When I woke up, I was raised by a mermaid

Chapter 42

"I, I teach..." Teach you a hammer!

Ruan Chen felt the heat rising from his forehead.

Lux waited quietly for his reply, but the more he was like this, the more Ruan Chen felt that his thoughts were in a mess.

The mermaid saw that his face was blushing as if he was familiar, and couldn't help but smile: "Ruan Ruan, don't be nervous."

Ruan Chen: "..."

Ruan Chen: "I'm not nervous."

Lux gave a "hmm" with a smile: "Then..."

"I was talking nonsense just now!" Ruan Chen interrupted urgently when he saw him open his mouth.

Lux was confused: "Nonsense?"

"...Yes." Ruan Chen tried his best to hold his expression, "I didn't mean to ask you to chase me."

Lux flicked his tail fin: "But I think it makes sense."

Ruan Chen was stunned for a second: "What?"

"Ruan Ruan said just now, the rules for you humans to identify a partner." Lux blinked, "If you don't teach me, I will learn it myself."

"..." Ruan Chen felt that he couldn't continue talking with this mermaid.

He pursed his lips again and again, unable to hold back a word for a long time.

Fortunately, Lux's optical brain popped out suddenly, saying that there was a meeting to be held in the military department, which eased the tense atmosphere in the basement.

The mermaid ended the call with her subordinate, and seemed to have the intention of going back to the topic just now.

Ruan Chen's whole body was numb, and he said, "Go and do your work quickly", then broke away from his hand without looking back, and quickly swam back into the room.

"So soft."

Ruan Chen refused to answer, huddled in his conch bed, trying to deceive himself.

Seeing this, Lux thought for a while, and knocked on the door a few times: "I'll go out for a while, if there is anything you want, I'll bring it back for you."

After waiting for a while, the mermaid still did not leave.

Ruan Chen was bored in the quilt: "I don't want anything, you go!"

Lux smiled: "Alright, stay safe at home, and don't open the doorbell if anyone rings it."

Ruan Chen didn't respond.

He pricked up his ears and listened quietly for about ten minutes, confirming that Lux had really gone out, then lifted the blanket and brushed a bunch of messy hair.

Ruan Chen adjusted his disordered breathing.

After a while, he choked out a word: "Grass."

God knows how fast his heart beat just now.

Lux's words seemed more low and gentle in the quiet basement, looking at him with such expectant golden pupils made him feel strange.

Running away is almost an instinctive reaction.

If he stayed longer in front of the mermaid, he was afraid that his mind would be out of his control and he would say something strange.

After calming down and thinking about it again, Ruan Chen suddenly frowned.

No, did he dig a hole for himself?

Why did he follow the thinking of a stinky goldfish, and really told him the rules of companionship in the human world for a long time?

Ruan Chen buried his head on the conch bed and knocked his head a few more times, trying to wake him up.

After a few hits, his optical brain suddenly popped out.

【Joshua: Ruan, have you returned to Han Haixing? 】

[Joshua: You didn't even tell me? 】

【Joshua: I'm so sad. 】

Ruan Chen quickly replied [I just arrived, and I will go to check my body as soon as I get back. 】

[Joshua: Ah! 】

[Joshua: What's wrong with your body? 】

Ruan Chen was not sure whether to tell him the actual situation.

After all, something went wrong during the partner transformation period, which seemed to be a very serious and bad thing in the mermaid world.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to keep it secret.

[Ruan Ruan: No major problem, just a second shot of the vaccine. 】

[Joshua: Scared me to death. 】

[Joshua: It’s fine. 】

【Ruanruan: How did you know I'm back? 】

He remembered this matter, Lux seemed to have notified it to keep it secret, and did not say it publicly.

[Joshua: I saw it on the news. The battleship will return to Star Hanhai tomorrow. The military department issued an announcement just now, saying that Admiral Lux had won the victory and returned early. I guess he probably brought with you. 】

【Joshua: By the way, General Lux is so busy right now, Ruan, do you want to come out and play with me? 】

[Joshua: We haven't seen each other for a long time. 】

Speaking of playing, Ruan Chen's eyes lit up immediately.

[Ruan Ruan: Okay, where are you? 】

After replying to Joshua, Ruan Chen sent Lux a private message to go out with friends by the way.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no reply from Lux.

It is estimated that the meeting blocked the news?

Ruan Chen didn't care either.

Half an hour later, Ruan Chen was picked up by Joshua and his family in Houston's airship, and drove to Beijing in the center of the imperial city.

This is the first time that Ruan Chen came out to experience the mermaid world without Lux's company.

"Ruan!" Joshua rushed towards him enthusiastically as soon as he met.

Ruan Chen was almost thrown onto the chair in the airship by him, and a series of headache-inducing English words rang in his ears.

"Meow ow ow... (What are you talking about?)"

Houston heard his cry, and hurried over to pull Joshua up: "Joshua, you crushed him."

Ruan Chen remembered that these two hadn't downloaded his translator yet, and he usually translated the text and sent it out, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

He gestured to turn on the optical computer, and sent the translation file to Houston and Joshua.

"I'm sorry, I miss Ruan so much." Joshua sat on the exclusive seat with Ruan Chen, his eyes were bright, and he could see that he was very excited.

Ruan Chen was also in a good mood when he saw this old friend. He looked at the light blue mermaid next to him: "Where are you going?"

"It will be Valentine's Day in a few days, and I plan to take Joshua to the mall to buy some decorations for home decoration." Houston replied.

Ruan Chen was taken aback: "Lover's Day?"

"Yes." Joshua took Houston's hand, "It's a festival specially set up to celebrate the mermaids and humans who got a partner, isn't Ruan planning to celebrate with Lux?"

The stinky goldfish didn't mention it at all.

Ruan Chen squeezed the armrest of the seat.

"Admiral Lux is too busy, he must have his own arrangements." Houston noticed his expression, and hurriedly stepped down the steps for Ruan Chen.

Joshua also reacted: "Ah, yes, but maybe he wants to give you a surprise?"

Ruan Chen pouted: "I don't care for any surprises."

Apart from battles, he has military meetings every day, and most of these festivals will not be remembered at all.

In the city center, Houston led them first to a restaurant that served human food.

There were occasional strange mermaids swimming by around, Ruan Chen subconsciously leaned towards Joshua.

Joshua embraced him heartily: "Don't worry, no mermaid would dare to covet you, and no one would dare to mess with General Lux."

"..." Ruan Chen's little action was revealed, and his face blushed, "I'm just a little curious."

The two of them sat down in a private room, and Joshua asked, "Admiral Lux doesn't usually take you out?"

"I went to Base X with him a few days after he brought me home, and I didn't have time to go out to play." Ruan Chen casually picked up a fork and poked the plate on the table.

After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Houston holding Joshua in his arms from the corner of his eye, and he lowered his head and asked him in a low voice, "What do you want to eat, baby, or the seaweed and fish eggs from last time?"

Joshua naturally leaned against his neck, pointed at the menu on the computer with Houston's finger: "I still want to try this, last time I came here they said it was sold out, I want to try how delicious it is. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Houston kissed him on the forehead.

Feeling the eyes staring at them all the time, Joshua sat up straight and asked Ruan Chen, "Ruan, you can order whatever you want. We will treat you to this meal as if we welcome you back to Han Hai Xing."

"Look, I'm going to buy you some drinks." Houston let go of Joshua.

There is a well-known shop here, which specializes in drinks suitable for human beings. Joshua drinks it every time he comes.

Ruan Chen still had a dull expression.

Joshua said a few words to Houston, then turned his head: "Ruan? What's wrong with you?"

"...No." Ruan Chen came back to his senses, "You, you usually..."

He scratched his hair and tried to make himself friendly: "I mean, you are usually like this..."

Ruan Chen made gestures with their hands a few times.

Joshua couldn't understand: "Ah... what's wrong with us?"

Ruan Chen paused: "That's right, you let him hug and touch you like this?"

"That's right." Joshua's eyes widened a little, "Hugh and I have already confirmed our partnership, and I have entered the transformation period for a long time."

He seemed to be thinking of something, and he was a little shy: "Actually, he usually likes to hold me on his tail and feed me when he eats. I heard that mermaids are like this, but I usually don't let him do it outside. , it's too embarrassing."

Ruan Chen's heart was shocked.

He pretended to be calm and said "Oh": "It means that you have confirmed your relationship as a couple?"

"Yeah." Joshua nodded again and again, "Mermaids and their partners get along like this, Ruan, isn't it like this between you and General Lux?"

Lux...

He also loves to cuddle him and feed him.

Ruan Chen thought back for a few seconds, and found that the way of getting along between him and Lux ​​seemed to be no different from this pair.

To insist that there is any difference...

It might be that every time Lux kissed him, he would get a punch or a kick from him.

But to the mermaid, this resistance is nothing at all, it's like a joke.

Ruan Chen's ears were a little hot, so he closed his eyes and said guiltily: "We are not like this, I usually eat by myself."

Joshua frowned: "No way? It's impossible. Admiral Lux and you are a perfect match. I've heard about it for a long time. The match between Hugh and I is only 76%. The last time I saw a pair A mermaid and a human with a matching degree of more than 90%, the mermaid can't wait to stay by his partner's side every step of the way, and doesn't want to take his eyes off for a second."

He fiddled with the tableware: "I don't believe you are so well matched, and Ruan, you have entered the transformation period."

Joshua gestured to the translucent gills behind his ears: "You must also have a time when you especially want to get close to Admiral Lux. When I first entered the transformation period, Xio said that he would leave me for a second, and I would follow him." He made a fuss."

"Don't be shy, it's all normal." He smiled slyly, "How did Admiral Lux comfort you? Did he..."

Ruan Chen clenched the small fork and interrupted him: "No!"

"I only had one transformation period, and it passed inexplicably. I don't remember what happened at all." He buried his head.

Anyway, he failed to transform, so it is not a lie.

"Impossible!" Joshua refused to believe that his favorite couple would be like this, "Ruan, you must be lying to me, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?" Houston just came back and put two drinks in front of them.

Joshua raised his head and kissed him: "Hugh, you come to testify, Ruan said that Lux was indifferent to him."

Ruan Chen held the small milk bottle, but he didn't bother to worry about drinking it in front of outsiders.

He retorted: "I didn't..."

"Then you admit that you and Admiral Lux are very affectionate?" Joshua immediately turned his head.

Ruan Chen pursed his lips: "...not loving!"

Joshua hummed: "Then turn on your optical brain."

"What are you doing?" Ruan Chen opened as if nothing had happened.

Joshua: "You call Admiral Lux, he will definitely come over right away, do you want to bet?"

To be honest, Ruan Chen was a little timid.

But he still insisted: "Bet, what are you betting on?"

"Bet..." Joshua rolled his eyes, "If you lose, you can kiss Lux after he arrives."

Ruan Chen began to want to retreat: "I..."

"Then if I win, what good will it do?"

Joshua and Houston glanced at each other: "If you win, the problem with this matter is very serious. Mermaids are indifferent to their partners. We will definitely find a way to help you out of the predicament."

"..." It's the same as not saying the benefits.

Ruan Chen shook his head, trying to force Joshua back with this: "No, you have to give me something real. If I win, you go to the door and yell three times that you are a dog."

Houston knew what a dog was, and raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, Joshua made up his mind to bet with him: "Okay, it's a deal, you call him."

"..." Ruan Chen's fingers trembled slightly as he pointed out the contact fish.

No, he can't be cowardly.

Lux is in a meeting right now, and he didn't even reply to the message, maybe he won't receive his call either.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Ruan Chen's screen flickered——

【Meowks is calling you...】

Ruan Chen felt his eyes darken.

Before he had time to hang up, Joshua was already connected.

"Ruanruan?" Lux's slightly deep voice came out, "I've finished dealing with it here, are you having fun?"

Just after going through the previous confession, Ruan Chen's mind exploded.

His hand was already on the close button, but he still finished one step.

Lux said again: "I'll pick you up right away, good boy."

The light brain was pressed off with a "snap".

Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Ruan Chen: "Nikes?"

Ruan Chen: "No, he..."

Joshua leaned into Houston's arms, with a genuine smile on the corner of his mouth: "Stop talking, it's fun, I understand."

Ruan Chen: "..."

The author has something to say: There is no deputy CP in this article, it is just two friends of Ruan Zai, and there will be no stories about them in the main text.
