[An Lei] Return to the Sea [Bump Doujin]

Ah owe!The nagging An Mixiu was woken up from a dream by a sneeze—didn’t he have a cold...why did he sneeze again...

He looked at the dots of starlight leaking from the gaps in the wooden deck above through his sleepy eyes, and rubbed his dark brown hair in a daze——the weather seems to be good tomorrow, but he still hopes that the ship will go faster ah……

"—I really want to see you sooner...Master..." An Mixiu murmured, turned over the old quilt that still smelled of sunshine and sea breeze, and fell into a dream again in a daze.

The big man outside the door who was in charge of watching the night on the ship couldn't help but glance at An Mixiu who was sleeping peacefully in the cabin. The faint starlight sneaked in with his movement of opening the door to illuminate An Mixiu's face.

Still just a kid.The big man sighed, watching An Mixiu couldn't help but curled up in a sleeping position and carefully closed the door with slightly frowning brows—I wish you a sweet dream, young man.

The next day was expected to be fine weather, and the people on the boat were also happy about it. An Mixiu heard them say that they could go farther and guessed that they might be travelers.

Farther away... An Mixiu was lying on the railing, looking at the direction of his master a little confused - it is indeed impossible for him to stay on the bottom of the sea forever, after all he has lived on the mainland for a long time, even if he is the sea My children can't help but miss life on land.

He regards the sea as his hometown, and wants to go far away on land—he is a sea monster, and his life is very long. It is better to come to land than to live on the seabed for decades.

After all, he is still different from ordinary sea monsters. He spends more time as a human on land than as a sea monster in the sea.

He is more used to being a human, but he does not deny his identity as a siren.

He did not hide his desire from his parents. His parents still had some worries, but they also knew that there was no way to stop him.

But Irina was still worried that her child would be in danger on land, her tears turned into pearls and rolled around in the water, and some faint luminous objects through the deep sea turned into stars in the night.She carried her child into the sea with a choked voice: "Child, mother will not stop you, but you have to know one thing-never, never fall in love with humans, you know? You must not fall in love with them! They are too much Sly - there are still good people in there but you really can't fall in love with them!"

The father gently took his wife into his arms with him, and explained in a slightly sad tone: "My child, there is another reason why we cannot fall in love with humans—that is, the lifespan of humans is too short, and we The lifespan of human beings is almost ten times, hundred times or even thousands of times theirs, so falling in love with humans is a very sad and painful thing, and we don't want you to do it."

"But we won't stop you from going on land." Father stroked his dark brown hair with a broad light green webbed hand, and smiled gently at the corner of his mouth: "After all, you grew up on land and belong to the sea." My child, we just need you to remember a few points: first, you must not stay in one place for too long; second, come back often, that’s all we ask for.”

"The first is because you have to know that our lifespan is very long. As long as the mermaids reach adulthood, their appearance will not change. Human beings' desire for longevity is far beyond our imagination. If it is discovered They will desperately snatch the secret of your eternal life—they will become very scary at this time."

"You can repeat the location, but there must be a long time interval in between - the life span of human beings is too short, maybe when you first saw that person was just a little freckled face with braids Girl, then the next meeting may be just a wisp of dust, life and death are determined by God, this is an irreversible fact."

"Second, you must come back. No matter where you go, only the sea is our hometown. We are here waiting for you to come back. You can share with us everything you have experienced on land—but we I won’t go with you, absolutely not, and absolutely not.”

"We are the real sea people. We have hardly left the sea since we were born. We were born here and grew up here. We are used to this vast expanse of blue, but you are different—you were born on the bottom of the sea, Growing up on land, you are suitable for living on land, which is different from us."

"An Mixiu," his father said in a serious tone, his lake-green eyes were full of worry, "you will have no one to accompany you for a long time, you will be lonely, will you have no one?" Someone to confide in, even so, you still want to go to land?"

An Mixiu was silent but nodded very firmly, and then he saw his father smiled in satisfaction, and pulled himself and his mother into his arms with all his strength, his slightly lowered eyes gently hid his comfort, reluctance and tenderness: "Elena, don't cry, we should be relieved that the child has made his own decision, shouldn't we?"

"...Hmm!" The mother smiled, wiped away the unformed pearls from the corners of her eyes and smiled at him, "May you be safe my child, and the sea will bless you."

TBC.
