Chapter 224
Xi Ning silently looked at the line of words, and his ears gradually turned red.
When he was alone in the room, he was in the water all day long. What was there to see?
The bed was already made, and the subordinates left the room one after another. When Louis approached Xi Ning, he lowered his head and saw the monitor that had been turned on.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Louis told himself that since the layout of the rooms on the spaceship were basically almost the same, Xi Ning might not be able to notice where it was.
Xi Ning raised his head with the monitor in his hand, with complicated emotions in his eyes. “You……”
Louis casually took the monitor away, turned it off and put it aside, deliberately making a stern expression. “Who allowed you to touch my things?”
Xi Ning stood up holding on to the chair as support, but he still lost his balance and almost fell, so Louis directly picked him up.
“I can walk by myself. You let me down.” Xi Ning stretched out his hand and pushed him, but Louis wouldn’t budge an inch. Xi Ning stared at him and whispered, “Pervert……”
“Scolding me again?” Louis gritted his teeth, walked a few steps to the bed and threw Xi Ning onto it, leaning over to hold his hand. “Am I being so nice to you that I let you get the better of me every day?”
The scales he was wearing around his neck fell out as he moved. Xi Ning glanced down, not wanting to be outdone. “Then why do you look at me everyday?”
Since Xi Ning already knew that the surveillance camera was in his room, Louis didn’t deny it. He lowered his head and got closer to him until the tip of his nose was about to touch Xi Ning’s. “What if someone stole you if I don’t guard you carefully?”
This was his territory, so who dared to steal from Louis? Plus there was nowhere to hide him either. Xi Ning was silent for a while, then raised his head and rubbed at Louis’. “Do you really like me that much?”
Louis panicked, subconsciously wanting to refute “who likes you”, but his intuition told him if he really said that Xi Ning would definitely be angry, so he said in an indirect way, “Who wouldn’t like you, when you look so attractive?”
Xi Ning was still angry when he heard the words, he raised his foot and kicked on Louis’ lower abdomen, trying to kick him off.
Louis let go of him, got up, patted his clothes. He then grabbed Xi Ning’s leg and put it back in place. “I have something to do and need to go out. Do you want to come with me?”
“Don’t want to.” Xi Ning sat up and took off his shoes. He slept a lot every day when he was a mermaid and hadn’t changed his habit back, so he was already feeling sleepy at this time. “I want to sleep for a while.”
Louis responded and helped him pull the quilt over to cover him, “Someone is guarding outside. Sleep in peace, and I’ll call you at lunch.”
Xi Ning nodded, and was much more well-behaved than before. Louis vaguely grasped his temperament, bent over to touch his short hair and then left.
At lunch, Xi Ning stopped eating a little bit of food like before. After he turned into a human, his appetite began to be close to that of a normal person, and he especially wanted to eat Chinese food.
Louis originally planned to have the meal brought over, but Xi Ning didn’t want to stay in the room. He wanted to go to the cafeteria with Louis. It didn’t matter if he was surrounded by people.
Louis agreed quickly, thinking that since Xi Ning would have to stay here for a long time, it was a good thing to get familiar with his subordinates.
So he led Xi Ning to the cafeteria and sat down at his exclusive table. This was the place where even some of the trusted subordinates like Langdon had only sat on the edge, no one else dared to approach it. But now a young man with silver hair and blue eyes was sitting next to Louis and was waiting for his meal.
Louis had already brought Xi Ning out once in the morning, but there were still many people quietly looking at him at this time. They didn’t dare to be too blatant since Louis was still beside him, but Xi Ning could still feel their gaze.
But he didn’t feel any malicious intent. Most of them are just very curious about him, especially about his fish tail that had turned into legs.
Soon, someone brought over two plates, the meals of which were already divided into two portions, very homey, with three meats and two vegetables, and a small bowl of soup.
Louis wiped the chopsticks with a tissue and handed it to him. “Are you used to eating these?”
In the past, when Xi Ning was a mermaid, Louis always thought that he didn’t seem to have much interest in eating. Most of the food he sent was biscuits and cakes. Xi Ning couldn’t eat much, and he never asked for more food.
Louis was also worried whether Xi Ning knew how to use chopsticks. He saw him dexterously pick up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth while nodding. “I’m used to eating this.”
The lives of these interstellar pirates were pretty good. Every few days, there were people who specially bought fresh ingredients. Today’s dish was steamed fish. Louis picked the fishbones from the fish in his bowl, tilted his head and asked, “You are also a fish. Do you eat fish?”
Xi Ning glanced at him and pointed to another serving of fried shredded pork with green peppers. “Then can you eat this?”
Louis didn’t know why he asked that but still answered, “Yes.”
“Then why can’t I eat fish?” Xi Ning turned his head and ignored him, stuffed a mouthful of rice with chopsticks and stretched them out to the place where the fish were placed.
Louis realized that Xi Ning was referring to him as a pig. He raised the corners of mouth and laughed a few times then pulled Xi Ning’s plate and exchanged the two servings of fish. “Eat this. There are no bones on it.”
The pieces of fish were basically intact, and all the bones were removed. In fact, this kind of fish only had some big bones but Louis still worried that Xi Ning would get injured by it.
