Rimbaud climbed out of Bai Chunian’s embrace and onto his shoulder, then down to the ground along his spine. He raised his fishtail, which had turned crimson high and bared his fangs as he threatened, “Nowa, goon, plansy le. (No, get lost, leave the things.)”

  ZG92lw

Sitting on the ground and looking back at this fierce-looking little fish, Bai Chunian grasped and held the tip of his cocked up fishtail.

 

Rimbaud’s cheeks warmed as his fishtail changed colors from red to blue. The tip curled up sheepishly in his palm as he crawled back into his arms, nuzzling his neck and wrapping his long tail around him.

“Go take a look, sleep on the bed,” Rimbaud whispered in his ear.

 

The merfolk watched as the queen stood up, picked up their king, and headed for the bedchamber. They huddled together to whisper among themselves.

“Muya bigi. (What a handsome man.)”

 

“Quaun Bulli Siren Mimi. (The queen tugged at Siren’s tail.)”

  RdjY7D

“Siren curel. (Siren will be angry.)”

 

“Quaun al jiji mua jeo? (Will the queen be eaten?)”

  ATv3Do

“Nowa. (No.)” An elderly merfolk looked in the direction of the bedchamber and said meaningfully, “Siren buligi, Siren milayer. (He has the scent of Siren’s nurturing on his body and is Siren’s child.)”

The bedchamber that Rimbaud had furnished looked far more glamorous than in the surveillance video, with white butterfly shells plastered on all four walls and the light emitted by the jellyfish inside the shells bathed the entire bedroom in bright blue glow.

Rimbaud sat down in the soft, giant clam seat and patted the empty place beside him, asking Bai Chunian to come and lie down as well.

  wmqklR

The bed was thoughtfully designed, half immersed in water and half in the air. Bai Chunian sat on the dry side, surveying the meticulous arrangements all around.

 

Rimbaud told him how he had arranged everything; he ordered all the white butterfly shells and golden conches in the sea to be scavenged for the decoration of this bedchamber.

“Your ear piercing?” asked Rimbaud, pinching his earlobe, “I already noticed it a long time ago and never said anything about it.”

 

“I used to be so sad and let the piercing close,” Bai Chunian raised his hand to touch his earlobe.

Rimbaud’s heart fluttered seeing the look in those dark eyes. He gently hugged him, wrapping him in soothing pheromones and humming a soft tune in his ear.

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

His vocal cords were constructed in a manner different to normal humans. He could produce queer and mystical musical sounds, which caused Bai Chunian’s mind to go into a state of oblivion. When he came to his senses, there was an additional piece of jewelry hanging on his left ear.

  RZt0Vn

The two new holes on the earlobes and auricle were still bleeding, but Bai Chunian didn’t feel the slightest discomfort. Rimbaud gently licked away the blood oozing from his auricle.

 

“How beautiful, what is this?” Bai Chunian asked while looking at his reflection in the water.

  EHaz1T

It appeared to be a hollowed-out skeleton of a white shell. The center was inlaid with a black ore with irregular edges. The ore was black under light rays and turned an inky blue in the dark.

 

“My rib and heart.”

Bai Chunian’s eyes widened and he immediately tried to take it off his ear. However, Rimbaud held down his hand and gazed at him with pointedly passionate eyes, “I am an incapable ruler.”

 

At this time of day, it was still afternoon on Greenfly Island. The weather was sunny as the special trainees gathered in the medical hall to wait for their annual full body examination.

  tkcUjZ

The children at the training base were all darlings of the instructors. Given the intensity of their daily training and the isolation on the island, both physical and psychological problems might occur.

 

Han Xingqian sat at the consultation table. He wore a white coat over his instructor’s uniform with a stethoscope hanging from his neck. Occasionally, he glanced at his laptop. The Technology Department said that there had been no news from Bai Chunian.

  1oLPU

Han Xingqian knew all too well what the guy had been up to, but he needed a sample of the Kraken’s blood for further research, so he emailed the Technology Department, “Urge that pig-brained pervert to hurry up.”

Lu Yan put the medical examination sheet on his consultation table, sat in front of him, and opened his mouth.

“Tooth decay, eat less sweets.” Han Xingqian said that after glancing at the other items listed on his medical examination sheet, “Also, your body fat percentage is too high, fat bunny.”

 

“Ah?” Lu Yan rabbit’s ears sprang up.

  b1ySmJ

Han Xingqian didn’t really need a meticulous examination to get an understanding of the other party’s physical state. He signed his name after some items on the medical examination sheet and handed it to Lu Yan, “Next.”

 

Bi Lanxing’s indicators were as perfect as his report card, and there was simply no problem.

  P9Lu5l

“Hmph, why do I have a problem everywhere,” Lu Yan complained with drooping ears and leant against Bi Lanxing’s shoulders.

 

The next one was Xiao Xun, who looked as usual. He put his medical examination sheet in front of Han Xingqian with both hands, sat restrainedly on the examination bench, and placed his hands flat on his knees.

  bMSacN

Han Xingqian did not look up. While scanning his medical examination slip, he sensed his physical condition: “Your heart rate is quite fast.”

 

Xiao Xun stiffened for a moment.

  BgfrjV

On the medical examination sheet, the mental health column was signed by Dr. Samoyed, mental status: Grade C.

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The mental state was graded from A to C as in excellent to poor. Grade C was the worst, but the detailed analysis of the results would take one day to be integrated and was not evident from the medical examination sheet alone.

  cSh7qQ

Han Xingqian: “What’s going on?”

 

“The doctor asked me a few questions.” Xiao Xun’s voice was not loud, but it was clear. He replied softly, “I didn’t answer them well, so I got a C.”

  T3ExRY

Lu Yan diagonally stood just behind him and saw what seemed to be something wedged between Xiao Xun’s legs, making a line of protrusion pressing against his pants.

 

“It doesn’t matter, it’s not an exam.” Han Xingqian said, “Open your mouth.”

  3nESJd

Xiao Xuan obediently complied.

 

Afterwards, his neck muscles suddenly tightened, and Han Xingqian’s well-defined hand clasped around his neck.

  KxGws1

The warmth of his palm pressed against the skin of his neck, and Xiao Xun tensed his back but did not resist, “What?”

 

“Taking a look at the thyroid gland.” Han Xingqian said indifferently and calmly.

  SKrYoi

Xiao Xun: “But no one else needed…”

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Han Xingqian: “No one else’s psychology is as bad as your Grade C either.”

  oUKWbc

 

Xiao Xun hesitated a bit, “Do you still want to ask some more questions…In your emotions, I can detect 55% doubt, 44% concern, and 1%…”

  GkoiYc

Han Xingqian lifted his eyelids, and his gaze behind his gold glasses was slightly sharp: “Next.”

 

Xiao Xuan was somewhat stunned and picked up the medical examination slip and left.

  AarS3n

Seeing Xiao Xuan’s medical examination also had a series of problems, Lu Yan was much happier. With empathy for a fellow sufferer, he ran over, patted him on the shoulder, looked around to make sure no one was around him, and softly reminded him, “Hey, you seem to have something stuck in your pants.”

 

Xiao Xun’s footsteps paused, heat welled up on his face, and he walked away in a hurry. 

  H8ijVf

“?” Lu Yan froze and muttered in a small voice, “But I didn’t say that loudly. My lost socks are also often caught in my pants.”

 

Bi Lanxing came over and rubbed his head, “Let’s go.”

  PuxCQd

From the corner of his eye, Han Xingqian kept observing the small bulge on Xiao Xun’s pants. He lightly coughed into his fist and returned his attention to his laptop to urge Bai Chunian once again.

Bai Chunian rested in the soft giant clam seat for a while when the signal receiver at his waist vibrated, which was connected to the monitoring equipment of the underwater drone. A response from the receiver indicated that a life form with the tracking cells had been detected.

“Baby, I’ve been with you for too long.” Bai Chunian patted his face, trying to wake himself up. All of his self-control had just been used up in order to keep his ears and paw pads from emerging.

 

“I still have a task, wait for me to finish it.”

  dVn7LH

Rimbaud got up and wanted to join him, but a mermaid came over to report that a riot had occurred among the group of killer whales for no reason, and that the king must stop it immediately.

 

“See you later.” Bai Chunian smiled and raised a hand.

  CuqxW

“Blasyi kimo. (Bless you.)” Rimbaud pressed his own palm against his and turned away to leap into the water, the splashed bubbles turning into several jellyfish who followed him along the whole way.
