Bai Yu felt that Ji Peilin had become a little strange recently.

Thinking back carefully, everything started when he and Ji Peilin left the mermaid breeding institution and returned to the manor. Ji Peilin was hit by a ball while playing.

That was Ji Peilin—!

How could Ji Peilin be hit by the ball?

No matter how you think it is impossible!

But that's how it happened.

From that day on, Ji Peilin's behavior became more and more strange.

The first is that Ji Peilin stared at Bai Yu in a daze for a longer time.

Yes, Ji Peilin liked to stare at Bai Yu at first, but now he not only stared, but also started to be stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In addition to staring at Bai Yu in a daze, Ji Peilin still maintained his schedule, working when he should work and resting when he should rest.

The second thing to bring up is that Ji Peilin's expression became "rich" when he was working.

Like this time.

Bai Yu was lying on the bank, tilting his head to look at Ji Peilin at work.

Ji Peilin was used to working in a place where he could see Bai Yu, even after he came to the manor.

A screen floats in front of him, and new screens pop up from time to time around him.

Some of the screens that pop up are a lot of text, some are pre-recorded videos, and some are video calls.

This situation is not new to Bai Yu.

When Ji Peilin started to work, he had also seen a huge screen surrounded by a circle.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Peilin in the working state has a strong aura.

There is a certain charm, everything is under control.

It seems that no matter what kind of problem comes into his hands, it can be properly resolved.

The same is true during meetings, never talk nonsense, and get straight to the point.

However, Ji Peilin in recent days looked a little different.

There were expressions of confusion, contemplation, solemnity, puzzlement, and entanglement on his face.

Sometimes, Ji Peilin could still be seen staring at the screen floating in front of him.

Those deep eyes, a powerful aura, and the authority brought by his outstanding personal abilities for a long time.

It always makes people feel that something very serious happened to make Ji Peilin, who has always been happy and angry at work, show such an obvious change in expression.

If it's a problem that even Ji Peilin can't solve simply...

That must be a very serious problem!

With this understanding, the people who have been meeting with Ji Peilin these days, the ones that Bai Yu can see from a distance on the projection screen, are all more serious than before.

There are also hunky men in suits who appear in the manor when necessary, and their behavior seems to have become more...strict?

Originally, these tough men in suits were already very neat and fast when they appeared to work, but now they are even faster, ruthless, and accurate to the point where the fish are amazed.

It seems that everyone agrees, don't disturb Ji Peilin at this time.

Including Baiyu.

Yes, Bai Yu also infected the atmosphere of other people, and also thought that Ji Peilin might have encountered some difficult problem to solve.

The only difference is that Bai Yu thought of more than others.

What is "the silence of adults"!

As human beings grow older, they need to face more and more problems and pressures.

But many people can still cry out these cries when they are young, but they no longer tell them when they grow up.

It's not that they can't feel the existence of problems and pressure, but that they understand that it's useless to cry no matter how much they cry.

One's own problems must be solved by oneself, and others will not feel their own pain, and will not help themselves for no reason.

There are also words like a workplace like a battlefield.

If one's own weakness is revealed easily, it may become a weapon for others to attack and annihilate oneself.

So "silence" is the best choice. At the same time, think calmly and explore the solution step by step.

Bai Yu is very clear about Ji Peilin's daily work status.

When Ji Peilin showed these expressions, he was really under a lot of pressure, right?

That was enough pressure to make the expression on Ji Peilin's face "enriched"!

Bai Yu knew that even if he wanted to, he couldn't help much, but it was okay to give some care in other aspects.

He is a caring fish who has broken his heart for the health and longevity of his breeders~

So Bai Yu activated his personal terminal, opened the shopping website and flipped through it.

Online shopping in this world is really very convenient, but within a day, Ji Peilin saw Bai Yu excitedly carrying a lot of things in front of him, and stuffing these strange looking gadgets into his arms.

A small toy dough that feels soft and resilient, and will quickly return to its original shape after being pinched.

There is also an introduction card given by the store next to it.

It says "Give a firm squeeze and release your stress."

A screaming chicken with its mouth wide open, it will go home and make a sound of "嗤——" as soon as you press it, it is very magical.

I heard that it is very popular on the Internet, and it is a kind of decompression artifact.

It is also something that would never appear in front of Ji Peilin under normal circumstances.

A notebook with the words "You can slap me hard".

I opened the book and found that there were some words written on every page.

Some said "You can vent with random pictures in the book";

Some read "You can shred the book hard";

Some read words such as "Tear me apart and crumple me into a ball".

In addition, there are dolls that can be used to beat, and... a book called "Chicken Soup Collection for the Soul".

The book also comes with some landscape paintings that look very serene and far-reaching.

Incense sticks that can calm people's mind and enter the state of Buddhism.

And... a link to a dedicated chicken soup for the soul website, and even a mutual aid group for netizens? ? ?

Ji Peilin, who had never been exposed to such a thing: "..."

Ji Peilin glanced at Bai Yu, who was still happily stuffing something into his arms, and began to think.

Have you neglected Xiaoyu so much recently that she has become interested in strange things?

You said he can understand those little toys that look cute, but...

What's up with this chicken soup for the soul?

Out of curiosity, Ji Peilin opened the website link of Chicken Soup for the Soul, and saw the so-called spiritual mentor in it. While emphasizing "how important it is to calm the mind", he shouted "recharge XX amount and listen to the insights of experts".

Because the voice was not off, Bai Yu, who was stuffing Ji Peilin with something, was stunned for a moment.

However, Bai Yu was very experienced and pretended not to hear, and even gave Ji Peilin a very simple look.

For some reason, seeing such eyes, Ji Peilin felt that the things that had been lingering in his heart for the past few days were lighter.

Even these gadgets that would never appear around him seemed to become cute.

"Are these all for me?"

At the same time as Ji Peilin asked, he skillfully placed these gadgets in a row.

This is the skill that is usually practiced when buying various small gifts for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu nodded, "It can make people happy, these things."

Did you buy these things for me because they can make people happy?

Ji Peilin's eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked at Bai Yu and thought about his performance in the past few days.

Did he worry Xiaoyu?

"I like... these gifts." Ji Peilin lowered his eyes and said, putting away these gadgets one by one.

Ji Peilin really liked the small gift that Bai Yu bought him.

Although these small gifts are gadgets that Ji Peilin usually doesn't pay attention to, more important than the gifts themselves is the heart.

Ji Peilin felt Bai Yu's heart.

However, the communication of his intentions could not divert Ji Peilin's attention from "whether Bai Yu is in the courtship period".

Even Ji Peilin worked harder to learn about the courtship period of wild mermaids.

Yes, the reason why Ji Peilin has been staring at the projection screen in a trance and showing various "rich" expressions recently is because he is seriously learning about the mating period of wild mermaids.

Although human understanding of wild mermaids is limited, there is still a lot of useful information.

Ji Peilin really wanted to determine whether Bai Yu's current state was... a courtship period.

As a wild mermaid, Bai Yu didn't fight after meeting the red wild mermaid, which has been lingering in Ji Peilin's mind.

Seeing that Ji Peilin's pressure did not seem to ease much, Bai Yu decided to take out his trump card.

"Do you want to go hiking?"

Ji Peilin, who realized what Bai Yu had said, had a strange look on his face.

Of course he is willing to take Xiaoyu to do anything, just...

A merman goes to climb a mountain...

This picture...

Just when Ji Peilin was thinking about how to convince Bai Yu to let Bai Yu give up "climbing the mountain by himself", but when he went to the top of the mountain to see that there was no problem, he saw Bai Yu tilted his head slightly and looked at him worriedly.

"Climbing a mountain can relieve stress, exercise, if ... you have time."

In fact, Bai Yu also wanted to suggest that Ji Peilin could shout at a distance to vent.

But Ji Peilin didn't even move the little decompression toys he gave, so Ji Peilin shouted and vented, even knowing that it was impossible.

Ji Peilin was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that his recent thoughts and actions had more impact on Bai Yu than he imagined.

His little fish was really worried about him.

And he finds out... that he may have slipped into a dead end...

"No, I'm fine, I just..."

Just what, Ji Peilin didn't say it in the end.

But he pursed his lips slightly under Bai Yu's worried gaze, and then asked, "What kind of person does Xiaoyu like? Or a mermaid?"

Facing Ji Peilin's question, Bai Yu was a little puzzled.

Taking into account his "wild merman who has not yet been deeply involved in the world", Bai Yu thought about it.

"Like... a good person like Ji Peilin, a good fish like Xiao Mohua?"

Ji Peilin: "..."

After a brief silence, Ji Peilin felt that he did not ask the question clearly, so he changed the question.

"Does Xiaoyu like little mermaids?"

Bai Yu: "...The little mermaid is very cute."

"Do you want to give birth to yourself?"

Bai Yu was horrified, "I don't want to!"

He's a male fish, and he doesn't want to have a little mermaid!

Could it be that Ji Peilin, the breeder, was not satisfied with raising only one of him, and wanted to raise the little mermaid he gave birth to? !

He really can't do it!

Bai Yu looked at Ji Peilin full of shock.

Ji Peilin: "..." He didn't seem to ask the question well again?

So after thinking about it, Ji Peilin changed the question and continued to ask.

Bai Yu can already speak.

Compared with other mermaids, Bai Yu is a mermaid who communicates better.

Bai Yu is willing to answer Ji Peilin's questions when he is alone with Ji Peilin, or when needed.

Although most of the time, Bai Yu still doesn't speak much.

Just like other mermaids who don't like to talk much, or even better.

...

If it can make Ji Peilin's state better, just answering some questions, of course it is no problem for Bai Yu.

In fact, since Ji Peilin started asking questions to Bai Yu, Ji Peilin's time to ponder alone has indeed decreased.

but……

Is this problem getting more and more outrageous? ? ?

At the beginning, the question that Ji Peilin raised was understandable to Bai Yu.

Most of the questions asked are relatively simple and subjective questions.

They are all based on Bai Yu's feeling as a fish.

What you like and what you don't like.

But with the passage of time, whether you like it or not has gradually retreated into the background and turned into asking Bai Yu's opinion.

From the simplest question, "Where should an item be placed better?", it has developed into a query about some behaviors and feelings in life.

And it's still expanding the problem...

Bai Yu: "..."

After Bai Yu got rid of Ji Peilin's question from the daily things around him, he no longer answered properly, but revealed the innocence of "Although I don't understand what you are saying, I will look at you when you speak" smile.

In this way, Ji Peilin finally slowed down the frequency of inquiries.

However, Bai Yu finally saw something in Ji Peilin's so many questions.

After Yu Ji Peilin stopped, he said, "Ji Peilin, what are you worried about?"

Bai Yu finally realized that Ji Peilin's behavior was not right since he came back. He really encountered some kind of problem, but this problem had nothing to do with work, but...it seemed to be related to him.

Ji Peilin, who heard Bai Yu's question, was stunned and set his eyes on Bai Yu.

What is he worried about?

The climate of Ji Peilin's manor is like spring all year round.

But it's still a little cooler than it is in midsummer.

The wind blowing outside has grown a lot, wrinkling the water in the lake.

At a glance, the sparkling waves are very beautiful.

Bai Yu, who has long white hair, was immersed in such lake water, the white fish tail swayed lightly in the water, and the long and soft tail fins spread out in a very natural posture in the water.

Bai Yu's two hands lightly rested on the fine but smooth stones on the shore specially polished by Ji Peilin, and the surrounding green grass set off...

He just raised his head slightly and stared at Ji Peilin.

Those pale eyes reflected the blue sky and Ji Peilin's face.

Just like when they first met, these pale eyes are still... so beautiful.

It seems that their encounter was still yesterday, the overwhelming rainstorm.

They seem to have been together for a long, long time...

"What am I worried about..."

Ji Peilin looked at himself through Bai Yu's clear eyes.

There was a lot he wanted to say.

The "courtship period" is a very important period for mermaids.

If it is not handled properly, the mermaid's temperament may change a lot, and even go to a future that everyone does not want to see.

So after knowing this, Ji Peilin has been constantly learning about the courtship period of artificially cultivated mermaids and wild mermaids, and has asked Bai Yu a lot of questions and observed for a long time.

Ji Peilin really cares about "in extreme cases, it may be necessary to release the wild mermaid into the sea to spend the courtship period".

He is worried about...

"I'm worried about...

"I don't want to release you into the sea again.

"I want to... let you stay here forever."

After Ji Peilin said such words, he froze in place.

He thought he would say, worried about Bai Yu's body, worried about Bai Yu's current state, and other things...

But he didn't expect to say that.

Ji Peilin suddenly realized something.

Bai Yu seemed to be more important to himself than he thought.

He once thought that Bai Yuzhi was a part of the family to him, just like one of the existences that he should see when he opened the door, close to his family.

But Ji Peilin now discovered that it was slightly different, and it was important in another sense.

The one who wants to stay by your side forever.

"You are... very important to me."

Although Bai Yu didn't understand why Ji Peilin brought up "return to the sea" and expressed his wish of "don't want to", Ji Peilin's last sentence still made Bai Yu stunned.

If it's just "you are important to me" by itself, it won't make Bai Yu feel much special.

With such words, in his previous life, as long as he casually flipped through emotional-related topics on the Internet, he could always see a lot.

There were more words that sounded more heated and nasty.

This is just a sentence, anyone who can speak can say it.

But……

This sentence was said by Ji Peilin, who would never speak casually, and...

When Ji Peilin said these words, the expression on his face...

Bai Yu, who was watched closely by Ji Peilin's eyes, didn't know how to describe it.

He had never been stared at with such a gaze in his life.

No... It's because have never been seen like this in two lifetimes!

Do you want to say that this is the kind of warm and a little different in love?

To be precise, it was as if Ji Peilin suddenly realized this matter very seriously, and said this "fact" in a very serious tone.

There are no fancy descriptions or excessive expressions of emotion.

he is the one……

Seriously tell a fact.

It was this seriousness that made Bai Yu feel a little scared for a moment.

But more than that, the heart beat faster.

Since becoming a mermaid, Bai Yu felt that his body temperature was slightly lower than when he was a human, and his skin was fair and clear.

But today, Bai Yu's face was dyed a little bit of crimson.

It is obvious that every time it becomes a crayfish, it is a subtotal, but this time it has become Bai Yu.

But in the end, he was well-informed, and he quickly stabilized his state and responded with the same serious expression: "Ji Peilin is also very important to me."

When Bai Yu said this, there was no joking element in it.

Today's Ji Peilin is indeed very important to him.

Humans like Ji Peilin who know how to respect fish are not common.

If there is no accident in the middle, Bai Yu should be the "roommate" with Ji Peilin for a lifetime.

In order to prevent Ji Peilin, who is a human being, from leaving this world early, Bai Yu is working hard for this every day!

certainly……

If Ji Peilin releases him without authorization again, he will release Ji Peilin in turn!

No matter how generous and caring fish are, they have temperaments, right?

Bai Yu's words made Ji Peilin blink.

He subconsciously turned his head away, quickly turned his gaze back, and looked to the side again in the next second.

Looking left and right, he seemed to want to look at Bai Yu, but he didn't seem to dare to look at Bai Yu.

Ji Peilin's reaction made Bai Yu suddenly realize something.

Maybe……

possible……

perhaps…………

Wouldn't it be the first time Ji Peilin heard someone say such a thing to him? ? ?

its not right……

It's not like haven't seen Ji Peilin's shrunken appearance before, but he is a handsome young man.

Judging by Ji Peilin's good looks and Bai Yu's internet surfing after getting his personal terminal, there must be many people who like Ji Peilin.

Even though Ji Peilin has always liked to put on a small face since he was a child, he is serious and serious when doing things.

There will be many people who confess their love to Ji Peilin.

Just considering Ji Peilin's "rationality", those children who confessed to him may end up being labeled as "immature" or "not really liking at all", right?

Ji Peilin has always been able to see through people's hearts.

But Bai Yu is not a "person".

Bai Yu is a "mermaid".

Ji Peilin believed what Bai Yu said.

That's why Ji Peilin reacted like this.

Originally, Bai Yu himself didn't know where to put his two hands and tail. Seeing Ji Peilin like this, his inexplicable nervousness was much less, and he wanted to laugh instead.

So Bai Yu, who wanted to laugh in his heart, laughed.

Seeing Bai Yu smiling so happily, Ji Peilin laughed too.

Even Ji Peilin changed his movements and sat directly on the grass.

The wind swept across the flat grass and stirred the water of a lake.

Sitting down, Ji Peilin loosened his collar and cuffs, looked at Bai Yu's smile and felt that today is a very good weather.

...

Chatting with Bai Yu is indeed a happy thing, but about whether Bai Yu is in the courtship period, in the end, after a relatively straightforward communication, found Doctor Xiao, who hadn't appeared for a long time, to confirm Liao Baiyu is still a mermaid who doesn't know what the courtship period is, nor has he entered the courtship period.

Bai Yu didn't fight the red wild mermaid simply because Bai Yu's personality was different from other wild mermaids.

after all……

"Which wild mermaid have you ever seen, like a small fish, has such a high acceptance of cooked food after landing?"

The laughing doctor spoke calmly.

There are many special places about Xiaoyu.

He still can't forget the feeling of being refreshed when he checked for a long time and finally concluded that "little fish have a hobby of turning their stomachs and floating upwards when they are full".

Just meet other wild mermaids without fighting.

Is there anything to be surprised and nervous about?

Who stipulated that every wild mermaid must be exactly the same?

No!

Right!

After listening to Doctor Xiao's analysis, Ji Peilin showed a pensive look, and felt that it really made sense.

In fact, Bai Yu felt that the "mermaid courtship period" might not exist in him.

He just watched Doctor Xiao and Ji Peilin discussing seriously, and didn't say anything.

Anyway, he is just a mermaid who is easy to deceive and has no experience in the world. It is normal not to know about this matter~

So Bai Yu should eat and drink.

On the contrary, after Ji Peilin confirmed this matter, he relaxed visibly to the naked eye.

He also showed a much softer smile to Bai Yu and said: "It's great, I was always worried that the little fish was in a special situation and might need to be released into the sea to spend the courtship period.

"However, we should pay more attention to this aspect. If Xiaoyu feels something is wrong, he must tell me in advance."

When Bai Yu heard this, he finally connected Ji Peilin's earlier mention of "I don't want to release you into the sea again".

so……

Ji Peilin struggled with her feelings for so many days alone.

The thing to think about is whether to release him into the sea?

Bai Yu: "..."

Bai Yu thinks...

Maybe Ji Peilin is the real idiot.

...

After experiencing the murloc disaster and bringing Bai Yu to the manor.

Ji Peilin would stay in the manor most of the time, and if there was anything that needed to be dealt with, it would be through other means, as long as he was responsible for controlling the overall situation.

After all, those employees under him are not just for nothing, everyone is very capable.

But occasionally, there are still some things that require Ji Peilin to leave the manor.

Having just finished this meeting with Mr. Zhong, Ji Peilin glanced out the window.

It's raining.

It wasn't a heavy rain, and it fell on the ground, causing Ji Peilin's thoughts to turn to Bai Yu's body involuntarily.

He had seen the weather today before leaving the manor, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Every time it rains, the fish in the lake come to the surface.

Bai Yu will too.

It's just that unlike other fish that surface to breathe oxygen, Bai Yu likes the feeling of rain falling on his body.

Especially when the rain is not heavy and the temperature is relatively comfortable.

Occasionally, Bai Yu would pick out a few of the fish that had a good temper on weekdays from the fish that had surfaced, deliberately lifted them out of the water, looked at the panicked appearance of the fish and showed a deliberate smile, and then put them very Put it back.

That is a side that Bai Yu rarely shows on weekdays, which is somewhat different from the simple and deceptive image in Ji Peilin's heart, but it also makes Ji Peilin feel very cute.

Thinking about it, Ji Peilin's lips curled up involuntarily.

He wants to go back.

Thinking of this, Ji Peilin got up and refused the invitation from Mr. Zhong to have dinner together.

Mr. Zhong looked at Ji Peilin from top to bottom and joked, "It looks like Mr. Ji is waiting at home."

This sentence made Ji Peilin think of Bai Yu again.

Since Bai Yu came to his side, he often needs to leave briefly to deal with other things.

At the beginning, Bai Yu couldn't speak, he just watched him leave very quietly, and when he appeared, he lay on the edge of the fish tank and watched him as he stepped into the room.

At first, Ji Peilin didn't think there was anything wrong, but he realized it later.

It seems that since Bai Yu no longer "fears" him or "hides" him, every time he appears on time, most of Bai Yu will lie on the edge of the fish tank and watch where he will appear.

When he came to the manor, Bai Yu finally spoke.

Ji Peilin left very little.

But once or twice, when go back, will see Bai Yu lying on the bank, and will look up and smile at him, and then say...

"You're back~"

No matter how you recall it, it was a very beautiful picture.

It was as if the whole world had been covered with a soft and gentle light.

His little fish was indeed waiting for him to come home.

It just never made it clear.

Of course, Ji Peilin understood what Mr. Zhong's words were implying, but Ji Peilin didn't refute Mr. Zhong's ridicule, just nodded slightly, then said goodbye and left.

Instead, Mr. Zhong, who was left in the same place, showed obvious surprise.

"It's really surprising... I don't know who Ji Peilin will take in his heart."

Thinking of what Ji Peilin has done since he came to prominence and his neat and tidy behavior, Mr. Zhong smiled and shook his head, "It's unimaginable."

...

The place where Ji Peilin and Mr. Zhong met was not close to the manor.

Walking into the rain curtain, Ji Peilin looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and did not immediately choose to go back to the manor, but first confirmed with his assistant whether the local specialties had been bought.

Needless to say, this "local specialty" is naturally bought for Bai Yu who is alone at home.

In the past, Ji Peilin also cared about Xiaoyu, but he never made it to the point where he would remember to buy special products for Bai Yu first when he went out.

But after realizing how important Bai Yu was to him that day, such behavior subconsciously occurred.

After getting an affirmative answer from the assistant, Ji Peilin also checked the special products he bought before starting the aircraft.

By the time Ji Peilin returned to the manor, it was already several hours later.

The aircraft flew into the manor according to the inherent route, and landed at a special parking place.

Men in suits stepped forward, as well as domestic robots.

Ji Peilin asked some questions related to Bai Yu, and asked the home robot that had packed the special products to go to the kitchen to process the special products first.

Then Ji Peilin went to the flower garden, picked the one he thought was the most beautiful, and then headed towards the lake where Bai Yu was.

In the past, Ji Peilin would pick some flowers from the flower garden and give them to Bai Yu from time to time.

After the little ink flower came, Ji Peilin would simply combine the flowers and tie them together when sending flowers.

But after telling Bai Yu the words "you are very important to me", Ji Peilin went to the flower garden to pick a flower for Bai Yu almost every day.

Not many, just one.

A flower that blooms the best that day.

After crossing a long road, turning several times, and finally stepping across the lawn, Ji Peilin finally came to the lake, and then saw Bai Yu lying on the rock.

It was also raining on the manor.

Ji Peilin could smell the rain.

But when Ji Peilin came back, the rain had stopped.

I don't know if it's because of Ji Peilin's absence, but today Bai Yu looks a little listless.

He was lying on the big rock in the lake, his white tail extending along the arc of the rock into the lake.

The tail of the fish drooped very quietly, without moving.

Bai Yu didn't move at work.

Even if the bad-tempered fish in the lake swam by the stone, Bai Yu didn't bother to respond.

Until Ji Peilin, who quietly appeared, yelled: "Little fish."

With this call out, Bai Yu, who was lying motionless on the rock, suddenly raised his upper body, turned his head to look in the direction where Ji Peilin was.

A smile appeared on Bai Yu's face, and the whole fish became alive.

He slid into the water, wagged his tail twice and came to Ji Peilin's side.

As soon as he emerged from the water, Ji Peilin handed over the flowers he had just picked.

"This is the flower for Xiaoyu today."

Bai Yu, who is very proficient in collecting flowers, raised his hand to take the flowers, then turned around and put them in his special place for flowers.

After putting it away, Bai Yu swam back again, looking at Ji Peilin expectantly.

Such eyes made Ji Peilin laugh.

Ji Peilin didn't hold back either, and said bluntly: "I bought some special products for Xiaoyu, and the kitchen can take care of it in a while."

Sure enough, as Ji Peilin said, within a short time, there were men in suits and household robots bringing special products that had been processed.

Bai Yu was carried out of the lake by Ji Peilin and placed in a familiar place for Bai Yu.

Before starting to eat, Ji Peilin took his time and wiped the water stains on Bai Yu's tail first.

Like this kind of behavior, Ji Peilin would do it in the past, and Bai Yu has long been used to it.

But don't know if it's an illusion, Bai Yu always feels that when Ji Peilin is doing these things for him now, it's a little different from before.

If there is any difference, Bai Yu doesn't know how to describe it.

It's just that in the past when Ji Peilin helped him wipe the water stains on his body, Bai Yu didn't feel anything at all, but now he feels a little embarrassed and subconsciously moves the fish's tail back.

But when Bai Yuzhen moves the tail of the fish back, Ji Peilin will stare at his eyes very seriously.

It wasn't until Bai Yu moved the fish tail back again that Ji Peilin praised Bai Yu "very well behaved" and continued to help Bai Yu wipe his tail.

So Bai Yu, who felt that something was wrong, felt even more embarrassed.

In addition to things like wiping tails, there are other things that seemed normal in the past, but now they make Bai Yu feel weird.

Such as eating.

Ji Peilin, who helped Bai Yu finish wiping his tail, put the processed specialties into a bowl, and then began to feed them one-on-one.

Considering that Bai Yu's fingers are very sharp, many tableware used by humans are not suitable for grasping, so sometimes Ji Peilin will feed like this.

It is this feeding method that seems to have become more frequent in recent days.

Bai Yu almost forgot what it felt like to hold the tableware in his hands.

— Gradually become a real useless fish.

The whole feeding process is normal, but because of the relationship between ingredients and cooking, it is inevitable that some residue will stain Bai Yu's lips.

Then……

Then there is a very classic and cliché plot.

It's still the kind of plot that only appears when you read novels when you are young, which makes people feel very embarrassed.

With the expression on his face unchanged, Ji Peilin raised his hand to wipe off the residue from Bai Yu's lips with his fingertips, and then sent the residue into his mouth very naturally, without any grudges at all.

"Don't waste food." Ji Peilin, who did this kind of behavior, also said such a sentence.

Bai Yu: "..."

Bai Yu: "...!!!"

Bai Yu admitted that he was a younger brother in a certain way.

In the past, when he was young, he watched TV dramas or novels with such plots. At first, he really felt embarrassed, but after watching too much, he became like that.

But when all this really happened to me...

In fact, Bai Yu thought about it, and felt that if it was a few days ago, he probably didn't feel anything at all, but why did he always feel weird these few days?

Also feel a little hot.

what……

It must have something to do with the damn hot weather.

Bai Yu corrected his wandering thoughts, accepted Ji Peilin's feeding obediently, and stopped thinking about these things.

The relationship between him and Ji Peilin is like this every day, thinking about it, it seems that nothing has changed, it is still the same as before.

It's just that the frequency of feeling hot is a bit high recently.

After eating the special products, Bai Yu and Ji Peilin played ball together again, and then Ji Peilin's personal terminal vibrated.

Ji Peilin glanced down at his personal terminal, and stopped the game with Bai Yu.

Under normal circumstances, when Ji Peilin and Bai Yu were playing games, they would rarely stop before the end of the game.

This is not the case on weekdays.

Bai Yu looked at Ji Peilin curiously, and saw Ji Peilin answer a video call.

Ji Peilin didn't deliberately avoid Bai Yu, so Bai Yu could see the person appearing on the projection screen. It was a man with very similar facial features to Ji Peilin, but more mature, with a completely different temperament.

Ji Peilin looked at the person on the projection screen, with a smile that Bai Yu had never seen before.

"Brother." Bai Yu heard Ji Peilin address the man on the other side of the video call.

Bai Yu's eyes widened instantly.

The man on the other side of the video call obviously also saw Bai Yu.

And Bai Yu's expression successfully made the other party laugh out loud.

"Is this your little fish? It's so cute."

"Well, my little fish is really cute." Ji Peilin, who curled his lips, affirmed his brother's praise for Bai Yu.

Ji Peilin's elder brother is named Ji Jingyu, he is a very gentle man.

He and Ji Peilin briefly said a few words, chatted about the recent situation, and then talked about Ji Tianyun.

Since Ji Peilin brought Bai Yu to the manor, Ji Tianyun, who was left behind, was sent to Ji Jingyu's side by someone.

After the murloc disaster was over, Ji Tianyun went to school normally.

What Ji Jingyu wanted to say was, "When Tian Yun was participating in an activity at school, he was attacked by some wild animals."

Ji Peilin was silent for a moment, "...is there nothing wrong?"

Ji Jingyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, Tianyun can handle it by himself these days, but he used this incident as an excuse to ask me to talk about it, so that you can allow him to talk to Xiaoyu."

"He can tell me himself."

"But uncle, you won't agree at all, right?" An extremely resentful voice came from behind Ji Jingyu.

Ji Jingyu laughed at that time, and Ji Peilin was also helpless.

In the end, Ji Tianyun finally achieved his goal and obtained the right to "talk a few more words" with Bai Yu.

"Yuyu~~ I miss you so much~ Do you miss me?~~~"

Bai Yu smiled and looked at Ji Tianyun on the other end of the video call.

We haven't seen him for a while, but Ji Tianyun still looks the same, but he speaks with a lot more tildes.

"Yuyu~~ I heard that you seem to have started talking~ Would you like to talk to me? Yuyu~~~"

"Okay." The smiling Bai Yu satisfied Ji Tianyun's request.

Ji Tianyun, who thought he would ask for a while longer, was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to be so straightforward.

After Bai Yu spoke, he said again, "Are you injured?"
