The Mermaid is a Love Brain [Female Supreme]

Chapter 8 : Victim of Rumors

Chi Mei felt a bit embarrassed, his thick long lashes fluttering shyly over the ripples in his eyes. A man’s long hair was not to be casually touched.

But thinking back to how he had hurt Jiang Yang’s feelings by rejecting her courtship, he felt he owed her. Now it was just a light touch of his hair, so he indulged her. Besides, he didn’t mind, it felt quite comfortable.

The original merman taming room was dark and unventilated. Chi Mei also liked to splash his tail, getting water from the bucket everywhere. As soon as one walked in, they could feel the heavy dampness.

Despite Lan Qian’s dissuasion, Jiang Yang moved Chi Mei to the second floor conference hall of the wheelhouse, which had windows on the north and south, bright and airy.

Arriving in the brand new environment, Chi Mei curiously looked around. There was a huge nautical chart on the wall of the conference hall. Although Chi Mei could speak human language, he couldn’t read and found it uninteresting.

The conference table originally below the nautical chart had been moved away, leaving only a lonely small stool in the corner. On the stool was a celadon vase with a phoenix spout, with a peacock feather casually inserted as decoration.

“I want that!” Chi Mei pointed to the colorful peacock feather.

The several crew members who had just moved Chi Mei to the wheelhouse looked at each other. Although the peacock feather was not an expensive item, it was after all the master’s belonging. Without Jiang Yang present, they couldn’t make the decision.

Seeing the crew members not moving, Chi Mei slightly frowned. If they wouldn’t give it to him, forget it. He would go find Yang later. Yang would definitely give it to him.

But…

“Remove that screen.” Chi Mei lowered his eyes, displeased, pointing at the eight-panel screen used as a divider.

“This—” A crew member asked, “Is this screen not good?”

Chi Mei didn’t say anything, his voice muffled. The screen was nice-looking, but it depicted eight beautiful men. One had refined, gentle, and graceful features; one had slightly lifted eyes, like spring water and autumn waves; one had round apricot eyes, lively and vivid… In short, they were all strikingly handsome men of different styles.

Putting these men in his room was really troubling.

“Uh, wait a moment, we’ll ask the Second Miss.” The crew members withdrew, leaving Chi Mei alone staring at the eight beauties on the screen, the window lattice casting a shadow on his face.

The crew members came together to Jiang Yang’s door. Lan Qian stood guard outside and stopped them. “The Second Miss is busy. What business do you have?”

The crew members truthfully reported. Lan Qian, who already had a poor impression of Chi Mei, snorted. “Causing trouble.”

“Isn’t that right? You said the Second Miss went to all this trouble for this merman. How bothersome. And I see this little beast, spoiled by the Second Miss, has nearly forgotten his own status. He actually ordered us around like servants and was picky about food and drink. At noon when we fed him, he wouldn’t eat lobster, insisting on bluefin tuna, and only the belly meat, nothing else.” A crew member complained.

Lan Qian mocked, “A little beast, relying on the master’s indulgence, has forgotten his place. I’ll go have a word with him. Let’s go!”

Lan Qian kicked the door open. The fierce sun shone through the window lattice onto Chi Mei’s fishtail scales, each one seemingly emitting a glassy radiance.
