sister

That's what she called her.

Gong Yan is a mature sea monster in the sea, which can transform into various forms, and the little girl is a human cub living in a fishing village by the beach. Every day when the sun is about to set, the little girl will run to the shallows to pile sand , until it was dark at night, some fish in the sea came back, and she and other humans went back to the place where they lived.

This is what Gong Yan observed when hunting. She thinks that humans are very strange. Sometimes they swim in the belly of fish that she cannot eat, and sometimes they fall into the sea and will not swim to the bottom of the sea.

The little girl often came to the beach recently, and a few times she sat on the reef very early. Gong Yan didn't understand why she could make a nice sound with a dark thing that built a hole.But she likes it so much, she always listens closely, and also hums a few lines to accompany her.The little girl was so happy that Gong Yan was in a good mood.

One day, Gong Yanfu was resting at the shallow water beach, and the little girl ran over. She was a small one. She finally looked at the human cubs at the closest distance. She didn’t know how their human aesthetics were. The more she observed her, the happier she was. , she is so cute, and she is not afraid of herself at all.

Gong Yan remembered that it was an ordinary afternoon, the little girl's companions hadn't come back, they would only come back when the sun went down, and she was still sitting on the reef blowing the xun.Gong Yan swam lazily, her small fins touched her finned claws, at that moment Gong Yan suddenly wanted to take her away.

But rationality still pulled her back. She didn't know if she would be like other humans who sank to the bottom of the sea before, and her originally kind face became evil and disgusting after seeing her.She didn't want to take her away anymore, Gong Yan was about to leave when the little girl suddenly put her head on hers and climbed onto Gong Yan's body.

Slender arms and legs hugged Gong Yan, half of her body was submerged in sea water, and she straddled her silver fish tail, her teenage face was pressed against her smooth and slender back.

At that moment, Gong Yan had the illusion of being needed.

Gong Yan took her to swim on the sea surface without needing to take a breath.The little guy was having a great time playing, but she couldn't help feeling nervous, worried that she would fall into the sea from her body and become an unknown corpse in the ocean.But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if it really falls, she will push her to the surface of the sea.

The sea breeze in the evening is so comfortable. The little guy was sitting on her back and stroking her. She showed Gong Yan to look at the sun. Gong Yan followed her fingers and saw the round red sun half hidden in the gray clouds, full of brilliance. Clarity is the last warmth before the curtain of night falls, and the sky is dyed light red and then purple.The stars on the shallow water beach gradually emerged from the sea and hung there.

Her companions came back, and the little guy fell asleep at some point. She must be tired. When they went out to sea together, the little human sang a song for a long time, which seemed to be specially sung for her.

Gong Yan put her on the largest reef closest to the beach, where the tide would not touch her. Gong Yan swam far away with his back turned. The group of humans came back with the fish they had beaten back and brought her with them. back.The fish in human hands were strung together on straw poles, and Gong Yan looked back, as if there were some stars hanging on those fish, but the night was probably too dark for her to see clearly.

On Christmas Day, it snowed heavily, and the goose feather-like snow covered the roof with a thick layer of snow.

The fireplace in the house was burning, sending out heat continuously. There was an oval-shaped blanket on the floor. Simple and honest big cat pattern, mother's hand has always been dexterous.

There is a small room on the top of the pavilion, and the window can be opened to see the sea view in the distance. It is winter, and there are few fish on the seashore. Even the father who has always been diligent in fishing rarely stays idle at home. read newspaper.

At most, when his mother called him, he would take his tools and go to the frozen lake in the back mountain to catch some fish and come back.

People of the same age in the village began to write their wishes on the slips of paper, then put them in socks, and lay in bed waiting for Santa Claus to give them gifts.

The 13-year-old Hua Manyi didn't write anything this year, she just put the xun she was wearing into her socks and went to bed.

The next day, before Hua Manyi went out, her little friends came to her to have a snowball fight and play hide-and-seek. Hua Manyi happily went out to play with them, and chatted about Christmas gifts. The more they chatted, the more excited they were. Swear that there really is a Santa Claus, because the next day they put their wishes in their socks.

In sharp contrast to the cheerful little friends, Hua Manyi looked at their unstoppable smiles and suddenly felt a little sad. She didn't have any Christmas presents. Not only did she not have any, the xun she put on last night was also gone.

When she woke up this morning, she was about to die of sadness. It was what she was talking to that sister. If it was gone, would the sister stop playing with her?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. Hua Manyi ran to the beach, trying to find a similar Xun, but after searching all afternoon, the sky began to snow again, and the sea was surging with sea water. Hua Manyi was dejected and ready to go back. When she saw a large rock by the beach, she seemed to see a figure if she read it correctly.

She approached timidly, and when she could see clearly, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, "You..."

In front of you is a petite mermaid!

Different from the siren in the book that can sing to confuse people, this one is a little mermaid cub with silver tail fins swaying in the sea.

Soft, wet black hair hangs down behind her, lazy eyes staring at her for a moment, with a sense of maturity that doesn't match her appearance.

Hua Manyi didn't think it was weird, rolled up her trousers, the water in the sea was warm, and walked to her side cautiously, "Are you stranded?"

The little mermaid looked at her with her eyes open, as if she didn't quite understand what Hua Manyi said.

Hua Manyi picked her up from the reef gently, and she was shorter than her, feeling like a little sister, Hua Manyi thought to herself, but she just thought about it, then went around the reef and walked a little deeper to the sea , put the little mermaid into the sea, "Okay, you go home quickly."

In the end, seeing that she wouldn't leave, Hua Manyi bent down and picked up a handful of water and poured it on her body, who knew that it splashed on the face of the little mermaid, and the other party fiercely splashed water on her body as well.

Hua Manyi blocked it with her hand and started to play water fight with her.

As the sun was approaching, Hua Manyi felt that she couldn't continue playing, so she stopped, looked at the little mermaid sister, and felt a little reluctant, "I have to go back, and you have to go back too."

After saying goodbye, Hua Manyi turned around not to look at her, and walked towards the beach step by step. Suddenly, someone threw something at her feet. When she saw what it was, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her. , stepping on the fine sand, and even because of running fast, some of the sand was kicked up and splashed on Hua Manyi's heels.

He was hugged tightly behind him.

Hua Manyi was stunned, and when she turned around, she found that the little mermaid's sister's silver tail fin had turned into a pair of feet.

She picked up the Xun at her feet, looked at it carefully for a while, and was startled, isn't this the Xun she put in her socks last night?

Hua Manyi put her eyes on the little sister on her chest, and asked Chi, "Are you a gift from Santa Claus?"

The little mermaid sister tilted her head and looked at her in a daze, still not understanding, she just plunged into Hua Manyi's arms and rubbed her hard.

Hua Manyi pondered for a while, took off her coat, wrapped it around the little mermaid sister, and held her hand, "I'll take you back."

After walking two steps, she realized that the Little Mermaid couldn't walk. Hua Manyi came to her senses, put her hands on her waist, picked her up with all her strength and walked home.

It began to snow again, falling on the branches.

In the house, mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen, father fell asleep in the living room, newspaper covered his face, Hua Manyi quickly ran up to the second floor with her in his arms, let her sit by the bed, and went downstairs to bring a pot Hot water and a towel.

I wiped the little mermaid's body, washed her hair, and finally dried it. At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and the mother downstairs called her by her nickname, "Yiyi."

Hua Manyi responded, then turned around and told the Little Mermaid, "Stay here obediently, I'll go down and have a meal, and I'll bring you a bowl of rice later."

The little mermaid seemed to understand and nodded.

***

At the dinner table, the girl's mother was chatting with her father about trivial matters, and Hua Manyi thought about the little mermaid sister in the house and how to arrange her, and even thought about whether she would be sad if the other party wanted to go back to the sea.

After eating, Hua Manyi quietly brought a bowl of rice and vegetables upstairs, put them on the desk, and fed the Little Mermaid sister one bite at a time. Miraculously, she ate very deliciously, and she didn't seem to be acclimatized at all.

If she hadn't seen her with a caudal fin, Hua Manyi would have thought it was a lost child from some family.

After a few mouthfuls of feeding, the little mermaid sister grabbed the spoon, and she scooped up the food by herself. She learned it well, Hua Manyi opened her mouth wide, then bent her eyes and praised her for being amazing.

After eating, Hua Manyi secretly washed the dishes and put them back in place. She went back to the attic to help the little mermaid sister dry her hair, and took out a set of pajamas from the closet for her to wear.

The two slept on the same bed. During this period, Hua Manyi found that the little mermaid's sister was very good at learning, so she tried to make her call her sister.

But the other party refused to call her life and death, Hua Manyi was about to get discouraged, but who knew that the other party called out her nickname - Yiyi.

Hua Manyi's face was full of surprises, and she was happier than her. She held her face and kissed her, "Sister!"

As soon as this was said, the little mermaid in front of her stopped calling her Yiyi immediately. Hua Manyi thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly coaxed her, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Hua Manyi was puzzled, but couldn't get an answer, and then figured it out, "Don't you want me to call you sister?"

The Little Mermaid ignored her and sat aside.

Hua Manyi called tentatively, "Sister?"

Sure enough, the little mermaid took a look at her, Hua Manyi yelled again, the little mermaid finally looked her in the face, Hua Manyi was so cute by her reaction, hugged her tightly, and called "sister" several times.

Who knew that the cry caught the attention of the mother downstairs, and the mother called her what she was calling, so Hua Manyi hurriedly covered her mouth and replied, "I'm reading a text, Mom!"

There was no sound downstairs, and Hua Manyi was relieved, and began to teach the little mermaid to know other things in a decent way.

After one night, the little mermaid sister learned a lot, and she knew how to read the basic things in the room.

After a week, Huaman relied on her well-behaved personality to win the trust of her parents. Every time she ate a meal, she brought a bowl upstairs to the little mermaid sister. During this week, the little mermaid sister spoke very human-like. , Such a small room still annoys my sister, she wants to go out to play.

Hua Manyi had no choice but to take her out to play, play snowball fights and make snowmen when her parents were not paying attention.

What I didn't expect was that when I got home, my mother discovered the existence of the little mermaid sister.

"What a beautiful little girl!" The mother said the first sentence, and the second sentence began to realize something was wrong, "Who is she?"

Hua Manyi pulled her behind to protect her, bravely looked into her mother's eyes, "I picked her up from the sea."

She didn't say anything about her being a mermaid.

All the endings about mermaids she had read in books were all tragedies, she didn't like this, and she would not allow such things to happen to the little mermaid sister.

My father rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw the Little Mermaid, he also had a look of disbelief.

The family sat in the living room, Hua Manyi's parents sat on the side, Hua Manyi sat with the little mermaid sister, she hugged her, and even comforted her not to be afraid, there was a younger sister.

However, there was no expression of fear on the little mermaid's face at all, but upon hearing this sentence, she hummed and threw herself into Hua Manyi's arms.

The parents on the opposite side saw this scene and fell into deep thought.

The mother secretly pushed her husband, "Why don't we adopt this child, anyway, aren't we going to give our daughter a brother or sister?"

But just last month, they went to the hospital for an examination and found that the mother could no longer bear children. This matter has been kept in their hearts. No one said it, but it was a pain in their hearts.

People of the same age in the village have younger brothers and sisters or older brothers and sisters, and their daughter is alone. Now that there is an extra sister, it may not be a bad thing.

Father thought for a long time, then nodded, and now the whole family is happy.

Since then, the Little Mermaid has lived as her younger sister, and Hua Manyi no longer needs to be timid to take her out to play, but to take her out to play with her friends in the village openly.But in private, Hua Manyi still had to call her sister, because if she didn't call, the other party would show her face.

When they came back at night, the two took a shower and slept together. The mother also smiled when she saw the two sisters getting along happily.

When they were older, the two went to school together in the town to see a wider world.

Not long after Hua Manyi became an adult, her parents passed away one after another. Before she passed away, her mother told Hua Manyi to take care of her younger sister and live a good life.

Hua Manyi was sad in her heart, and hugged the Little Mermaid tightly. The two of them hugged each other for several days, and then they gradually walked out of the sadness under mutual comfort.

Days passed, and when she reached the age of marriage, Hua Manyi was secretly sulking when she saw that her older and more attractive sister was surrounded by suitors, but thinking that they were sisters, she could only silently bless them.

It wasn't until one day that Hua Manyi accidentally saw her mermaid sister taunting one of her Hua Manyi's suitors with a cold face, that she suddenly realized that she wasn't the only one doing this.

Hua Manyi secretly rejoiced, and secretly chased away her sister's suitor behind her back.

They still live together and sleep in the same bed.

Then one day, the bed was a little messed up.

For countless days afterwards, that bed would be messed up every morning.

No one knows their secrets.

Because Santa's gifts never disappoint.
