The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"You are so kind to me, but once you encounter something, I can't help you with anything. So what if your fingers are flexible, so what if the silk yarn is well woven, I can't exchange all the silk yarn. The medicine to heal your wounds, I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know.” Derby said with tears streaming down his face, sobbing, he took Lei Boting’s hand and held it gently, “But I beg Please, don’t die, okay? I still have something to say to you, a lot of things to tell you, so please wake up, wake up quickly..."

The prayer accompanied by tears overflowed from Derby's mouth, but he wanted to make the mermaid who heard it still lie on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, motionless. Seeing the once cheerful and caring mermaid become like this, Derby felt that his My heart seemed to be tightly clenched by an invisible palm, and it hurt, but I couldn't find a foothold.

For the first time, the first time he looked at the mermaid lying on the bed so quietly and for a long time, Derby suddenly remembered that in his short 20 years, except for the care and love given to him by his father Daddy, those laughter and happiness They all came from Lei Boding.

It was the first time that Derby sat down and recalled those memories and fragments, only then did he realize that this person had occupied so much place and weight in his heart.

Because of thinking, knowing, understanding, and awakening, even a cowardly person like Derby still wants to grasp his hard-won happiness.

When Lei Boding woke up, his consciousness was still a little unclear, but his most intuitive feeling was that he felt pain everywhere, so he hissed instinctively, and then looked at the lying in front of him hazily. The person sat up abruptly as if frightened, then said something in a high-pitched tone, and finally his hand was tightly grabbed.

As if the computer was starting up, it took Leiberting some time for his mind to really clear up, and his vision gradually became clear. He saw Derby sitting in front of him. When his gaze fell on Derby's face, Leiber Ting frowned, "What's the matter, you?" It was only after she spoke that she realized that her hoarseness was severe, and her throat felt like a burning sensation.

Derby didn't miss Lei Boting frowning and swallowing his throat after speaking again, and subconsciously turned around to get a glass of water, slightly raised Lei Boting's head to let him drink the water, and waited until Lei Boting seemed to have recovered Then he put the water glass aside, opened his mouth and said with a smile, "You, you're awake." Following the words, there were crystal tears falling down.

The cool and slightly sweet water slid down the burning throat, and Lei Boding let out a long sigh of relief. He raised his eyes to see Derby with teardrops on his eyelashes, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?" The eyes like two peaches made Lei Boding feel distressed.

"Me? I'm fine." Derby shook his head, and began to ask Lei Boding anxiously, "What about you? Is there something wrong with you? Does it hurt?"

"It hurt a bit just now, but it's okay now." Lei Boting said while lowering his head to check his injury, and after looking at it for a while, Lei Boting smiled, "It seems to be much lighter than I thought, I thought it was going to hurt." What a tragedy." When he woke up, he recalled the memories before he passed out, but the wound on his body was not what Leiberting expected, and he seemed to be grateful that the dolphin came fast enough.

After Lei Boding sighed, he found that Debi was staring at his body in a daze. His face was as thick as Lei Boting would feel a little blush when his sweetheart looked directly at his body, so he was only half joking. Covering his chest with his hand half-seriously, he said, "Well...even though I know I have a good figure, but your scorching gaze still makes me feel shy..."

"Eh?" Derby raised his head blankly, and when he noticed the narrow smile in Lei Boding's eyes, he suddenly reacted, his face turned red, and he waved his hands again and again, "I, I, no, I'm not... ..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I understand everything." Lei Boting was addicted to being cute, and stopped Derby's words with an expression that I understood, and changed the subject, "Why are you here alone? What about Ralph and Ivor? I didn't see them come to see me when I was injured, how disrespectful!"

"No." Hearing what Lei Boting said, Derby ignored the shyness and explained for the two mermaids, "Yesterday they were here with you for a long time, and they left after something happened. They will definitely come today .”

"Then you stayed here with me all night?" Although Derby's eyes were swollen like peaches, Lei Boting did not ignore the faint blackness in Derby's eyes, and his brows frowned again, "You should Could it be that you haven't slept all night?" He reached out and touched Derby's cheek lightly, "Still crying? Have you been crying for a long time? Look at your swollen eyes."

Derby always seemed extremely shy when he was close to Lei Boding, but after such a thrilling yesterday, after experiencing the ecstasy of losing and regaining, for the first time, Derby boldly clasped Lei Boting's hand with both hands without flinching. , with a trembling tone, "I thought, I thought you would never wake up again, I was scared, really scared."

Facing the fear and confusion in Derby's eyes, Lei Boting didn't care to be happy about Derby's active touch. His heart was sore and soft, and he gently shook Derby's hand with his backhand, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you wake up, the injury is not too serious."

Although Lei Boding said such an understatement, Derby, who had seen Lei Boting's hideous wound yesterday, understood that things were not as light as Lei Boting said. He didn't speak, but held Lei Boting tightly. Ting's hand, it seems that only with such strength can he truly feel that the mermaid in front of him is real, not just a fantasy in his dream.

Through the intertwined hands, Lei Boding seemed to feel the uneasiness in Derby's heart, so he didn't say anything, but quietly let Derby hold his hand.

The two stayed in silence for quite a while before Derby calmed down a bit, raised his head and asked Lei Boding, "Why...why did you go to the Bakken coral group alone?"

Lei Boding didn't answer Derby's question, but asked something else, "Who brought me back yesterday?"

Derby didn't know why Lei Boding suddenly asked this, but he still answered honestly, "It's a dolphin."

"Dolphins?" Lei Boding raised his eyebrows, with some surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah." Derby nodded, "some fish found that the dolphins have been singing outside our residence, swam over and saw that they were biting your scales in their mouths, and then followed them to find that you were lying on the coral covered in blood. In the group, several dolphins have been guarding you by your side."

"Last time I saved the little guy, but this time they repaid their favor." Lei Boding said with a smile.

"You..." Derby thought for a while and asked the question again, "Why did you go to the Bakken coral group alone?"

"I was bored, so I swam there after wandering around." Lei Boding explained, "I didn't expect to meet a shark either."

Such an answer did not arouse Derby's suspicion. He just lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Don't run into dangerous places again."

Lei Boding nodded, "Understood."

"Are you hungry? I'll get you some fish." Derby looked up and asked.

"Not too hungry." Lei Boding shook his head, "You can just talk with me."

Just as Derby was about to nod, a surprised voice came from the door, "Ray, are you awake?"

Lei Boding and Derby both turned their heads to look towards the door, and saw Ralph and Ivor standing there with a look of surprise, especially Ivor, whose tail fin was constantly beating the ground in excitement.

Lei Boting laughed, "Why, don't you believe me?"

"Of course not!" Ivor swam over quickly, looked up and down Lei Boding, and stuttered because of being too happy, "It's really, really good that you woke up!"

Ralph, who came with him, also looked at Lei Boding and joked, "I didn't expect that your recovery ability is really beyond our imagination."

It was only now that Ralph was in the mood to joke with Lei Boting, he really didn't want to experience the cold feeling of fear yesterday when he saw Lei Boding being sent here covered in blood.

The heartfelt joy of Ralph and Ivor moved Lei Boding's heart for a while, and he also joked with the two with a smile, "I am the indestructible body of King Kong."

"King what just what?" Ivor didn't understand for a moment, but the next second his attention was attracted by the wound on Lei Boding's body, "My sea god, Lei, you are so amazing, you were so amazing yesterday. The deep wound has become so shallow today!"

Ivor's exclamation moved the attractiveness of the people present, and Raffl looked at it carefully for a while, and his eyes were full of surprises, "Well, buddy, I have to say, your recovery ability is really really amazing. So strong, above all of us, you are a miracle."

"Really?" Lei Boding looked a little puzzled, looked at his wounds with Ivor, shrugged, "I thought I was only slightly injured."

Even though he said so, the astonishment of Raph and Ivory still made Lei Boding mutter in his heart. Could it be that this body really has some unknown superpower?For example, super repair power or something.

It didn't take too long for Lei Boding to be fascinated, because Ivory's voice became louder again, "Slight injury? You really don't know that when we saw you, I almost passed out, covered in blood, Lying lifeless in the coral like that, I almost, almost thought you were dead at that time!" After speaking, the picture that he didn't want to recall in his life reappeared in Ivor's mind, which made him voice became choked up.

"Really, Ray, you scared us this time." Ralph walked up to Lei Boting and put his hands on Lei Boting's shoulders, his tone was a little scared, "At that time, I almost couldn't even shake my tail. You know, that scene was a nightmare for me."

The words of the two friends made Lei Boding feel a little guilty, why was he so careless?Because of my own carelessness, my friends around me suffered such a blow.

Lei Boting pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Okay, I heard an old saying before, saying that if you lose your fortune, you may know that it is not a blessing, maybe there will be good things in the future," Lei Boting said, looking at Raffle Derby, who has been silent since they came in, "Right, Derby?"

"Huh? Huh?" Derby, who was immersed in his own thoughts, came back to his senses because of Lei Boding's call to him, and looked at everyone with a blank expression.

"Missing a horse? What kind of horse is that? Is it a kind of seahorse?" Ivor couldn't understand.

"Hey, this is just a metaphor. It means that if a bad thing happens, it may not necessarily be a bad thing to the end. Maybe there will be other good things that will follow." Lei Boding looked Seeing Ai Fu's eagerness for knowledge, he felt that he couldn't explain clearly in a few words, so he explained the general meaning and then changed the subject, "Derby, are you tired? I think you are not in good spirits. You didn't feel well last night. How are you going to sleep?"

Lei Boding's words made both Ralph and Ivor focus on Derby. Ralph looked at Derby's black eyes, his expression was a little subtle, and he gave Derby a meaningful glance at the concerned Lei Boting. Said, "I stayed here all night yesterday. How can I be healthy if I don't have a good rest. Now that I am here with Ivor, Derby, you might as well go home and have a good rest."

"That's right, if you don't take a good rest, your spirit will be very poor." Ai Fu also said, "I kept you on guard all night yesterday, I really worked hard on you."

Originally, according to Derby's personality, he would insist on staying with Lei Boting, but now he has something on his mind, so he nodded and smiled at Lei Boting, "I'll come see you later."

Lei Boding waved his hand and warned, "Understood, you should rest well, I have Ivor and Ralph here, don't worry."

"Well, then I'll go first." Derby nodded, said goodbye to Ralph and Ivor, and left Lei Boding's house with a slight frown.

Lei Boting looked at Derby's back and frowned, "Why do I think Derby seems to have something on his mind?"

Ai Fu waved his hand carelessly, "I think he is too tired. He didn't sleep well all night. Seeing how swollen his eyes are, he must have cried after we left." Swimming to Lei Boting, "It seems that you are not unrequited love."

Ralph saw Ivor's unscrupulous manner and joking with Lei Boding, and stepped forward to pat him, "Ray is still injured, and you are still messing with him. Didn't you say to get some fresh fish maw and maw for Ray? Did he make up for it well?"

"Oh, that's right." With Raffle's reminder, Ivor also remembered, and turned around in a hurry, "Ray, you must be starving, I'll catch you some fish for you to eat!"

Before Lei Boding raised his hand to stop him, Ivor disappeared in a flash.

"Why are you so impatient..." Lei Boting was a little dumbfounded, turned his head and looked at Ralph again, joking, "Ever went fishing for me, my dear Ralph, what do you want to give me to replenish my body? ?”

Ralph smiled and swam unhurriedly to sit next to Lei Boting, "I'll stay with you."

"Okay, since Ivor contributes material comfort, you can contribute spiritual comfort." Lei Boting joked with Ralph, but after finishing speaking, he found that Ralph was looking at him indifferently, so Ralph who neither spoke nor smiled Lei Boding was quite uncomfortable, "What's the matter, Raph?"

"Let's talk about it." Raffle said.

"What?" Lei Boding was a little puzzled.

"Tell me how you managed to run to the Bakken Coral Group, and tell me how you were injured again." Seeing what Lei Boding wanted to say, Ralph raised his hand and said first, "Don't fool me with words that fool Derby, I I know that's not the truth." As he spoke, Raffle raised the object in his hand, "I picked it up in the coral group."

Lei Boding looked at the things in Raffle's hands, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "My friend, why are you always so careful?"

This side is carrying out the 'revealing of the truth', and on the other side Derby swam back home in a trance, sat on the stone bench for a while, Derby suddenly reached out and touched his face, frowning, the expression in his eyes was Doubt and incomprehension, but also with the slightest uncertainty.

But after a while, the expression in Derby's eyes became firm again, he took a deep breath, and then raised his fist...
