In front of everyone, Dacia strode toward me. Without a word, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me.
Only I knew why he did it. It had to be because he’d been dehydrated for too long.
But no one else knew. They would just think of Dacia as a crazy boyfriend.
For a moment, we were surrounded by screams and whistles.
Dacia sucked hard on my saliva and before long, he injured the other side of my mouth.
But the wound from before had just healed. I suspected that he did it on purpose!
I thought, to Dacia, my blood was as addictive as marijuana.
After sucking out a lot of blood, Dacia finally released me.
His dark blue pupils were more spirited and his condition was much better than before.
“Does it hurt?” he asked worriedly.
I nodded and my voice was hoarse. “A little. Let’s go get a bottle of water to drink.”
“I brought it,” Dacia said as he took a bottle of water from the wide pocket of his jacket.
I didn’t expect him to be so considerate. I finally felt better.
“Annie, aren’t you going to introduce us?” My colleagues walked over and looked at Dacia with smiles on their faces.
“Oh, this is my boyfriend, Dacia,” I quickly introduced.
Dacia gave them a friendly smile. “Hello.”
My colleagues were all smitten.
“Is your hair dyed? Your golden hair is so beautiful!”
“Why are you so tall? You maintained your figure very well.”
“Can you tell us how you and Annie met? Or do you have any brothers or friends who look like you?”
The group of women chattered, making Dacia feel extremely awkward.
When I finally got rid of them, Dacia said wistfully, “Your colleagues are too enthusiastic.”
“That’s not called enthusiastic. It’s called scary,” I reply gloomily.
While we were waiting for the bus, a female colleague named Emma drove over.
She rolled down the window and asked, “Hey, Annie, do you want me to give you a ride?”
“No need,” I said. “My house is a little far. We can take the bus.”
“It’s not troublesome. Come on up. Maybe it’s the same way?” Emma clearly didn’t want to let me go.
I should have continued to say no, but rejection was really not my strong suit. I had no choice but to take Dacia into her car.
The car smelled of pungent perfume. I frowned slightly and I saw that Dacia had the same reaction.
“Sorry, is there a cigarette smell in the car? I love smoking.” Emma looked at us in the rearview mirror.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry about Mandy,” Emma said.
I smiled helplessly. I was tired of hearing those words today.
“Where are you guys going?” Emma asked again.
I gave her my home address. Emma made a shocked expression. “Really? I used to live there too!”
“What a coincidence,” I responded.
“That’s right. In the past, my father failed in his business and rented a small apartment over there. Can you imagine the feeling of our family of four being squeezed there? It was very awful!”
Her expression was one of disdain at the mention of the residences near mine.
Wasn’t she mocking me?
I glanced over my shoulder at Dacia and saw that he had been looking out the window the entire time. He hadn’t even heard Emma speak.
Even if he did, he might not think Emma was mocking me.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Emma continued, “I know the place where Mandy lives. It’s very unsafe. I’m really not surprised that something happened to her.”
Hearing this, I finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Mandy’s gone. Please don’t say that.”
“Huh? Did I say something wrong? I’m sorry,” she quickly replied.
Even so, I couldn’t forgive her.
Her high and mighty attitude was really too detestable!
“Why isn’t Mr. Dacia saying anything?” Emma decided to change the subject.
“I’m listening to you guys,” Dacia said calmly.
“You haven’t told me how you met Annie.” Emma looked interested.
I couldn’t help but look at Dacia while wondering what he would say.
Was he going to tell anyone that he was a mermaid?
“I fell into the sea by accident while traveling. Annie saved me.”
“Really? Annie is so awesome!” Emma exclaimed. “And then? You two fell in love, right?”
“Yes, I fell in love with Annie at first sight,” Dacia said as he hugged me again.
I smiled. I could feel Emma’s jealousy toward me.
“So what does Mr. Dacia do? He’s not really a model, is he?” Emma changed the topic to work.
“I’m a writer,” Dacia replied.

Emma froze. And I reacted the same way she did.
Dacia had previously said that he wanted to write a novel, but he had not thought of how to write it. Now, wouldn’t it be too early to introduce himself as a writer?
“Huh? What a coincidence. My cousin is a writer too and often published works on the Cuckoo Bird Literature Website. Which platform are you releasing them on?” Emma asked very carefully, as if she didn’t believe Dacia.
“Bole Literature Website.”
Dacia’s answer was surprising. Bole was the most prestigious literary website in the country. Those who dared to publish their work there were very famous writers..
