The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"I thought I had made my words very clear at that time." Lei Boding looked at Noel, who was leaning on the reef and trying to pretend that he didn't care, and said calmly.

"What is so clear?" Noel looked at Lei Boding, inexplicably, he wanted to mess around this time, just this time.

"You and I, it's impossible." Lei Boting understood that if he hesitated at this time, everyone would be hurt, "So, I think you should understand what I mean, and you should stop bothering me after seeing yesterday's scene. Bibi."

That intimate address was like a long needle with a cold light, piercing Noel's heart fiercely, causing him pain, and he looked at Lei Boding stubbornly, "Since you like him so much, then Why didn't you come out just now, but hid and listened to our conversation."

"I didn't hide and eavesdrop. I didn't come out because I thought Bibi could solve this problem. I trust him." Lei Boting shook his head and explained.

The gradual trust and love for Derby on Lei Boding's face was extremely dazzling in Noel's eyes. Perhaps the alcohol he just drank had an effect, and Noel lost his usual calmness and self-control. Burtin shouted, "What's so good about Derby to deserve your single-minded devotion? He's just a useless blemish—"

"Shut up!" Noel's words were stopped by Lei Boting sternly before he could speak. Very stern, "Don't accuse my lover in front of me, I will be very angry, really angry."

After saying these words in a heavy tone, Lei Boting took a long breath, as if trying to suppress the anger in his heart, he patted the fine sandy ground with his tail fin lightly, and then raised his head to look at the stunned Noel, "You, or someone else, no matter which mermaid, all you see are appearances, and you only want to believe the appearances you see. You wishful thinking that Derby is not good or bad, and even think that The combination of Derby and me is to climb me. But I have to say that Derby is good, and people with such a mentality will never find out. Sometimes, when I look at Derby’s sleeping face, I will be secretly happy, because None of you found him good, only I found out, so I was able to pursue Derby so smoothly and let him and I become a partner. Every time this time, my heart will always be filled with something similar to joy, gratitude and happiness Intertwined moods. As the saying goes, a slap can’t be clapped, but feelings are mutual. The reason why I am happy, and the reason why Derby said he is happy, is because we love each other, that’s all. Pure love actually has very little space, It's so small that it can only accommodate two people, and it can't accommodate a third person anymore, do you understand?"

Seeing the back of Lei Boding turning away, watching him disappear before his eyes, Noel let go of his clenched fist, and the blood flowing from the palm cut by the sharp nails also flowed down the fingers. Points dropped one by one to the ground.

At this moment, Noel couldn't feel the pain, he only felt the sadness and ridiculousness in his heart.He didn't understand why he went forward to humiliate himself when he clearly saw the love between Lei Boting and Derby. Is it the obsession caused by the deep shadow left in his heart after the first meeting or because he saw what he had done? The loving merman feels insulted by the fact that he is married to a female who is so ugly and even flawed?

Noel didn't know, and couldn't get the answer. He only knew that the first time he saw the picture of two mermaids close together, it hurt his eyes and hurt his heart. The intentional avoidance made him feel even more bitter.But in normal times, such emotions are suppressed by the proud and self-reliant Noel.Yes, Noel is proud. He is the hot pursuit of those single mermaids in his tribe. He has a beautiful appearance, the scales of his tail are tight and shiny, and the pearls of his eyebrows are bright but not dazzling. The silk yarn produced is also praised by the tribe.All these things made him have the capital and the right to be proud.However, it was the first time that he fell in love with a mermaid so much, and was hit by such a blow for the first time, which made Noel have to resort to the unique wine of his own clan to numb his nerves, and only after the nerves were paralyzed, Noel Only then did today's action be impulsive, and with the instigation of alcohol, Noel would indulge in those hurtful words that Noel, who is usually calm, would never say, because he felt aggrieved, so he wanted to To vent, occasionally my clear mind connives at my behavior by accident.

But today, such a conversation that failed to win in front of anyone made Noel extremely sober. It is true that Derby has so many flaws, but Noel understood from his neither humble nor overbearing attitude. The defense and confidence of this relationship.It was also at this time that Noel discovered that Derby was far from being as timid and gloomy as those mermaids described. When he mentioned his lover and family, the look on Derby's face was astonishing. I have to admit, it's charming.

As for Lei Boding, when he thought of the mermaid who stood in front of him without hesitation and showed his attitude again, Noel's eyes were a little sour, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little self-deprecating.He was so determined to smash the little fantasy in his heart, and told himself his mind so clearly, he was not willing to hesitate at all.Facing such a Lei Boding, Noel, who has his own pride, how could he lick his face and move up?

Those rational thoughts gradually returned, and the flushing on his face and the mist in his eyes gradually dissipated. Noel sat alone on the reef for a long time, and then calmly left the place where he buried his first emotion. place, turned and left without looking back.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. Here Noel has sorted out his heart, and Lei Boding has also returned home.

Glancing at the two unpacked cups of tea that were still on the table, Lei Boting pursed his lips and went straight to the bedroom, but to Lei Boting's surprise, Derby was not there. The studio found Derby who was weaving gauze. He hugged Derby from behind and asked softly, "Why do you want to weave gauze?"

Derby's expression remained unchanged, as if Noel hadn't been here at all just now, "It's nothing, I feel a little bored."

"Really? Are you bored? Let's go out for a stroll, shall we?" Lei Boting stretched out his hand to smooth Shun Debi's soft hair, and asked with a smile.

"Go out? Where are you going?" Derby thought he was going to the sea to bask in the sun, and asked casually.

"Secret." At this moment, Lei Boding played tricks, but after answering a sentence, he turned around and began to pack his things.

Derby saw that Lei Boding even picked up the golden scallops prepared for the baby, which made him stand up and swim to Lei Boting's side, "What are you... What are you doing? Why are you going out? Do you want to take this?"

"Didn't you say go out to relax, of course you have to bring this." Lei Boting's hands kept moving.

"Yes, it's to go out to relax." Derby said more and more confused, "but what are you doing with this? We just go to the sea to bask in the sun."

"Who told you to go to the sea to bask in the sun?" Lei Boding turned to look at Derby.

"Isn't it?" Derby was confused.

"Of course not." While speaking, Lei Boding had already packed up his things, and then held Derby's hand, "We are going to stay in a place for two days, in case our baby can't wait to meet us and come early When you come to this world, you have to bring golden silk shells with you.”

Seeing Lei Boding's promises, Derby became more and more confused, "Ray, why can't I understand what you are saying? Stay? Where are you going to stay? Why do you want to spend the night outside?"

"Because there are too many mermaids, I have a headache, and I want to go out and have some free time." Lei Boding didn't stop pulling Derby to swim forward when he was talking, and Derby was used to obeying Lei Boding's words, so he really let Lei Boding Pulling himself forward did not raise any objections.

Before leaving, Derby still asked worriedly, "We're leaving like this, what should Raffle and the others ask you for something?"

Lei Boting waved his hand, "Don't worry, I left them a note, it's all right."

"Oh." Hearing what Lei Boding said, Derby stopped talking.

Lei Boding just carried a big golden shellfish, and packed some small odds and ends in the small bag made of Derby's silk gauze, like a migrant worker in the modern society, taking his wife and daughter to the sea .

It's not like Derby didn't raise his doubts on the way, but he was fooled by Lei Boting, so in the end, Derby simply didn't say anything, and followed Lei Boding with peace of mind, anyway, he couldn't have sold himself .

The two swam quite a distance, passed by the reef where they used to chat with Cheng Chi, passed by the place where they usually floated on the sea to bask in the sun, passed by the place where they played with dolphins, until the end, Lei Boding He took Derby and stopped in front of the wall of a house built on the sea, "Okay, here we are."

"What is this?" Derby looked at the wall made of hard stone, and was a little confused about the situation for a while.

Lei Boding took Derby's hand, and stretched out one hand into the sea water. Amidst the slow and low sound of rubbing stones, the stone wall actually moved aside, and finally a white house appeared in Derby. in front of the eyes.

Lei Boting looked at Derby's wide eyes, and the smile on his face deepened. He put a hand on his left chest, gave Derby a gentleman's salute, and said loudly, "My dear Bibi, welcome To our home, home on land."
