Although the reluctance generated during the separation period dissipated a little after being startled by the mermaid's behavior of sneaking behind his shadow before seeing the mermaid, Boyce really missed Garcia very much during the separation days.

Boyce was frightened by Garcia just now, but seeing Garcia, the fright he received before is nothing.

However, after the excitement of seeing Garcia gradually cooled, another very serious question was placed in front of Boyce.

The small town is no better than the research institute and the boat before, and Ivy can help them finish. There are many people here. If Boyce brings him home, he may be bumped into by the neighbors who come to visit. , and news of water monsters frequently spread a few days ago.

In case that group of curious young people had a sudden whim and wanted to reveal the secrets of the water monster, Boyce was not sure if Garcia could hide it.

"You go to the lake first." A few days ago, Boyce heard a few young people talking about the topic of exploring. Although the elders stopped him now, he might run out with his parents behind his back someday.

Compared with young people, people of the older generation still have a little awe of the water monster.

Fortunately, they saw that Garcia's position was different.

I don't know why, but thinking of this, Boyce felt a strange sense of relief.

……

Boyce's friends found that during this period of time, Boyce often went to the lake not far from the town alone.

Moreover, for some reason, Boyce, who had been in a hurry to sell the house before, was suddenly no longer in a hurry to sell, and he began to relax.

The friend looked at the other person talking and couldn't help but start to lose his mind. At the same time, Boyce, who was still smiling at the corner of his mouth, waved a hand in front of him.

"Boyce?"

Boyce came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on his friend again: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"What were you thinking just now?" After my friend said it, I suddenly remembered that someone had been saying that Beyce was in a relationship a few days ago, and that the other party was a good-looking man according to Beyce.

"Are you thinking about your boyfriend?" The friend asked curiously, and then he saw Boyce nodded across from him.

My friend has always liked desserts, but he also knew that Boyce was not very interested in these, but this time they met, he took the initiative to make an appointment at the dessert shop.

The friend looked at Boyce and couldn't help but asked again: "Is it because of your boyfriend that I ordered dessert?"

Boyce didn't deny it: "He loved it."

Garcia has always liked sweet things. In the past institute, Boyce often asked Anthony to bring some candy and other snacks back to feed Garcia.

But the conditions in the institute are no better than those outside. Now that Garcia has come here with him, Boyce also wants to show him something that he has not tried in the institute.

When he was leaving with his friends, Boyce let him go first, and after looking at the menu by himself at the counter, he continued to order a few desserts: "Please help me pack these up, thank you."

When it got dark, Boyce walked towards the lake with desserts, and met a group of excited young people on the way.

"What are you going to do?"

"We're going to find the water monster by the bridge." He said, waving his equipment at Boyce.

Garcia was bumped into several times in the lake and by the river, and the young people all believed that the "water monster" was by the river, and they didn't believe what others said that the "water monster" was in the lake.

Boyce saw a group of them bustling around, saw Boyce was carrying a bag in his hand, and asked him by the way: "Where are you going so late?"

"Go for a walk." Boyce said without changing his expression.

The people on the opposite side easily believed Boyce's words, and they remembered the house sales information that Boyce had posted before.

"Are you leaving here?"

"Correct."

"Are you going to be with your boyfriend?" They asked curiously, "Are you going to settle down in his hometown together?"

Boyce thought for a while, Haili was indeed Garcia's hometown, and nodded again.

A group of young people who had just grown up showed a somewhat enlightened expression on their faces: "You came back to pack your things!"

"Your boyfriend didn't come with you." Several young people put the equipment in their hands on the ground, and began to help Boyce blame the irresponsible boyfriend in their eyes.

Boyce agreed a few words, then pointed to a pile of equipment on the ground: "Aren't you still going to find the water monster?"

"If you don't go there, it will be too late later."

Boyce had asked Garcia before that "water monsters" did not exist at all, and there were no creatures in the water that could threaten them. The largest fish was only one meter long.

After watching them leave, Boyce walked towards the lake with the dessert bag and the dessert specially bought for Garcia, preparing to meet their "irresponsible boyfriend".

For some reason, Boyce actually had the illusion of stealing/love.

But when you think about it carefully, Boyce's behavior is indeed secretly meeting with his invisible lover behind the back of other people, it seems that there are indeed some similarities.

After walking to the lake, Garcia, who heard Boyce's footsteps, crawled out of the lake.

He looked at Boyce for a while, and suddenly said, "Aren't we similar to when we were in the institute?"

When Boyce heard this, he also remembered the days when he avoided other people and went to see Garcia in the middle of the night, as if it had been a long time.

Now Garcia no longer needs to be pushed into the laboratory for various experiments, he has regained his freedom.

……

Since Garcia sneaked over from the sea, Boyce has become a frequent visitor to various snack shops, and every time he bought a lot of candy and snacks to take home. "He took these back calmly in his eyes.

Originally Boyce was a little worried about whether Garcia would feel uncomfortable living in fresh water from the sea, but Garcia felt that there was nothing wrong with him in fresh water.

After Boyce worried for a few days, he remembered that when they lived together in their own dormitory, Garcia often soaked himself in the water, and indeed he did not experience any discomfort.

Boyce always felt that time passed quickly in the small town, because Garcia was also here, and there was still some time before his breeding season, and Boyce was not in a hurry to go to the beach with him.

The pace of rushing to find someone to sell the house has also slowed down.

Two months before Garcia's breeding season, Boyce's house found a suitable buyer. He was an out-of-towner who yearned for a leisurely life in a small town and wanted to move in. Boyce met him online. After the communication, I felt that this person was okay, and we agreed to go to see the house and sign the contract the next day.

That night, Boyce went to the lake to find Garcia, because he stayed in the water peacefully during this time, so the "water monster" that had been circulating for a while had been left behind by the residents of the town.

Boyce ran to the lake frequently. Although he was bumped into by others a few times, no one thought much about it.

"We're leaving here in a few days."

"Leave?" Garcia swallowed the candy that Boyce brought over, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. The time spent here was so comfortable that Garcia almost forgot that he wanted to take Boyce to the bottom of the sea. idea.

"I have contacted the buyer. If we can sell the house tomorrow, we will leave here after we sell the house."

"Sell the house?" Garcia didn't realize that he hadn't been to Boyce's house until Boyce mentioned that he was going to sell the house.

But he also knew that if he showed up in the small town, if someone found out, he would bring a lot of trouble.

Boyce noticed that Garcia originally wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words before they reached his mouth, and a sense of depression permeated his whole body.

Out of the understanding of Garcia after getting along for so long, Boyce suddenly understood the source of Garcia's loss.

"You want to go to my house with me?"

Garcia nodded, that's where Boyce lived.

For mermaids, the lair is just a place to rest and be replaced at any time, but Garcia knows that humans have various definitions for their residences.

For example, "home", "dormitory", "hotel"...

"Home" has a special meaning for human beings.

It seems that because of this, the residence that Garcia has never seen has become special to him.

It was "Boyce's home."

"Want to take a look?" Garcia suddenly heard Boyce's invitation.

"Can I go?" After all, it is impossible to say who has installed a surveillance camera at the door, and Garcia will suffer if he is photographed ashore.

"You wait here for my return."

Boyce had an idea, let Garcia wait in the lake, and went back to get some props.

About half an hour later, Boyce came back with a big bag of things on his back.

He asked Garcia to come out of the lake, and after using the props he brought, Boyce took a step back and looked at Garcia, who was tightly wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, most people can be fooled at night. It looks like a big man who is tightly wrapped up. Unless you look closely, you can't see anything unusual in the night.

When it was packed, Garcia walked behind Boyce, his long tail hidden in his robes, Garcia taking care not to let the tip of the tail show.

After Boyce walked for a while, he turned to look at Garcia: "Can I go?"

If not, Boyce had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking him to his own residence.

"Yes." Garcia tried his best to imitate the walking posture of human beings, and lifted the hem of the clothes with a hand hidden in the sleeve: "Let's go."

The way to Boyce's house was smooth, and they were lucky to meet no one.

Garcia followed Boyce into the house.

Boyce's home is similar to the residence Garcia had seen in the video before, but Garcia couldn't help looking around, looking for traces left by Boyce's past.

The mermaid untied a bunch of things on her body, her tail slid on the floor, and she wandered around the house curiously.

Boyce looked at Garcia, who was full of interest in his house, and for some reason suddenly came up with the idea that he might consider keeping the house.

The main reason why Boyce came back to sell the house this time was that he thought that Garcia could not come to the inland, and Boyce would go to the bottom of the sea with him, so the house here seems to have lost its use.

However, now that Garcia can come here through rivers and lakes, Boyce's house in the small town can also become a place where they occasionally stop and rest here.

Boyce was thinking about this, when he suddenly heard Garcia calling himself: "Boyce!"

"What's the matter?" Boyce walked towards the direction of the sound, and found that the mermaid's body was slightly bent, and its fingers were sliding on the wall.

"Is this what you wrote?" He pointed to a line of words on it and looked at him in surprise.

Boyce leaned over and took a look. It was probably the words he left when he just bought the house. The handwriting and tone on it still look a little childish now a few years later.

And Garcia has already pushed open a door, and his eyes fell on the small room.

Inside are the things Boyce collected when he went to the institute, including objects in various photos of him.

Garcia picked up the pile of photos he had asked Boyce what he would take with him when he left.

After thinking about it, Boyce told him, "There doesn't seem to be anything to bring."

Almost none of his items on land are suitable for living under the sea. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that he only needs to bring himself with him.

Garcia recalled Beyce's previous answer, and knew that these things should not be what Beyce wanted to take away.

He carefully held a thin photo, which showed Boyce's appearance when he was a child. He was about one meter old, and there was still baby fat on his face, but he could vaguely see the shadow of growing up.

Looking at this photo, Garcia truly admired human beings. They were able to preserve the images of the past, and they can easily see the past after more than [-] years.

Now, more than 20 years later, at Boyce's home, he saw Boyce's appearance more than [-] years ago.

In this house with various objects, Garcia saw the traces of Boyce’s growth in the past. Although he did not know enough about human life, Garcia could still glimpse a corner of the traces of Boyce’s growth.

It wasn't just Garcia, Boyce looked at the mermaid's focused gaze, scanned the room, and also recalled his past.

After a while, Garcia put down the photos in his hands with some reluctance, and looked at more objects that could not be taken away by Boyce, and the reluctance in his eyes became heavier.

Boyce had told him before that the house could be sold for money.

He felt a little disappointed, if he also had money, he could give Boyce the money and let him keep the house.

But he only has pearls that can be found on the bottom of the sea by the way, and various dim and old round coins found on sunken ships. According to Garcia's understanding, coins are the least valuable currency in human society.

"When is that guy coming tomorrow?" Garcia asked Boyce.

"Tomorrow at twelve noon."

Garcia glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already early morning before he knew it. That is to say, in another dozen hours, the "home" that originally belonged to Boyce would erase the traces of Boyce. belongs to another person.

This is completely different from Garcia and the others robbing each other of territories, losing or gaining new territories and lairs.

"Garcia?" Boyce's voice interrupted his thoughts.

The mermaid looked in the direction of Boyce, who had already picked up the thing he had just picked off.

"It's getting late, you should go back."

After all, he couldn't spend the night here. It was okay at night, and in the daytime, the camouflage Boyce gave him couldn't hide from other people's eyes at all.

……

The next day, Beuys sat on the couch absently and waited for the buyer. He sent him a message early this morning, implying that he didn't really want to sell the house, but the buyer insisted on coming to see it. Only then are you willing to give up.

At about twelve o'clock, the buyer knocked on Boyce's door on time.

After he came in, he looked around, with satisfaction visible to the naked eye.

"Want to see the house first?" Boyce asked him.

"No." He shook his head, "I'm very satisfied."

He said, looking at Boyce: "I heard that you are selling the house to move?"

"That's it."

"I am very satisfied with the house, but can the price be lowered." The buyer said, "Anyway, you will never come back again, and this is of no use to you..."

"Sorry." Before the buyer finished speaking, Boyce interrupted him directly, "I'm not selling the house."

"why?"

Boyce found an excuse at random: "The money you gave is too low."

Boyce was not short of the money to sell the house. He sent the man out, remembering what he said when he sent Garcia away last night.

"This is your home, and I want to have one with you..." Instead of a lair, Garcia didn't finish the rest, but he really thought in his heart that it would be best if Boyce was here. building.

"But I don't have money." The mermaid's tone sounded a little aggrieved to Boyce, "If I had money, I would be able to buy the house."

Boyce looked at him, not knowing how to explain to him that he didn't actually sell the house for the money, but because he thought the house was useless before.

Now, however, it no longer seemed pointless to keep the house.

After sending the person away, Boyce withdrew the listed house sale information. He thought, since Garcia likes this place, he should keep it...

The author has something to say: At this time, I should pretend to be calm and calm, especially pretending to say: a mere [-] words
