CH 39

One day passed, and the plan to change the owner fell apart, along with the attempt to dissolve the partner relationship.

Jun Ye lay half on the edge of the merman car, contemplating life as a fish. For some reason, throughout the whole day, the military uniform didn’t come near him. He was quite content with the tranquility.

While thinking about how to deal with Gu Jiaoxiu, who was now his partner in practice, Jun Ye enjoyed watching a few delicate and pitiful little mermen being assisted by officers who had taken off their military uniforms, with swimming rings on, frolicking in the water.

A young-looking male merman, lying softly in a swan-shaped swimming ring, was occasionally “accidentally” colliding with the solid chest of some muscular officers. Turning around, the merman once again unsuspectingly bumped into the sturdy chest, the white and bronze colors sticking together. The merman frantically used his hands to push and pull for a while before stabilizing his body, leading to hearty laughter from the officers.

Jun Ye silently glanced at the little hand on a certain officer’s chest and speculated on who was eating whose tofu1It means to take advantage of the situation, it’s usually implied to be a bit “naughty”. In the world of humans and fish, both marine and terrestrial creatures were not straightforward.

The distinct sound of military boots stepping on the ground approached, and Jun Ye turned his head, seeing the figure of Gu Jiaoxiu, upright and handsome.

This time, Gu Jiaoxiu didn’t wear those work clothes. He was dressed in a slightly loose casual outfit, neatly buttoned up to the top, covering all remnants of ambiguous traces.

Gu Jiaoxiu smiled at Jun Ye, bent down, sat on the edge of the merman carriage, and without saying anything, openly reached out and touched Jun Ye’s caudal fin. The smile on his face widened.

Jun Ye quietly lifted his tail, directing it towards the certain wandering hand, and gave it a pat.

Without dodging or avoiding, the hand quickly turned red. Gu Jiaoxiu, seemingly unconcerned, flipped his hand over, grabbed the tip of Jun Ye’s tail, and continued to smile, saying, “Our residence is ready. Want to go take a look at our home?”

Jun Ye didn’t answer, his gaze focused on the paw that was rubbing his tail’s end.

Gu Jiaoxiu deliberately followed Jun Ye’s gaze, and the hand continued to vigorously rub until Gu Jiaoxiu’s eyes stopped at that particular spot for three seconds. He then revealed an expression of “Oops? How did my hand end up here?” and slowly retracted his hand with an apologetic look.

Jun Ye: “…”

Quite a show.

Although Gu Jiaoxiu was almost announcing “kidnapping a merman” on his face, Jun Ye still nodded in agreement to leave.

He had to leave sooner or later. Jun Ye had consulted with Ai Li about the marriage situation in this society. Even if Gu Jiaoxiu could dissolve their marriage, there would be others who would “marry” him.

At this point, Jun Ye had figured out the controls of the merman carriage. He reached out to press the control button hidden on the side of the carriage, and a virtual panel appeared. Just as he was about to operate it, a shadow covered him.

A heat source higher than the merman’s body temperature pressed against him. Warm breath blew on his right ear fin, tingling and numbing. A voice with a playful tone sounded in his ear, “My flying vehicle can’t accommodate such a large merman carriage. Let me hold you, my wife~”

The last three words were almost bitten into his ear fin. Jun Ye was stimulated and shivered, feeling his fish scales almost standing up.

Before he could push the person away, Gu Jiaoxiu’s hands were already on him, one from the back, around to his waist, and the other reaching under his caudal fin.

The sensation of weightlessness came over him, and when Jun Ye looked up, he saw Gu Jiaoxiu with a proud expression like a peacock displaying its feathers. Unable to resist, Jun Ye swung his tail fin, hitting Gu Jiaoxiu’s face.

Smack—

“Hiss…”

Gu Jiaoxiu gritted his teeth and took in a sharp breath, secretly relieved that he wasn’t wearing glasses.

In theory, a tail fin, resembling a bridal veil, slapping against the body wouldn’t be very painful. However, due to the rapid speed of the merman in his arms, Gu Jiaoxiu’s ears were left ringing from the impact.

But hearing the playful whistles from some officers in the distance, Gu Jiaoxiu could only raise a brighter smile.

Having your merman partner slap you was something many envied, and if the merman’s strength was a bit much, so what? If it left your ears ringing, so be it. This was his partner, and those single military dogs could only envy.

“…”

Seeing Gu Jiaoxiu smiling even more provocatively, Jun Ye, with an indifferent face, refrained from another slap. This guy’s brain must have been damaged by the slap.

Gu Jiaoxiu carried Jun Ye all the way to the docking area for the merman carriage. A white aircraft opened its doors automatically, lifting the merman onto the back seat. After exiting, Gu Jiaoxiu closed the door with a snap and briskly walked around to the front driver’s seat.

A series of actions were swift and full of conspiracy.

Jun Ye: “…”

If he didn’t know both parties’ identities well, he would suspect this person to be a member of some illegal wildlife trafficking group.

As the aircraft ascended, Jun Ye moved his tail fins onto the water cushion seat, lying on the headrest and admiring the vast sea outside the window while keeping a close eye on Gu Jiaoxiu in the pilot’s seat.

Just as he glimpsed Gu Jiaoxiu turning around, Jun Ye’s tail flicked across the air, brushing against Gu Jiaoxiu’s face.

Smack—

“Hiss…”

Gu Jiaoxiu grunted, taking a sharp breath. He silently celebrated the fact that he wasn’t wearing glasses.

The aircraft ascended, and Jun Ye moved his tail fins onto the water cushion seat, lying on the headrest and admiring the vast sea outside the window while keeping a close eye on Gu Jiaoxiu in the pilot’s seat.

Not long after, Jun Ye caught a glimpse of Gu Jiaoxiu turning around, shamelessly flipping from the front seat.

Jun Ye thought, “Here it comes.”

He wondered if the other party wanted to kill him and dispose of his body in revenge for that intimate encounter, or…

Jun Ye watched Gu Jiaoxiu, who seemed eager yet restrained, with an upward curve on his lips, and the lingering gaze at his tail. It seemed that the other party wanted to engage in some in-flight activity.

Gu Jiaoxiu’s face reddened, influenced both by the tail fin slap and a certain hormone secretion.

Gu Jiaoxiu sat down delicately on the water cushion surface near the end of Jun Ye’s tail, cupping Jun Ye’s tail with both hands, gently and somewhat shyly caressing it. His gaze became increasingly intense.

The fumbling and somewhat lascivious actions made Gu Jiaoxiu appear both shy and eager, surprising Jun Ye. It was as if he were really the partner, giving the other a bit of the right to touch, could entirely arouse the other’s desire, and he was enjoying the affectionate caresses…

Jun Ye’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he lifted his tail abruptly.

From bottom to top, a loud “smack” echoed, leaving a symmetrical red mark on the other half of Gu Jiaoxiu’s fair face.

Gu Jiaoxiu maintained the posture of being slapped for a few seconds, then turned to look at Jun Ye. His eyes showed a hint of grievance mixed with determination.

“I’ve locked the door of the aircraft,” Gu Jiaoxiu stared at Jun Ye, continuing to take off his military boots. He lifted his leg and straddled Jun Ye’s tail, saying mischievously, “There’s no water tank in the aircraft; you can’t escape!”

Gu Jiaoxiu wasn’t exactly clouded by desire. As a male, being unable to separate from his merman partner was an unbearable situation that needed to be rectified.

Moreover, he wanted to regain control as soon as possible and leave a deep impression on his merman partner to preserve his male dignity.

As the director of the Merman Pavilion, Gu Jiaoxiu was familiar with the merman’s attire. As he spoke, he skillfully unzipped the lower part of Jun Ye’s garment along the center.

The perfect merman tail was exposed, and Gu Jiaoxiu’s breath became nearly invisible, but his spirits soared.

The area under the scales was still covered by a layer of fabric, and Jun Ye looked at Gu Jiaoxiu’s movements with surprise.

He wasn’t aware of the concealed zipper on the skirt. He wondered about the designer’s thought process, using such a peculiar design.

Gu Jiaoxiu swallowed, controlling the immediate desire to bite down. He continued to glare at Jun Ye and issued a warning, “We agreed to compete, and even if you beg for mercy, I won’t stop!”

With Gu Jiaoxiu’s menacing words, a subtle energy entered Jun Ye’s body. Jun Ye responded with a smile that conveyed, “I don’t believe you can make me cry, but I can certainly make you cry.”

Under Jun Ye’s smile, Gu Jiaoxiu felt a nervous tension. He couldn’t help but think that sleeping with the other party wouldn’t be easy. However, the anticipation of making such a beautiful merman cry under him excited Gu Jiaoxiu.

Gu Jiaoxiu wiped the sweat from his palms onto his pants, then lifted his hand to caress the slightly raised scales on Jun Ye’s tail.

Feeling the cool touch, Jun Ye’s body temperature was slightly lower than that of humans. However, when the mermen were aroused, their warmth became an excellent source of pleasure.

Gu Jiaoxiu knew the size of the part under the scales when it swelled, as well as the intense heat when it was embedded in the body.

Of course, he wouldn’t give the merman another chance to embed it into him. Gu Jiaoxiu’s gaze became even more determined, and he vowed to make the merman cry while trembling under him.

Jun Ye frowned slightly. Perhaps the scales in that area were thinner and more sensitive, making it even more susceptible to certain stimuli. What was more terrifying was that he didn’t feel any aversion to the touch on his body.

If it were someone else, they would have been slapped by him long before, instead of the flirtatious tail fin brushing against his face.

Maybe it would have happened even earlier, when the merman deliberately squeezed his tail between the man’s legs, or when he let the inflatable jellyfish float toward the man…

Now, the tail had been lifted onto the man’s shoulders…

Lying on the water cushioned chair, Jun Ye’s long fishtail was lifted onto Gu Jiaoxiu’s shoulders, and the man’s hands reached behind him.

Jun Ye shook his tail a few times. His tail was indeed quite long, and it also carried a weight far exceeding that of an ordinary merman.

With this movement, Gu Jiaoxiu had to withdraw his hands and simply embraced Jun Ye’s tail.

“Don’t move!” Gu Jiaoxiu was so anxious that his face turned red. The merman’s tail was already lethal to him, and the shaking intensified his unsettled heart.

Gu Jiaoxiu, who was temporarily in a state of cerebral ischemia2That’s a very specific way the author chose to mean that the blood was flowing too much to his brain haha! due to the tail rubbing against him, smiled foolishly and nodded at Jun Ye’s teasing question.

Full of thoughts about his partner’s tail rubbing comfortably against him, he licked it quietly. The partner should allow it, right?

In what world getting slapped by your partner with a tail an enviable thing? These military dudes are weird and funny lol Also rip Gu Jiaoxiu lol
