ARC 7 RE : I AM NOT A MERMAN

Chapter 168: Back To That Key Moment
   

Five months later, Shang Ke started bringing along the baby merman into the sea to play. Merfolks and dolphins were similar, they could not stay underwater for long and had to emerge to breath. But for the little merman who had still not learned how to swim, he loved playing with water. If no one was watching him, he was likely to drown himself.

The growth rate of merfolk was slower than humans and they were also smaller. But their limbs were very strong and had high adaptability. Their main weakness was their inability to stay out of the water long or they’ll dry out and have their skin chapped.

“Play time’s over, little idiot. We need to go back.” Shang Ke caught the merman by the tail and prevented him from going wild any longer.

The little merman waved his tail in an attempt to escape Shang Ke. But he discovered the futility of his actions and gave up struggling, allowing the waves to move his body as it pleased.

This little guy, he didn’t learn much but he learned how to pretend to be dead pretty well. In a good mood, Shang Ke picked him up and slipped him a conch, “Sleep with this, you can hear the waves.”

The dolphin Waves in the distance thought he was being summoned and eagerly swam over. But on his way, he was caught in a tide and almost got beached.

Shang Ke reminded him again, “How many times did I remind you? Don’t get so close to the beach.”

Waves flipped over onto his back, gloomily pretending to be a corpse as he blew bubbles.

“An Song will come by in a bit to play with you. Remember, be nice to him.” Shang Ke added. Ever since Shang Ke took over Qin Yuan’s schedule, An Song obtained a lot of free time to come over to Waves and build up their relationship. But Waves always liked to tease him and leave him in a very sorry figure. However An Song had a very good temper so he never minded.

Waves was still blowing bubbles, who knows if he heard him or not.

Shang Ke left with the little merman back home and placed him in a mini cabin. Within it was a large and round waterbed surrounded by seawater. In the air was a spiraling slide and a small boat made of special materials and many other small toys. Temperature could be adjusted automatically and lights were also automatic. Movies and music could also be played here.

After settling the baby down, Shang Ke turned around to find Qin Yuan standing right behind him, his eyes reserved. He frequently showed this kind of expression lately, a depressed appearance that desired to say something but at the same time didn’t dare to.

Shang Ke had asked An Song about it, but didn’t learn anything from him. Looks like he could only throw a straight pitch and confront Qin Yuan. Otherwise, seeing him with this kind of depressing appearance all the time while also being so energetic in bed gave him rather sour feelings.

“Qin Yuan, I’ve been dreaming a lot lately.” Shang Ke sat on the bed while hugging his dolphin plushie as he seriously spoke to Qin Yuan.

The moment Qin Yuan heard “dreaming” he asked grimly, “What kind of dreams?”

Shang Ke smiled at him, “You can tell me what your dream is, and I’ll consider telling you mine.”

Qin Yuan fell silent and did not reply.

“You don’t want to tell me?” Shang Ke’s face fell with disappointment.

“My dream… isn’t nice.” Qin Yuan’s gaze was dark.
