Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 233: Extra: Little Mermaid (Part 11)

Hearing Ding Yixin praise him like this, Rong Xingyu immediately forgot his sadness.

He could not help proudly swaying his tail.

He also felt that his fishtail was the most beautiful of all~

But before Rong Xingyu could revel in his pride for long, his fishtail was still faintly burning as if reminding him of something.

Rong Xingyu bit his lip, suddenly remembering that his birthday seemed to be approaching soon.

After this birthday, he would officially become an adult, and the first crisis he would have to face would probably be the heat that came with coming of age.

...

Ding Yixin sat in his office, not knowing how many times he had lowered his head to check his wristwatch throughout the afternoon.

By the final time, Ding Yixin finally stood up.

He grabbed the military coat hanging on the rack and hurried out before even putting it on properly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As he walked, Ding Yixin fastened the buttons on his sleeves, while still remembering to nod in greeting to the guards.

After he had gone far away, the two guards standing outside the door quietly exchanged a glance.

Both of them saw an expression of "hard to put into words" in the other’s eyes.

"How many times has this been?" the guard on the left lowered his voice and asked his partner.

The other remained silent for a few seconds, as if recalling something, then a somewhat strange expression appeared on his face.

"It seems like the fifth time."

"My god," the younger guard who had spoken first exclaimed softly. "General Ding, who’s always been so strict with himself, actually left early and he’s done it five days in a row!"

The guard who said this was Ding Yixin’s di -hard fan.

He had joined the military in the first place because he was influenced by Ding Yixin.

Being able to work in such close proximity to his idol had made the guard so excited that he had trouble sleeping for several nights.

After officially taking up the post, his admiration for Ding Yixin only grew deeper.

Because even in front of the guards, Ding Yixin never put on airs at all and was extremely approachable.

More importantly, General Ding had always been extremely strict with himself.

Even though there was no real need, he still adhered to all kinds of discipline, such as never being late and never leaving early.

Until five days ago.

And now, General Ding had already left early for the fifth consecutive day!

The guard on the other side also knew about his colleague’s extraordinary admiration for General Ding, and initially thought that his idol filter might crack because of this.

Instead, he heard him mutter worriedly to himself, "Did something happen at General Ding’s home?"

"..."

Although it was not appropriate to casually discuss a superior officer’s private matters, the other guard still could not help grumbling inwardly.

Maybe there was some little enchantress waiting for General Ding at home and urging him to return early!

Right after thinking that, he shook his head hard, unable to help feeling a bit disgusted with himself.

How could he think like that? Was General Ding that kind of person?!

What the guard did not know, however, was that by sheer coincidence, he had almost hit the truth.

Wasn’t there indeed a little "enchantress" with a fishtail waiting for Ding Yixin at home?

Ding Yixin did not realize that his pace had unconsciously quickened.

It was not until he pushed open the door and saw that familiar figure that his heart finally settled.

He quietly let out a breath of relief, paused at the doorway to steady his breathing a little, and only then continued walking inside.

When Rong Xingyu heard Ding Yixin’s footsteps, he turned around in delight.

He had originally been playing a recently popular MOBA game, but upon seeing Ding Yixin, Rong Xingyu immediately tossed the phone aside onto a nearby surface and swished his tail as he swam toward him.

Only the phone was left behind, still continuously emitting the in-game "requesting backup" signal.

And the teammate who had just been carrying the entire match suddenly went offline.

Rong Xingyu swam to the edge of the glass tank and softly rested his arms along the rim.

His tone was bright and cheerful, and as he looked at Ding Yixin, his eyes shimmered with light. "General Ding, you’re back!"

Ding Yixin took a few steps up onto the platform that had been built beside it and sat down, bending his long legs.

Hearing this, Ding Yixin raised his hand and gently stroked Rong Xingyu’s hair, letting out a low hum in response.

Rong Xingyu took the opportunity to nuzzle his head affectionately against Ding Yixin’s hand, the movement carrying an indescribable sense of dependence.

Over the past few days, Rong Xingyu still had not been able to control the transformation of his fishtail into human legs, and because of this, he could only stay at home and go nowhere else.

Although Ding Yixin had lifted the restrictions on Rong Xingyu’s phone usage, allowing him to play whatever games he wanted, and the two of them would occasionally video call on their phones,

Rong Xingyu still missed Ding Yixin very much.

He even wished he could turn himself into something tiny and crawl into Ding Yixin’s pocket, so that Ding Yixin could carry him along to the military headquarters.

Once Ding Yixin returned home, Rong Xingyu wanted to cling to him every moment, behaving unbelievably well and obediently.

Ding Yixin did not say anything on the surface, but he was actually quite pleased with Rong Xingyu’s especially clingy demeanor.

Rong Xingyu was somewhat bored staying at home, but fortunately, Ding Yixin had specially customized an enormous "glass fish tank" just for him.

Calling it a "fish tank" was already rather inappropriate, it was more like the kind of giant glass enclosure found in an aquarium.

When it was first installed, everyone had been puzzled as to why Ding Yixin suddenly wanted to build such a massive glass tank in his home.
