The rain in Qingbei is icy cold, it falls extremely heavy, and it is also extremely cold.

Si Yue was wearing a handmade wool blanket with a pattern of a silver full moon on it.

The firewood was rekindled in the fireplace, and the fire was flickering. In the boy's hand was a silver teapot, which was stewed with white fungus and Sydney.

Si Yue coughed, looked at the nervous egret and said, "I'm fine."

The egret swam around in the fish tank twice, and then jumped up from the bottom of the water. He climbed out, fell with a "slap", and then stood up in his wet pajamas.

"If you don't ask for leave, forget it. It's boring to go to school."

Si Yue was baked very comfortably, "It's not because I went to school that made me catch a cold."

"It's about the same. If you don't go to school, you won't be in the rain." Aunt Lin took off the wet pajamas by Aunt Lin. When he took off his pants, his ear fins protruded, and his eyes widened in horror. , "I wear pants myself!"

After he put it on in a mess, he ran all the way over to see if Si Yue had a fever.

"I don't have a fever." He said.

Si Yue took a sip of the tremella pear, so sweet that his teeth fell out, he frowned, "I just don't feel well in my throat, and I don't have a fever."

"My brother is too nervous about you. We mermaids either don't get sick, or we die half of our lives when we get sick. That's why when I heard you coughing, my brother let you down to keep warm."

"Are you nervous or not?" Si Yue said in a low voice.

"A Yue, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

"It's nothing."

Si Yue stared at the sparkling firewood in the fireplace, and the flickering firelight also cast faint shadows on his face, clearly illuminating the bewilderment in his eyes.

He and Bai Jian were tied together because of interests, and later he found that Bai Jian was not bad, and the friendship between the two was a life-saving friendship - Bai Jian saved him twice.

Because of this level of friendship, the relationship between him and Bai Jian became more, uh...friendly?Just like the relationship between him and Zhou Yangyang, but the relationship between him and Zhou Yangyang can only be the closest friend.

Bai Jian can be other things. Sometimes, Bai Jian is the elder brother, and sometimes he is a sensible teacher. In fact, if we consider age together, he and Bai Jian can still be grandparents.

Si Yue subconsciously denied the most unlikely possibility. He thought, whether it was the difference in age, the difference between the two species, or the social status gap between the two families of Si Bai, and everything else, that Possibilities are the most unlikely.

"A Yue, do you have an idea?" Bailu's voice rang softly in his ears.

"what idea?"

"That's right," Bai Lu thought hard, "That's right, do you have something on your mind? You don't look happy?"

"Bailu, let me ask you, what kind of friendship is a friendship that has passed your life?" The reason why Si Yue asked Bailu is because Bailu sees certain things more simply than most people.Simplicity is the truth.

Bai Lu lifted the lid of the teapot with a piece of cloth, and the sound of boiling water suddenly became louder. He replied crisply, "Then at least we have to ask for help."

Si Yue was taken aback.

Could it be so?

"Then do you still have to go to class tomorrow?" Bai Lu's topic was very jumpy.

"Come on," Si Yue said, "I've been asking for leave every week since school started, and I might not be able to graduate later."

Bailu thought for a while, "Don't you still have my brother?"

"..."

Si Yue doesn't like to pretend to be sick and ask for leave. If he doesn't want to go to school, he usually skips class openly, but this kind of behavior usually doesn't happen.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly started to have a fever.

At first it felt cold no matter what, but the heating was turned on in the room, so no matter what, it would not make people shiver with cold.Si Yue wrapped herself in a quilt like a pupa, but she still felt cold.

He stretched out his hand and dazedly touched his face, it was scorching hot, burning the palm of his hand.

But Si Yue still felt very cold.

Si Yue got up from the bed, casually touched a coat and put it on, and walked downstairs unsteadily.

He knew where the fever-reducing medicines, which were always in stock at home, were in the kitchen and the living room, but they were all on the first floor.

There were a few dimly lit wall lamps in the living room, and the whole living room seemed to be covered with a hazy veil.

Si Yue's mind is still very clear.

The medicine in the kitchen is stored in the cupboard, and you have to step on a stool. The medicine in the living room is in a small drawer under the bookcase, and the living room is relatively close to him.

There are no locked doors in the house, and everyone knows exactly which rooms are allowed and which are not.

The living room belongs to Bai Jian, and apart from Uncle Chen, Si Yue is the only one who can come in and out at will without saying hello.

He pushed open the closed wooden door of the living room.He walked straight to the bookcase next to the wall without fully opening his eyes. He is very uncomfortable now, feeling that his head is twice as heavy as usual.

The squat went smoothly, because he was light-headed and he knew where the medicine was without turning on the light.

Si Yue took out a can of antipyretics, carefully read the words on the bottle, poured out two pieces and threw them into his mouth. After he finished pouring, he was stunned for a while, and then spit it out again, the sugar coating hadn't melted yet.

The temperature should be checked first.

There were everything in the drawer, Si Yue pulled the electronic temperature gun, held it up and pressed it on his forehead, 39.0, and all his sleepy ones ran away immediately.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed hoarsely.

"..."

Si Yue didn't realize there was someone behind her until she heard the laughter behind her.

He turned around and saw Bai Jian.

The living room was much darker than the living room, so he couldn't see Bai Jian's face clearly, but Bai Jian was the only one with such long legs in the family.

Bai Jian was wearing a white cotton pajamas, the fabric was soft, making his temperament more gentle.

"Have a fever?" Bai Jian said softly. He walked to Si Yue and squatted down. He raised his hand and put the back of his hand on Si Yue's forehead. Si Yue smelled the familiar scent of sage on her body, and felt that she was more hot.

He held up the temperature gun and pressed it against his wrist.

39.1.

Si Yue was groggy, and only woke up for a few minutes. After confirming that he had a fever, he threw the medicine back into his mouth. There was no water, and he swallowed it abruptly. up.

Bai Jian poured water and handed it over.

"Thank you." Si Yueweng said in a low voice, sitting on the carpet, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Bai Jian looked down at Si Yue's hair spinning, "I heard some movement downstairs, come down and have a look."

Si Yue showed an incredulous expression, "Can you hear this?"

Bai Jian smiled softly.

"I wanted to hear it, so I did."

The mermaid's hearing is only slightly stronger than that of humans, but it has not reached the point of abnormality.But Bai Jian is not an ordinary mermaid, many of his abilities are not at all or surpassed by several times.

As long as he wanted to, he could even hear Si Yue's breathing that was faster than usual after being ill and not even.

At this moment, Si Yue was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, and the soft trouser legs would rub against the grain of the carpet to make a fine rustling sound.

When he drank water, the warm water flowed from the cup into his mouth, hit the two rows of neat teeth like shells, and finally when it passed through the throat, the swallowing sound was clear and distinct.

After Si Yue gulped down the whole glass of water, Bai Jian's expression did not change at all.

"anything else?"

Si Yue said contentedly: "No more, it's not bitter anymore."

He handed the water glass to Bai Jian, turned around on the ground before getting up, shook his dizzy head, and almost fell into Bai Jian's arms.

Bai Jian reached out to support him.

The body temperature of human beings is impossible for mermaids. The minimum lethal temperature of humans is the normal body temperature of mermaids, and sometimes it is even lower than the minimum lethal temperature of humans.

Si Yue's hand touched Bai Jian's arm through the fabric, he froze for a moment, and said, "Bai Jian, your body temperature is too low."

Bai Jian supported the person to stand still, and put her palm against Si Yue's face, "It's usually the same temperature, but you have a fever now, so it seems that my temperature is even lower."

Si Yue nodded, "No wonder I feel so cool."

If the other party is Zhou Yangyang, Si Yue will invite the other party to sleep with her tonight, for no other reason than Bai Jian is really too hot.

Although it's not necessary now, but when it's summer, Bai Lu and Bai Jian can cool off together.

He rejected Bai Jian's proposal to take him back to the room, and he walked back to the bedroom slowly. He was dizzy and even started to feel nauseous.

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of the surging tide was louder than louder.

It was almost seven o'clock, and Uncle Chen hadn't seen Si Yue coming down to eat breakfast.The school starts at eight o'clock, and the drive in the past will take more than half an hour, and there is always a traffic jam on weekdays.

Bai Jian just came down from upstairs. He was wearing a tie while listening to Uncle Chen's explanation of the situation. Thinking of Si Yue's state last night, Bai Jian paused for a few seconds and said, "Go and call the school. Today's class is about to start." No more."

Uncle Chen looked distressed, "Mr. Bai Jian, Master Ayue always asks for leave. What if he can't keep up with the course? He's a medical student..."

Bai Jian gently pulled out the tie that was about to be fastened from under the collar, and Uncle Chen naturally reached out to take it, waiting for Bai Jian's answer.

"The class that fell..."

Uncle Chen suddenly thought: "Are you asking the teacher to make up lessons at school? That's what happened to Young Master Bailu before."

Bailu heard it, and he nodded fiercely at the dining table in agreement with the suggestion, "Yes, yes, I think it's okay! Let Ayue take lessons at home, and I can take lessons with him!"

He is more likely to be happy that he finally has a playmate at home.

"I usually go to school to attend class," Bai Jian said in a leisurely manner, "If there is a class that is missed, I will make it up for him."

Uncle Chen was taken aback, "Are you making up lessons for Master A Yue?" He couldn't believe it.

That would be his overkill.

"I'll go up to see Ayue. You inform Special Assistant Jiang that I'm working from home today." After speaking, before Uncle Chen could react, Bai Jian turned and went upstairs.

He didn't go back to his room, he went to see Ah Yue.

Bai Lu found a huge piece of crab meat in the porridge with a fork, and he blew on it and said, "Phew, it's over, my brother is in love, huh~"

Uncle Chen: "..."

When it was almost dawn, Si Yue got up and took a shower. He was sweating all over, and the quilt was soaked. He washed himself clean and didn't want to go back to bed to sleep.

He took out a blanket from the cabinet, covered it directly on the recliner and fell asleep.

No matter how thin he is, his height is also there. His height of 1.8 meters makes him look a little aggrieved when he is nestled in a recliner.

Bai Jian walked slowly, and he walked to Si Yue's side.

The blanket was very thick, and the size was more than enough for use on the bed. Si Yue slept in the recliner, and a large part of the blanket was piled up on the ground.

The human cub slept peacefully in the couch. He was curled up, and his profile was as exquisite as the most perfect work of a sculptor under the dim light outside the window.

Even among the mermaid species that are most likely to produce handsome men and beautiful women, Si Yue's face is rare.

Bai Jian covered the back of Si Yue's exposed hands with a blanket.

The lifespan of a mermaid is around two hundred at most, and it won't be too much longer.The death of a mermaid is always like a fading oil painting, no matter how beautiful they were in life, they will eventually turn a dull gray, their scales will fall off, and their hair will turn gray.

Bai Jian has lived for 300 years, and he has seen many beautiful human beings or mermaids. The growth of age and the changes in their faces have long been unable to move him.

But Siyue, who is fresh and bright, is different. As for what is different... Compared with all humans and all fish, it is all different.

Bai Jian touched Si Yue's forehead, it wasn't very hot anymore, probably because of the fever last night, she felt a little dizzy, and after the fever subsided, she fell asleep very deeply.

The self-healing ability of human beings is far better than that of mermaids. Although there are not many types of mermaid diseases, any one of them can be fatal, even if it is just a cold and fever. Failure, and fractures have a chance of causing systemic infection and softening of the bones.

Si Yue was frozen by Bai Jian's hand, and opened his eyes in a daze. The angle was wrong, and he seemed to see the silver scales on the back of the other's neck.

When I looked at it thoroughly, I realized that I seemed to have misread it.

"You didn't go to the company?" Si Yue lifted the blanket and sat up, and Bai Jian also stood up.

"The company doesn't have much to do today, so we can deal with it at home," Bai Jian lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "It's almost eight o'clock, and I asked Uncle Chen to help you ask for leave from school."

Hearing that she had asked for leave again, Si Yue jumped out of her chair and stood barefoot on the floor, "Ask for leave again? I have missed so many classes, the exam must be over."

Bai Jian glanced at the ten fair toes on the dark floor, and looked away, "I can make up lessons for you."

Si Yue didn't react.

Bai Jian said again: "It's free."

Si Yue reacted.

"It's not a question of whether to charge or not," he said, racking his brains, as if trying to figure out how to explain the problem. "They must think I have a background."

Bai Jian raised her hand, pressed down some of Si Yue's curled up hair, and smiled, "Isn't there?"

Si Yue: "..."

"Go downstairs to check your temperature, and then have breakfast. I'll make up for you after the meeting." After Bai Jian finished speaking, she paused for a few seconds, "Also, remember to put on your shoes."

"I didn't bring any books," Si Yue quickly put on his shoes by the bed, and chased them out. He followed Bai Jian downstairs, "The courses I missed are different, how can I make up for them?"

"Can you make it up without a book? Bai Jian, are you bragging..."

The fever subsided, and Si Yue's energy returned, but her complexion was still a little unwell.

Bai Jian stopped, turned around and said helplessly, "Ah Yue, let alone you, I can teach even if it is your teacher."

Si Yue: "?"

In Bai Jian's eyes, Si Yue's courses are the same as doctoral students doing addition and subtraction in the first grade of elementary school.

"I'll go..." After a short period of disbelief, he walked around Bai Jian, "What you said is true? Bai Jian, why do you look like an old monster?"

"..."

"Can you teach Fanxi? He's still the director of the research institute. You can't be omnipotent, right? Bai Jian, if I live to be three hundred years old, I..."

"Besides, we need to see models in many of our experimental classes." This is also one aspect of Si Yue's concern. Although all the students in his class are mermaids except him, mermaids don't easily show their tails, so they also use models in class. .

"A Yue," Bai Jian reminded Si Yue helplessly, "I am a mermaid."

"What's wrong with the mermaid?" Si Yue didn't react for a while, until he looked into Bai Jian's eyes and understood what Bai Jian meant. He was a little embarrassed, "You mean let me see your tail? You didn't Say, you can’t just look at the mermaid’s tail?”

Bai Jian smiled, "Others can't, but Ah Yue can."

Si Yue was dumbfounded by these words, what do you mean he can?Is it because of their close friendship, or because of something else.

He couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to think deeply.

Bai Jian stopped, and Si Yue was obviously very cautious and timid in this regard. He patted Si Yue on the shoulder, "Let's go have breakfast."

Si Yue is not very hungry yet.

But very thirsty.

He went to the living room and poured himself a large glass of water. While drinking, he saw Uncle Chen with a serious expression, walking quickly to Bai Jian's side.

"Mr. Bai Jian," Uncle Chen lowered his voice, "Ms. Bai Yiti passed away an hour ago."

Bai Yiti?

Si Yue held water in her mouth, and remembered that it was old man Bai's sister, their aunt, who gave him a wedding gift last time.

died?

"The funeral will be at [-] o'clock tomorrow night. Ms. Bai Yiti's property has not been instructed in advance how to distribute it, but she has left a voice message, hoping that you will preside over the funeral and distribute her estate at the same time."

"And, Ms. Bai Yiti said, if you are not willing to distribute, all the inheritance will belong to you."

"Understood," Bai Jian's tone was flat, without the intimacy and gentleness when chatting with Si Yue, "tell them, I will arrive on time tomorrow night."

Uncle Chen nodded, took the phone and left.

Bai Jian sat down on the sofa in the living room, looking at Si Yue who was standing beside her in a trance.

After realizing that Bai Jian was looking at her, Si Yue took a few more sips of water to cover up, and then pretended to ask casually, "Is it Bai Ran's grandma?"

Bai Jian said "um" very softly, but asked, "Are you familiar with Bai Ran?"

Is the point of focus a little weird?

Si Yue shook her head, "Bai Ran and I were classmates in high school. We didn't talk much, but he was very popular in school, very popular. Everyone liked him very much, and the teacher liked him very much. like him."

Compared with Bai Ran, Si Yue is a completely negative example. Even if she occasionally gets a good grade in the test, she will be completely denied because of her previous actions.

And those who did nothing more than beat up the boy who was a female classmate of xsr, or insulted the teacher who spoke viciously.

It's just because of him, Zhou Yangyang, Zheng Xuyu, and Jiang Zhiyi. They are always tied together and do everything together. The teacher doesn't like such students very much. In modern times, no one would associate them with doing good deeds, but every time they talked about bullying, they would think of Si Yue.

Every time he beat Si Yue, the teacher would praise Bai Ran by the way.

Because Bai Ran belongs to the Bai family, the teacher is not worried that Si Yue will get angry and take revenge on him.

Bai Jian knew that the two were classmates, but it was rare to hear names other than Zhou Yangyang and his group from Si Yue, and they were Bai Ran who were about the same age.

Si Yue: "Why did my aunt die? Weren't you all fine the last time we met?"

Bai Jian was very indifferent, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, both mermaids and humans are like this."

"Oh..." Si Yue felt empty in her heart, not because of Bai Yiti's death, but because of Bai Jian's attitude.

When Uncle Chen told him, he didn't even have any fluctuations in his eyes.

It seems that this is a normal thing, although it is indeed normal.

"I just think it's so sudden." Si Yue said with emotion, he scratched his hair, "Bai Jian, will you be sad?"

Bai Jian's eyes behind the lens were warm, "Bai Yiti and I are just acquaintances, that's all. The ones who are sad should be the old man upstairs and Bailu."

The relationship between Bailu and Bai Yiti is very close. Bailu has a sweet mouth and is lovable. He was in poor health when he was a child, and Bai Yiti loved him very much.

Si Yue has felt this kind of indifference from Bai Jian more than once, as if any accident is not an accident in his eyes.

And the birth, old age, sickness and death that the world fears and fears may only be described as the beginning and the end in his eyes.

As for whether death is the end or the beginning, he may have a different view from others.

"Ayue, are you sad?" Mermaids are very sensitive and caring about their partner's emotions. If their emotions are different, the aura around them will change.

Not to mention, Si Yue didn't pretend at all.

"No," said Si Yue, who was not familiar with Bai Yiti, "I feel that time flies like an arrow, and time flies by."

"..."

Finding Si Yue's heart was different, Bai Jian reached out and rubbed the top of his hair, "A Yue, Ms. Bai's partner passed away due to illness 50 years ago. Mermaids are very loyal and dedicated creatures. Ms. Bai is conservative. Since the day she passed away, her physical condition has gradually begun to deteriorate irreparably, so all of us have been mentally prepared for this."

"But she was still wearing a cheongsam that day, she was very temperamental, and her complexion was also very good..."

Bai Jian's tone was slow and gentle, with a touch of comfort, which attracted Si Yue to express his thoughts.

"Ms. Bai's hair turned white overnight, and her wrinkles also grew overnight. Mermaids age very slowly, but she aged overnight on the day her partner passed away."

Si Yue stayed for a while after listening, feeling a little stuffy in her chest.

"That's why many old-fashioned mermaids don't easily have a partner. This group has similar biological attributes to Manberry." Bai Jian said slowly.

"Are you the same as them?" Si Yue suppressed the discomfort in her heart and asked Bai Jian.

Bai Jian didn't give an answer immediately like before. He thought for a few seconds and said slowly, "No."

He is immortal, and no matter when his partner dies, he is still immortal.

"That's it," Si Yue didn't know what to say, and said with a heavy heart, "Then you're pretty awesome."
