bride as a paranoid mermaid

"Don't blame yourself. We are human beings, not gods. All tragedies cannot be avoided." The doctor comforted Xia Shenlan.

But in fact, Xia Shenlan couldn't get any real comfort from it. Only he knew how irreversible damage he had brought to the black cat because of his momentary negligence.

After a moment of silence, the doctor said again: "What are you going to do after it heals?"

"I'd like to adopt him and bring him home if he wants to."

"It will be very willing. Its resistance just now was just a stress response after being injured. And its right eye was seriously injured, and now it can no longer see. This will have a certain impact on its psychological state. After a while alright."

It will be fine after a while, what a familiar sentence.

In the face of powerlessness, people always like to use such excuses, just like he would say such things to Jiang Chenxing when the mermaid resisted Jiang Chenxing.

But what happened?The mermaid never accepted Jiang Chenxing.

But whether the black cat is willing to accept him or not,

Xia Shenlan thought, he must take good care of the black cat and try to make up for its trauma.

That's good too, after he left, life would be easier with the cat by his side.

"If you want to raise it, give it a name." The doctor suggested: "It will give it a sense of belonging, and it is also good for mental health."

Xia Shenlan pondered for a moment, "Let's call him Little Xingxing."

Star is a very important existence in his life.

The doctor scratched the black cat's chin, "Did you hear that? From now on, you will be called Little Xingxing, Little Xingxing, a very cute name, right? Little Xingxing~"

Little Xingxing got tired soon, and fell asleep again in the warm sunshine.

The doctor took Xia Shenlan away and said some precautions about keeping cats.

If you really decide to take Little Xingxing home, you can start preparing some cat supplies now.

According to the doctor's suggestion, Xia Shenlan bought some small toys and food and went back, and ordered a cat climbing frame online.

In a few days, when the little star comes back, he can have a good living environment.

But the relationship between mermaid and little star is still a big problem.

Just now that the mermaid can communicate, Xia Shenlan thinks he should take some time to discuss this matter with the mermaid.

Xia Shenlan grabbed a handful of toffee and peeled off the wrapper, "Do you want to eat candy?"

The mermaid floated up from the water and bit off the candy from Xia Shenlan's hand.

After eating one, Xia Shenlan gave another one, after eating one, gave another one, and after a while, a handful of candies were finished.

Xia Shenlan held a lot of candy wrappers, coughed dryly twice, the words reached her throat, and changed when she spit them out: "Can you talk to me? I was wrong last time. When you talked, I You shouldn't have been left alone."

The mermaid snorted lightly, and finally made a sound.

There is a play!

Xia Shenlan's eyes brightened slightly, and she continued to ask: "Why are you able to speak suddenly? You obviously couldn't speak when you took a bath last time."

"Not suddenly."

"That's...?" Xia Shenlan came up with a possible answer based on the tacit understanding she had cultivated with the mermaid for many days: "You know it a long time ago, but for some reason, you don't want to say it?"

"Well," the mermaid admitted frankly, "I'm not skilled."

Because he is not skilled, he simply does not speak.

It's... very mermaid.

The topic ended here, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Xia Shenlan touched the side of her neck, and said bravely, "I want to tell you something."

"Huh?" The mermaid looked at Xia Shenlan quietly.

On the contrary, Xia Shenlan was a little guilty, coughed twice, and her throat was no longer so dry, he continued: "It's the cat... that black cat, it ran out after the rainstorm stopped, but it will bring me salted fish every day , maybe to repay his kindness? Because of this incident, he was beaten by a person in the village, and he is still recuperating in the pet hospital."

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to bring it back, can you get along with it?"

The mermaid wagged its tail, "I don't like it."

When he is unhappy, the arc of the tail swing will become smaller, but more powerful, turning the small world in the fish tank upside down.

"I know, but it's badly injured, and one eye can't see. If you don't bring it back, it won't be able to survive outside alone."

Xia Shenlan tried her best to show her affection and reason, but she didn't expect the mermaid's complexion to be even more ugly.

"So, anyone can?"

"what?"

As I said earlier, Xia Shenlan is not an emotional person. For example, now, he can't understand the logic of the mermaid at all.

The mermaid said "whatever you want" and returned to the water.

Although she didn't understand the logic, Xia Shenlan could still see that the mermaid was angry.

He stood awkwardly by the fish tank for a while, and tentatively asked, "Do you want to wash your hair?"

The mermaid seemed to like it last time.

After waiting for a while, the mermaid still put her hand on Xia Shenlan's.

This is the difference between mermaid and Jiang Chenxing.

They would all be angry for some reasons that Xia Shenlan couldn't figure out, but the mermaid would never wrong herself, and Jiang Chenxing had the kind of character that he couldn't get along with himself.

The mermaid really enjoyed the activity of washing his hair, and his body relaxed involuntarily, as calm as if the previous stuffiness didn't exist at all.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, Xia Shenlan took the initiative to talk to him and handed over an olive branch of love: "Last time I accidentally touched your scales, and your reaction was very intense. Are those scales special?"

After a while, the mermaid replied coldly: "Well, it's my reverse scale, you can't touch it."

"Ah, it turned out to be Nilin... sorry."

According to the legend, encountering the dragon's reverse scale would make Longyan furious. The mermaid didn't cut him in place, which shows that the mermaid is still very important in the mermaid's heart.

Xia Shenlan felt belatedly that at that time he was almost on the verge of death. Dapeng spread his wings, and laughed dryly, "What about your skin? The last time I fell to the ground, I saw a streamer... "

The mermaid glanced at Xia Shenlan, and suddenly the last light appeared on her bare skin.

But it is not a flash of light, but a real, radiant brilliance emanating from the inner layers of the skin, like gems refracted.

Xia Shenlan's eyes widened in surprise, and her fingers lightly landed on the mermaid's shoulder.

He felt the quiet turbulence hidden in the mermaid's body like the sea.

Xia Shenlan couldn't speak, her mind went blank, all her thoughts were attracted by the shining totem under the mermaid's skin.

Until the brilliance of the mermaid faded, Xia Shenlan tightened her hands in a sense of loss, trying to grab something.

"This is merman silk, which will help me block most of the damage." The mermaid explained.

Xia Shenlan suddenly recovered and withdrew her hand.

"Shark silk, so it's all true..."

"you know?"

"I've just heard of it. There are many legends about mermaids in the human world, such as mermaid silk, and tears turning into pearls..." Xia Shenlan became interested when she said this, "Is this true? Your tears Will it become a pearl?"

The mermaid asked back, "What are tears?"

"Uh... When you are sad or in pain, the eyes will involuntarily flow out of liquid, that is tears."

"I don't have those times."

"When you get hurt, don't you feel pain?"

"It hurts...maybe, but I didn't cry like you said."

Xia Shenlan can only attribute all this to the mermaid's tears are very precious, so she will not shed tears easily.

"Well, all in all, tears are not a good thing, I hope you will never have to cry one day."

"I won't let that day come."

The mermaid showed considerable arrogance, which was his confidence as the king of the sea.

Xia Shenlan nodded noncommittally, such a serious injury can't make mermaids cry. To be honest, Xia Shenlan can't think of anything more desperate that would make mermaids cry.

After washing her hair, Xia Shenlan checked the mermaid's wound, and it was almost healed.

After thinking about it, he still opened his mouth to mention the parting matter: "Your injury is almost healed, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

The mermaid didn't answer.

But this is a matter that needs to be discussed sooner or later, and it cannot be resolved by escaping.

"Think about it, I'm not driving you away, of course I hope to keep getting along with you like this, but you belong to the sea. When you want to leave, tell me, I will at least escort you out of this area safely sea ​​area."

It's not to prevent the attacks of other creatures in the sea, but mainly to prevent the people from the Deep Sea Company from finding the mermaid.

The mermaid pinched Xia Shenlan's hand, but he didn't use much force. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't speak.

Anyway, the meaning had already been conveyed, so Xia Shenlan didn't mention it again.

The mermaid must be angry, otherwise it can't explain why he didn't interact with Xia Shenlan while eating.

Xia Shenlan is also very helpless, he will go out to the far sea in a while, and at that time the mermaid must be released back into the sea, it is better to say now than to drive the mermaid away at that time.

After two lukewarm days, it was time to attend Yao Chun's wedding.

Yao Chun's hometown is in Two and a half, a small place that has been degraded from a town to a township. There is no direct bus from Xia Shenlan, so he can only go to the county seat first, and then take the county bus back.

Xia Shenlan and Yao Chun made an appointment before ten o'clock, and Yao Chun asked someone to pick them up at the two and a half stations.

In order to catch up with this unembarrassing time, Xia Shenlan set off with Jiang Chenxing after seven o'clock.

As a result, he was still on the bus to the county seat, so Yao Chun called to remind him.

Xia Shenlan could only get off the car halfway, took a motorcycle and rushed to the two and a half, and arrived at the two and a half an hour earlier.

The roads in a small place like the two and a half units were not good, and Jiang Chenxing was so bumpy that he leaned against Xia Shenlan to rest with a pale face.

Xia Shenlan was worried about Jiang Chenxing, so she called Yao Chun to urge him.

Yao Chun asked for a detailed location, and asked them to stand and wait for a while, and they would come right away.

This wait is an hour.

Xia Shenlan waited furiously, especially Jiang Chenxing was obviously not feeling well.

If it wasn't for Yao Chun's wedding today, he would have to make a phone call to scold him.

Xia Shenlan called Yao Chun again, trying her best to suppress her anger and said calmly: "Where are your people?"

"Oh, where are you now?"

"Didn't I say, I'm waiting for your people at the two and a half stations?"

"Then you just wait there for a while. I've already called someone. Maybe there's a traffic jam on the road. I'll call you again, okay?"
