Yan Qiwen’s face and appearance was gentle and cute. His entire person seemed kind, and because of his face, the charm and impact of Xue Ling’s eyes was reduced significantly. The eyes that were originally slender became slightly rounded, and the corners of his eyes were still tilted upwards, making him appear particularly smart. Such eyes were clearly unsuitable on such a lovely face, but the feeling that he gave others was not dissonant at all. Rather, he seemed even cuter, making others feel closer to him.
Normal people felt closer to him, and people who were enchanted by Xue Ling’s charm ability would feel a lot of goodwill towards him. When faced with such a carefully prepared smile, Yan Qingjun only felt that something had drilled into his heart, making his entire person feel flustered.

He had not paid much attention to this little merperson when he had come in just now. He had only felt that it would most likely be another spoiled young master merchild who was one of the natural merfolk. Now that he looked carefully at him, he felt that his previous assumptions had been a little overboard.
This little merchild was different from the others. His tail was a mysterious and noble black and gold, and the scales were arranged one by one, making his entire tail appear very smooth and sleek. His scales were shiny, and it was clear that he was very healthy. Similar to his tail color, the merman’s hair was black, but under the sunshine he had a light golden halo. His sweet smile displayed two dimples, and made Yan Qingjun’s first impression of him very good.
He was very good looking, but unlike Yan Qingjun’s warm and mild gentlemen’s temperament, the little merman’s temperament had a kind of mysterious nobility. Although he was smiling, it made others feel that he was sacred and inviolable. Although observers felt close to him, they were simultaneously afraid to approach him. This kind of contradictory feeling wandered through his thoughts, making Yan Qingjun a little stunned.
Xue Ling smiled and let him look as he pleased. He also knew that he had been affected by his enchantment, and his mind was experiencing some fluctuations. But, struggling was useless. As long as Xue Ling wanted, he could make anyone like him to the point of madness. The ability to charm was very effective on those who had lower spiritual power than him. If the difference in power between the two was not too great, he would be able to handle the other party and make it so that they were unable to become his enemy.
Oh. It didn’t work for people who hated him from the bottom of their hearts. That was why he had been forced into this situation of having to look all over the worlds for his tails.
Yan Qingjun could not resist Xue Ling’s influence on him. He curved his lips up into a smile and said, “Hello, I am Yan Qingjun.”
“Oh, you are also surnamed Yan?” The Yan surname was a widespread one. Other than the family of the Duke’s Palace, the several of the Emperor’s friends in the upper echelons of society were also surnamed Yan. Those with the Yan surname did not all belong to a head clan, and in light of the fact that the Empire’s governing system did not allow for a family clan to stand in such a dominant position, most people with the Yan surname were scattered. “I have been in the Palace ever since I was small, and this is my first time coming to school. You’re the third mermaid that I have ever seen, and you’re very beautiful.”

Yan Qingjun blushed under such blatant praise. He spoke with some embarrassment, “Natural merfolk are all favourites from heaven, so all natural mermaids will be very good looking. Look at yourself – you are also very attractive.”
Xue Ling patted his own, slightly round face, touched the tear mole in the corner of his eyes and said, “You don’t need to comfort me, after all, I will never grow up to be as beautiful as you.”

He propped his cheek on his hand and tilted his head to look at Yan Qingjun. He spoke while sighing in admiration, “You’re really a treat for the eyes. You even look like my mother.” After saying that, he clapped his hands and continued, “I’ll show you some pictures of my mother from when she was young. She was a famous beauty, and my father was unbearably fascinated with her.” After saying so, he self-consciously brought up the picture of the Duchess on his nano-computer, and before Yan Qingjun could recover, leaned over to show it to him. “Look, she’s beautiful.”
When Yan Qingjun saw the photograph of the Duchess, his entire person froze for a few seconds, but the turbulent thoughts in his eyes were soon brought under control, and his eyes became full of amusement as though he had not noticed his relationship to the Duchess at all. He gave Xue Ling an odd look, as if thinking about why Xue Ling would want to show him the photo, and whether it was for a specific purpose.
Xue Ling ignored his suspicions. After swiping across to show the Duchess’ photos, he continued to swipe and showed Yan Qingjun some photos of his childhood. “These are all pictures from my childhood. Wasn’t I cute as a child?”
There were some things that could not be overdone. He had come to act as a silly and sweet character, and there was no need to allow Yan Qingjun to see his true face even if what he wanted to do was not anything bad.
The courses at the Mermaid Academy were very boring, at least for Xue Ling. Yan Qingjun studied very carefully in every class, while Xue Ling was sleeping in his seat beside him. Occasionally, when he woke up with eyes still blurry from sleep, he would act spoiled and ask Yan Qingjun to help him copy notes.
The school teachers had always maintained an attitude of turning a blind eye regarding these merfolk’s education. If Xu Ling did not want to learn, they would not force him to do so. He was only sleeping in class, and wasn’t that a fishtail behind him? They should be indulgent towards merfolk.
A good student like Yan Qingjun had already won the great prize of making all the teachers in the entire Academy feel moved.
Xue Ling had only come in order to get close to the protagonist shou, and had no plans to steal his limelight. So, during classes like piano and drawing, he did them completely blindly, and it would be best if the teachers labelled him as a ‘stubborn and disobedient merman’. This way, the Duchess would have to consider whether or not the other family would be able to withstand him tossing and turning before marrying him out.
After spending the lesser half of a month interacting and getting along with each other, Yan Qingjun felt that he had already completely seen through Yan Qiwen. He was exactly like his cute and lovely face, and was a merman that had no schemes in his heart. He just ate and slept all day long, and his greatest goal in life would be to marry a good man. It would be best if the man would spoil him, let him do whatever he wanted, and love him regardless of any reason. Then, he could spend the rest of his life being served, eating and waiting for death.
If he had to point out what made this particular fish so unique, it would probably be that he kept expressing to Yan Qingjun that he did not want children in the future because he was a cute baby himself.
Yan Qingjun did not know what to say about this. Heaven knows how many ellipsis marks he had over his head when he heard it, but because Yan Qiwen’s personality was like this, he completely abandoned his guard against him and went from suspecting that he had approached him with a goal in mind to believing that he had approached him just because he was pleasing to the eyes.
Exactly, in Yan Qingjun’s heart, Yan Qiwen was just like a Yan puppy. He had his own principles based on beauty, and it was not known how he made judgements, but in any case, the people he considered important were very few, and Yan Qingjun was one of them, and was even one that he liked very much.

If Yan Qingjun knew that Xue Ling only regarded him as a pet, he would probably be angry enough to bite a chunk of meat off of him.
