"Even if you're unable to get married, I would still marry you." He mulled over his words for a long time before saying this.

Xue Ling sneered at his words and twisted his head to look at him, finding it funny as he said, "Lou Cen, is your self-awareness that bad? You have already rejected me once. What do you mean by coming to find me now? Our engagement has already been cancelled, and we have nothing to do with each other. You also don't need to say these words to me." The meaning behind his words were very clear. He meant, since there was nothing between them, Lou Cen should just go ahead and get lost.

Lou Cen's eyes narrowed, as he stared at Xue Ling's side profile almost greedily. The words that had been spoken just now were clearly words to terminate their relationship, but there was a sense in his heart that the other party was joking with him. This feeling was very unreasonable, since according to the little merman's words, the courtship he was just about to begin had already failed, but his agitated heart told him that the other party not actually intend to chase him away, but was rather playing with him. It must be that he had made him angry somehow, and as long as he coaxed him a bit everything would be fine.

Following this enigmatic intuition, Lou Cen placed his hand on Xue Ling's head. "Why did you come out of your house so late at night?"

Xue Ling moped, and did not speak.

Lou Cen's movements were very gentle, his hands caressing the ends of his hair, bringing with them a magical ability to soothe. "In a bad mood?"

Xue Ling blinked, and when he realized that his temper could not make the man panic at all, he realized he should change his plan. His eyes reddened again as he lowered his head and clutched at his fishtail skirt. "Am I particularly hard to like..."

Lou Cen was surprised as he replied, "Why do you ask that?"

"You don't like me, and your mother doesn't like me..." He uttered such remarks aggrievedly. "While you were in a coma, she thought of using it as an excuse for me to break off my engagement with you... Am I just so unlikeable that she couldn't even tolerate me wanting to have the title of being your fiancé for a moment longer?" Tears flooded his eyes as his shoulders shook, making him look particularly wronged and pitiful. "Perhaps even mother won't like me anymore in the future, and my two elder brothers and father won't want me anymore... Junjun... Junjun also won't like me... after all, I robbed him of his mother and father for so many years..."

Lou Cen was a little flustered, the little merman had clearly been very energetic and full of spirit when he spoke to him just now, but now he seemed to be carrying a sense that the entire world had abandoned him, making his heart ache unbearably as he also became distressed. "Be good." He reached out his hand to rub his head, speaking as calmly as he could, "You still have me. I won't leave you."

The little merman looked at him through the haze of tears in his eyes, curled his lips, and said, "You were obviously the first to leave."

Lou Cen's heart was going to melt. He squatted down and looked directly at the little mermaid, reaching out to lightly, gently, gather him into his arms. The feeling of finally being close to him was extremely wonderful, and Lou Cen let out a sigh of satisfaction. His hand slid down Xue Ling's back, and he petted his back in comfort, as though comforting him, but also giving him strength and support. "That was my mother's decision, and not what I wanted. I like you very much, like you to the point of madness. As soon as I think of you being with others, I become unable to control my own desire to kill." After Lou Cen spoke, he realized that the person in his arms was a little merman, and his violent words might have frightened him.
