On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

When the two got along for nearly a month, Qin Zhan began to gradually care about Avicia's diet and daily life, showing a look of caring about him, such as preparing a cup of hot milk when Avicia was doing experiments late Send it up, or urge him to take a break while he's working too hard.

Of course, Avicia, who is at work, doesn't like being disturbed by others, so he even got angry at Qin Zhan once or twice for this reason.This was a good opportunity for a bitter trick. Qin Zhan twisted the soft flesh on the inside of his arm so hard that his eyes were red with tears, and then he turned and left without saying a word.

But in the next few days, Qin Zhan still insisted on a cup of hot milk every night, and Avicia's attitude gradually softened, and he would always drink the milk in front of him so that he could drink it immediately. The cup is taken away.

Under the influence of these small details, Avicia began to allow him to take Xiao K to go out alone. Although he still limited his time outside, this change also showed that Avicia began to trust him, which was a good start.

This morning, Avicia took Qin Zhan to the research institute.

It seems that not many people know about Avicia's 'Mermaid Project', because his colleagues don't even know who Qin Zhan is, but they are very enthusiastic about him because of his appearance.

After Avicia gave him a cup of coffee, he changed into a white coat and went to work. They have a large laboratory, and many people in white coats are inside. There are only a few girls doing clerical work outside.Qin Zhan wandered around while drinking coffee. Most of the research institutes were made of white and metal materials. Coupled with the central air conditioner with sufficient cooling efficiency, the whole building gave off a cold feeling.

Qin Zhan walked in the corridor, with various offices on both sides. He carefully looked at the names of those rooms, and then walked into the storage room for experimental items at the end of the corridor.

The storage room is very empty. There are rows of iron cages on the left and right sides, and there are many different kinds of pets inside. The cages on the left are all small creatures, such as animals such as white mice and frogs, and the cages on the right are medium and large cats. cats and dogs.As soon as these fluffy little guys saw someone coming in, they moved towards the cage. Qin Zhan even saw a panda inside!

Chubby fat body, round ears, familiar black eyes and white belly... Although the size is only half of a normal panda, it's probably because... a minor?

Qin Zhan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The research institute actually used national treasures for experiments? !

He approached the cage, and the panda also grabbed the iron pillar with its two paws and approached him. A round face was pressed against the pillar and squeezed into a pie face. The round black eyes made it look very simple and honest. .

Qin Zhan tentatively reached out and touched the fur on the panda's face. The little guy was very happy, and stretched out his tongue to lick his fingers.Qin Zhan couldn't help laughing, took out the key from the interlayer of the cage, opened the cage door and carried the panda out.

Qin Zhan, who was holding the national treasure, was a little excited. The panda was rubbing back and forth in his arms and coquettishly. The soft and cute appearance made Qin Zhan completely bow down under its pomegranate skirt.

Jia Mo said resentfully: [Ah Zhan, I have been with you for so long, but I am actually no better than a panda doing experiments. 】

[Panda? 】Qin Zhan weighed the little guy in his hand strangely,【It's not called Xiong——】

"Azhan."

Suddenly someone called him outside, Qin Zhan turned around and saw a young man walking in.He didn't know that person, but the familiar disgust and the unusual address in his heart told him that the other person was probably Yuan Xitong.

Yuan Xitong closed the door with his backhand. The storage room for experimental items is one of the few places that is not monitored indoors. Only the wall opposite the door is equipped with video surveillance. The researchers will lock the door after work because no one will want to steal it. A few animals, or even if they were stolen from the institute, they didn't care, they just bought them.

Qin Zhan touched the panda's head, frowned and said, "Why is it you again?"

Yuan Xitong stared at him fixedly, his eyes were almost greedy, Qin Zhan was a little displeased, and took a few steps back holding the panda.

Aware of Qin Zhan's resistance, Yuan Xitong tried hard to control himself to look away, and said softly, "Ah Zhan, I am very worried about you."

Qin Zhan said: "I don't think I have anything to worry about."

"You have a special status this time." Yuan Xitong said, "And that Avicia...is definitely not a kind person."

"Kindness?" Qin Zhan sneered, "Why, do you think you are?"

This harsh and almost unfeeling remark made Yuan Xitong froze all of a sudden. Although this was not the first time, he still couldn't get used to such remark from his lover who had always been gentle and tolerant to him.

"Yes," Yuan Xitong forced a smile, but his hands trembled uncontrollably, "You're right, I... I'm not a good person either."

Qin Zhan glanced at him and said lightly, "I'll go out first if it's okay." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave with the panda in his arms. When he walked to Yuan Xitong, he suddenly heard him say, "Ah Zhan, I can help you."

Qin Zhan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Yuan Xitong, and raised his eyebrows with interest, "For example?"

Yuan Xitong tentatively raised his hand, Qin Zhan still stood there looking at him, Yuan Xitong pursed his lips, and reached out to hug him.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, Yuan Xitong seemed to hesitate for a long time before pressing Qin Zhan's lips. He trembled even more, but his arms around Qin Zhan were tightly bound, as if he was going down. It will disappear in a second.

However, Avicia didn't leave him much time. Yuan Xitong didn't lock it when he came in, so Avicia easily pushed the door and walked in, and then pulled Yuan Xitong away by his collar.

In this life, Yuan Xitong has a normal body shape. Although he is not so strong because he is a science student, he is not a weak chicken who can be pulled casually and staggers back.

It can be seen that Avicia definitely used a lot of strength.

Wearing rimless glasses and looking like an elite, Avicia held Qin Zhan's hand, looked at Yuan Xitong coldly, and said in a gloomy voice that was exactly the same as his expression, "Victor, can you tell me what you were doing just now? do what?"

"Good morning, Dr. McAdoe." Yuan Xitong said hello with a smile. Except for Qin Zhan, there is nothing worth his emotional fluctuations.

Mercado is Avicia's surname. Although Avicia is humble, polite and good-looking, he is not an easy person to get along with—or rather, he is not a popular person. All the girls in the world keep a respectful distance from him.Qin Zhan once turned a corner and asked the reason. The girls just said that Avicia was too strict and not easy to get close to. No one wanted to have any communication with him except work.

So Qin Zhan was more certain of his thoughts. Avicia's tenderness towards him was just a disguise. If the two really broke up in the future, then no one would know what would happen.

Qin Zhan deserted on his own, but the atmosphere on the other side did not ease in the slightest. Avicia stared at Yuan Xitong and repeated word by word, "What were you doing just now?"

With a light smile on Yuan Xitong's face, he said, "Doctor, I think I am right...Il, it was love at first sight."

After the last word fell, Qin Zhan immediately felt that the strength of Avicia's hand holding his wrist was a little stronger, as if he was about to break his wrist bone. He glanced at Avicia in surprise. He has gone through a lot of snake spirit illnesses to get to today, and he can see that the other party is approaching a mental state that is out of control.

But...it's really strange, it's impossible for Avicia to really fall in love with him in just a few days, so why is she acting so caring now?

Is this the so-called possessiveness?Because he was the one who brought Izel from the ocean to the land, and he was the one who took care of the life of the little mermaid, and he even personally led the little mermaid to develop feelings for him, so Izel was not allowed to have any involvement with others .

Qin Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, okay... this is not good, once Avicia breaks out, it will be a real congenital snake spirit disease.

"Ivy," he shook Avicia's hand, "let's go out." Holding the chubby panda with one hand was a bit strenuous.

Avicia looked at Yuan Xitong like a cheetah looking at his food. He sneered and warned, "Victor, don't do anything you regret."

Yuan Xitong looked calm, and he smiled, "Mr. Doctor, I'm afraid there are some things that I can't help myself."

"Ivy," Qin Zhan called again, urging, "Let's go."

Avicia took him back to his personal office, he took Qin Zhan's hand, and wiped his lips vigorously with the other hand.

"Ivy?"

"Il, not just anyone can kiss you." Avicia said, he could no longer hide the anger and sneer in his eyes, "No one but me." He has never liked anyone, and he doesn't know how to What it looks like and feels like, but he is very clear that he doesn't want anyone other than him to touch Izel.

The little prince is his, whether it is life or death, it can only belong to him alone.

Qin Zhan tightened his grip on the panda in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I see."

The displeased look on the little mermaid's face made Avicia react abruptly. He stiffly opened a smiling face and slowed down his voice as much as possible, "I'm sorry, Il, I shouldn't attack you." He saw that Qin Zhan was still holding the panda , the originally compulsive smile couldn't help but become more natural, he asked softly, "Il likes pandas?"

Qin Zhan was puzzled, "Panda Bear?" Isn't this fat man called Panda?

"Yes, pandas." Avicia said, "If Il likes it, I can take it back and raise it. Pandas are very common in hilly and plain areas, so it's not a rare thing."

Qin Zhan bowed his head silently. He had forgotten that this place is not China, not even the earth. The vegetation coverage here is much higher than that of the earth, and there are not many disgusting reptiles. It is a more comfortable place than the earth.

Qin Zhan can never have too many fluffy cute things, so he nodded.

"Okay," Avicia smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "You wait for me here, I will finish the work, and we will go to the cafeteria for lunch later."

The so-called canteen is also the staff canteen, which is a fully automatic service. After ordering, the robot will deliver it to the headquarters and deliver it.Naturally, there is nothing in the cafeteria that a mermaid should eat, so Qin Zhan had a sumptuous meal, including barbecue, salad, and an unknown fried fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without a single bone. , It was tailor-made for Qin Zhan, a serious late-stage lazy cancer.

Avicia quickly settled her share, and then began to shell the Kaka crab for Qin Zhan. The body of the Kaka crab is only the size of a fist, but the volume of the two pliers is almost twice the size of the body, and the inside is full The crab meat smells sweet, and the meat is extremely elastic. Qin Zhan didn't eat much for noon, and he was full just eating barbecue and Kaka crab.

In the afternoon, Avicia took Qin Zhan home directly, and took out four Kaka crabs packed from the cafeteria, one for the panda and the remaining three for Jiamo.The spineless space guardian ate up and down, Qin Zhan saw that Avicia had entered the laboratory again, so he went to the garden to try his luck and see if he could find Knox.

Later, it was Knox who was looking for him—it seemed that Knox was looking for him all the time. Qin Zhan didn’t know where Knox lived. Before, it was him who appeared in the garden not long after the white tiger appeared, and it was the same this time .

Only, this time it was Knox in human form.

The man was wearing ordinary black trousers and a white striped shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing a muscular and smooth arm.

"Hey, Ezel."

Qin Zhan nodded at him, "Knox, go to the swimming pool, I want to soak in the water."

Knox did not object, and the two walked back along the cobblestone path. The sun was just right at this time, and the water in the swimming pool was slightly warmed by the sun. Qin Zhan patted the water surface with his tail boredly, sitting by the pool Knox was used to the fact that he was splashed with water from time to time, so he asked Qin Zhan, "Il, did you go to the institute with the doctor this morning?"

Qin Zhan nodded, and Knox opened his mouth. He actually wanted to ask Qin Zhan if he had seen what Avicia did to other mermaids, but he didn't know how to express it as tactfully as possible.

Qin Zhan glanced sideways at Knox, knowing that he was confused and wanted to ask something, so he chuckled, "I know Ivy is studying mermaids." He lowered his eyes, "I also know what you are thinking, But Ivy is not like that."

"How do you know it's not?" Knox frowned. "El, he—"

"If I say he's not him, then he's not!" Qin Zhan interrupted him impatiently, turning his head uncomfortably, as if telling him, or reminding himself, "Knox, don't you Knowing him, Ivy won't hurt me."

Knox froze, he couldn't help feeling sorry for Izel, and at the same time hated why Avicia would deceive an inexperienced child like this, even though the little mermaid looked like an adult.

"I...well, Il, I won't say it." Knox looked at him, "But Il, if you encounter any trouble, be sure to tell me, and I will help you."

"Help me?" Qin Zhan smiled relaxedly, "Help me what?"

"Anything is fine," Knox said seriously. He couldn't stand by and watch such a pure-hearted man being deceived and doing nothing.

"Okay." Qin Zhan replied, and slapped the water with his tail. The pool water poured by his head made Knox feel a chill in his heart instantly, while thinking helplessly in his heart, maybe this is the etiquette of a mermaid?

Oh...hope that's the best way to represent liking etiquette.

-

It will be Avicia's birthday in a few days, and he doesn't have any close friends, so the only one who can celebrate his birthday is Qin Zhan.So when Mr. Doctor came to the living room after finishing his day's experimental work, what he saw was the messy kitchen, and the panda and Gamo who were busy eating cakes.

Qin Zhan held the plate with the last piece of cake in his hand, and looked at Avicia with embarrassment, "Aiwei, I, I told them not to eat it, but...they didn't stop them in the end..." He whispered, Guiltily averted his eyes.

Avicia's eyes fell on the cake that had no appearance at all. He couldn't express in words how he felt in his heart now. He just felt that he was like an ant falling into the honey full of it. The sweet smell that came made him overwhelmed, but he was addicted uncontrollably, sinking deeper and deeper.

This feeling became more intense after Qin Zhan took out his birthday gift, and it was as irresistible as the rising tide of sea water.

Qin Zhan didn't have extra money to buy gifts and packaging, so he just took the gift out of his pocket very directly - three light blue mermaid scales.

Seeing these three scales, Avicia's reaction was even stronger than when he saw the cake. He stepped forward and clasped Qin Zhan's arm. For the first time, his expression of not changing his expression even before the collapse of Mount Tai was relieved. Emotions other than mild.

Shocked, flustered, angry, worried.

"Where did you come from?!"

Qin Zhan was taken aback, and withdrew his hands in pain, "I...you, don't you like it?" He stared at Avicia with rounded eyes, some hurt and wronged emotions flashed in his eyes, and he withdrew angrily. Hand, and shouted, "If you don't like it, forget it! I picked it up in the garden outside, you... If you don't like it, just throw it away!" After speaking, Qin Zhan really threw the scales out of the window.

Avicia couldn't stop him, he held Qin Zhan's hand again, and looked at him dumbfounded, "Il, I know what it is, and I don't mean to blame you. It's just...how can you tear it up casually? Come down and give the scales away?"

Fish scales are to mermaids what skin is to humans, how painful would it be to tear off a piece of flesh?Avicia still remembered that when Izel was injured and took medicine at the beginning, he always gritted his teeth in pain. The little prince was afraid of pain and suffering, but now he was willing to endure such torture for him.Avicia looked directly at the pair of dark blue eyes that were close at hand, and he could clearly feel that something was slowly melting in his heart, but he didn't want to stop it.

There are many mermaids, but there is only one little prince.

"I didn't give it away casually." Qin Zhan looked at him angrily, "I only give it to Ivy."

"You can't even give it to me." Avicia said, gently hugging the little prince into her arms, "Il, don't do anything to make yourself sad, I will feel bad."

Qin Zhan was silent for a while, and then explained in a low voice, "Little K said...you like studying biology, I thought...I thought you would like..."

"I like it," Avicia said hoarsely, "but that little liking is insignificant compared to you."

Qin Zhan didn't speak anymore. He only cares about one issue now. The doctor has no mermaid who voluntarily donated materials, but the research can't stop here.

So, what's next for him?
