Shi Li pursed her lips and hugged him comfortably.

Chen Jingyan calmed down slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "When I felt so strongly unwilling to accept, the sea witch appeared. She said she could give me everything I wanted, as long as I was willing to take out something equivalent to exchange."

Shi Li bit her lips: "What did you exchange your soul with her?"

Chen Jingyan stopped talking.

After a long silence, he still did not answer her question positively: "With the help of the sea witch, I learned that you are not a person in this world. Apart from this world, you also have lovers in other worlds. You are also very kind to them and will contribute everything to them. I am no different from them to you... Not that, I heard that there are rich and high-ranking officials among them, and they are all people with high status. Maybe you should love them a little more."

"Jingyan..." Shi Li instinctively wanted to deny it when he heard him say this.

Chen Jingyan chuckled: "And I am different, I only have you, but even you, I have never had it."

Shi Li's eyes gradually turned red, and he grabbed his clothes and said nothing.

"The sea witch told me that you betrayed your lover in the previous worlds, so every time you return to another world, you will be bullied for a while, but you must accept bullying. Only by obtaining their forgiveness can you return to your own world. I feel very sorry, those people are stupid, and you don't even see that you are controlled. What qualifications are there to forgive you?" Chen Jingyan mentioned this matter, and his expression became a little gloomy, "You also feel that you are so vigilant, do you know? The more you are vigilant, you mean that the more you were fooled and the more pitfalls you took. I hate myself for not protecting you."

Shi Li shook her head: "Don't blame yourself. I haven't suffered too much grievances. I'm very happy most of the time."

Chen Jingyan calmed down and said lightly for a long time later: "You should have felt wronged at all."

Shi Li stopped talking, she didn't know how to explain to him. There were times when the previous worlds were wronged, but they were even more wronged than themselves. After all, they were all victims of the poor female script.

After a moment of quiet in the room, Shili cheered up and asked, "And you know I'll be back in this world, so you've been looking for me?"

"Yes." Chen Jingyan admitted.

Shi Li finally understood that since the reunion, his inexplicable words that occasionally popped up after his reunion were actually said inadvertently because he knew her previous experience.

She hugged Chen Jingyan silently, and after a long time, she said hoarsely: "You have suffered."

"As long as you come back, everything is worth it." Chen Jingyan said gently.

The two hugged each other for a moment, and Chen Jingyan suddenly leaned over to find her lips. Shi Li cooperated to raise her head and kissed him with her eyes closed. The sound of waves came from not far away. They were in the hut, but they seemed to be still lying on the sea, shaking with each other's ups and downs.

Because they were too tired today, the two of them only fell in love with each other once and stopped. Shi Li was pillowing on Shen Jingyan's arm. When he was so sleepy that he suddenly thought of the most important thing that he hadn't told himself.

"What did you exchange with your soul and the sea witch?" she asked weakly.

Chen Jingyan was quiet for a moment: "Do you still remember the story of the little mermaid?"

Shi Li's heart moved, opened her eyes and looked at him, facing his calm eyes.

"If the little mermaid in the story does not receive the prince's deepest love, it will turn into bubbles on the sea one morning a long time later," Chen Jingyan said gently. The white dot in his left eye was extremely obvious. "I am not very similar to her. I will only turn into a wave on the sea and blend into the sea."

Shi Li stared at him in a daze, and after a long time, he asked hoarsely: "How long is the deadline?"

"A lifetime, so you don't have to worry, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can have a lifetime to slowly treat me as the most important person," Chen Jingyan stroked her sweaty hair behind her ears before speaking gently, "I can wait."

Shi Li's eyes turned red again, Chen Jingyan covered her eyes helplessly: "Don't feel guilty or heartbroken, this is my own choice."

After he finished speaking, he felt a wet palm, so he stopped talking again. He just hugged Shili tightly in his arms, and the two of them hugged each other, and it took him a long time to fall asleep slowly.

The next morning, just dawned, Shi Li woke up first, staring at Chen Jingyan's eyebrows for a long time, thinking that there is no way to lift the curse?

As soon as this question arose, a line of text appeared in my mind: None yet.

Shi Li was stunned for a moment, and realized that the system was back, and immediately became furious: Where have you died?

- When you are at sea, you are blocked by unknown objects and temporarily unable to contact the tasker. The shielding will be automatically lifted after you go ashore.

Shi Li couldn't help rolling his eyes and said a lot of sarcastic words in his heart, but because he had some serious matters to ask, he endured it: Since it was relieved after he got ashore, then you should know what Chen Jingyan said yesterday. I'm asking you now, why do words appear in his mind?

- The preliminary judgment is that the male supporting role has awakened part of its self-consciousness, so he will realize that you are wrong. The so-called sea witch should be part of the product of consciousness awakening.

Shi Li frowned: What does it mean?

― Whether it is a human in the real world or a human in the novel world, obsession can create miracles, otherwise you will not travel for the second time. Because it is a task for male supporting actors, all the worlds experienced by the task seem to be centered on male and female protagonists. In fact, the center of the world is male supporting agents. The male supporting agents have self-consciousness, and the world will also have self-consciousness. The male supporting agents know the truth, and the world's consciousness is a sea witch. Since this is the first time the system has seen the world and has consciousness, it is impossible to determine what it wants for the time being, so it cannot form a response method.

Shi Li bit his lip: According to the Sea Witch's setting, it made a deal with Shen Jingyan, and it should be a soul that wanted to Shen Jingyan. Is the soul of a male supporting role meaning to the world?

-Some, if the soul of a male matchmaker returns to the world, he will no longer have the ability to think independently. The hatred value will be permanently fixed at a value, and the world will also be eternal.

Shi Li: So the real purpose of the sea witch is to preserve this world, even if they have to forever imprison Chen Jingyan's soul...their transactions can only be terminated according to the rules of this world, right?

- At present, yes.

Shi Li took a deep breath and felt her head was almost getting bigger.

After Chen Jingyan woke up, he saw her with a bitter face and paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I won't let you become a part of the sea." Shi Li said seriously.

Chen Jingyan paused for a moment, laughing and crying: "You have been thinking about this all the time? It seems that I shouldn't tell you that there is no benefit except to add trouble to you."

"Jingyan." Shi Li snorted and threw herself into his arms.

Chen Jingyan's eyes softened: "What's wrong?"

"Do you have any dissatisfaction with me? Even if it's only a little bit." The hatred value is only 10%, and it has not fluctuated. It should be a fixed thing that makes him dissatisfied. Once this matter is resolved, the hatred value will be completely eliminated.

Her feelings about the previous worlds have come back. I don’t know if she can truly be the one who loves the most now, so she can only think of a way from the perspective of hatred value.

Chen Jingyan pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes."

"What?" Shi Li's eyes lit up.

"I'm not your favorite person."

Shi Li: "..." It's dead end.

"But actually I didn't mind that much," Chen Jingyan leaned back and met her eyes, "So you don't have to worry too much. We still have a lifetime to take our time."

Shi Li looked at him calmly for a long time, and finally sighed in sorrow.

The two of them stayed in bed for a while and went to see the house together. They looked at several two-story buildings in succession. Finally, they picked one that was closest to the sea. Just when they were about to pay, a familiar person walked in.

"Oh, that black-haired mermaid!" the boss said in surprise, and the people around him immediately looked at Shi Li curiously.

Shi Li saw the boss of the strip dance hall, subconsciously frowned and quietly hid behind Chen Jingyan. Chen Jingyan comforted her hand and looked at the boss indifferently: "She is mine."

"I know, I know, I know she is yours, I don't want to rob... But after you have played enough, can you sell it to me again?" the boss asked with anticipation.

Chen Jingyan looked at her disgustedly, and took out the wooden warehouse from her waist without saying a word and pointed it directly on her forehead. The boss's soul was immediately scared and apologized with a lot of pissing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if you don't want to sell it, then forget it, say it well..."

"Have she bullied you?" Chen Jingyan asked lightly.

The boss was stunned: "What?" After asking, he realized that this sentence was asked by the mermaid, and immediately looked at the mermaid begged.

Shi Li pursed her lips: "No bullying." It's not her Virgin Heart, but being hungry for a few times is nothing. In order to sell her at a good price, the boss never beat her at the beginning.

"Did you hear it? She said no..." The boss's legs were about to become weak.

Chen Jingyan took back the wooden cage and said a word with a cold expression: "Get out."

The boss hurriedly left and disappeared completely from their sight.

Although the boss has left, those who knew that they were mermaids were still there just now. Shi Li could feel that the eyes they looked at him at this moment had less respect for humans. Her mood was really not good. When she looked at the house that she was satisfied with just now, she suddenly didn't want it anymore.

"Or we should live in the current place, which is quite good." Shi Li looked at Chen Jingyan in a low voice.

Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment. He didn't buy the house, but took her home. Shili was very depressed along the way, and it was better when he was about to get home. She secretly turned her head and looked at Chen Jingyan, and found that his expression was not good. She paused for a moment and asked carefully: "Did I mess up?"

"No." Chen Jingyan touched his head comfortably.

Shi Li sighed: "In their eyes, mermaids are not human. Even if I appear as your wife, they will not respect me and will not regard me as a real person. Although I know that I should not be treated as a human being, I still can't help but feel sad."

Chen Jingyan chuckled: "So if we don't buy their house, how about changing places?"

"Hmm?" Shi Li looked at him.

Chen Jingyan thought for a while: "Go to the next city, it is not a trade zone and there is no wharf, so people here are generally unhappy to go there. If we go there, we don't have to worry about anyone recognizing you."

Shi Li's eyes lit up: "Is that OK?"

"Of course." Chen Jingyan smiled.

Shi Li's mood improved instantly: "Then we won't buy a big house, just buy a smaller one, and keep the rest for business. If you make a lot of money, you can give the sea witch enough money if you don't go to the sea to hunt treasures."

Although he knew that the sea witch had a long time, Shi Li just didn't want Chen Jingyan to take risks to fill the bottomless pit. Since the sea witch was everywhere in the sea, I believe it could come to the shore to withdraw money, right?

...It would be better if they could not come, so even if they broke the contract, as long as they did not go to the sea for the rest of their lives, it would not do anything to them. Shi Li hummed and suddenly felt that life was full of hope.

The two of them have always been very active and moved away as soon as they said they could move. They soon found a suitable place to live in the small town next door. Because Shi Li didn't even like the sea witch, and lived very firmly in a place far away from the sea.

The two of them started a business of antiques with Chen Jingyan's connections. The ship owner who was familiar with him caught the damaged antiques and sent them over. They repaired them and sold them at a price. The business was actually very prosperous. Chen Jingyan was doing business just to satisfy Shi Li's wishes. Unexpectedly, the profit was so high that he immediately handed over the fleet to Xiao Wu and stayed with his wife with peace of mind.

"Boss, you are less than 30 years old. Was it a little early to retire? Where did the boss who took us to float on the sea for 365 days and 360 days?" Xiao Wu sat in the antique shop and complained.

Chen Jingyan sat lazily on the rocking chair: "I want to go out to sea with you, mainly because of your sister-in-law. She doesn't like me to do dangerous things."

Xiao Wu: "..." What's wrong with feeling full for no reason?

"Okay, put down the antiques and leave if you have nothing to do." Chen Jingyan finished speaking, and then went to the backyard leisurely.

Xiao Wu looked at his back and couldn't bear it anymore: "Boss, have you gained weight?"

Chen Jingyan froze and narrowed his eyes and turned back: "What did you say?"

"...I didn't say anything. Anyway, you don't move at home. You know what will happen after you get older. Sister-in-law has no problem as long as she doesn't dislike me." Xiao Wu said like a bead, turned around and ran away.

Chen Jingyan gritted his teeth and watched him disappear. When he turned around, he happened to meet Shi Li. He paused and asked, "Am I fat?"

Shi Li was puzzled: "No."
