The King’s Game Chapter 83 - Mermaid I]

Ch83 – [Mermaid I]
To tell the truth, Shen Sui put the ring on before he finished his proposal, but Gu Huai, who experienced such a process, was speechless for a moment, and finally had to nod his head to the man who was seriously kneeling and pecking his finger.
Same-sex marriage was illegal in China but Gu Huai thought it was just a certificate. It didn’t matter whether it was needed or not, but later they went abroad for a holiday to make up for it.
After his memory loss, Shen Sui was patiently taught by Gu Huai, learning all the things he should know. Grandfather Shen and father Shen were quite relieved about this matter from the beginning.
Shen Sui recovered his memory the fourth year after they got married and got their license. It was a bit opportune.
It was when he followed the young man into the bathroom. The first thing Shen Sui did after recovering his memory was to hold the young man against the wall of the bathroom and possess him completely.
Both the Gu and Shen family were already business giants. There was no doubt that the two families were close. Their united momentum in the business world was even higher. The only thing that people were curious about was the issue of the two heirs.
Since there was no deliberate cover up, most people had heard about the relationship between the current heads of the two families, at least some of them. They were lovers. In other words, partnership was more appropriate, but they happened to be the only child of each family, so it was worth pondering where the next generation would come from.
In fact, Gu Huai and Shen Sui had already made a unanimous decision on this issue.
It was time for them to adopt a suitable child, and cultivate the child as the heir of the two families. It was incomprehensible for most people.
It was too generous for the two families to be handed over to an outsider without any kinship. But that was what they decided. The elders of the two families nodded their heads easily after they were told.
They didn’t have any conflict with their grandchildren. So when the news broke out, a large number of people were surprised as expected.
At the same time, they were deeply impressed with the child who was lucky enough to be adopted by the Shen family.
When their successor were well trained, Gu Huai and Shen Sui quit, leaving the management of the company to their successor. And they began to live in retirement, and from time to time they travelled and went on vacations.
He was an adopted child, but neither his father nor his dad, or the other elders above them, had ever said anything to him.
In such a family, there was something distressing, that was, the family business of the two families was too big and they left it all to Shen Ke. He was really busy at the beginning. But these were the expectations of his two parents. Shen Ke still stuck to them, and now he could handle the company’s affairs easily.
He didn’t know how other people’s parents got along with each other. In Shen Ke’s eyes, his parents had never downplayed their feelings for so many years and had always been in love with each other.
Usually his father always looked cold and inhumane, but actually was very sticky to his dad. When Shen Ke first found out this fact, it took a long time to digest it.
In the end, they were also buried together.
“Dad, Dad, the company is really busy, Fortunately, I have trained my successor, and I can provide for the elders at ease.” Shen Ke put a bunch of flowers down in front of the tombstone, and then complained to the tombstone, although he knew that the tombstone would not respond.
It was said that two people buried together would marry in the next life. Although this was a groundless myth, Shen Ke thought it may be true. If a person had an afterlife, his two parents would definitely like each other again.
Maybe now they had met again in places he didn’t know or couldn’t see——
“About to carry out world transfer, count down to 10 seconds. Be prepared.” Thinking back to the moment when the clearance time limit was almost used up, the system prompted.
Gu Huai selected his card. Hearing the systematic and deliberate reminder at the end of the sentence, he also made some psychological preparations.
After going through three worlds, Gu Huai felt that it was impossible for him not to feel the system’s concern for him, but the system’s attitude towards him was quite strange, it would turn cold immediately after showing concern.
And even its care was quite restrained, like it didn’t want him to notice.
“3, 2, 1-”
When he regained consciousness, what Gu Huai felt was the cold, and the light point was getting farther away in front of him.
Surrounded by the cold sea water, Gu Huai did not immediately gain control of his body. He sank a few more minutes into the deep water.
No wonder the system specially reminded him to prepare this time. As soon as he gained control of his body, Gu Huai immediately began to help himself.
The light spots in his eyes were far away. Even as Gu Huai tried to swim upwards, the light was still far away.
The feeling of lack of oxygen was becoming more and more obvious, unable to breathe in the water, Gu Huai’s body was gradually losing strength and the feeling of suffocation in his chest was like a huge stone weighing on his heart, which came with dizziness.
“System, I …”
The distance was too far away, even if his will was strong, in the absence of oxygen, Gu Huai could not reverse this dilemma.
“Ah …” Gu Huai could only hear the first word clearly, which showed that his consciousness had become blurred.
As a matter of fact, the little light that Gu Huai could see was now very dim, and his consciousness that he had just recovered soon fell back into darkness.
But when his body finally reached the borderline, Gu Huai suddenly went blank under the condition of extreme lack of oxygen. Next second, a strange feeling like all pores on his body were opened to breathe freely made him wake up again, like a new life .
A Tail?
Looking at his legs suddenly turning into a silver tail, Gu Huai was a little confused now. But now it was not the time to think about it. He pressed down the complex emotions in his heart and started to swim upwards.
The word ‘like a fish in water’ was very suitable for him now. He was a little ignorant of his silver tail, but Gu Huai didn’t have any strange feeling when he used it, like an innate ability. In this case, he soon swam to the top of the sea.
He emerged from the water. The waves around him were very rough, but they didn’t have much impact on him. Now it was night. When Gu Huai looked up, he could see the stars and the moon hanging in the night sky. The time also made him a little relieved.
There was no doubt that he was in a modern world and what he saw in the original body’s memory was a normal modern world, but his legs transformed to a tail, which was so unreasonable, Gu Huai now wanted to know what kind of magical world he was in.
Night was better than day. At least there was no one by the sea, he didn’t have to worry about being seen. When he got close to the shore, Gu Huai got stuck. He didn’t know how to change his tail back to human legs.
But at the end of Gu Huai’s agony, his legs changed back as he wished. Taking a breath. The first thing Gu Huai did when he got to the beach was to tidy up his clothes and put them on. He couldn’t change the fact that his clothes were all wet.
Just as Gu Huai was about to sort out the memories of the original body, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. The water-proof function of this mobile phone was really powerful, Gu Huai thought bitterly, he took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer key, and raised it to his ear.
“Although it’s very late now, sister Chen still wants to disturb you. The audition the day after tomorrow is the last chance the company will give you. You must be ready, you know?” The woman on the other end of the line was firm and even stern, but there was no doubt she was worried about her artist.
“… Uh huh.” The amount of information in her speech was a little large. Gu Huai responded as he began to digest it slowly.
Audition, so his identity in this world was an actor?
