Pretend to be a fish and eat the boss [Interstellar]

Of course, Xin Chen didn't go to the bathroom, he went back to find the heartthrob.

"Why did you come back by yourself?" The heartthrob hooked her lips and showed a playful smile.

"Well, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Xin Chen said with difficulty.

"Tell me." The heartthrob approached Xin Chen curiously. It's really strange that this little thing didn't go to Shang Xilou, but came to him instead.

"I don't want Xilou to participate in the auction anymore, but I said I won't listen to him, can you scare him and make him give up." Xin Chen also felt that Shang Xilou was not someone who would be frightened, but he really couldn't think of anyone else. The only way to do this is to seek help from heartthrobs in a hurry.

Sure enough, the heartthrob shook his head and refused, "He is not someone who can shrink back when he is frightened. He almost died. Do you think he is scared?"

Xin Chen looked at the heartthrob, and said anxiously, "But I'm afraid, what if it happens like this again."

"Do you not believe in my ability? Last time was definitely an accident. I didn't expect that bull horn to be such a woman, and she would take revenge for such a trivial matter." The heartthrob said a little annoyed.

Xin Chen looked at the heartthrob, knew that the other party would not help him, and lost all his remaining energy, so he lowered his head and let out a sigh, and raised his feet to leave.

"Wait." Looking at Xin Chen like this, the heartthrob unexpectedly felt a little sympathetic, "Little thing, there is only one way to prevent him from participating in the auction."

Xin Chen turned his head in surprise and asked, "What can I do?"

"You die," said the heartthrob.

Xin Chen was stunned, he never thought that the heartthrob would give him such an idea, he asked stupidly, "Why?"

The heartthrob pouted, and explained patiently, "It's not to buy mermaid candy for you, why did he participate in the black market auction."

"But...but..." Xin Chen wondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

"Okay, okay, I'm joking, you should go back and take care of Shang Xilou." The heartthrob waved his hand, and felt that his method was a bit funny.

Xin Chen didn't leave, and it took a long time before he said, "I'm going to die without mermaid candy."

"Yes, yes, so are you stupid? Why did you persuade Shang Xilou not to participate in the auction? He didn't go because of you." The heartthrob said.

"However, if he participates in the auction, Xilou may die. If he dies, and I don't have mermaid candy, I will still die." Xin Chen said.

The heartthrob admired this logic, and said helplessly, "Little thing, as I said, I will protect Shangxilou."

"Can you protect this time, every time? If I want to live, I will always need mermaid candy, and Xilou will always participate in the auction." Xin Chen said in a questioning tone.

The heartthrob's look darkened suddenly, he sneered, and said mockingly, "So, you also know that you are the root of the problem, so come to ask me what I am doing."

Xin Chen was only a little excited to say such a thing, and he immediately lowered his head and remained silent after being stunned by thousands of people.

After a long time, the heartthrob suddenly sighed, "Little thing, I have seen too many mermaids die. Or, I don't know where you are from, but I know that it is difficult for you to live, no matter in Whether you can see the light or not, it's hard to find mermaid candies."

Xin Chen raised his head and looked at the fancier in confusion.

The heartthrob twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a wry smile, "A little mermaid told me that being a mermaid is original sin."

Xin Chen doesn't understand what original sin is, but he knows that for his own sake, Shang Xilou will always participate in the auction and will always be in danger.

"Then, can I die now?" Xin Chen asked.

"Okay, little thing, I shouldn't be talking nonsense to you, you should go back quickly, or Shang Xilou will come looking for you later." The heartthrob felt that he was probably fooled by the horns, why would he say such nonsense to Xin Chen s things.

Xin Chen raised his head and looked at the heartthrob seriously, "Help me, I don't want Shang Xilou to participate in the auction anymore."

The heartthrob looked at Xin Chen and remained silent.

***

Shang Xilou waited in the room for a long time, but did not see Xin Chen coming back, so he was worried for a while.But he had a lame leg, and it was inconvenient to find him, so he could only sit on the bed, frowning and waiting.

When Xin Chen came back, Shang Xilou had already drank three glasses of water, and his anger level soared, but seeing Xin Chen cautiously pushed the door in, the anger was instantly extinguished.

"Going to the toilet is so slow." Shang Xilou complained without complaining.

Xin Chen smiled, walked to Shang Xilou, put his head on Shang Xilou's shoulder, and did not speak.

"What's wrong?" Shang Xilou asked worriedly.

Xin Chen shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Sensing something was wrong, Shang Xilou pulled Xin Chen over and asked sternly, "To be honest, don't you tell lies?"

Xin Chen looked at Shang Xilou, his eyes were so dry that he could hardly shed tears, but seeing Shang Xilou's tense expression, his eye sockets were still wet, "I don't feel very good."

"What's not good." Shang Xilou looked at Xin Chen, his heart was filled with an emotion called panic.

"I think I might be dying." Xin Chen didn't feel that he was dying, he was sure that he was dying.He knew that if he didn't die now, Shang Xilou would definitely participate in the next auction, so he could only ask heartthrob to help him die quickly.The heartthrob gave him an injection to accelerate cell division. For ordinary people, this can promote their wound healing, but for Xin Chen, this will accelerate his death.

"It's okay, the next auction will start soon, and I will help you buy the mermaid candy." Shang Xilou hugged Xin Chen in his arms and comforted him softly.

"En." Xin Chen hummed, leaning against Shang Xilou's arms, feeling both sweet and bitter in his heart.The sense of security and happiness is still there, but it is accompanied by strong reluctance.He felt that he should say something, say goodbye to Shang Xilou.

"Xilou, didn't you promise your parents to go home during the summer vacation?" Xin Chen couldn't think of the words to say goodbye, so he could only start talking nonsense.

"There are so many summer vacations, this one is not bad." Shang Xilou didn't even think about going home, he only thought about how to keep Xin Chen alive.

"How nice it is to go home, I don't even have a home." Xin Chen didn't know until he was in human society that there is such a thing as a home, and there are people who will never leave you.

"Why don't we have a home? Aren't we just a family? We'll go home when the mermaid candy is photographed." Shang Xilou said, reaching out to stroke Xin Chen's face, only to feel cold. "Xin Chen."

Ok?

Xin Chen heard Shang Xilou calling him, but he couldn't respond.

The vitality is passing away rapidly, and he is dying.But he still doesn't want to die, he wants to live, he still wants to eat a lot of food and go to a lot of places.He still wants to be with Shang Xilou, to show Shang Xilou his beautiful tail, to hug Shang Xilou, and to go home.

In an instant, Xin Chen suddenly understood that sentence.

Being a mermaid is the original sin.

He shouldn't have existed.Xilou said that there are no mermaids in the human world.
