Mermaid Effect

They stray into a gay wedding.

Rand was somewhat slow to realize this.So that finally explains why the people in the church were so kind to them both.

Obviously, in their view, Munster and him are also a couple.

Rand doesn't know if he's used to this, you see, he still felt a little embarrassed at the beginning, but now he can calmly smile and nod, pretending to be Munster in front of Corey companion.

Rand even makes up a somewhat touching love story: a librarian and a silent car accident survivor who always checks out books, both of whom have been hurt, and find that they are so compatible.

He was a little worried at first that Munster's jerky would kill his lie, but the little monster did grow fast on this journey—it was even better at acting than Rand.

It took the initiative to hold Rand's hand in front of Corey, and stared at Rand with sticky and sweet eyes.

Corey smiled kindly at Rand and Munster.

"...Yeah, I can tell you're a perfect couple," he said.

After Corey's voice fell, Rand felt Munster's fingertips gently tickle between his fingers.

For some reason, Rand felt the temperature of his face rise slightly.

……

During the conversation with Corey, time ticked by.More and more people had already settled in the brown pews of the church, and on both sides of the church, the string bands began to tune, and the whispers in the crowd gradually died down.

This rare same-sex wedding is about to begin—even though it was a wedding attended as a cover while fleeing, Rand couldn't help but look forward to it under this scene.

But it was also at this time that there was a slight commotion from the door of the church.

Corey, who was still chattering to Rand before, talking about the funny things between the newlyweds who are about to get married today, turned his head subconsciously, and then his expression immediately became serious.

"Sorry, I think there's something I need to take care of there."

He pointed to the door, nodded at Rand with an apologetic face, then stood up and rushed towards the door.

He stopped a man at the door.

It was a handsome man, his hair and skin showed traces of careful grooming, but his eyes flickered and his facial expression was arrogant.The previous commotion was that someone stopped him at the door from going into the church. Corey was tall, and that man—to be honest, although he had a good appearance, he looked like a little girl in front of Corey. of.

Corey dragged the man away from the door with almost no effort, and walked away.

He deliberately kept the distance away to avoid the dispute from affecting the crowd inside the church, but Rand's extraordinary eyesight could still easily see the interaction between the two clearly.

"Ken?! You shouldn't be here!"

Corey glared at the man under him sternly, with a stern and gloomy tone, completely different from when he was in front of Rand.

"Hey... calm down, I'm just here to see."

The man called "Ken" slanted his lips in a smile.

"The court's restraining order against you is still in effect, Ken, you are not allowed to appear beside Nafel at all." Corey said coldly, "You are here to cause damage-let me tell you, you are not allowed It will work...if it wasn't for Nafir's sake, I should have called the police."

The smile faded from Ken's face, and the corners of his mouth were drawn down, staring at Cory maliciously.

"Y'll always be like that, yeah, I'm poor, and Essie's a fucking rich guy, so that goddam bitch dumped me and fucked with him—"

His voice ended in a short wail.

Because Cory punched him in the stomach.

"Don't make me hear that word again," Corey said.

Ken bent over like a shrimp, he threw his head back and spat at Cory.

"What word? Bitch—wow—"

He quickly got a second punch.

"Don't let me see you again."

Corey said calmly, as before.

There was a hissing sound from Ken's mouth, and he fell completely to the ground in pain, and it took a while to get up.

"Remember me." He shouted, walking slowly towards the opposite direction of the church...

Corey watched him leave before returning to his seat.

"Feel sorry."

After sitting firmly, he smiled wryly at Rand.

"You know, Nafel had a little trouble when he was a model."

Rand hadn't meant to let Corey know that he was actually seeing everything clearly, and that the man didn't look too much like Little Trouble, but he gave Corey a silent, understanding smile.

Thank God his embarrassment didn't last long, because soon the string orchestra officially began the main character of the wedding, and a man walked down the red carpet.

Rand recognized "Nafel" almost immediately - the model!

Even Rand, who is insulated from fashion, has seen the other party's posters, and he even knows the title of that person - "the most beautiful man on earth".

It's a little gross, but after seeing Nafel himself, Rand has to admit that the title is not exaggerated in a certain way.

That person is simply astonishingly beautiful, and human lenses cannot perfectly present his almost miraculous face. Just looking at his face, you will feel a trance like cerebral paralysis... …

Before he knew it, Rand almost saw God, but soon, the tingling pain from his palm brought him back to his senses.

Munster bit his lip, and the strong resentment could almost turn into substance and flow out of every pore.

"Rand... he... is prettier than me, right..."

It leaned close to Rand's ear and murmured sadly every single word.

Rand's face flushed slightly.

"Uh, why do you ask that?"

"Rand has been watching him..." Munster held Rand's hand with increasing strength, his eyes fell on Rand's face motionless, observing his expression, "give me A little time, Rand, if you like... I can be more beautiful than him too..."

Become more beautiful than that man named "Nafel"?

Rand almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Nafel's beauty was almost frightening—Rand believed he would stand out like diamonds under a laser light even if he was hiding in a cardboard box among the homeless.

For models, this is probably the perfect weapon.

And for fleeing, this kind of face is a disaster at all!

"No, no need."

Rand lowered his voice and said nervously.

"In my heart, Munster, you are the most beautiful, and you look good now..."

"But you have been watching him." Munster brushed his tail across Rand's ankle in the dark.

"..."

What could be more annoying than this untimely comparison?Rand thought silently.

He patted Munster's knee reassuringly, and lowered his eyes.

"Okay, I don't look at him, I only look at you from now on, are you satisfied?"

With a hint of helplessness, he said half-jokingly—Munster's smile brightened instantly.

"Satisfied."

It said happily, without hearing the joke in Rand's tone at all.

While Rand finished appeasing Munster, the string gradually weakened.

The dazzling man, Nafir, has also come to the end of the red carpet, his partner is gazing at him softly, with a shy smile on his mouth - it is almost hard to imagine such a shy and soft man Would be a billionaire, but anyone could tell there was a lot of love between the men.

"... In the name of God, I solemnly swear: I accept you as my husband, and from this day forward, I will love you and cherish you until death, regardless of good or bad, high or low, disease or health."

……

Listening to the solemn oath between the couple, for a moment, Rand even forgot that he was still on the run.

He felt an inexplicable touch—perhaps because of the strong love between those two people.

Rand has never had the opportunity to make such a deep oath with any one person, and he must admit, "Whether in good or bad, high or low, in sickness or in health, I love you and cherish you until death."——Is a too Too tempting promises.

It is also a promise that is too far away from him.

A sudden sense of loneliness remained in Rand's heart like an invisible hand.He woke up suddenly from the fleeting hallucinations brought about by the wedding of this happy couple, and remembered his current situation.

Being hunted down, his own mutation, and the upcoming separation from Munster...

Munster suddenly took Rand's hand completely into its palm.

"Rand?"

It whispered his name.

"what?"

"This is marriage..." his little monster murmured foolishly.

After a while, Munster suddenly solemnly raised his new request to Rand——

"Let's get married, Rand."

"Ah? You, what are you talking about?"

Rand stuttered in shock.

His first reaction was that Munster was joking, but he soon remembered that Munster had never learned to joke in front of him.

So... what Munster said was serious.Rand realized belatedly.

At this time, Munster had already spoken on his own.

"I want to do that too...I also want to love you forever and be united to you..." (It refers to the words the pastor announced to the crowd "God has united you and no one shall tear you apart")

Munster seems to have misunderstood something...

After a few seconds of blank mind, Rand thought.

But before he opened his mouth to correct Munster's erroneous understanding of "marriage", Corey's laughter came from beside him.

"Oh, what did I hear? A live marriage proposal?"

Corey didn't understand the truth of the matter, and Rand himself had previously pretended to be a couple with Munster in front of him—Rand stared at the excited Corey with his mouth open, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him. situation.

"It's touching, man, I believe you will be happy!" Corey almost clapped his hands, his laughter mixed with the applause of others: in front of the pastor, the pair of Essie and Nafel The officially married couple are kissing passionately.

There was a luscious sense of happiness throughout the church, and everyone was in high spirits, standing, clapping, cheering, hugging and blessing each other.

"Uh, actually, I..."

Rand spoke dryly, but was completely speechless.

Fortunately, soon there was a new commotion among the crowd.Rand found that many people were squeezing into the middle of the corridor—for Rand now, that was simply the best excuse to escape from the embarrassing atmosphere.

He also huddled together with those people.

"five four three two one……"

Rand was at the end of the crowd. He didn't really know what the crowd was doing (his attention had been on Munster before), and the only thing he could hear was the inexplicable countdown from people.

Then, everyone jumped up.

Rand saw a mass of white things jumping and jumping at the fingertips of the group of people...

Then, in an ingenious arc, it fell into his arms.

"Ow..."

"Damn..."

"I thought I could catch it this time!"

……

The wails one after another suddenly exploded around Rand.

Rand lowered his head, looked at the things in his arms, his eyes widened in shock.

It really took him a while to figure out what it was...

That is a flower ball.

"Hey man, I told you so!"

Corey shouted to the stunned Rand, laughing in the gap between the crowd.

"You should say 'yes' to your man!"
