under the sea

"Really?" He Zexi was noncommittal, he raised his eyes to Ye Lin, and said in a neutral tone, "I didn't expect you to know a lot."

He hates people who play tricks and sell tricks.

Seeing He Zexi's pale face, Ye Lin didn't try to defend herself, she just smiled, nodded and said, "Well, now I do know a lot more than you."

"However, although I can't tell you about Huazhi, I can still tell you about our own situation." Ye Lin added.

Our own situation?

"You know why?"

He Zexi's gaze was fixed on Ye Lin. This was something He Zexi couldn't figure out all this time, and it was also something he had been worrying about.

"Do you know companions?"

He Zexi shook his head, but in a trance, he recalled things from a long time ago, it seemed that when he fell from the boat into the sea, this word appeared in his mind, as if it came from Huazhi's mouth?

"He really didn't tell you." Ye Lin smiled and shook his head.

He Zexi suddenly felt a little tight in his chest, which made him feel like he was being kept in the dark. He glanced at the smiling Ye Lin, his face was a little ugly, "Say it straight, don't try to shut me up."

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Ye Lin said with a serious expression, "Companionship, the literal meaning of which is 'to be born with', is the existence of a companion of the sea clan, and is a marine and terrestrial amphibious creature in the human population. , the growth cycle is very slow, each family of sea monsters has only one companion that belongs to them, because it is precious, it should only be owned by the strongest of that family."

Ye Lin paused, glanced at He Zexi from the corner of the eye, and saw his fickle expression as expected.

Ye Lin hurriedly comforted: "Don't get excited, I was shocked when I found out the truth at Styx. After all, I have been a human for so many years, and it is a bit complicated to suddenly change the race."

Are you in a complicated mood?It's not complicated!The world is collapsing, okay? !

He Zexi didn't speak. After calming down for a long time, he finally calmed down, and said two words to Ye Lin with a cold face: "Nonsense."

Ye Lin's words were full of loopholes. If it was amphibious, how could Ye Lin say that she couldn't go back?If the growth cycle is slow, he has lived in the research institute since he was a child, and all his colleagues in the research institute watched him grow up, and they are all his witnesses. If there is a problem, it will have been discovered long ago.How could it not be human?

He was picked up by the professor from under the bridge hole. He is an abandoned baby. How could he not be human?

He Zexi was full of thoughts and his expression was heavy. He glanced at Ye Lin who was quietly staring at him smiling, wondering if Ye Lin had been tampered with by the Styx jellyfish.

Because now Ye Lin's character is not at all like her before, on the contrary, she is somewhat similar to that Styx jellyfish with a smiling face, even the upward curve of her mouth has become so similar.

He Zexi suddenly felt that Ye Lin might be fascinated by the Styx jellyfish.

"I think you should go back with me. You need to go to the hospital for a full-body examination and then put a prosthetic on your arm."

Being stared at by He Zexi with such a serious suggestion, Ye Lin was not angry, but just shook his head, and said to He Zexi, "Let me tell you a story."

"I don't want to hear it." He Zexi picked up his things and turned his head to look out the window, his eyes were empty and expressionless: "I just want to go back quickly now."

Ye Lin: ...

Ye Lin took a deep breath, his facial expression twitched violently, and he tried to squeeze out a calm smile, ignoring He Zexi, who had suffered a lot of psychological shock and began to pretend to be an ostrich to avoid the facts, and forcefully told a story.

"Once upon a time there was a young fisherman who was playing on the beach one day and found a teenage girl who was unconscious. She kindly rescued the little girl and brought her home when she woke up. , but did not expect that the little girl is a demented child with an IQ of only three or four years old. She has no idea who she is or where she comes from.

Out of desperation, the little girl temporarily stayed at the fisherman's house. Half a month later, the little girl's condition still did not improve. The place.

The fisher girl had no choice but to take the little girl back to the beach.It's just that when I left, I couldn't help but look back, and saw the little girl staring at her back, looking like she was about to cry, the fisher girl finally took her back with a soft heart, because the fisherman's family was not happy to raise an idler Then, the fisherman gritted her teeth and took the little girl to live and fish alone.

Soon after, the fisher girl's fiancé also left her, because no man is willing to raise a child of unknown origin for free, let alone that child is a fool who knows nothing.

As time passed, the girl's intelligence became more and more normal, and the fisherman's girl was also getting old.During this process, the fisherman girl discovered that the girl's face hadn't changed much for more than ten years, but the family affection for decades finally defeated the fear.

With her gentle maternal love, she concealed the fact that the girl was different from ordinary people, and carefully protected her innocent heart. Therefore, in the girl's heart, she firmly believed that she was no different from other people in the world.

She took the girl to move again and again, and went to school again and again. She used her actions to teach the girl the qualities of kindness, tenacity, and never giving up...even later, she sent the girl to the army. "

The story came to an abrupt end, followed by the sad ending of the tree wanting to be quiet but the wind not stopping, and the child wanting to raise but not being loved.Ye Lin shook her head helplessly, as if thinking of someone very important in her life, her facial expression softened.

On the other side, He Zexi was silent for a moment, and said, "Your ability to tell stories is not good, your tone has no ups and downs, and your language is flat and straightforward."

Ye Lin was choked, and could no longer maintain his elegance, so he asked He Zexi with a dark face, "Can you grasp the point?"

He Zexi stood up stiffly, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that the little girl in the story is you, and your mother is that kind fisher girl, right?"

clever!

Ye Lin nodded, but before she could laugh, she heard He Zexi's next words, which nearly vomited her to death.

"You don't read this kind of story in the future. The posts of those friends on the text forum are much more exciting than what you tell."

Ye Lin: "..."

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Ye Lin was helpless. She stroked her light blue pendant and looked at He Zexi, "You haven't mated with Huazhi yet, why did you start getting more and more with him?" more and more similar?"

He Zexi: "..."

Are you mocking Huazhi's low IQ and mocking him together?

And... what the hell is mating?

Does mating will become more and more like each other? !

As if he suddenly discovered something extraordinary, He Zexi looked at Ye Lin with a complicated expression.

"Don't look at me like that." Ye Lin rolled her eyes, and she didn't pretend to be ignorant anymore. She didn't want to play Tai Chi with He Zexi now. After all, she remembered He Zexi's kindness to her, so she should say Still have to say.

"I do not believe."

He Zexi spoke crisply, and looked at Ye Lin with crazy eyes, "Since you said that land and sea lived amphibiously, why did the Styx jellyfish say that I would not be able to return to the shore?"

"Well..." Ye Lin gently lifted up his nightdress, "Look at my ankles."

He Zexi lowered his head and glanced, and was immediately attracted. He lowered his head, and carefully stretched out his hand to touch something that appeared in the void, but his finger pierced through it as if there was nothing.

"what is this?"

On Ye Lin's bright and white ankle, there are circles of white thread entangled, the white thread is thin and densely emitting white light, one end of the thread is wrapped around Ye Lin's ankle, and the other end extends in the sea, ignoring the walls inside the ship, toward connected in a certain direction.

He Zexi's eyes followed the white line until it disappeared through the wall, then turned his head to look at Ye Lin with a calm face, and said hesitantly, "The other end is..."

"Yes, on Styx's ankle." Ye Lin put down the skirt, and the white line also disappeared, as if it didn't exist.

"After the identification, the twins will belong to each other from body to heart, and then this invisible thread will appear on our bodies, binding the two together forever. If we are too far apart, we may die. In other words, although we can go ashore, we must be together."

Jersey suddenly understood, what does the so-called identification mean?In other words, whether Ye Linle is happy or not, she is inseparable from the Styx jellyfish.

No matter how Ye Lin looked, she was quite happy...

"Then you can go back with him, Styx jellyfish have legs." Inexplicably, He Zexi subconsciously accepted the fact that Ye Lin is not human.

Ye Lin shook his head, "Styx can't go ashore. The thing under the devil's triangle needs his suppression. He can't leave here, so I can't leave here either. As for the reason why Styx said you can't go back, it is naturally objective. Speaking from above, Huazhi belongs to the deep sea and cannot go ashore."

Well, Huazhi really couldn't get ashore, even on that crab island, he almost died of dryness.And even if he went up, his appearance—well... Whether it was his ostentatious face or the tentacles of his lower body, he was a bit too abnormal, and he would be arrested and studied sooner or later.

He Zexi pondered for a moment, then continued to ask: "What is that thing?"

Ye Lin couldn't help laughing when he thought of He Zexi's attitude of evading questions and pretending to be stupid just now, and now he has become so sharp, "You still know how to pick the key points? But I really don't know about this, and Styx also Didn't tell me."

He Zexi hummed and stopped asking.

After this conversation, the amount of information was a bit large, and He Zexi felt a little messed up in his heart.

Professor, are you using him?

No, he clearly remembers childhood memories, he still remembers the little mermaid puppet given to him by the professor, and his life of more than 20 years has completely followed the life trajectory of a normal person.
