His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

The little leopard cub pouted its buttocks, staring at the black scales on the bed, and looked up from time to time to take a look at Seventh Brother who was acting like it.

His brother stared at the scales for a long time, as if if he kept staring at them like this, flowers would bloom on the scales.

I saw my elder brother's eyes were burning, his face was blushing, and his whole body was strange, as if he was very happy, looking forward to it, and somewhat troubled.

The little leopard cub couldn't help rubbing his brother's hand, trying to see if he had a fever... Of course it turned out to be fine.

"Wooooow~" the little guy called softly, but he didn't get a response from his brother, so he could only turn his gaze back to the scales. He stretched his neck and sniffed, and smelled an all-too-familiar breath.

——This was given to my brother by Brother Shaoxuan, and it really smells like Brother Shaoxuan~ Oh, it smells like the sea!Aww~

The little leopard cub remembered the big pond (fog) he saw in the Laiyi Peninsula, so he stretched out his little furry paws, wanting to touch the scales.

Qi Jing, who was lying on the side, tapped the little leopard cub's paw with a finger, stopping its movement: "Don't touch it yet."

——It’s really not that he is stingy, but that he still hasn’t figured out why Shaoxuan sent him the scales for no reason... The most important thing is, which part of the merman’s scales are these scales! ! !

They just visited the lantern festival for half the night, and Shaoxuan only guessed the lantern riddles once from the beginning to the end.

Qi Jing bought the lamp and got the shark's scales. Judging from the fineness, it should be Shaoxuan's own scales without a doubt.

People in Kyushu know very little about the mysterious merman, except that they also have the merman king and the merman royal family, and that they have no rivals except that they are afraid of being threatened by sea monsters when raising their offspring. There are scattered and unverifiable rumors, and the understanding of its real life habits is blank.

The Seventh Prince didn't know whether sending scales was an ordinary gift to the Merman, or whether it had some special meaning, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

I'm afraid that if the little leopard cub bites the scales, Shaoxuan will be with the slobbering Eleven, so what should he do...

Pooh, that's not what he meant, what he meant was... In short, don't mess around!

Although Shaoxuan soaked the shark's tail in water every day, Qi Jing, who had a strong heart but no courage, only saw Shaoxuan's real body once in the sea near Laiyiwei.

Because he fell into the water, there was a turmoil at that time, but he touched and looked at it with his hands up and down, but he only had a vague impression and a tactile sensation in his haste.

Later, he was curious several times, how the mermen hid such... ahem... such a big thing, but he had no chance to find it.

Thinking that this scale might be a scale covering somewhere, his face was as red and hot as a fire.

He was really embarrassed to ask, and guessed that the Merman would not answer him easily, so he could only tangle here alone...well, he also brought Xiaoshi to tangle with him.

But the little leopard cub was not tossing and turning as much as his brother.

For it, although the scales are beautiful, with a charming luster like black pearls, they are all black and not big in size, so they look the same.

The little guy who likes new things feels that apart from the smell of the sea on it, which feels a bit special, it doesn’t have sustainable attraction—after all, it wants to smell the smell of the sea, and it’s not enough to be directly next to Brother Shaoxuan Yet?

So when Qi Jing came to his senses, the little leopard cub was already lying there... asleep.

Qi Laoqi, who was lonely and unknown, let go of his fingers, and the little guy didn't take back his little claws, and fell asleep as if frozen, completely ignoring his brother's entangled mood at the moment.

Little Leopard Cub: "Hoo Hoo... Hoo Hoo..."

Qi Jing: "..." Heh, the carefree little cub who fell asleep so fast is really happy... Humph, little white-eyed leopard!

After gently hugging the little guy to sleep on the mat, Qi Jing turned over carefully.

The little guy touched the soft cushion, turned over, and turned to lie on his side in the direction of Qi Jing, huddled into a small ball, and did not wake up.

Qi Jing glanced at it, making sure that the little guy was sleeping soundly, so he put one hand under his head, and held up the scales with the other hand to change the angle of the candlelight in the room, making it reflect unpredictable light.

Someone looked at him, recalling the first time he saw Shaoxuan under the moon, and the time he hugged him in the water, and the little things they got along with along the way... My heart gradually calmed down.

In the quiet and pure night, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of waves beating against rocks and smell the breath of the ocean.

That is a completely different scenery from here.

It takes a lot of courage to leave your hometown, let alone leave the ocean where you live, and go to a completely strange land like land.

If Shaoxuan didn't trust him, it would be impossible to come to Tianjing with him.

To a certain extent, they can be regarded as a fateful friendship, so why worry about why the scales are given away, after all, it is the other party's sincerity, and he just cherishes it.

As for what he didn't dare to think deeply about, it was their hazy relationship. He always felt that exploring it now would destroy the beauty of the present.

Qi Laoqi curled up holding the scales, and fell asleep in exactly the same sleeping position as the little leopard cub.

……

The lamp that the Seventh Prince bought at the Lantern Festival has been hanging in Shaoxuan's house since then, and it has won the favor of the Merman Prince.

But he was also keenly aware of Qi Jing's subtle changes in himself.

This person is still as enthusiastic as ever, as careful as ever, and likes hippie smiling faces as always... It's just that occasionally he rushes too fast or gets too close, and he will unconsciously back away, with a different cautiousness from before, as if invisible What concerns have arisen.

When Shaoxuan sent the scales, he had already anticipated this situation.

Even in the merman race with fewer female merman, male merman may not be together, let alone in Kyushu, where the etiquette is strict.

He wasn't at all worried that someone would hesitate.

Because, as long as you know what you want, that's enough.

The rule of the sea is the survival of the fittest, the weak prey on the strong, you have to fight for what you want, and you have to grab it.

And the more precious it is, the harder it is to snatch it. If you want to get what you want, you must have incomparable patience...

He once tracked wild cats on the islands of Shaohai, but he just liked them a little, and never had the desire to take them for himself.

Now, he has... so he must have it!

It's just that the other party seems to be eloquent, bold, and surprisingly thick-skinned, but when it comes to the critical moment, he may not be as straightforward as his little milk cat.

If others are not careful, he may take the opportunity to slip away, so don't push too hard.

Shaoxuan has learned a lot of new words recently, such as luring wolves into the house, raising tigers... They don't seem to be good words, so he decided to ask Luo Qin next time, what beautiful words should be used to describe their relationship.

So, business as usual.

The Seventh Prince was still a little hesitant and apprehensive at first, but Shaoxuan didn't have much reaction after sending the scales, he didn't seem to take sending things seriously, and slowly relaxed again.

He thought, maybe this is really just an ordinary gift between friends, no different from giving a painting or a lamp... just relieved and at the same time feeling a little bit disappointed.

——Send something randomly for nothing, it makes people feel itchy, and there is nowhere to go... Shaoxuan is too much!

A certain person completely forgot how much hospitality he gave, how many inexplicable gifts he gave, and how many times he teased someone carelessly after saving someone.

Until Zongren Temple agreed to the Seventh Prince's Mansion's request to change the lake road, the Prince's Mansion chose an auspicious day to start construction, and Qi Jing started to get busy again, so he stopped thinking about receiving gifts for the time being.

But on the way home from the school one day, he suddenly remembered something, reined in his horse and ran towards the market, and finally stopped in front of a treasure shop.

"Shopkeeper, I want to frame this up and hang it without damaging the original. Is there any good way?"

"Master, this is... the scales of what kind of fish? It looks like a big guy!"

Qi Jing thought about the tall man in his family who was obviously the same age as her, and he was indeed a big guy, so she nodded.

The shopkeeper thought that the nobleman in front of him valued this thing so much, and he thought it was an extremely precious fish, so he didn't dare to take the job casually, so he said: "I have to ask the old master in the shop about this, so I can talk to you."

Since the original cannot be damaged, no holes can be made, but if it is inlaid on a base, it is afraid that it will become too thick and lose the lightness of the original.Only by discussing with the master face to face can we come up with a suitable plan.

"I'll just wait here, you can take it in and ask now."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but carefully looked at the scales again.

——This is too precious... So what kind of rare fish is it?

Afterwards, for three consecutive days, the hostess of the Seventh Prince's Mansion did not return home for lunch or dinner, and did not arrive home until it was almost curfew.

On the third day, Qi Jing came back earlier, and Qiu Xi saw that His Highness was in a good mood, so she asked.

"It's nothing." The Seventh Prince said it was nothing with a cheerful face, without any convincing force.

He couldn't tell Qiuxi that he wanted to take the things Shaoxuan gave him with him, but he was worried about leaving the scales in other people's shops overnight, so he could only wait there to supervise the work himself, and waited for two full afternoons and one night. Just got it.

He secretly carried the finished pendant with him, not knowing that Shaoxuan had sensed his scales a long time ago, every time he saw him, he wished to take off his clothes and see how his scales hung on his chest .

……

When the palace was "lively" deciding the candidates for the second prince and the fifth prince, the lake road in the Seventh Prince's mansion was finally improved, and new pavilions and plank roads were also built.

The Seventh Prince also booked a small boat, waiting for the full moon weather to bring beautiful women... Ahem, he took Shaoxuan and Xiao Shiyi to enjoy the moon.

On the afternoon of the day when the project was completed, Qi Jing happily took Shaoxuan to see the results of a period of hard work.

As soon as the two of them stood in the pavilion, the Seventh Prince heard the Shark say with a deadpan expression:

"There is no sea, but there is a lake. When will I learn to swim?"

Qi Jing: "!!!"
