Ch95 - When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble General Lou to cover up for me (2/2)
The shopkeeper did not know what the relationship between the two of them was, but he obviously could not ignore it when he saw his own customer being pulled away in his own store. He stood behind Xue Ling and opened his mouth to say, “Sir, whatever the reason, you should let go first. This guest is not a breeder like you, and your actions can hurt him.”
Lou Cen froze. He had heard much more threatening words before, but this was the first time he had heard that someone’s wrist would be hurt by his pulling, so he unconsciously released the other party’s hand.
The subconscious mind could see through many problems. After considering this person’s appearance, Lou Cen’s mind came up with a terrible guess.
The closer he looked at the young man currently rubbing his wrist, the clearer the feeling became. The feeling of liking someone could not be faked, and the unreasonable attraction also could not deceive anyone. As long as he appeared, regardless of the occasion or setting, Lou Cen would barely be able to take his eyes off him.
He spoke very deliberately. “Wenwen?”
Xue Ling stiffened, his expression cold as he said, “I’m not some ‘Wenwen’. Distinguished breeder sir, you have the wrong person.”

This kind of argument might have been able to trick the man in the previous few lifetimes, but it was not very effective in this life. Although the man would lose his memories every time, there were some things that could not be taken away simply because his memories were lost. For example, the wild beating of his heart for his partner, or the love that had been accumulated through several worlds.
All of that was enough for the man to recognize a particular person at a glance in the vast crowd, even if he had changed his face several times, or switched from a fishtail to legs.
“I think we need to have a good talk, Wenwen.”
Xue Ling’s face was impatient as he said, “I said, I am not the ‘Wenwen’ you are talking about.”
Just as his voice fell, a message popped up from his nano-computer. Because of the way it was set up, a merchild’s guardian had the right to directly open the nano-computer’s camera without the merperson’s permission, allowing them to see the merperson’s surroundings. Xue Ling quickly turned the camera and pointed it at Lou Cen.
The fact that he was currently walking with two feet on the ground could not be made known to people from the Duke’s Palace.
“Wenwen, where are you? Even if you want to buy a gift, you can’t run out alone. Tell me where you are. I’ll pick you up.” Yan Chuhuan’s figure popped up, directly piercing through Xue Ling’s identity. Now, he couldn’t quibble over it even if he wanted to.
Xue Ling was scolding Yan Chuhuan in his heart for exposing him on one side, while hinting at Lou Cen with his eyes on the other so that he would speak up and not expose his current situation.
Lou Cen very accurately interpreted Xue Ling’s meaning. He opened his mouth and said, “Big brother Yan, Wenwen is with me right now. I just met up with him, and will send him home safely. You don’t have to worry.”
Yan Chuhuan’s face became strange. “Lou Cen?”
“That’s me.”
“Who are you calling big brother?”
“Wenwen’s big brother is naturally my big brother.”
Yan Chuhuan: “…” Didn’t they all say Lou Cen was not eloquent? Being able to say such shameless words without any change in expression or heartbeat made it difficult to believe. If this counted as being ineloquent, many people would be angered to death!

“Where are you two now?”
“In Central Mall.” Lou Cen calmly stated, “Wenwen hasn’t bought his gift yet. I’ll send him home after I’ve helped him choose. You guys don’t have to worry about it.” After that, he slapped the nano-computer shut, tugged on Xue Ling’s hand, and signalled for him to put the nano-computer back.
Xue Ling snorted coldly. At least he knew how to read the situation. He turned to go. “Follow me.”
Having confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, Lou Cen’s mood was unprecedentedly good.After all, he was also very depressed about not being able to see him in recent days. Since Xue Ling had ordered him to follow, he naturally would do so without a thought. Although the little merman seemed to have some minor problems, what he liked was the person, and not the fishtail. Looking carefully, the merman with two legs was also very cute.~
Xue Ling felt rather speechless when he felt the hot gaze of the person following him. He casually found a shop and asked for a private room, leading Lou Cen inside. He ordered some dishes that came quickly, but Lou Cen did not speak the entire time and only stared at him greedily, as though he would never see enough.
Xue Ling could get used to the stares , but to constantly stare, staring from right across from him, and to stare silently for such a long time, this kind of feeling was too strange, and he couldn’t bear it. So he finally spoke, “Didn’t you want to ask me something?”
“If Wenwen wants to say it, or feels that he can tell me, then I’ll listen. If Wenwen wants to hide from me, or feels that I’m not qualified to know, then I will strive for the qualifications to know these things.” He touched the rim of his glass and stared at Xue Ling’s lips. It was even more colorful than the red wine in the glass, and made him especially want to kiss them and properly lick them to see if it was as sweet as the wine in his hand.

Xue Ling felt his scalp tingle from the man’s foolish gaze, and spoke rather disdainfully, “Even if I don’t tell you about it, you’re still not allowed to tell anyone about seeing me with two legs today!”
“Although I also want to help Wenwen preserve a secret that only belongs to the two of us, the premise is that I need to know if this secret will affect Wenwen’s health.” There were some problems that could not be easily swept away. “If your tail can transform into a pair of legs, will it damage your body? Will you feel uncomfortable when you walk with your legs?”
He spoke with deep affection. “If you want to walk, I can be your legs. You don’t have to sneak around like this, having to sneak out just to walk.”
Xue Ling lifted his eyes and looked at him before nodding his head and saying, “Okay, in the future I’ll use your name when I want to go out and do things.” He smiled widely, and did not seem at all like a silly and sweet child. “When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble General Lou to cover up for me.”
Lou Cen: “…” He hadn’t answered his question yet, but still managed to dig a hole in front of him for him to jump into.
He was really worthy of being his little merman. Not only could he change the topic, he could also use his affection for him to achieve his goals.
After becoming aware of his own usefulness in the other person’s hands, not only did Lou Cen not feel worried, he felt the beginnings of joy instead.

He was willing to accept and try anything that would allow the little merman to remember him.
