The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"When you get there, you must pay attention to your own behavior. Don't let others think that the mermaids in our tribe are very rude..." When he was about to arrive at the other tribe, Chas began to tell his tribe members to pay attention, but at this time most of them The mermaids who have never traveled far are not in the mood to listen to Chas's nagging at all. The expressions on everyone's faces are joyful and excited. Faced with such a reaction, Chas is a little helpless and somewhat expected, so, Lei Boding, who still paid attention to his speech, received his appreciative look.

"Oh, my old friend, I haven't seen you for a while." When everyone was about to swim to their destination, the patriarch Liam who was waiting there greeted him, and greeted Chas with a big smile.

Chas also had a rare smile on his face, "Hey, old man, I'm going to bother you this time."

"What are you talking about?" Liam glanced at the young mermaids behind Chas, and joked, "I would like to thank you for bringing so many outstanding young men from your clan!"

Chas, who understood the meaning of Liam's words, also smiled, "Let's be each other."

After speaking, Liam and Chas patted each other on the shoulder and laughed, which shocked the young mermaids who had never seen Chas's hearty laughter.

After the two patriarchs finished talking, the enthusiastic Liam waved at Lei Boding and the group of mermaids, "Hey, boys, come with me." After speaking, he patted Chas on the shoulder, "And you , old man, Gary and Patrick are waiting for you in my tribe."

Chas nodded and gestured to the back, "Let's go, don't be too reckless."

"Hey, young man, you're always curious about everything." Obviously, Liam felt that Chas's requirements were too strict.

Chas smiled, and said nothing more.

But the minds of the young mermaids have long drifted to this strange tribe.

Liam took Chas to meet the patriarchs of the other two tribes who had arrived earlier, and this group of young mermaids were taken by the young mermaids of the Liam tribe to the place where they stayed temporarily—the people who came to receive them There are male and female young mermaids, Lei Boting looked at it and chuckled in his heart, the purpose of this patriarch is really undisguised.

After settling down, everyone gathered in the center of the square to attend the welcome party. Delicious fish had been prepared there, and even to Lei Boding's surprise, there was actually mellow wine here. I really don't know how they were brewed.

The next day, according to the established plan, the patriarchs got together for a meeting, while the young mermaids were free to move around, exchanging the things they brought from the tribe with each other like going to a market. Of course, for the convenience of the exchange, everyone agreed to use a Planting colored shellfish as a currency for exchange—it’s just for fun anyway, no one wants to make any money from it, and solving lifelong events is the fundamental purpose of everyone.

Lei Boding also brought some sweets and pastries, but before he set up a stall, he went around and bought some interesting gadgets for Derby that were not common in the tribe.

"You, is this a specialty of your tribe?" Lei Boding placed the things brought by Raffle and Ivor, and a mermaid swam over and asked with interest.

Lei Boding looked up and found a handsome young female fish, smiled, "No, it's food on land." He said and handed a piece of candy, "If you are interested, you can try it."

The young female mermaid didn't hold back, she pursed her lips and smiled, took the candy and put it in her mouth, then widened her eyes and made a surprise expression, "Wow, it tastes good. Only those people on land can make it It’s such a sweet food.” The mermaid smiled, “But to be honest, I’m a little surprised that your tribe can get things from the land.”

Lei Boding raised his eyebrows, expressing his incomprehension.

The female mermaid shrugged, "Because your tribe is famous for being cautious about things and people on land." She said and waved her hand, "This is just an external view, and I don't have any opinions."

"Ah... Occasionally, I feel that it's not good to stand still, so I also want to see the outside world." Lei Boding didn't care, smiled, and sent some candies to the other party, "I'm not Have you taken the first step, I hope everyone will stop thinking about us in the future, I will give you candy."

"Uh...thank you." Lei Boting's reaction made the other party stunned for a moment. He looked down at the crystal candy in his hand, then raised his head and stretched out his free hand, "Nice to meet you, my name is Noel."

"Nice to meet you too, my name is Lei Boding." Lei Boting extended his hand and introduced himself, and then the two laughed in unison again.

Noel withdrew his hand and fiddled with the candy in his hand, "So, you have also made friends with humans on land?"

Lei Boding nodded, "Yes, these candies and pastries were made by my friends on land, and I took some to the bottom of the sea to share with my clansmen."

"Actually, this is the first time I've eaten this." Noel picked up a candy and shook it. "It tastes very good. Your friend's craftsmanship is really good."

"Thank you." Lei Boding said politely, "I will pass on your compliment to him, I think he will be very happy to hear it."

……

After the two chatted for a while, other mermaids were interested in what Lei Boding brought, so Noel greeted them and left.

When Lei Boding was free, Ivor bumped Lei Boting's shoulder, "Hey, buddy, it seems that you have been spotted."

"What are you talking about!" Lei Boding said indifferently as he sorted out the gadgets he bought for Derby.

"What are you talking about, it's that Noel, obviously he's interested in you!" Ivor retorted.

Lei Boting looked at Ai Fu a little bit unbearably, "Brother, I'm not a heartthrob, I haven't reached the level of being loved by everyone, okay? You are so boring."

"I'm bored?" Ivor flicked the ground with his tail lightly, kicked up a burst of sand, and then grabbed Ralph as a witness, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Ralph, that Noel saw your eyes It's bright, okay?"

Lei Boting stopped what he was doing and looked at Ralph, who shrugged his shoulders, "Well, even though I don't really want to be sure of Ivor's words, I have to admit that that Noel does seem to be interested in you. Not so ordinary."

Both of his best friends spoke so convincingly, Lei Boding was a little uncertain, "No way, I'm a married mermaid and I'd die, so who else can take a fancy to it?"

Ivor rolled his eyes, "He didn't know you were married."

Ralph nodded approvingly.

Reberdine felt a headache.

In the following days, as if to prove what Ivor said, Noel really appeared in front of Lei Boding every day, sometimes in exchange for some candy, and sometimes just swaying that dazzling fish tail. Talk to Rabden while he's at his side.

It has been so obvious that even a male mermaid like Lei Boding, who has felt that he has become a scandal insulator since marriage, has noticed something is wrong.Although Lei Boding was a player who lived among flowers in the human period, he was still firmly and absolutely loyal and unique to marriage.

So when Noel came to chat with him again, Lei Boding suddenly pointed to the bracelet in Noel's hand and said, "Your bracelet is so beautiful. Is this material unique to your tribe?"

Lei Boding's compliment made Noel very happy. He raised his white arm and handed it to Lei Boding, "Is it really good-looking?"

Lei Boding nodded with a smile without changing his face, "It's pretty, what are you made of?"

"This is Haipo Stone. It's really only available in our tribe. Many of our mermaids use this to make bracelets." Speaking of this, Noel looked at Lei Boding's with watery eyes, with a shy expression on his face. "If, if you like, I can make a bunch for you."

Lei Boding didn't seem to see Noel's shy eyes, and only slightly nodded at him, then turned his head and asked Avrafur, "Hey, you said that we should exchange some of these stones for Bibi and O'Brien." Zifiya and the others also make a string of bracelets like this?"

Just from that one glance, Ralph understood what Lei Boding was planning, "It's okay, I think since Fia and Bibi played together, their tastes have become more and more the same, even the style of the gauze weaves is different." Almost."

Ivor also chimed in, "Yes, yes, I think they should like this bracelet. Ozzy likes this tender color."

The three of them reached a consensus, and then Lei Boding smiled and looked aside at Noel, who was already looking a little bit wrong, "So, Mr. Noel, if you don't mind, can you tell us where we can exchange for Hyperstone?"

Noel didn't answer Lei Boding's question, bit the corner of his mouth, and asked hesitantly, "Bibi is..."

Lei Boting acted like a nervous madman at the moment, "Ah, Bibi is my partner. Originally, I wanted to bring him here to relax, but unfortunately the patriarch didn't agree. If he came, I think he would too. Like it here."

"Is that so..." Noel's complexion gradually darkened, and his smile became a little forced. After a while, he regained his energy and smiled and looked at Lei Boding, "If you like Haipo Stone, come I'll give you some some time, you don't need to change it specially, and it's not expensive. Well, I have something to do, so I'll go first, goodbye." After finishing speaking, regardless of the reaction of the three mermaids who stayed where they were, they turned and left .

"Hey, is it really okay for you to do this?" Ai Fu looked at Noel's sad back and bumped into Lei Boding and asked.

Lei Boding expressed calmly, "I think this is the best way," he said, and glanced at Ivor, "Do you still want me to compose some romantic love song with him? I am merciful to everything Merry mermaids are not interested!"

"That's true..." Ai Fu nodded after thinking about it, "It's better as it is, don't cause any messy trouble."

Lei Boding didn't answer Ivor's words, but said impatiently, "I want to go back, I've been out for a long time, Bibi should worry at home."

Ralph patted him on the shoulder, "Dude, bear with it for a while, according to our usual experience, we will stay here for at least a month."

"What?" Lei Boting was stunned, then he took a deep breath from his nose, and slapped the ground with his tail fin irritably, "I should have known that I shouldn't have come, I, a married male mermaid, came here to join in the fun ah!"

Seeing Lei Boding's crazy look, Ralph and Ivor looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Perhaps Lei Boding's resentment for going home was too strong. On the third day, patriarch Chas actually announced that he was going home, which surprised everyone.

No one dared to ask why Chas's bad face, so they started to pack their bags and prepare to go home, while the mermaids who had already met each other got together in pairs Saying goodbye, and made an agreement to communicate with each other.

After packing up, Chas didn't delay, and prepared to leave with everyone, while Liam took his clansmen to see them off, he swam up to Chas and patted him on the shoulder, "Old man, don't be too Don’t worry too much, maybe things are not so bad.”

Chas's expression was not as relaxed as before, "I know, but I will still be prepared, and you should also pay attention."

"Okay, I know." Liam nodded.

Chas didn't say any more, turned around and said to the young man behind him, "Let's go."

Everyone nodded, said goodbye to the new friends and started to set off.

At this time, Noel swam out from nowhere, came to Lei Boding and handed him a bag made of gauze, "These are perforated sea stones, you can pick your own when you go back." Wear your favorite colors together."

Everyone had already left, and Lei Boting didn't have time to say more. He just took the bag and nodded, "Thank you."

Noel looked at Lei Boding with full eyes, shook his head, "I wish you all the best."

Lei Boding smiled, turned and left.

Noel didn't wait for the mermaids to disappear from his sight, but turned and left alone, but he didn't swim far when he was stopped by a voice, "Noel!"

This voice made Noelton in the distance, slowly turned around and looked at the source of the voice with unbelievable eyes, his eyes were no longer gloomy, "Raybertine?"

Lei Boting quickly swam up to Noel, smiled a little embarrassedly, and put the shell in Noel's hand, "I can't just take your things, this is my return, I wish you happiness, goodbye."

There was not even time for Noel to speak, and Lei Boding simply turned around and left.

But even so, Noel's heart was still pounding. He looked down at the smooth shell in his hand, with a smile on his lips, and opened it with full expectation, but he was touching the shell. But his expression froze behind the object, and after a while, a crystal teardrop slipped down from the corner of his eye, and splashed on the ground, turning into a soft pearl—in addition to a few candies, there was also a string of sweets in the shell. Worn Haipo stone bracelet.
