bride as a paranoid mermaid

"Now you should understand, just go outside the fish tank for a while, nothing will happen to you." Xia Shenlan stretched out her hands while speaking, "Give me your hand, I won't hurt you. "

I don't know if his current expression will look like a strange uncle who kidnaps and sells children, but he has tried to put on the most kind expression.

The mermaid looked at Xia Shenlan silently. After a while, he slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Xia Shenlan's.

Xia Shenlan smiled, and held the mermaid's hand instead, leading him to surface.

The mermaid is led to the edge of the tank.

Xia Shenlan supported the mermaid's waist, and the mermaid hugged his neck without any teacher.

With Xia Shenlan's efforts, the mermaid escaped from the fish tank little by little.

The long tail slid down from the edge of the fish tank, subconsciously hooking Xia Shenlan's leg.

Xia Shenlan was stepping back, her two legs were tangled up by the mermaid's tail, and one of her legs lost her balance and fell to the ground hard.

It's over, the little trust that was built up with great difficulty will not be smashed to pieces by this one, right?

Xia Shenlan didn't care that he was the one who was crushed and fell worse, and nervously stroked the wound on the mermaid's back, "How is it? Are you okay?"

The mermaid grabbed Xia Shenlan's hand with her backhand and pressed it back to the ground.

The light golden pupil color seems to be gradually deepening, and it seems to be just a natural phenomenon of immersion in the shadow.

Before Xia Shenlan had time to make a clear judgment, the mermaid buried himself in the side of his neck, and the ear fins flapped slightly, causing a tingling itch.

Is this emotion... shy?

Xia Shenlan suppressed the weird thoughts in her heart, and comforted softly: "I won't touch you anymore, let go. I will be more careful next time, so I won't fall to you again, don't worry, let me go, okay?" "

After finishing speaking, Xia Shenlan tried to twitch her wrist lightly, but she did not expect to pull it out very easily.

It's just that the mermaid still didn't want to look at him, and buried her face in the side of his neck.

Xia Shenlan could only hold the mermaid into the basin with difficulty in this posture.

As soon as it entered the water, the mermaid immediately pushed Xia Shenlan away and turned her back to him, revealing only two slightly trembling ear fins.

Xia Shenlan's hands were a little itchy, but she stopped this dangerous thought in time.

If you touch a mermaid without consent, half your head will be chopped off.

Color and sincerity are precious, and the price of life is even higher.

Xia Shenlan returned to the fish tank, pumped out the water without complaint, poured out the sand underneath, and cleaned the inside and outside of the fish tank again. The fish tank instantly looked brand new, as if it was newly bought.

Looking at the results in front of him, Xia Shenlan was very satisfied. After resting for a while, the phone rang suddenly. It was the wake-up ringtone for Jiang Chenxing that he had already familiarized by heart and specially set for Jiang Chenxing.

Xia Shenlan temporarily put down her work and went to the bedroom to wake Jiang Chenxing up.

"It's time, get up, get up and move around."

Jiang Chenxing didn't like to stay in bed very much all along, he was even a little obsessive-compulsive, and he woke up very regularly, so Xia Shenlan didn't need to worry about it.

Seeing that Jiang Chenxing had already sat up, Xia Shenlan went out to continue cleaning the fish tank.

He went out to scouring some new sand and put it under the fish tank, and then dug out the shell box that had been treasured for a long time, spread a layer of shells on the sand, and finally filled the fish tank with some fresh sea water.

The sea water just entered the fish tank looked a little turbid, Xia Shenlan turned on the oxygenator, and put all the small fish back. After a while, the water was clean.

Xia Shenlan finally came to the mermaid's side, "Okay, the fish tank has been cleaned up, and you can go back."

The mermaid took Xia Shenlan's hand obediently, his ear fins were no longer shaking, and he had obviously recovered from the accident of falling.

Everything was beautiful, until Jiang Chenxing's envious voice came: "Is Xiao Xia so familiar with the mermaid? I can even hug him."

The mermaid raised her head warily, and the tail wrapped around Xia Shenlan suddenly tightened.

Xia Shenlan's knees softened, and she almost didn't think she was kneeling. Fortunately, there was a wall beside her, which supported his dignity in front of Jiang Chenxing.

Seeing that Jiang Chenxing seemed to want to come over, Xia Shenlan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't come here yet, mermaids are not very used to your approaching, don't wait for him to be stimulated and cut off my head."

"He's so dangerous..."

"It's okay. After all, I saved him. As long as there are no accidents, he should not hurt me. But you may not know, so let's keep a little distance from him first."

"Oh..." Jiang Chenxing retreated a few steps in frustration, "Okay..."

Xia Shenlan carried the mermaid back into the fish tank, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chenxing was envious and asked eagerly, "When will I meet him?"

"He's only been here for two days, take your time." Xia Shenlan tidied up the things on the ground swiftly, seeing that Jiang Chenxing was still a little absent-minded, she suggested: "I'm going out to collect dried salted fish, do you want to go?"

"Go and go."

Jiang Chenxing agreed without hesitation, his first priority was to cherish every opportunity to go out.

Even the place where the fish is dried is behind the rocks behind the house.

Almost every household in the fishing village has some dried fish in the sun. Naturally, it is not considered a precious item, and if it is thrown under the sun, no one will steal it.

Xia Shenlan has always put the dried fish on the edge of the reef outside with confidence. The sun is bright and the wind is blocked, and the dried fish will be ready in a few days.

However, in this unfavorable summer, another Waterloo came as promised—more than a dozen catties of dried fish were bitten to a mess, and they were scattered all over the ground. Can't eat it.

Xia Shenlan felt shortness of breath for a moment, exhaled, and said solemnly: "I have to go to the city later."

"Huh?" Jiang Chenxing didn't react for a while, "Are you going to call the police?"

"Why call the police, this is not enough for the police to call the police once. I'm going to buy a pair of red underwear to avoid evil and transfer luck."

"When are you going? Take me with you."

"Wait for a while. I'll take advantage of the good weather recently to go out and look for clues about Grandpa. Otherwise..." Xia Shenlan paused for a moment, "It's the same if I buy directly online."

"Okay...can you tell what made the dried fish like this?"

"I don't know, I've never encountered such a thing before, and I can't see any way to do it, so I'm unlucky recently."

Xia Shenlan picked up all the dried fish on the ground, almost no one that hadn't been bitten, and felt angry again.

"If it wants to eat, it can take some, and I won't do anything, but this is obviously a waste of things. It doesn't eat much, and I can't eat the rest."

Jiang Chenxing reassured and suggested: "Why don't you change the place to dry? Isn't the balcony empty? It's the same to dry there."

"That's what I thought too, anyway, I definitely can't put it here anymore."

Originally, there were more than ten catties of dried fish, but in the end, the edible ones were less than two catties.

Xia Shenlan put all the dried fish that had been bitten into a bag, and planned to wash them and feed them to stray animals when she went to the market next time.

The sun has moved down, and the seaside is reflected in bright orange. It may be difficult for ordinary people to tell whether it is morning or evening.

Xia Shenlan cut and crushed the last sky-high priced strawberries in the refrigerator, mixed them in yogurt, and made two cups of simple strawberry yogurt.

"Jiang Chenxing, are you going to watch the sunset?"

"go."

In Jiang Chenxing's dictionary, the words "go" and "no" cannot be combined together.

The balcony is the best place to watch the sunset, facing the boundless sea without being exposed to the sun.

Holding the sweet and sour strawberry yogurt, the salty sea breeze seems to become more comfortable.

But Xia Shenlan still had to remind Jiang Chenxing in an unpleasant way: "Don't drink too much, it's very cold."

Jiang Chenxing raised the glass cup and poked it into the orange sunlight. The milky pink yogurt suddenly became a little more crystal clear and light. Half the glass is yours."

"If you don't mind giving me half a cup of yogurt, it will make you feel bad." Xia Shenlan clicked her tongue, swallowed half a cup of yogurt in one gulp, and held up the half-empty cup to Jiang Chenxing, "Give it to me now, I can't see it." You don't feel bad anymore."

Jiang Chenxing didn't pour the yogurt over, but suggested, "Let's change to a cup."

"That's fine." Xia Shenlan readily agreed, as long as Jiang Chenxing doesn't eat too much cold food, he doesn't care whether to change it or not.

After dealing with the yogurt issue, the two of them could finally watch the sea quietly for a while.

Looking at the distance, it seems that there will be a desire to talk or sigh naturally.

Jiang Chenxing suddenly broke the silence like this: "We haven't seen the sea together like this for a long time."

"It's not that long. The main reason is that Grandpa disappeared. I leave early and return late every day, so I don't have time to accompany you."

"Is it okay if you don't go out to sea today?"

"It's related, it's a big deal, he is the one who took me home and raised me up, I even want to jump into the sea, if I can't find him, I won't come back..."

Xia Shenlan just finished speaking halfway, Jiang Chenxing grabbed his hand nervously, his amber eyes were imprinted into orange glass beads, as if full of thousands of words, but he was about to say something.

"Pfft, don't worry, I won't do stupid things." Xia Shenlan touched Jiang Chenxing's hair, "Because you are still here, grandpa is very important to me, and you are equally important. You are the only one who supports me now." Be sure to return safely to the lighthouse."

"Then as long as you go out to sea, I will wait here to guide you, so that you don't come back."

"Then you should live longer, don't let me die young."

"I'm dead, will you die?"

"The only two people I care about in this world are Grandpa and you. It is very difficult for people to live alone in this world without any worries."

Xia Shenlan wondered, he said so, Jiang Chenxing had to promise him that he would live to be a hundred years old.

But he waited and waited, and Jiang Chenxing didn't speak any more. Finally, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Chenxing, only to find that Jiang Chenxing had been looking at him, not the sea.

"What are you doing looking at me all the time? Can't I have the sunset on my face?"

It was originally a joke, but Jiang Chenxing replied seriously: "You don't have it on your face, but you have it in your eyes."

"What do you think? It's better to see the real sea than the reflection in my eyes?"

"But you see me in your eyes, not in the sea."
