I may be a dummy

In the huge sea city, there is a large group of colorful corals in the central city, with colorful colors, almost all colors are available.They live closely together like blossoming flowers, forming colorful "flower seas" on the coral reefs. 【Note】

On this coral reef, there is a group of spirit fish whose bodies emit light, and there are light emitters distributed in their bodies.At night, when they roam the sea city in groups, they look like a galaxy, like a dream.

Spirit fish like clean waters, and as the "cleaners" of the sea, they take on the task of cleaning the waters.Every night when the fish is quiet, they will drill out of the coral group and suck the residue in the seawater to keep the water area clean.

Dongchen held up Han Zhan's fish tail, stroked the cold scales with his fingers, and was about to clean the scales, but Han Zhan grabbed his hand.

Han Zhan frowned, with a look of disapproval, "I'll do it."

Dongchen blinked, "Why?" He pressed Han Zhan's scales with his palms, and said seriously, "My brother cleaned my scales all day long when I was a child, and I want to clean my scales for my brother too."

He still remembers that he loved to play when he was a child, and often played with Dong Kui and the others in the seaweed, and came back with dirty scales every time.However, the elder brother was never angry, he gently held his fish tail and cleaned the dirt on the scales for him.

Brother, he is the best fish for him besides his fathers.

In the past, his elder brother took care of him, but now that he has grown up, he can treat his elder brother well.

Staring at Dongchen's stubborn eyes, Han Zhan slowly let go of his hand, "Be careful to hurt your hand."

The scales of adult fish are very hard and sharp, and if you are not careful, you will be cut by the scales.

"It's okay, I'll just be careful." Dongchen smiled, just as a spirit fish swam past him, the faint light shone on his side face, showing a peaceful and beautiful face.

His fingers stroked the scales nimbly, and a small piece of black dirt appeared on his pink fingertips. Before Dongchen could see what it was, a spirit fish swimming over, opened his mouth to suck up the dirt.

Dongchen looked up at Han Zhan, thinking that his brother must have gone to roll in the mud of the seabed, otherwise why would the scales be stained with sea mud.

Dongchen knew that his elder brother was a mermaid who wanted to save face, and he definitely didn't want to be known by other mermaids, so he rolled in the mud.

Dongchen pretended not to know, and continued to clean the remaining scales for him silently.

It's just that when cleaning to a certain position below the lower abdomen, Han Zhan's body shook suddenly, and he grabbed Dongchen's wrist, his voice was slightly hoarse, "It's all right."

Dongchen felt the scales under his palm protrude and slowly open. He suddenly thought of something, and a blush appeared on the tip of his ear, spreading to the base of his ear. He quickly let go of his hand and stammered, "I, I didn't do it on purpose."

Han Zhan's body became inexplicably agitated. After the reproductive period, he rarely felt this way.When Dongchen touched the scale at that position this time, a fire suddenly lit up deep in his heart, making his blood hot.

But no, Chenchen is still underage, he can afford to wait.

"It's okay." From the corner of the eye, he saw Dongchen's red ear tips, and his heart was beating rapidly. He looked away uncomfortably, "The scales have been cleaned up, I can go back."

"It's ok." After finishing speaking, Dongchen looked at Han Zhan's protruding scale, then quickly turned his eyes away, and whispered, "Brother, don't you need to deal with it?"

In his memory, if a human stood up, he would relieve himself, but he didn't seem to have seen a mermaid relieve himself.

Confusion flashed across Han Zhan's eyes, as if he didn't know what Dongchen meant.

He was a little embarrassed, "It will disappear after a while, don't worry about it."

Well, it turns out that mermaids can't relieve themselves.

The two fish returned to the hut in silence, and went to sleep in their respective rooms.

Dongchen tossed and turned on the stone bed, unable to fall asleep, flicking his tail fin unconsciously, making waves.What he saw tonight, the scales protruding from the black fish's tail, kept coming to his mind.

After a long time, Dongchen covered her face, but she didn't know that her ears were already blushing.

Han Zhan leaned against the wall, listening to the movement in the next room, his dark eyes deepened.

It snowed heavily all night, and when they woke up the next day, the mermaids found that the sea was frozen.

Dongkui was overjoyed, thinking he could go skating again, he couldn't wait to call Suotu, Yuanxi and the others to go skating.

Suotu raised his ears, "You want to play all day, and you don't even look at your weight. Can the ice support you?"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Dong Kui grabbed Suo Tu's hand angrily, and bit it hard.

Suo Tu frowned, shook his hand, but failed to shake off, he calmly said: "Let go."

Dongkui stared at Suotu, but refused to let go.

Dongchen sighed and said, "Dongkui, you have to remember, you are no longer the little mermaid you used to be, be good, open your mouth."

Yuan Xi also persuaded him for a long time, and Dong Kui reluctantly opened his mouth.

There were obvious tooth marks on the back of Suo Tu's hand, faintly oozing blood.After all, Dongkui didn't bite hard, otherwise the sharp teeth of the mermaid could have snapped off Suotu's hand in an instant.

"Hmph!" Dong Kui snorted heavily, ignoring Suo Tu.

However, the two fish got into an awkward fight again, and no one paid attention to the other.

Yuan Xi patted the listless Dong Kui, "Why don't we wait for the ice to get thicker before we go to play."

Yuan Xi asked Suo Tu again, "Are you going to hunt today?"

"Go." Sotu said.

They didn't return to Haicheng until winter came. Although they caught a lot of sea beasts in the Great Trench, they still didn't have enough to last until the end of winter.So these two days they were out hunting and preparing to store some more food.

Passing through the dense kelp forest outside Haicheng, they saw a black-tailed mermaid swimming towards them dragging a sea beast.The black-tailed mermaid narrowed its eyes, curled up the corners of its mouth, smiled lazily and waved at them, "Dongzai, are you out to catch fish?"

Dong Chen's voice was clear and bright only for a teenager, and he said angrily, "Uncle Ai Rui, we agreed not to call me Dong Cub."

Ai Rui patted his forehead suddenly, "Didn't I forget?"

Yuan Xi next to him smiled warmly, "Uncle Ai Rui."

"Yuanxi is here too." Ai Rui threw the sea beast in his hand to him, "Take it back to eat."

The sea beast was still alive, flicking its tail violently, trying to escape, but Ai Rui flicked its tail and slapped it back, then turned its belly up and pretended to be dead.

Yuan Xi pursed his lips, and said shyly, "Uncle Ai Rui, no need, I will catch it myself."

"It was caught by your father Long Hui." Ai Rui raised his hand and rubbed Yuan Xi's hair, "He asked me to bring it back for you."

"Really?" Knowing that his father still cared about him, Yuan Xi couldn't help being happy, but soon, he worried again: "Is father's food enough?"

"Enough." Ai Rui turned his head to look at Dongchen and the others, "Go back too. There was a heavy snowfall last night, and those sea beasts had been hiding for a long time. I went out and walked around, only to see this one..." Ai Rui realized that he had slipped his tongue when he was halfway through speaking, so he quickly stopped.

Yuan Xi said "huh" and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ai Rui, isn't this the sea beast that Dad caught?"

"Don't think about it." When the lie was exposed, Ai Rui didn't blush, and he said calmly, "Go back quickly, Lei Zhe knows that you came back late, so he left food for you, if there is not enough food, go find He will do."

After speaking, Ai Rui drove them back this winter morning.

It snowed heavily for several days in a row, and it finally cleared up and the weather became warmer.Han Zhan asked Dongchen if he wanted to go for a walk on the island.

Dongchen nodded briskly and said, "Okay, I'll call Shang Dongkui and the others."

Han Zhan took his arm, "Let's go."

"ah?"

Han Zhan said firmly, "It's just the two of us, there is no one else."

Sensing that there seemed to be a wound on the palm of Han Zhan's grasping hand, Dong Chen suddenly grabbed his hand, "Brother, what's wrong with your hand?"

"It's okay." Han Zhan wanted to put away his hands.

Don't want Dongchen to hold his hand, "Let me see."

Looking down carefully, Han Zhan's slender fingers were well-knitted, and he clenched his fist tightly.

Dongchen opened his fingers, only to see blisters formed on the palm of his hand, obviously a sign of burns, Dongchen couldn't help becoming anxious, "Brother, why are your hands burnt?"

Han Zhan said indifferently, "A little injury."

"Brother doesn't love me too much." Dongchen pursed her lips, looking angry.

Han Zhan raised his finger and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's my brother's fault, Chenchen don't cry."

"I didn't cry." Dongchen immediately retorted.

"Well, Chenchen didn't cry." Han Zhan took his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to the island to play."

Dongchen shook his hand, seeing that Han Zhan didn't want to let go of his hand, he didn't mention it, so he just swam to the surface of the sea hand in hand.There was a thick layer of ice on the sea, and Han Zhan broke through the ice, "Wait for me, I'll go up first."

Han Zhan jumped onto the ice, and the black fishtails turned into legs, standing on the ice.The ice layer is very thick, and there is no problem walking on it with the size of an adult fish.

Han Zhan stretched out his hand to pull Dongchen up from the water.

Dongchen's eyes were right on the piece under the upper scales. Thinking of what he touched that night, he subconsciously turned his face away. In the past, even when his brother transformed into legs, he would not pay attention to the scales under the lower abdomen. What happened recently, it seemed that since that night, his eyes would always fall on those few scales inadvertently.

Dongchen lowered her head, not daring to look into Han Zhan's eyes, struggling inwardly, and spurning herself, how could he do this.

Suddenly a cold touch came from the tips of the ears, and Dongchen raised her head in fright.

"What are you thinking? Your ears are so red." Han Zhan's usual cold voice sounded from the top of his head.

Dongchen fanned the wind and blurted out, "It's too hot."

too hot?

Han Zhan had a strange expression. He grabbed Dongchen's arm and pulled him out of the water.

Dongchen changed his legs and walked on the ice staggeringly. He hadn't used his legs for a long time, and he was not used to it. "Brother, where are we going?" It hit Han Zhan in front of him on the back.

Dongchen hurriedly hugged Han Zhan.

Feeling that the strong muscles under the palms of the hands tensed up, and the back was covered with large and small scars, Dongchen couldn't care less about being shy, and was more distressed.

A clearing was cleared on the beach of the island.

Han Zhan said, "You wait for me here."

He returned to the water and caught two big-headed fish, knocked them unconscious, and disemboweled them.Having done this, he went into the island, took out the dry branches, and held two flints in his hand.

Seeing Han Zhan skillfully lighting a fire with flint, skewering fish with twigs, and grilling on the fire, Dongchen had an incredible guess, "Brother, are you going to learn how to grill fish these days? "

The blisters on my brother's hand should have been burned by the fire.

He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he said that he wanted to eat grilled fish, so his brother specially learned how to make a fire to grill fish for him.

Dongchen's eye sockets were filled with moisture, how could there be such a silly brother who treats him so well.
