does he love me that much

The next morning was no different from the past. When Chi Ning woke up, the seat next to him was already empty.He sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his fingers over the eyelids, bringing a rough pain.

He looked down and saw that there were bandages around his fingers, which Liang Xingye had put on for him before going to bed last night.He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and when he left the bedroom, he saw Liang Xingye standing by the dining table unpacking lunch boxes.

Hearing footsteps, Liang Xingye turned to look at him and told him to wash up and prepare for breakfast.

Chi Ning tidied himself up, took his water grass bag, and prepared to have his last breakfast with Liang Xingye.

As soon as he sat down, Liang Xingye pushed him a small black glass bottle. The body of the bottle was covered by wrapping paper, so it was impossible to see what was inside, and a straw was inserted on the top.

Chi Ning was curious: "What is this?"

"Blood enriching," Liang Xingye said, "Drink it."

Chi Ning took a sip, it was sweet and sour, like a drink.After drinking one bottle, Liang Xingye gave him another bottle. The drink tasted sweet, but after drinking it, his mouth felt astringent. He lost interest: "Liang Xingye."

"what happened?"

"I'm not a human being, so drinking it shouldn't...not replenish blood."

Liang Xingye didn't expect this, and handed the rice ball to Chi Ning: "Then don't drink, eat breakfast."

The rice balls were warm with a sweet aroma, and Chi Ning looked at Liang Xingye as he gnawed.Liang Xingye was sending a message to someone, and the notification sounded continuously.Chi Ning subconsciously felt that Xu Yan was on the other end of the phone, and was discussing with Liang Xingye about throwing him back into the sea. The alarm rang, and he was about to leave after putting down the rice ball.

Liang Xingye called him: "Chi Ning, take off your water plants, and I'll take you to a place."

Chi Ning protected the water plant bag: "I don't want to go."

Liang Xingye didn't seem to hear his refusal, picked up the car keys on the table: "Follow."

Chi Ning shook his head like a rattle: "I won't go."

Liang Xingye embraced him, took him downstairs, loaded him into the car, fastened his seat belt, and closed the car door.

Chi Ning was a little confused, seeing Liang Xingye bypassing the front of the car and getting into the car, he quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll find out later." Liang Xingye said.

Chi Ning's confusion gradually disappeared after Liang Xingye drove out of the community. He has a unique talent for direction.After landing from the sea for the first time, Liang Xingye sent him back, walking in the opposite direction.

Chi Ning doesn't mind wherever he goes as long as he doesn't go back to the sea.He breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the scenery through the car window.

The leather in Liang Xingye's car has been treated, so it hardly emits odor. In the small space, Chi Ning can only smell the smell of Liang Xingye's body. It is very faint, but has a strong sense of presence. He feels that his whole body is wrapped. Sitting on the seat, the eyelids gradually drooped.

After a long time, I heard Liang Xingye calling him in a trance: "Chi Ning, wake up."

Chi Ning opened his eyes, and in front of him was a beach, which was connected to the endless ocean.

the sea? !

The drowsiness was thrown away immediately, Chi Ning opened the car door, jumped onto the beach barefoot, and ran to the side of the road.He didn't like to wear shoes, so he took them off before going to bed, even wiped off his socks, and slept in the co-pilot.At this time, stepping on the sand, I couldn't help bending my toes, and then tiptoed to try to reduce the contact area.

He ran a few steps and was hugged by Liang Xingye.

"Why are you running?" Liang Xingye said.

Chi Ning clung to Liang Xingye's arms, struggling for a while, unable to move, anxious: "Liang Xingye, let me go."

"I won't send you back to the sea." Liang Xingye dragged him towards the sea, and stopped at the boundary line wet by the waves, "I brought you here because I found your home and wanted to give you an explanation."

Looking at the sparkling sea, Chi Ning was confused and puzzled: "But this is not my home."

"You don't have to lie." Liang Xingye said.From the perspective of the distribution area of ​​aquatic plants, except for the sea area where Chi Ning was sent back at the beginning, only related species exist here.

Chi Ning was even more confused: "I didn't lie."

Chi Ning's words were scattered in the salty sea breeze, Liang Xingye only thought his mouth was stiff, pointed at the blurred coastline in the distance, and asked him warmly: "Do you want to go back?"

Chi Ning shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Really don't want to?"

"Do not want to."

Liang Xingye watched him do not speak, Chi Ning lowered his eyes, and saw a little turtle the size of a palm lying on all fours in front of him, his limbs and head struggling in the air, so he went over to help him turn over.

The little turtle rubbed against Chi Ning's palm, then got into the soft sand.

The waves continued to roll and the water vapor was damp. Chi Ning stepped back a few steps and hit Liang Xingye, his head stuck under his chin, which fit perfectly.Just as Chi Ning was about to move away, he heard Liang Xingye say, "Chi Ning, do you just want to follow me?"

When Chi Ning turned around, his hair was blown up by the sea breeze, and the light blue-gray pupils seemed to be blown away and melted into the whole pupil.

He looked at Liang Xingye with wet elf eyes.

"Liang Xingye," Chi Ning said softly, "I have a lot of pearls, which can be exchanged for...a lot of money, and I will give it all to you. I don't understand many things, but...but I learn quickly, and I am easy to raise."

He said, "I'll just eat the ball."

"Is it okay to only eat rice balls every day?"

Chi Ning nodded vigorously: "Yes."

He grabbed Liang Xingye's clothes and slowly rolled them up in his palms: "Can you not send... take me back, I don't like the sea."

From Chi Ning secretly feeding him blood, to lying that this sea area is not his home, to eating only rice balls and not liking the sea, Liang Xingye finally realized something.

Imprinting effect on small animals.

For the first person he saw after going ashore, the dependence in Chi Ning's heart was irreversible and not easy to eliminate.

After a long while, Liang Xingye said, "Chi Ning, humans and mermaids are different species."

The wind at the seaside is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are whistling against the beach. Chi Ning's ears are full of the sound of crashing waves, and he can't hear it intermittently. He is at a loss: "What's wrong with the man and the mermaid?"

His eyes were so moist that Liang Xingye felt that he was about to cry, and he waited until the sea calmed down before saying, "It's nothing, you can stay by my side as long as you want, I won't send you back to the sea, unless you want to leave by yourself at that time .”

Chi Ning was overjoyed, and his eyes were bent: "Really?"

"Really," Liang Xingye walked to the side of the car, opened the door to let him get in, "but you are not allowed to feed me blood, I won't die, and my legs won't hurt."

"The most important point is absolutely not to let anyone know that your blood has special effects." Liang Xingye stared at Chi Ning with a serious expression, "Do you remember?"

Chi Ning agreed one by one, wiped his face happily, and closed the car door.

Chi Ning was sitting in the co-pilot, tiptoeing, a little afraid to step on it.The soles of his feet were full of sand, and when he moved a little, the sand would fall down.

Liang Xingye took a pack of tissues and asked him to wipe his feet. Chi Ning opened the car door, stretched out his feet, and folded his body to wipe them indiscriminately.

Liang Xingye rolled his eyes casually, while Chi Ning's insteps were stretched, and the soles of his feet were rubbed red.His feet are very white and small, and it seems that one hand can completely hold them.

Liang Xingye turned his head and tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

Chi Ning wiped his feet, folded the used tissue and put it in his pocket, closed the car door, moved to the side of the seat, his eyes were bright, and his tone was sincere: "Liang Xingye, thank you."

His life has not been going well. Since he was conscious, he has been an orphaned mermaid. If it wasn't for his brother's protection, there is a high probability that he would have died in the sea.

When he grew up, his brother went ashore again, and the other ethnic groups in the sea did not welcome him because of his fear of the sea, and felt that he had failed the life and the beautiful fish tail that the sea gave him.The same goes for the mermaids, and only Ah Qing has a close relationship with him.

Life on the island is not easy, and the deep sea is even more terrifying. He has experienced countless dangers, countless heart-pounding fears and loneliness.

Even the process of going ashore was full of ups and downs. The only smooth thing was meeting Liang Xingye, giving him a place to stay, helping him hide his identity as a mermaid, and letting someone take care of him.

Even with limited understanding of human society, Chi Ning knew that Liang Xingye provided him with a much higher quality of life than ordinary people.

He looked into Liang Xingye's eyes, full of sincerity: "Thank you for not throwing me back into the sea, and thank you for... taking me in from the beginning, if you leave me alone after landing, I will..."

"What will happen?"

Chi Ning whispered: "I will become the dirtiest... dirtiest little beggar on the side of the road."

Liang Xingye looked down at him, his gaze slipped from his messy hair to his beautiful eyes, and he said in a subtle way, "You don't have to thank me, I'm lucky enough to take you in. And even if I leave you alone, you won't become a little beggar, Lots of people would love to take you home."

"But you don't care about me." Chi Ning was grateful, and held Liang Xingye's finger, "You will be... ill in the future, tell me, I..."

Liang Xingye interrupted him: "Did you forget what I just said?"

"I haven't forgotten," Chi Ning repeated, "I'm not allowed to feed you blood again."

"But if you're sick, it'll be... hard."

"I'm never uncomfortable," Liang Xingye stared at his cheek with a rare serious expression, "Chi Ning, no matter what the situation, you have to put yourself first, do you hear me?"

"Yeah." Chi Ning fiddled with the seat belt, blinking his eyelashes slowly, looking a little dazed.

Liang Xingye was still worried, "Also, no matter who you are, you can't reveal that your blood has healing properties..."

Chi Ning: "I really know."

The car window was half open, and the seaside wind was blowing, making the car window whirring, and his hair was a mess, like a cloud dyed light maroon.Liang Xingye rubbed his hair with a smile.

"Okay, follow me back to the company."
