The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else - Chapter 62-1

Actual Fairytale (end)

Taking advantage of their celebration as well as the absence of Jun Yu and Jun Li, Shen Shao brought Lu Shijin to the garage to take a submarine.

Thankfully, the submarines had a complete autopilot function, so they only needed a fingerprint to have the authority to operate.

Last time, they depended on their own strength to escape, but this time, they used technology.

Submarines were a lot faster than them swimming, so they’d be able to reach the surface in less than an hour.

But Shen Shao didn’t know about the tracker on Lu Shijin. Jun Yu noticed the moment they left the palace.

But, because the merpeople were celebrating, their king couldn’t leave, so he told Jun Li to go first.

Hearing that Shen Shao escaped again, Jun Li was shocked and angry.

He originally thought that Shen Shao would accept his fate and obediently stay by his side since he was already pregnant.

It turns out that he was just pretending to make him loosen his guard.

Shen Shao had been waiting for his chance to escape!

Jun Li felt his heart freeze. He spent so much time and effort, but still couldn’t get Shen Shao’s heart.

It seemed that Shen Shao was really unwilling to be with a male merperson, and that everything was his wishful thinking.

But the most laughable thing was that he actually believed in Shen Shao’s words of love. Was human love so cheap?!

Jun Li raced towards Shen Shao and Lu Shijin on a submarine, filled with with anger and disappointment.

They didn’t meet any guards on their way up. The screen in the submarine showed that they were less than five thousand meters from the surface. Shen Shao celebrated the fact that he was about to be free.

But before he could be happy for too long, Jun Li’s cold voice sounded from outside.

“Shen Shao, I know you’re in there. I suggest you stop and turn back now before I get angry.” Jun Li warned.

Shen Shao and Lu Shijin met each others’ eyes. To show that he had nothing to do with this, Lu Shijin pretended to be shocked, “How did he find us? How’s he so fast? What do we do now?”

Lu Shijin asked a bunch of questions, but Shen Shao didn’t know the answer to any of them.

Jun Li’s submarine was catching up to them. If Shen Shao was caught again, then Jun Li would probably keep an even tighter watch on him and won’t have the chance to escape again!

Shen Shao gritted his teeth. He had to do everything he could, so he immediately turned the submarine to the highest speed!

Jun Li saw that Shen Shao didn’t have any intention of stopping, and even sped up. He didn’t waste any more time and raced to catch up.

Lu Shijin was a bit confused as to why only Jun Li was there.

If Jun Yu doesn’t come, then what would be the point of him pretending to escape?

He saw that Shen Shao was supporting his belly, his face a bit pale, and asked with concern, “Are you okay? Don’t be anxious, he won’t be able to catch up to us yet, don’t upset the baby.”

Shen Shao watched the screen in trepidation. A red dot got closer and closer to their current position.

And every time it got closer, Shen Shao’s face would get a bit paler.

He slammed his fists on the dashboard and said in a quiet voice, “I won’t go back with him, even if I die!”

Lu Shijin didn’t expect Shen Shao to be so extreme. He was afraid of provoking him and escalating the issue beyond his control, so he gently coaxed, “Think about your child, don’t mention dying so casually. No matter how Jun Li gets, he definitely won’t hurt you.”

“Has he not already hurt me? Forcing me to stay in this kind of place is the worst way he can hurt me.” Shen Shao said coldly.

It was clear from Shen Shao’s dedication to finding a way to cure himself that he was very stubborn and would not change his path no matter what.

So, since Jun Li’s actions were like stepping on a minefield for Shen Shao, he was probably very serious about it.

“Do you not feel anything for Jun Li anymore?” Lu Shijin tested him out.

Shen Shao was silent for a bit, “I’m a human, I don’t belong here. I have my own life, and no one gets to control it. If he can’t understand this, then there’s no future for us.”

Lu Shijin knew that Shen Shao was just saying this in the heat of the moment.

Although Shen Shao wanted to leave Jun Li, they’d spent so long together and even had a child, so there was no way there were no feelings between them.*

[ED: Please keep in mind that it is completely reasonable for a victim to have no feelings for their captor. Who knows what misconception of love this author has.]

It was just that they hadn’t given Shen Shao the time to accept that Jun Li was a male merperson, but instead used force to abduct him.

Shen Shao asked himself before if he could accept Jun Li as a male merperson, and the answer was affirmative.

He spent the first half of his life working nonstop and finally met someone who gave his world colour.

Although he was a merperson, Shen Shao was still prepared to spend the rest of his life with Jun Li.

He just shouldn’t have used such extreme measures.
