Chapter 261 There’s a Mermaid at Home (10.22)
XunMi calmly closed her eyes. At any rate, this guy’s mouth was unlikely to spit out good words about other men.
“If anything comes up, remember to tell me. We are in this together. Don’t let me worry.”
She didn’t like that kind of self-righteousness, as the results were often tragic.
August leaned down and dropped a kiss on XunMi’s neck. She said in a low voice: “En, we are one.” In his eyes flashed the eyes of a beast.
XunMi was unable to make heads or tails of August’s messing around. She always felt that her husband’s words had a different meaning to him than to her.
“Hurry and get up. I still have to go out. There are classes in the afternoon at school.”
She pushed the person massaging her body. The Mermaid Academy treated the mermaids with a lot of freedom. She also found that the courses were just like the ones she’d had in university previously, so she felt pretty relaxed about them.[1]
August obediently loosened his grip, helped her up, and brought her upstairs.
XunMi once again felt that something wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t until August was pressing her up against the dressing room door and demanding kisses that she dazedly thought, Ah. That’s right.
This is just like something August would do. Her mind had been clear before, but in a flash she found herself bewitched by him. She was increasingly unable to resist his attraction.
By the time August was content to let XunMi go, it was afternoon.
Compelled to perform a play unsuitable for children in the dressing room, XunMi clearly realized there would be no rescue.
Held in his embrace, he changed her clothes. She let him lift her arms and bow her head.
The entire thing made her seem like a life-sized doll. August’s appetite was rekindled, scaring XunMi into resisting by letting her legs collapse underneath her.
Your mother! If he continued on like this, she really wouldn’t want to go out!
Her heart was tired. Clearly her husband had already become soft and gentle, why was he beginning to fall ill again?
However, the fact of the matter was, XunMi’s one sentence, “We are one,” once again stirred August up and caused his mind to snap.
After being sent to the classroom door by August, he unloaded a heap of instructions and warnings until he finally let her go.
XunMi was relieved when she was finally able to sit in her seat. (# ‵ ′) Fuck, she really must try to figure out her husband’s illness cycle.
Feeling drowsy after the afternoon class, XunMi’s whole person was wilting.
Because of yesterday’s puzzles, she decided to go to the library again to take a look.
This time when she entered the 17th floor, she found that the display here appeared almost the same as it had when came the day before.
Her memory had always been very good. Looking at a row of bookcases which originally ought to have contained materials on deep sea mermaids, but at this moment displayed a row of decorative bamboo plants[2] in their place, doubts arose in her heart.
Looking around, she found that in addition to herself, there were several students studying.
She walked up to the nearest student, a tall boy studying advanced mecha anatomy, and tapped him on the shoulder.
She smiled and spoke, “Sorry to bother you, but may I ask, do you know what happened to that bookcase that was originally where that bamboo is now sitting?”
The student, who was originally irritated about being disturbed when he was concentrating on studying, was suddenly stunned into embarrassment and blushed.
To see that one day, Her Royal Highness Mermaid, who was regarded as the most beautiful goddess in the school, actually smiled slightly at him, he felt that spring had arrived.
Her unsoiled face suddenly became more spirited and soft, with the sun shining through the window like stars on her head full of long blue hair, making her even more charming.
Her whole body was covered with a layer of mist, golden, bright and warm.
“Classmate, classmate.” XunMi reached out and shook his shoulder. This classmate isn’t possessed, right? Why was he looking at her in a daze?[3]
“Ah, sorry, Your Royal Highness, what did you just say?” The boy snapped out of it and awkwardly turned his head, looking very shy.
XunMi shook her head and repeated her question.
“Yeah, wasn’t there a bookshelf over there? I’ve looked several times and only seen bamboo.”
The boy was also puzzled. Although he was not allowed to come in to this floor of the library at any time, he had still come here several times.
From the first time he’d been on the 17th floor, there was always bamboo there. It had never changed.
“Is that so? I may have remembered wrong. I’m a bit tired today, and my mind is confused. Thank you. I won’t disturb you further, so you can go back to studying.”
With an expression of annoyance and regret on her face, XunMi took her leave of the boy and left the library.
Once she exited the library entrance, the corner of her lips rose in a cold smile.
This library was hiding secrets! Maybe she should choose a time to come back when she would be alone.
She suspected that those things yesterday had been shown to her deliberately.
If so, what were the intentions of the person doing this?
XunMi hadn’t yet reached the school gate before hearing the surrounding students chattering loudly about the Major-General.
She knew that bastard must have already arrived at the school entrance to stand like a door god.
Sure enough, when she walked up, she saw that man in military uniform, with no regard to how handsome he looked.
“August.” She saw he heard her and turned to walk toward her. She stood still and fell directly into his arms when he approached.
She wasn’t a bit afraid that he would fail to catch her and let her fall to the ground.
August stared at XunMi’s wholly trusting movements, and felt his heart swell.
With an iron arm hooked around her middle, he rubbed XunMi’s forehead with his hand. “Tired?” He spoke quietly and gently.
“Not bad, just no strength. You hold me.” XunMi replied, rubbing against August’s chest.
That she had been able to keep going until now was already pretty damn good. So now when she finally relaxed a little, she immediately felt weak from head to toe.
August happily received her in his arms, and picked XunMi up to board the flying car.
He liked this kind of behavior that constantly declared his sovereignty. Mi’er was his. No one else was allowed to covet her.
She couldn’t betray him and leave him, else he didn’t know what he would do.
A red light flickered in his eyes, then they soon darkened.
August held XunMi in his arms and kissed her, pressing her back against the seat. After a long time, August stopped himself in order to whisper, “You are mine, marry me! Say you agree.” He didn’t give XunMi a choice with his tyrannical manner.
Deep in the deep cold pool of his eyes flickered an intense possessiveness, and a frantic and deep love.[4]
“I …” XunMi’s eyes flickered a little evasively, and she unconsciously looked to the side, but August tugged her chin to force her to look at him.
“Don’t reject me.” August lowered his head. His breath tangled with XunMi’s as he looked in her eyes, their lips close together. “Say yes.”
XunMi, as if bewitched, unconsciously said yes, and then like a sudden storm he rained down deep and fervent kisses.
As they sank into the abysses of passion, XunMi felt aggrieved.
Just now when she turned her head away, it wasn’t to refuse, but because the sunlight coming in through the window had been blinding her eyes.
She wanted to avoid discomfort in her eyes, but she was overwhelmed by her husband before she could finish speaking.
“Ohhh.” A sweet moan emerged from XunMi’s mouth.
The two people’s limbs entangled with each other in burning passion.
