The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"Play?" Derby was taken aback by Lei Boding's sudden invitation, and then shook his head as if remembering something, "No, no, no need."

"Why? Don't you have nothing to do?" Lei Boding seemed a little puzzled.

"I..." Derby faced Lei Boding, and he found that he was not willing to make excuses to Lei Boting, so he finally just lowered his head and said, "You and Raph and the others go to celebrate, really, I don't I really want to go."

Derby's answer stunned Lei Boting, and then he realized that Derby probably heard what Ralph and the others said before that they were going to celebrate after the performance. Lei Boting laughed a little. How long did this little guy come early? Woolen cloth.

Derby, who was secretly looking at Lei Boding, noticed the smile on the other's face, and he frowned in doubt. Was his answer funny?

Lei Boting, who has been following Derby, of course didn't miss the doubt in Derby's eyes, he smiled and waved his hands, "Oh, no, I didn't mean to invite you to their celebration party, but I want to invite you and me, just us Two people, go out and play together, okay?"

"Just the two of us?" Derby repeated Lei Boding's words, as if he didn't understand.

"Yes, just the two of us." Lei Boding nodded, "You and I, the two of us, not with them. I want to hang out with you alone, okay?"

Derby looked at Lei Boting who was waiting for his answer, and couldn't help biting his lips. Derby thought in his heart that Lei Boting probably never knew how attractive such an invitation was to him. No one has ever invited himself out to play.

Lei Boding noticed the struggle on Derby's face, but he didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Derby to make a decision.

In the end, Derby bit his lip and raised his blue eyes, looking at Lei Boting, "When?"

Lei Boding smiled, and the corners of his mouth curved sharply, "Now, oh, no, just stay for a while, you just go home and wait for me for a while."

"Now?" Derby was surprised again.

Lei Boding nodded, "Yes."

Derby looked at the light refracted into the ocean, with a hesitant expression, "The sun is about to set."

Lei Boting smiled mysteriously, "I know you don't like places with many mermaids, so I will quietly take you to a place without mermaids, so as not to disturb those mermaids at night." Hercules look, "Don't worry, I will protect you, trust me?"

Derby met Lei Boting's smiling eyes, and after a long while, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

So after the two agreed, they split up.

Derby felt a little overwhelmed when he got home. It was the first time someone invited him out to play. Should he bring something with him?Ah, I should have asked Lei Boting just now. I don’t know if it will be too late to ask again when Lei Boting arrives. Derby couldn’t sit still and wait for Lei Boting’s arrival with all kinds of questions.

Fortunately, Lei Boting didn't make Derby wait too long. There was a knock on the door of Derby's house. Derby opened the door with unconcealable excitement and joy. Standing at the door wagging his tail was indeed a smiling Leib Ting, "Hey Derby, are you ready?"

"Yeah." Derby nodded, and then asked anxiously, "Do you need me to prepare anything? Sorry, I haven't played with other mermaids before, so I don't know if I should bring something when I go out. You can tell me now, and I will prepare it soon."

Derby's words were heard by Lei Boting, but he felt a little distressed. Lei Boting smiled, "No, I'll take everything."

"Bring it ready?" Derby looked at the thing in Lei Boding's hands curiously, it was still a densely woven bag of seaweed, because of the dim light, Derby couldn't see what it was, so he asked curiously, " What did you bring?"

Lei Boding put on a mysterious smile again, "You will know when the time comes, if you are ready, then let's go."

"En." Derby nodded with bright eyes, and followed Lei Boding to swim out.

The ocean at night is extraordinarily quiet, and the bright moonlight refracts into the sea, bringing a mysterious dark blue to the surrounding area.

Derby, with a dark brow, had some difficulty in parading in such a sea. Just as Derby was struggling to keep up with Leiberting's speed, his hand was gently grabbed, and there was a message that he was half a body ahead of Derby. Reberdine's voice, "Follow me, take it easy."

"Hmm." Derby looked down at the knuckle fingers holding his wrist, felt soft in his heart, and replied in a low voice.

The tranquility of the ocean at night made Lei Boding subconsciously not keep talking to Derby, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, and Derby just quietly let Lei Boting grab his wrist and followed him non-stop. Swimming forward, from time to time, Derby's eyes will always stay at the place where the two are connected, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, there is such a person who is willing to drag himself quietly in the sea in the dark night He, this feels so good, this is like another brow bead, with it, all the anxiety in my heart seems to have disappeared.

Swimming, Derby made a decision in his heart, let it be like this, let it go on like this, even though he feels unsuitable in his heart, even though he feels that he is not qualified, but he is really greedy for this sunshine and this warmth and caring, let him Just pretend that you don't know anything and continue to have this excellent friend.If Lei Boding doesn't alienate himself for a day, he can enjoy such a beautiful friendship without distraction.

After a while, Lei Boting jumped out of the sea with Derby. Lei Boting shook the water from his hair, and then smiled and said to Derby, "Here we are."

"Huh?" Derby just jumped out of the sea following Lei Boting's movements. He looked at Lei Boting's smiling face and felt a little overwhelmed.

"Let me say," Lei Boding dragged Derby, who was also half floating on the sea, to swim in one direction, and said slowly, "We have reached the place where I want to bring you to play."

While speaking, Lei Boting had already brought Derby to the reef exposed on the sea, Lei Boting patted the reef which was still flat, "Can you sit on it?"

Although Derby had doubts in his heart, he still nodded and sat down on the reef with the help of the jumping power of his fish tail, and Lei Boding also sat next to Derby in the next second.

After sitting down, Lei Boding didn't wait for Derby to ask questions. He explained, "Actually, I just want to take you out to relax. It's so boring to stay on the bottom of the sea. During the day, I'm afraid there are people on land and you will be killed." The other mermaids didn't like it too much, so I chose the one at night." Then Lei Boting turned his head to look at Derby, "You don't think my behavior is too boring, do you?"

Derby turned his head to see Lei Boding, who had a nervous expression on his face, showed a shy smile, and shook his head, "No, I haven't been out at night yet, I think it's very interesting." Derby pointed to the moon like a silver plate , "This moon is really big. This is the first time I have seen it. I only heard it from Dad and Daddy before." Then he looked up at the sky, "There are also stars in the sky, shining brightly, twinkling It's so beautiful." After speaking, he looked at Lei Boding again, "This is the first time I see it, I feel very happy, really, thank you, Lei Boting."

Lei Boting looked at Derby's star-like eyes, the slightly curved corners of his mouth, and the hazy blond hair under the pouring moonlight, and suddenly felt in his heart that such a Derby really seemed to be Angel.

Derby noticed that Lei Boding was staring at him in a daze, with two blushes on his face, he turned his head and stared at his tail immersed in the sea uncomfortably, paddled the waves with it, and said in a low voice ,"What are you looking at?"

Lei Boding, who came back to his senses because of Derby's actions, also blushed immediately, scratching the wall for his behavior of looking at others in a daze and being caught, and he had to try his best to pretend Tsukuru coughed lightly as if nothing had happened, and quickly changed the subject, "Ah, I didn't see anything. If you like it, we will come here often in the future. I think the stars and the moon are also very beautiful."

"Really?" Hearing that there will be another time, Derby looked at Lei Boding with bright eyes, regardless of his shyness.

Lei Boting looked at Derby's eyes full of anticipation and excitement, and couldn't help reaching out to rub his blond hair, "Of course, it's not a difficult thing. Whenever you want to come, I'll bring you here. gone."

"You are so kind, Lei Boding." Derby said after receiving Lei Boting's promise, looking at him seriously.

"Ha, I was not good before?" Lei Boding joked with Derby with a smile.

"I didn't know you before... I didn't know you before..." Derby shook his head and smiled after recalling for a while, making splashes of water with his tail.

Lei Boding became curious, "Then you haven't seen me before?"

"Of course I have," Derby replied.

Lei Boding asked again, "Then what was I like before?"

Derby thought for a while, and replied, "The old you, very quickly."

"Quick?" A big question mark appeared on Lei Boding's forehead.

"Yeah." Derby nodded, "I used to see you swam over with a swish, but it's so fast!"

Whoops, this kid used to be a speed freak, Lei Boting muttered in his heart, and then asked, "Then you have no other impression of me?"

Derby thought about it seriously again, then shook his head honestly, "No, I don't know you at all."

"Okay." Lei Boding shrugged, "Let's stop recalling the past, and look forward to the future based on the present, as long as I'm good now." Said Lei Boting's eyeballs rolled and bumped into Derby's shoulder, "Hey , I am really good now, even if you want the stars and moons, I can get them for you!"

"Huh?!" Derby's big eyes widened.
