Jiang Chen returned to the second floor. The room was quiet. He pushed open the door and saw Ye Rou sitting on the bed with her back to him. Her long silver-white hair cascaded down, brighter than the moonlight in the night sky.

She raised her hand and seemed to be rubbing her eyes.

"You're back."

Ye Rou's original voice was just like her, sweet and soft. After she turned into a mermaid, her voice changed subtly and became even more beautiful.

Ye Rou turned her head, her fox eyes were slack and watery with a hint of sleepiness, but the red that was spreading in her eyes was particularly dazzling.

Jiang Chen frowned and walked forward, half-knelt in front of her, and carefully checked her eyes.

He was not mistaken, Ye Rou's eyes were indeed red.

"What happened to the eyes?"

He raised his hand and just as he was about to touch the eyelashes that were curled like crow feathers, he suddenly stopped, "Do your eyes hurt?"

Ye Rou shook her head obediently, "It doesn't hurt."

"Why are your eyes so red?"

"Oh." Ye Rou said casually, "I think it was me who rubbed it."

She raised her big silver tail and said as a matter of course: "I want to become a mermaid and try to see if my tears can turn into pearls."

Unfortunately, I couldn't cry. I rubbed my eyes and thought about sad things, but it was no use.

"..."

Jiang Chen sighed, then got up and went to the bathroom.

The bathroom was a mess, as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind.

The bathtub broke in two and water was flowing everywhere.

I need to find someone to repair the bathroom again.

Ye Rou was bored and started to study her big tail. She pinched the shark silk on both sides of the tail. It was so thin that she felt like pinching a cloud, and it felt smoother than silk.

The warm towel was wrapped around Ye Rou's eyes, and darkness fell before her eyes.

She was not panicked at all and raised her head obediently to make it easier for Jiang Chen to move.

A hot towel was placed on the eyes, moistening every pore. Ye Rou closed her eyes comfortably, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Jiang Chen took away the towel and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah." Ye Rou nodded.

Jiang Chen put the towel back in the bathroom. When he came back and saw Ye Rou making eyes, he immediately knew that she had not given up yet.

Although I don’t know how Ye Rou turned into a mermaid, it’s impossible for her to be so powerful as to replicate all the abilities of a mermaid.

But he was afraid that Ye Rou would be upset if he said it directly, so he leaned over, held up the big silver-white tail with his strong arms, stuffed her into the quilt, and coaxed her, "Wife, it's late, go to bed."

Ye Rou fluttered around on the bed, found a comfortable position, and covered herself with the quilt.

Jiang Chen stood by the bed and looked at his wife worriedly.

I don’t know whether his wife is considered a human or a fish now.

If you were a fish, could you sleep on a bed?

"Will it be uncomfortable?"

"No problem." Ye Rou lifted the quilt to her chest, put her hands down and closed her eyes.

The silver-white hair was scattered messily on the pillow, shining with an extremely lustrous silver light under the light, making Ye Rou's skin look like cream, without a single flaw. Her thick and curled eyelashes covered her eyes, making her look pretty and well-behaved.

A corner of the quilt beside her was lifted, and a little cool air poured in. Ye Rou opened her eyes, turned her eyeballs slightly, and stared at the man who was about to climb onto the bed.

"what are you doing?"

Jiang Chen said as a matter of course: "Go to sleep."

Ye Rou snorted softly.

Jiang Chen has not yet let go of the fact that he lied to her. As long as he doesn't admit his mistake, she will not forgive him.

Big Tail wrapped in a quilt fanned Jiang Chen.

"Go sleep downstairs."

"Wife." Jiang Chen was reluctant to leave.

He lowered his voice and acted pitifully, trying to win Ye Rou's sympathy.

Ye Rou raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, indicating that she would not fall for it, and she was determined to drive the man away.

Jiang Chen walked very slowly and looked back every few steps, trying to make Ye Rou change her mind.

Unfortunately, he was too tall, too strong, and had a fierce look. He could not act weak and sympathetic no matter what. He walked all the way to the door, and Ye Rou did not try to stop him.

Jiang Chen put his hand on the door handle and looked back at Ye Rou's deep eyebrows, which were filled with condensed melancholy.

It feels awkward to see Lu Zhishen trying to pretend to be Lin Daiyu.

Ye Rou was afraid of being exposed again, so she closed her eyes and pulled the quilt to cover the smile on her lips, muffling her voice under the quilt.

"Good night, Jiang Chen."

"Good night-"

Jiang Chen's voice was particularly reluctant. He pressed down the door handle, pushed the door open and stood outside.

Standing on the second floor and looking down, the first floor was pitch black, like a gaping abyss, just waiting to swallow Jiang Chen up if he walked down.

It's strange, just a door separates you from the real and warm world, and suddenly you walk into a cold and lonely hell.

Jiang Chen abandoned the more comfortable sofa and moved a camp bed to sleep outside the bedroom door.

-

Ye Rou's breathing was heavy and difficult, and her whole body felt as if it was on fire. It was even more uncomfortable than the fever she had that day.

She was like a fish out of water, emitting an extreme itchy feeling of thirst from inside her body.

While she was drowsy, she dreamed of endless clear sea water and longed to dive into it and swim freely.

Water, give me water.

In extreme discomfort, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, but did not flow into her temples. Instead, they turned into pearls and fell along her hair onto the bed.

Just when Ye Rou felt that she was going to be burned to death, a cool feeling rushed into her throat and watered her internal organs that were burning from the dry cough.

Soon, the coolness spread to her legs, and her tail, which was so dry that it was about to crack, was moistened by the water. Ye Rou relaxed her brows, and her tail, which was curled up in pain, stretched out.

She wanted to shake off her sleepiness and see what was going on, but after struggling for a long time, she fell even deeper into sleep.

The sky outside suddenly brightened. Ye Rou was startled by the light and opened her eyes.

She was sleepy and her consciousness was still a little hazy. Her gaze moved slowly, finally landing on the tall figure sitting against the head of the bed with his eyes closed.

He was wearing last night's clothes, with one of his long legs draped over the bed and his big hand resting on the side, holding a pink towel.

His long eyebrows slanted into his temples, his profile was deep, his brow bones were high, and there was dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he slept uneasily, with his brows furrowed even in his sleep.

Seeing that he was not sleeping well, Ye Rou wanted to make way for him to lie down.

As soon as she moved, her arm was hit by something and she hissed in pain.

Ye Rou lowered her head and saw the round pearls rolling down on both sides, large and small in number.

It turns out that mermaids’ tears can really turn into pearls.

Ye Rou didn't have time to sigh.

Because Jiang Chen suddenly took action.

Jiang Chen didn't even open his eyes. He struggled to sit up and bent down holding the towel in his hand.

There was a sound of water coming from under the invisible bed, where there should be a basin of water.

Jiang Chen filled the pink towel with water and wrung it out slightly. He then skillfully picked up Ye Rou's big tail and carefully wiped her with the towel.

He wiped it from top to bottom very carefully, and even though he was so sleepy that he didn't even open his eyes, his movements were already very skillful.

The areas wiped with the wet towel became comfortable and the dry itching was relieved a lot.

Only then did Ye Rou understand.

She felt uncomfortable last night because of lack of water.

Jiang Chen must have been woken up by her and found that she was uncomfortable, so he stayed by her bedside all night, wiping her tail with a wet towel from time to time to relieve her discomfort caused by lack of water.

Ye Rou looked at the time. The mermaid experience card was not for one day but for twelve hours. It started at eight o'clock last night and would end in half an hour.

She swept the pearls away, wanting Jiang Chen to lie down and have a good sleep.

Thin white fingers carefully pried open Jiang Chen's hands, trying to pull the towel out of his hands.

As soon as he moved, Jiang Chen woke up in shock.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Seeing him rushing to get some water, Ye Rou quickly held him down, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his shoulders back against the bed, and subconsciously rubbed Ye Rou's long hair with his big hands. He said in a lazy and casual voice: "It's not uncomfortable, sleep a little longer."

Ye Rou had slept enough, so she took Jiang Chen's hand and pulled him onto the bed.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes in surprise.

Ye Roucai didn't forgive him, she was just a little bit soft-hearted.

She snorted, "You are allowed to sleep in the bed for a while."

Jiang Chen chuckled and reached out to hold the person in his arms.

"You sleep with me."

Ye Rou was about to scold him for being too demanding, but her heavy breathing hit her collarbone and Jiang Chen had already fallen asleep.

From this angle, the dark circles under his eyes were particularly noticeable.

Ye Rou didn't wake him up in the end. She found a comfortable position in his arms and lay there quietly without moving.

There is habitual familiarity and dependence between the actions.
