The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Die

Chapter 51

The tender, clean texture instantly made Yu Ze's eyes narrow in pleasure as he swallowed and then immediately took another bite. He ate quickly, but not rudely, holding the fish filet and eating it in small bites, looking particularly cute.

Leon's eyes fell on his face, not saying a word, quietly watching him finish the fish filet in one bite, somehow feeling very pleasant.

Yu Ze finished eating, fingers covered in juices and subconsciously stretched out his tongue to lick them clean.

Leon's eyes were slightly open, and his heartbeat, which had always been steady, suddenly went out of rhythm. Yu Ze ate his heart out and looked back at Leon with a bit of embarrassment. He looked at Leon and met Leon's wooden gaze and blushed slightly, "Sorry, it was too good, I couldn't control myself."

Leon said, "No need to be sorry, I'm happy you like it."

Yu Ze saw his sincere face and smiled, joking to himself, "I thought you were stunned by how I ate."

Leon was secretly chagrined that his reaction made Yu Ze embarrassed, but his face was very steady. He swept his eyes at Yu Ze's slightly red face, knowing that he couldn't tell the truth, so he found an excuse to explain, "I was just a little curious about your hand."

Yu Ze looked down at his hand, and suddenly, his expression was much more natural. He extended his hand to Leon, "Now it's very similar to a human."

Leon's eyes fell on his hand, his fingers moved slightly, and curled up honestly, resisting the urge to touch it.

The little mermaid's hand was long and slender, very nice, and a little different from humans. The surface was covered with a white transparent film, and there was transparent webbing between the fingers. At first glance, it would be mistaken for a human hand, but the skin was slightly shiny, very shiny.

Yu Ze flipped his hand, back side up flat after a while and turned his palm up, very generous to satisfy Leon's curiosity.

"Thanks." Leon's heart moved slightly because of Yu Ze's action, and his eyes moved from Yu Ze's palm to Yu Ze's face.

Yu Ze smiled, "You're welcome," he asked curiously with a slight inclination of his head, "Do you think it's strange?"

"No," Leon said, "it's beautiful."

Yu Ze thought to himself, "A soldier's heart is good." He put his hand into the water, and the transparent membrane fused with the water, and his hand looked indistinguishable from a human's. He blinked, fingertips slightly tense, then suddenly, sharp claws popped out and he hurried to see Leon's expression.

Leon caught his curious little expression and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Looks awesome."

Yu Ze withdrew his claws, "I'm surprised you weren't scared."

Leon thought it was cute, not a bit scared, and a light smile rose in his eyes, "It's scary, but I'm just a bit more daring."

Yu Ze was amused by his not so tactful comfort, his eyes swept past his chest, suddenly eager to see how the flower was doing. Was Leon being so nice to him because of some instinctive memory? He reached out for the fish in the box before he touched it and then abruptly withdrew his hand, covering it with a cry of pain and stepping back, "Ah!"

Leon leaned forward, "What's wrong?"

Yu Ze blinked, "My hand is cut."

Leon stared at him and suddenly smiled, with a helplessly spoiled tone, "Say, what do you want to do?"

Yu Ze's expression froze for a moment, covering his hand and holding on, "No, I didn't want to do anything, I just wasn't careful."

Leon stated, "Your hand is smooth, there is no sign of injury, which means that your hand is not easily injured when you are hunting in the sea."
