The Old Man and the Mermaid

"God..." Seeing that Aigre's expression didn't look like he was joking, Royce took a few seconds to hold back his urge to exclaim, then excitedly grabbed Aigre's shoulder, and said with a smile: "No Will you? Brother! It hurts my heart that you didn't inform me of such an important matter. But, sir? Although I haven't asked you this question before, you never Being in the same-sex circles at the academy, and as far as I know, you haven't dated anyone before. Are you sure you're feeling right?"

"I'm sure." Aigre sighed and shook his hands off his shoulders, "If I don't even have the ability to distinguish, I'd be too ashamed of my profession."

"Sexual as well?" Royce continued to ask jokingly.

Aigre: "..."

Royce laughed.

"...the sexual aspect is the same." Aigre resisted the thought of punching him, and said truthfully, "I am a man with normal body functions. I respond to him."

"Wow." Royce said in amazement, "Aigre is indeed worthy of you. You are probably the only person I know who can say such erotic things with such a serious expression."

"It's your own brain that is too dirty." Aigre pushed him away again, went out from under the eaves to feel the force of the rain, and then turned to him and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Hey, I'm not some little princess who needs the protection of Prince Charming." Royce trotted to his side while talking disgustingly, "But I'm really interested in your emotional journey—don't worry , I will definitely not talk nonsense in school. You have known me for so long, you should still be able to trust me in this regard. "

Royce is indeed not a person who reveals other people's privacy.Even though he is always overly cheerful in the academy, and even likes to joke and play pranks, few people really can't stand him.Although this is also the reason why he controls these little tricks quite cleverly, but he is indeed a principled guy.

Aigre took off his coat and put it on his head, walked forward with Royce for a short distance, and waited for his replacement to ride on the car before he said: "I never thought about it. There is such a thing as having a loved one later in life. My parents passed away very young, and while I know they are very loving, I also know how difficult it is to lose a loved one.”

Royce blinked at him for a moment, but didn't answer.

"But when this feeling comes out of my heart, I can't stop it." Aigre said, and 100 years gave Royce a sideways look with a half-smile, "I'm right, there was 'Experienced' Mr Royce?"

"Cough..." Royce cleared his throat and said righteously: "Although I am indeed very popular, the girls I have dated with can definitely feel my sincerity-so my answer is , yes, love is like the heavy rain that is raging above our heads now, since it has come, it is definitely not something that can be driven away just by driving it away."

Aigre recalled the astonishing scene of heaven and man seen in the rain that day, and after a while, he agreed: "That's right."

"However, you don't look very frank now." Royce looked at him, "I think... Well, it's better not to inquire too much."

Aigre raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

"Compared to hearing your bitterness, I would rather hear the good news that you have successfully made a vow with your sweetheart." Royce wrinkled his nose and said, "So unless you finally succeed in embracing the beautiful woman, don't bother to tell me A sad love story."

Aigre watched him quietly for a long time, and after the warm current of his words dissipated in his mind, he laughed and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity."

His life so far has been dull and embarrassing, but he never minds other people's sympathy and gossip, and he can find his own happiness from various tiny corners.He has always firmly believed that his grandfather, his parents, and himself must be happy when their lives are not over.

So apart from worrying about Mr. Mermaid's attitude, he has almost nothing to hesitate about.

After sending Royce back to the villa, Aigre stood at the door of the villa and sighed, thinking about the handwriting left by Mr. Mermaid before he left with some headaches, he rarely became a little dazed.

And on this stormy night, Mr. Mermaid, who was still missed by others, also spent a period of time that was not very suitable for rest.

When he woke up in the morning, it was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest.It took far more energy to get that document from the deep sea area than it seemed on the surface, so even after finally resting, he still felt somewhat unavoidably sleepy.

After a little adjustment, Mr. Mermaid opened his eyes and floated to the surface of the sea.

The rays of the morning sun had just touched the sea surface, and it was still very early. Most residents on the island probably didn't even have time to eat breakfast.But on such an ordinary and warm morning, Mr. Mermaid was quite surprised to find that Aigre had already driven the boat to the surface of the sea one step ahead of him.

"Good morning, Mr. Mermaid." Aigre's expression looked much calmer than last night, and his mental state was quite good. It is not clear whether it was because he had enough rest yesterday, or because his state was entirely from own expectations.

Mr. Mermaid said good morning to him, along with a faint smile, and stretched out his hands to climb onto the formwork beside the boat, propping up his body a bit.

Aigre was stunned for half a second, but soon came back to his senses, gave a dry cough, and described the details of last night in detail, and told Mr. Mermaid that he still needed to see his professor and those alumni off in the afternoon.

Mr. Mermaid listened quietly to his narration, and at the same time focused his eyes peacefully on him, recalling all the thoughts that had occurred in the past two days, and the expression on his face became softer because of this.

"... After they leave, I still need to go to the security team, because some things last night need to be recorded, and the replacement time also needs to be recorded..." Aigre stopped slowly before he finished speaking.

He stared at Mr. Mermaid's side face covered by the gentle sunlight at this time, and the delicate scales reflecting light on his neck and ears, and felt a tightness in his throat.He barely regained his consciousness before suffocating, and had to say with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Mr. Yu, can you please temporarily...don't look at me like this."

The mermaid raised her eyebrows, stepped back a little, and looked at Aigre's expression at this time, and the smile on her lips widened again.

Aigre wore a pure white shirt today, which is quite a common style on the market, but because the morning sun is so beautiful, he looks like he has been plated with gold, and the surrounding sea surface Blended into one, merged into a nearly perfect painting.

It just rained heavily last night, and today's temperature is not too tormenting. Whether it is the weather or the occasional small waves, it looks extremely beautiful and quiet.

But Aigre felt that it was so hot right now.

He took a deep breath to clear his mind for a while, then he grabbed his hands on the wooden board beside the boat, leaned forward slightly, and calmed down his tone as usual, "I'm not very good at these, so I hope the fish Sir, don't mind my clumsy tongue - my university tutor will probably want to take me back and remake me, but right now, it's too late for me to regret it..."

His words were not finished.

Because Mr. Mermaid covered the hands holding the template with his hands, and approached him at a speed that he was fully capable of dodging in time, and landed a gentle and polite kiss on the corner of his lips .

... He may have really seen his grandfather's back.Before his consciousness was completely clouded, Aigre's brain sent such a clear and profound thought to the depths of his soul.
