Chapter 5 — Mermaid's Bride

Bullets immediately exploded: 【May I ask, are you opening a food channel?!】 【Can you please stop flirting in front of me? I want to see what it's like to eat straight away!】 【Tri Diem's obsession with "cuisine" has lasted for eighteen years and has never changed!】 【Lam Ky's body like this, anyone who looks at it will say "deserves to eat the best"! Woman, don't cast the bait anymore, cast straight, he'll bite too!】 Realizing my eyes accidentally stopped at my chest and abdominal muscles, Lam Ky suddenly gently pulled my hand, his voice was low, hoarse, with a hint of challenge: "Do you want to touch it?" Me: “…” I swear, I really have no evil intentions at all! But… this hand… it moves automatically! 8 Completely different from my bloody imagination, life at Lam Gia is strangely peaceful. Lam Ky rarely goes to the company, most of the time handling work at home. One time, I was watching a movie, looked up and discovered... he was quietly looking at me. When I caught him, he didn't shy away, just calmly responded with gentle eyes. In the end… the loser is always me. He is completely different from everything I thought he was. He has a cold, distant face, but does everything with unimaginable meticulousness. I grew my hair to waist length. Every time I washed it, I was too lazy to dry it. He didn't allow me to. He took the dryer himself and stood behind me. His long, thin, warm fingers gently slid into my hair, gently ruffling it... A very slight feeling of numbness ran from the top of my head straight down to my heart. Because I brought very few clothes, he directly invited the designer to come to my house, measure my body proportions, and tailor a series of beautiful dresses for me. Every day, he was so excited and never tired, he personally coordinated my clothes and did my hair, like he was playing a "living dress up" game. On nights when I drank a lot of milk tea and couldn't sleep, he would sit on the edge of the bed and quietly sing lullabies piece by piece. The mermaid's voice... soft, clear, like the sound of the tide passing through sand waves. Hearing his voice, I felt like I had turned into a small boat, sleeping soundly in the gentle ocean. He was so gentle, so gentle that... he didn't look human anymore. Even though he's not really human, in my eyes, Lam Ky has never appeared a bit "dark and gloomy". I used to believe that the bullets were false information, because he was always calm, rational, gentle to the point of... not at all like "a wet, crying, possessive pervert" like in the rumors. …Until that rainy night. The sky suddenly burst with thunder, heavy rain fell like a waterfall, the whole world had only the sound of rain mixed with the sound of wind. From the second floor window, I saw the outdoor swimming pool like a miniature piece of the deep sea. In the dark blue water, a giant fish tail sparkled in five colors like starlight pouring down to the bottom of the sea. His skin was drenched in water, every strong muscle gliding under the waves, in that moment... he was no longer "human" anymore. The singing sounded, unlike the usual gentle lullabies. It was a low, seductive melody, each syllable seemed to hook into a nerve ending, gently pulling me step by step closer to the pool. I don't know when I walked over, I just saw Lam Ky reaching out his hand, gently pulling my hand and placing it on his heart. Thump… thump… The heartbeat is heavy and strangely hot. Just for a second I lost my balance and I slipped fell into the water, straight into his arms. Just as I was about to pull away, I caught a glimpse of a clear, sparkling drop in the corner of his eye. “Mieu Mieu…” He softly called my name, his voice trembling like an abandoned child. I reached out my hand to catch that drop of water, unexpectedly it turned into a transparent pearl. This pearl... is a mermaid's pearl. His hand tightened around my waist, his soft giant fish tail gently wrapped around my calf, as if he was possessing me, as if he was cooing and begging. “Mieu Mieu…” His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of sobbing: “Do you… like it?” I was startled by the call, the corners of my lips trembled: "Like... what?" His blue eyes as dark as the bottom of the sea looked at me intently, with a faint but dangerous smile: "My taste. Try it once... see if it's delicious?" A red berry was brought to my lips, the scent was gentle and sweet. I unconsciously took a bite, and the next second, the mermaid's soft sobs rang out in my ears. He pulled me close to his chest, his soft lips taking away all refusals. At that moment, I truly believed - Lam Ky... is extremely good at seduction. I don't know if the stormy day really has a special meaning for the mermaid or not... But tonight, he took away his usual gentleness and restraint, leaving only the original, instinctive Lam Ky. The long, white hair tangled with mine, the wide, hot chest next to me, the scent of the salty sea, filling my breath. His hand gently covered my lips, his hoarse breath wrapped around my ear: "Don't say anything..." "Don't refuse me, Mieu Mieu..." "Can... let me say two sentences? Do you look like someone who wants to refuse?" In my mind, I suddenly remembered the bullets from before - 【Later, when Tri Diem lost her voice, Lam Ky cried fiercely and madly every time, knowing she couldn't answer, he would alone play two roles, composing all the dark teasing...】 Lam Ky gently grabbed my wrist, slid my hand down, caressing the smooth scales of the fish's tail. His eyes were dim, bewildered, carrying a deep madness: "When I heard that... you wanted to commit suicide because of that "adoptive brother", I... was scared out of my wits, Mieu Mieu. Afraid... I would never see you again." “Every time I see you cry, it hurts so much that I want to kill them all.” His long fingers tightened around my palm, his voice choked up as if filled with despair: "But I'm afraid you'll blame me, afraid you'll hate me. {Read full at Van Ha's love page} Obviously... I'm the one who can give you happiness." The rain water mixed with the sound of his heartbeat, his voice faintly mixed with the thunder, vibrating in his chest: "Mieu Mieu... you see, you don't need them, you still have me... don't you?" The dark blue fish tail gracefully glided around, softly wrapping around my bare leg, like a thin silk chain, gently holding me, with no way back. "Mieu Mieu... a mermaid only loves one person in her whole life. Don't leave me... okay?" The sound of rain, thunder, and water hitting the lake wall mixed into a vibrating song, surrounding me, pushing me into his hot arms. In the warm water, sweat and tears fell, making a soft "click" sound, turning into pearl drops rolling in the water waves. A mermaid's tears... are pearls. Being swept away by waves of pleasure took it, my eyes blurred, a piece of bitterness burst in my throat. I bit hard on his palm. Lam Ky trembled slightly, then laughed lowly, his voice filled with love and madness: "Mieu Mieu... so adorable..." When the rain stopped and the thunder stopped, I was soft in his arms, my whole body seemed to turn into a puddle of lake water. Lam Ky returned to his usual appearance, hugged me and carried me into the room, carefully using a towel to dry each strand of hair, his movements were so gentle that my heart trembled. Seeing my silence, he felt a little confused, his voice was light as if afraid of hurting me: "Sorry..." But before he could finish speaking, I put my finger on his lips, blocking that apology. “Who said… you're going to refuse me?” My deep blue eyes shook slightly. I smiled softly and whispered in his ear: "Lam Ky, I don't like Chu Dat, and I'm no longer entangled with him." “Marrying you... is of my own free will.” His long eyelashes trembled, there was still a tear in the corner of his eye that hadn't yet fallen. After hearing my words, he seemed stunned for a moment. I gently stroked his cheek and softly said: "I didn't lie to you. I won't leave. Whatever you want... I can give it to you." Lam Ky's eyes flashed with hot light for a moment. His whole body covered me, forcing me to fall onto the bed, his breathing heavy in my ear: "Really?" His voice was hoarse, filled with trembling and suppressed desire: "Even if... you are lying to me, I still accept it..." "Because, Mieu Mieu, I have long been your prisoner..." "This whole life... as long as you want it, I am willing to give it." That night... he didn't cry anymore. On the contrary — it's me. Being entangled, teased, and seduced by him, to the point of crying without making a sound, lips being kissed until numb, voice hoarse, until... no longer had the strength to moan. There was a moment when I suddenly felt... Lam Ky was not a fish, but a cow - both strong and stubborn, forcing people with no way out. The next morning, I dragged my scarred body up from the bed, a light blue fish-tail scale mark clearly visible on my collarbone. Lam Ky held my hand, her long slender fingers gently kneading, the corners of her lips curved into a smile that was both sexy and dangerous, her voice was low and hoarse: "The mermaid's bride... Mieu Mieu, don't try to escape."
