Dressed as a fake young master, I tear up the script
Chapter 126 Doctor Rong...who is it?
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!!"
"Finally woke up..."
Xia Xingqiao's eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes.
After seeing clearly the anxious face of the person in front of her, Xia Xingqiao gave a soothing smile and moved her lips slightly.
"mom......"
I saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman sitting in front of the hospital bed.
Although she was thin, haggard, and sickly, it could be seen that the woman had a good appearance when she was young.
Hearing Xia Xingqiao's hoarse voice, she agreed, and patted her chest with her hands, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Finally woke up," she wiped away her tears, and held Xia Xingqiao's hand, "You child, you scared me to death!"
Seeing Xia's mother's tears, Xia Xingqiao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and slightly squeezed back to hold Xia's mother's hand, "I made you worry, I am..."
Xia Xingqiao looked around and couldn't help frowning.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be in a car accident?
"Car accident?" Mother Xia stopped wiping the corners of her eyes, and immediately glared at Xia Xingqiao with red eyes, and reprimanded him softly, "Why are you talking such unlucky words?"
Xia Xingqiao: "...?"
At this time, other people in the ward also gathered around.
Xia Xingqiao looked at these familiar faces, wasn't it his mother's many patients?
Enthusiastic grandpa and aunt surrounded Xia Xingqiao, talking to each other——
"Finally woke up, but it frightened your mother."
"Young people don't work too hard, health is the capital."
"Yeah, it's such a hot day, what a crime at such a young age!"
"Xiao Xia, is there any discomfort in your body?"
Xia Xingqiao obediently shook her head towards them, and said with a smile, "I'm not uncomfortable anymore."
From what they said, Xia Xingqiao learned that he had passed out due to heat stroke during his part-time job at noon today, and was sent to the hospital.
It's just heatstroke. Why did he subconsciously feel that he had a car accident just now?
But Xia Xingqiao really didn't feel any discomfort...
Xia Xingqiao blinked her eyes, and didn't take this doubt to heart.
...he remembered.
It's because the school is about to start, and the living expenses of the younger brothers and sisters have not been collected enough.
So Xia Xingqiao found a part-time job to distribute leaflets in the university town during the lunch break.
As a result, the sun was a bit poisonous today, and Xia Xingqiao suffered from heatstroke within a short while on the road without shelter.
"If you don't have enough money, let mom figure out a way." Mother Xia pinned Xia Xingqiao's long hair behind his ears, "Don't take that part-time job anymore, okay?"
Looking at her eldest son, Mother Xia felt as if a sharp arrow had pierced her heart, bleeding continuously.
Her child is so outstanding, but also so sensible, and he has already shouldered the heavy responsibility of the whole family with his immature shoulders.
Xia Xingqiao felt Mother Xia's hand as rough as sandpaper, and he knew that there was a thick layer of calluses on it.
Being watched by Xia's mother with such sad eyes, Xia Xingqiao had no choice but to nod.
When Xia Xingqiao came out of the hospital, he couldn't help but sigh.
If you have money, think of another way...
Xia Xingqiao took out the elderly phone she had been using for a while from her pocket, and planned to tell the store manager about quitting the part-time job.
But after Xia Xingqiao pressed a few times on the keyboard, the phone did not respond, and the small screen was still black.
Xia Xingqiao: "... out of battery?"
Forget it, he'd better go to the store and talk to the store manager face to face.
Xia Xingqiao planned the route. If he went from the hospital to the university city, he had to bypass an intersection that he didn't often walk before.
For some reason, Xia Xingqiao hadn't walked there yet, but when he saw the intersection from a distance, he suddenly felt a palpitation.
Xia Xingqiao paused, and subconsciously put her hand on her heart.
Could it be that he has been too tired lately, and is there something wrong with his body?
Xia Xingqiao shook her head, seeing that the green light had more than ten seconds left, enough to walk across the road by herself.
So he speeded up and walked towards the opposite side.
When Xia Xingqiao walked across the road, the green light here just turned into a red light.
A somewhat exaggerated sports car roared past behind Xia Xingqiao.
The people in the car put their arms on the window and whistled with great interest.
Xia Xingqiao didn't look back.
But if he turned around, Xia Xingqiao probably wouldn't be able to recognize it—this sports car was the "culprit" who knocked him out of the car in his previous life.
This time they passed each other.
Xia Xingqiao finally made it to the university town.
The manager of the milk tea shop who provided him with a part-time job was a young girl who looked only in her 20s.
"Xiao Xia, are you feeling better?" The store manager was pleasantly surprised when he saw Xia Xingqiao came back, "Why don't you take a longer rest."
Xia Xingqiao smiled at the store manager, "It's much better, thank you sister for your concern."
During these days of part-time work, the store manager has been taking good care of Xia Xingqiao.
When Xia Xingqiao said with some embarrassment that he was going to resign from the part-time job, the store manager readily agreed and settled Xia Xingqiao's salary for the past few days.
After Xia Xingqiao took it, she found that the store manager gave more than what was promised.
His face was reddish, "Sister, did you miscalculate, why are there too many..."
The store manager waved his hands, "It's not too much, there is a commission for you."
Xia Xingqiao: "...a commission?" I didn't say there was any commission before.
The store manager put his hands on his chin, looked at Xia Xingqiao with a smile, and said, "Didn't you find that the milk tea in our store has sold better since you came to work part-time?"
While talking, her eyes drifted towards the girls sitting in the store intentionally or unintentionally.
The store manager didn't deliberately control his volume, and the faces of the girls closest to here turned slightly red.
They lowered their heads and sipped their milk tea vigorously, feeling guilty that their thoughts had been seen through.
And Xia Xingqiao obviously failed to understand what the store manager meant, and blinked dully.
The store manager's gaze returned to Xia Xingqiao's face.
Looking at the innocent and handsome young man in front of him, the store manager couldn't help but sigh regretfully in his heart. If he was five or six years younger, he would probably fall in love with Xia Xingqiao.
Still, it's okay to gossip.
The store manager suddenly approached Xia Xingqiao, lowered his voice and asked him, "Hey, Xiao Xia, are you single now?"
Looking at Xia Xingqiao like this, it doesn't look like he will have a girlfriend.
"...Huh?" Xia Xingqiao didn't expect the store manager to ask herself such a question, and was stunned.
Every day when he opens his eyes, he thinks about how to earn more money to supplement his family, so that his family can live a better life. How can he think about this aspect...
Under the store manager's scorching gaze, Xia Xingqiao felt her cheeks burning slightly.
Xia Xingqiao wanted to nod, but for some reason, he felt that his neck seemed to be rusted, stuck there, and he couldn't nod his head for a long time.
Maybe Xia Xingqiao's expression was too unnatural, or maybe he was silent for too long, the store manager widened his eyes and said in surprise, "So you're not single?"
......
Xia Xingqiao carried the mung bean soup that the store manager gave him at the end, lowered his head and walked quickly towards home.
He actually lied!
Xia Xingqiao really couldn't figure it out, why did she have to lie and say that she was not single when the store manager asked her?
God, what the hell was he thinking...
As a result, the store manager became even more excited after hearing that Xia Xingqiao was not single, and kept pulling Xia Xingqiao to gossip about his girlfriend.
But Xia Xingqiao doesn't have any "girlfriend"!
Xia Xingqiao wanted to cry, but finally realized the truth of "a lie needs to be covered with countless lies".
"You two are still siblings?" The store manager exclaimed, good guy, I can't tell!
Xia Xingqiao bit the bullet and nodded, "Well, [she] is older than me, and has already worked..."
"Amazing," the store manager gave a thumbs up, "cough, what kind of job does she do?"
Xia Xingqiao: "..."
Xia Xingqiao desperately searched for the answer in his mind, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that he had just come out of the hospital, so he said vaguely:
"Yes, working in a hospital..."
"It's a doctor!" The store manager wowed, and his gossip was finally satisfied.
Xia Xingqiao inserted the straw into the mung bean soup that the store manager had packed for him, and took a big gulp.
Trying to let the cold mung bean soup take away the heat from his face.
...I just hope that the store manager won't continue to gossip about his non-existent "girlfriend"!
When Xia Xingqiao returned home, he saw two small figures lying on the dilapidated sofa.
The expression on Xia Xingqiao's face softened. He walked over and patted the heads of his younger brothers and sisters one by one.
"What book are you reading?" Xia Xingqiao sat down beside them.
The little girl raised her head to see Xia Xingqiao, she showed a bright smile, and called big brother sweetly.
"Second brother is telling me the story of Pinocchio, brother, have you heard it?"
Xia Xingqiao was taken aback for a moment.
"Pinocchio's nose gets longer when he tells a lie, it's so scary!" The little girl covered her nose with her hand, as if she was afraid that it would suddenly grow longer, "I will never lie in the future, I will be honest Good boy!"
Xia Xingqiao: "......"
Fortunately, Xia Xingqiao's nose didn't get longer.
This day, he came to the hospital to deliver meals to Xia Mu before noon as usual.
When she walked outside the ward and was about to open the door to enter, Xia Xingqiao heard voices talking inside.
Xia Xingqiao stopped, and he looked in through the glass window on the door.
I saw several medical staff in white coats standing in front of Xia's mother's hospital bed with their backs to Xia Xingqiao, as if they were asking something.
The doctor in the middle looked like a tall man.
But he had long hair, pulled back.
For some reason, seeing this person's back, Xia Xingqiao's heartbeat suddenly became frantic, and her eye sockets began to feel hot for no reason.
Who is this...
Spoiler 【Calvin!No need to subscribe]
"In the depths of the sea far, far away, the water is as blue as the most beautiful cornflower, and as clear as crystal. It is very, very deep, too deep to measure its depth with a hawse... "
Sea Turtle saw that the little mermaid in front of him lacked interest and looked obviously absent-minded, so he couldn't help asking patiently, "What's the matter, Jojo?"
The little mermaid lay on a smooth boulder, and flicked her tail a little bored upon hearing this.
His fish tail is the most special silvery white, even in the sea water, it seems to reflect light slightly.
His eyes are the color closest to sea water, clear and mysterious.
Undoubtedly, he is the most beautiful mermaid under the sea, the darling of the sea, and the masterpiece of the creator.
Xia Xingqiao propped her chin with both hands, and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction when she heard the familiar opening remark: "Grandpa Sea Turtle, you are going to tell this story again, and you have told me [-] times!"
His facial features are exquisite, even if he makes such an expression of disgust, it will only make people feel coquettish and cute.
The little mermaid blinked and asked innocently: "Is this the only story you can tell?"
Sea Turtle: "...Nonsense, how can there be [-] times."
"I can memorize this story verbatim!" Xia Xingqiao cleared her throat, then deliberately lowered her voice, imitating the tone of a sea turtle and continued:
"It's so deep there that you can't measure its depth with anchor chains. Even if you put many, many church steeples one on top of the other, you can't reach from the bottom of the sea below to the surface of the sea above. The king of the sea and his subjects lived In that place..."
Turtle: "..."
Well, it's literally true.
The turtle coughed in embarrassment, and looked at the little mermaid in front of him.
Xia Xingqiao was lying on the boulder, his eyes curled up in laughter, and his already beautiful facial features suddenly became more lively and beautiful.
Seeing that the little mermaid has grown up gradually over the past few years, Hai Turtle felt even more worried besides the relief that the child has finally grown up.
I have lived for so many years, no matter on the shore or under the sea, I have naturally seen many people and things of all kinds, and I know what kind of unnecessary trouble Xia Xingqiao's appearance may cause him.
Thinking of this, Hai Turtle couldn't help but said earnestly: "Then do you know why I told you this story?"
The little mermaid is very lively, she is not just sitting there listening to teachings, she is wagging her tail back and forth admiringly.
Hearing Hai Turtle ask him this, Xia Xingqiao shrugged his shoulders: "I know."
Turtle: "...Really?"
Why does he not believe it?
"Really!" the little mermaid assured, patting her chest, "Grandpa Turtle, don't worry, I won't be the same as the mermaid in the story."
The turtle snorted, "Then trust you for now."
Xia Xingqiao was tired, so she changed her position.
He was bored playing with the aquatic plants beside him.
The turtle was still telling him tirelessly: "Anyway, it's really dangerous on the shore, and those human beings, you must stay away when you see them, do you understand?"
Xia Xingqiao said yes, but in fact, the left ear went in and the right ear came out, and she didn't take the turtle's words to heart at all.
But he was thinking in his heart: Grandpa Turtle is so stupid, doesn't he know that if he wants to go to shore, he doesn't need to go to the witch to drink that terrible potion?
In fact, Xia Xingqiao only suddenly discovered some time ago that he could actually control the fish's tail to become that kind of "leg" like a human.
How many times has he sneaked ashore...
And those humans who looked very similar to him didn't look as scary as Grandpa Turtle said.
The sea turtle who has been insisting on instilling in Xia Xingqiao the views that "it's dangerous on the shore" and "human beings are terrible" doesn't know that there is another word called "bottoming out".
His various obstructions made Xia Xingqiao's curiosity even more vigorous.
So when Xia Xingqiao, who was playing nearby, raised his head when there was a splash on the surface of the sea, he saw a human teenager struggling in the water.
Seeing that his struggling movements became smaller and smaller, he finally closed his eyes and slowly sank toward the bottom of the sea.
Xia Xingqiao just hesitated for a moment, then swam over with her tail wagging.
He supported the boy's sinking body, and then pushed the boy back to the surface of the sea.
Xia Xingqiao also got out of the sea together.
It was night at this time, and the clear brilliance of the moonlight sprinkled on the sea surface, and it seemed to be broken into countless starlights with Xia Xingqiao's movements.
The stars are not in the sky, but on the sea.
Xia Xingqiao looked around with a stiff expression on her face.
He was holding the boy's body in both hands and floating on the sea. It stands to reason that Xia Xingqiao's next step should be as in the story, to save the boy to the shore.
But Xia Xingqiao looked around, they were floating in the vast sea.
...Where is the shore?
Is he going to hold this person and swim all the way to the shore?
Xia Xingqiao pursed his lower lip. He began to suspect that Grandpa Sea Turtle had been fooling himself with that story.
How did Ariel in the story save a big man from the bottom of the sea to the shore!
Xia Xingqiao looked at the unconscious young man with his head down, and even thought if he threw this man back into the sea again...
The little mermaid shook her head hastily, to get this thought out of her head.
......Forget it.
Xia Xingqiao swung her tail resignedly, and swam towards the nearest coast.
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, a light lit up on the sea surface not far away.
It's a boat!
And the lights are getting brighter and brighter, and the boat is obviously approaching this way.
Xia Xingqiao waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly, "Here, here!"
The search and rescue boat heard Xia Xingqiao's voice and sped over.
There were only two people on the boat, and the standing man stretched out his hand and dragged the unconscious boy over.
The mermaid's night vision ability is very strong, even in the dark night, Xia Xingqiao can see the man's face clearly.
He was stunned.
This man, this man looks so good-looking!
The little mermaid didn't shy away from it, she just looked at the man openly, her eyes were shining, and she didn't hide her love for him.
...Maybe it could be said to be fond of his looks.
The man's facial features are extremely handsome. He has long hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which is quite in line with Xia Xingqiao's aesthetics.
Rong Tingye felt the "fiery" eyes of the little mermaid, and saw clearly the beautiful face of the boy in the water through the dim light.
The young man was wet all over, like the legendary sea monster.
A look of astonishment flashed across Rong Tingye's eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by other emotions.
He bent down, stretched out his hand towards Xia Xingqiao, and said slowly, "Come."
Xia Xingqiao put his hand up without hesitation, and let Rong Tingye pull him onto the boat as well.
His fish tail melted into his legs underwater.
but......
Rong Tingye suddenly looked behind him.
Seeing that his subordinates lowered their heads and did not look in this direction, their expressions softened a little.
Rong Tingye looked at the naked boy who was pulled up by him: "..."
The boy's skin was very fair, and under the moonlight it was as smooth as fine jade.
But he was still sitting there, and said to Rong Tingye innocently: "You look so good-looking, even better than the man I saved just now."
Rong Tingye coughed, took off his coat, and put it on the boy.
Fortunately, the young man was petite, and Rong Tingye's coat was loose enough to cover his embarrassing places.
But Xia Xingqiao's two slender and fair legs were still exposed.
Rong Tingye deliberately looked away, and he knelt down to look at the unconscious Rong Feng.
"I will do this!" Xia Xingqiao wanted to show off in front of the person he liked, so he also came forward.
He remembered seeing how other humans did it before.
Isn't it just mouth to mouth blowing air!It's that simple.
So Xia Xingqiao put his hands on Rong Feng's body, and lowered his head face to face.
But before his head was completely lowered, Rong Tingye, whose forehead was throbbing, stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
Rong Tingye: "...If you don't need artificial respiration, let me do it."
He squeezed Rong Feng's chest a few times, but fortunately Rong Feng only choked up a few mouthfuls of water, and soon he tilted his head and coughed out the water, and he woke up.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, saw Rong Tingye, and called out in a hoarse voice: "Little uncle."
Then he passed out from exhaustion.
Xia Xingqiao no longer had the chance to perform in front of men, and felt a little depressed.
"I saved him," Xia Xingqiao and Rong Tingye emphasized, "No one else saved him."
Xia Xingqiao still remembered that in the story the turtle told him, it was because Ariel couldn't speak that she made the prince recognize the wrong person, which led to the tragedy that followed.
So he must let the man know that he saved the boy.
"But I don't like him..." Xia Xingqiao squeezed his fingers a little unhappily. He looked at Rong Tingye, no matter how he looked at it, he still liked this face better.
"I like you more," Xia Xingqiao said sullenly, "Why didn't you save me just now?"
If it was a man who fell into the sea just now, Xia Xingqiao would definitely be able to drag him back to the shore without feeling tired.
Rong Tingye who heard Xia Xingqiao whisper something: "..."
He raised his hand and touched Xia Xingqiao's head, feeling a little funny in his heart, so he deliberately said: "It doesn't matter, he is my nephew, and saving him is equivalent to saving me."
"really?"
Hearing what Rong Tingye said, the little depression in Xia Xingqiao's heart disappeared immediately.
Well, then there is no need to let the man jump, and save it again.
Xia Xingqiao looked at Rong Tingye who had a gentle face in front of him, and really liked it no matter what he saw.
He excitedly held Rong Tingye's hand, tilted his head and asked:
"In that case, I have saved you. Will you marry me?"
Rong Tingye: "...Married?"
"Finally woke up..."
Xia Xingqiao's eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes.
After seeing clearly the anxious face of the person in front of her, Xia Xingqiao gave a soothing smile and moved her lips slightly.
"mom......"
I saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman sitting in front of the hospital bed.
Although she was thin, haggard, and sickly, it could be seen that the woman had a good appearance when she was young.
Hearing Xia Xingqiao's hoarse voice, she agreed, and patted her chest with her hands, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Finally woke up," she wiped away her tears, and held Xia Xingqiao's hand, "You child, you scared me to death!"
Seeing Xia's mother's tears, Xia Xingqiao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and slightly squeezed back to hold Xia's mother's hand, "I made you worry, I am..."
Xia Xingqiao looked around and couldn't help frowning.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be in a car accident?

The little mermaid blinked and asked innocently: "Is this the only story you can tell?"
Sea Turtle: "...Nonsense, how can there be [-] times."
"I can memorize this story verbatim!" Xia Xingqiao cleared her throat, then deliberately lowered her voice, imitating the tone of a sea turtle and continued:
"It's so deep there that you can't measure its depth with anchor chains. Even if you put many, many church steeples one on top of the other, you can't reach from the bottom of the sea below to the surface of the sea above. The king of the sea and his subjects lived In that place..."
Turtle: "..."
Well, it's literally true.
The turtle coughed in embarrassment, and looked at the little mermaid in front of him.
Xia Xingqiao was lying on the boulder, his eyes curled up in laughter, and his already beautiful facial features suddenly became more lively and beautiful.
Seeing that the little mermaid has grown up gradually over the past few years, Hai Turtle felt even more worried besides the relief that the child has finally grown up.
I have lived for so many years, no matter on the shore or under the sea, I have naturally seen many people and things of all kinds, and I know what kind of unnecessary trouble Xia Xingqiao's appearance may cause him.
Thinking of this, Hai Turtle couldn't help but said earnestly: "Then do you know why I told you this story?"
The little mermaid is very lively, she is not just sitting there listening to teachings, she is wagging her tail back and forth admiringly.
Hearing Hai Turtle ask him this, Xia Xingqiao shrugged his shoulders: "I know."
Turtle: "...Really?"
Why does he not believe it?
"Really!" the little mermaid assured, patting her chest, "Grandpa Turtle, don't worry, I won't be the same as the mermaid in the story."
The turtle snorted, "Then trust you for now."
Xia Xingqiao was tired, so she changed her position.
He was bored playing with the aquatic plants beside him.
The turtle was still telling him tirelessly: "Anyway, it's really dangerous on the shore, and those human beings, you must stay away when you see them, do you understand?"
Xia Xingqiao said yes, but in fact, the left ear went in and the right ear came out, and she didn't take the turtle's words to heart at all.
But he was thinking in his heart: Grandpa Turtle is so stupid, doesn't he know that if he wants to go to shore, he doesn't need to go to the witch to drink that terrible potion?
In fact, Xia Xingqiao only suddenly discovered some time ago that he could actually control the fish's tail to become that kind of "leg" like a human.
How many times has he sneaked ashore...
And those humans who looked very similar to him didn't look as scary as Grandpa Turtle said.
The sea turtle who has been insisting on instilling in Xia Xingqiao the views that "it's dangerous on the shore" and "human beings are terrible" doesn't know that there is another word called "bottoming out".
His various obstructions made Xia Xingqiao's curiosity even more vigorous.
So when Xia Xingqiao, who was playing nearby, raised his head when there was a splash on the surface of the sea, he saw a human teenager struggling in the water.
Seeing that his struggling movements became smaller and smaller, he finally closed his eyes and slowly sank toward the bottom of the sea.
Xia Xingqiao just hesitated for a moment, then swam over with her tail wagging.
He supported the boy's sinking body, and then pushed the boy back to the surface of the sea.
Xia Xingqiao also got out of the sea together.
It was night at this time, and the clear brilliance of the moonlight sprinkled on the sea surface, and it seemed to be broken into countless starlights with Xia Xingqiao's movements.
The stars are not in the sky, but on the sea.
Xia Xingqiao looked around with a stiff expression on her face.
He was holding the boy's body in both hands and floating on the sea. It stands to reason that Xia Xingqiao's next step should be as in the story, to save the boy to the shore.
But Xia Xingqiao looked around, they were floating in the vast sea.
...Where is the shore?
Is he going to hold this person and swim all the way to the shore?
Xia Xingqiao pursed his lower lip. He began to suspect that Grandpa Sea Turtle had been fooling himself with that story.
How did Ariel in the story save a big man from the bottom of the sea to the shore!
Xia Xingqiao looked at the unconscious young man with his head down, and even thought if he threw this man back into the sea again...
The little mermaid shook her head hastily, to get this thought out of her head.
......Forget it.
Xia Xingqiao swung her tail resignedly, and swam towards the nearest coast.
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, a light lit up on the sea surface not far away.
It's a boat!
And the lights are getting brighter and brighter, and the boat is obviously approaching this way.
Xia Xingqiao waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly, "Here, here!"
The search and rescue boat heard Xia Xingqiao's voice and sped over.
There were only two people on the boat, and the standing man stretched out his hand and dragged the unconscious boy over.
The mermaid's night vision ability is very strong, even in the dark night, Xia Xingqiao can see the man's face clearly.
He was stunned.
This man, this man looks so good-looking!
The little mermaid didn't shy away from it, she just looked at the man openly, her eyes were shining, and she didn't hide her love for him.
...Maybe it could be said to be fond of his looks.
The man's facial features are extremely handsome. He has long hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which is quite in line with Xia Xingqiao's aesthetics.
Rong Tingye felt the "fiery" eyes of the little mermaid, and saw clearly the beautiful face of the boy in the water through the dim light.
The young man was wet all over, like the legendary sea monster.
A look of astonishment flashed across Rong Tingye's eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by other emotions.
He bent down, stretched out his hand towards Xia Xingqiao, and said slowly, "Come."
Xia Xingqiao put his hand up without hesitation, and let Rong Tingye pull him onto the boat as well.
His fish tail melted into his legs underwater.
but......
Rong Tingye suddenly looked behind him.
Seeing that his subordinates lowered their heads and did not look in this direction, their expressions softened a little.
Rong Tingye looked at the naked boy who was pulled up by him: "..."
The boy's skin was very fair, and under the moonlight it was as smooth as fine jade.
But he was still sitting there, and said to Rong Tingye innocently: "You look so good-looking, even better than the man I saved just now."
Rong Tingye coughed, took off his coat, and put it on the boy.
Fortunately, the young man was petite, and Rong Tingye's coat was loose enough to cover his embarrassing places.
But Xia Xingqiao's two slender and fair legs were still exposed.
Rong Tingye deliberately looked away, and he knelt down to look at the unconscious Rong Feng.
"I will do this!" Xia Xingqiao wanted to show off in front of the person he liked, so he also came forward.
He remembered seeing how other humans did it before.
Isn't it just mouth to mouth blowing air!It's that simple.
So Xia Xingqiao put his hands on Rong Feng's body, and lowered his head face to face.
But before his head was completely lowered, Rong Tingye, whose forehead was throbbing, stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
Rong Tingye: "...If you don't need artificial respiration, let me do it."
He squeezed Rong Feng's chest a few times, but fortunately Rong Feng only choked up a few mouthfuls of water, and soon he tilted his head and coughed out the water, and he woke up.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, saw Rong Tingye, and called out in a hoarse voice: "Little uncle."
Then he passed out from exhaustion.
Xia Xingqiao no longer had the chance to perform in front of men, and felt a little depressed.
"I saved him," Xia Xingqiao and Rong Tingye emphasized, "No one else saved him."
Xia Xingqiao still remembered that in the story the turtle told him, it was because Ariel couldn't speak that she made the prince recognize the wrong person, which led to the tragedy that followed.
So he must let the man know that he saved the boy.
"But I don't like him..." Xia Xingqiao squeezed his fingers a little unhappily. He looked at Rong Tingye, no matter how he looked at it, he still liked this face better.
"I like you more," Xia Xingqiao said sullenly, "Why didn't you save me just now?"
If it was a man who fell into the sea just now, Xia Xingqiao would definitely be able to drag him back to the shore without feeling tired.
Rong Tingye who heard Xia Xingqiao whisper something: "..."
He raised his hand and touched Xia Xingqiao's head, feeling a little funny in his heart, so he deliberately said: "It doesn't matter, he is my nephew, and saving him is equivalent to saving me."
"really?"
Hearing what Rong Tingye said, the little depression in Xia Xingqiao's heart disappeared immediately.
Well, then there is no need to let the man jump, and save it again.
Xia Xingqiao looked at Rong Tingye who had a gentle face in front of him, and really liked it no matter what he saw.
He excitedly held Rong Tingye's hand, tilted his head and asked:
"In that case, I have saved you. Will you marry me?"
Rong Tingye: "...Married?"
