The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Never doubt Lei Boding's ability to act, especially when he is so determined to find someone. For example, Mr. Lei Boding, who is burning with anger in his heart, is carrying two small tails Derby, who was looking left and right, got stuck at the corner of the reef group.

Poor Derby looked at Lei Boding who appeared out of nowhere and was so frightened that he couldn't complete his words, "Ray, Lei Boting..."

Lei Boding raised his eyebrows, with a smirk on his face, "Very well, Mr. Derby, you haven't forgotten my name."

This was the first time Derby saw Lei Boding's expression like this, which made his face turn slightly pale, he lowered his head, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lei Boding, what do you want?"

After hearing Derby's name, Lei Boding almost gritted his back molars—very well, he was upgraded from Lei Boding to Mr. Lei Boding, and he completely forgot that he called Mr. Fang first.

Although there was a moment when Lei Boding wanted to cos roar, but when he met Derby's pale side face, Lei Boting calmed down, he raised his head, "To your house or my house ?”

"What?" Derby's expression was a little dazed.

"Should we go to your house or mine?" Lei Boding explained unhurriedly, "I think we can talk about why you have been avoiding me so persistently for so many days."

"I didn't—" Derby wanted to deny it subconsciously, but when he met Lei Boting's half-smiling eyes, he couldn't say anything, and hung his head a little listlessly, "Go to my house. After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away first, while Lei Boding restrained the expression on his face, pursed his lips and followed.

The place where they met was not far from Derby's home, so the silent passage did not last long.

Derby took Lei Boding back to his home, he put away the fish he caught, and then asked with lowered eyes, "Do you want a drink?"

Lei Boting looked at Derby who didn't look at him no matter what, and went straight to the point, "What is the reason for avoiding me now?"

Obviously, Lei Boding's single-handed attack made Derby flustered, but Derby remained calm after a while. He subconsciously touched his healed wound and replied softly, "Thanks to you, my wound has healed." So you don't have to come here anymore."

Lei Boting was angered by Derby's mouthful of what you said. Huo Diyou stepped forward and held Derby's shoulder to force him to look at himself, "Your injury is healed, so I don't have to come here again. In your heart, what am I?" ?A person who wants to make amends because he feels guilty about his savior? A person who can pat the tail of a fish and turn around and leave once his savior is healed?"

Lei Boting's sudden outburst of anger did not frighten Derby, who was always timid. His expression was a bit bitter, "Isn't it? You spent so much time finding medicine for me to let me get better soon, right?"

"Of course not." Lei Boting denied loudly with his eyes wide open, "Yes, you are my savior, but now you are my friend, whether it is a savior or a friend, I want to make your wound Is it wrong to heal quickly?"

"Friend?" Derby murmured the word.

"Yes, friend." Lei Boding took a deep breath, let go of Derby's shoulder, and slowed down his tone, "I regard you as my friend, I want to be your friend, I thought we We are already friends. That's why we can chat and laugh together, that's why I want to find better ways to promote wound healing for you, and that's why I look forward to waiting for your arrival in the confinement room. But now, I was wrong Do you think it's wrong?"

Lei Boding's burning eyes did not seem to be fake, but Derby felt a bit of bitterness in his heart when he saw it. He smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's the point of being friends with a mermaid like me? I am such a strange mermaid."

"What's wrong with you?" Lei Boting heard the loss and inferiority in Derby's tone, and frowned.

Derby looked up at the imposing Lei Boding, and it took a while before he said, "Isn't it strange? My eyebrows are very dim, my tears can't form beads, and even, I don't even have webbed hands , am I really a qualified female mermaid? Even, am I a qualified mermaid?"

Every time he said something, Derby's face turned pale, because it was the first time Derby had spoken out about his flaws when he grew up so big.In the days before, of course he knew about his own flaws, but he pretended he never knew, and he didn’t need to think, listen, or speak to deceive himself and deceive himself, as if the things that made him sad wouldn’t exist Well, he's just like everyone else, except that he doesn't like to go out a little bit.But how did you choose to speak out today?Could it be because they heard the conversation between Raphel and the others and Lei Boding in the confinement room?Or was it the moment when Lei Boding left after knocking on the door for a long time and couldn't help but chased him out, only to see him talking with the hottest mermaid of the mermaid clan?Derby himself didn't know.But he knew that he just wanted to say this now, in order to give Lei Boding an answer, and even more so to make himself give up. How can you, a strange mermaid, imagine that there are other mermaids to be friends with you?Take the time of more than ten days as a sweet dream, and now it's time to wake up from the dream.

And when Lei Boding heard these words, what kind of reaction would he have?Derby didn't know, and didn't dare to open his eyes that were closed when he finished his last sentence, because he didn't want to see the disgust in Lei Boding's eyes.

However, after a long time, there was only silence in the room, as if no one was there except Derby.Are you leaving?Derby's heart was a little chilled, he slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly found that Lei Boting was still standing quietly in front of him, there was no disgust in his eyes, but a kind of anger and amused, And mixed with some helpless looks, helpless?Before Derby could figure it out, Lei Boting said, "So what?"

"What?" Derby was a little dumbfounded, he didn't understand the meaning of Lei Boding's words.

Lei Boting looked at Derby who was looking at him stupidly, with mixed emotions in his heart, pale complexion, closed eyes, clenched fists, and finally opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, and finally the eyes were completely empty. Undisguised surprise.Such a small, slender mermaid, did he say those knife-like self-harming words to make himself leave or to make him give up?

Lei Boding stepped forward again, and gently held Derby's shoulders, "I said, even if you have those defects, so what? Are these important?"

"Of, of course it matters." Derby met Lei Boding's bright but calm eyes, and subconsciously stammered and retorted.

"What's the point?" Lei Boding asked back, and then continued without waiting for Derby's answer, "Without these things, wouldn't you still be alive and healthy? Are you unable to live or survive because of those things? So far, I don’t think so. What’s the purpose of the eyebrow beads being so bright, and you don’t want to go down the mine to mine; what if you can’t cry into beads, do you need so many beads to play checkers? So what if you don’t have webbing, can’t you make others You can’t even make a hand shadow, but you can still weave the best silk yarn that other mermaids will praise? From this point of view, aren’t you better than some mermaids?”

Derby didn't know why, but when he heard Lei Boding's rebuttals, his heart jumped, but the scars in his heart that had lasted for more than ten years still made him unforgettable for a while, he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice She said, "Some mermaids' tears can turn into black pearls. I can't even change ordinary pearls."

Lei Boting sneered when he heard this, "Maybe he ate too much squid."

ha? !Lei Boding's nonsensical and mean answer made Derby, who was still sad and heartbroken, burst out laughing, "Nonsense."

Lei Boding was very confident, "How do you know he didn't eat too much squid? Did you see what he ate for three meals a day?"

"I—" Derby was stunned by Lei Boting's choke, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

And Lei Boting looked at Derby's cloudy and sunny expression and struck while the iron was hot, "So, I think it doesn't matter if it's eyebrow beads or anything else, as long as you have a healthy beating heart, as long as your eyes, ears, mouth and nose are fine It is already the luckiest thing to be healthy, why should you care so much about other things? Looking back, without those, you still live very well, even, because you don’t have those, so you try to make yourself strong and You have a kind heart and a tenacious character. Based on these alone, you are already a very, very, very good mermaid, much stronger than other mermaids. I am not as good as you, and you are not as positive as you are always full of hope for life The attitude of working hard is not as good as the great courage you show in the face of danger. Do you really feel bad about yourself like this?"

Lei Boding's words seem to have opened up a new world for Derby, colorful and vibrant, no longer gloomy and bitter.But Derby was a little confused, was it himself?Is he really as good as Lei Boding said?Are the things I cared most about before really not as important as I imagined?He couldn't come to a conclusion, but when he looked at Lei Boding's black eyes, Derby only felt a certain part of his heart tremble slightly, with a little numbness and a little sweetness.
