The Old Man and the Mermaid

"I'm really not talking about those strange things." Aigre stretched his legs forward, leaned his back on the sofa cushion, and lightly touched Mr. Mermaid's tail scales with the top of his shoes. Some said dumbfoundingly, "I mean...uh, let's not talk about anything else, is it true that your own tongue won't be hurt by those little stabs?"

This is obviously because there is no suitable rhetoric.

Mr. Mermaid slandered, but he still saved enough face for Aigre. He just went back and took the pen and paper, put it on his fish tail and wrote: The spikes are stuck in the flesh of the mouth and will only come out when stimulated. .

"So was that feeling exciting enough just now?" Aigre couldn't help laughing again, looking at Mr. Mermaid and joked, "This is the first time I have experienced this...wonderful feeling."

Mr. Mermaid looked at him peacefully for a few seconds, and then wrote: This is more exciting than when you fell into the sea before?

Aigre: "..."

Every time this gentleman expresses his thoughts, he is probably thinking about how to break up with him.Aigre thought blankly.

The mermaid looked at his expression and chuckled lightly.

Aigre stared at Mr. Mermaid with complicated eyes. After a while, he coughed a few times, and finally took the initiative to bring the topic to a strange direction: "Mr. Fish, I have a question."

Mr. Mermaid raised his chin lightly, motioning for him to continue.

"I am indeed pursuing you sincerely, and it seems that I have succeeded so far." He recalled the things that happened during this period of time with a delicate expression, and couldn't help sighing, "I thought it would take me a long time. Time, prepare various means to promote the progress of this relationship... But it seems that Mr. Yu seems to be much more straightforward than me, so I don't think there is any need for me to hesitate to think about which method to use. "

Whether it is in the sea or on land, the survival of all kinds of creatures is always accompanied by death. Since they will leave this world one day in a rather long future, why do they do things that go against their own feelings or even make things too difficult for themselves? .

Their time is still long, but literally every minute is worth cherishing.

While Mr. Mermaid was thinking like this, he nodded his head in agreement with Aigre's statement.

"We seem to have discussed this issue before, but I don't quite remember the details." Aigre stood up from the ground, and then sat down on the sofa again. After a pause for a few seconds, his face was serious and slightly He asked embarrassingly: "Is it possible for us to have the closest contact? Physiologically."

You are the only one who can speak so implicitly and philosophically about such an erotic subject.

The mermaid kept smiling, and wrote on the paper: Human women once conceived a mermaid child, but the child could not survive smoothly, and the mother's body would suffer damage to varying degrees.

"What kind of biological principle is this?" Aigre's expression was obviously a little regretful, "I was quite curious about what the children born from the combination of mermaids and humans would be like, but now it seems that it is quite sad. s story."

Mr. Mermaid nodded and continued to write: Love across races cannot leave offspring, so in history, not many tribesmen have tried this method.

"Although two people do not necessarily need a child, it is probably a pity for the two people who love each other not to have a child of their own." Aigre nodded along with him, "And this Since this kind of situation will harm the mother, it is better to find a way to avoid it—then in exchange, is there any record of a mermaid woman getting pregnant?"

Mr. Mermaid continued to write on the paper: Yes, the results are consistent.

"No wonder." Aigre said with a smile, "otherwise we should be able to see some legends about novel creatures - such as humans with both legs and fish tails, or humans covered in scales who can move around Sea-breathing little ones or something."

The mermaid imagined such an existence for a while, only to think that they were indeed characters that would appear in fairy tales.

"It's just a pity that they can't have children, but I hope their ending will be happy." Aigre picked up the pen that Mr. Mermaid put on his lap, and said while wandering, "The situation in human society It's too complicated. Some people want to have children but can't, and some people try to avoid the birth of children. Everyone's ideas are different, and most people will choose to respect others, so not many people will revolve around this aspect The topic of disputes."

...as if we could live.The mermaid directly denied Aigre's idea in her heart, and did not write down this sentence.

However, Aigre directly guessed some clues from his subtle expression, coughed dryly again, and said: "Even if there is no species difference between us, there will be gender issues, so it feels more acceptable."

Aigre was right about this, but Mr. Mermaid never cared about it.He didn't even think about family or children, so he didn't mind the gender and identity of his future partner.

He had already spent too long a period of time, and he was already mentally prepared to walk the last part of the journey alone—Agre was the only beautiful and warm accident in his plan.

They were silent for a while, and then Aigre continued: "But even if we can have such, um, close contact, I still hope to learn the language of the mermaid tribe first, otherwise I will definitely rack my brains to guess you The meaning of what you say, and then it will..."

Then it gets quite embarrassing.Aigre added silently in his heart.

Mr. Mermaid smiled again, and even glanced under Eigre's crotch with undisguised eyes, to show that he could fully understand what this guy was saying.

It was only at this time that Mr. Mermaid could clearly feel that Aigre was indeed a normal young human being.He is in the period of the most vigorous energy, no matter what he says or does, he will probably think a few seconds more about the pleasant aspect of body and mind.

"But that being said, it's better for me to go to the town to buy some things first." Aigre paused for a moment, then added himself, "For the health and safety of both of us, some outstanding human inventors have designed Tools are still quite necessary.”

It is indeed necessary.

Mr. Mermaid turned around and leaned on the sofa side by side with Eigre. By the way, he took the mermaid language materials that had been placed on the desk and handed them to Eigre with his fish tail.

After all, it's not me who needs those things.Mr. Mermaid smiled for a few seconds, and added in his stomach.

Having said that, Aigre didn't immediately find the opportunity to go to the town to buy those alternative necessities that he wanted to buy, because in the next few days, Dusk Island has been shrouded in a thick dark cloud.The torrential rain kept hitting the island, trapping every resident on the island at home and unable to go out smoothly.

The market has also been temporarily closed in the past few days, and only some shops selling fresh fruits and vegetables and various ingredients are still tenaciously supporting the sheds to meet the needs of the townspeople.

Mr. Mermaid will still come to the lighthouse in the afternoon every day, and assist Eigre to continue to learn the language and pronunciation of the mermaid tribe, so Aigre usually goes to the market in the morning to help Mrs. Irene pack away the things that need to be sold every day. fruit.

The heavy rain lasted for nearly a week, and Eigre even felt that the entire summer seemed to be coming to an end.After the sky cleared up again, he had gradually mastered the most basic greetings and some short words in the mermaid language. When Mr. Mermaid spoke a few times, he could barely distinguish what Mr. Mermaid wanted. expressed the meaning.

The brilliance of the lighthouse has been shining on the sea these days, and Aigre's work has become more busy because of this.If the rain continued to fall sometimes even at night, he had to contact the town's substitute.At this time, Mr. Mermaid will return to the sea very cautiously.

Nearly a week later, the sky brightened completely for the first time.After contacting the Zhenhai District Protection Center all morning, Aigle was finally able to relax temporarily and enjoy the summer sunshine.The weather forecast told him that there should be no more rain these days, and the spotlight of the lighthouse finally got a sufficient rest.

After the weather was fine, Aigle went directly downstairs and turned over and fell asleep on the sofa, enjoying a peaceful and sufficient sleep.When he woke up again, it was almost dusk.

He was awakened by a moist and refreshing breath, and when he opened his eyes, what he saw directly was Mr. Mermaid's fin that was completely attached to his face.

Aigre laughed twice, pushed Mr. Mermaid's tail away, sat up and patted his forehead, and greeted him gently: "Good evening, Mr. Fish."

Mr. Mermaid didn't speak, but turned around directly, smiled and raised his finger out of the window.

"What's the matter?" Aigre stood up, put on his coat, put on his shoes, and walked to the window.

On the coast not far away, the mermaid lady I saw last time was looking in the direction of the lighthouse.When she saw Aigre, she immediately raised her hand and waved it vigorously twice, looking as lively and cheerful as ever.

There was a gentleman sitting beside the lady.The gentleman turned his back to the direction of the lighthouse, and Aigre couldn't see his expression, so he could only speculate that he should be the husband of the mermaid girl.

And what really attracted Aigre's attention was the little guy who was rolling on the beach.
