"sorry."

After finally waiting for the water to calm down, Alfred pressed his tail hard and apologized to Tari Topsyth blankly.

His tail drooped, but the tip of his tail was taut.

Tang Xiaomi finally understands why Tali Topsyth said that a dexterous tail is helpful to interpret emotions... At least now he can see at a glance that Alfred is very frustrated with his subconscious action just now, and at the same time he is very frustrated. nervous.

"I can't control it."

Alfred said.

He could barely endure when Tali Topsyth touched his tail before, but once the opponent touched the cracks in the scales-his body seemed to be completely out of his control, completely conditioned reflexively. The other party was photographed away.

This is totally a subconscious instinct, and he really can't control it.

"...This is a bit troublesome."

Tali Topsyth struggled to tear himself off the wall, then rubbed his head desperately with his tentacles, and finally rubbed his pie-shaped face back to its original cute Zhengtai appearance.

Thankfully, he was not angry—after all, he had been in the dangerous position of the imperial physician for so many years and was more or less accustomed to it.

After that, he tried several times cautiously, but once he touched Alfred’s scales and tried to get those parasites down... he would be slapped directly by Alfred, who was completely uncontrollable. go out.

As Tali Topsy's face became more and more flat, Tang Xiaomi also became more and more worried.

"Is there no other way? If you don't remove these parasites but let them fall off naturally..."

He asked hesitantly.

And Tali Topsyth's film shook wavyly.

“Of course it’s okay to fall off naturally, but the parasites may keep the old scales attached to the new scales, so if you keep them, the newly grown scales may be deformed, um, but that’s not a big deal. What the question looks like..."

Knowing that Tali Topsyth was teasing people, Tang Xiaomi still had a cold sweat.

"Then what should I do..."

"Hmm... In fact, the main problem is that His Royal Highness Alfred has a deep-rooted stress mechanism. After all, the Titan Mermaid is a creature that survives almost instinctively. His body still has no way of adapting to touching his scales as an'outsider'. I think it is possible to do it unless he is willing to accept it both physically and mentally."

Then Tang Xiaomi once again got a meaningful gaze from Tali Topsyth.

"..."

Now his cold sweat is really flowing down.

To be honest, in fact, when Tali Topses talked about the so-called "individual who can accept the body and mind" Tang Xiaomi probably understood who he was talking about-whether Alfred was before the evolution of the tail or in the tail. After evolution, he tirelessly tried to entangle with his body. It can even be said that before Alfred's sanity had not been understood, he had already rubbed a lot of oil on Tang Xiaomi's body by instinct...

Seriously, it’s not that he is timid or that he is indifferent and doesn’t want to help Alfred. Tang Xiaomi swears that if he can help him, he will be very happy, but, but... But just now, Tari Topsyth was in He was flapped by Alfred's uncontrollable tail so many times before his eyes, what would it be like when it was his turn?

Tang Xiaomi really doesn't have much confidence in herself. After all, it's not that he hasn't been fanned out by Alfred...

"So, so...want to...I'll give it a try?"

Tang Xiaomi had to stammer and ask under an invisible pressure.

He can still remember the feeling of dizziness so far.

"Ah, Tang Xiaomi, you are really a kind gentleman."

Without any hesitation, Tari Topsyth directly agreed-it felt like he was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

Tang Xiaomi leaned against Alfred in a cold sweat.

"Do not--"

Unexpectedly, before he stretched his hand, he heard a severe rejection from Alfred.

"Uh?"

Tang Xiaomi raised her head and looked at each other in shock.

"Um, I want to help you..."

Tang Xiaomi didn't know how to describe his current mood, even though he was still very nervous before, but he called to stop before Alfred did it? Hey, it's a little bit disappointing-but Tang Xiaomi won't admit this!

"I..." The young Prince Titan's face was even more severe than before. He stared at Tang Xiaomi's face, his pupils shrunk into a thin, dark purple line, "I'm afraid."

"Afraid? But the doctor said that this behavior will not hurt your new scales, you can rest assured hahahaha—"

"I am afraid of hurting you."

The Titan mermaid, who is always grim, and its brain is always as hard as a fossil, shows at this moment indecision and indecision like a freshwater mermaid.

"If it hurts you, I..." Alfred squeezed Tang Xiaomi's hand and pressed it to his chest. "This place will hurt."

...

In the corner, Tali Topsyth rubbed his face and said to the blank Oreo: "Oh my God, I never thought that His Royal Highness is actually quite good in this respect."

"Haha." —From the royal affairs liaison officer who felt that he was hurt by the pink light wave again.

But in fact, Oreo was hurt by Alfred's unconscious numbness far more than Oreo, probably because the object of those words came directly at him, and Tang Xiaomi felt that he was the one who lost the most blood.

=-=

I don't know how to face His Royal Highness Alfred who has unexpectedly developed in a certain way!

So Tang Xiaomi simply skipped the process, took a deep breath and directly pinched the old scales on Alfred's tail.

"Anyway, I still want to worry about whether your own tail hurts." He pretended to be vicious and said to Alfred.

"Wait a minute, let me prepare mentally—"

Tang Xiaomi didn't wait for the prince to finish speaking, but bit the scalp and directly grabbed the edge of the scales and pulled it down forcefully!

"puff--"

He heard a soft noise.

To draw an analogy, the feel of tearing off the scales is actually a bit like opening a can. In short, the scales covered with mottled parasites soon peeled off the new scales after the initial sound.

Alfred's tail trembled violently at the moment the sound rang. Tang Xiaomi closed her eyes abruptly, waiting for the rotation and pain to come.

But... the reality is that he was not hit directly by Alfred as expected.

After the trembling of the tail, Alfred's body relaxed and relaxed.

You know, at the moment just now, the young crown prince's brain has completely fallen into a blank space, and the only thing that can be felt is-can't fan Xiao Mi out!

Absolutely not!

Maybe it was his spirit that moved Poseidon at that moment. At the moment when the soreness that almost broke the nerves on his tail hit, he finally resisted his instinct, so that Tang Xiaomi would not be able to compete with Tari Topps. Si also had too close contact with the wall.

"call……"

Finally, without being fanned out, Tang Xiaomi let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did he feel his heart beating very fast.

He raised his eyes and smiled instinctively at Alfred.

"So you still controlled it."

He said.

"Because it's you."

Alfred looked as though embarrassed, avoiding Tang Xiaomi's kind gaze for a moment, and looked at the corner surreptitiously.

His cheek muscles were bitten tightly, and his voice was squeezed from the gap in his lips.

(-)

Foul, foul!

At that moment, Tang Xiaomi almost shouted out like this.

Although almost all readers have almost forgotten the setting "His Royal Highness Alfred is handsome"... In short, Alfred is really a handsome young man (well, although his age is "young" ), showing a somewhat helpless appearance without getting off the line can really be a fatal blow, at least for the immature freshwater mermaid like Tang Xiaomi.

At that moment, he clearly felt that his heartbeat missed a beat.

He looked at Alfred stupidly, a little at a loss, and a little bewildered.

Time seems to have slowed down at this moment, and the sweetness of peaches seems to be permeated in the sea water...

Then a depilated toothbrush came in front of him.

"Oh, that's great, then, classmate Tang Xiaomi, please help His Royal Highness Alfred clean his tail!"

Tali Topsyth seemed to have never gotten into the sweet atmosphere that permeated Alfred and Tang Xiaomi at that moment, so he rushed in with a hearty smile.

Tang Xiaomi looked at the toothbrush with a distorted face, and finally recovered.

"This is?"

"tool."

Taritopse said steadily.

"Oh, you have to know that removing parasites is a delicate task. Sometimes you can't just pull it straight away. You must first use a tool to brush off the excessive parasites attached to it, and then remove the old scales... …"

Tang Xiaomi took the tiny toothbrush blankly, and then looked down at Alfred's huge tail on the seaweed mat. No matter how you look at it...

I want to call for help a bit.

======

After a few minutes--

Outside the ward

Oreo frowned and watched Mennei Tang Xiaomi's look bitter, holding the toothbrush tremblingly, trying to help Alfred clean his tail.

After rubbing his temple vigorously for a long time, he finally caught the point that made him feel that something was not right.

"That," he turned his head to look at the very happy Tali Topses, and asked, "Actually, His Highness Alfred can clean his tail by himself, right? He can never fly his fan out— Doesn’t necessarily need another mermaid to help him clean his tail?"

"Well, yes."

Tali Topsyth glanced at the shocked royal affairs liaison officer, his eyes gleaming with subtle meaning.

"Wait, then should I talk to Tang Xiaomi..."

Oreo still looked dazed.

And Tari Topses stretched out a tentacle and patted Oreo on the shoulder.

"Boy, do you have a partner?"

he asks.

Oreo's cheeks warmed, and he nodded in embarrassment.

"Then your relationship must not go well."

-Then he got a fatal blow from Tali Topsyth.

Thinking of the twists and turns between him and someone, Oreo's knee hurts.

"I, I, that, actually..."

"No need to explain. If you can ask the question just now, it's only natural that your relationship is going wrong-you still need to practice, young man. You know, if you run to tell them this method, you are very likely to be caught. Kicked."

Tali Topsyth said deeply, slowly drifting towards the other side of the hospital corridor.

And Oreo blinked, always feeling that the words just now seemed to insult him and didn't seem to...

(Anyway, let’s talk to Tang Xiaomi first?)

Oreo, who had already made up his mind, suddenly hesitated when thinking of Tari Topsyth's reaction just now.

Shouldn't it really be said?

He floated back and forth at the door.

When he was still struggling, he was so careless and directly ran into a seahorse-shaped mermaid rushing to give birth to a child in the obstetric department.

"Go away!"

The celebrity fish squeezed his stomach, forced a crying translucent child back into the gap in his stomach, and then roared at Oreo angrily.

By the way, he also kicked Oreo hard by the tail.

Oreo didn't even feel the pain. He held the place where he was mentioned in amazement, deeply feeling the unfathomableness of Tali Topses.
