good night my mermaid princess

All night, Sue tossed and turned in bed.

The years on the slave ship made her sensitive, easy to fall asleep but very light sleep.The slightest movement, such as the flapping of the curtains, would also wake her up.

But that didn't seem to be the case tonight.

I can't say what is on my mind, I always care about it.The dinner of the three of them ended in a bad atmosphere, which made her a little concerned.

She didn't quite understand why there was such a result, since she was clearly telling the truth.

At the same time, Ariel's last request made Su very embarrassed.As she said before, she didn't want to use too much subjective and self-experience to evaluate anything. She felt that if she told Ariel everything, she would definitely lose a lot of expectations for the world on shore.

It's hard to know if it's true, but it may make Ariel lose something she shouldn't lose.

unwilling.

Su turned over and got up, her mood was so up and down, she planned to go out for a walk.

A small flounder swam past Su's feet, and the sea at night was very leisurely.Today's weather should be very good, the shore and the sea are all covered, the sky is clear, and there is plenty of moonlight. The sea water is also very bright tonight.

The sea is different every day, and it feels different in the morning and at night. Many scenes during the day will become completely different under the light of night, hazy or mysterious, and even the water plants swaying with the waves have a low voice. illusion.

The amber palace walls also gradually became shallower and more transparent following Su's footsteps. The structure of the entire palace is very unique, showing the ever-changing sea to the greatest extent. Some of its corridor walls will change, Some living furnishings will also wander, making you feel that this palace is a real life that can breathe.

Every time the plant breathes, it will cause tiny eddies on the surrounding water surface. Su tried to touch it with his hands, not only could he see it, but he could also clearly feel it through his skin.Sometimes even when you walk a little slower, you will feel the ripples and ripples brought by the surrounding water.

When Su saw Ariel standing in front of the transparent palace wall, she thought so even more.

There is a kind of beautiful movement that is expressed by stillness, in which there are ever-changing changes.

The long, slightly curly hair, and the silver-white coat, combined with the moonlight penetrating to the bottom of the sea, have an indescribably beautiful brilliance.

She didn't move, but those details were full of flowing grace.

Being able to see such a beautiful scene made Su, who had always hated the night, feel a little better about the night.She didn't want to disturb this beauty, so she stood quietly at a distance of more than ten meters and stared quietly.

"Su?"

Sensing the change in the water flow, Ariel turned to look at Su.The azure eyes are different from when we first met, like the sea at night with a touch of melancholy.

"Come out for a walk if you can't sleep at night, and you, why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night?"

After being discovered, Su had no choice but to walk over. At a close distance, the outline of Ariel's face became clearer.

"I can't sleep, I thought about what you said today, and I want to see the sea."

"Is it because of loss?"

"No, confusion may be more accurate..."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Su thought, perhaps happy people should not know sorrow. In Oscar Wilde's fairy tale, the happy prince knew the suffering of the people, and in the end he would inevitably be melted into the iron furnace.

Ariel shook her head:

"It's none of your business. I won't be satisfied just because others have seen the beauty on the shore for me; I won't give up this idea because of others' warnings. I still want to see it, simply because I think, I want to get in touch with a world that is different from here, and I want to know whether what is missing here can be found there.”

After finishing speaking, Ariel smiled slightly at Su, with a kind of stability and firmness in her smile, and the tip of her hair flicked suddenly, making the windless seabed seem as if a wind had passed by.

The undisturbed beauty suddenly became soul-stirring, and Su suddenly felt that what was in front of him was not Ariel, but the soul deep in this palace.

This idea of ​​taking the lead for some reason made Su somewhat at a loss.

And Ariel didn't notice Su's embarrassment, she looked at Su unknowingly and extremely movingly:

"Do you still remember the words at the dinner table? I was wondering if understanding the world starts with understanding a person, seeing the world from her perspective. Now, would you tell me? Your world, your story."

She leaned over, and the moonlight reflected the clear outline of her face through the transparent arch, once again she unknowingly occupied Su's entire field of vision.

"Uh... Ariel, listen to me, this is not a good story." Su took a step back.

"There's no such reason." She smiled, her sea-like clear eyes are particularly bright tonight. "Grandmother said that the story is judged by the listener."

Her danger is not only her beauty, but also her beautiful voice. Some people are born to use their talents to ask questions without making people feel uncomfortable. The tenderness in the voice can also arouse your desire to talk.

A deliberate look mixed with naivety, this wonderful and inexplicably attractive mixture can only be possessed by a girl of this age.

Who could resist this beautiful bewitchment, Su almost agreed involuntarily, but she still held back.

"Every story has its wrong people."

Ariel pursed her lips: "I don't think I'm unsuitable."

Su returned it to her unchanged: "This should be judged by the storyteller."

Ariel lowered her head, her disappointment was obvious: "Well, everyone has the right to say or not to say."

Su looked at the dark sea outside the transparent wall: "So why are you so tired, why are you curious about human beings? If you have always lived on the bottom of the sea, human beings and you will be very far away. I have heard it as a story Isn't it all right?"

"But you are in front of my eyes."

Some answers were unexpectedly simple, she stared at Su:

"It's neither illusory nor far away. You who can confirm those curiosity and facts are right in front of me."

She took Su's hand.

Su quickly withdrew her hand, the temperature that came from that moment made her heart inexplicably anxious:

"It's not my fault, it's not that I want to be here, I don't want to be here at all."

A gleam of disappointment flashed in Ariel's eyes, and she couldn't see it soon.She said in a low voice:

"However, I am very grateful that you can appear here."

Su said sullenly: "Don't thank me all the time, there's nothing to thank, I haven't done anything."

Ariel was startled for a moment, and suddenly understood the annoyance in Su's words.

"Then do me a favor now, if you really don't want to say it."

"What is it?"

"Help read me some bedtime stories that are fun and not boring to fall asleep to."

Under the moonlight, her shallow smile is like the moon reflected in the lake.

"I have the habit of listening to stories before going to bed. I can't fall asleep without listening to stories. I didn't hear any of the stories my grandmother told me today, and tomorrow I have to go to other palaces with my sisters... It's not good to have dark circles... Of course, you can also lead me to my grandmother."

It sounds simple, Sue said: "I dare not take you to find grandma in the middle of the night, but if you read the story, it's no problem."

Ariel bowed her head in embarrassment and hummed: "Please, it's fine until I fall asleep."

The author has something to say:

When writing this paragraph, most of the time I was immersed in imaginary scenes, the mermaid princess under the moonlight in the sea...

If the words can bring one-tenth of the beauty of the scene in my mind, I will be satisfied.

ps: I don’t know why the sentences I write often change lines with symbols, or lead the next line, which really destroys the beauty and affects reading...

pps: Alas, there was obviously no blank line, but one sentence forced me to leave two blank lines, and the formatting obsessive-compulsive disorder had to attack again...
