean, under Yu Yuan’s instructions, Fu Zhixu went to the second bedroom to get the oiling tool, and began to oil Yu Yuan’s tail with slightly clumsy movements according to the instructions.

　　The scales on the tail are soft when relaxed and feel very good. Fu Zhixu started to rub the tail while rubbing it.

　　Yu Yuan was wrapped in a bath towel, unaware that he was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

　　But the bathtub wall was a bit hard after all, and it wasn’t particularly comfortable to curl up in, so he didn’t really fall asleep.

　　As Fu Zhixu was rubbing, he suddenly touched a slightly raised scale. His brain was working slowly due to the influence of alcohol, so he didn’t think too much and rubbed this area for a little longer.

　　Yu Yuan hummed twice in a daze and did not notice Fu Zhixu’s rude little action.

　　Finally, he was awakened by the sudden feeling of weightlessness.

　　The confusion in his eyes quickly faded away, and his hands subconsciously looked for support and hugged the person who picked him up, and his tail also slightly expanded.

　　”Hiss.” Fu Zhixu’s sound of pain sounded above his head.

　　Yu Yuan quickly realized what was happening and quickly softened his scaly tail, looking guiltily at Fu Zhixu’s hand that was holding him.

　　Fu Zhixu did not let go of his hand, but just curled up and carried him steadily to the bedroom, placing him on the bed which was already covered with a clean bath towel.

　　You have to wait for the essential oil on the tail to dry before it can turn into legs. Put a bath towel under the tail to prevent it from getting on the bed.

　　Yu Yuan was completely immersed in the softness, and looked guiltily at Fu Zhixu who was looking down at his palms.

　　For mermaids, the tail is an important body part and also one of their “weapons”. The scales on the tail will become very sharp when stimulated, like blades, which makes it easier for them to catch prey in the sea.

　　Fu Zhixu had just picked him up from the bathtub in a princess-like posture. The palm of his hand that was holding the fish’s tail was almost completely in contact with the scales, and there were several bloody marks on the palm of his hand.

　　Fortunately, Yu Yuan reacted quickly and the cut was not too deep.

　　The pain dissipated some of his drunkenness, but he was not particularly drunk to begin with, and he knew what he was doing, and it was all completely voluntary.

　　Only the first few ‘sorry’ I uttered when I rushed into the bathroom were somewhat controlled by alcohol.

　　Yu Yuan called the robot butler, who brought iodine and gauze, and helped Fu Zhixu treat the wound on his palm neatly and efficiently.

　　Fu Zhixu obediently stretched out his hand to cooperate.

　　Yu Yuan couldn’t help but ask the system in his mind: “When will my spiritual power be restored?”

　　If only his original spiritual power was still there… He could heal this minor injury directly without the need for iodine gauze.

　　The system comforted him: [Don’t worry, don’t worry. The main system said it will be arranged at the most appropriate time. It also needs to be rationalized, otherwise it will disrupt the order of this world.]

　　It is understandable. After all, it is too surreal for a mermaid who was originally only E-level to suddenly become SSS-level. He might even be captured for some weird research, which would only cause more trouble.

　　Yu Yuan just complained.

　　After treating his wound, Fu Zhixu went back to the bathroom to wash up briefly, changed into clean pajamas, and the smell of alcohol on his body became much lighter.

　　After tossing and turning for such a long time, stimulated by the pain in my hands, I washed my face again and my mind became a little clearer.

　　He actually really likes the feeling of being half asleep and half awake after being drunk. His body is under his control, but not completely. This feeling is different from being unable to act, but it is very similar. The only difference is that in this play, he is playing “himself”.

　　When he came back, the essential oil on Yu Yuan’s tail had almost dried up.
