There's a mermaid in my bathtub

The body retreated extremely quickly, Jin Sheng stretched out his hand, but he couldn't grab anything, he could only see his body detached, and he was getting farther and farther away from Nanli.

Ben was at the entrance of the cave, Nanli pushed Jin Sheng out of the passage with all his strength.

No!

The distance was extremely short, and there was no time to struggle. Jin Sheng fell into the water from one side to the other, only to feel dizzy as the world was spinning and the sun and the moon were upside down. His ability to breathe underwater disappeared instantly. sit on the floor.

"Cough cough cough..."

Covering his face, he coughed desperately, the bitter seawater in his throat choked his nose and throat, making him breathless.

——It doesn't feel like being in the sea.

Wiping away the water flow in front of his eyes, Jin Sheng opened his eyes, his body shook, he kept raising his hand, and looked at his surroundings with a face full of helplessness.

He came home.

finally home?

Finally left that weird world full of crises, finally left the cold and dark seabed, finally got rid of the fate of being "sacrificed", and was finally safe.

With a chuckle, tremblingly withdrew his hands, pressed to the left chest cavity, and felt his beating heart through the skin soaked in sea water.

It hurts.

Jin Sheng clutched his heart and knelt in the porch corridor, his dark eyes were lifeless, not knowing where to look.

As Nanli said, when he passed through the tunnel, he would return to "the place where he left", but... Nanli would never come back again.

The body rose and fell with trembling breathing, Jin Sheng's mind was full of smiles when Nan Li pushed him away.

He didn't know how the bad fish felt when he found out that he was frozen, and whether he would be afraid, but he saw Nanli's face was calm and calm, and he was not at all unwilling. On the contrary, he was very satisfied because he sent him a short distance. look.

"Nanli..."

Water was all over his body, and a puddle had accumulated on the wooden floor. Jin Sheng used his hands and feet together to get up from the ground. Barefoot, he wobbled and rushed to the bathroom. His condition was extremely poor, and he didn't pay attention to his feet at all.

Suddenly, he stepped on a foreign object, coupled with water stains dripping on the floor, and fell back hard on the ground with a muffled sound.

"Hmm—" The hard floor hit the tailbone, and Jin Sheng's black hair was shaken and covered her eyes, blocking her view.

Stretching out his hand to lift his hair, the fall was not light, and he lost consciousness for a short time, and he came back to find the culprit who caused him to fall, which was a box of fresh oysters.

His heart was suffocated. Before he left, he was bringing home ingredients for hot pot. He even showed Nanli oysters that humans can eat raw...

Pressing down with his fingertips, he confirmed the freshness of the oyster meat in the crisper. Jin Sheng raised his head stiffly, looked at the year, month, and day on the digital watch, and instantly widened his eyes.

He is back, back to... the day when he was kissed away by the mermaid.

How is this going?

Standing up with the shoe cabinet next to him, Jin Sheng took the box of oysters and scanned his home. This was obviously the place he was most familiar with, but it was covered with a layer of dust in his memory.

Reaching out stiffly, he burrowed in along the waist of his trousers. The fish scales that had grown completely from Jin Sheng's hip bones had been pulled out by the stumped mermaid, and the remaining ones that were just showing their corners also disappeared.

Jin Sheng felt around his waist, except for the one that was pulled out and left a light pink scar, the others seemed to have never existed.

If the fish scales disappeared, those disgusting parasites in his body must also be gone.

If one ignores his wet body, then his experience at the bottom of the sea is like a dream.He returned to the time point before time travel, nothing happened in this world, even... no one even noticed his disappearance.

It was still half light, and it was the end of summer. Cicadas were so dry that they would never feel tired, screaming endlessly, windows of high-rise apartments were open, and the sound of street traffic could be heard in the distance. It was no different from the usual weekends.

All of this tells Jin Sheng that the world is unforgettable, and it has only been a few hours in this world.

The electronic clock strikes the hour on the hour, pulling back Jin Sheng's wandering thoughts. The damaged shorts that have always been with him are still dripping. do something.

After a long while, he took a slow step and continued to walk to the bathroom.

He paused in front of the door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the semi-transparent sliding door of the bathroom. It was still the same as he remembered, the bathtub was still half full of water, and the back window could see the back of the community through the gauze. In the garden, just after the meal, there are groups of citizens walking around.

All of this is familiar to Jin Sheng, except... there is no Nanli.

With his hands on the bathtub, he squeezed the wall of the bathtub tightly, the veins popped out on the back of his hands, and then gradually subsided, the sound of entering the water sounded, Jin Sheng lifted his feet, and stepped into the bathtub without Nanli.

There was no purpose in doing this, it was just that he was used to the water flow and was suddenly exposed to the air. His heart was anxious and anxious to find some kind of sustenance.

Sitting quietly in the bathtub, the water was not up to his chest, Jin Sheng hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, repeating the same scene over and over again in his mind, forcing him to face the bloody fact squarely.

—Nanli is dead.

Like his grandfather, frozen in a cold tunnel, dead to death.

And he, this human being who is greedy for life and afraid of death, failed to escape his "fate", and became a deserter like his grandmother.

The right hand clenched the left wrist tightly, and the thumbnail scratched near the wrist bone. The pain in the body can be exchanged for self-deceiving peace of mind, as if hurting oneself can atone for the sin of "abandoning" the mermaid.

Those ice cubes were due to his body temperature rising, so in Jin Sheng's view, it was appropriate to say that he killed his favorite fish with his own hands.

The delicate skin was no match for the tough and hard nails. In just a few strokes, Jin Sheng gouged out the wound on the innocent left wrist. It was not long, but extremely deep. Flesh and flesh were gouged out between the fingers, almost naked.

Does it hurt?

It hurts, but it doesn't hurt.

At the bottom of the sea, under the water, he couldn't shed tears because of the stimulation of the cold water, but now that he returned to his own world, the tears seemed to have dried up, the black pupils were out of focus, and he was staring blankly at the water surface, Jin Sheng couldn't give himself an answer.

The blood dripped down the wrist, and the scarlet blood flower bloomed in the transparent pool. The strands scattered and faded. One drop, two drops, the flowers bloomed continuously, and the water in this half of the bathtub tended to turn pink.

Swimming was exhausting, and Jin Sheng's consciousness was in a trance for a while. When the phone rang somewhere in the living room, he finally stopped his self-harm.

"...who..."

Only when he opened his mouth did he realize that the voice was hoarse and the sky had completely sunk. For Jin Sheng, the whole world was quiet, and the cell phone ringing from nowhere in the living room made him feel alive again.

Standing up, raising his legs, and barefoot, Jin Sheng left the bathtub with water all over his body, and the water droplets falling from the water-soaked shorts converged into threads. I was covered in water, but I didn't care.

"...Where's the phone?" Talking to herself, she followed the sound and looked around, kicking the food on the ground, but didn't pick it up consciously, Jin Sheng made some moves, making the house even more messy.

The exposed wound on the wrist is still bleeding, because the owner is not aware of it, the blood drips everywhere, mixed with the water flow from the arm, and it becomes a light pink liquid, which falls on the white sofa cushion, like the petals of cherry blossoms that have just bloomed, and... like Nanli Qianqian lip color.

The cell phone rang for a long time, but Jin Sheng couldn't find his cell phone. When the ringing stopped, he was about to lean on the sofa in a decadent state, when the curtain rang again.

This sound is disturbing, and it is also a life-saving straw for Jin Sheng.

At this time, no matter who wants to contact him or talk to others, he can temporarily escape from the current state and forget about the mermaid frozen in the tunnel for a short time.

Walking in a hurry, there was another round of rummaging. Due to the increased range of motion and violent mood swings, Jin Sheng had already started to pant heavily. Finally, he finally found out his mobile phone in the gap between the two sofas.

The contact person displayed on the screen did not note the specific name, five words, directly identified the identity - "Chang Hao's friend Shen"

The first four are the relationship with him, and the latter is the way of calling.

At this moment, Jin Sheng remembered his ex-boyfriend, Chang Hao, who was thrown downstairs by him and lost consciousness.

After dating intermittently for a year, Jin Sheng didn't know much about Chang Hao's private life, and he didn't have much contact with his friends, except for this one surnamed Shen. telephone number.

Speaking of which, the one who can really get along with Chang Hao is the second-generation rich young master.

In my impression, Shen Changfeng looks exquisite, feminine, and easy to get along with, but those deep eyes show that this master is not easy to deal with. Whether it is IQ or EQ, Shen Changfeng is much higher than Chang Hao.In comparison, Chang Hao, who is also a kid from a rich family, seems like a careless person.

Fortunately, Jin Sheng was not familiar with Shen Changfeng, so he had no chance to "compete" with this person, otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to get out of the whole body.

That's right, he sent a message to this person, asking him to pick up Chang Hao.Calculating the time, this guy must have received Chang Hao who was seriously injured. Maybe he had just finished his work, made proper arrangements, and gave priority to escorting the "wounded" before he had time to talk to himself about the reason.

His Nanli...is no longer here, so even if the mermaid incident is exposed, he is not afraid. Anyway, no one knows the way to go to another world.

Not caring about the drenched shorts and bleeding hands, Jin Sheng sat on the sofa and answered the phone.

"…Hello."

"Jin Sheng, it's me, Shen Changfeng."

"Well, I know, I'm the one who sent you the message, and I haven't forgotten." On the other end of the phone, no matter how sweet the male voice is, it can't improve Jin Sheng's mood, but the voice of an outsider gave him the opportunity to truly return to this world. Feeling like, "Have you received Chang Hao?"

"En." Shen Changfeng responded lightly, and the slightly feminine handsome face on the other end of the phone looked at Chang Hao who was swollen into a pig's head on the hospital bed with disgust, and was full of interest in Jin Sheng on the phone.

He was curious, who could make Chang Hao like this.

"He was seriously injured. I was accompanying him in the hospital for an infusion. Both wrists were comminuted and dehydrated, and the knee bones were also dislocated. Someone arranged for an operation and is still preparing..."

Listening to Shen Changfeng's list of Chang Hao's tragic situation, Jin Sheng couldn't sympathize. Instead, he recalled the man's evil deeds, his voice was a little unsteady, and he interrupted Shen Changfeng: "Don't tell me about him, I will hang up if there is nothing wrong." gone."

"and many more!"

"Why are you so anxious, Jin Sheng." A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Aren't you curious, what did he say when I saw Chang Hao?"
