Two minutes before dinner, Bai Jian brought Si Yue to the main hall.

In the spacious rectangular main hall, the quaint yellow rosewood long dining table runs from one end to the other end of the main hall, and the dim skylight shines in from the transparent glass on the top.

The room was lit, and there were several finely crafted candlesticks on the dining table. The candle flames were indistinct. The wall lamps and the chandelier above the head made the main hall as bright as day. The four mermaid statues placed in the corners looked solemn and peaceful.

Si Yue got goosebumps on her arms.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the salty smell in the air was particularly strong, and he rushed towards him, and the sea water mixed with the smell of marine life.

Si Yue walked behind Bai Jian, and all the seats were full, leaving only the main seat and the seat to the left of the main seat. Don't think about it, the one on the left must be his seat.

Bai Jian pulled out the chair for Si Yue, and Si Yue whispered thank you.

After sitting down, Si Yue was able to look at the people sitting at the table.

It was unexpected for Si Yue to see familiar faces. One of them was Bai Ran, his high school classmate. The other party didn't seem surprised when he saw him, and even smiled at him.

Si Yue withdrew her gaze and looked at the egret sitting next to her.

Bai Lu seemed very pleasantly surprised. He leaned next to Si Yue and said in a "whispered voice", "My brother is afraid that you will be uncomfortable, so let me sit next to you."

Everyone around looked at Si Yue.

Even the corners of Bai Jian's lips curled up.

Si Yue: "..."

He looked at Bailu and forced himself to remain calm, "Do you have a horn in your throat?"

Egret pouted.

"..."

Not seeing.

The people in the kitchen began to serve the dishes. The ingredients were rare and the dishes were exquisitely arranged. It might be more appropriate to describe it as a work of art.

Si Yue spread the napkin on his lap. At first, he thought that Bai Jian would stand up with a glass of wine, clear her throat, and talk a lot at length like many families did. Unexpectedly, from sitting down, Bai Jian was alone. No words were spoken.

Since Bai Jian didn't have anything for him to do, Si Yue focused on the food.

He found that the food in front of everyone is different.

The person opposite him was Yusheng, all kinds of Yusheng, except for the common salmon and arctic shellfish, there were more things that Si Yue couldn't even name.

As for the egret sitting beside him, there were some octopus tentacles and jellyfish on the plate.

"A Yue, please raise your hand." Bailu asked in a "whispered" voice.

Si Yue lowered his eyes and saw a tentacle crawling under his arm, wriggling constantly.

"!"

Si Yue was taken aback, and she dodged towards Bai Jian. The chair legs rubbed against the black gold marble floor and made a screeching sound. .

The eyes of everyone were not direct, but it still made Si Yue feel a little offended.

Si Yue looked towards the source of the most obvious expression of dissatisfaction. It was a girl and a mermaid, so she couldn't accurately judge her age, but if converted to human age, she should be about the same age as him.

The other party was wearing a white lace dress with puff sleeves and a cute bun. Facing Si Yue's cold gaze, she did not dodge or avoid it.

"Eat." Bai Jian's gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Only then did Si Yue come back to his senses, because he was so frightened by the egret that he was almost on Bai Jian's shoulder, and he moved back a little uncomfortably.

He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, looked at the western food in front of Bai Jian, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you need me to cooperate with you in acting?"

Bai Jian smiled, "What are you acting for?"

Si Yue originally planned to say this, but thought that mermaids always have some strange abilities.The ghost knows whether they have hearing or not, and they are several times stronger than humans.

So Si Yue moved the chair closer to Bai Jian's side, and lowered her voice very low, "That is, do you need me to cooperate with you in acting that kind of affectionate look?" The rich and powerful families all acted for each other.

Bai Jian could see Si Yue's thick and slender eyelashes like two small fans when she lowered her eyes.

"How do you want to act?" He cooperated with the other party.

Si Yue held the chopsticks, thought for a while, and was about to stick them to Bai Jian's ears, but he didn't realize it.

"It's not up to you? Otherwise, what if we let them see that we are fake?"

"We are not fake." Bai Jian corrected him lightly.

Si Yue smelled a flash of displeasure from the other party.

Very light and fades away very quickly.

He raised his eyes to see the other person's expression, but the first thing he saw was small silver fish scales that were the size of fingernails behind Bai Jian's ears and arranged irregularly.

But it soon disappeared, Si Yue stared behind Bai Jian's ear, thinking that she must be hallucinating.

"I know." Si Yue showed Bai Jian her left hand, "I haven't forgotten the ring."

Bai Jian cut the steak slowly, put down the knife and fork, raised his hand and pinched Si Yue's face, "Ah Yue did a good job."

His fingers were cold, but Si Yue still felt the part of his skin that was touched began to heat up.

Si Yue is seldom praised by others, whether it is parents or teachers, it will only damage his childhood, which is even more impossible.

Even if he was admitted to Qingbei University by himself, when the high school head teacher mentioned him to others, others suspected that he was taking advantage of his family background, and the head teacher hesitated: "Maybe, actually, I also think Si Yue's grades are improving too quickly."

Although Si Yue didn't care about this half-sentence compliment, because he had never been praised sincerely, so even if Si Yue didn't admit it, it didn't affect Bai Jian's pleasure every time he praised him.

He lowered his head and poked a piece of fish into his mouth. If the fork were sharper, it would surely be able to burst the bubbles that kept popping up from the bottom of his heart one by one.

After the meal, Bai Jian got up and did not leave directly. He bent down and pressed against Si Yue's ear, and said softly: "If you feel uncomfortable staying downstairs, go back to your room and let Bai Lu play games with you."

The hot air he exhaled burned Si Yue's ears hot.

Si Yue covered her ears and looked up at Bai Jian, "Then where are you going?"

He himself couldn't see how dependent his eyes were at the moment.

Bai Jian's eyes darkened a little, he thought, Ah Yue should only be familiar with him here, so he felt a sense of dependence.

"Deal with some business with the elders." After Bai Jian replied, she left the main hall.

As soon as Bai Jian left, a group of people at the dining table huffed and left.

The rest, Si Yue looked at, should be about the same age as him.

Bai Lu dragged Si Yue and introduced the young man next to him, "A Yue, this is Bai Yuanye, who is also my elder brother. He is 20 years older than me. Converted to human age, he is in his early 20s."

"You must have an impression of him, singer, Thief."

The latter wore earphones and dyed blond hair. His facial features were so exquisite that there was nothing wrong with them. He had a cold expression, "Hello, I'm Bai Yuanye."

Si Yue acted colder than him, "Si Yue."

Bailu put the two people's hands together, palms on the backs of their hands, "Holding hands, holding hands is a good friend."

The two pulled their hands back at the same time.

After withdrawing his hand, Si Yue suddenly remembered something, he paused, and looked at Bai Yuanye, "My friend is your fan, can I sign it?"

In fact, if it wasn't for Bai Yuanye's surname, it would not have been easy for Zhou Yangyang to get a singer's autograph.

But just because Bai Yuanye is a member of the Bai family, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, even if it's just a signature. feared.

Bai Yuanye was a little surprised, he was taken aback, "Yes."

The people at the dining table gradually left the table, and Si Yue was about to go back to the room. He really had no common topics with this group of strangers, and he didn't plan to have any common topics.

"Siyue!" Before walking out of the main hall, someone behind him stopped him.

When Bai Ran smiled, he showed two dimples, "When the news broke that Mr. Bai Jian married you, I thought it was someone with the same name and surname as you, but I didn't expect it was really you."

It's someone I know, Si Yue is not so cold, he nodded, "It's me." It's not much better than being cold.

Bai Ran looked Si Yue up and down, it seemed that it was difficult to connect the person in front of him with the arrogant rich second generation in the school, he smiled, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai Jian likes your type."

Si Yue frowned slightly.

Whether Bai Jian likes him or not is not the point, but what is his type?

"What's wrong with my type?" Si Yue's tone was neither warm nor friendly. Bai Ran was very popular in school at that time, and was dubbed the most gentle in the world by students on the school net.

Bai Ran is wearing a white formal suit today, his facial features are soft, and his temperament is gentle. His hair color is light, even with a faint golden layer.For some reason, Si Yue feels that Bai Ran and Bai Jian have similar temperaments, but Bai Ran is superficial. Compared with Bai Jian, Bai Ran is too young and not settled enough. Bai Jian's elegance and easy-going are deep down. Besides, Bai Jian is not only elegant and easy-going.

"You..." Bai Ran thought for a while, then said, "You are more lively."

Si Yue: "..."

"It's okay, I'll go upstairs." Si Yue said expressionlessly.

"Hey!"

"and many more!"

It wasn't Bai Ran who stopped Si Yue, it was the people Si Yue was chatting with in the room and the pavilion before, both men and women, who were about the same age as Si Yue.

The hostility on the face of the girl with the ball head was not concealed in any way, she walked up to Si Yue, raised her head with a contemptuous expression, "You are Si Yue?"

The visitor is not good.

Si Yue looked down at the other party, "Nonsense, I'm not you?"

Bai Chun: "..."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to know how to respond, Si Yue repaid all the displeasure the other party had brought to her in the morning.

"It was you who said in the morning that after I die, Bai Jian may like someone else." Si Yue narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Didn't you know that a mermaid will only have one partner in her life? Since Bai Jian chose me, she would not There will be other companions."

Bai Chun's face is blue and white, she is very clear that what Si Yue said is the truth, in fact, after so many years of transformation, many mermaids have long since lost their insistence of "only having one partner in their life" at the beginning.

But Bai Jian is different.

"Okay, I have no problem if you want to hit Bai Jian, he won't like you anyway." Si Yue twitched her lips, thinking of what Bai Lu said last night, Si Yue leaned over and looked at Bai Chun's light brown pupils, He whispered, "However, don't trouble me, I like to bully others."

"Everything you said to me now, I will tell Bai Jian verbatim."

After Si Yue finished speaking, she took a step back and shrugged her shoulders, with an indifferent attitude of "just say it", making Bai Chun so angry that she couldn't even utter a single syllable.

Bai Chun bit her lip, looking extremely wronged.

The boy behind her couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Bai Chun aside, and stood face to face with Si Yue, "We are right, human beings can only live for a few decades, and they are not worthy of being a mermaid's partner at all."

"What's more, Mr. Bai Jian, you are just an ordinary rich second generation, with mediocre education, no more looks, and even more mediocre family background. We are just discussing the matter."

Si Yue found out that the people in the Bai family are not unreasonable, no matter what they say, they are in order.

In their eyes, he was indeed an outlier.

And he, an outlier, took away their Mr. Bai Jian's favorite and the position of the only partner by their side, at least from their point of view. Judging from all aspects, Si Yue knew that he and Bai Jian were indeed unsuitable. But it's one thing to be clear to yourself, and another thing to be regarded as a reason to be superior and despise him by others.

"You've lived a long time, why doesn't Bai Jian like you?" Si Yue clicked her tongue, "I died early, but Bai Jian just liked me, and when I die, I will become Bai Jian's white moonlight, you guys Are you going to die of anger?"

"..."

Bai Chun was really going to die of anger, because Si Yue was different from all the Bai family members she faced.

The rich second generation is also divided into circles, and each circle usually has similar hobbies, family background, social status, and even the business sector of the company. The Bai family is a big family among the mermaid species, and they usually only hang out with mermaids. The Bai family has a deep heritage, they have always been high above the ground, and they don't get caught up in fireworks.

As for Si Yue and Zhou Yangyang, they belong to the rich and rich second generation that are common in every city, drag racing, clubbing and extreme sports, can play well in the upper class circle, and can also be down-to-earth when they need to be down-to-earth.

The descendants of big families generally disdain to associate with such ordinary wealthy families.

So facing Si Yue, who is rebellious and unreasonable, Bai Chun and others are completely unable to parry.

It's not that he doesn't know how to fight back, but because of Si Yue's current status, he relies on Mr. Bai Jian, and the smell of Mr. Bai Jian on Si Yue's body is enough to make all of them bow their heads.

"Master Ayue, Mr. Bai Jian asked me to take you to the living room." Uncle Chen appeared at the door.

After Si Yue left, Bai Yuanye was still sitting at the dining table, and he pushed the egret who was still eating, "You have been in contact with him during this time, how is he?"

Bailu chewed the contents of his mouth, "Ah Yue is very good, it's very comfortable to be with him, he won't compete with me for razor clams, and he doesn't have so many rules."

Bai Yuanye was about to nod, because he had nothing to say, when he heard Bai Lu say again: "I also want to marry A Yue."

"..."

Uncle Chen carried Si Yue into the living room, the lights were on, and the incense with a very elegant fragrance was lit. There were men and women sitting on the sofa. There were about five or six people in total, all of whom were often seen on TV. familiar faces.

"This is Mr. Bai."

"This is Second Uncle Bai."

"This is Third Uncle Bai."

"..."

Si Yue just called someone according to Uncle Chen's introduction, but he didn't remember anyone who was who.

However, he remembered one of the grey-haired grandmas, because she was the only one with white hair, tied into a bun with black jade hairpins at the back of her head, and the dark green buttoned cheongsam with a fur collar. The temperament still overwhelmed all the guests present.

This is Bai Zu's grandma, the sister of the same mother and compatriot of the old man Bai, but he is more than 30 years younger than the old man.She is the third oldest female mermaid in the Bai family.

Si Yue had a good impression of her, and she laughed when she called her, "Hi, grandma."

Bai Yiti smiled lovingly, "Sit."

What showed in her eyes was her sincere liking for Si Yue, because Bai Jian had no direct blood relationship with the Bai family, and he was even older than Bai Yiti, so Bai Jian would not call her grandma.

Si Yue didn't think about it so much, he called everyone next to each other.

Bai Jian beckoned Si Yue to sit beside him.

Si Yue walked over obediently and sat down beside him.Uncle Chen brought over a pot of steaming fruit tea and poured Si Yue a cup.

After Uncle Chen withdrew, someone took the initiative to speak.

"It's the first time we met, and I didn't prepare any special gifts," Bai Yiti took out a long wine-red suede box from her handbag, and tied a bow on the side with a two-finger-wide creamy-white ribbon. She put the box on the table in front of Si Yue, "It's all Bai Jian's fault, it happened so suddenly, we didn't have time to prepare."

Si Yue looked at Bai Jian subconsciously, and Bai Jian said softly, "You can accept it."

After he took it, he said thank you to grandma, and then according to his seniority, he gave gifts to Si Yue.

Among them is a gray box, which Siyue knows. It is a local jewelry brand in China. The designers are all well-ranked in China. It is aimed at consumer groups in the age range of 40 to [-]. It pays attention to design and is very popular among young people. like.

"Bai Jian likes you so much, you should ask for a wedding." The speaker, Si Yue, also forgot who it was. The other party had a round face, a round body, round fingers, neck, eyes and nose, and fair skin. Wearing a black top hat, he fits nicely with a cigar in his mouth.

Si Yue entered the role, he pursed his lips and smiled, looking very reserved, "As long as he likes me, I don't care if there is a wedding or not."

Bai Jian looked at the profile of the boy beside her.

His usual look of rebelliousness like a little wild colt has calmed down, coupled with gorgeous but not exaggerated costumes, he really looks like a noble young master who was raised in the palm of his hand in the Middle Ages.

Although Bai Jian knew that Si Yue was faking it.

Even without Bai Jian's cooperation, Si Yue would still act in such a good show of affection.

"No wonder Bai Jian likes you. I like such a good and sensible boy." Uncle Bai, who was sitting opposite Si Yue, patted his thigh and said to the people beside him.

Si Yue smiled and didn't answer.

Also in Qingbei, even if he is not notorious in Qingbei, as long as you talk about playboys, he is one of them.

So, he can act, and other people present are also acting. There is only one thing they can't be sure of - what is the relationship between him and Bai Jian.

If the relationship is not good, as the group of little mermaids outside said, when he dies, there will be other little mermaids who can take over.

Si Yue hates this kind of hypocrisy coming and going, but due to the agreement with Bai Jian, he can only bear the irritability to deal with it. Only when talking to Bai Yiti, he will feel more comfortable.

For others, there are always some thorny words in a sentence.

The family dinner ended at [-]:[-] pm. The elders and the younger generation left one after another in their own cars. Bai Yuanye put on his coat and scarf, "Brother, I'm leaving too. I have a schedule tomorrow morning."

After Bai Jian nodded, Bai Yuanye turned and left, and Bai Lu immediately stood up, "I'll see him off!"

Only Si Yue and Bai Jian were left in the living room.

Si Yue relaxed, pulled off the bow tie and the two buttons on the top of the shirt, sat down on the ground, and started to unwrap the pile of presents in front of him. He pulled the bow tie halfway, stopped suddenly, and turned back to ask Bai Jian, "Can I be Are you tearing it apart in front of you?"

"Please go ahead." Bai Jian still had a calm and elegant posture, unlike Si Yue, who was like a taut string before this.

The first gift Si Yue unpacked was a shell bracelet. The snow-white and dark blue shells were the same size, and the patterns on the shells were opposite, one vertical and one horizontal.

"It looks good." Si Yue praised it sincerely, it was even more beautiful than the ones he bought in some brand stores.

Si Yue opened the box, and on it was the giver's name: Bai Ge.

Si Yue had no memory of this person, but she knew that it was a gift from the younger generations of the Bai family.

"Do you mermaids always go to the sea to fish for gifts?" Si Yue held up the shell bracelet and looked at it carefully, "Bai Jian, you seem to seldom go to the sea."

Bai Jian doesn't look like a mermaid at all, but Si Yue has seen his real shape, his exposed fins, his silver-blue tail fin, and sharp scales, and knows that the real shape of a mermaid in front of him is completely different from gentleness.

So it's not surprising that those in the Bai family love and fear Bai Jian.

Si Yue thought, if he were a mermaid, he would also like Bai Jian.

But before that, he's going to sea shells first.

Seeing that Si Yue was particularly fond of the string of shells, Bai Jian put down the document in her hand, "Do you like shells very much?"

Si Yue looked up, "I just think the shells in my hands look good. I don't have anything I particularly like." Living along the coast, I haven't seen anything.

Bai Jian's gaze stayed on the string of shells for a few seconds, "This is a manberry shellfish, male and female live together, if one of them dies, the other will refuse to eat, and will die with the dead one."

"There are no mantip shells in Qingbei waters, and the number of mantip shells is very small under the yellow coral group in the shallow waters of the West Sea."

"Bai Ge is paying attention."

After Si Yue digested Bai Jian's words, "Actually, this is not suitable for us. You see, if I die, you won't eat or drink. You can still live for hundreds of years. It's not worth it."

With a smile in her eyes, Bai Jian imagined with Si Yue, "A Yue, I think that whether it's worth it should not be measured by length."

Si Yue blinked and said "oh" slowly.

Bai Jian took the string of shells from his hand, and scratched Si Yue's palm gently with her fingertips. He looked as usual, "If possible, how long do you want to live, Ayue?"

Si Yue didn't think about this question, because before he came into contact with Bai Jian, he didn't feel anything special about the lifespan of mermaids twice as long as humans, until he knew that Bai Jian was three hundred years old.

"Whatever, live to die naturally." Si Yue said casually without thinking too much.

"..."

Bai Jian smiled, he leaned over and pulled Si Yue to him, his movements were strong and could not be refused, Si Yue was completely dragged over, he let out a "fuck", and his wrist was pinched in Bai Jian's hand.

Bai Jian put the shell bracelet on Si Yue's wrist. Si Yue has fair skin and slender fingers. Wearing jewelry makes him look very delicate.

The action was too intimate, Si Yue was a little uncomfortable, but Bai Jian's breath was gentle, and she didn't seem to be annoying.

Bai Jian looked at the human cub whose eyes were wandering around, his pupils were deep black, and he sighed softly, "It would be great if Ah Yue was a mermaid."
