good night my mermaid princess

"Su, why do you always yawn, didn't you go to bed early yesterday?"

"It's like this, my sleep has always been very light, and sleeping for a long time does not necessarily guarantee a sound sleep."

The two of them were in the garden, everything that happened yesterday seemed to be only kept in a dream.

Ariel asked tentatively: "Then did you hear any sound...waking you up yesterday?"

Su worked as before, cleaning the flower beds: "Although I didn't sleep well, I didn't hear any strange sounds."

Ariel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you..." Su hesitated for a second, "It's nothing."

"Huh?" Ariel didn't understand.

"Looking at your state today, you must have slept soundly, so I don't think I need to ask any more." Su explained.

"That said, you seem to have woken up early this morning."

Su smiled wryly in his heart, it wasn't just because he woke up early and didn't close his eyes all night.Fortunately, the dark circles under my eyes are relatively heavy recently, and I can't see any difference.

Ariel stared at Su, her expression tangled for a while:

"...Did you peek at my observation diary?"

"How is it possible. How many times have you put it there, I haven't seen it..."

"you swear."

"I swear."

"That's good." Ariel felt relieved.

Su Jingjing: "What terrible thing did you write inside?"

"...It shouldn't be scary."

Su Wuyu: "Does your statement reassure the listeners?"

That sounded more like a hint of something definitely going on.

Ariel said, "Su, are you going to see Grandpa Simon again this afternoon?"

"kindness."

"I will go with you."

"Huh? Better say goodbye..."

Su thought, if Ariel knew that she was suffering from such a strange and serious illness, she would have to take supplements every day to support herself to death.

But who can stop the little princess in Neptune's palace, as long as the little princess is willing, she has a way to follow.

"Grandpa Simon." Ariel greeted Simon.

Grandpa Simon was quite surprised by Ariel's visit: "Why did you follow?"

"Well, Sue said that she will come to see a doctor in the afternoon. I think I haven't seen Grandpa Simon for a long time. Come and see."

"Small mouth is so sweet. I'm actually worried about Su's condition, right?"

"No, no." Although he said no, he had a seen-through expression on his face.

"Okay then, let's start the consultation."

Simon asked Su to sit in front of him, looked at her for a while, and asked:

"Looks like you didn't sleep yesterday?"

Ariel is still here, so Su Na could admit: "No."

"Really?" Fortunately, Simon didn't delve into it. He then asked, "Do you have any opinion on your illness?"

"No," Su said honestly, "I don't know how it happened either."

"Have you been thinking about anything these days?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Like a certain object, a certain setting, and a certain person."

All said.

Su tried hard to suppress his surprise, and said vaguely: "Yes, yes...Grandpa Simon, didn't you say that you need to do a detailed inspection, why are you just asking me questions?"

Simon pretended to be very sad and said: "I have to ask some questions first to confirm what kind of examination to do. Judging from your answers, it is very troublesome and terminally ill."

He intentionally made a bitter face, pretending to be in pain: "It's very difficult to cure..."

Both Ariel and Su had expressions of extreme shock: "It can't be cured?!"

Seeing the two of them being fooled for a while, Simon couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

"Anyway, congratulations, Sue."

This subsequent development made it difficult for Ariel and Su to turn around.

Ariel hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Simon, what's wrong with you? Are you all right!"

Su comforted him in turn: "It doesn't matter if it can't be cured, if Grandpa Simon goes crazy too..."

"Nonsense, I'm not crazy. Old man Simon was just joking with you. Su is not sick and is very healthy."

Su: "..."

Ariel: "..."

"You don't believe me?" Simon faced two deeply suspicious eyes, feeling a sense of tragedy in his heart.

"Grandpa Simon, don't make such a joke next time." Ariel said a little unhappy, "It's so scary."

"Yes, yes, hey, knowing that Su has someone he likes, the gratified old man got carried away for a moment."

"What...someone you like?" Su's heart sank.

Simon smiled: "Su, these symptoms of yours are not a disease, but a unique reaction when you like someone."

"..."

Ariel turned her head to look at Su, and was about to ask——

"Stop joking around." Compared with the terminal illness before, Su seemed to be more unwilling to accept this conclusion.

"Is it better to joke twice?" Simon stroked his beard.

"One time is enough! Grandpa Simon is really bad, too much!"

Su seemed to have received some major shock, and her voice was filled with unprecedented anger, full of anger.

"Didn't you think it would be like this?" Simon was very surprised by Su's innocence.

"how is this possible……"

"But it's really your case, don't you really think about it at all?"

"No, there must be a mistake somewhere." She became a little flustered, as if trying to hide something.Ariel felt that such an uneasy Su was both strange and familiar. She remembered that when Su was first kidnapped by the guards and felt that her life was in danger, she was only anxious to such a degree, and would frown unceasingly.

Simon said to Su: "The occurrence of the symptoms seems to be confusing, and the time seems to be out of sequence, but if you think about it deeply, they are not without commonality. I asked you if you were thinking about someone, and was there something wrong at that time?" Who is there, you have affirmed this statement from the side. The only reason that affects you is that person, can't you not notice it?"

Su struggled in denial: "No, not at all, not at all."

"Worrying, thinking too much, being happy and sad for the person you like, observing her involuntarily, occasionally feeling discouraged when the future of the relationship is confused, and feeling happy about the person's emotional tendency towards you. Isn't this Your symptoms?"

He pointed it out easily, but his clear smile seemed so cruel to Su.

"Isn't it?" he asked rhetorically, as if in the affirmative.

Su's entire portrait was nailed to a chair, and he couldn't move. These questions and statements became trials.

A voice rushed out of my heart.

She covered her ears.

"I don't want to listen."

she said so.

"There's definitely a mistake somewhere."

Su dropped those words and fled in despair.

Simon and Ariel were left in the hospital room, looking at each other.

"Isn't Grandpa Simon's words a joke at all?" Ariel felt that something was wrong with Su's reaction, but she couldn't tell what was wrong and why it was wrong.

Simon smiled bitterly: "No, really not."

"Is Su's reaction shy?" Ariel asked Simon.

If you don't understand the question yourself, just ask an adult.

"Uh, this kind of shyness seems to be a little too hard. However, it is not ruled out."

"Is Su angry?" It looks very similar on the surface, but there seems to be something wrong with being so sure...

"Ah, this is the most likely," Simon said with certainty, "Hey, I'll have to apologize later with my old face."

"Will you be angry if someone knows you like someone?" Ariel asked puzzled.

Su's reaction was beyond understanding.

Why do you feel ashamed, why do you feel ashamed, why do you get angry?

From my grandmother, from books, from the stories I have heard, liking someone is always joyful, thankful and happy, even if there is a little depression, but more often it will make people laugh sweetly of.

It shouldn't be this bitter.

Simon's answer did not solve her doubts, he just said: "Normally, it shouldn't be."

"Grandpa Simon, do you know who Su likes?"

"I don't know who it is, but it must be a mermaid. After all, we only have mermaids and fish in the sea, and I like fish... Maybe she can't accept that she likes mermaids."

Why did Su deny his feelings.If it is a love that makes you feel sweet, if it is a love that can be realized, what reason is there not to admit it?

It is reasonable to say that young girls can't wait to share their love, whether it is openly or secretly, but it is strange that Su is so stubborn and does not say anything.

"I don't think Su hates mermaids, she is very good with me..."

Simon touched Ariel's head: "Friendship is different from love, you will know one day."

"You mean, if I fall in love with a human one day, I can't accept him because he has no tail?"

"Well, it's possible. Or maybe the humans can't accept it. The humans on the shore don't accept the mermaid's tail so easily. You should have heard from your grandmother."

"Anyway, I still have to ask Su." Ariel won't just leave it like this, she is very simple and is used to finding answers.

"Don't ask." Simon shook his head, "at least you shouldn't ask."

"why?"

"If you can't empathize, you can't ask."

"but……"

Simon opened the medicine cabinet and took out the bottle with engraved words that Su accidentally saw that day.

"This is the experience of those who have been there."

He was playing with the bottle in his hand, with [No.53] engraved on one side, and [Ancisived] on the back.

He gently stuffed it into Ariel's palm:

"Let Grandpa Simon go. And Ariel, come, take it, and go to grandma to listen to a distant story."

The author has something to say:

It feels good to keep a chapter every day, and you must save up your morals~

ps: I feel that no matter how many times you proofread, there will always be unexpected problems... You can try to read it a few chapters later, uh... But it seems that it is not safe when the eyes are twitching... I am sorry for the author who is frustrated and likes to change ...
