Jun Ye remembered the last time they copulated in the pool, how Gu Jiaoxiu hung on him, exhausted yet unwilling to let go. Seeing him now, taking shaky steps, Jun Ye instantly sensed the underlying issues.
“The words from before still stand,” Jun Ye kindly reminded.
However, Gu Jiaoxiu just shot him a glare, gritted his teeth, and continued dragging his slightly trembling legs forward.
As he stepped onto the glass pathway, Gu Jiaoxiu’s body visibly paused. Only when Jun Ye slid behind him, catching a glimpse of the merman’s gently swaying tail fin, did Gu Jiaoxiu seem to summon some courage, leaning forward to lift his other foot.
It was like a toddler learning to walk, taking a step and then a pause, staggering forward.
The glass pathway was elevated a few centimeters above the water surface and, despite being exposed to the sun all day, didn’t appear slippery at all. However, Gu Jiaoxiu was walking cautiously, as if he would slip at any moment.
Gu Jiaoxiu couldn’t look straight ahead, only focusing on the path beneath his feet.
However, even if the glass wasn’t slippery, it was still glass.
The color almost blended with the pool water, and upon closer inspection, the glass pathway reflected his own image, connected to the water’s surface…
Gu Jiaoxiu didn’t know how he managed to keep going. The reflective glass was making him dizzy, and with every step, he felt like he might be engulfed by the water in the next second.
He knew the pool below had a depth of nearly ten meters, and once fallen, there would be no way out.
In the past, he would never have chosen to live in such a villa, and even when visiting friends with pools, he would never get close to the water. But now, he had a lifelong merman companion, and this villa was rated the highest among mermaid villas for sale.
He wanted to give the best to his partner.
His merman companion was right behind him. Gu Jiaoxiu could see the elegant figure through the dizzying reflection of the pool water.
The merman behind him was the only reason he was willing to step on this glass pathway.
Even though the other had shattered his human male dignity in the pool, treated him shamefully in the spacecraft, and even refused to call him “husband”…
Why did he indulge this merman so much?
Gu Jiaoxiu thought to himself, “It’s because he’s my companion, and he relies on me to spoil him, so he acts so recklessly.”
Distracted by these self-satisfying thoughts, Gu Jiaoxiu suddenly felt his legs go weak. He couldn’t control them in time, and at the moment of lifting his foot, his body began to tilt to the side.
Gu Jiaoxiu widened his eyes in panic, his mouth open but unable to voice any words.
The view tilted, looking at the sparkling water surface as if a gust of wind had passed by. Gu Jiaoxiu thought, “It’s over.”
Before falling into the water, the sense of impending doom had already enveloped him.
What does one think of just before dying?
Gu Jiaoxiu thought of the merman companion he had spent less than ten days with.
He hadn’t even had the chance to hear the word “husband” from the merman.
If he hadn’t been so stubborn just now, and had called the other “husband” during the confrontation, would things be different? Anyway, it’s his companion, and calling each other husband and (husband) isn’t embarrassing.
As regret began to surface, Gu Jiaoxiu suddenly felt a pull from his waist. He was pulled, stumbling backward half a step.
His back pressed against a slightly cool chest.
“If you can’t walk, don’t force it.”
Seeing the cold sweat on Gu Jiaoxiu’s forehead, Jun Ye frowned slightly, directly lifting the visibly exhausted man horizontally.
Gu Jiaoxiu’s perspective inverted, blinking to gradually regain clarity. He gazed at the blue sky and white clouds for a moment before shifting his gaze to Jun Ye’s face.
His eyes were a bit warm.
Gu Jiaoxiu buried his face in Jun Ye’s chest, blinking continuously. His eyelashes brushed against the fabric covering the merman’s chest, making his eyes itch.
Perhaps Jun Ye was well-fed with energy from Gu Jiaoxiu’s recent activities, as he didn’t feel the same physical fatigue he had experienced when first getting ashore. A few days ago, he had to drag Gu Jiaoxiu into the pool to subdue him, but now, lifting him horizontally seemed effortlessly manageable.
Thinking about the mysterious energy Gu Jiaoxiu emanated during intimate moments, Jun Ye marveled at its nourishing effects.
Steadily carrying Gu Jiaoxiu across the glass pathway, Jun Ye safely reached the platform in front of the villa and gently set him down.
The platform wasn’t transparent; instead, it consisted of several large white-gray anti-slip tiles.
Hopefully, Gu Jiaoxiu wouldn’t collapse again.
Indeed, Gu Jiaoxiu didn’t collapse. He simply took a deep breath and continued holding onto Jun Ye’s waist, refusing to let go.
Having a strong and reliable companion who loved him seemed to make occasional retaliation from his merman companion more acceptable.
Jun Ye glanced at the paws suspiciously close to his waist, smiling at Gu Jiaoxiu. “Do you still owe me something?”
Gu Jiaoxiu immediately let go, turning away to open the door.
Retaliation really wasn’t advisable. He was the dominant one in this marriage, both on land and underwater.
With a soft “ding,” the villa door unlocked, and Gu Jiaoxiu pushed it open.
Three seconds later.
Gu Jiaoxiu turned around, pinching the hem of his shirt, looking up at Jun Ye with a bright red face.
Jun Ye began to wonder if there was some screen inside playing an unusual video. He observed Gu Jiaoxiu biting his lip, barely audible as he timidly called out, “Husband…”
Jun Ye: “…”
Could there really be something that could overturn one’s worldview in there?
Jun Ye approached and, through Gu Jiaoxiu, saw the interior of the house.
No, the fish tanks and furniture weren’t important. What mattered was the glass floor below.
Underneath the floor was an artificial pool connected to the yard outside.
Jun Ye chuckled.
For someone so afraid of water, there was no way his house would be like this. Looking at Gu Jiaoxiu’s expression, it seemed like he hadn’t set foot in here before.
Jun Ye turned to the stiff-faced and still warm Gu Jiaoxiu, smiling, “Consider this my reward for bringing you here. Now, what’s next? What do you want to do?”
Gu Jiaoxiu nervously pinched his fingers, his body still tense. He stared into Jun Ye’s eyes, trembling as he spoke, “Hus… hus…”
“Alright, cut it out. You look like I’m bullying a child,” Jun Ye glanced at the entire glass floor, then asked, “Are you really going to live here?”
Gu Jiaoxiu, helpless and anxious, pinched his fingers. This was the only set of suitable accommodations for merfolk he had, and the remaining federal credits weren’t enough to buy another suitable one for them.
A military officer without enough credits couldn’t afford a merman companion…
Jun Ye observed Gu Jiaoxiu’s constrained situation.
Sighing, Jun Ye lifted Gu Jiaoxiu again and slid towards the interior, saying, “Let’s have someone add a layer of non-transparent flooring, or we can put some carpets if you prefer.”
As Gu Jiaoxiu was being carried, he instinctively reached up, encircling Jun Ye’s neck, feeling embarrassed to face anyone as he pressed his face against Jun Ye’s chest.
Upon hearing Jun Ye’s suggestion, he felt even more embarrassed.
As a human male, the dominant one in their marriage, he felt awkward being carried around by his merman companion. Yet, here his companion was, accommodating him in every way.
The transparent flooring in the merfolk house was designed to provide unique ways for the occupants to interact. For instance, passing by might offer glimpses of the merman companion frolicking underwater, or during bathing, the merman might accidentally catch a sight, causing a blush and a hasty retreat…
Gu Jiaoxiu thought for a moment. However, he couldn’t imagine the blushing and retreating scene with “Luo Sha”. Maybe the merman would whistle underwater…
No, “Luo Sha” probably wouldn’t do such a rogue thing. At most, he might scrutinize him from bottom to top and then leave with an expression of disdain…
For some reason, the thought excited Gu Jiaoxiu.
How about…
“Maybe I’ll stay on the second floor,” Gu Jiaoxiu tentatively suggested, not looking at Jun Ye. He nervously pinched his fingers, continuing, “The second-floor flooring is not transparent, and there’s an indoor pool.”
Jun Ye, unaware of any issues, nodded.
The merman elevator was also transparent, so Jun Ye carried Gu Jiaoxiu directly to the second floor.
Considering Gu Jiaoxiu’s injury, Jun Ye didn’t immediately put him down after going upstairs. He asked about the master bedroom, then carried him inside.
Indeed, the master bedroom had a reasonably sized pool, and the floor was an opaque light beige, lacking anti-slip features.
Opposite the bed, there was a semicircular recessed wall with a wooden hanging chair. Jun Ye briefly glanced at it, finding it somewhat peculiar.
What was the hanging chair for?
Without dwelling on it too much, he flipped Gu Jiaoxiu onto the bed after confirming the medical supplies.
“Let me handle it myself,” Gu Jiaoxiu half-supported his upper body while lying on the bed. Seeing Jun Ye sitting beside him with the medical kit, Gu Jiaoxiu’s hand had instinctively moved to his lower back belt.
After experiencing the merman’s mischief behind him twice, he was now afraid to expose his backside in front of him.
Jun Ye gave him a suspicious look.
That panicked little expression was too easy to decipher.
“How did it happen?” Jun Ye asked as he squeezed some anti-inflammatory ointment into his palm, looking down at Gu Jiaoxiu, who was holding onto his belt. “Did you intend for me to see it while you did something indecent?”
Gu Jiaoxiu’s face immediately turned red, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
What did he mean by doing something indecent in front of him? It’s not like he was engaging in self-pleas*re…
Was his companion really a rogue merman?
Jun Ye took out the ointment for swelling and pain relief, rubbing it in his hands. His gaze fell on Gu Jiaoxiu’s hand pressing on his own lower back belt. He said, “Gently remove your pants. I don’t want to resort to violence.”
Gu Jiaoxiu: “!!!”
You actually want to resort to violence?!
Catching sight of the long fish tail swaying beside the bed, Gu Jiaoxiu, with a determined and unyielding expression, began to undo his belt.
Jun Ye gave him a playful look.
That panicked little expression, it was so easy to interpret.
“I carried you upstairs just now. What do you say…” Jun Ye’s lips curled slightly as he looked at Gu Jiaoxiu, pressing gently and watching him almost gasp for breath before saying, “…do you owe me another word?”
Colonel Gu is a man who seems to accept his defeats quickly, hehe that’s kinda cute :>
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
