The Old Man and the Mermaid

Even if Mr. Mermaid didn't speak, Eigre could get the answer from this expression.Because of this, he coughed again in embarrassment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he still couldn't think of any reliable and trustworthy explanation, so he could only say honestly: "I just really want to know about Mr. Yu... …in various senses."

in various senses.

Mr. Mermaid looked at Aigre's expression at this time, and he could only think of some unhealthy things from it.

This is simply getting darker and darker.

Aigre raised one hand to cover his eyes in despair, and really wanted to drive the boat back to the shore immediately, so that he could quickly return to the lighthouse and face the wall to think about his mistakes.

But before he vented in his heart for a long time, he felt Mr. Mermaid's warm and cool palm gently covering the back of his hand in front of him. The touch was a bit like the big jelly that is occasionally sold in the market.It was a small snack that Aigre hadn't tasted for a long time, but judging from the recent situation, the children in the town seemed to like this kind of sweet food more and more.

Although the weather in the morning was not too hot, Aigre still felt much refreshed because of the temperature of this palm, and his mind gradually became sober.

He stretched out his other hand and grabbed the back of Mr. Mermaid's hand. After a few seconds of silence, he said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Fish."

This sentence of thanks came inexplicably, but the mermaid could hear a lot of suppressed emotions and relief from it. It felt like a fisherman who had no income for a few days finally bought good fishing gear and was planning to go to sea again to seek life.Aigre doesn't need to worry too much about diet and quality of life, so this feeling can only come from the heart.

Mr. Mermaid recalled the emotion Aigre had shown when he mentioned the deceased grandfather before, and silently closed his palms.

Aigre adjusted his breathing, and then slowly pulled Mr. Mermaid's hand down. While feeling the scales, he also lowered his head to look at the palm that he had never had a chance to observe carefully.

The palm of Mr. Mermaid is probably one of the few parts of the body that is not covered with scales, but the texture of the skin is several times tougher than the palm of a human being, even more indestructible than those soldiers who have been training with guns all year round.The scales on the back of the mermaid's hands and arms are actually quite rare, and they are so transparent that they are almost invisible. Under the sunlight, it looks like the skin is glowing, and it is difficult to tell that those shiny dots are actually scales.

Aigre stared at Mr. Mermaid for a while, and then coughed dryly again. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Mr. Mermaid held it back in his palm.He froze for a moment, then laughed again, and said, "I really want to continue spending time with Mr. Yu for a while—to be honest, I'm so excited right now. But I still need to help Professor Ness sort out things that need to be taken away. So if Mr. Yu doesn't think of me better because of what I just said, how about we meet in the afternoon?"

The mermaid also looked at him and chuckled, nodded slightly, raised Aigre's right hand, and dropped another kiss on the center of his palm.

When that kiss touched his palm, Aigre felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling because of it.This feeling is deeper than when Mr. Mermaid kissed the corner of his mouth just now, because he is fully awake now, so his senses become clearer and easier to capture.

He finally swallowed another large paragraph of words that had rushed into his throat, slowly withdrew his hand, and rubbed it on his cheeks vigorously, calming down the fierce emotions that were like waves in a storm He stepped down and said at the same time: "Then...we will see you in a while, Mr. Yu."

Mr. Mermaid finally didn't do anything that would disrupt his actions this time. He turned over and fell into the sea. After tumbling in the sea, he resurfaced and raised his hand to Aigre as a farewell.

Aigre originally wanted to watch Mr. Mermaid leave as before, but after waiting for a few minutes, the mermaid flicked its fish tail and patted the boat lightly, sending the boat a certain distance to the shore.Only then did Aigre come back to his senses, and finally smiled at Mr. Mermaid, started the motor and drove towards the shore.

The mermaid watched as Aigre pulled the boat ashore before re-sinking to a comfortable depth.He was about to turn around and go back to the place where he hid the material before, when he was stopped by a figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The figure circled lively in front of him, and when it finally stopped, it still didn't forget to flick its beautiful tail.This girl is always full of energy, and she looks very different from other members of the mermaid clan, which can be regarded as a very rare character.

- You guys are so romantic!

The girl excitedly swam around Mr. Mermaid, and finally stopped in front of Mr. Mermaid again.

——I originally wanted to ask that kind gentleman to take me to the shore to have a look, but I didn't expect you to be so close, so I didn't bother you.

Mr. Mermaid glanced behind her twice, and briefly asked her husband's whereabouts.

—He went to pick up our cute little one.

After the girl explained, she still kept talking about her regret that she couldn't go ashore to have a look.

Mr. Mermaid listened to her in silence before speaking again, and told her about the figure that appeared that morning that Aigre had mentioned before.

The girl listened carefully to Mr. Mermaid's speech, but her expression gradually became blank during the listening process.

——But after I left that day, I didn't come back until last night... The guy who was seen can't be me.

Mr. Mermaid stopped talking.He recalled in detail the relevant information that Aigre had told him before, and frowned slightly.

While the mermaids were having a friendly talk, Aigre finally calmed down his emotions. By the way, he briefly tidied up a few rooms in the lighthouse to divert his attention. After that, he took some money and walked out of the lighthouse to the town. that villa.

When he arrived at the entrance of the villa, he was a little surprised to hear the voices of the young people talking inside.Before he stepped forward to knock on the door, the door of the villa was suddenly opened. Royce ran out of the villa and almost ran into Aigle.

"God! My brother, why did you appear so silently?" Royce yelled exaggeratedly, "I'm busy cleaning up the trash, don't try to scare me next time."

"Do I look like I want to scare you?" Aigre glanced at him with a headache, but he still stepped forward and took out two large boxes from the pile of things he was holding in his arms, and relieved him. Take a load off, "I'll help you, hurry up."

"Thanks, brother." Royce unceremoniously chose to accept Aigre's help, and said with a smile while walking away from him: "Those guys came back from the clinic early in the morning. Probably because of the fright and the fact that he was quite drunk, he is now acting well. This can save Professor Nice a lot of trouble, and with their help, our efficiency has also increased a lot."

"That's good." Aigre replied noncommittally.

"Don't be like this. Although what they did this time is really bad, Professor Nice will find a way to deal with them when they go back." Royce walked to the garbage storage bin at the garden gate, turned back and smiled at Eigre, " They have caused such a big incident, and although they themselves have suffered, since they have brought so much trouble to your island, they will definitely suffer a lot after returning to the academy."

"I just hope that Professor Nice will not be affected by this." Aigre said, "Although they are all adults, Professor Nice is still the main person in charge of their ecological investigation, isn't he?"

"Don't worry about this, I will testify, nothing will happen." Royce said and threw all the garbage into the storage box, looked up and down a few times at Aigre, squinted his eyes and asked: "It's you Why does the state look so much better than last night? It looks like a peacock with its tail open."

Peacock?Aigre raised his eyebrows, squinted at Royce, and although he felt a headache for him as always, he still replied truthfully: "Aren't you curious about my relationship history yesterday? I just fell in love with him this morning. People go a step further in their relationship, are you satisfied with this answer? I..."

"Wait, wait..." Royce quickly raised his hand to stop Aigre from what he was about to say, scratched his head, and continued to ask: "You are not collecting materials and materials of literary works. Relevant information? My good brother Aigre? Why do you feel like you are fooling me? You don’t let me into that closed room in your lighthouse, and you don’t tell me the name of your sweetheart. It feels like It’s a completely fictional literary character!”

"It's not because I don't want to tell you." Agree said with a smile.

It's because the Mermaids themselves don't use names to refer to each tribe, and their communication methods are too special. If I tell you, you may need to digest it for quite a while.Aigre added in his heart.

Royce still stared at Aigre with questioning eyes.

"Okay, hurry up and help Professor Nice pack his luggage." Aigre patted him on the shoulder, and finally said, "We still have a lot of opportunities to chat in the future, but not now-I have more things I want to do Wait for me without delay."
