Letter from the Mermaid Prince

Reef, how did he find it?I was puzzled and slowly swam over.

Hearing the sound, he turned around, and the light of joy rose in his eyes.

"Asa, here you come," he said.

I nodded embarrassedly, but didn't look at him.

He swam over eagerly, held my hand, seemed to be brewing for a while, and then asked me: "Have you seen this piece of coral reef?"

Well, I see, I nodded.

"This is a gift from me to you." He said, and before I could react, he went on to say something that shocked me so much.

"Asa, I like you." Said the person I regarded as my best friend.

God, does he know what he's talking about?Is there a mass of brain coral around his neck?Maybe it's a fake mermaid?Fake Mr. Clarence so you can tease me again?A series of thoughts rushed into his mind like a west wind.I turned around in panic, wanting to leave this place that made me panic.

But my arm was pulled strongly.

"Asa, listen to me." He said in a deep voice.

I dare not look back.

"Asa, I have always liked you." The deep voice floated slowly to my ears along with the ocean current.

I closed my eyes.I even held my breath, and I heard a clear and powerful heartbeat.

"Asa," he raised his hand to hug me, "Although I can't share a soul with you, I can give you a kingdom and the company of eternal life, just like this piece of coral reef, as long as you want."

"As long as the ocean exists, I will be with you for as long as possible."

These sweet words flowed into my ears like an ocean current.I am now like a warrior who has lost the protection of his armor. A casual sentence from the other party can easily defeat me.

My poor and useless self-control has already flowed weeping to the depths of the ocean along with the broken polyps.

I was obviously infatuated with the prince before, but now, I feel a faint joy.

I'm really a mermaid who is easy to change.I can't help but despise myself.

"What about you? Asa." Just as I was thinking wildly, the deep voice asked again.

And me?I don't know either... I moved, trying to break free from the confinement, but my arms tightened in exchange.I leaned closer to him instead.

"Don't run away, Asa." He pressed close to my ear, forced me to open my eyes, and placed something in front of my eyes.

It was the shiny stone that was given to him before, why did he take out this thing?

As if to answer my doubts, he spoke, but there was a trace of teasing in his words: "You can't escape, Asa, you know, you have already proposed to me."

"This is a ring. In the human world, it means marriage proposal." As if on purpose, he pushed the stone towards my eyes again.

God, have I misunderstood this all along?But the old turtle didn't say, didn't say... I looked at him in shock and suspicion, but what caught my eyes was a smug and unquestionable smile.

Could it be that I really misunderstood all this time...

Oh, what a shame!His smile aggravated my embarrassment, and I turned my head helplessly, trying to ignore the scorching gaze.

"I'll give you time to think about it." He seemed not to see my embarrassment, and hugged me tightly again, with a smug air in his words, "but I don't accept a rejection response."

I won't tell you what happened after that, in fact, I don't remember what happened at all... because after Mr. Clarence's words, my whole head became dizzy , as if being swept by a strong wind, completely lost the function of thinking.All I remember is that I didn't give an exact response (Mr. Clarence's smug smile made me gnash my teeth, and of course I didn't give him a real response).I just said that I want to think about it. As for the time to think about it...it depends on my mood!

I hope you don't find my decision hasty.

Maybe I will continue to write to you in the future, maybe I won't, but my admiration for you will never change.After you have helped me so much, you are already the most supreme god that cannot be replaced in my heart.I will tell your deeds to the descendants of the ocean, and let them pass it down from generation to generation, like a ballad, and live forever.

Looking forward to meeting you again.

Sincerely and forever revering you Asa

First letter

As the largest letter sending and receiving organization in the ocean, the Ocean Post Office has been adhering to the spirit of being dedicated to fish and carrying out various tasks seriously and responsibly.

But recently, the postmen of the ocean post office are a little distressed... I don't know if it's because the warmer weather has caused the sea creatures to have big mood swings. They always receive some inexplicable letters...

Below, are some sample letters.

The author has something to say:

Second letter

Dear postmen:

I've been a little depressed lately.

Before I tell you what happened, I want to ask a very serious question-what kind of experience is it to have an extremely boring owner?

There must be no one who can answer my question, because no octopus knows better than me what it feels like to have a sullen master...

Thinking of this made me even more melancholy.

The story begins on a night with a bright moon and few stars (please don't doubt that even if I am an octopus living in the deep sea, I still have some beautiful yearning for the night sky).

That night, my master was immersed in the evil potion experiments as usual (he never noticed the beauty around him, his eyes were only potions, potions and potions, and this numb attitude to life was really annoying. I sigh); and I, an octopus who has a keen sense of life but has to be imprisoned here, as usual, quietly and faithfully guards in front of the gate, quietly gazing at the imaginary vast night sky.

Just then, I heard the sound of a fish's tail stirring the water.

It's really strange that there are fish swimming in such a remote forest.I couldn't help but put away the tentacles and looked suspiciously.

It is a group of cute little dolphins, the leader seems to have something in its mouth.

Oh, they approached cautiously.I've got to put on a defensive face quickly so they don't despise me.

Hey, it stuffed me with that thing, and then swam away without looking back.

What is it?I looked down.

It's a letter to the master!I shook my tentacles in surprise.

This is so strange!You know, my master has always kept aloof from worldly affairs, and rarely associates with other mermaids.Who will write to him?

Almost unable to restrain the trembling, I quickly sent the letter to the owner, and explained the situation in the shortest words.Then, as expected, the master waved his hand and let me leave with the letter.

Well, it's a pity that I don't know who sent it.

I thought this matter would be over, but the next day, a little flounder with one eye that hadn't reached one place slowly sent a second letter, together with a beautiful crinoid.

I sent the letter again, but what I got in return was still a wave of hands without looking up.

Well, I'm just short of a nice tiara.That's pretty cool.

On the third day, the letter arrived again, and there was a shiny stone.

Such a beautiful stone should belong to me too.I happily sent the letter to the master.

This time the master finally accepted it, but the stone was left to me.

I happily tossed the stone around and watched it glisten in the water—it was so dazzling.

It wasn't long before the master called me.

He rarely calls me, what is the reason this time?I came to him puzzled.

He looked at me with those deep black eyes, and then held out his hand without saying a word.

What?What does it mean?

The master waited for a while, seeing that I didn't seem to understand, put his fist to his lips and coughed, turned his eyes away and said: "Letter, and a gift."

Oh, he is going to take it back!Didn't it already be given to me?Now I have to take it back again, which is really breaking my promise!

Unhappily, I handed it to him.

He couldn't wait to take it apart, and after carefully browsing it, a smile appeared on his face.

It was extremely terrifying to see such a smile on the face of the master.I shivered.I think the sucker is about to shake off.

Then he wrote a letter.

"Here," said the master solemnly, handing me the letter, "for the dolphins."

Well, I will deliver the letter obediently.After the skill of guarding the gate, I successfully opened another skill point - sending letters.

To my surprise, as soon as I got back to the forest, I saw the owner smirking guarding a crystal ball, next to the stone that had nothing to do with me.

The way he was immersed in it was really scary.I shuddered and quickly exited the door.

After that, I started my hard-working letter delivery career.In fact, I am not against sending letters.Because on the way, I saw a lot of beautiful scenery, and also reached a close friendship with dolphins, and the innocent and enthusiastic mermaid prince, which is one of the reasons why I am willing to send letters (he is so cute, he has great love for human beings) The prince's unswerving love makes me admire again, and I always hope that his wish will come true).

I thought this wonderful life would last forever, until I discovered the master's secret...

That day, the sea was very cold, and the moon did not appear. It seemed to be a sign of what was about to happen, and there was a gloomy color all around.In the dimness, I heard strange noises coming from the master's room.

What is he doing?

Uncontrollable curiosity drove me to go over quietly.I want to see what the sound is.

Through the crack of the door, I saw that the master was posing with a heavy expression.
