pure white believer

Nan Ting didn't react immediately.The water in the bathtub was very cold, and he still subconsciously stretched his tail towards the heat source, curled it up twice, made sure that the other party would not escape from it, and finally lay down satisfied.

Cold water ran over his face.The heat subsided little by little.

After about ten seconds, Nan Ting felt cold all over, and suddenly opened his eyes in the water: "...?"

The three words "estrous period" turned and turned in his mind, and he finally remembered the original meaning of these three words.

Nan Ting didn't understand why the other party suddenly wanted to ask such a question. After all, these three words were extremely far away from him. He knew from a very young age that he was destined not to have——

Wait a minute.

Reason struggled in his body, struggling to regain control of his thoughts.

——He just regained his normal body a few weeks ago.

Normal body, human legs that can grow normally, can speak freely.

It also naturally means that, like any of his kind, he will usher in the second differentiation period, under the urging of hormones, to find a suitable mate.

Nan Ting was stunned for a long time, but his first reaction was still negative: "Are you... talking about me?"

"Who else could it be."

"But, I...?" Nan Ting looked at the other party in a daze, and retorted instinctively, "I'm not. I don't have one."

"..."

Wen Zhen didn't say anything, just raised his right hand and waved it towards Nanting.

Only then did Nan Ting realize that his tail was still wrapped in someone else's hands.

Nan Ting: "."

He drew his tail back and splashed the water all over the place. Jianwen Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, straightened his back quickly, and sat upright in the water, far away from the other party. to the wall.

Still muttering about trying to justify, he put his hands on his forehead indiscriminately, even though he didn't know what it meant: "...I should be sick."

"You said just now that you were not sick." Wen Zhen exposed him coldly.

"..." Nan Ting couldn't make it up anymore, his raised hand was still in the air, "Can you leave me alone for a while? I, feel a little uncomfortable."

He was indeed not feeling well, and he felt inexplicably panicked, and felt at a loss when he was looked at by the other party.

Wen Zhen's gaze lowered, passing over his nervously trembling hands.

Those beautiful golden eyes were looking at him helplessly at the moment, clean and clear, and the emotions in the eyes could be seen at a glance.

Much like when they first met.It's unbearable.

"Let's rest first." He said, standing up from Nan Ting, "If you feel uncomfortable, please call me."

After Wen Zhen closed the door and went out, Nan Ting immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to support his head, his tail slapped the water anxiously.

second differentiation period.He desperately searched for relevant content in his memory, but he could only find sporadic memories. He only knew that this was a period of time when the mermaids wanted to find a spouse for themselves.In addition, he didn't even know that he would have specific symptoms during this period, let alone the corresponding solutions.

Does the arrival of the differentiation period necessarily mean finding a mate?There is no relevant content in the knowledge that Nanting has come into contact with. After all, the structure of human beings is very different from them, and they will not have such a period.

Fortunately, he didn't struggle with it for too long, because his fever subsided after an hour.

So Nan Ting comforted himself that there was nothing to fear during the differentiation period.

Compared to this, he was more worried about 241's tailgating, worried that she would suddenly appear a week later and force him to make a choice.

His normal body temperature lasted until he boarded the secret ferry and made his way back to the island without incident.

Having not seen the glass room for a long time, Nan Ting felt a little kind for a while.

Before that, his knowledge of this home was limited to the water tank. Although he could see the panorama of the rooms through the transparent walls, he had not actually been to those rooms.

So much so that he stood at the door of the house, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

Wen Zhen entered the study room first.After a while, when he returned to the living room, he found that Nan Ting had built a stool and was trying to jump into the water tank.

Wen Zhen: "..."

He walked over, lifted the man off without any effort, and threw him on the sofa.

Nan Ting was a little dissatisfied: "What's wrong?"

"What are you doing in the water tank?"

"Hmm..." Nan Ting paused, covering up the uneasiness in his heart, "It's hot."

He was talking about the weather, but Wen Zhen raised his eyes and looked at him: "Isn't it alright?"

"?"

"sick."

Nan Ting: "..."

He knew in his heart that it wasn't a disease at all, so he got stuck, he hesitated for a long time and said "Okay".

Wen Zhen didn't bother to expose him at all.

A few days ago, I asked him, "Will you forgive me for lying to you?", but today he began to lie again. If he hadn't looked at me with that kind of pitiful eyes, he would have...

Nothing.

Wen Zhen withdrew his extra thoughts, looked at Nan Ting who was obediently sitting on the sofa in a trance after being dragged off the water tank by him, and thought.

"Then don't go into the tank again," he said.

"why?"

"Because I want you to stay with me."

Nan Ting was puzzled: "Isn't it the same in the water tank?"

"Different."

"What's the difference?"

Nan Ting was sincerely asking, but Wen Zhen stretched out his hand, stopped in front of him, and then dragged him to his side.

"This way I can hug you as soon as I reach out." He said.

Nan Ting was stunned for a moment.

When he was in a daze, those hands were withdrawn from his body.So Nan Ting was stunned again, and turned to glance at the other party quietly.Wen Zhen was still expressionless as before, and he didn't smile, which made him shudder inexplicably.

"……Oh."

It seems reasonable, and it seems unreasonable.

Nan Ting thought for a while, but he really couldn't understand the other party's thoughts, so he simply gave up, and leaned on the soft sofa cushion, holding the pillow in his hand, and continued to stare blankly at the air.

Ever since he had a fever that day, or in other words, since 241 came, he has been in an unspeakable emotion.

It was evening when Nan Ting completely realized that something was wrong with him.Wen Zhen asked him what he wanted to eat, and he said it casually, and then Wen Zhen went into the kitchen, leaving him alone in the living room.

He only sat for a short while before he started to feel unwell, his heart was empty, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the kitchen, and only after seeing Wen Zhen's figure did he feel a little better.

In fact, he understood what he was upset about.It is nothing more than that he already has the answer in his heart——

He must leave.

Before 241 appeared before his eyes again.

This decision came naturally to him.No why, no why.

All he knew was that he was afraid.

Nan Ting understood that since he decided to leave, the sooner he left, the better. 241 is probably nearby, and she may show up at any time without keeping her promise.

But it is not easy to leave in front of Wen Zhen.For several days afterward, he wandered in the glass room, walking aimlessly through each room, as if he was looking for something, but his brain seemed to stop thinking, and it just drove him to walk in the room mechanically.

In the end, Nan Ting was attracted by a stack of photos in Wen Zhen's study.

The top one is very familiar, it is the one he took with the other party before, in the photo he is smiling happily with the corners of his mouth raised, and the two of them are crowded together in the small frame.

Wen Zhen developed this photo and put it here.

Nan Ting stared at the group photo for a while, and smiled involuntarily.

Then, by a strange coincidence, he took this photo out of the stack of photos, put it in his pocket, and tiptoed away from the study like a thief.

—When he left tonight, he wanted to take it with him.

However, that night, Nan Ting woke up hot and restless.

After he opened his eyes, he stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, then his whole body froze suddenly, and he woke up completely.

A voice in his heart said, it's over.

He made up his mind to leave secretly in the middle of the night, but before that, he unexpectedly fell asleep at some point.

And as soon as he sat up from the bed, his head began to dizzy——

The fever that had left him earlier returned, more violently than the last time.Nan Ting struggled to get out of the bed, but unexpectedly his legs went limp just after he took a step, and he almost fell forward, when he subconsciously reached out to grab something, he knocked something over, and it swept across the floor.

With such a loud commotion, Wen Zhen must have already woken up.

Nan Ting thought desperately.

But compared to this, what made him more desperate was his body.

The previous fever was probably just a warning, just like a weak pain signal from the human body before a serious illness.

He didn't take it to heart, and naively thought that the so-called "differentiation period" had simply passed.

Nan Ting took another two steps forward.All the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away, his body seemed to be floating in mid-air, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on cotton.Uneasy and intolerable emotions kept fermenting in the bottom of my heart.Instinct wanted to drive him to do something, but he was at a loss.

Before reaching the door of the room, Nan Ting couldn't stop panting.He held onto the door frame, bowed his head and paused for a while, then turned his head to look at the room where Wen Zhen was.

Then, he woke up instantly.

— The room was empty.

Wen Zhen is not at home.

This is his perfect chance to escape.

The sudden joy revived him.Nan Ting gritted his teeth, opened the door and walked out.There was chaos in his mind, he only knew that he had to move forward and get out of here.The symptoms of the differentiation stage became more and more serious. He never knew that he could suffer so badly. It was as if he was thrown into a fire and burned. The flames moved up inch by inch along his body, almost devouring him——

"Where are you going?"

A familiar voice sounded in the darkness.close at hand.

Nan Ting was startled suddenly, the hand holding on to the wall slipped down, and his body, which had no strength at all, fell limply forward, and was caught by a pair of hands as if prepared.

"what happened?"

Wen Zhen hugged the trembling and enthusiastic man in his arms, patted him on the back lightly, and asked in a knowingly, even slightly imperceptibly harsh tone.

"I'm a little……"

Nan Ting was already unable to complete a sentence.

Panting with difficulty, he leaned on Wen Zhen's shoulder, completely forgetting that he was preparing to escape at the moment, and followed his instinct to stick close to Wen Zhen.

"I thought you were already well." Wen Zhen said lightly, without even any emotional ups and downs in his tone.

Nan Ting was about to cry: "...I feel uncomfortable."

Wen Zhen lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes filled with dark and unclear emotions.

He let go of the other person a little bit, just about to continue: "You..."

All the rest of the words stuck in his throat.

The person in his arms tightly grasped his collar, finally stabilized his figure, raised his head, trembling, barely reached his chin, and touched it with his lips indiscriminately.

The author has something to say:

There should be another one tonight
