[Slow Travel] How to show affection correctly

Not only Princess Irene, Bai Mo was also a little surprised by the question asked by the mermaid.

Irene had to confirm again: "Are you asking about my father's identity?"

The mermaid nodded. He held the siren's hand, his thumb subconsciously stroking the soft skin in the palm of his hand.This made Bai Mo feel a little itchy, but he didn't break free.

Luo was very nervous, even a little anxious, which was a rare thing for mermaids with few mood swings.

"Sorry, I don't know. I was taken out of the tower when I was four years old. My mother may have told me, but I really can't remember. I was too young at that time."

The mermaid didn't return to his usual calm state, he asked again: "Queen, what's it like?"

"My mother has long brown curly hair, which is always combed into a beautiful bun, but she doesn't wear any decorations on it. Her eyes are very beautiful, and they are a rare dark blue," Irene suddenly noticed the mermaid's eyes, and she A little surprised: "Your eyes are very similar to your mother."

"she......"

Bai Mo interrupted their conversation, someone came.

"Oh my princess, you shouldn't be running around," the man exaggeratedly took a few deep breaths, and then reprimanded loudly as if he had suddenly discovered something serious: "Oh my god, who allowed you It's really rude to sit on a chair."

She pointed at Beryl, relentlessly: "How can a guard share a meal with the master at the same table!"

"Winola, you can't do this, he is Prince Lean's confidant, you have no right to yell at Kabolan's guests." Irene stood up, her tone was majestic, startled the chattering woman .

But the man straightened up immediately, folded his hands in the position required by noble etiquette, and said in a showy tone: "So what, Kabolan's guests are His Royal Highness and the distinguished magician Your Excellency, they asked me to tell you, don't waste your time on worthless things, and don't forget the sinners on the tower."

"Winola!" Irene was very angry. She could bear all the accusations, but she didn't allow anyone to insult her mother!

She wanted to go up to argue with this high-spirited woman, but before she could lift her footsteps, she saw the woman who was standing next to the table fall hard on the railing of the corridor, and let out a miserable cry.

Except for Bai Mo, no one could see clearly what happened—Luo injured the other party at an extremely fast speed.

He stood up, bent down and grabbed the mermaid's wrist, and the mermaid slowly stood behind the siren along with his strength. His anger was about to burn him out, but he tried hard to control it.

Bai Mo patted his arm and turned to face the two girls: "Sorry, I don't think this is a good time to talk, and more people are coming here. The dim sum is very good, thank you for the hospitality."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for their response, he pulled Luo's wrist and went back to his room.

"Release." Without compromising, he stared into the mermaid's eyes and said his request in an unusually serious tone.

The siren was angry.

The mermaid's palm relaxed and tightened, and he went back and forth several times before he opened it, where there was a deep wound.

Without saying a word, Bai Mo turned on the faucet with a cold face and let the water flow to wash the wound clean.He took out the white shell again, which contained pink ointment. He dipped some of it with his finger and applied it gently on the mermaid's palm.

The effect of the ointment is very good, the wound no longer oozes bright red blood, but it still looks like small blood holes growing in the palm of the hand, which looks a little scary.

"sorry."

The siren still didn't answer.The mermaid looked at him sitting on the chair with his back to himself, which made him at a loss and very disappointed.He had made the siren angry again, and never more so than he was now.

"Mo, I'm sorry." He wanted to get closer, but he was worried that it would make the sea monster even more unhappy, so he could only stand where he was, motionless.

Bai Mo sat on the chair, trying to pretend he didn't care about the mermaid, but he kept thinking of those scarred hands. He kicked the floor angrily, stood up and walked over quickly.

"Tell me, when did it start." He looked up at the mermaid with a straight face.

"The day I left."

They'd set off from Corritia the morning before, but some of the merman's injuries were clearly older, and he was lying.

"Honestly, last chance."

"The day I left the waters of Wenlaer."

"what!"

Wenlaier is in the sea bordering Corridia, which means that from the day the mermaid left the sea, there were some problems with his body.

The siren was so angry, the emotion was so strong that his cheeks turned pink.He was obviously angry, but the mermaid felt that such a siren looked good, so he lightly touched Bai Mo's cheek with his finger, it was soft.

Seeing the mermaid's expression, Bai Mo even forgot to be angry, he blinked: "Luo, you look so pretty when you smile."

The mermaid stopped moving, his hands froze in mid-air, he had never heard compliments from others, especially the person in front of him was a sea monster, which made him completely at a loss as to what to do.

"Does it still hurt?"

The rare smile made most of Bai Mo's anger disappear. He held Luo's wrist so that he could see the wound on it more clearly. The dense scars made his heart ache.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." In fact, it didn't hurt at all. Except for the pain when it first pierced the skin, the rest were negligible to him—he had suffered too many injuries, and it was already became a habit.

Luo has lived in a shallow bay since he was a child. To catch good prey, he had to swim from the surface to deeper places time and time again.At first, he could only snatch the prey of other creatures, but later he got faster and stronger, and he began to hunt and kill creatures that are very dangerous to mermaids alone.

Injuries have long been commonplace, it hurts, how can it not hurt?But no one cared, even himself, the mermaid was used to it, so he forced himself to ignore the pain.

But now...

"Don't be sad." The sea monster's divine expression made him feel very uncomfortable, as if his heart was pinched by a hand.It's obviously not a serious matter, but when Bai Mo looked at him, he felt that he was beginning to become vulnerable.

It was an emotion that no one had ever given him except the noisy squid.

The siren cared about him. It had been like this since they were still at the bottom of the sea. The siren cared about him very much, which made the mermaid very happy.He wanted to tell Bai Mo everything that happened, so that the sea monster might help him.

He is no longer alone.
