”Caw ~ ~ ~”

A soft sound rang out, attracting Thunder Emperor's gaze. He stared straight at the person in his arms.

Even Si Xiaobao, who had a big head, could not stand such a gaze. His eyes were wide open, and his slightly flushed cheeks were as red as a drunk man's. ”What are you looking at? Have you never seen a hungry mermaid?

”Mhm.” Thunder Emperor nodded and said in a low voice, ”I'm a mermaid who has never seen a hungry stomach.”

Si Xiaobao became even more embarrassed when he saw the reply. With a sweep of his silver tail, a faint red mark appeared on Thunder Emperor's handsome face with a ”Pa” sound.

Si Xiaobao instantly got a little scared and shrunk into the man's arms. He was so elated that he forgot that this man was in charge of his life and death. When he thought that he might be sent to the lab out of anger, he couldn't help but shiver. His head suddenly drooped down, his long and perky eyelashes slightly quivered, and his silver-white tail hung listlessly in the air.

For a moment, they were speechless.

After a long time — —

An imperceptible sigh came down from above his head.

Si Xiaobao's body froze and even his breathing slowed down.

The slender jaw was lifted by the sharp fingers, and the somewhat cold fingers caressed his cheek. The man lowered his head slightly. There was a faint trace of worry mixed in between his brows. It was as if there were thousands of threads that could not be dispelled. The man opened his thin lips and murmured like a lover, ”Baby, believe in me, okay? I won't hurt you, so don't be afraid of me! ”

Soft and low...

The fear in his heart was meant to be soothed by this gentle voice. It was as if all his thoughts had turned into the wind and scattered in all directions. Si Xiaobao lowered his head, his long eyelashes entering into a beautiful arc under his eyelids.

”En!”

Although it was inaudible, it was still caught by the man with excellent hearing. His gaze focused and his mind fluctuated slightly as well, like a gently rippling lake's surface, forming circle after circle of ripples.

He tightened his arms and walked briskly to the door. ”Let's go!”

”Where to?” As his eyes moved along, Si Xiaobao curiously touched the man's shoulder.

Thunder Emperor raised the corner of his mouth as he placed his hand on Si Xiaobao's stomach. He said in a rough and warm manner, ”Fill it up!”

Si Xiaobao was shocked by his sudden action and stared with his eyes wide open: ”What are you doing!”

The man pursed his lips but didn't say anything. Si Xiaobao wanted to say something, but his mind was attracted by something.

”Lei …” Thunder Emperor, what is that, I … Am I seeing things!? ” Si Xiaobao opened his mouth in an ”O” shape, while little fatty pointed at a spot not far away and stuttered in disbelief.

Compared to Si Xiaobao's surprise, Thunder Emperor's reaction was very ordinary. He glanced at the robots that were cleaning the corridor and thought of his family's mermaid from the sea. He wasn't surprised by Si Xiaobao's surprise and answered for him, ”That's a domestic robot.”

”Oh my god! It's really a robot! ” Si Xiaobao was frozen and excited. He wriggled his body and pushed the man's chest with his small hand. His tail wagged as he said, ”Let me down, I want to touch it!”
