After I Picked Up a Beagle Merman

[Patient, domineering CEO human top × destructive, beagle-like mermaid bottom] On Storm Festival, Elaine, the most beautiful male mermaid on the continent of Estra, was struck by lightning and sent to Earth while chasing a delicious jellyfish. After humans discovered him, modern technology chased him through eight trenches. In his desperate flight, he reached the shallows and crashed straight into the arms of a man who was diving. The man smelled unexpectedly good. His waist was firm, and the curve of his backside was especially… tempting. Elaine was already salivating when the man gestured, “Come with me. There’s food.” Realization dawned, and he gratefully took the human’s hand and gave it a shake: This biped is so nice! He’s actually offering to be my emergency rations! Later, when Elaine was held in the arms of his “emergency rations,” his tail scales kissed until they were hot, he finally understood through his teary eyes: The way people on Earth “eat” and the way he understood “eat” were completely different! * Xu Fang, the youngest person ever to take control of the Xu Group. That day, while on vacation and scuba diving, he encountered a mermaid. Xu Fang: Love at first sight. Xu Fang: Guys, I found a mermaid, and he wants to come home with me! After successfully luring the mermaid home, Xu Fang thought he had found a rare treasure. Instead, he discovered a mermaid who combined every destructive trait of a beagle, a husky, and a kitten. On the first day, the mermaid escaped and stole every dessert in the fridge, then lay on the kitchen tiles burping. On the second day, the mermaid smashed the bulletproof glass aquarium with his tail, flooding Xu Fang’s penthouse and turning it into an aquarium. On the seventh day, the mermaid… Every time Xu Fang’s face darkened and he had barely begun to say, “You, ” Elaine would blink his big, watery eyes and rub the soft tip of his tail against Xu Fang’s wrist. Add a couple of pitiful little whines, and Xu Fang’s anger would vanish instantly. Fine. Why argue with a silly fish? But before he could even catch his breath, Elaine would change his tune, smack Xu Fang’s shin with his tail without holding back, and shove an empty plate against his chest, chin held high. “More cake! You feed me!” Xu Fang: “…” For the thousandth time, he reminded himself: Be patient. I found him, so I’ll take care of him. Later, the soaking-wet mermaid slipped into his bed and wrapped his tail around Xu Fang’s waist. “Xu Fang, I’m cold.” Looking at the troublemaker in his arms, Xu Fang slowly smiled. “The debt for today’s destruction,” he whispered in Elaine’s ear, amusement in his voice, “is due tonight, in a different way.” #I kidnapped this mermaid, so I’ll spoil him even if I have to do it on my knees# #What do you do when your mermaid wrecks the house?# #Teach him a lesson in bed# #The CEO is swallowing his anger again today# #But he’ll get it back with interest tonight# To Xu Fang, Elaine was a beautiful, troublesome, house-wrecking fish with a giant tail. He was also the precious darling Xu Fang had personally brought home and couldn’t bear to let go. Reader’s guide: 1. Both leads are each other’s first and only. Happy ending. 2.
