The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Dean joined the drama club, and got along very well.

Some people are happy and some are sad about such a result. When Lei Boding heard the news, he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, so he did what he should do, even though deep down he didn’t want Dean to have any relationship with his own life. What an intersection, but it was not his own drama club, besides, allowing Dean to join was a joint decision made by the members of the drama club.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Lei Boting began to minimize the number of times he went to the drama club, chatting and spanking with his buddies Ralph and Ivor didn't have to go to the drama club, right?

But since I try not to go, there are also situations where I have to go, such as being asked to deliver scripts.

Lei Boting wandered to the drama club, took a look inside, and found that Dean was not there, quickly called Ralph out and handed him the script, then turned around and left, Ralph made fun of him, "You are almost It's like a hundred sharks are chasing you."

In response to his friend's teasing, Lei Boding didn't even look back, he just waved his hands and swam away at a faster speed.

Ralph shrugged, turned around with a smile and swam into the drama club, but just as he turned around, he found someone standing not far from him looking at him, "Dean?"

Dean, who was standing there, looked at the direction Lei Boding left, with a bitter expression on his face, "Does he need to break with me to such an extent now?"

Ralph suppressed the smile on his face, and said lightly, "When the patriarch comes back, you will hold a ceremony with Colin. I think there is nothing wrong with what Lei Boding did." After finishing speaking, he went straight to swim Into the drama club.

Dean stood for a while, pursed his lips, and went in.

Lei Boding, who didn't know that such a small episode happened, went to Derby's house after giving the script, because Lei Boting wanted to talk to Derby-he found that Derby's mood was a bit strange recently.

Occasionally distracted and occasionally frowned, and several times Lei Boting found Derby staring at him in a daze—Rai Boting was not so narcissistic that he felt that Derby thought he was too handsome, so he was stunned. There was something on his mind, but what annoyed Lei Boding was that when he asked Derby, he just shook his head and said nothing.

Lei Boding had a good plan, but plans are never as good as changes. He made a fuss, but found a note on the door of Derby's house, which was for him.

Lei Boding, please go to the Beacon coral group, I will wait for you there.

Derby

Lei Boting saw the content on the note and smiled. Well, although the little guy seems to be cautious now, after so many days of contact, he is no longer so timid and sensitive, and it is considered an honor to be able to ask himself out It's a good start. The more he thinks about it, the smile on his face grows bigger. Lei Boding folded the sticky note and held it in his hand, then swam towards the Bakken coral group. His fluttering tail fin occasionally revealed his good mood.

The Bacon Coral Group is a beautiful place, where there are beautiful colorful corals and small and flexible fish. Under the flow of sea water, the corals will be gently placed, like leaves blown by the wind on land. , which is pleasing to the eye.

To be met by Derby in such a good place, even if he is as calm as Lei Boding, he can't control his thinking and put on the chicken wings of imagination-does Derby want to tell himself about his youthful care?Will there be a protagonist in this budding little thing?

If Ralph or Ivor had been there, they would have told Rabden what an idiot he was laughing.

Lei Boding, who was not too slow, swam to the Bakken coral group, but he didn't see Derby, which made Lei Boting wonder in his heart, did he wait for him for too long, so he went to wander around elsewhere first?

Before Lei Boding could turn around to look for someone, a voice sounded from behind him, "Rai Boding, are you here?"

A voice completely different from Derby's made Lei Boting pause for a moment, then turned around and looked at the person passing by. Lei Boting raised his eyebrows, "Is that you?"

"Hi, Al, it's been a long time." Derby jumped out of the sea, sat down on the reef familiarly, and greeted his friends on land with a smile.

"Oh...it's really been too long." The blond man with darker hair than Derby reached out and patted Derby on the shoulder, and nodded with a bright smile, "You know, every time we arrive at this time, our town always It will be a little busy, I have to help at home. However, I will come to you as soon as I finish my work, how is it, how are you doing recently?"

"Well, it's good." Derby nodded, with that lovely smile still on his face, "I thought you'd be busy for a while, but I didn't expect you to blow conch shells and come to me today."

Al leaned on Derby and sat down on the reef, shrugging, "I haven't finished my work, but occasionally I have to take a break from my busy schedule. You know, continuous work is a kind of torture for me."

Derby was amused by Al's winking, and laughed. When Al saw Derby smile, he laughed too.

The two laughed together for a while before they gradually stopped laughing. Derby asked Al, "Is there anything new in your town recently?"

Al shook his head, "Nothing has changed," he said after a pause, "Even Lance hasn't come back yet."

Hearing Al mentioned Lance, the smile on Derby's face gradually faded. He reached out and patted Al's arm, "He will definitely come back soon, because we friends are caring about him."

"I think so too." Al heard Derby's comfort, with a smile on his face, "I think he will find the Holy Land and return safely. I pray like this every day."

Derby also pursed his lips and smiled, "I also prayed to the Sea God."

"Thank you, Derby." Derby's words made Al show a moved expression, "Lance will be touched to have a good friend like you."

"We are all good friends of Lance." Derby replied with a smile, wagging his tail in the sea.

"Well, we are all good friends of Lance." Al nodded vigorously, then looked at Derby, tilted his head and said, "Derby, you seem to be a little different."

"Huh?" Al's endless words made Derby very confused, "What?"

Al looked Derby up and down again, and said affirmatively, "Yes, there seems to be something different about you."

"Different? What's different?" Being sized up by Al, Derby couldn't help but look down at himself, but found nothing.

"It's just..." Al thought for a while, then clapped his hands, "Yes, it feels different, it feels brighter and happier." As he spoke, Al bumped Derby's shoulder, treacherously He smiled and asked, "Hey, buddy, did something good happen?"

"Good thing?" Derby frowned puzzledly, and then thought of something, his face suddenly turned red.

"Wow, really something good happened?" Derby's reaction made Al shout out, "There are happy things to share with good friends, tell me quickly, is it our little Derby's harvest lost his love?"

Al's last words made Derby jump into the sea like a needle in his ass, and it took a long time to show his head and stammer, "What, what love, Al, stop talking nonsense."

When Al got excited, he didn't care about his image. He lay on the rock and made eye contact with Derby, "Hey, we are good friends who talk about everything. I know you very well. Judging by your reaction, you think I can trust you." What nonsense!"

The cool sea water didn't cool down Derby's flushed face. His face was still hot, but when he met his friend's scorching eyes, he suddenly couldn't utter the words of denial, and could only murmur, "I, I don't know either……"

Al didn't miss the trace of sadness in Derby's eyes, and his expression became serious, "What, have you encountered a problem? Tell me, and I'll give you a reference."

"You?" Derby questioned his friend for the first time, because he felt that his friend really didn't seem like the kind of emotional analysis professional.

"What's wrong with me? I'm also experienced, okay?" Derby's suspicion made Al pound his chest loudly, "In terms of relationships, I know more than you. Think about Rupert."

Rupert, Al's partner, once the example of Al was mentioned, Derby thought about it, and it seemed to be the same, so he nodded, and sat on the reef again from the sea, "Well, to be honest, I am also very worried. chaos……"

"Well, tell me, and I'll analyze it for you." Al immediately assumed the attitude of a close brother.

Perhaps it was the relationship between Al and Rupert that made Derby feel that the other party might be reliable, or perhaps it was the troubles and entanglements of these days that made Derby want to find someone to talk to, and finally Derby talked about him and Lei Bertin. .

From the initial meeting that was not beautiful or even dangerous, to the later acquaintance, to the time in the confinement room, Lei Boting's active contact with Derby, and his obvious or subtle feelings towards Derby concern.

Derby told Al about how intimately Lei Boding brought himself into his circle of friends and guided his friends to accept him; he talked about how Lei Boding took him to swim and play in the sea, talking or talking to himself. It is an interesting or inconspicuous legend; there is also the bright moonlight that night and the shooting star that Derby will remember for life.

The emotional troubles made Derby have no reservations about Al. He told the things that seemed sweet to him, and did not skip his troubles——Dean.

Yes, Dean is currently Derby's biggest worry. He doesn't want Lei Boting and Dean to get in touch. Even just talking between the two will make Derby feel uncomfortable. The jealous self must look ugly.

Derby had no position to ask Lei Boting to do or not to do anything, but he also couldn't control the unhappiness in his heart, as well as the slightest unease.

Occasionally, Derby felt that Dean was the dazzling pearl, and he himself was a grain of fine sand and a dusty reef on the dark seabed that no one would pay attention to. Standing with Dean, he would only It made Derby feel inferior and wanted to back down.

Derby was even grateful to Al for summoning him at this time. Too many worries were backlogged in his heart, and Derby felt that he would go crazy if he had no place to confide in him.

Al listened quietly to Derby's confession, and then he said affirmatively to the frustrated and disturbed Derby, "Obviously, Lei Boding likes you, and you like him too."

"No, no, I don't think Reboutine likes me, he just regards me as his friend." Al's conclusion made Derby's head shake like a rattle, and Derby lowered his head after denying, "You It's my friend, I don't want to deceive you, maybe I do have some affection for Lei Boting, but, I think, Lei Boting doesn't have the kind of feelings for me that you said."

Al was not in a hurry to insist on his point of view, but said unhurriedly, "I just speculated based on your narration, you see, Lei Bodin didn't show so much attention to other female mermaids, did he? Even if It's the Dean he used to like. Although you don't like them together, you can't deny that Lei Boting is not too close to him, can you? Judging from your description, no matter what happened to the previous Lei Boting So, at least he is not acting like a playboy now. He is willing to do so much for you, a female mermaid, why do you doubt him? Even I think he is probably also distressed now , he is so obvious, why are you still so indifferent!"

Following Al's words, Derby's heart settled down a little bit. He has now abandoned his doubts about Al's unreliability just now, and completely regarded him as a guiding light, "If what you said is true, So, what should I do then?"

"Give him a response, you don't need to confess to him, but at least you have to give him a response." Al said firmly, with a big wave of his hand, "Show your attitude on certain things and tell him how you feel. Believe me, He won't dislike you for this, but he will be happy about it!" Al stopped Derby's shoulder, "Dude, you have to take the initiative, happiness will not wait for you in place, it also requires you to work hard, if you like Don't make him look like he's messing around, Raibertine. Really, you can wait for his confession to you, but before that, you have to give him some encouragement, you have to make him feel that your heart is actually the same……"

"Be brave...I want to be brave for my future, for my happiness..." Derby, who bid farewell to the love counselor, kept chanting what Al said to himself, and moved toward the mermaids at a constant speed. places to swim.

Al is not a magician, he can't turn a timid little rabbit into a big tiger that frightens the world, but at least, he made Derby firm up his heart that was still a little wavering and a little shy.

Love is mutual, and it is impossible to pluck the little flower called love if you are in a hot state of shaving your head. This is the most important truth that Derby understands today.

The timid, sensitive, and shy little Derby arrived at the residence of the mermaid, he thought for a while, then turned and swam towards Lei Boding's house—of course he didn't miss Lei Boting's troubled days. After looking at his worried eyes several times, he decided to have a good talk with Lei Boting, at least, so that Lei Boting wouldn't be confused.

It didn't take long to swim to Lei Boding's house, but Derby was surprised to find that Lei Boting's house was very lively today, and many mermaids were gathering at Lei Boting's house.

Before Derby could react, Ralph swam out from Lei Boding's house. He saw Derby not far away, and he swam forward after being stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"I, I'm here to find Lei Boding." Derby no longer had the initial nervousness facing Ralph. He looked sideways at Lei Boting's house and asked, "Why is it so lively today? Are you here to rehearse?"

"No..." Raffle shook his head lightly.

"That?" Derby looked at Raph with questioning eyes.

Looking at Derby with pure eyes, Raph suddenly felt that opening his mouth had become a difficult task. After a long time, Raph took a deep breath and said something that made Derby feel dizzy, "Rabertine , injured, very serious."

"What?" Derby responded unconsciously.
