Yusen's silhouette appeared in the attic doorway. Yu Zhizhi hastily retracted her foot and peeked out from under the covers, her face flushing in the darkness.
The young man's face was pale, but his cheeks bore the faint flush of recent pleasure. His ice-blue eyes stared coldly at Louis, who was squatting on the floor.
'He trespassed into my "territory" without permission.'
Scales gradually began to cover the Mermaid's neck.
This was a precursor to a fight, a sign that a male, having been provoked, was preparing to battle for his territory and the rights to his mate.
A drop of fresh blood still clung to the corner of Louis's mouth.
He smiled. "Miss, I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything."
Yu Zhizhi's bright, limpid eyes peeked out. "Mhm~"
Louis stood up.
As he walked past Yusen, his dark eyes swept over the food in the Mermaid's hands.
'He'd like to see just what delicacies this fish could possibly make for the little rabbit.'
