good night my mermaid princess

【Three days later】

Ariel's flower garden is full of blooming flowers, and the newly planted flowers have a very short cycle, blooming brilliantly in just three days.

"It's still not right..."

Ariel was not very happy with its brilliance, and it still didn't seem to grow the color she wanted.

In the afternoon, she brought another bag of seeds, and it seemed that she was going to pull the flowers again.

"What color do you think it is?"

Ariel, who was plucking flowers, was startled by the sudden voice next to her.

"Red." Ariel said while looking at the strip of cloth in Su's hand.

"To be more specific, such as whether it is dark or light, it is the same as what color it is."

"Well, the light red is the same color as the ruby ​​chain on my wrist."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to show Su.

"Then what about this one?" Su got a flower out of nowhere.

"It's still light red, a little lighter than before. Hey, isn't this my sister's flower? You..."

"Shhh." Su made a small gesture, facing the Butler Eel who had just entered, and hid the flowers behind him.

"Do a good job."

"Well, I'm helping."

Fortunately, the flowers in his hand were not found, if he picked the princess's flowers at random, God knows what would happen.

Su squatted down with his hands behind his back, carefully placed the flowers on the ground, and motioned for Ariel to bury her head.

"?" Although Ariel had doubts, she still lowered her head obediently.

Su stretched out his palm towards her: "Look at this color, is it right?"

Ariel looked at her palm in surprise, and paused for a second:

"how do you know?"

There is a colored band in Su's palm, which looks like it was painted with some special paint.

"Your eyes can see more colors than other mermaids. It's not because of you that you can't find the right one. It's because of the merfolk who gave you seeds. The color you like is very close to bright red and scarlet, but it's both It is Venetian red. I don’t know if you have heard of such a term, anyway, not everyone can recognize it at a glance. I asked Grandpa Simon, and he said that there seems to be no flowers of this color in the sea.”

Ariel became a little frustrated: "It turns out that there is no such thing in the sea..."

"However, what you see in the sea is not necessarily the original color of the sun. If you want a real sun, the color in the sea is enough. Its light in the evening is the flower you planted last time."

"You were the first to find out, you know that I don't just like red, but I want a sun..."

"It's not that I'm sharp, it's that the mermaids around you are too stupid and slow—"

Why are you obsessed with a kind of red, why are you looking forward to the flower garden?

Just look up at the sky, just take a moment to think about it, it's very easy at all, she is replicating something that is of great significance to her, if it exists in the sea, just bring it, keep searching, It can only be said that there is no such thing in the sea.

It's not a difficult puzzle, as long as you think about it carefully, you can think of it.

Thinking of this, Su suddenly became aware of the possible reality: the mermaids around her might not be too stupid or dull, but rather unwilling to spend such a little time for in-depth understanding...

It was impossible to tell her, such a cruel reality, Su couldn't say it, so he had to shut up.

Ariel smiled, as if she had guessed what Su was thinking:

"Let them take it as simple paranoia about red."

"Is that okay?" Sue asked.

"Thank you." She didn't answer the question.

Su was stunned, she never thought of hearing her thank you again, every time she heard her thank you, the feeling was very complicated...

"Princess Ariel, there's nothing to be thankful for." Su said other things unnaturally, "Also, this flower has a very long flowering period, and it may take several months before it blooms."

"You can call me Ariel in private."

"Uh... alright." Su was a little confused about the rhythm.

The surrounding water flow changed quietly, Su thought it was the "wind in the sea".

"Sue, what's your full name?"

Su shook his head, almost everyone would get her name wrong the first time they heard it.

"It's not the abbreviation of Susan or Susanna. There is only one word Su. The Su in my name doesn't mean what you know. It is said that it is based on the similar pronunciation in my parents' hometown, which is the same as their last name."

China, Su surname.My mother once said that if you can't go back to your hometown, which is thousands of miles away, you will choose a name to miss it.

"Is your hometown beautiful?" Ariel asked.

"I think so. Otherwise Mom and Dad wouldn't always bring it up. I'd love to go see it too if I get the chance."

There are weeping willows and misty rain in Xiaozhou Bihu, which is completely different from the cracked earth full of yellow sand.Such a scene was depicted in the photo album brought by her mother, and Su had always been fascinated by it.

After a busy year, let's go back and have a look.

That's great, Mom!

The agreed scene is still vivid in my memory, but it has become the past and can no longer be realized...

"I'm very envious, I wish you a pleasant journey then."

"I also hope that……"

I have been looking forward to it so much, what will happen.Now the wish has become much smaller, how can I hope that I will be lucky enough at night, have such a beautiful dream, I can go to the place I want to go, and I can meet the person I want to see...

Su turned his head away, and when Ariel wasn't paying attention, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

"?" Su felt a little strange.

She was stunned by the not wet touch, and suddenly remembered that she was in the sea, and the sea was full of water, which was as salty as tears.

"It's so nice in the sea." She couldn't help sighing.

Tears can be hidden, thoughts can be concealed.

Ariel looked at Su thoughtfully, without saying anything, she lowered her head and turned over several flowers, and inexplicably handed Su a stamen.

"What is this?" Su didn't know her intention.

"Flower stamen, I'll suck it for you."

Su was sweating, the "foreign body" given by Ariel really didn't seem to be able to absorb...

Ariel glanced at Su, then picked one up and put it in her mouth.

Su Xin understood, closed his eyes and bit his tongue.

Unlike the messy taste as imagined, the tip of the tongue feels rich and sweet nectar, which is very sweet.

Su took a few more sips. She liked sweets very much when she was a child.

"It's so sweet." Su said, the sweetness in her mouth eased the bitterness in her heart a little.

Ariel handed another one to Su: "When I'm in a bad mood, eating something sweet will make me happy."

Su smiled and took it: "Me too, um, always have been."

It was a taste that was placed in the past like a memory. She hadn't tasted such a sweet thing for a long time. The food on the boat was either rancid or salty that made people lose their sense of taste.

Ariel thought for a while and said, "I think, you must love your parents very much."

"Well, the days with them are my happiest times."

Su thought, it would be great if there were no such things as the plague.She touched the crucifix around her neck again, the only thing they had left for her.

She was afraid that she would be uncontrollably sad again, so she shifted the topic to Ariel: "Where is your name? Does it have any meaning?"

"I don't know..." Ariel was caught off guard by the question.

"do not know?"

"...I have never met my mother." Ariel suddenly became very depressed.

Having said that, Su recalled that the last time Boya caused such a commotion, Sea King was reprimanded, Ariel was also involved, but Sea King's wife never showed up...

"It is said that he died because he gave birth to me and bled too much..."

Su looked at her.

She also looked at Su:

"It was the name I chose at that time, and it was different from what I had discussed with my father before. No one knew why it was this name, and no one knew what she thought..."

"No one knows?" Su was very surprised by this statement.

"Well," Ariel said softly, "she has been forgotten, no, she was already forgotten when she was alive. To this palace, she is just her father's wife who gave birth to six princesses, that's all. .”

She should be a very well-behaved and obedient princess, that's why she was chosen, and she never fought for anything from the beginning.

Ariel had guessed that her name was probably her only and last struggle. At the end of her life, the sorrow for the past surged up and stubbornly left her own traces, but the sad thing is that the only thing that can leave Only his own daughter's name was listed.

But the incomprehension left behind is still incomprehension. Leaving cannot change the meaning of the symbol. Those people would not and could not care more than when she was in the world. care about the answer.

The author has something to say:

Phew, better read it again.Fix all the bugs you see!

There are often changes in the settings when writing articles, and problems are prone to occur when the memory is not good... I have tried an outline, but I found that I am not a person who follows the outline at all... I remember very early when I made up my mind to write an article that is really useful. I got the outline, but it turned out to be too detailed, as if I wrote the whole article, and I also had the card outline syndrome...

Ah, sometimes the author will chatter suddenly, don't dislike me who is convulsed TT
