Chapter 8

It didn’t rise to the surface, but stopped a meter or two below the water. Boyce could only see a touch of blue, and he had an illusion that it seemed to be angry about what happened before.

“Sofia!” Boyce called out a few more times, and the S-37 emerged from the water, looking reluctant.

Remembering that he had knocked a stick on its hand before, Boyce softened his tone, revealing a bit of negotiation: “Hey! Give me your hand?”

It stopped there, opened its mouth and said something: “#&*$#.”

Boyce could only see its lips moving, but didn’t hear any sound, and the earplugs were still in place.

“Sofia!” Boyce urged it, “reach out!”

s-37 handed him the injured right arm. The wound on its tail could only see a red mark. Boyce thought that with the healing ability of the mermaid, its arm should have recovered.

But its arm looked more serious than before. The right arm was swollen and purple under the skin, which looked a little scary.

Boyce looked away guiltily: “Can you change your hand?”

It looked at Boyce, showing an innocent look, as if it didn’t understand what he was saying, and handed it to Boyce again.

The large blue-purple piece lay in front of Boyce.

It must be intentional!

Boyce was indignant.

It pretended to lie on the table innocently, showing some pitiful looks, which did not match its sharp appearance, but it looked a bit like a large domestic dog with drooping ears.

Boyce had to admit that it worked, and he does feel guilty about it now.

He quickly drew blood from its hands, raised its hands with one hand, and touched its bones with the other to see if there were any broken bones.

Boyce bowed his head, unaware that it was creeping closer, and the s-37 approached him silently, casting a shadow.

Smelling Boyce’s unique scent, s-37 narrowed his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his golden pupils.

Boyce, who was seriously looking at its arm, looked at the cyan on its arm, and suddenly felt a little strange.

He recalled the previous mark. It seemed that the edge was smoother and not so wide. He stretched out his hand to compare the bruise. How many irregularities were there more like finger marks?

With this guess, Boyce looked at its arm carefully, and the blue-purple on its arm was also a little uneven. At first glance, it really looked like the mark after being hit by a stick, but if you look closely, you can still see it. clues.

Feeling the anger that suddenly appeared on Sofia, s-37 was a little puzzled and stepped back subconsciously.

Boyce pointed to its arm and asked, “You lied to me?”

S-37’s tail swayed with a guilty conscience, but without denying it, he withdrew his right hand and grabbed Boyce’s hand with his left.

Boyce was startled by its action, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, it pressed his hand on his head.

s-37 lowered his head and rubbed Boyce’s hand on his head, the intention to please him was very obvious.

Boyce hesitated for a moment, did not withdraw his hand, and continued to rub it on its head a few times.

When it came out of the water, the water on its hair flowed down its hair. Its hair looked as smooth as the water, and it was obediently attached to its head. The mermaid’s body temperature was lower than that of humans, and it was cool. The head of a pet is very similar to touching the head of a pet.

It glanced at Boyce quietly, saw that his expression softened, he was relieved, and his expression became more and more gentle.

His gaze stopped on Boyce’s ear for a moment, suppressing the thought of taking off the earplugs.
