There's a mermaid in my bathtub

Full of curiosity and desire to try all new things, the four eyes met, and the mermaid tightened his grip on his wrist.

"Then let's take a few photos together. Is your friend... a mixed race? The eyes are so beautiful... Can we take pictures with a camera? Just leave it to us."

Looking at the mermaid, the girl was full of admiration for his eyes, as if she was looking forward to the group photo of the two of them, her boyfriend also echoed and encouraged: "It's just helping each other, and don't worry, my shooting level is also... It makes sense, it’s hard to catch up with the few people, and the opportunity is rare.”

I have never pursued taking pictures as souvenirs, but when it comes to commemorating, Jin Sheng's heart is moved.

The mermaid raised at home cannot stay with him forever, and will return to the sea one day.

It is a pity that there are only good memories and no specific souvenirs. After a long time, I am afraid that even his appearance will become blurred.Moreover, the photo scene specially set by the venue is backed by a large wall of jellyfish. Under the alternating light of light pink and light blue, the translucent jellyfish and completely transparent glass create a wonderful light and shadow background for people sitting on the swing.

"Then...it's troublesome."

Jin Sheng pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.He was independent early in his life and was not used to bothering others. After consulting the mermaid's opinion, he pushed him to the side of the swing. As soon as he stopped the wheelchair, there was an extra hand in front of his eyes.Due to the posture, with the help of the blue jellyfish wall behind him, half of the wrist is exposed in the suit, and the mermaid's pale skin emits a faint blue light.

The mermaid is inviting him.

After a second of stalemate, he stretched out his hand to meet him. The palms touched and clenched tightly. Jin Sheng's mouth curled up at the mermaid's gaze.

"The wheelchair affects the effect. Shall I help him to the swing?"

"It's okay, I... just do it myself." I declined the enthusiastic help of others, after all, the mermaid's body temperature was beyond normal.And the latter has no intention of contacting other humans.

Looking at each other tacitly, Jin Sheng exerted all his strength and threw the surprisingly heavy mermaid onto the swing. Not only was he not upright, but he also made the swing shake violently and couldn't stop for a long time.

Almost dodging his waist, Jin Sheng gasped exaggeratedly while holding on to the swing rope.

The weight of the mermaid is seriously inconsistent with its appearance. After all, the weight of the tail is there. No matter how it changes, it is a change in physical form. Besides, even if the mermaid who has transformed into a young man does not stand upright completely, it is still half a head taller than a human. Why? May be lighter?

However, only Jin Sheng knew all this, so that his panting behavior after being hugged was completely regarded by the bystanders as 'delicate and weak', in exchange for a burst of worry: "Are you okay? Otherwise, let me help."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't bother..." It's because you still can't lift it up.

Not arrogant, Jin Sheng has slender limbs, but it's just a look.There was no mermaid to raise before, and he went to the gym on time every week to exercise.I have persisted for more than half a year. Although I don’t have the muscular figure advertised in the poster, the lines are also well-proportioned, which belongs to the category of strength.

Laughing awkwardly, the mermaid has already straightened her sitting posture, sitting on the swaying swing and waiting, with her hands in her hand, she will also sit on it cooperatively in this life.It's just that the distance is a bit far, and the posture is also stiff, which is not as intimate and harmonious as the previous group of men and women.

The mermaid is okay, being placed in the middle of the swing and sitting obediently. As for the human being, it is very useless to integrate with the rope at the end of the swing and sit as far as it can.

"You two sit closer, it won't be effective."

"fine……"

"Come closer."

"..."

"Closer... Otherwise, you'd better get closer..."

——It's about to collide any closer!

The mermaid's legs couldn't move, and it was only Jin Sheng who kept approaching and throwing himself into his arms. She was embarrassed at first, but now her face turned red, and her polite smile froze because of the repeated requests. It becomes more and more unnatural as the distance gets smaller.

The photographer's request couldn't be resolved by the model, so he had to choose a compromise. Anyway, there was only a palm-sized space, even if it looked like it was deliberately vacated, "Okay, that's it, I want According to... 3, 2, 1."

Gritting his teeth, he didn't move that last moment. Maybe after many years of separation from the mermaid, he would regret it when he saw this photo again.

Just thinking like this, before the sound of the shutter sounded, a cold palm suddenly stepped across the back of his neck and pressed against the side of his head, making Jin Sheng's vision blurred for a while, and he quickly approached the mermaid with this 'irresistible' force , Completely covered the distance that I was unwilling to move more.

At a loss, his body also turned sideways, Jin Sheng pressed his head tightly against the side of the mermaid's face, and leaned on him with his whole body, his eyes widened when the shutter was pressed.

My heart beats so fast.

Looking blankly at the camera, the smile on his face was replaced by surprise, feeling the coolness covering his side face, he noticed that his consciousness was like a heartbeat, chaotic.

……

Since when did you start to take an unusual interest in mermaids?

But after a few photos, the face was red and the ears were red. After exchanging contact information, I said goodbye to the couple. I didn’t care about it and stayed on the large wall of jellyfish. I didn’t bring the mermaid back to the wheelchair until his heartbeat subsided, lest he find out that he was "abnormal". .

On the other side, after the performance ended, the quiet venue became lively in an instant, and the huge space seemed crowded. For the first time, I realized the benefits of hiding in the lively crowd. I could not only hide my emotions, not be known by others, but also pretend that nothing happened.

In response to the words of the young couple, the jellyfish wall where the photo was taken was the first to be crowded, and even two teams came out alone, bustling with people, mixed with the shouts of bear children, and the queue for a group photo was far away.

As for Jin Sheng, who had agreed to wait for the next performance, his attention had already drifted to the middle-aged and middle-aged man in the wheelchair. He was stuck in the group photo incident for a long time and couldn't extricate himself. He completely forgot the agreement and led him around with a blank mind. The crowd went straight out of the venue.It wasn't until the sun came to his senses that he came to his senses. Looking back at the venue where he couldn't enter again, he frowned and sighed.

The first venue accounted for most of the crowd, and after missing the show, they were completely staggered by this wave of tourists. When they arrived at the second destination, the Sea Animal Museum, there was only half an hour before the show.

It was a coincidence that the jump was naturally the best place to watch, but his mermaid was inconvenient to move and couldn't get out of the wheelchair. Even Jin Sheng could only sit on the side near the corridor.

After only waiting for a moment, the surrounding crowd was filled with rushing people, and there was no empty seat in the huge venue, and the voices of the staff hawking snacks followed suit.It was the first time for mermaids to see this kind of fresh and lively scene. Even if the expression did not change significantly, Jin Sheng could still notice the subtle changes in his eyes. Precautions were more important than curiosity and novelty.

Indeed, there were so many people that even if the mermaid's identity was discovered, they couldn't escape.

"It's okay, I'm here." Responding to a reassuring smile, in the noisy crowd, in order to relieve the nervousness of the mermaid, Jin Sheng deliberately lowered his voice to comfort, temporarily let go of the subtle emotions that had spread in his heart before, and held it with the simple purpose The cold hand of the mermaid.

With fingers clasped together, his expression calm, he couldn't hold back the rhythm of his chest beating faster.But the mermaid was not completely unaware, and looked sideways at Jin Sheng's red ear pinnae, and there was an inexplicable color in the dark blue eyes.

The show begins.

They couldn't concentrate at all, whether it was the opening welcome dance or the sea beast performance later, all they were left with was sightlines, and all the rest of their senses were tacitly concerned about the fish, as if every nerve in the whole body was concentrated on the fish. The mermaid's right hand.

Maybe he has been moved by the daily relationship, but the feeling is too strange, and Jin Sheng is too dull.

In the 21st century, same-sex romances have been accepted by most people, but the young man next to him, who seems to be no different from ordinary people, is actually a mermaid living in the deep sea. Such a combination is still taboo.

The imagination is beautiful, but it is obviously fruitless but refuses to admit it.What's more, in the eyes of mermaids, too many intimate behaviors that promote Jin Sheng's affection may be just physical contact. There is no difference between holding hands and hugging and bumping into each other casually, and they will not be cared or remembered at all.

His eyes were empty, and his palms also tended to be retracted, but they were interrupted by a burst of laughter mixed with screams inside the theater.

Turning his head to look over, he was hit in the face by an unidentified object flying towards him with a bang.

There was no time to get angry, let alone being sympathized by anyone, even the nimble mermaid around her was indifferent, just quietly watching all this from the sidelines.

Losing all the atmosphere, Jin Sheng picked up the thing that fell on his palm after smashing his face. It was a small plastic ball the size of a palm, light in texture, but it still hurt his face when thrown from a distance.

"...It seems that the one chosen by the god of luck is a gentleman. In history, this is the first time that a big star in our aquarium has interacted with a male friend. If it is not a beautiful lady, our big star may be sad... ..."

Who is the saddest right now.

The corners of his mouth and eyes twitched at the same time. Jin Sheng grabbed the ball amidst laughter and laughter, and raised his head stiffly, only then did he realize that he had focused the eyes of most people present.Since being hit by the ball, the whole person exudes the light of the protagonist chosen by the "God of Destiny".

Jin Sheng: ...

What happened when he was distracted?

Without giving any chance to respond, the host's voice was recorded again by the noisy microphone, "I invite this lucky male audience to interact with the biggest star in our aquarium!"

The exaggerated tone received a lot of response and booing, Jin Sheng had to stand up to avoid spoiling the interest of most people.Frowning and looking at the stage, he saw that the so-called big star... was a plump and fat... walrus?

Take a look at the young man in the wheelchair and take a deep breath. This is the consequence of not looking at the almanac when you go out.Going down the steps amidst the booing, Jin Sheng went to the stage surrounded by the auditorium with a stiff face.

In the center of the stage, the most conspicuous position can be clearly seen by the entire theater audience, including Chang Hao who is sitting in the corner.No matter what the reason for that person to come here, Jin Sheng was not surprised to get the scorching gaze of his predecessor, but it seemed so insignificant under the environment of all the attention, and the person who cared about the mermaid was completely unaware of this past tense.

I'm so annoying.

It was never intended to be the center of attention, let alone in such an entertaining way.

"Your surname?"

"gold."

"Is this your first time at the aquarium?"

"Not really."

"Then... do you know how to interact with our big stars?"

"…do not know."

All developments are in the planning of the plot, and the host was very satisfied with the selection of a very cooperative audience for this performance, who did not trip him up.

He raised his hand and tapped twice, suppressing the increasingly loud booing at the scene, the fat male host turned his head and smiled and continued to Jin Sheng: "It seems that Mr. Jin didn't watch the show well in the first half, as I said just now , There are three ways to interact with big stars, and what you want to do is up to you! Our aquarium completely obeys the opinions and suggestions of tourists."

"Then...which three kinds?" There was an ominous sign in his heart, Jin Sheng smiled stiffly, and the host looked serious: "Shake hands, hug, or...kiss! Choose one of these three."

The answer has never been clearer.

Jin Sheng took a deep breath, and waited for the host to hand over the microphone again, but the person only flashed the microphone by his mouth and then took it back instantly, and returned to the host before most of the syllables came in. lips.Such a funny behavior caused a burst of cheers, and then the host replaced Jin Sheng with a high voice: "He said kissing!"

Jin Sheng: ...

Chang Hao:! ! !
