Chapter 4 — Mermaid's Bride

As soon as the words ended, bullets immediately exploded: 【He he he, Mr. Lam, big swimming pools are just big swimming pools~】 【And "forget the old person"? Obviously an excuse! I just want to lure the beautiful woman into the house!】 【According to the original story, Lam Ky was afraid that Tri Diem would run away, so every day he thought of all kinds of tricks to "seduce" her!】 【From the outside, he looked serious and standard, but who would have thought that going to bed was both sweat and tears, and even more proactive than the female lead...】 Me: "..." My face was hot, my ears were pink, but I still pretended to be calm and nodded: "Then... listen." Mr. Lam.” Lam Ky raised his eyebrows and corrected in a low voice: "There's no need to be so distant. Just call me by name." I lowered my eyes and replied in a low voice: "Yes... Mr. Lam." Lam Ky: "..." I had to ignore it, didn't continue editing, asked directly: "Is there a lot of luggage? How long will it take to pack up?" I paused a bit. Wait... Are you in such a hurry?! “Not much… we can finish cleaning today.” Returning to the Chu family, I only packed a few clothes and my parents' relics. Before leaving, I stopped by the hospital. Trinh Tan was arrested, but his eight-year-old daughter was still in the hospital room, alone, waiting for surgery. I transferred a sum of money to the hospital account, enough for her to have the surgery. After everything was done, I boarded Lam Ky's private plane and flew straight to Ho Thanh at night. I originally thought he would take me back to his private villa, but as a result... he straightforwardly took me to a manor house as large as his private domain. Standing in front of the bedroom so big that it could be a horse race, I could only gasp: "Are you... planning to open a racing tournament in that room?" Lam Ky turned his head, his eyes were deep, his voice was faint: "What's wrong? Don't like it? Obviously when I was little... what I liked best were large rooms full of windows like this." I was stunned: "When I was a child?" Wait... Lam Ky and I have met before? "Didn't we just meet? Maybe... you knew me before?" Hearing that, Lam Ky's eyes became slightly gloomy, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, as if hiding a disappointment: "I... maybe I forgot." Immediately, bullets exploded on the screen before my eyes: 【It's normal to forget! At that time, Mr. Lam was still a small fish, caught in the laboratory, and was rescued by the woman's parents!】 【Fortunately, the woman's parents were oceanographers, they immediately saw that Lam Ky was an extremely rare species, but they were too busy, so the woman took care of all the time playing with the little fish.】 【The first time they met, the woman was only five years old, still a greedy little girl, making trouble every day to want to eat fish.】 【It was rumored that mermaids only differentiate between genders when they grow up, Lam Ky intentionally transformed into human form because... he wanted to be with the female companion.】 【As a result… after this gloomy mermaid came ashore, he discovered that the female companion was in love with someone else, so angry that he cried like a fish out of water, and then turned into a pervert who secretly spied on the female companion's life.】 I looked at the stream of bullets, my heart stirred, and then suddenly remembered what happened two years ago. That day, I had just reached my period and had low blood sugar. I was trembling and texting Chu Dat for help... hoping he would take me to the hospital. As a result, he just said coldly, worried that Chung Diem Diem wouldn't be safe when he got home, then grabbed a taxi at random, arbitrarily threw me in there... without once looking back. As soon as I got off the bus, I collapsed in shock, my leg hit the flower bed so hard, it was so painful that I unconsciously cried. There was chaos all around chaos, loud panicking sounds, until someone picked me up, ran through the rainy night, and took me straight to the hospital. I don't know who saved me that night. I only vaguely remember... someone carefully wiped the wound on my leg, close to my ear, his voice was hoarse and trembling: "Don't... don't love him anymore... Can you look at me just once? Choose me... is it okay?" Waking up, I thought it was just a dream. But later, when Chu Dat took my room for her because of Chung Diem Diem, I stood in the middle of the chaotic room, my heart aching, and finally decided to go out and rent a hotel. Unexpectedly, it was raining heavily in the middle of the road. His clothes were soaked, he was cold and shivering like a lost bird, crying as he walked in the gray rain. On that slippery road, an out-of-control car rushed straight towards me — In a moment of hazy consciousness, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a giant fish tail, sparkling like starlight under the deep water. Amidst the sound of the pounding rain, a low, warm male voice rang out that I can never forget: "Mieu Mieu... Don't love him anymore... I hate seeing you cry... I don't want... you to cry anymore..." However, that person's voice was trembling, choking even more than mine, yet still quietly begging: "Be my wife... okay?" Perhaps because two hurt people found each other, I vaguely whispered back: "Okay..." When I woke up again, I found myself lying in the room, all the furniture neatly arranged. But under the pillow, suddenly a piece of fish scale the size of a hand appeared. Five brilliant colors, sparkling like falling stars. At that time, I naively thought... this was a gift from Chu Dat. But now that I think about it — This piece of scale seems to be a mermaid's "unicorn". And the person who saved me that night... that voice... was exactly like Lam Ky! Realizing this, I jumped up from the bed as if struck by lightning and hastily rummaged through my suitcase. In a small wooden box, sure enough... I found that fish scale. Under the pale yellow light, the dark blue color on the scales is exactly like Lam Ky's eyes - quiet, deep, like the bottom of the sea containing the sky. I clearly remember that in the legend of the mermaid, "playing with the unicorn" is a mark that proves lifelong fidelity. Only when the mermaid determines her partner will she voluntarily give it, representing a vow of love, life and death will not change. But it's strange... You were clearly once such an important person, why... did I forget everything? It was like there was a thick fog, covering all the memories related to him - when I opened my eyes, there was only Chu Dat left in front of me. I suddenly remembered the small fish tank of my childhood... There was a shark in there. The fish tail sparkles, every time I see it I wave like a puppy, so adorable that I sit and watch it every day. Later, when the wound on its body had completely healed, my father released it back into the ocean. That day, I cried for a whole day, lingering and not wanting to leave. It turns out… we knew each other a long time ago. He used all his strength to swim towards me, but I thought... he and I had just met for the first time. Suddenly there was some vague guilt in my heart. 7 The next day, I looked for Lam Ky. He is swimming in the pool. In the large swimming pool, his sturdy body glided up and down, swimming quickly and fluently. Even though he no longer had a fish tail, every move... was still as beautiful as a mermaid. I sit next to it turned into a lake, his eyes never left him, captivated by the scene before his eyes. Until he discovered me, Lam Ky accelerated and swam towards this direction, reaching the edge of the pool in just a moment. Water droplets from his meticulously sculpted face flowed down along his strong chest muscles, gliding over each distinct line of his abs, finally disappearing under his tight gray swimming trunks. He loosely put on a towel, walked in front of me, his voice was low and a little hoarse: "Why are you up so early? Are you not familiar with the place?" I shook my head: "No, very familiar." Seeing his ears turn slightly red, I suddenly wanted to tease him a little. “You know… when I was little, I used to raise a blue mermaid.” I tilted my head, pretending to think: "I don't know what it eats to make it fat and round, so even though its tail is dazzlingly beautiful, every time I see it, I just think... if I cook it, it will be delicious." Lam Ky paused slightly, his deep eyes flashed with a smile, the corners of his lips curled into an elusive, sexy line: "So... can I eat yet?" I laughed and shook my head: "No." Then suddenly looking straight into his eyes, I slowly, very seriously said: "But..." "Just now... I saw another mermaid..." I deliberately paused, my eyes swept over the spacious chest and hidden abs, then smiled softly: "It looks... very delicious. I wonder... what it will taste like?" Lam Ky: “…” His ears immediately turned red as blood, the corners of his lips tightened, his eyes suddenly became confused, then he quickly turned his head to the side, not daring to look at me anymore. His broad, strong shoulders trembled slightly, and his ears were so red that blood could have dripped from them. “Do you remember me?” I curled my lips and teased him: "The old shark... seems to have gotten a lot thinner." Lam Ky faced me in the eyes, his voice was low, he smiled softly and replied: "Skinny... is still enough to feed me."
