There's a mermaid in my bathtub

Staring at Nanli in a daze, he chuckled lightly. This was not a promise, but it made him feel at ease.

"Aren't you tired, let's rest."

"kindness."

Jin Sheng was indeed tired.

Although the stories Nanli told aroused his curiosity and refreshed him, he didn't really rest, and he still felt sleepy after staying for a long time.

With a slack expression, Jin Sheng closed his eyes and opened them immediately, suddenly grabbed Nan Li's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you going if I fall asleep?"

"Where can I go? Naturally I will sleep with you." Leng Lie's voice was slow, and it sounded unusually warm. Nanli saw Jin Sheng frowned deeply, and still grabbed his wrist, "Why, are you afraid that I will be frozen too?"

"No, no..." Sansan let go, Jin Sheng shrank back, "I'm just asking."

However, it was true. After hearing the story of the silver-tailed mermaid, he was really worried that an accident would happen to Nanli.

Can't tell why, just intuition.

Probably... If you care too much about a person, you will feel that he is surrounded by dangers, and finally understand the exaggerated appearance of his mother's worried face when he went out to play when he was young, fearing that he would be taken away by wolves.

Moving his palm up, Jin Sheng held the delicate face of the mermaid and looked at it carefully. Even if he was extremely sleepy, he didn't want to close his eyes. He looked at it, and suddenly said, "The mermaid who gave me the fish scales looks very similar to you."

"Well, it's normal, we were born around the same time."

"So, he is your brother?" Asking what came to mind, lying too comfortably in Nanli's arms, Jin Sheng's eyelids fought again, "I remember he has a pair of green eyes..."

"The eyes of silver-tailed mermaids are all green." Nanli's voice was extremely soft, which somehow had a hypnotic effect.At this time, Jin Sheng's eyes were already narrowed into slits, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and he seemed to be asleep.

Such a defenseless and beautiful sleeping face of a human being brings back the memory of when the mermaid took him as a "prey". No matter whether he could hear him or not, he continued softly: "The position of the leader is not only in terms of strength, that guy is stronger than me." suitable."

"Then... that is to say, he is also very powerful, is he qualified to compete with you..."

"Well, if he hadn't let that human go maliciously, maybe...everything would be different."

"Oh..." After vaguely listening to the last sentence, he felt at ease as if he had completed the task immediately, completely ignoring what Nanli said in detail.

The sound of human breathing gradually calmed down. When I fell asleep, an unfamiliar singing voice sounded in my ears. This male voice was soft and delicate, and it swayed layer by layer with the waves of the rocky shore to my heart.

Good to hear.

Even if he can't understand what he is singing, the tune is not very special, but this unique timbre is ethereal and melodious, like an invisible hand, gently soothing his heart, can erase all troubles, leaving only peace and happiness.

Along with the singing, there was a long-lost stabbing pain in his right arm, but the range was too small, and the pain was too light, it was not enough to awaken Jin Sheng's consciousness.

Everything seems insignificant when sleepiness strikes, coupled with the singing that lingers in the mind, the pain only induces itching like a mosquito bite.

Scratching twice, Jin Sheng's head was closer to Nanli's chest, and his forehead was on the side of the mermaid's heart. Soon, he fell into a dream accompanied by singing and heartbeats, and only the sound of his even breathing remained in the empty cave.

……

"Mom, are there really mermaids in this world?"

In the hot summer, the cicadas chirped outside the window.

The little boy squatted on the ground with half a piece of watermelon in his arms, and while digging out the flesh of the watermelon with a spoon, he disturbed the woman beside him from reading.

"of course not."

"Then why doesn't grandma let me go to the water's edge? Many people in the class have gone to the beach to swim in the summer vacation, and my mother will take me too, okay?"

"No, although Mom really wants to go to the beach."

"Why! Since mom wants to go too, let's go together. Anyway, mom still has a holiday this year, doesn't she?"

One after another, the immature child's voice really disturbed her concentration, the woman had to stop what she was doing, turned her head to look at her child, and immediately there was a spoon with a large piece of watermelon in her mouth.

"Thank you, mom won't eat." Smiling and refusing, Qian Xiyu rubbed the child's extremely soft hair with her fingers, "Why don't you go to the beach, because grandma doesn't want us to go."

"Then don't tell her, we can quietly... oh mother!" His ear was lightly pulled, interrupting his unspoken plan.

"Be obedient, Jin Sheng." Frowning, he knocked on the little Jin Sheng's head, which immediately caused the latter to complain, "But everyone else has been to the sea, unlike me, I have only been to the swimming pool..."

"Others are others, we are us."

With a sigh, children always have a rebellious mentality, the more they are not allowed to do it, the more they want to do it.After a while, he changed his words and comforted him: "When you go to junior high school, mom will take you there."

"...Junior high school is too far away, can't we just do it this weekend?" With a pursed mouth, she was not satisfied with her promise, but she wanted to make more progress. Jin Sheng acted pitifully, not realizing that her stubbornness was embarrassing her mother.

"No, your grandma has been in poor health for the past two years, and she wants to live with us all the time. If you're in such a hurry, why don't you just let her know?"

The woman sighed and felt that Jin Sheng should be more sensible at this age. After thinking about it, she simply told the truth: "Your grandma drowned when she was young. Even if she was rescued later, she has a heart disease. She is old, don't let her down." What she's worried about."

No wonder his grandmother would not let him go to the water since he was a child.

No matter how much he understood, Jin Sheng didn't let go of his thoughts.Although I live inland, there are cities in neighboring provinces where you can see the sea, "Well, I, I will let my father take me quietly..."

"Oh, where do you want your father to take you?"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and seeing the person coming, the children in the room suddenly lost interest. The plan was discovered before it was perfected, so they could only stare, give up, and shouted unwillingly: "Grandma .”

"kindness."

Nodding in response, the old woman looked at Jin Sheng seriously, her gaze was too harsh for a child under ten years old, the latter quickly stepped back behind her mother, showing half of her head, "Mom said, there is no such thing as a child in this world." Mermaid, grandma, you lied to me."

"Nonsense, why is there no mermaid? Grandma saw it with her own eyes."

The eyes are sharper, and the normally kind woman will go "crazy" every time a mermaid is mentioned. The dark eyes are darker and darker. Compared with the story, it is more like stating the facts: "Mermaids are very beautiful, with white fish scales. They What I want...is to catch people into the bottom of the sea..."

"The bottom of the sea...it's cold..."

……

She slept soundly this time, and when she woke up, she was looking into the dark blue eyes of the mermaid, and Nanli really did as he promised, and did not leave.

Nanli wakes up earlier than him every time.

The eyelids are sore, and after opening them once, they have to "close their eyes and rest their minds", and grunt twice before opening them again.

Jin Sheng rubbed his eyes and regained his clear vision. He was a little weak in the morning, so he borrowed Nan Li's body as a force board, and was able to barely sit up.

Humans don't sleep honestly, and they don't roll around, but they can definitely make a mess "in place".

He used to sleep on a bed and could twist the sheets under his body into a ball, but now he sleeps on a rock and cannot cause damage to the environment. The result of last night's "battle" left him with black hair that was messier than a chicken coop.

Sleep quality was pretty good last night.

"Nanli..." The voice was hoarse, and the mermaid sat up immediately after listening to him, hugged him into his arms, and patted him a few more times while smoothing his hair for humans.

"I'm thirsty, for a while...can I trouble you to take me to the island?"

"Wait a little longer, you just got up, the water is too cold." So, I kneaded again with cooler hands.

"Okay." Shaking his head, his eyelids were a little swollen after sleeping for too long, during this time, the mermaid's claws had already touched his chest along his armpit, harassing the tender bulge of his chest shamelessly.

Frowning, pinching, and unceremoniously breaking off the fish's claws, Jin Sheng went to the nearest pool to wash his face.

The singing I heard before falling asleep yesterday was too weak. After a long sleep interval, I have long forgotten about it, and only vaguely remember the dream of eating watermelon.

Sitting on the rocky shore for a long time, quietly fell asleep for a short sleep, after being supervised to stretch his body, Jin Sheng finally got Nanli's consent and was taken into the sea by him.

After a good night's sleep, every pore of the skin is open, so it is really not suitable to go into the water immediately.The sea tide around him was bitingly cold. In contrast, the mermaid who was always by his side had a "body temperature", and the embrace under the sea was actually very warm.

Instead of swimming hand in hand with Nanli as usual, Jin Sheng lay lazily on Nanli's back, with his nose hidden in the mermaid's hair, enjoying the good taste of getting something for nothing.

The sky is bright, it seems to be approaching noon.This sleep lasted long enough, even if he closed his eyes briefly, he still had the stance of continuing to sleep.

The amount of exercise has been about the same in the past few days, and my physical strength should not decline so quickly.

Jin Sheng didn't pay much attention to his full energy, which was the aftereffect of going into the water immediately after waking up in the morning.He turned his head and looked behind him, and found that his legs were almost completely attached to Nanli's fishtail, and only briefly separated when it was swinging. The soft, soft flesh collided with the hard scales from time to time, and the touch was wonderful.

After swimming a long distance with a person on his back, Nanli didn't feel tired at all.Soon, they entered the black passage at the bottom of the island. This time, Jin Sheng did not close his eyes.

When breathing underwater, there is a big difference between seawater and freshwater. Freshwater will have a unique sweet taste when it is filtered into the nasal cavity, and it tastes much more delicate than seawater.

After getting out of the water and going ashore, Jin Sheng drank his fill during this process. Jin Sheng coughed for a while before getting up. During this period, Nan Li skillfully fished out four fish from the water, one fatter than the other.

"It was more than I could eat.

Forget it, Nanli can eat it.

Shaking off his hands, wet trousers were uncomfortable against his body, hesitating with his fingers on his waist, he turned his head to meet Shang Nanli's expectant blue eyes.

Jin Sheng: ...

Intuition warned that if he took it off, he would definitely be sexually harassed by this guy.

Probably more than harassment.

Immediately giving up the stupid idea of ​​taking off his pants, Jin Sheng turned his head with a stiff face, and went to collect firewood with a whole body of water.

The last time he came here, his mermaid had a very unpleasant fight with the monkey group masters on the island. I hope this time they won't be chased away by them.

Soon, Jin Sheng returned to the lake with the wooden branches and wild fruits, and handed over all the laying and preparation to Nanli. As a real chef, he was enough to "handle the spoon".

Seeing that Nanli helped him get the fire, threaded the fish, and even broke open the seasoned wild fruit, Jin Sheng took the things slowly, put them on and roasted them step by step.It seems that what he is doing is the simplest job, all he needs to do is turn his fingers, but in fact, there are many ways to control the fire.

With one stick in each hand, there are two more in line. Even the best chef has only two hands. He cannot grill four big fish at the same time, so he can only do it slowly in batches.

He's had it twice, and nearly roasted Nanli.

Looking at the grilled fish in his hand and the beating red flames, he somehow thought of these.

I want to apologize, but I don't know where to start.In the end, I turned my attention back to the grilled fish—Nan Li was so edible, it was more appropriate to express my apology to him with food.

The first time was raw and the second time was cooked. Chef Jin mastered the fire very well, and the fish meat on the skewer soon released the aroma. The slender white smoke drifted into the woods along the wind, and it was unknown where it was going to go.

The juice blended in and sizzled on the fish skin. Nanli never left his eyes. The mermaid couldn't tell which was more delicious, the grilled fish or Jin Sheng's round fingers.

Yawning, the skin of the fish had already turned yellow, Jin Sheng took two long wooden sticks, put the smaller one by his mouth and blew for a long while before taking a bite to confirm the taste.

Just right.

Responding to the attention of Nanli with a smile, he began to eat unceremoniously.

It takes a long time for the whole fish to cool down. Last time, Nanli didn't start until Jin Sheng finished eating.But also after a night without eating, even if the mermaid has the attributes of a camel and can eat three meals a day, Jin Sheng's voice of pursing his mouth deliberately is enough to be provocative.

Look at the human pink lips stained with oil, shining brightly, which is more attractive than fresh fish.

So, Nanli couldn't help sliding his Adam's apple, and moved his body closer, so that he could see it more clearly, but the sound of swallowing for the beauty happened to fall into Jin Sheng's ears.

The human who ate the fish turned his eyes in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.

——Is Nanli so hungry?

"Wait a little longer, I can't eat in a hurry... Forget it, it's better than being scalded." Busy chewing, this comfort was extremely insincere, which made the mermaid even more dissatisfied.

He paid close attention to Jin Sheng's eating movements, watched him pickily tear off the fat fish skin that was not evenly roasted, and blew on a certain piece of fish for a long time, bluntly revealing the location of his mouth.

Nanli raised his eyebrows, and pulled out the fishing rod in Jin Sheng's hand at the critical moment, causing the man to open his mouth and bite, the teeth collided, there was a clear sound, and he almost bit his tongue.

"Nanli!"

The food to the mouth is taken away, and the saliva collected in advance is as dissatisfied as human beings.

Jin Sheng swallowed angrily, and stretched out his hand to Nanli: "Give it to me."

Don't give.

Shaking his head and refusing, Nanli was confident and indifferent, and tried to snatch it, but no one was strong and flexible, so he could only watch the bad mermaid open his mouth, his fangs completely covered his blowing part, and bit into it.

Jin Sheng: ...

Isn't it hot?

Even if it blows cold, the temperature is still hot for the mermaid.

Sure enough, light blue blood vessels reappeared around Nanli's lips, obviously scalded by the heat from the grilled fish.

Jin Sheng looked coldly at Nanli, who was injured by gluttony, and couldn't laugh or cry. While fanning him with his hands, he approached and said, "Aren't you afraid of the heat? You may not be able to bear the heat that I can bear. The rest The three are all yours, why are you robbing me...uh..."

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by his soft lips, and all the fish that was taken away was returned, but Nanli didn't let go easily, instead he kissed deeper.

At this point, Jin Sheng realized that the goal of this fish was not barbecue at all.
