The Old Man and the Mermaid

Mr. Mermaid approached so slowly that Egrele could even see him blinking those handsome eyes, and the kiss was also very polite, more inclined to the polite kisses that would be made between the closest friends, absolutely not It will make both parties feel even the slightest bit of embarrassment.

But Aigre never thought that he could escape.He feels that this scene may be the most unsolvable problem he has encountered since he grew up, and those confession sentences that are almost rotten in his stomach are directly smashed by this kiss, and together with his thinking ability Disappeared in the vortex of emotion.

After the mermaid sent this kiss, it readjusted its forward-leaning upper body, but it did not move away the hands covering the back of Aigre's hands, but still put on that half-smile expression, watching this man gently. Young man with dull eyes.

It took a while for Aigre to come back to his senses, but his thinking was obviously not very clear.He tilted his head slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth dryly: "Mr. Mermaid..."

The mermaid stared at him without speaking.

"...Does your race have a estrus period?"

Mermaid: "..."

Mr. Mermaid narrowed his eyes slightly, and just about to teach this young man whose thinking was not normal, he heard him take the lead and quickly refute himself.

"Of course there shouldn't be... What am I thinking about?" Aigre raised his head, raised his hand and patted his forehead vigorously, "Could it be possible that there will still be human beings in heat in the world?"

...Maybe there really is.Mr. Mermaid raised his eyebrows, recalling the human beings who were obsessed with their own desires and beautiful bodies described in some books he had read before, and felt that this issue probably needs to be further explored before reaching a conclusion.

"Sorry, I just had an intuitive feeling." Aigre lowered his arms and looked back at Mr. Mermaid with a complicated expression, "Because Mr. Fish looked like he was courting a mate, so I want to make sure first. ...This is not a physical impulse that no one can avoid, is it?"

Mr. Mermaid couldn't help laughing out loud.He couldn't help laughing at the fact that Aigre was in a state of panic at this time, and at the same time he felt more satisfied with the decision he had made.

Aigre watched Mr. Mermaid carefully for two seconds, and finally couldn't help laughing along with him, mocking himself: "I'm really not good at dealing with this kind of situation, Mr. Fish, you disrupted all my plans It's a tangle of headphone wires."

Headphone cable?The mermaid looked at him questioningly.

"Mr. Yu should know about earphones and speakers, right? We use them as sound output tools for various electronic technology devices." Aigre explained with a smile, "Nowadays, portable earphones are generally small, but they are definitely not Convenience — no matter how I organize it, it still ends up in a tangled mess in my pocket, looking like I never bothered with it.”

The mermaid smiled again and nodded slightly.

"I, um...that's not the point." Aigre shook his head, hesitated for a moment, pulled his hand out of Mr. Mermaid's palm, and covered it with many tiny scales on the back of his hand, "I I have prepared a large paragraph of rehearsed words and sentences, and I originally planned to make today's conversation as smooth as possible, and not cause any trouble to Mr. Yu—but now it seems that I have been taken a step ahead."

After a pause for half a second, he couldn't help but continued to laugh and said, "I've never thought about it, but I really like Mr. Mermaid very much. I don't know when this feeling started to appear, but it is very It is so clear that I can't resist it, so no matter whether this matter will break the relationship between us, I still want to tell Mr. Mermaid all my thoughts. I think this should be regarded as treating myself Being responsible is also a kind of respect for Mr. Mermaid."

The mermaid turned her hands over, held Aigre's hand, and gave him a look.

Aigre knowingly tilted his body's center of gravity back, and exerted force with both hands at the same time, pulling Mr. Mermaid from the sea onto the boat.

The wooden boat bumped violently a few times due to the sudden increase in weight, but the shop owner did not deceive Aigre. The quality of the boat was quite good, and it was not affected too much by Mr. Mermaid.

After Mr. Mermaid sat firmly on the boat, Eigre adjusted his sitting posture and continued: "My social circle is very narrow. Although I know that there are probably no people who particularly hate me around me, I really don't have many friends. I am willing to share with you Most of the people I communicate with are older people, because I will always be a junior in their eyes, so I also know what kind of attitude I should face them."

The mermaid coiled the fish tail beside her, still quietly listening to Aigre's words.

"Since I became an adult, I haven't spoken a long paragraph for a long time, until I met Mr. Mermaid." Aigre clasped his hands together, hung them in front of him, and said slowly, "I don't know The reason for speaking more often is that I can’t understand the language of the mermaids, but I really hope to communicate with you—the kind of communication without hindrance. It’s like a friend, even above friends, and even on a deeper level some way."

Mr. Mermaid watched him, a rather subtle smile gradually appeared on his face.

"...I'm not talking about pornographic jokes, Mr. Fish." Aigre coughed dryly, "Your expression will largely mislead our conversation."

Mr. Mermaid still smiled slightly, and nodded his head to express his understanding.

Aigre stared at him with a complicated expression for a while, then sighed, and continued: "I have never established an emotional relationship with anyone, and all my knowledge about this comes from the people around me and written materials. So I don't know what the process would look like if I finally decided to pursue someone."

Probably get some speculation and you're sure to screw it up.Mr. Mermaid replied unceremoniously in his heart.

"I will definitely screw up." Aigre continued to say this sentence quite tacitly.His gaze was always focused on Mr. Mermaid, his expression was very calm, and he did not hide any of his emotions and thoughts, "...But I can feel that Mr. Mermaid should have a good impression of me—even though he said so It’s a bit outrageous, but to Mr. Mermaid, I should be regarded as a special existence. Because you mentioned before, the mermaid almost never comes into contact with any human beings, including you, right?”

The mermaid nodded again.

"I've thought about how to say this for a long time, but in fact, the messy things I'm saying now are completely different from the words I imagined before... There is indeed a big gap between ideals and reality." Aigre raised He rubbed his brows twice with his hands, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again, and asked in a polite tone with all his thoughts poured into him: "I hope to respect any decision made by Mr. Mermaid, So I won't ask any questions about laws, racial differences, or offspring. The only thing I want to know is Mr. Mermaid's own thoughts-will you tell me?"

Mr. Mermaid waited until he had finished speaking, and did not let go of the smile on his face. Instead, he raised his tail fin and rubbed it on the top of Aigre's head twice as an answer.

Aigre let go of the breath he had been holding, let out a long breath, and smiled again, "This is the only answer I want now."

He raised his hands to hold both sides of Mr. Mermaid's caudal fin, and then placed one free hand on the thinnest film of the caudal fin, and pressed the film tightly against his chest, "If Mr. Fish doesn't If you mind—would you like to give me a chance to be your partner someday in the future?"

Mr. Mermaid's breathing stopped for a few seconds.

...What a smart guy.he thinks.

He had made all the preparations, but in the end he seemed to be killed by Aigle.

Under Aigre's candid and gentle eyes, Mr. Mermaid nodded with a smile for the last time, and at the same time stretched out his hand, replaced the position of the tail fin with his right palm, and gently placed it on Aigre's chest superior.

He stared at Aigre, and said a word with a solemn expression.

Aigre was stunned, and asked, "Sorry... I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence."

Mr. Mermaid laughed again, took Eigre's hand, and wrote in his palm: I'll wait for you to learn.

"...that would be great." Aigre finally felt relieved, and said jokingly, "I was thinking just now, if I accept Mr. Mermaid's answer now, I will probably be like a deaf old man. Not knowing a word Mr. Mermaid said - that would be a pity. And I don't want to receive something like a written love letter...I think girls should be better at writing skills in this area."

That's right.Mr. Mermaid recalled the love words circulating on the Internet that he saw on Aigle's computer a few days ago, and felt that if Aigele or himself uttered those words, it would probably be full of a sense of disobedience.

"But it shouldn't take me long." Aigre rubbed his chin and said speculatively, "Although the language of the mermaid tribe is very strange to me, if I calm down and learn it, one day I will be able to learn it thoroughly. Proficient."

Mr. Mermaid gave a slight smile in agreement, then withdrew his hand, and patted Eigre's head with his tail fin again.

At this moment, Aigre finally finished all the words he wanted to express. He shook his head and lamented his eloquence, and said, "I have one last question, Mr. Yu."

Mr. Mermaid looked at him, silently waiting for this question which he felt would not be a good one.

"Will the mermaids also get the pleasure they deserve from certain aspects like us?"

Mermaid: "..."

... If you want to confess, you should speak well, a young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
