ARC 7 : I AM NOT A MERMAN

Chapter 73

Finally realizing and understanding the depth of his great mistake, Qin Yuan immediately went to find a jewelry designer without another word. He wanted it made in the same style as the one he was wearing to create a similar ring and started to look for a beautiful sapphire at the same time.

On the other side, the people of the research institute recruited several pairs of married couples as volunteers to conduct artificial embryo cultivation. The current technology has progressed to the point that it can imitate the development of pregnancies and embryos can be completely developed outside of the body. Ten pairs of couples all voluntarily offered their eggs and sperms and signed a confidential agreement.

The initial stage of the results gratifying; seven embryos have survived the early stages of pregnancy from the ten pairs. Although they have not taken form, it was already enough to thoroughly please and excite everyone. They all paid close attention to the embryos as they matured, waiting for the new lives to descend.

In that period of time, Shang Ke obtained a rare period of peace and happily led Waves out into the ocean to play. They found many bizarre things on the seabed. With how they were progressing in their scavenging, they would have enough to open a treasure exhibition hall at this rate. The ocean area was larger than land by several folds, so who would know just how much treasure is in it? Shang Ke would always have a new discovery whenever he went out and fell deeply in love with the sea.

Qin Yuan built a treasure room for Shang Ke to store the treasures he found and brought back. He just didn't expect that dolphins would also have a collecting hobby and even had great taste. The things he gathered all have some sort of collection value.

Qin Yuan found Flames already sleeping when he entered the bedroom. His head was leaning on the dolphin pillow, his breathing even and his slightly parted lips looked as if bubbles would be blown out at any moment.

Qin Yuan's gaze was full of gentleness as he quietly walked over and leaned over to land a kiss on his forehead. Then, he took Shang Ke's left hand and slid a sapphire ring on his finger. The stone was azure like the deep color of the sea. It looks like a pair with the one he was wearing.

"Flames, I wish for you to stay with me forever, as my lover." Qin Yuan dipped his head down to land a kiss on the stone this time, his deep voice like the low-tone of a cello, echoing in the quiet room.

Qin Yuan silently gazed at Flames for a moment, then placed his hand inside the blanket. He got back up and headed for the bathroom.

Listening to the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing, the formerly sleeping Shang Ke suddenly opened his eyes. He raised his left hand to look at the ring Qin Yuan had just placed onto his finger and a happy smile unknowingly made its way onto his face. He hugged his pillow and bit into it, then jumped out of bed and tiptoed his way to the bathroom. Outside the door, he used a finger to slowly pushed the door open, poking his head in like a ghost ready to cause trouble, staring at the naked man showering inside.

Upon hearing some noise, Qin Yuan turned to see what caused it, and his eyes met a pair of gleaming clear eyes that could drown him in love in moments.

"Flames, you're awake." Qin Yuan pretended to be calm, assuming a straight face that could not be moved by beauty.

Shang Ke's hand slowly drew circles on the door, the sapphire on his finger gleaming as he did so and he slowly spoke, "I suddenly really want to play with water."

Qin Yuan's heart was tickled by his actions of drawing circles on the door and his abdomen tightened, but he still spoke without obvious change to his demeanor, "It's so late, so let's not play with water anymore."
