Married To The Mermen King Volume 1 Chapter 17

Lu Mengmeng tightly gripped the ticket, carefully put it in her pocket, and hurried back to the room.

In the corridor, Danjinos leaned his shoulder against the wall as he saw his fiancée, whose face was full of happiness. He couldn't help frowning.

The ticket showed that the opening time was in two hours. Mengmeng dressed herself up and looked at herself in the mirror. She wore the black dress that had been designed by Lin Ruize for herself. If she saw the movie with Lin Ruize in this dress, would he understand what she meant?

Thinking of this, Mengmeng bit the corner of her lip and smiled sweetly.

When she was ready, she slung a black satchel over her shoulder and tiptoed to go out; she literally did not want to make any trouble with the merman.

"Where are you going?"

Just as she poked her head out of the room, there was a cold voice in her ear.

This was terrible! She was discovered!

Mengmeng was dejected, and she slowly turned around and put a pleasant smile on her face.

"I . . . I don't think you've recovered yet, so . . . uh, um, I'm going to buy you something delicious! Yes, delicious. . . Hha. . ."

The girl smiled with a guilty face and nervously grasped the black strap in front of her chest. She swallowed silently.

"Really?"

The red fish tail supported the man so he faced the girl, slowly moving in her direction more and more. As he approached, Lu Mengmeng's heart unconsciously beat quicker.

The man's slender fingers ran through the soft ends of her hair, and the corners of his mouth rose up, revealing a cold hmm. "Did you dress up so nicely for that? And wear perfume, too?"

Lu Mengmeng was too nervous to breathe.

"That . . . is just a little grooming. I usually pay too little attention to my personal appearance; after all, a girl still needs to be elegant, right? I think we have to respect the food. So, I think it's necessary to dress up. Hhha. . ."

As soon as she uttered these words, she regretted it and wanted to slap herself. Lu Mengmeng, what are you talking about?

"And the dress you are wearing was designed for you by Lin Ruize, wasn't it? Look at you, acting like those females that show off when they meet the male they like. Are you going to date the man surnamed Lin?" Danjinos raised his chin, and his face became more displeased, and the red of his eyes faded.

d.a.m.n! He guessed it!

Lu Mengmeng's slightly frowned in confusion as to what to do as she bit her lip in helplessness. However, before she could find a perfect excuse to excuse her actions, she felt her shoulder flinch and a light wind by her ear as Danjinos took away the black bag she clutched in front of her.

"Let me see what's in it. . ."

As the man talked, he began to flip her bag open. Lu Mengmeng was stunned at first, and then she became angry.

"Danjinos, what are you doing? Give me my bag back now! "

The movie ticket that was given to her by Lin Ruize was inside, and if this guy found it . . .

No!

The idea had just flashed through Lu Mengmeng's mind when it happened. Danjinos held a square piece of paper just as big as the palm of his hand.

It was the ticket that was given to her by Lin Ruize!

"Er, you are going to see the movie. . ." Danjinos licked the corner of his mouth, his voice became frozen for a moment, and the air seemed to be frozen by the dangerous aura emanating from him.

"Give it back to me now!" Lu Mengmeng took a violent step forward, trying to grab the ticket, but Danjinos skillfully flashed by her, holding the ticket. His face instantly faded to nearly normal. "I will not allow you to date him."

What?

Lu Mengmeng was frustrated. She had tolerated it repeatedly these days, but this guy was still unappeasable. Moreover, she and Lin Ruize were at the critical stage of confirming their relationship. She would never allow anyone—ah, no, any creature—to block this relationship.

"If you don't give it back to me, I'll grab it."

Lu Mengmeng knotted her eyebrows and stared at the ticket in Danjinos’ hand.

"Really?" He was not impressed by the stout words she used at all. Instead, he pinched one corner of the ticket with his left hand and the other side in his right hand. There was a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Is he going to tear up the ticket?

Lu Mengmeng did not know where her courage came from. She leaped forward and pushed Danjinos hard. He did not expect that she would attack him so suddenly. He staggered back half a step and accidentally stepped on a box on the ground and fell down.

Mengmeng came forward, grabbed the ticket in his hand, then she stepped over his body and ran out quickly.

"Abhorrent. . ."

Danjinos pounded on the floor angrily as the girl's pet.i.te figure disappeared from his face.

If it hadn't been for my illness, she would not have succeeded at all.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the cinema.

Lin Ruize, carrying his schoolbag, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw that Lu Mengmeng, who was breathless, appeared in front of him, he was surprised at first, and then looked behind her.

n.o.body.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting a long time."

"No." Lin Ruize shook his head, raised his wrist, and looked at his watch. "The movie is about to start. Let's go."

Lin Ruize chose the newly released X-Men, and the immense screen of IMAX brought unparalleled sensory experience to them, but neither of them was in the movie.

Lu Mengmeng's heart kept beating nervously. She didn't know when Lin Ruize would confess to her, but only knew that he would confess to her.

Therefore, every second with him had become a surprise to her—what she had been looking forward to for a long time could happen at any time.

But what Lin Ruize thought was another thing.

After watching the movie, Lin Ruize offered to go to the mall.

"Does Danjinos dislike me?" Lin Ruize hesitated for a long time before finally asking this question.

Lu Mengmeng looked at him strangely. "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"That's . . .  I feel like I offended him somewhere, but I don't know exactly what's wrong, so I wanted to ask you." Lin Ruize scratched his hair and revealed his innocence.

Lu Mengmeng rubbed her nose and comforted him by saying, "This is the way he is. He has a bad temper. Don't worry about it."

She couldn't tell Lin Ruize that this guy was jealous. In the case that Lin Ruize was nervous, he might put off the plan of professing later. Maybe she was not worth it.

"There's a jewelry store over there. Would you like to go and see it?" Lin Ruize looked at her. The lights of the shopping mall shined on his face, and then the boy's fine hair reflected a shadow on his face.

Lu Mengmeng felt as if there were fireworks exploding in her heart.

Ha! Isn't that the most common routine in idol dramas? Boys take girls to pick out jewelry. They say they want to give it to others. In fact, they will at last give it to the girl.

Lin Ruize, it seems that you have learned a lot of routines, too.

Lu Mengmeng smiled at one corner of her mouth and happily followed the boy into the shop.

"Does this bracelet look good?" Lin Ruize took a piece of silver jewelry in his hand and put it on her wrist for comparison. It was decorated with a fish pattern, which looked nice on Lu Mengmeng's slender wrist.

Sure enough, the first step of the idol dramas had appeared!

Lu Mengmeng was surprised, but her expression was mixed.

"Good." She nodded desperately, and her joy could not be concealed.

"I think it's beautiful, too." As Lin Ruize said this, he went to the counter to check out. While the cashier was typing up the receipt, he also looked back at Mengmeng. "If it was given to a girl, she would like it very much, right?"

Lu Mengmeng was so happy that she had no idea what to say. It seemed that this guy was going to surprise her. But Lin Ruize, being pig-headed, had made such an obvious hint; how could she not see it?

But the girl held in reserve. She had to say, "How do I know this? For the gift, the most important thing is to see who the gift giver is."

Lin Ruize looked at her and nodded thoughtfully.

Back home, Lu Mengmeng carefully took out the key to open the door.

She was worried that as soon as she entered the door, she would see Danjinos standing at the door, waiting for her with a hammer.

Oh, good. There's no ambush at the door.

However, Lu Mengmeng's happiness did not last long. When she walked into the living room, she knew how wrong she was.

On the sofa, Danjinos' long fish tail was trailing on the table as he watched TV with a dead fish face.

It was unkind to think of ditching a sick person at home and going out on a date. Lu Mengmeng took out the cake from the paper bag and carried it to Danjinos with both hands.

"I bought it for you. Would you like to try it?"

Danjinos was still unmoved to her, who was eager to please him, and kept his eyes fixed on the picture on television.

"Why can't I compare with that fox? Why did you abandon me?!"

A woman's sharp voice came from the TV, and Lu Mengmeng involuntarily shivered.

"Brother, can we change the channel?"

Danjinos did not speak, but he responded to her with real action.

The picture on TV changed from CCTV Golden File to Hunan TV Golden Eagle Theatre.

"Why? You are my fiancée. How can you fall in love with other men?"

Er. . .

Mengmeng helplessly raised her head. She looked at Danjinos, and hesitated again.

He was constantly changing the channel. Even more strange was that every channel was playing Taiwanese dramas about women being abandoned. Danjinos switched to each channel, where people were uttering in deafening roars, "Why do you want to leave me?" "Why do you fall in love with others?" on each drama.

This was the deep cry of Danjinos' soul suffering.

These words of abandoned women put Lu Mengmeng's heart to a severe test. She covered her heart and looked at Danjinos with a pleading face. "What would you do?"

The answer was a new channel—a new drama of more abandoned women.

Due to the torture of heart, Lu Mengmeng accompanied Danjinos silently to watch his choice of drama about deserted and forsaken women for two hours.

Two hours! Because of it, she felt she like she had been elected to be one of this year's Top Ten People Who Have Moved the Biosphere.

"It's getting late. It's time for you to take a rest." Lu Mengmeng looked at the clock on the wall. The hour hand was pointing to the number ten.

"When you stepped over my body today, my heart died. I am a dead fish now." Danjinos confessed mournfully, a short sentence that condensed the personification of dozens of the dramas about abandoned women.
