Chapter 58 Mermaid is in love (1)

[Your family has been pharmacists for generations. Because you are exposed to a variety of drugs every day, each generation has suffered from a rare disease and is destined to not live past the age of 25. You are no exception.]

[In order to cure this disease, you learned a folk remedy. It is said that mermaids in the sea are the purest beings, and their bone marrow can cure all diseases in the human body.]

[You spared no expense to search for mermaids in various seas until you met Ling Zhan.]

[It was a handsome fish with a pure and kind heart. It was being hunted by the overlord of the ocean. Your crew accidentally fished it out, and it thought you saved it.]

[It is not a legend that a mermaid will fall in love with the human who saved her. She has fallen in love with you and is unwilling to leave you. You play along and stay with her.]

[Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. You were already 24 years old. When he loved you the most, you still locked him up, knocked him unconscious, pushed him onto the operating table, extracted his bone marrow, and mercilessly threw him back into the sea when he was at his weakest, without caring whether he lived or died.]

[Although bone marrow can regenerate, love seems to be irreversible. ]

[You successfully lived past the age of 25. When you were with Ling Zhan, you got a lot of information about the mermaid clan from it.]

[Other members of your family saw that you were not affected by the disease, and forced you to bring them to this sea area to find other mermaids, hoping to cure them.]

[You met Ling Zhan again, and it seemed a little different. ]

[Host, you and Ling Zhan haven't broken up yet. ]

Ning Chu: “?”

"I've been such a beast, and you haven't broken up yet?"

Great, it’s the beast’s turn again, we are hopeless.

System: [Well, after all, if we haven’t officially announced the breakup, it doesn’t count as a breakup.]

Ning Chu: “…”

So this Ling Zhan is her target again.

Now Ning Chu has accepted that the task given to her by the system is to reconcile with her boyfriend who has been tortured by her in various ways.

After all, recharging her soul with her boyfriend when she has nothing to do is much faster than repairing her soul alone.

After returning from the last world, I felt a lot more refreshed, and even this world didn’t seem so tiring anymore.

It may also be that she has been lying in this world and has not done anything else.

She was brought here by force by other members of the Ning family. Fearing that she would run away, other members of the family kept a close watch on her. Now not even a fly can get into her room.

The Ning family's generation is composed of young people no older than 25 years old. If they can't find the mermaid, they will all be desperate and doomed to die.

But Ning Chu is different. Ning Chu has already cured his illness.

She can live.

She cherished the life she had gained with great difficulty and did not want to lose it at the hands of this group of people, so she cooperated very well.

I told this group of people everything I learned from Ling Zhan about the mermaid clan.

To verify her words, they had been drifting on the ship for several days.

She hadn't had a chance to leave the room in the past few days.

But just now the system said that she had met Ling Zhan again, and it had become different.

I don’t seem to have any impression of it?
The boat suddenly shook violently and Ning Chu almost rolled off the bed.

She lay on the bed, trying to reduce the dizziness caused by the shaking.

The shaking lasted for about five minutes before it slowly stopped.

There were cheers coming from outside, and Ning Chu pricked up his ears to listen.

"I caught it! I didn't expect the legend of mermaids to be true!"

"It's a pity there's only one..."

"If one mermaid appears, it means there are other mermaids. We can just look for them again."

...

Ning Chu got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She had begun to get used to looking at the face in the mirror which was 90% similar to her own.

She had never thought that her parallel body was such a miraculous existence in these small worlds.

I opened the door, and surprisingly, there was no one guarding the door.

Probably they all went to see the mermaid that had just been salvaged.

Ning Chu also planned to go over and join in the fun.

I took just two steps when I felt someone following me.

She stopped and was about to look back when a white, slender hand covered her mouth and pushed her back into the room.

Ning Chu hit the man behind him hard in the chest with his elbow. Hearing a groan from him, he wanted to throw him out.

A deep male voice sounded in my ears, "It's me..."

Ning Chu: “?” Who?

While she was silent, the man dragged her back to the room.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, the man pushed her against the door panel, supported her sides with his hands, and confined her between his chest and arms.

He was a man with very delicate features but large red spots on his face.

Ning Chu just felt that he looked a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he was for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the man sneered with a painful look in his eyes, "Don't you recognize me? No wonder you didn't react when you saw me on the boat before."

His voice was hoarse, and a few more words revealed his unpleasant voice.

Ning Chu pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Chu Chu... I became like this because of you. You don't even recognize me..."

He pinched Ning Chu's chin with one hand and forced her to look at his face.

Those gray-blue eyes reminded Ning Chu of something, "Ling Zhan?"

"Hehe..." Ling Zhan let go of his hand. He slowly squatted down in front of Ning Chu and buried his hands in his arms. He didn't know if it was because of her attitude or because she recognized him just now, but he sobbed sadly.

This is not the Ling Zhan in Ning Chu’s memory.

He has long light blue hair and deep blue eyes, which are clear and pure, his skin is fair, he has translucent fins on his ears, and a fish tail that is so adorable, he is incredibly beautiful.

Now he has dry, frizzy black hair, and his clear eyes have turned gray-blue. Although his skin is still white, the red spots on his body are more obvious.

No one knew where the fins and tail had gone, and he now looked like an ordinary person with a little illness.

He said that he became like this because of her.

"Then why did you come to me?" Ning Chu asked.

She's already in such a miserable state, why are you still looking for her!
These love-brained people are hopeless!

Ling Zhan: “…”

It was as if I could hear the sound of my own heart breaking.

He came back to find her at all costs, and this was the first thing she said seriously to him?

"I'm here to seek revenge on you!"

He raised his head from his arms and stared at Ning Chu with red eyes.

Unfortunately, the look had no killing power at all, but instead carried a hint of pitifulness.

It hurts.

It’s heartbreaking... Ning Chu is not a human being.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

The system's voice sounded in my mind, [Host, please comfort me! ]

“……” Ning Chu swallowed back the words “it’s my own fault” stuck in his throat.

[Can you do what you did at the beginning of the first world? Flirt a little? Even if it's not sincere. ]

Ever since she learned that reconciling with her boyfriend was not a must, and in the previous worlds, she didn't have to say much, as he had already forgiven her.

Ning Chu is becoming more and more self-indulgent and lawless!

Ning Chu: "...it's just that these boyfriends are a little too easy to talk to."

He just clings to her without any strategy, she almost wants to give up. The system takes a deep breath, [But you will consume a person's emotions by doing this. ]

At this point, it paused and changed its statement, [Recovery is fastest when both parties are in love! Even if you pretend to be in love with him, he will love you more and more. If you keep giving one-sided love, there will be a limit, and the recovery value will not increase. ]

[Let me tell you this, if you simply change the fate of your parallel body, you will recover one point. If you let your boyfriend love you unilaterally, you will recover five points. If you love each other and let him feel the love, he will become more and more dependent on you, and his love will explode, and the recovery will reach an astonishing ten points! ]

[Do you understand? Just flirt with him casually, he is easy to capture. ]

Ning Chu: “…”

It's as if she hasn't made any effort and it's her who suffers every time charging, okay?
System: [……] You could have enjoyed it, but you chose to be the one who suffered. Who can you blame?
...

Ling Zhan was still squatting on the ground. After he said he wanted revenge on her, she fell silent.

His expression became strange, and he just muttered something, but he didn't hear it clearly.

Ling Zhan was a little sad.

If she didn't want him to take revenge, she could just tell him directly, and he didn't have to...

He reached out and gently poked Ning Chu's calf, trying to get her to come back to her senses and pay attention to him.

Ning Chu ended the communication with the system.

Looking at Ling Zhan's pitiful appearance, she pursed her lips.

See, she didn't even have to do anything, he seemed to have forgiven her again.

But thinking of what the system had just said, Ning Chu still squatted down and looked at Ling Zhan at eye level.

He just poked his leg, and Ning Chu poked back without any hesitation.

It was just a poke in his face.

The red spots on his face looked really scary.

"how did you make it?"

Ling Zhan avoided her gaze, lowered his head and did not answer her.

Ning Chu asked again: "How do you want to take revenge on me? Kill me?"

As she spoke, a dagger appeared in her hand. She took Ling Zhan's hand and placed the dagger in his palm.

Ling Zhan raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

Ning Chu gave him a look, as if hinting at him to stab her to death with a dagger for revenge.

In this situation, Ning Chu couldn't think of anything else that could allow him to vent his anger.

After all, she almost killed him.

In other words, Song Li in the previous copy did not say that he wanted to seek revenge on her. If he had said so, Ning Chu would have handed him the knife without hesitation.

After all, I really killed him.

She has always believed that I should treat others the way I am treated.

Only in this way can it be considered fair.

No matter how great the hatred was, she calmed down after she retaliated with the same method.

It's that simple.

I hope Ling Zhan is like this too.

Not sure if he had seen it wrong, Ling Zhan felt that there was a hint of expectation in Ning Chu's eyes.

Ling Zhan bit his lip, his eyes pretending to be fierce, "Don't think I don't dare!"

Ning Chu said: "Then hurry up, and we'll be even after you stab her."

"Who wants to settle accounts with you?"

Ling Zhan threw the dagger to the ground in despair, "I want you to feel guilty about me for the rest of your life!"

This way she will remember herself for the rest of her life.

Ning Chu: “…” She won’t feel guilty.

At most, he looks a bit pitiful.

It's better not to watch this situation.

I can't feel guilty at all.

Thinking of what the system said to him, Ning Chu held back and did not complain.

She lowered her head, picked up the dagger and put it away, "You didn't stab yourself."

"You didn't come to me for revenge, did you?"

Since you're not stabbing her, then it's not about revenge.

Ling Zhan was silent.

After a while he spoke, "I want to ask you, when we were together before, were you sincere, or were you just after my bone marrow?"

"Didn't we break up?" Ning Chu asked puzzledly.

What do you mean we didn’t break up when we were together before?

The system deceived her?
"No...didn't you break up?" Ling Zhan was also a little confused.

It seems like you haven’t officially talked about breaking up?
She just dumped him back into the sea after she extracted her own bone marrow.

"Then...then let's not break up."

He turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably and didn't look at Ning Chu.

Ning Chu nodded and waited for his next words.

Ling Zhan asked uncertainly, "Since we haven't broken up, then you really like me?"

"A little bit." Ning Chu told the truth.

Ling Zhan frowned, his face dark, and turned to look at Ning Chu with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean a little bit?"

Ning Chu said, "I went out to sea to look for mermaids to cure my illness, and I happened to meet you, and you happened to fall in love with me, and we happened to be together. I attacked you because I couldn't live any longer."

She couldn't figure out how the parallel body felt about him.

But she knew that if the parallel body was not dying, it would not have attacked Ling Zhan so quickly.

The parallel may like him a little, but she cares more about herself.

Ling Zhan was shocked by her words.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" She needed his bone marrow for medical treatment?

Ning Chu was silent.

Come to think of it, given Ling Zhan's love-brained personality, if the parallel body had told him directly that it needed his bone marrow to treat its illness, he would have given it to him without saying a word, right?

As expected, Ling Zhan looked at her seriously and said, "If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you! Why did you have to use such a sneaky method? I thought you... I thought you betrayed me..."

In the end, they ignored him and just abandoned him!

Ning Chu said nothing.

She also couldn't understand what her other self was thinking.

Ling Zhan looked at her silent appearance, stretched out his fingers, gently hooked her little finger, and asked with concern: "Then are you cured?"

Ning Chu nodded.

"It's okay." Ling Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, his grey-blue eyes seemed to become clearer.

"My bone marrow has grown again. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can continue..."

Before he could finish his words, Ning Chu suddenly covered his mouth.

He made a gesture to silence her and reminded her, "Don't say such things on the ship. Since you can transform into a human form now, don't let others discover your identity."

Ling Zhan blinked.

Ning Chu continued, "Most of the people on this ship are sick and are in urgent need of your mermaids' bone marrow. Do you understand?"

Ling Zhan nodded heavily and felt happy.

She is caring about herself!
