There's a mermaid in my bathtub

A gust of salty cold water poured into the mouth, shaking Jin Sheng's nerves.

……

What can a kiss do?

Wake up the sleeping Elora, break the curse of frogs and beasts, and turn them into ideal lovers...

From the beginning to the end, no matter how you recall, kissing can bring positive results and a happy ending.Storybooks or TV dramas have always been like this, deepening feelings and even terminating conflicts to a certain extent.

For human beings, it is full of deep love and lust, and the meaning is too deep, how to describe it seems boring.

It's just that he never thought about what this means to the mermaid.

Since Nanli appeared in the bathtub of his house, one person and one fish have always maintained a delicate relationship, and they have done everything they should and should not do.Jin Sheng knew it well, but because the other party was a mermaid, he was always lucky, and he was used to tolerance and even pampering, and accepted any excessive intimacy from Nanli.

Over time, he didn't feel that the other party was taking advantage of him at all.

What's more, in Jin Sheng's view, men have nothing to gain.

……

He continued to fall, and couldn't open his eyes at all. It was obviously summer, but there were bursts of coolness on his body, a strong suffocation feeling in his chest, and the cold liquid rushed to his face.

This is... fell into the bathtub?

Subconsciously holding his breath, the water flowed into his nostrils. Jin Sheng closed his eyes and groped around for a while, but found nothing except resistance.

In the end what happened?

His heart sank, and he struggled to open his eyes. The cold water stimulated the cornea, which was painful and astringent. Compared with this sensory experience, after identifying the place he was in, Jin Sheng was in a daze for a while.

Not just imagining, he really fell into the sea in an instant.After all, City S had never heard of such a large swimming pool, it was boundless, and the spreading dull blue oppressed him so much that he couldn't breathe.

As far as the naked eye can see, Jin Sheng is getting farther and farther away from the faint sunlight on the sea level above his head.

With this discovery, the rookie swimmer hurriedly swam up with both hands and feet, but no matter how hard he struggled, his body continued to sink uncontrollably, as if an invisible palm was holding his ankle tightly and kept pulling.

And if this continues, all the oxygen in his chest will be exhausted soon.

can not breathe.

He bit his lips to death, and had no time to think about why he fell into the sea. He just writhed desperately, eager to touch the light not far away, and return to the sea level to take a breath of fresh air.However, the power of human beings is so insignificant that they can't compete with the sea at all. The harder they work, the faster they will be swallowed by the darkness under their feet.

So close, yet so far away.

The only achievement of hard work is to increase the oxygen consumption, and soon, everything will be exhausted.The soles of the feet are suspended in the water, unable to touch the ground, and it is difficult to have a sense of reality, which is disturbing.Even though the bitter sea water irritated his eyes, he stared up at the only translucent beauty above his head.

"Well……"

He's at his limit.

Finally, the sense of suffocation awakened the instinct of "survival". The person sinking at the bottom opened his mouth uncontrollably, and a large amount of seawater instantly poured into his mouth and poured down his throat.

Powerless to drive this exhausted body, he temporarily gave up all struggles, not wanting to be choked to death, so he could only gulp down the fishy and salty sea water in exchange for more chances of survival.Still sinking, he raised his hand hopelessly, wanting to touch the light once before the bone-piercing darkness spread.

He should be at home feeding the fish... At this time, it would be great if Nanli was here...

This thought finally flashed through my mind, but my chaotic thoughts couldn't make sense of the cause and effect.

I can't feel any buoyancy, but the strange suction of the unpredictable deep sea is getting stronger and stronger.Before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw a smooth black shadow across the sparkling water above his head, rushing towards him like lightning.

Is it Nanli?

The outstretched hands were so close, but unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to respond anymore.

……

"Jin Sheng, Jin Sheng!"

"Huh? What's the matter with grandma." Putting down the half-picked red pomegranate in his hand, the little boy lying on the table raised his head, his black eyes with stars hidden in his eyes were smiling, and looked at the displeased boy who was approaching quickly. woman.

"Why peel so many pomegranates again, can't you watch TV?"

"Because mom likes to eat it." Bai Jing's little hand was stained with pomegranate juice, and it was dyed red. Taking advantage of her approaching, Xiao Jinsheng rushed forward and "shared" half of the pomegranate juice with the woman. The white apron accidentally left paw prints, "Mom said before that the pomegranates I peeled were delicious. Look, grandma, I kept the biggest and most complete ones."

"Oh, what about the rest?"

"What's left is incomplete and small and sour..."

"So you just ate it yourself? And messed it up all over the floor?"

"Hey." The child bit his lip and let out a cheeky smile. With one missing front tooth, his laughter leaked out.

The table was messed up and couldn't bear to blame, the woman just stretched out her hand pamperingly, wiped off the red pomegranate juice on her white face, and wiped off her sticky little paws with a towel, and slapped her red-stained mouth coquettishly.Seeing this, the woman said helplessly: "You, you, your mother is fierce. If you make the table like this, she will definitely spank your ass."

"Grandma is a liar, mom is the best!" Pouting her mouth and blinking her long eyelashes, the young Jin Sheng was as delicate as a porcelain doll: "Besides, I have grandma, and I am not afraid of anything with grandma around!"

"Grandma~ I'll give you all the pomegranates I peeled all afternoon, as long as you don't tell my dad, he's the fiercest one!"

"You child." Rubbing the extremely soft hair on his grandson's head, seeing the half-section of toilet paper held up by the little man with a sincere face, with a few pitiful big pomegranate grains inside, he smiled unconsciously Eyes, "Give it all to me? Didn't you say it to your mother?"

"It's okay, I'll just peel it off for her again." Forcibly stuffing the small paper bag, lest she don't want it.Jin Sheng took advantage of the woman to pick up the pomegranate, and put his arms around her waist, where the flesh is soft and comfortable to hold.

"Okay, okay, Jin Sheng, do you still remember the story that grandma told you before?"

"Which story...can I listen to it again?"

"The story of the mermaid."

"I don't seem to remember..."

"How can you not remember?" The gentle female voice suddenly sank, and the smile gradually faded from the eyes. The chill was frightening, as if recalling the unbearable past.

In fact, Grandma Jin is not old. She is just over [-] years old. Apart from her slightly out-of-shape figure, she still has her charm.

"Jin Sheng, you must remember, don't get close to the water, let alone the mermaid, they will take you away."

"Well, grandma, I know, I won't go, stay away from them."

……

"Jin Sheng, don't go to the reservoir to play with those brats, there are mermaids in the water..."

"Grandma, I'm already in elementary school, and soon I'll be in junior high school, don't lie to me, children only listen to stories."

"Are you as tall as your grandmother's shoulders?"

"No……"

"Then you are a child, don't go to the water!"

"it is good……"

……

"Don't play by the water, Jin Sheng..."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety, Lin Yi is still waiting for me, he won't drown."

"Who cares if you drown or not, you will be caught by the mermaid!"

"Mermaids are always like this, hiding on the shore secretly, taking you into the water when you are not prepared, and stealing your heart..."

Her hair was so gray that it was dyed with white snow, the woman became an old woman, staggered, and she really looked like a "grandmother". Jin Sheng also grew up slowly.

Later, the grandmother who loved him the most also passed away, and not long after the old man passed away, his mother also fell seriously ill. Later, the relationship between the parents broke up. After the mother passed away, there were immediately more polite and distant "new mothers" in the family.After graduating from college, starting a job, dating Chang Hao, and confessing his 'unbearable' sexual orientation, he no longer has a place in that family.

Speaking of which, the first mermaid story Jin Sheng came into contact with was neither Andersen nor Ariel, but his grandmother's daily chatter.

Over the years, I have heard a lot here and there, but in comparison, the ones from my grandmother's house are the most authentic.It's a pity that, except for the repeated warnings not to get close to the water, everything else drifts into time and disappears.

Rather than staying close to the water, what grandma really wanted to emphasize back then was not to get close to the mermaid.

……

'...Jin Sheng, wake up. '

Lips and petals were pressed softly and softly, and a cold male voice sounded in his head, low and hoarse, deep, as cold as autumn rain, but piercing his heart.

Never heard of it, yet inexplicably familiar.

It rang again and again, gradually awakening Jin Sheng's consciousness.

The body is still sinking, but there is an upward pulling force, and the suffocation feeling of being submerged in the chest is also gone. Only the legs and feet are still not touching the ground, shaking hands aimlessly, and the resistance is getting bigger and bigger.

Slowly opened his eyes, dazed in a daze, and then focused instantly, because Jin Sheng saw the starlight under the sea that belonged only to him.

Nanli's eyes completely merged with the sea water, which was the only pulling force for Jin Sheng to sink into the boundless seabed, bringing hope to drowning humans.

'Open your mouth and try to breathe. '

——This is Nanli's voice.

It's just a guess, and the guess for yourself is unprecedented.Immersed in the sea, maybe the brain is also soaked in water, which is why the reaction is so slow, and the softness that was stuffed around the lips just now can only be Nanli's lips, sending oxygen to him, otherwise, he would have drowned long ago.

Forcibly awakening his drowsy consciousness, his head was attacked by Chang Hao not long ago, and the sea water around him was icy cold, Jin Sheng knew that his current physical condition was not strong enough to last for too long.

'Jin Sheng, try to breathe. Suffocation by choking on water is not comfortable, Jin Sheng puffed up his cheeks, pretending that there was a lot of air inside, no matter how Nan Li tried to persuade him, he stubbornly shook his head.

'Don't be afraid, I'm here. '

No!

The body continued to fall, as if the ankle was caught by an invisible big hand, no matter how hard Nanli pulled it, he couldn't compete with it.

Seeing that the human beings who lived on land were blushing underwater, they had no choice but to let go of their clenched hands, and turned to wrap their arms around his waist.A man and a fish clinging to the waist, Nan Li took the initiative to lean over, kissed Jin Sheng, took advantage of his surprise to show his fangs, and bit the human's soft lower lip gently, tilting his head back slightly, Jin Sheng was so forced that he had to give up holding his breath and save his lips before slowly letting go.

Nanli's eyes darkened as he tasted a unique sweet and fishy smell in his mouth.

"Ha...cough cough..." Caught off guard by the wild beast in an ambiguous way, Jin Sheng had to open his mouth to inhale, but he didn't choke on the water as he imagined. Got oxygen.

——Mermaids are indeed the species that should appear in storybooks. Similarly, it is not surprising that they create any miracles.

Looking at Nanli in disbelief, she slowly reached out to hug him back.

Sure enough, his south should belong to the sea, not a small bathtub. The huge fish tail is fully stretched, and the transparent sea water has spread a layer of light blue halo on his body. I am crazy about Jin Sheng.

……

"...Jin Sheng, don't go near the water, there are dangerous mermaids who will steal your heart..."

But grandma, I am no longer the obedient child I was before. My heart... seems to have been stolen by a mermaid.

The sea water was too cold, which paralyzed the nerves, and Jin Sheng was in a trance. Even when he was awake, he continued to dream when he was in a coma. His vision was blurred, and separated from the sea water, he couldn't distinguish Nan Li's expression.There is no time to worry about whether his appearance in the dark seabed is related to him, only knowing that his mermaid once again saved him from danger.

Suddenly, there was a dull pain in the back of the neck, and the already sluggish body was completely limp, completely attached to the mermaid.The temperature of Nanli's hand covering the back of his head was actually a bit colder than the bone-piercing sea water. This last blow made Jin Sheng fall into his arms unconsciously, and the hesitation lingering in his deep blue eyes was finally completely resolved by the coldness. replace.

It is no longer the only pulling force to contend with the ocean, even hugging Jinsheng tightly, flicking its tail into the bottom of the sea, the huge fish tail is filled with white foam competing to rise, the scene is similar, but it is completely different from "The Little Mermaid" The choice he made brought his loved one into the abyss.

……

"Jin Sheng, tell mom, what stories did grandma tell you today?"

"The Story of the Mermaid."

"Why is it a mermaid story again, then... how much do you remember today?"

"You can't just go to the water, and you can't talk to strangers, especially strangers who don't wear clothes, can't walk, and can't talk."

"Also, mermaids are the most cunning guys. They will create false appearances and steal our hearts."
