Jin has been sitting in a wheelchair all year round and has leg problems, but he is not completely unable to stand. Chi Li said that when his legs healed, he would take him out to play. Jin agreed with a smile.
At that time, Chi Li thought it was because his legs were inconvenient, so he stayed in the research institute and was not allowed to go out.
As he grew older, Chi Li realized that he was more like being trapped here, with constant inspections, lack of freedom, some people's attitudes towards Jin, some rumors he overheard... There seemed to be one mystery after another about Jin.
But Chi Li knows that sincerity is just sincerity, which is different from what others say.
Zai Jin suddenly said, "Don't you want to know why I am always here?" Chi Li was still curious.
Chi Li: "Why?"
"The secret, the terrible secret, I can't tell you yet."
Chi Li frowned slightly, not believing it, but Jin was unwilling to tell him now no matter what.
Later, Chi Li thought about it again. At that time, Si Jinyan mentioned this matter, probably because he hoped that one day he could accept the real him. Before that, Si Jinyan was just testing, and at the same time, he hoped that time would bring their relationship closer.
With the terrifying fish tail and the unusual deformed appearance, Si Jinyan didn't want to see disgust in Chi Li's eyes, and looked at him with the same unusual eyes as those people, and at the same time had some secret expectations, hoping that Chi Li could accept him.

Chi Li After trying to drink, he took canned wine for the first time and climbed over the wall to find Jin secretly.
During this period of time, Chi Li was kept at home by his father and was not allowed to go out. He was feeling restless and depressed. On the contrary, he ignored the emotions that Zhenya seemed to be worried about recently.
He held several bottles of wine and knocked on the window with the code they had agreed upon.
That day is extremely deep in Chi Li's memory.
He was so drunk that he completely forgot what he talked about. He only remembered that Jin suddenly said in a low voice, "They said I was a monster, which is actually true."
Chi Li was stunned and turned to look at him. "What?" Chi Li suspected that he heard wrongly.
Chi Li's vision was a little blurry. He looked at Jin under the moonlight and muttered, "You must be so good-looking..."
He saw the tips of Jin's ears, highlighted by fine hairs in the moonlight. He touched them, and they were cool and soft, and murmured, "It's not a monster, it looks good."
Jin's eyes trembled, and he squeezed Chi Li's hand tightly, but did not take it off, feeling the hot temperature touching the tip of his ear.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that Jin's heart was beating fast, filled with fine bubbles, which exploded one by one. After a long time, he slowly but decisively said, "Then let me show you this secret."
Chi Li saw the shape of the moonlight and felt its temperature, cold and beautiful. He traced the shape of Scale and felt their patterns under his palm.
Scale reflects a silver-black luster, like the moonlight outside the window falling on it. It can be silk, moonlight, or the Milky Way, but it is not deformed and terrifying.
He felt along the tip of the tail, and the scales gradually expanded in shape as they approached the root.
The surroundings were extremely silent, and the only sounds that could be heard were the accelerated heartbeat under the influence of alcohol and Jin's heavy breathing.
Chi Li's eyes were filled with fascination, surprise, and admiration, but there was no disgust or fear. He was simple, explicit, and straightforward, and was all seen in Jin's eyes. Chi Li didn't hate it, and he wouldn't hate it. Jin knew it before Chi Li opened his mouth.
Such a reaction lies in Chi Li's complete trust. In his heart, Zhen is only beautiful, a friend, and a teacher, but not a scary monster.
It wasn't until he touched the larger but obviously different piece of Scale that Chi Li's wrist was held, that Chi Li suddenly woke up, looked up at Jin, and murmured, "Fish tail."
Chi Li was silent and stared blankly.
In the silence that followed, the nervousness in Jin's eyes expanded, and Chi Li also saw the forbearance on his face for some unknown reason.
Chi Li woke up from the huge shock and confusion, took Jin's hand, shook it tightly, and smiled, "Not a monster, beautiful, very beautiful."
Chi Li's words made Jin's blood surge faster. He wanted to wrap his fish tail around Chi Li, hug Chi Li tightly, and feel the hot temperature radiated by his sun in a more intimate way.
From then on, they had a secret. Chi Li would look at Jin's tail from time to time, touch the tip of Jin's tail, and look at and rub it lovingly.
The tip of the tail can be a sharp weapon, but in the hands of Chi Li, it returns to its most original purpose, sensitive and full of hints.
The temperature of the fish-tailed boy's skin gradually increased. At this time, Jin could faintly smell the pheromone of Chi Li.
Chi Li can't move freely yet, so he gets closer, and he can often smell the faint sweetness. For him at this moment, it is nothing more than a double stimulation of the senses, adding fuel to the fire.
Chi Li even developed a bad habit. He writes homework with one hand, and with the other hand he touches and presses the fish tail on his lap like a kitten. In the summer, he especially likes it.
Jin finally couldn't help but squeezed Chi Li's hand, "Stop playing."
Chi Li still had a popsicle in his mouth and his cheeks were bulging. He looked back at Jin and asked inarticulately, "Huh?"
Jin's eyelids twitched again, he clenched and unclenched his back teeth, and said, "Touching the tip of the tail is a sign of courtship. If you touch it, you will be responsible for the rest of your life."
Chi Li was startled and took out the popsicle, "Really?"
I nod my head.
Chi Li smiled, "Then I will be responsible."
Chi Li frowned, as if thinking of something, "Well... I'll be responsible until you find your partner."
Jin's eyes brightened and then suddenly sank, his tail turned back, and he said in a deep voice, "Do your homework. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish it today."

I told Chi Li this "secret" earlier than expected because he saw what happened not long ago.
When he was still a child, Jin could often see some scenes that had never happened. After several experiments, he gave an accurate definition. This kind of behavior was prediction.
However, as he grew older, such scenes became less and less frequent. The last time he saw the death of Chi Li.
Completely relying on inherited instincts, he clearly knows which parts of his body are hard enough to be used as weapons, which parts are fragile and need protection, and which parts are extremely precious and are secrets that cannot be known to anyone.
Since then, for countless nights, he closed his eyes and just felt the strong beating of his heart. There was a piece of Scale, connecting all his flesh and blood. He closed his eyes and calmed down, and he could feel the powerful vitality contained in that scale, supplying every part of his body.
They are connected together, and the blood flows through the Scale and is transmitted to all parts of the body so that he can always recover faster after being injured. There may be more secrets, but because of it, the heart, which is extremely fragile for humans, has become the strongest place in his body.
So, when the predicted scenes happened one after another, I chose the right time to coax Chi Li to cut off the scale from the heart.
Fortunately, Chi Li could accept it. Seeing the scales disappear on Chi Li's chest, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the moment when it was close to Chi Li's heart, the senses that had not completely disappeared from Scale touched something extremely soft.
He knew that it was Chi Li's heart. At that moment, his heartbeat was briefly synchronized with Chi Li's heartbeat.
He felt Chi Li's breathing, the speed of blood flow, and their hearts pressed together.
Scale was completely integrated with Chi Li. After the success, Jin's tense nerves could finally relax for a moment.
He gave the most precious thing to Chi Li.
He hoped, or Xu Yin, that its existence could change the established destiny, although this glimmer of hope seemed extremely small in the unknown future.
