The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Derby was knitting gauze in the room when the door was knocked, and when he opened the door, the mermaid standing outside made him stunned, "Ray?"

Lei Boting looked at Derby's staring eyes and smiled, "Why are you so surprised? Have you never seen me?"

"Ah, no, no." Derby, who came back to his senses, waved his hands again and again, and explained while turning sideways to let Lei Boding in, "I see that you have been very busy recently, and I never thought you would come here at this time."

Derby is telling the truth. Since the last time he met Cheng Chi, Lei Boting has suddenly become busy. He is often in a state where he can't see the end. Derby has not had a good time with Lei Boting for several days. together.

Every time Lei Boding appeared, he would either send some fish maws and maws in a hurry and then leave, or he could finally sit down and have a good chat with Derby, but he often began to doze off halfway.

It is not without doubts about such an abnormal Lei Boding Derby, but after several in-depth questions were confused by Lei Boding, Derby did not continue to ask questions—after all, Lei Boting is not attached to Derby, he Also have your own freedom and privacy.

On the other side, Lei Boding, who was swimming in front, heard Derby's explanation, paused for a moment, his expression was unnatural for a moment, and then turned around with a smile, "It's different today!"

"Huh? What's the difference?" Derby looked puzzled.

"Just now the patriarch came back with his clansmen!" Lei Boding said loudly with an exaggerated expression.

"Really?" Derby's eyes lit up when he heard Lei Boting's answer.

Lei Boting looked very frightened, "Of course, can I use this to lie to you, I'm really back, didn't you hear how lively it was outside?"

Derby seemed a little excited, "Why do I always feel that there are very noisy voices in the distance?"

"Yes." Lei Boding nodded in agreement, and then stepped forward to take Derby's hand, "Let's go and have a look together, I heard that the patriarch and the others brought back a lot of novel things!"

The so-called fishing tide is not only to go fishing to worship the sea god, but also to take this opportunity to communicate with mermaids in other sea areas, so usually mermaids in different sea areas will exchange some things from their respective tribes.

Derby was moved by Lei Boding's attention for a moment, but quickly shook his head again, "No need, I'm still at home."

Lei Boding didn't miss the change in Derby's expression, and asked, "Why don't you go, I think it's quite interesting."

Derby smiled, "I don't like lively places..."

Lei Boting listened to Derby's unfinished words, and understood that Derby was still not used to appearing in places where mermaids gathered. His original intention was to let Derby get in touch with mermaids more to practice courage, but he didn't force him. Lei Boting thought about it for a while. Shrugged and said, "Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go, I happen to have nothing to do today, let's stay together for a while."

This suggestion made Derby smile a little bit more, and he nodded, "I'll get you a glass of water."

"Yes." Lei Boding nodded and agreed.

Derby looked at Lei Boting, who was drinking water, and said after a while, "I haven't had a good rest recently, I think you seem a little tired!"

Lei Boding touched his face subconsciously, "Really? Obviously?"

Derby nodded, "Well, his complexion is not very good." After speaking, he swam to Lei Boding and sat down, took Lei Boting's hand shyly and said softly, "Although I don't know what you are busy with, I still want to Pay attention to rest."

Lei Boting put down his water glass and stared at Derby's soft, reddish side face. He held his hand tightly with his backhand and asked, "Aren't you wondering what I'm up to?"

Derby unconsciously patted the ground with his tail fin and shook his head, "You have your own things to do, and you don't have to ask me about everything, do you?"

Facing Derby's eyes with a soft smile, Lei Boting felt that Derby is such a mermaid who is so sensible that people can't wait to feel more distressed and love him. He reached out and touched Derby's face, and said slowly, "Very Come on, I'll be done soon, and you'll know then."

Lei Boding's words made Derby's mouth slightly curl up, "Wow, it sounds very exciting!"

Lei Boding leaned forward and kissed the corner of Derby's mouth, "Of course."

Such an intimate touch made Derby hang his head, but the red tips of his ears betrayed his mood at the moment.

The smile on Lei Boding's face deepened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, "Derby, is Lei Boting with you?"

The call outside the door made Lei Boting raise his eyebrows. He patted Derby's hand and got up to swim to the door. "Ivor, what can I do for you?"

Ivor, who was standing outside the door, saw that Lei Boding looked a little proud, "I told Ralph that if you were not at home, you must be here in Derby, and I was right."

"Oh, well, buddy, you really know me too well. So, can you tell me why you are so eager to find me?" Lei Boding asked.

Ai Fu didn't hesitate to say what he came for, "The patriarch is looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Lei Boding was stunned for a moment, "Why are you looking for me?"

Ivor shrugged, "How do I know, I only know that the patriarch is looking for you, and told us to tell you to go to his place when we see you." Seeing that Lei Boding opened his mouth to say something, Ivor rushed ahead of him and said, "Don't say Why go later, the patriarch said, I will let you go immediately when I see you."

Lei Boding, who originally wanted to hang out with Derby, had no choice but to give up when he heard this, "Okay, I will talk to Bibi." After speaking, he turned around and wanted to go to the house to find Derby, but found that Derby did not know when he came from the house. Swimmed to the living room.

"Is there anything important?" For a female mermaid like Derby, who has never interacted with the patriarch for three to five or seven years, going to see the patriarch is enough to make him feel uneasy and anxious.

Lei Boting stepped forward and patted Derby on the shoulder, "It should be fine, I've been very honest recently, I'll be back soon."

Seeing Derby's nervous look, Ai Fu comforted him, "Don't worry about Derby. In the past, Lei Boting was dragged into the house by the patriarch for getting into trouble every now and then, and he was used to it!"

"Hey, buddy, is it necessary to tear down my platform!" Lei Boding obviously felt a little embarrassed when his good brother exposed his embarrassment in public.

Derby, on the other hand, was relieved a lot by Ivor's gag, "Then you and Ivor go together, I still have some silk yarn to finish!"

"Well, I'll come back to you later." Lei Boding didn't say much, and left Derby's house with Ivor after giving instructions.

When he arrived at the patriarch's house, the patriarch was leaning on a chair with his eyes closed, and the long-distance travel made the old man over half a century old look exhausted.

Lei Boting didn't know what made the old man anxious to see him when he just arrived home full of exhaustion, but he still swam up to the patriarch Chas and said hello softly, "Hi, Mr. Chase, I heard from Ivor that you are looking for me?"

Reberdin's voice caused Chas to open his eyes from his doze, and looked at the young fish standing in front of him. Chas looked him up and down several times until he didn't know where his tail should go After posing, he retracted his gaze and nodded, pointing to the stone bench next to him, "Well, sit down."

After thanking Lei Boding, he took the seat designated by Chas.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Chas looked at Lei Boding and asked.

Lei Boding thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Chase." Then he added, "I've been quite honest recently, and I haven't caused any trouble."

Chas, who was still serious, softened his face when he heard Lei Boding's last words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So you know you've been getting into trouble before."

In his heart, Lei Boding felt that he had to pay for his predecessor Lei Boting, and on the surface he raised his hands as a gesture of surrender, "I think, as an energetic young male mermaid, there is always a period of unreliable love." Spectacular nonsense time."

Reberdin's words made the smile on the corner of Chas's mouth slightly widen, "So, you mean that your unreliable nonsense time is over?"

Lei Boding nodded seriously, "I think it should be like this, Mr. Chase."

"Okay." Chas nodded, "As far as I know now, I think you are indeed much more reliable than before. For example, the drama club you, Ralph, and Ivor set up together sounds very interesting. , and seems to be very popular with the clansmen." Seeing that Lei Boding couldn't hide his complacency because of his words, Chas changed the subject again, "But when will your frizzy personality change? I heard You went to the Bacon Reef and almost lost your life when you encountered a shark?"

"Oh..." Lei Boting didn't know why the patriarch got involved in this matter again, and spread his hands, "This was just an accident, and I didn't want to."

Chas looked at Lei Boding, who was winking, and sighed, "Ray, as you said, you are no longer young, please stop doing things that make people feel at ease? I went to your father and Daddy Visit them at the resting place, and I tell them you are fine now, so don't worry your daddy and Daddy anymore, okay?"

Eh?Why did you suddenly turn sad again?Lei Boding felt that he really couldn't understand Mr. Patriarch's speech, could it be that way when he was old?In any case, since Chas mentioned the two parents of Lei Boding who died young, he could only straighten his expression, and replied seriously, "Yes, I know, Mr. Chas, I am not what I used to be now It’s nonsense, I’m living hard every day.”

Chas nodded and said slowly, "I also know that you are with Derby now, and I am very happy to hear the news. But there are some things I still want to tell you now, Derby is a very good and excellent female Mermaid, maybe he is not as lively and cheerful as other female mermaids, maybe he is a little different. But Derby has the best heart and the most dexterous hands in our mermaid family. He deserves to be treated wholeheartedly. I hope Can you say in front of other mermaids that you recognize his excellence and cherish his excellence. Take good care of Derby and don't treat feelings as a trifle, understand?"

When it came to the matter about Derby, Lei Boting’s expression became solemn, he nodded, and his tone was very firm, “I have always treated my relationship with Derby with the most sincere feelings and attitudes, sir, please Don't worry, I value Derby as I treat my life, and I will do my best to make him happy..."

The conversation didn't last long, and Chas told Reboutine some things and let him go.

Seeing the back of Lei Boding leaving, Chas showed a gratified smile.

As a patriarch, Chas is not only responsible for the daily life of the mermaids in his tribe, but also pays attention to the lives of the young mermaids who have lost their parents. Since Lei Boding's parents were in distress in the fishing tide, Lei Boting is like He changed into a mermaid and became foolish and troublesome everywhere, which gave Chas a headache.

But maybe it is really in line with an old saying that setbacks make people grow, and after experiencing life and death, people will also become mature. Since the last time he was in danger in the forbidden area, Chas found that Lei Boting gradually faded away from his impetuousness The reckless character became calm.And after the fishing wave came back this time, after listening to other people's general evaluation of Lei Boding during this period, and after talking with Lei Boding just now, Chas was finally able to confirm that this young fish who had always given him the most headache , has finally become mature.

"Hey, guys, your child is fine now, really fine, you can rest assured." Chas looked at a decoration on the table with some tired eyes, whispered such a sentence, and closed his eyes again. He closed his eyes and dozed off.

On the way to Derby's house, Lei Boding couldn't hide his good mood. The pair of himself and Derby were officially recognized. Although he didn't care, Derby cared. Now the patriarch nodded. What kind of tongue can a gossip mermaid chew!
