Encountering the Koi

"You hug me home, okay?" Shen Yingqiu opened her arms and stood there waiting for the demon to hug him.

Shui Qianmo was silent.

Shen Yingqiu raised her arms, and said lapily: "I am a patient with a disease, and you are a demon with boundless mana, so why not hug me? Besides, you have hugged me twice already, and this time is not bad, right?"

With these words, Shui Qianmo was quite speechless; he thought to himself, this person is really a rascal.

She couldn't help frowning, looked at him for a moment, didn't say anything, but walked towards Shen Yingqiu in a strange way, and then hugged the rascal.

It disappeared into the night after a while.

Shen Yingqiu was secretly proud, this monster couldn't help but be so stupid and easy to deceive, it seems that I picked up a treasure.

And all the little pride in his heart was heard by Shui Qianmo, holding the idea that he couldn't help but want to shame the person in his arms into the lake.However, after thinking about it again, he is a benefactor and wants to repay his favor; at the same time, he can't help thinking, why can this person affect his emotions?

Hmm, I don't understand.

As if it was a dream, Shen Yingqiu brought this thousand-year-old fish demon back home.

When he got home and entered the house, Shui Qianmo put the person on the bed, before Shen Yingqiu could speak, he saw the monster lying beside him unceremoniously.

Shen Yingqiu was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously patted the other person's forehead, and said: "I haven't washed yet, get up quickly."

Shui Qianmo frowned, living for a thousand years, this forehead has never been touched by anyone or anything.

And Shen Yingqiu immediately realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly said: "Sorry, I, I was reckless."

Shui Qianmo didn't speak, just turned over, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Yingqiu: "..."

She curled her lips, cleared her throat, and just about to open her mouth, she heard the demon lying beside her say coldly, "Be quiet."

"..." Shen Yingqiu heard the words, and almost raised his fist to beat the monster, but he had the heart and no courage, so he could only sigh secretly, thinking, whether it is better to take him home or not bad?

Not knowing, he sighed secretly, comforting himself, why bother with a fish?

No matter how he turns into a human again, he is still not a human. To put it bluntly, why should you bother with a stupid fish?

Thinking of this, he got out of bed quietly, walked lightly to the yard, went to say hello to his mother, then went back to his own courtyard, stood in the yard, thought for a while, and was very worried about Meng Qingsheng. , ready to go to the night market to find him.

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, Meng Qingsheng rushed in, and called out in a hurry: "Qiuzi!"

Seeing his recklessness, Shen Yingqiu also knew that he was anxious to find her, so she hurriedly said: "Qingsheng, I'm fine, I'm back safely."

Seeing Shen Yingqiu standing in the yard, Meng Qingsheng heaved a sigh of relief, regained a bit of stability, and said, "It's easy for me to find." He paused: "Just come back."

Shen Yingqiu approached him and hugged her friend: "I made you worry." Then she looked at him and asked, "What about you? How did you come back?"

"I got separated from you. There are so many people in this night market. I saw that it must be difficult to find, so I went home, ordered some people to look for you, and then came to your house by myself." Meng Qingsheng told the truth.

Shen Yingqiu was speechless, and said with a smile: "It seems that I was too worried. I thought you were still looking for me at the night market."

"Looking for it, I just sent other people to look for it." Meng Qingsheng said with a chuckle: "If I don't come to your house and go to the night market, don't I have to keep looking for it?"

Shen Yingqiu agreed, the two said a few more words, and Meng Qingsheng went home.Shen Yingqiu fetched some water, washed up, and went back to the room.

The person on the bed, no, a demon, is still sleeping. Shen Yingqiu looked at his sleeping face, admired him secretly, then looked at the half of the bed he had vacated and smiled wryly. This bed is not very big, and it is just right for two people to sleep. , but do you want to sleep on the same bed with a demon?

If she sleeps, will she be beaten by him?

But if you don't sleep in a bed, where can you sleep?

There is only one bed in the room, and I am not in good health, so it is absolutely impossible to sleep on the floor.Shen Yingqiu was thinking wildly like this, her body had already made a choice first, she went to bed, lay beside Shui Qianmo, gently pulled off the quilt, covered the demon, and then covered herself, blew out the bedside lamp, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

This time, she slept soundly, and when the morning light came in, Shen Yingqiu opened her eyes.

He moved, but saw that the monster was wrapping his limbs around him, sleeping peacefully without any warning.

Shen Yingqiu suddenly felt something welling up from the bottom of her heart, warm and joyful.

Maybe this is what it feels like to be needed?

Just as he was thinking, Shui Qianmo woke up, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at Shen Yingqiu with his beautiful eyes. Shen Yingqiu's face turned a little red from being stared at like this, while Shui Qianmo didn't show any expression, and her limbs remained the same. Haunting Shen Yingqiu.

After a long while, he said calmly, "Your body is much warmer and more comfortable than the rocks and aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake." Then he leaned on Shen Yingqiu again.

Shen Yingqiu: "..." Blinking her eyes, she replied, "Oh."

After holding each other silently for a long time, they got up.

After getting up, the two of them washed up, Shen Yingqiu served the food, and the two of them sat at the table in the house, eating breakfast together.

Shui Qianmo still eats very cleanly, but Shen Yingqiu's habit is to always have some leftovers when eating. He looked at the clean bowl eaten by this demon, and followed suit.

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Shen Yingqiu always wanted to find something to chat with, thought for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if I know the name of my benefactor?"

"Shui Qianmo." The demon said calmly.

"Shui Qianmo." Shen Yingqiu repeated, and then asked: "How long have you lived, benefactor?"

"millennium."

After hearing this, Shen Yingqiu paused and said to herself, it has been a long time.

"There is a little ink in the water for a thousand years, but this name is in line with your real image." He said.

Shui Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's pretty smart."

Shen Yingqiu smiled: "That's the first time I saw my benefactor that day, that's the impression I had. A black fish in the water, if you don't look carefully, it's really like a drop of ink that melts in the water, very agile."

Shui Qianmo pondered for a moment, then replied: "En."

Shen Yingqiu asked cautiously again: "Does the benefactor really live at the bottom of the lake?"

Shui Qianmo said: "Most of the time."

Shen Yingqiu felt strange and couldn't imagine how this monster who looked like a person was sleeping deep in the bottom of the lake. After thinking about it, she couldn't help feeling a little chilled, and thought to herself, how cold the bottom of the lake is, and it must be difficult to breathe.

"I'm like a fish, so it's not difficult to breathe." Shui Qianmo looked at him and said calmly: "It's a bit cold."

Shen Yingqiu froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, opened her small mouth, and thought to herself, he can know what I'm thinking, it's so scary.

He glanced at Shui Qianmo, pondered for a moment, and said, "Benefactor, are you alone? No, are you a fish?"

After I finished speaking, I felt that this statement was weird.

And Shui Qianmo looked at Shen Yingqiu with unblinking black eyes, frowning slightly.

Shen Yingqiu explained: "I mean, do you have any family or friends?"

"No." After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and added: "Qingyun is considered."

"Huh?" Shen Yingqiu frowned: "Qingyun?" Questions filled her mind: "Who is Qingyun?"

Shui Qianmo remained expressionless and did not answer, his thoughts had already wandered to Qingyun.

"..." Shen Yingqiu couldn't help but murmur in her heart, is it this monster who is too wild or I don't understand the fish's thinking?Turning my mind, I thought again, have you been alone for thousands of years?Isn't that more pitiful than me.

Thinking like this, he asked, "Is the benefactor very lonely?"

Hearing this, Shui Qianmo frowned for a while, then stretched his brows again, and fell silent.

Shen Yingqiu caught his expression, and immediately felt that he was being abrupt?How can you ask such a question?

She is a thousand-year-old fish demon who has been cultivated to become a spirit. What does being lonely or not have anything to do with you?Besides, there is no one who asks people so bluntly, even if they are lonely, they will not answer, and they will not like to be asked if you are lonely. Isn't yourself an example, and you avoid this kind of question every time.

Thinking of this, Shen Yingqiu felt annoyed for a while, knowing that she was really a bit abrupt, and it was too much.

Confused, really confused!

Shen Yingqiu felt very sorry, looked at Shui Qianmo with a gloomy gaze, and called timidly: "Benefactor..."

Shui Qianmo raised his eyebrows slightly, his handsome face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were as deep as water.

Shen Yingqiu frowned, he decided to apologize, but he heard the monster say: "I'm lonely, but," he paused.

Shen Yingqiu pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what he said behind her.

Shui Qianmo continued: "But I like it."

"..." Shen Yingqiu frowned slightly, and his heart moved, he knew that this demon was duplicity, because he often did this.

After a pause, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Does my benefactor know my name?"

Shui Qianmo said: "I know."

"Then what's my name?" Shen Yingqiu looked at him expectantly.

Shui Qianmo glanced at him lightly, and said, "Shen Yingqiu."

Shen Yingqiu showed joy, and praised: "It's amazing."

"..." Shui Qianmo frowned slightly, looked at the excited Shen Yingqiu, and said lightly, "I am a demon."

The implication is that knowing your name is really easy, so you shouldn't be so excited, right?

Shen Yingqiu's expression froze, and then she smiled, and said: "That's right, I almost forgot." After a while: "Benefactor, don't be disgusted, I am indeed a little excited."

Shui Qianmo said lightly: "No."

Shen Yingqiu grinned.

Shui Qianmo was expressionless.

Shen Yingqiu didn't smile when she saw him, she twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and continued to ask curiously: "What do you like, benefactor?"

Shui Qianmo blinked slightly.

"That is, what do you like to eat? What do you drink? Or what do you do?" Shen Yingqiu explained.

Shui Qianmo thought for a while and replied, "Eat, drink tea, sleep."

After hearing this, Shen Yingqiu was stunned for a while, although the answer was a little too far-fetched and general, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was right.

Driven by curiosity, he boldly continued to ask: "Then dare to ask my benefactor, besides these, what other hobbies do you have, such as reading, writing, listening to music, shopping, etc.?"

After thinking for a moment, Shui Qianmo replied: "I don't have any special hobbies, I just live according to my mood, not as colorful as you humans."

Shen Yingqiu let out an oh, thinking, has it been like this for thousands of years?Is it boring?

"Well, it's really boring." Just as he was thinking, Shui Qianmo replied.

Shen Yingqiu pursed her lips, frowned, and looked at the thousand-year-old koi demon with pitiful eyes.

Feeling his eyes, Shui Qianmo was quite speechless, this person is pitiful, but now he pities me?

After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Sleep for a while, and we'll talk when we wake up." Without any explanation, he went to bed, and the bed curtain was blown off by a gust of wind, and the demon inside said again: "Don't disturb, I'll ask when I have time later. "After speaking, there was no movement.

Shen Yingqiu stared in the direction of the bed in a daze, and inexplicably opened the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Yes, he is now home with himself, and he will have plenty of time in the future.

At the same time, he said to himself, this monster didn't say much when he asked what he asked, but it was true that he didn't have any unnecessary answers.

The words are concise and indifferent, but reveal patience.

For Shen Yingqiu, this is enough.

It is a kind of gratitude to have someone who is willing to communicate with this patient patiently.

Oh, yes, he is a demon.

But so what?

Be it human or demon, I don't feel so alone now.

The conversation with this demon is not long, maybe it's been a long time since I have communicated with people like this, it seems like I found a close friend, I don't say I'm happy, but I feel an indescribable intimacy.

Wonderful!

With a smile on her face, Shen Yingqiu walked out of the room lightly.

Quietly looking at the summer scene full of gardens, curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile, as bright as a blooming flower.

So gorgeous.
