MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 23
When Duan Zhen walked to the reef, Li Xi was already sitting on it, half leaning against the rock wall, his tail slapping the water, splashing a few drops of water, reflecting dazzling and colorful light in the sun.
Looking at him, it seems that the flow of time has slowed down.
"Brother Duan." Hearing his footsteps, Li Xi turned around and smiled at him, even the brows were full of happiness.
Duan Zhen hummed and walked over: "Is there anything you want to say?"
The corner of Li Xi's mouth pressed down: "Can't you find Brother Duan if you don't have anything to do?"
He bit his lip, and the young man who was still high-spirited just now seemed to have turned into the timid child before: "This world is not good at all. The ocean is very dark and empty. There is nothing but myself and the fish."
"Aren't there other mermaids?" Duan Zhen was taken aback.
"Yes, but I only met occasionally. The taskers this time seem to be very scattered. I have been swimming in the ocean, but I haven't seen them." Li Xi held Duan Zhen's hand: "Can you tell me Speak, the sea is too lonely, just staying for a while feels uncomfortable."
Duan Zhen hesitated for a moment.
If the ocean is really as Li Xi said, it is indeed not a good place. He may have been used to mermaids for a long time, but Li Xi is a newcomer and has a timid personality. It is normal to feel scared when he is alone in the ocean.
As always, he took the initiative to find a good reason for Li Xi, found a clean place to sit beside Li Xi, and whispered: "Okay."
The so-called clean place was of course cleaned out by Li Xi himself, and the distance to him was not too far or close, so Duan Zhen really took the bait.
Li Xi blinked her eyes, moved her body happily and squeezed to sit next to Duan Zhen, hugged his arm intimately, and her naked skin immediately stuck to the man's arm.
Fortunately, he was wearing long sleeves, otherwise Duan Zhen felt that he might not be as calm as he is now. However, he still wanted to pull his arm out of Li Xi's embrace, and tried a little harder, but not only failed, but the other party hugged him even tighter.
Duan Zhen looked down at him, met Li Xi's pitiful eyes, paused for a while, and acquiesced to his actions.
Li Xi immediately curled his lips happily, and began to talk about what he did today.
In the beginning, I was swimming around looking for someone, and then I found the shore, and after seeing Duan Zhen, I started wandering around looking for someone again. These things are very boring, just listening to know how boring and lonely it is to be alone in the ocean. It is estimated that the mermaid's skills were honed by Li Xi during these times.
At the boring place, Li Xi only said a few words, and then mentioned that strange mermaid.
"This mermaid kingdom is actually quite interesting." Li Xi laughed: "According to what he said, mermaids are all about beauty, as long as they look good, they will be favored by the sea god, and they can enjoy the highest honor and resources in the kingdom."
Duan Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Are you only looking at the appearance?"
"Probably." Li Xi played with his hands, pinched the man's joints with his fingertips, and kneaded gently: "Because I'm not a real mermaid, so I don't know if the Sea God's favor he said is a vain name or It has other effects."
Duan Zhen withdrew his hand indifferently.
Li Xi quickly changed to a QWQ expression, but it didn't make the other party change his mind.
He had no choice but to continue in a lonely way: "The mermaid also said that I can go to the kingdom to be the queen, or even the king, but I rejected him."
He desperately hinted at Duan Zhen: "Don't you want to ask me why I refused?"
Duan Zhen felt that there was a pitfall in this question, but seeing the other party's appearance, he still asked, "Why?"
"Because I told him that I have someone I like, and that person is a human being, so I can't be the king of the mermaid." When Li Xi said this, he kept staring into Duan Zhen's eyes.
There was a slight ripple in those ancient well-like black eyes, like a small drop of dew dripping into the water, very light and hard to detect. But when Li Xi saw it, his heart was instantly filled with joy.
He is not a patient hunter, he is willing to cover up all the bad places and approach step by step just for Duan Zhen.
This discovery made him speechless for a moment, and then he continued: "I also found out the way to turn humans into mermaids through this, and other mermaids don't seem to reject this matter, so maybe I can ask them for help in the future. "
According to the beauty control standard of the Mermaid Kingdom, he would not be rejected when he went to find someone.
Duan Zhen hummed.
"Also, I suspect that the taskers on the island have other bargaining chips in their hands, otherwise they couldn't hold on until the end before agreeing to cooperate." Li Xi quietly leaned into his ear and lowered his voice: "Brother Duan, please go Find out."
As he got closer, Duan Zhen frowned, and turned his head to tell him whether he could kiss or not, but just as he turned his head, he felt a light kiss land on the tip of his nose.
Those lips are soft and cool, and the fleeting feeling is like snowflakes falling.
He froze there for a moment.
Li Xi's Adam's apple moved up and down, before he could react, he kissed him next to his cheek, this time without Duan Zhen throwing it, he jumped back into the sea with a swish, swam half a meter away, making sure Duan Zhen couldn't catch it Seeing him, he said: "I have traveled a lot of places to find clues, just take it as a reward, Brother Duan, don't be angry."
He deliberately used cute particles.
After finishing speaking, he plunged into the water, and the moment the raised tail fin appeared, a few drops of water fell on Duan Zhen's face, and the cold feeling was very similar to the kiss just now.
Duan Zhen stood there for a while, covering his face with one hand, and took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. He couldn't believe that he was really disturbed by a kiss just now.
Even if he looked mature now, he was a child, as old as Zizhuo, how could he have such a bad reaction.
Li Xi's side was not as calm as he showed, when he got a little farther away from Duan Zhen, he went crazy as a whole fish, rolling and spinning in the sea, his tail wagging almost to the sky.
It's time to kiss! Kissed the small round mole, and also kissed the cheek, and completed two phased goals at once!
He was as excited as a silly fish, finally stopped and leaned against the coral to calm down.
Although it succeeded this time, it was just taking advantage of Duan Zhen's unpreparedness. Next time, the other party must be on guard. Maybe he will alienate him later. He must find a way to avoid this. It is best to let him in this world. Duan Zhen was tempted by him.
Li Xi licked his lips, his eyes showed a bit of cunning.
When he was thinking about the problem, there was a slight movement in the turbid sea water caused by his agitation just now. It seemed that something crawled out of the sandy bottom and landed on the edge of his tail fin.
Li Xi lowered his head carelessly, a small palm-sized octopus lightly touched his tail fin with its small tentacles.
This little octopus is black, with several blue-green spots of different sizes on its tentacles, which glow faintly on the dark bottom. On the round head, two **** pearl-like eyes looked over cautiously.
Seeing Li Xi looking at him, he seemed shy, waving his tentacles wildly, almost tying himself into a knot.
Li Xi raised his eyebrows, seemed a little interested, and bent down to pick him up from below. Those little tentacles immediately wrapped around his wrist and sucked it gently.
"Your eyes are somewhat similar to Duan Duan." Li Xi thought thoughtfully: "But his eyes are prettier than yours."
Although it's not the nature of looking for a substitute, but this little octopus is still a bit cute, so he reached out to touch the other's round head, acquiescing to him wrapping around his wrist.
