The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"It's Colin." Lei Boding looked at the note in Raffle's hand and said the answer.

"Colin?" Obviously, Ralph was a little surprised by this answer. He looked down at the note in his hand again, and his tone was a little subtle, "I thought it was..." After only half of the sentence, Ralph shook his head and smiled wryly. After a while, "I have to say, this answer is really beyond my expectation." After speaking, he raised his head to look at Lei Boting again, "Why did he ask you?"

Seeing the change in Ralph's expression, Lei Boding shrugged, "What else do you think?"

"For Dean?" Ralph spit out the answer without any suspense.

Lei Boding smiled faintly.

Looking at Leibertyn's reaction, Ralph took a long breath and shook his head with emotion, "Perhaps, we shouldn't have let Dean join our drama club in the first place."

Lei Boding pursed his lips and smiled, "The biggest thing should not be that I shouldn't have known Dean, and I shouldn't have been tempted by him in the first place."

Listening to Lei Boding's self-deprecating words, Ralph couldn't help laughing, "Well, I have to say, your vision is much better now than in the past."

When Raphel mentioned Derby, Lei Boding smiled brightly, "Of course, I won't fall twice in the same place, man, I can guarantee that this time is the most correct decision I have made in my life."

After talking, Lei Boding thought about it and asked Ralph with a smile, "You found that note, why didn't you go to Derby immediately?"

"For a moment, I wanted to question him, asking him if he invited you to Beacon and left you alone in danger." Ralph's answer was very frank, "But when I came back from Beacon On the way, I calmed down again. I think Derby is not that kind of mermaid. Before this, I probably wouldn’t say this for sure, but these days, I can be sure that Derby is not that kind of mermaid. He may have He was very timid and maybe introverted when he was young, but he would never do such a behavior that would be spurned. Perhaps, he is tougher and braver than many of us mermaids."

Ralph's words touched Lei Boding's face, "Wow, my friend, my dear friend, I really, really didn't expect you to speak so highly of Derby."

"Hey, buddy, you're not the only one with eyes, okay?" Raffle looked at Lei Boting's frowning expression, and wanted to hit him, but seeing Lei Boting's body was covered with injuries, he stopped his hand, only white He glanced at him, and then continued, "That's why I want to wait for you to wake up, wait for you to wake up and tell me the truth. That's why I asked Ivor to ask you alone, you know , Ivory is so impatient, if he finds out, I don’t know what will happen.”

"Of course, of course, I know." Lei Boding waved his hand, "So, as long as you know about this matter, don't tell Ivor, I don't want to make this matter a big deal."

Obviously, Ralph had some objections to Lei Boding's last sentence, "You just leave it like this?"

"Otherwise, what can we do?" Lei Boting chuckled, "Go to him? Then beat him up? Will he admit it? Everyone knows that I have a quarrel with him. When he says that I framed him, who can do it?" How about proving my innocence? What about the evidence? That note? That will only bring trouble to Derby.” Seeing that Ralph opened his mouth to say something, Lei Boting waved his hand and stopped him, “Of course, I It won’t be just like this. It’s him who made the mistake this time, he’s guilty, just wait, one day I’ll let him understand how big a mistake he made this time.”

Ralph looked at Lei Boding who didn't look too angry for a while, then shrugged, "Well, you know, I'll always be by your side. If you want to beat him up one day, don't forget to call I."

"Of course." Lei Boding smiled and patted Raph on the shoulder, "One day I will let Colin, a fool, understand why the corals in Bacon are so red."

I have to say that Ivor is a good catcher. On this day, Lei Boding tasted the refreshing feeling of eating fish maw and maw for the first time. leave.

When Derby arrived, Lei Boding was idly counting the number of threads on his tail fin.

Derby stared blankly at Lei Boting's dazed expression, "Rai Boting, what are you doing?"

"Huh?" Lei Boting didn't react for a while, and looked up at the source of the voice in a daze, but when he touched Derby's face, Lei Boting changed his face suddenly, "What's wrong with your face? "

"My face?" Derby touched his face subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something, and replied with a somewhat unnatural expression, "I accidentally hit the wall at home."

"Doesn't that hurt?" Lei Boting looked at Derby's red nose, and thought of the soreness of his nose being hit, he felt numb for a while, "Are you so good that you will hit the wall?"

Derby touched his nose lightly, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't notice it at once, I bumped into it when I turned around."

"That's your home, why can't you even recognize the way to your own home?" Lei Boting looked at Derby's nose distressedly, wanted to reach out to touch Derby's nose but was afraid of frightening Derby, so he could only mutter, Suddenly, Lei Boding thought of a possibility, and asked, "Is it because you were tired from staying up late last night? So you hit the wall in a daze?"

"Huh? Ah... yes." Derby froze for a moment, then nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, Lei Boding became anxious, "I'm so tired, why don't you stay at home and rest well, why did you come here?"

Derby patted the ground lightly with his tail fin, and replied in a low voice, "I fell asleep, and I couldn't fall asleep when I woke up later, so I came to see you." Ting's eyes, "I brought a good thing."

"Huh? Shells?" Lei Boding followed Derby's words and looked down.

"No, no, no, it's not a shell, it's something inside the shell." Derby put on a mischievous expression on his face.

Seeing Derby's mysterious look, Lei Boding couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "What is it?"

Derby tilted his head, "Guess what?"

Lei Boding pretended to think about it seriously, then shook his head, "Oh, my clever and clever Mr. Derby, your question is really too difficult, I can't guess it."

Derby was amused by Lei Boding's intentionally thick voice, he stretched out his hand to open the shell lying in his palm, and said with a hint of pride in his tone, "It's this one!"

Full of expectation, Lei Boting leaned forward to look, and found that it was a light blue jelly-like thing full of half-shells. He froze for a moment, then looked up at Derby with some doubts, "What is this?"

"This, this is the medicine to promote your wound healing!" Derby replied, pointing to the things in the shell.

"Medicine?" Lei Boting looked again, and then asked, "I gave it to you last time? But the color doesn't seem to be the same."

"Because it's not the same one." Derby replied quite naturally.

"Oh." Lei Boding nodded, "Where did you get it?"

"I—" Derby opened his mouth to answer, but turned a corner in the middle of the sentence, "I got it from Nathaniel."

"Nathaniel?!" Lei Boding was surprised again, "You went to find Nathaniel by yourself?"

"Yeah." Derby nodded, swam to sit next to Lei Boting, lowered his head and stroked the closed shell in his hand, "I can only do this for you, I can't do anything else, I also want to Your wound will heal quickly." After speaking, Derby raised his head to look at Lei Boting, and said in a very sure tone, "This medicine is really useful, and you will definitely get better soon after you rub it."

Lei Boting looked at Derby's determined look, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face, "It's hard to say anything else, but there are indeed some good things from Nathaniel."

"Yeah." Derby nodded vigorously, then looked at Lei Boding, "Shall I apply some medicine to you now?"

Lei Boding looked at Derby's puppy-like eyes, smiled, and nodded, "Okay."

Derby suddenly burst into a big smile, and lowered his head to open the shell.

But before his fingers touched the medicine, there was a knock on the door. The sudden knock on the door stunned the two mermaids in the room. Derby looked at Lei Boding, "It's Raph and Ai Buddha?"

Lei Boding's expression was also very blank, "I don't know, Ralph and Ivor just left not long ago."

The knocking on the door continued, Derby thought about putting the shell aside, got up and swam towards the door while saying, "I'll go and have a look."

Reberdine nodded, then watched Derby swim to the door, watched him open the door, and then Derby's exclamation sounded from the door.

"What's the matter, Derby?" Lei Boding was startled by the sudden scream, and wanted to get up and swim over to check the situation in a hurry, but before he got off the ground, there was a dirty mermaid Swimming in, Lei Boding looked at the person coming, and was taken aback for a moment, "Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel, who suddenly appeared at Lei Boding's house, looked at the injured Lei Boting and snorted, "I really regret that I made such a stupid decision to visit you!"

"Huh?" Lei Boting had no idea where Nathaniel's anger came from, and he didn't have time to worry about why Nathaniel was unhappy, so he just looked anxiously at the door, "Derby, Derby, you Are you ok?"

After a while, Derby also slowly swam in. He gave Nathaniel a hesitant look, and then swam to Lei Boding's side, "I'm fine."

"Oh..." Lei Boding replied with some doubts. After thinking about it, he looked at Nathaniel with a stinky face, and asked again, "Just now, are you okay?"

Derby hung his head and shook his head, "No."

Lei Boding's actions obviously angered Nathaniel, "Hey, brat, what kind of eyes do you have? Do you think I bullied this fish-like female mermaid? I didn't touch him, you know, once He screamed at me when I opened the door, I'm almost deaf!" The more Nathaniel said, the angrier he became, and he swam to Derby, "What are you screaming for?"

Derby was taken aback by Nathaniel's action, and shrank back abruptly, and Lei Boding also subconsciously reached out to protect Derby, "Hey, Nathaniel, there may be some misunderstanding here. Derby thought it was mine. Friend, I never thought it would be you who never go out, he was just temporarily frightened."

"Scared?" Nathaniel pointed at himself, "Could it be that I have a shark face? Is it that scary?" Then he pointed the cannon fire at Derby, "It's not the first time you've seen me , you dare to bring a lot of things to my house to find me to change the wound medicine, why are you so timid now?"

Hearing Nathaniel's last words, Lei Boding felt sweet in his heart, glanced at Derby who was hiding behind his arm, and then stopped Nathaniel, "Hey, buddy, Derby is always a bit timid, Just be considerate. So, did you come to visit me because I was injured?"

"Of course not!" Nathaniel slapped the ground heavily with his tail, denying loudly.

"Huh?" Lei Boting was stunned by Nathaniel's huge reaction, "Didn't you just say you came to visit me?"

"Did I say that? You heard it wrong!" Nathaniel quickly retorted, then paused, his expression became a little unnatural, "I just, just came to see if you are dead. You know, although you don't have much vision, you are better than those stupid mermaids. Although I am reluctant, I still hope that my beloved baby will get a little appreciation." Said Nassar Neil raised his head, "Before that normal, far-sighted, and intelligent mermaid appeared, I could barely accept your existence. But now it seems to be fine, you are a little more normal than my appearance, No lunch for the sharks..."

Listening to Nathaniel's awkward words with a suppressed smile, Lei Boting coughed lightly, "Well, I am very honored for your appreciation."

Lei Boting's response made Nathaniel hold back for a while, then he lowered his head and took out a fat shell from his bag that was so dirty that the material and color could not be seen, and threw it to Lei Boting's hand, quite disgusted Glancing at Derby carefully, he said in a rough voice, "Because you changed my only wound medicine last time, so the frail, timid, screaming female Mr. Mermaid next to you last time came from me. Returning empty-handed is of course not my intention. These are fish beads extracted from sharks, which are good for physical recovery, and I thank you for your appreciation of my collection for a long time. I wish you a speedy recovery!" Sanier quickly swam away from Lei Boding's house without looking back.

Lei Boting looked at Nathaniel who was coming and going like the wind, and then looked at the two shells in his hand, temporarily not in the mood to make any comments on this awkward merman.

Lei Boting turned his head to look at Derby, and found that Derby's small face had turned pale, "Derby, do you have anything to say to me?"

Derby looked at Lei Boding with a calm expression, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.

Lei Boding pointed to the two shells, then looked at Derby again, "Where did this come from?" Although there were no ups and downs in his words, Lei Boting didn't intend to accuse Derby or get angry with him. Burtin just wanted to know why Derby lied to him, so he reached out and wanted to hold Derby to sit beside him and have a good talk, but just as his hand touched Derby's fishtail, Derby shook like an electric shock, and his mouth There was also a hissing sound of breathing in, and the whole face was wrinkled.

"What's wrong?" Derby's big reaction made Lei Boding stunned.

"No, nothing." Derby shook his head and hid back.

This obviously wrong reaction made Lei Boding frowned. He quickly grabbed Derby's hand and pulled him towards him, "What are you hiding from? Can I eat you?"

After finally pulling Derby to sit down in front of him, Lei Boting did not allow him to resist and looked at the place where Derby changed his face just now, and then frowned even more, "What's going on?" It was a three-point harsh just now.

"No, I accidentally knocked it off." Derby still wanted to hide back, but Lei Boting was stronger than him even though he was injured, and was held tightly and couldn't move.

"Accident again?" Lei Boding's face no longer had the grinning expression just now, "What kind of carelessness can knock off the scales as if they were torn off? Tell me? Just one knock is six." Seven pieces, still in different positions, how did you smash it?" The tone was already seven points severe.

"I..." Derby had never seen Lei Boding being so fierce to him before, and felt wronged and scared in his heart, tears filled his eyes immediately, as if they were about to roll down in the next second.

"Don't lie, or I'll ignore you for the rest of my life." Lei Boting couldn't explain why he was so angry. When he saw the pitted wound on Derby's tail, he felt that he was about to explode.

Derby stared blankly at Lei Boding for a while, and finally a tear rolled down from his eye socket, and Derby replied softly with a choked voice, "For tears."

"Tears?" The answer was beyond Lei Boding's expectation, and he was momentarily stunned.

"It's just for the tears." Derby couldn't hold back the grievance in his heart, and cried aloud, "My tears can heal wounds, really, I didn't know it before, but today I found out that yours that shed my tears yesterday The wound is much better today. I didn’t believe it at first, and I tried it myself when I got home, and found it to be true. But I couldn’t cry, so, so..." Debi raised his hand and handed it to Lei Boting , "Look, just wipe my tears with this hole."

Lei Boting looked at the mark on the white arm, and listened to Derby's sobbing explanation, the more he listened to it, the more his heart became tense. He pursed his lips, stepped forward to hold Derby's face, and kissed Derby's tears away. Finally, it touched Derby's forehead and whispered softly, "Why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid?"

Derby was so surprised by Lei Boting's sudden kiss that he stopped crying. After hearing Lei Boting's words, Derby pouted, "I'm not stupid, I just want you to get well soon."

The tone was aggrieved yet persistent, and with the teardrops still hanging on the eyelashes, this kind of Derby is like a puppy who has been wronged but still wants to follow his master. This slender mermaid kneaded into her own flesh and blood, "I'm sorry, Derby, I'm sorry..."

Derby listened to Lei Boding whispering in his ear, he sniffed and whispered, "I didn't mean to lie to you..."

"I know." Lei Boting felt that his eyes were a little hot, and his nose was sore. He took a deep breath, pulled Derby out of his arms, then held Derby's shoulders, and looked directly at Derby's wet blue eyes , forced a smile, "Derby, did I say a word to you?"

Derby looked at the solemn Lei Boding and asked blankly, "What?"

"I like you, Derby." Lei Boding looked at the pure-eyed mermaid in front of him, and said word by word.

Lei Boting looked at Derby stunned by his own words. After a long time, the tears he had finally restrained filled Derby's eyes again, but the corners of Derby's mouth curled up, and his eyes became crooked, "Ray Burtin, I like you too."

Accompanying the sentence were two lines of crystal tears that slid down from the corners of the eyes. The difference from before was that the emotion contained in the tears at that time was called grievance, and the tears at this time represented happiness.

Lei Boting looked at Derby's bright smile like a summer flower, and laughed silently, bent forward, and gently embraced the mermaid in front of him again.
