[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer

Ludwig returned to Saint-Cyr College overnight, and it was already late when he returned to the dormitory.

He walked to Shen Ling's bedroom door, hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Almost a second after he knocked on the door, Shen Ling's voice, pretending to be calm but still revealing his nervousness, came from the room. "Is... is there something wrong?"

The voice was very close, as if it came through a door.

The tension in Shen Ling's voice was also transmitted to Ludwig, who stammered, "I...I have something I want to tell you."

"It's very late." Shen Ling said, "If there is something to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay..." Ludwig lowered his eyes and looked at the doorknob in disappointment, "Good night then."

"Good night."

Ludwig took a last look at the bedroom door with nostalgia, turned around and took two or three steps before turning back, and said to the closed door: "Tomorrow is Sunday, can I ask you out? No...just I'll take you somewhere... okay?"

"it is good."

After receiving Shen Ling's accurate answer, Ludwig pursed his lips and smiled happily. He had already planned everything for tomorrow in his mind. "I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

"Good night then."

"Good night."

After standing blankly at the door for a long time, Ludwig finally regained his composure and returned to his room.

In the bedroom, Shen Ling, who was leaning against the bedroom door, heard the sound of Ludwig's bedroom door closing, and his tense body relaxed.

"Is there a need to be so nervous?" Fenghuang sneered, "Isn't it because he is the little lover you have missed for eight years?"

Shen Ling's face was already very red, but when Fenghuang said the word "little lover", her ears became even redder.He forced himself to be calm, but his heartbeat was still surprisingly fast.

"Why didn't you ask him just now to see if he still remembers you?" Fenghuang teased maliciously, "Maybe he has forgotten you long ago, but anyway, he likes you now, doesn't he?"

"This is your fate." Hui, who could not understand Phoenix bullying Shen Ling, persuaded. "He asks you out tomorrow, so you can take the opportunity to make it clear to him."

Fenghuang's joke made Shen Ling's already messed up thoughts even more confusing.

A few hours ago, after Caitlin screamed and told him that the emerald pendant belonged to Ludwig, the extremely shocked Shen Ling ran back to Granny Maria, and then learned everything from her.

"Ludwig was called Celia when he was a child. The child was weak and sick when he was a child. His mother was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so he was raised as a girl when he was a child."

"This necklace is indeed his, but I remember that he seems to have lost it?"

"Yes, his orc form is a red dragon. In the entire empire, only the orc surnamed Pendragon is a red dragon."

……

He returned to the dormitory in a trance, but Ludwig was not there, he hadn't come back yet.

Shen Ling stood in front of Ludwig's bedroom door for a long time, her mind was full of the little things between herself, Celia and Ludwig.

The two of them looked so alike, and I had mistaken Ludwig for Celia many times, but why didn't I think that they were the same person?

The person I wanted to find with all my heart was actually by my side, and even pursued me all the time.Shen Ling felt that all this was like someone had played a joke on him, and at the same time, there was a trace of unconcealable joy in his heart.

Great, they are the same person.

He no longer has to reject Ludwig because of missing Celia, and he doesn't have to feel that he has betrayed Celia because of his uncontrollable liking for Ludwig.

Celia was Ludwig, and the person he liked was the same person from beginning to end!

but……

Even if he knew that Celia and Ludwig were really the same person, in his mind, he couldn't equate the two.Celia is his faith, the only light in his life.

In the eight years of constant memories, Celia has almost become his god.

Now that he knows that his god is always by his side, it makes him feel confused and helpless.

Shen Ling returned to his room. He lay on the bed with his eyes open until he heard a noise outside the door. He immediately thought that Ludwig was back, and immediately jumped up and walked to the door.

He held the doorknob with trembling hands, but he didn't have the courage to open the door with a little force.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside the door.

He came in, he approached this way, he knocked on the door...

Shen Ling's breathing stopped at this moment, he had never been so nervous and scared.When Ludwig spoke, his mind went blank, and he just answered his question reflexively.Until Ludwig left, he didn't know what he said.

……

The next day, in Ludwig's black car, Shen Ling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked down at his fingers in silence.

He didn't close his eyes almost all night last night, but he changed his clothes before Ludwig knocked on his bedroom door.In front of the mirror in the bathroom, he carefully looked at it many times, and finally decided that the blue military-style school uniform was the most suitable for him.

So he put on his school uniform, combed it carefully, and sat nervously on the bed in the bedroom waiting for Ludwig.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, Shen Ling walked quickly to the door and opened it, raised her head slightly, and saw Ludwig's refreshing and bright smile.At that moment, he just repeated this sentence in his mind-he is Celia, he is Celia.

Then he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

"Good morning."

"morning……"

"Have breakfast? I bought Mickey Mouse milk and bread."

"it is good."

During the next time they spent together, Shen Ling didn't dare to raise his head to meet Ludwig's gaze.

Ludwig, who was thinking of confessing to Shen Ling, was also very nervous, so he didn't notice Shen Ling's abnormality.

The black car drove away from Saint-Cyr College very quickly, and after driving for more than an hour, Ludwig brought Shen Ling to the central square of Camilla.

Ludwig’s interview with Ludwig a few months ago was placed on the sky screen above the artificial lake in the central square of the city – this was what Ludwig contacted the square management committee last night and specifically asked them to put it on.

Although this interview really made Ludwig feel very ashamed, it was the most suitable background music when he confessed to Shen Ling.

The car was parked in the parking lot of the central square of the city. After the car stopped, Shen Ling still hadn't recovered. He didn't blink until Ludwig called him, and hurriedly went to unbuckle his seat belt.

"I'll help you." Ludwig leaned over and unbuckled Shen Ling's seat belt.When he turned around, he suddenly turned his head and looked closely at Shen Ling's face.

Shen Ling's blush had already spread to the base of his ears, and those black eyes filled with water vapor looked at him helplessly, as if he was about to cry.

"What's wrong with you?" Ludwig, who realized that something was wrong with Shen Ling, was a little panicked.

"No...it's nothing." The moment Ludwig approached, Shen Ling felt his heart beat suddenly faster, and his little heart almost jumped out of his throat.He turned his head and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

"The sound of this heartbeat almost catches up with thunder." Fenghuang laughed.

"Did you say Shen Ling's or Ludwig's?" Hui also rarely teased the next two people.

"Two idiot virgins."

Shen Ling walked quickly in front, and Ludwig followed closely behind.

The two people came out of the parking lot, and the interview voice on the sky screen in the city center square immediately reached their ears.

"Your Highness, this is the first time you have publicly participated in a galaxy-wide interview program. Are you nervous?"

……

Shen Ling raised his head and glanced at the sky screen. Ludwig, who was handsome and shining on the screen, was so far away from him, as if he would always be unattainable, but this person was by his side now.

He is His Royal Highness the third prince of the empire, but from the time he knew him to now, at least in front of him, Ludwig has no airs of His Royal Highness at all.

He was gentle, gracious, caring.

He has a nice voice and he smells nice too.

He seemed to be forever illuminated by the sun, with a bright smile, elegant demeanor, and a certain degree of advance and retreat.

But what about myself?Although I have been working hard, until now, I still have nothing.In front of Ludwig, he was like a clown, humble and insignificant.Ludwig likes himself now because of his physique. If one day the influence of his physique disappears, will Ludwig dislike me?

"Did Your Highness wish to marry a mermaid as a partner since childhood?"

"Looks like I've been betrayed. Yes, that's exactly what I've always dreamed of."

Sure enough, whether it was Ludwig or Celia, marrying a mermaid was their dream.I am a mermaid, but besides this one, what else do I have?

"...Besides the mermaid, what kind of future partner does His Highness hope for?"

"Actually, I haven't thought about the specific requirements. But I hope he (she) is a gentle person... I think if my partner is not a mermaid, then I might want to be with Xiao Hei."

Hearing the word "Xiao Hei", Shen Ling, who was walking in front silently, suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at Ludwig in disbelief.

Why would Ludwig say such things in an interview in front of audiences across the empire?

All the doubts in Shen Ling's mind disappeared when he saw Ludwig's beautiful emerald eyes.

The tenderness and affection in Ludwig's eyes seemed to wish to drown him at this very second.

"Do you remember that Celia told you that she would take you to the central square of Camilla to see the mermaid sculpture?" Ludwig said to Shen Ling in a low voice, "Remember that she promised you to let you see the mermaid sculpture?" Be her bodyguard?"

Shen Ling answered awkwardly, "I remember everything she said." There was a tear in his voice.

"You said you liked someone for eight years. Was that person Celia?"

Shen Ling nodded blankly.

"Then do you believe that I am her?" Ludwig took out the mermaid scale that Shen Ling had given him from the bracelet on his left hand and handed it to him.

Shen Ling didn't reach out to pick it up, he just stared at the scale.

He wants to escape.

Shen Ling's lack of response made Ludwig very nervous. He was afraid that even at this point, Shen Ling would still choose to reject him.

He knew that he was Celia, but at the same time he was not Celia.

Perhaps in Shen Ling's mind, Celia was just the little girl from eight years ago.He was nothing more than Ludwig now, after all, and Celia had long since ceased to exist.

If he just relied on Shen Ling's love for that little girl eight years ago and forced him to accept himself, wouldn't this behavior be too despicable?

"Shen Ling, Celia doesn't exist anymore." After making up his mind, Ludwig still expressed his thoughts, "I am not Celia standing in front of you now, are you willing to accept me?" ?"
