Fish Notes

However, the ordinary life did not last long, perhaps it was a mockery of fate.

In order to celebrate the little mermaid's birthday—that is, the day the little fisherman set for it after picking it up, he went to the jewelry store in the town to pick out gifts.Although the little mermaid found a lot of pearls in the sea, the little fisherman hid them well and used the money earned from fishing to buy things on weekdays.

Thinking that little girls like shiny things, the little fisherman saved money for a long time, walked around in front of the glass window several times, and finally stepped into the store.Finally he settled on a small silver necklace with an olive green gemstone inlaid in the pendant, the same color as the little mermaid's eyes.

When he was about to pay the bill, a shrill female voice sounded from the side, abruptly snatching the necklace he was pointing at.He looked over angrily, it turned out to be the mayor's daughter, a few years older than him, she was petite but put on a high-ranking appearance, followed by a string of maids.After seeing the little fisherman's face clearly, those slender eyes narrowed for a moment, then were covered by the fan, and changed into salivating gazes when they were revealed again.

The little fisherman felt uncomfortable in that strange look, and had no intention of competing with the young lady, so he swallowed the bad words and turned to leave.The eldest lady over there was looking up and down at the young man in front of her, wishing she could reach out and caress that wheat-colored skin and strong body, and this man was not the vulgar look of an inferior person, his eyebrows and eyes could be called handsome.

Among the lovers she has met, this is also the best.

The status is low and the control is better.

Opening her mouth to stop the little fisherman who was about to step out, the eldest lady waved for someone to wrap the necklace, then took it in her hand, and Tingting came over gracefully.The little fisherman looked suspiciously at the small box handed over, and stepped back a few steps. There was still a strong smell of perfume in his nose, which made him want to cough.

Seeing his resisting behavior, the eldest lady didn't bother him too much. After all, she had to take her own reputation into consideration in public.He couldn't ask anything, so he just put the box into the little fisherman's hand, and led the maids past him and went out.Even if what the little fisherman holds is for his lover or wife, she has the confidence to make him her servant...

The little fisherman couldn't take it, and he couldn't return it. The shop owner didn't want to cause trouble, so he begged him to leave quickly.Seeing that it was getting late, the little mermaid should be waiting anxiously at home, so he had to hurry to get on the ox cart going back.

In the evening, the little mermaid took out the gift, and she was really happy. She lowered her head automatically and asked him to hang the necklace around her neck.When the precious stone shimmered in the moonlight, the little mermaid's eyes seemed to light up, and they were all clear olive green.The little fisherman sat by the pool and watched it play in the water, showing a faint smile. Needless to say, let’s forget about the troubles we encountered today.

Ah, so cute.

As a result, trouble is trouble after all.After a few days of peace, someone came to the door, saying that it was a servant of the family who had followed the order of the eldest lady to invite the little fisherman to a banquet.How could a rich and powerful young lady want to have a relationship with an inferior family for no reason?The little fisherman instinctively felt that there was an evil intention behind it, so he flatly refused, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and invited him out.

In the days that followed, people kept coming to the door, tempting money and intimidating power, and it was almost a matter of bluntly saying that the little fisherman was going to be the lover of the eldest lady.Not to mention that the little fisherman was never interested in love. After raising the little mermaid, he shunned others. Except for his mother, the little mermaid, and the neighbor's aunt, he never approached other women, let alone who he wanted to be his lover. , is simply ridiculous.

The life-and-death inseparable sincere relationship between his parents still remains deep in his heart. Even though he has no intention of finding a partner, the little fisherman will only feel disgusted seeing others treat their relationship so casually.The little mermaid seemed to realize something, and became more clingy, for fear that the little fisherman would leave its sight for too long.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to listen to the chatter of the people gathered at the entrance of the village. The eldest lady seemed to be engaged, so there was no time to pay attention to the little fisherman, and no one was sent to the door.The little fisherman was naturally happy and quiet, but there was still a remaining problem, that is, the little mermaid had overheard a few words before, and chased him to ask what he liked.

The little fisherman pondered for a moment, and explained to it that the relationship between human partners is an emotion between the closest people.After finishing speaking, the little mermaid pointed at her fingers and replied with a sudden realization: "I know, I like brother!" The little fisherman's heart trembled, and he patted his head: "No, it's about my partner's liking, which is different from this one." Same." The little mermaid lowered her eyes and flicked her tail slightly, showing disapproval: "I just like it."

Until bedtime, the little mermaid didn't come over as usual, but huddled in a corner with her back to him and refused to turn her head.The little fisherman knew it was angry, and he was helpless, so he said good night and went back to his room.Lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, the little mermaid's resolute "like" echoed in his ears, the little fisherman was restless and tossed and turned.

When did the feelings in my heart change?

Obviously... that is the existence he regards as a family member, a little one, always by his side.What's more, the little mermaid is still young in appearance, although it tries to emphasize that it is much older than the little fisherman, at least it is an adult by human standards, and it is forced to call brother without any convincing.To have such filthy emotions towards an ignorant child, what is the difference between this and that young lady?

But there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him: Yes, you like it too, the way your partner likes it.

Thinking about it, the little fisherman buried himself in the quilt and closed his eyes tightly.Anyway, man and mermaid are different, maybe one day he dies, the little mermaid can live for a long time, and will always meet its kind in the sea.At that time, time passed, how could it remember itself as a passerby.He is already very good now, he will do his best to protect the little mermaid, and accompany him until the end of his life, maybe one day the little mermaid will grow up, get tired of him, and leave him early.

Then just live alone, the same as before.

Why not?
