The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Derby, would you like to be my partner?

That short sentence made Derby feel that the whole world became silent at that moment, and no other voices could be heard.

The handsome and strong mermaid in front of me was looking at me tenderly, asking myself, not others, but me, a mermaid named Derby.

What came to Derby's heart after the initial blank mind was over was not the great ecstasy, but the indescribable bitterness and emotion. The uncontrollable emotion made Lei Baiting see the crystal clear eyes of the little mermaid in front of him. teardrops.

Looking at Derby who was weeping silently, Lei Boting was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up, and he passed the shell in his hand to Ozzy who was at the side, then flicked his tail fin to get closer to Derby, raised his hand to hold Derby's His eyes met his tearful eyes, and he said gently but firmly, "I know I'm not that good, I'm just an ordinary male mermaid, and maybe at some point the clansmen will feel a little headache and ruffian. Before, I also thought that I would live my life in such a ambiguous way until I met you. If life is a journey, then you are the most beautiful scenery I have encountered that makes me want to stay forever. Living until now, I have met I have experienced many things, happy, angry, sad, happy, all kinds of things. But meeting you and getting to know you is the best thing that happened to me. I don’t know how to express it in more words I feel grateful, excited, and happy about the fact that the god of the sea treats me so favorably. I just want to tell you with my most sincere and sincere heart in front of my clansmen that I share with you. The request at this moment—my dear Derby, would you please be my partner?" After saying that, Lei Boding picked up the ring from the shell in Ozzy's hand, bent his tail and made a kneeling gesture. He looked up at Derby, who was in tears, with a gentle smile in the corner of his mouth, waiting for Derby's answer.

Perhaps it was because Lei Boding's way of proposing was too unexpected for the mermaids, so the whole scene was silent except for Derby's soft sobs.

"Promise him!" Suddenly there was such a shout from the mermaid group.

As if a switch was pressed, the voices of the entire group of mermaids burst out together.

"Promise him, Derby!"

"Such an affectionate prayer deserves your promise!"

"Promise Lei Boding!"

The loud sound made the whole square noisy, but Lei Boding still kept the posture of the original request, smiling and looking at the little mermaid in front of him.

Amid the anticipation of all the mermaids, Derby raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, showed a bright smile to Lei Boding who was kneeling in front of his eyes, and nodded vigorously.

Such a silent action made all the mermaids cheer, and Lei Boting also showed a big smile when Derby nodded and put the ring on Derby's ring finger, and finally held Derby's Standing up and bowing his head, he smiled and said, "I think you will bring me the best memories in the future." After that, Lei Boting hugged him tightly. The little mermaid in front of me put her mouth next to Derby's ear, and her tone was a little excited, "My dear, thank you, thank you so much, I love you."

Hearing the trembling voice in his ears, and looking at the cheering mermaids in the audience, the tears that Derby could hold back with great difficulty flowed out again, and he hugged Lei Boding tightly, " No, it should be me thanking you, thanking you for loving me, thanking you for giving me so much, and thanking you for loving me.”

Feeling Derby's tears falling on his shoulders, Lei Boting smiled, and gently patted Derby's back with his hand...

Seeing the two quietly embracing each other on the stage, the mermaids in the audience felt that Lei Boding and Derby were surrounded by an aura called happiness. The mermaids looked at each other and smiled, and then turned and left very intimately. , leaving the place to the soon-to-be couple.

The scattered mermaids excitedly discussed Lei Boding's innovative and romantic marriage proposal in twos and threes, and Ozzy said enviously, "I really, really didn't expect Lei Boding to be such a person." A romantic male mermaid, Bibi is really happy to die!"

Seeing Ozzy's yearning expression, Ivor hurriedly said, "I can be very romantic too!"

Ozzy gave Ivor an angry look, "Such a romantic scene is rare, okay? Besides, if you make one like this, it will be nothing new at all!"

Ivory faded...

The other mermaid slapped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, don't you think that the plot of the new play just now is actually very similar to that of Reberdin and Derby?" Did Lei Boding also participate in it? This is all planned by him?"

Ralph smiled and nodded and shook his head again, "Ivor and I wrote this story, and Lei also added some small plots into it. We only know what you have seen about the proposal, and we didn't even tell Lei the rest. "

As soon as Lei Boding said this, some female mermaids showed longing expressions, "Derby is the first female mermaid to receive a ring proposal. Didn't it be said in the new drama that the ring finger is connected to the heart? Bringing it on means a heart-to-heart bond..."

Another female mermaid interjected, "Yes, yes, and Lei Boding's affectionate marriage proposal, I am really envious of Derby to death!"

Chatting, chatting, chattering, the unmarried female mermaids were enthusiastically discussing various details of the proposal just now, while the listening male mermaids suddenly felt that the road ahead was bumpy—with jewels like Lei Boding in front of them, they The way to propose to an unmarried male mermaid has become extremely difficult. If you still want to cheat your lover back home with a few sweet words, just think about it!

Thinking of this, the male mermaids suddenly felt infinite resentment towards Lei Boding who had already returned from the derby.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. No matter how the male unmarried mermaids resented, Lei Boding's heart and eyes were full of the little mermaid in his arms at the moment.

After the two hugged each other quietly for a long time, Derby withdrew from Lei Boting's arms, wiped his eyes with some embarrassment, glanced around, and asked in embarrassment, "Why are you all gone?"

Lei Boting looked at Derby's red eyes and nose, and teased him with a smile, "Probably because I feel embarrassed to see us hugging each other!"

boom!It was only then that Derby realized that he hugged Lei Boting together in full view of the crowd, and his blushing immediately surpassed that of Red Coral, as if he was about to pass out.

Lei Boding was very confident about this, "We will soon become a couple, so why not hug each other, it's reasonable and legal, okay?"

Derby still felt ashamed, "But, but, so many mermen are watching."

Lei Boding reached out to wipe Derby's crying face, and took his hand to swim forward slowly, "What does it matter, we can't help it." After finishing speaking, Lei Boting turned around and showed a smirk, "Hey, today you agreed to my marriage proposal in front of almost all the clansmen, so you must never go back on your word. I have a large group of witnesses."

I don't know why Lei Boding suddenly mentioned this, Derby's face became hot again after the temperature subsided a little, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I won't regret it."

Although the voice was surprisingly low, Lei Boding still heard it clearly, and the smile on his face was even more obvious.

Lei Boding, who is well versed in the principle of accepting as soon as he sees it, did not continue to tease his shy and timid daughter-in-law, and talked about other things, "Say, when should we hold the ceremony?"

However, even though Lei Boting had already given up on teasing Derby, for Derby, who was already in a state of excitement and shyness, any word from Lei Boting would make him feel extremely shy. Hearing Lei Bo Ting discussed the time of the wedding with himself, and Derby was shy again, "You, you decide."

Lei Boding noticed Derby's quail appearance, grinned silently, and explained solemnly as if he hadn't seen anything, "We need to prepare things for the mermaids who come to our wedding, and it will take a while. I need to tidy up a bit." At this point, Lei Boding paused, then turned to ask the shy Derby, who kept his head down, "Speaking of which, Bibi, where do you want to live after we finish the ceremony? My house? your home?"

"Huh?" Derby raised his head and looked at Lei Boding with a puzzled expression.

"When we get married, it's impossible to live in two houses. We have to live together." Lei Boding asked after explaining, "Do you want to stay with you or move to the house?" Where am I coming?"

Apparently, Derby, who was led into the topic by Lei Boting, temporarily forgot his shyness and thought about it seriously for a while, then whispered with some red ears, "Why don't I move to your house."

Derby's answer made Lei Boding raise his eyebrows, but seeing Derby's blush spreading from the tips of his ears to his face, he kindly didn't ask Derby why he made this choice - anyway, he can always ask when they live together in the future from.

Lei Boding nodded in agreement, "Then move here." Finally, he added, "I estimated the time we need to prepare things, or we can hold the ceremony ten days later, okay?"

Derby, who has completely entered the state of a little daughter-in-law, naturally agrees unconditionally.

After deciding on these two main things, Lei Boding dragged Derby to swim in another direction, "We have to report to the patriarch."

"Huh? Going to see the patriarch?" Lei Boding was stopped by Derby before he could swim forward.

Lei Boding looked back at Derby who was a little surprised, "Yeah, since we have decided on the date, of course we have to tell the patriarch."

But at this moment, Derby's expression seemed a little hesitant. He unconsciously swung his tail fin, and then looked at Lei Boding with wet eyes, "Why don't you go find the patriarch yourself, I'll wait for you here."

"Why?" Lei Boting didn't understand Derby's reaction, "This is a matter between the two of us, we should go together."

Derby looked at Lei Boding, who had a natural expression on his face, and felt a little embarrassed. It took a long time before he said, "I, I get nervous when I see the patriarch."

Derby's wrinkled eyes and nose deeply showed how much he was afraid of the majestic patriarch, just like a student thinking of the director of the teaching office.

Lei Boting was amused by Derby's frowning expression, turned around and reached out to wipe Derby's wrinkled facial features back to their original positions, and coaxed, "The other mermaid quasi-mates all went to the patriarch to inform the ceremony It's time. This is a happy event, and the patriarch will definitely not be as serious as usual, really."

"Did the other mermaids really go together?" Derby was obviously moved by Lei Boding's words, and raised his head to ask.

Lei Boding shook Derby's hand and nodded, "Of course."

Derby thought about it for a while, then nodded vigorously, "Okay then, I'll go with you."

Lei Boting looked at Derby with a heroic expression, and his intestines were almost knotted with a smile, but he still had a very upright expression on his face, "Okay, let's go."

This time Derby took the initiative to hold Lei Boding's hand and swam forward with his head held high, while Lei Boding, who was pulled by the Derby Warriors, followed with a very strange expression because he was holding back a smile.

"Ten days later?" The patriarch asked, looking at Lei Boding standing in front of him and Derby who was shrinking behind him with a nervous expression.

Lei Boding squeezed Derby's hand reassuringly at an angle that the patriarch could not see, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, Derby and I have decided to hold the ceremony ten days later."

Derby looked at the patriarch whose expression was softer than usual, but also mustered up the courage to say, "Lei Boding and I hope you can come to preside over our ceremony."

Looking at Derby who shrank behind Lei Boding after speaking, Chas showed a smile, "Of course, I will definitely go to host the ceremony for you. I am honored to be invited by you."

Chas' rare smile eased Derby's nervousness, and he smiled shyly, "It's an honor for me and Leibertyn that you can agree."

Chas looked at the happy smile on the face of the cowardly little mermaid who had always lived alone in front of others, and then looked at Lei Boding beside him who was looking at Derby with eyes full of love, feeling relieved in his heart.

After leaving Chase's house, Derby's mood was much higher than before, he pulled Lei Boding and said happily, "Wow, I was so nervous just now, I didn't expect that the patriarch is not as serious as I thought. "

Lei Boting looked at Derby, who was swimming like a child with his tail wagging, and smiled indulgently, "Of course, it's too late for the patriarch to be happy to see that we young people have found our own happiness. How can you be serious?"

Some Derby, who had recovered from the shy mood that Lei Boding had just proposed, jumped into the excited mood again. He nodded with a smile and asked Lei Boding, "If I move there, I have to go to your house to tidy up in advance. Shall we take a moment?"

Lei Boding smiled and hugged Derby's shoulders and swam forward, "It's not my house, it's our house. I'll go and move your things over here. Just come here when the time comes."

Derby tilted his head and said, "Don't you need me to help?"

Lei Boting shook his head, "I'm almost done tidying up. Didn't I say that I was tidying up the house a while ago, and now it's all done." Said Lei Boting with a mysterious smile, "I'll give you a surprise then ah!"

"Surprise?" Derby's eyes lit up.

"Yes, surprise." Looking at Derby's curious puppy-like expression, Lei Boding couldn't help reaching out and pinching his nose, "You will know when the time comes."

Derby showed a look of longing, "Wow...I really look forward to it."

Lei Boding smiled and said nothing, with a confident expression.

Sending Derby back to his own home, Lei Boding stayed for a while before leaving.

Derby, who was alone again, stood blankly in the middle of the room for a long time before he raised his hand to look at the sea blue transparent ring on his ring finger that was the same color as his own eyes, took a long breath and let it out, and whispered, "Dad, Daddy, I also want to have my own complete family."

After finishing speaking, Derby showed a shallow but hard-to-conceal happy smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly red.
