clown clown fish

Shen Dong woke up very early today, earlier than usual, probably because yesterday he finally removed the things that fixed his ribs and the bandages on his body.

This feeling of sudden relief, like taking off the armor he wore for 24 hours, made him enjoy it very much. He enjoyed it in his dreams and dreamed of flying back and forth in the sky, but it didn't take long for him to kick his legs and arms in the sky like a swimmer , He plunged headlong to the ground and woke up.

He yawned and stretched fiercely, the unrestrained stretch on his body almost caused his back to cramp before reluctantly withdrawing the move.

But he found that there was no one around him, and he was lying on the bed alone.

During this time, Cao Mu was sleeping in his room. Anyway, Zhang San had seen Cao Mu go out of his room, so he didn't plan to hide any more. Uncle Chen never found out, and Uncle Chen was rarely on the island. Turn, I have no interest in other houses.

"Cao Mu." Shen Dong whispered, but no one responded.

Shen Dong got up and walked out the door. The sun had just emerged from the horizon, and the rays of light were bright and soft.

While moving his arms and legs, he ran towards the coral with small steps.

Cao Mu has always liked to sit on the reef and watch the sea, from before the sun rises to when the sun rises and hangs in the sky, he will always sit there.

Or turn into a fish and lie there.

But since Shen Dong took a picture of the golden clownfish and showed him, he no longer turned into a fish and jumped on the reef.

And it seems that he doesn't think his golden stripes are so beautiful, but he is a little depressed, and he feels that he is different from other clownfish, which is quite embarrassing.

When Shen Dong walked to the beach, Cao Mu was sitting shirtless on the reef, the golden sun shining on his wheat-colored skin looked very textured.

Hearing Shen Dong's footsteps, he turned his head and smiled at Shen Dong: "Why did you wake up so early, it's not time yet."

"I'll wake up without bandages." Shen Dong walked over and hugged his head and rubbed his hair twice, "Did you go into the water?"

"No." Cao Mu frowned.

"Why?" Shen Dong was a little surprised. It was said that he would stay in a daze overnight, and Cao Mu would go into the water to soak for a while the next morning, otherwise he would be very tired.

"They are here." Cao Mu pointed to the sea water.

"Who are you?" Shen Dong immediately became a little nervous. These things are what he is most afraid of now. If it wasn't for the difficulty of changing jobs, and Cao Mu is used to living here, he would have taken Cao Mu away long ago.

"Fish," Cao Mu said softly, put his arms around Shen Dong's waist again, and touched his back a few times, "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Mermaid?" Shen Dong lowered his voice.

"Ah."

"You mean the mermaid is in the nearby sea?"

"Ah."

Shen Dong stared at the sea for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual, but Cao Mu's words made him feel a lot of pressure: "Are they always there? It can't be that there are always mermaids in the sea next to this island! "

"I'm not usually here, usually there are no mermaids here." Cao Mu smiled, lifted his shirt, and kissed him on the stomach. "Before, it was only me, grandpa, and sister here."

"Why didn't other mermaids come over?" Shen Dong was quite curious.

"Because it's too close to the underwater cemetery."

Undersea cemetery.

A place that even mermaids don't want to get close to.

Shen Dong's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name. He had never been to this crappy place, and he didn't know what it was like. He only vaguely knew that mermaids would drag people to the cemetery, but Cao Mu and Hong Jie didn't agree with each other. I don't want to mention this place too much, it shouldn't be very wonderful.

"You don't want to go there again."

"Well, I'm not going."

The two were silent for a while, and Shen Dong suddenly remembered something: "We seem to have strayed from the topic."

"Ah?" Cao Mu was taken aback.

"I just wanted to ask you why all the mermaids came here."

"Because of me." Cao Mu laughed, with a bit of complacency in his smile.

"I'm begging you to see me." Shen Dong gave him a sideways look.

"Interview?" Cao Mu didn't understand, and some high-end vocabulary was still difficult for him.

"I just beg you to meet them, don't you?" Shen Dong asked. He said this very peacefully, but he had already made a decision in his heart. If this was the case, Cao Mu would dare to smoke anyone he saw. The man who passed the gun.

Whether you can smoke it or not is another story.

"No, it's just..." Cao Mu sighed softly, "They just stayed in the sea, neither talking nor leaving, I just can feel their presence."

Shen Dong didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, what does this mean?

So Cao Mu just sits here and communicates with them with his sixth sense every day?

"What are they going to do?" Shen Dong asked after thinking for a long time.

"Wait until I change my decision."

Not every mermaid has the ability of Cao Mu. Most mermaids are just ordinary fish. Even if they have stronger power, more communication methods, and higher speed, compared with humans, It is still weak.

Once people like Liang Feng discover their existence, their fate will be rewritten.

Cao Mu's ability is a precious and powerful protection for them.

But Cao Mu chose to leave the mermaid and just be an ordinary idiot basking in the sun by the sea, guarding an ordinary human being and not participating in anything related to the mermaid.

It's hard to accept.

Shen Dong squatted beside Cao Mu. From another angle, if he was a mermaid, it would be unacceptable to make such a decision in front of His Majesty the Prince.

But what can we do with this matter? He has selfish intentions. The mermaid world once had such a scale intersection with him, but if there is no Cao Mu, they will have their own lives after all.

It was also because of Cao Mu, he got to know Cao Mu, and after getting to know Cao Mu a little bit, it was impossible for him to let him go back to the mermaid world to be the savior prince.

Didn't Cao Mu's grandfather also have the same wish?

"What are you going to do?" Shen Dong squatted until his legs became a little numb before asking again.

"See if you agree or not." Cao Mu turned to look at him, it seemed that he had already had an idea.

"tell me the story."

"I'll go down and meet them, okay?"

Shen Dong stood up suddenly, and almost blurted out a sentence of no, but he pressed it firmly under the base of his tongue, but if he said no, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Forget it, they won't come up." Cao Mu was taken aback by Shen Dong's movement, and immediately changed his mind.

"No, wait for me to think about it." Shen Dong looked at Cao Mu.

"Oh, I thought you were going to scold someone."

"As for what, I'm a reasonable person."

"……Oh."

Shen Dong was jumping up and down on the rock beside Cao Mu, thinking.

His real thought was that he was unwilling to let Cao Mu go, but he certainly couldn't say that.He is not Cao Mu's master, nor is he Cao Mu's parent. He has no right to ask Cao Mu to do so.

But he was also afraid, he didn't know if Cao Mu would come back after he left, and what would happen when he came back.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, he finally stopped, squatted in front of Cao Mu, stared at Cao Mu's face for a long time: "Cao Xiaomu."

"Ah."

"Go, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

"Really?" Cao Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This looks really good, Shen Dong almost wants to hug him and yell, of course it's not true!

"Really." He nodded.

"Okay then," Cao Mu stood up from the rock, "you wait here for me, Zhang San is on duty today, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I can go to the duty room?"

"Ah."

"Come and cook the noodles, the noodles made by Zhang San are really unpalatable." After Cao Mu said this, he jumped into the sea water without waiting for Shen Dong to speak.

It was still the amazing jumping and graceful arc, every time he wanted to get scared in front of Shen Dong, he would jump into the sea like this.

Shen Dong smiled, originally he wanted to explain a few more words, but Cao Mu didn't give him the chance.

In fact, it should be like this. Cao Mu just wanted him to know that this was to meet friends, then go out, and come back for lunch.

What else is there to say.

Shen Dong had to move around after sitting on the reef for a while. He didn't have the good concentration of Cao Mu. If no one disturbed him, Cao Mu could sometimes sit like this for several hours, probably because of his peace of mind.

He took off his clothes, sat on the reef, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing.

It's been a long time since I went down to see the coral.

It's been relatively calm lately, and the corals are all intact, but they look the same as they did a month or two ago.

Shen Dong slowly swam above the corals. He remembered every coral clump, and he had been paying attention to them since the day they were planted.

There are quite a few small fishes living in the coral clumps, because no one harms them here, so they are not afraid of people. When Shen Dong swims over, these small fishes swim around with peace of mind.

Shen Dong never paid attention to these colorful little fishes before, but now he would think of Cao Mu, Cao Mu also used to swim back and forth with his tail like this, but he never noticed it.

He looked at these small fish carefully, even though Cao Mu said that there would be no other mermaids here, these should be ordinary tropical fish, but Shen Dong still had a different feeling.

He stretched out his hand to tease a small fish that approached him, and the fish quickly avoided it.

He smiled, if he teased the fish like this before, would he find a clownfish that would not hide, but would circle his hand and play hide-and-seek with him?

When the gas was almost used up, Shen Dong slowly turned around and prepared to float to the surface.

The water behind him changed somewhat differently from the frequency of the ocean waves. He instantly remembered the scene of being attacked in the water before, and he was about to break out in a cold sweat. He turned around quickly.

A face was already stuck behind him, and after turning around, it was less than half a meter away from his eyes. Behind this face was a mass of black shadows, and it was impossible to see what it was.

He was so frightened that he almost roared in the water, and he didn't bother to take a closer look, so he kicked towards the face, stepped on it accurately, and then used the force of stepping on the face With a sudden upward leap, he jumped out of the water.

He only had time to take a breath, and swam desperately towards the shore. Fortunately, his injury was healed, or he could wriggle like a loach by himself, so he wouldn't die in a hurry!

"Shen Dong!" A roar suddenly came from behind, "You are blind!"

Shen Dong was startled at first, then froze, stopped his frenzied paddling and turned his head: "Hong Jie?"

"It's so close, can't you even tell it's me!" Hong Jie wiped his face.

"Damn!" Shen Dong also yelled, "I thought you were crazy at first! Then I thought you were faking it! Now it seems that you are crazy and didn't run away!"

"You can't feel such a big movement when I swim over!" Hong Jie slapped the surface of the water.

"If I could be that sensitive, I wouldn't be human anymore, I'd at least be a commoner mermaid!" Shen Dong was a little annoyed, and this frightened him enough.

But as soon as the mermaid was mentioned, he immediately thought of Cao Mu again, and he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Hong Jie, so he swam to the shore and climbed onto the reef a few times.

After getting dressed, Hong Jie also climbed up wrapped in a dripping outfit.

Shen Dong looked at the sun, Cao Mu had been in the water for almost two hours, and he didn't know how the situation was going.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Dong shook the water off his head.

"Turning around in the sea, I came over to say hello when I saw you, and I didn't want to be trampled on the face." Hong Jie shook his clothes, lifted the blindfold and poured out the water inside.

"Aren't you awesome, why didn't you dodge that kick?" Shen Dong felt chills down his spine when he thought that Hong Jie could do the killer job so perfectly even though he was injured.

In fact, Hong Jie looked very kind, not tall, nor aggressive, let alone murderous, and had nothing to do with what he did that night.

Sometimes Shen Dong wondered if Hong Jie also had a twin brother, usually one was in charge of going crazy and the other was in charge of protecting the mermaid.

"It's not like I'm tense 24 hours a day. Who would have thought that you would kick me," Hong Jie grinned, "Besides, I won't die if you kick me. I want to avoid it. You kicked me so hard. Empty, definitely twist your waist."

"Thank you then," Shen Dong didn't know what to say, "You know that Cao Mu went into the water, right?"

"Well, he has to go for this matter." Hong Jie nodded.

"Let me ask you," Shen Dong said in a low voice, "How many are those mermaids? They won't be able to reach an agreement and detain Cao Mu, right?"

Hong Jie was overjoyed, and laughed for a long time before saying: "You are a fish, you are a mermaid. How many can there be? In such a big sea, there are only a dozen or so. If there are so many, wouldn't people have discovered it earlier?" .”

"Oh." Shen Dong thoughtfully replied.

"Besides, as long as Cao Xiaoyu wants to leave, no one can hold him back. He has already made up his mind, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I know." Shen Dong sighed, he understood the reason, and he also knew that Cao Mu would not leave, but... he was afraid of losing.

He had lost his parents, his previous memories, and his most important sense of security, and he really couldn't bear to lose Cao Mu again.

Cao Mu emerged from the sea and saw Shen Dong sitting on the rock from a distance. He jumped out of the water and waved vigorously at Shen Dong.

Shen Dong seemed to be in a daze and didn't see him.

He was a little anxious, there was still a while to swim, and he couldn't wait.There was no one around, so he jumped out of the water even higher, drawing a long arc in the air before falling back into the water.

But Shen Dong didn't know whether he was in meditation or sleeping, and he still didn't respond.

After Cao Mu jumped out of the water three or four times in a row, he felt a little helpless. The dolphins were not as vigorous as him, and Shen Dong couldn't see it!

He had to go back into the water and waved his hand in the direction of the shore.

A few seconds later, a wave slowly surged up, higher than the others and much faster. This wave quickly rushed to the shore and hit the rock where Shen Dong was sitting. It splashed all over Shen Dong's body.

This time Shen Dong finally reacted and jumped up from the rock.

When Cao Mu saw it, he quickly jumped out of the sea with all his strength, and waved his arms fiercely in the air twice. If Shen Dong still couldn't see him, he would throw Shen Dong into the sea when he went ashore.

Shen Dong finally took a look this way, Cao Mu jumped again, Shen Dong followed suit, and waved to him at the same time.

I saw it.

Cao Mu returned to the water contentedly, and quickly swam towards Shen Dong.

When he was still tens of meters away from Shen Dong, Shen Dong jumped into the sea and swam towards him.

"Baby Cao!" Shen Dong shouted while swimming.

"Baby Dong!" Cao Mu also shouted.

Shen Dong froze for a moment, this was the first time Cao Mu called him that. In the past, Shen Dong Shen Dong called him by name directly, but he almost couldn't react when he suddenly heard the name Dong Bao'er.

Cao Mu swam to Shen Dong's side within a few strokes, and hugged him cheerfully.

"Solved?" Shen Dong held his face and watched carefully.

"Yeah." Cao Mu nodded, with a faint look of disappointment in his eyes, after all, those were his kind, but the expression on his face was still very happy.

"That's good." Shen Dong didn't ask in detail, there is no need to inquire about such a matter, he only needs the result.

"What were you thinking just now?" Cao Mu took him to swim to the shore, "I jumped for a long time and you didn't look at me."

"I dozed off. I sat there for more than three hours. If you don't come back, I probably lie down and sleep." Shen Dong laughed, "Have you been dancing for a long time?"

"Yeah! You kept jumping and waving, but you didn't see it." Cao Mu was a little dissatisfied.

"Oh, I missed such a heroic figure." Shen Dong was in a good mood, and touched Cao Mu's buttocks in the water, "Let me see by jumping a few more times."

"In the future." Cao Mu jumped ashore.

"Yo, it's still installed." Shen Dong followed and climbed up.

Cao Mu turned around and looked at Shen Dong seriously.

Shen Dong originally wanted to tell him to get dressed, but seeing his expression, he didn't speak, waiting for him to speak.

But Cao Mu didn't make a sound and just stared at him.

Shen Dong had no choice but to continue to look at him.

After staring at each other for several minutes, Shen Dong couldn't bear it any longer. He took a breath and was about to remind Cao Mu that he didn't have the function of mind communication. Cao Mu suddenly smiled.

"Shen Dong." He said with a smile.

"Ah?" Shen Dong responded, and didn't call him Baby Dong anymore?

"I'll be with you every day from now on, and I won't go anywhere."

"it is good."

"If you don't want to stay here anymore, I'll go with you."

"it is good."

"It's over."

"It's gone?"

"No more, I don't know what else to say, isn't it enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough."

The sun rose and covered his whole body with warmth, Shen Dong felt that his heart was warmed all the way to his whole body.
