Chapter 22:
In the underwater cave, Shen An'an sighed out how many breaths of the day he took.
Ever since she came back from the "Queen's Choice Harem" event on that reef during the day, she has maintained this state of wanting to sigh anytime, anywhere.
Both the oarfish and the old turtle looked at her worriedly, and they were talking in front of Shen An'an while watching.
Old Turtle: "What's wrong with Xiao An?"
The oarfish: "Could it be that you lost the fight?"
Old Turtle: "...You think she's you, and you know how to fight and kill in one day. Why do I feel like she's broken in love in this state?"
The oarfish turned pale in shock: "Love breakup? Has she ever been in love? Who is she with? That human scientist who brings her meals every day? Or that savage octopus spirit... Oh, no, that octopus spirit is a girl, too cruel I almost forgot she was a woman."
The octopus spirit, who just carried the textile machine into the hole, swept over with a vicious eye knife, and the oarfish was instantly quiet like a chicken - not afraid, definitely not afraid, just that good men don't fight women.
The old sea turtle didn't notice the eye-to-eye fight between the oarfish and the octopus, and was still struggling with the little mermaid's lovelorn: "...wouldn't it be true love? Oh, you young people, I told you a long time ago, Don't fall in love if it's all right, love is too hurtful, you just don't listen. Look at me, I had a vigorous year-end relationship with the little dolphin back then, and I haven't fully recovered for so many years... Oh, yes, I Have I told you about my love story with the little dolphin? No, right? If not, I'll tell you again, when I was young..."
The oarfish scratched the red hair on the top of his head, and wailed: "...here again, you've said it more than a hundred times, okay?"
The old turtle looked at the oarfish apologetically: "...Really? Oh, I don't have a good memory when I'm old! Then let's go back to Xiao An again. What do you think happened to Xiao An? It's not really true. Broken in love, right? She’s not even an adult yet! It’s wrong to fall in love early.”
Shen Anan couldn't bear it any longer: "...don't guess, I didn't lose love!"
After a pause, Shen Anan wailed and added: "But it's better to be broken in love!"
At least things like falling out of love are generally not one person's fault.
Like now, all the mistakes are all her fault!
When she thought that the scientist was so kind to her, he cooked food for her every day, washed her hair, brushed her tail, and even gave her earrings and hairpins... But she always regarded him as the scumbag male protagonist Xu Qingshu, She was still thinking of saying "little brother scientist, there is no future for being a scumbag", and she wanted to die.
In fact, she still feels very incredible.
That scientist is so handsome, how could he not be the hero of the original novel? ? ?
Don't they all say that looks are justice?
And with such a handsome little brother, the original Little Mermaid would fall in love with that black suit at first sight, which is too unscientific!
…
But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that she admits the wrong person, flirts with the wrong person, and takes revenge on the wrong person.
So what is she going to do now?
Thinking about it, Shen Anan couldn't help but want to sigh again.
Alas, fish is tough!
Seeing her frowning appearance, the old turtle couldn't help but came over with concern and asked, "Tell me about it, if you have any unpleasant things, just tell me. Although we may not be able to help, we can accompany you anyway. Sigh together."
Shen Anan waved his fish's tail, thought about it, and said, "...That's right, I always thought that the scientist who brought me meals every day was a scum... No, he was a bad guy, but I actually misunderstood him. The bad guy is another One, he is really a good person. I feel very guilty now, I feel that I am particularly sorry for him, and I feel that the human scientist seems to be very sad, you say what should I do now, in order to express my feelings for him What about the guilt and apology of human scientists?"
The old turtle gave her a sideways look: "Didn't you say that your little angelfish can't make mistakes?"
Shen An'an raised her hand and rubbed her face. After a long while, she said pitifully, "... Angelfish can also make mistakes, but as long as they know they can make mistakes, they are still good angelfish, right?"
The oarfish on the side: "Yes!"
Old Turtle: "..." Okay, anyway, you look good, whatever you say is right.
Although the old turtle and the oarfish didn't understand what kind of grievances and grievances the little mermaid had with the human scientist, they understood the little mermaid's question just now.
A brief overview is - how to apologize to the other party after accidentally making a mistake!
Old Turtle: "Generally, you have to do what you like. For example, if he likes something, you can give him something. If he can't do it once, give it twice. If he feels your sincerity, he will naturally forgive you. "
gift?
That's a good idea.
But Shen An'an thought about it for a long time, and really didn't know what the human scientist liked.
On the contrary, the human scientist knew her very well, and knew that she liked delicious food and beautiful jewelry. Every time she gave her a gift, it could be delivered to Shen An'an.
Ouch, I can't think about it, I can't help but want to smash my fish head directly.
Shen An'an: "...In addition to giving gifts, is there any other way to express apology?"
The old turtle replied casually: "Of course the best way is to apologize directly, but you can't speak now, so this method is useless for you."
Shen Anan thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Although she can't speak, she can sing!
Now that the annoying Xu Qingshu is finally gone, she can go to the beach every night to sing to the little brother scientist, and then send some gifts every now and then. I believe that little brother will definitely feel her sincerity.
Thinking of this, Shen An'an was instantly revived with blood.
Although Zhou Suiyu defeated Xu Qingshu in the match against Xu Qingshu during the day, his mood today was like riding a roller coaster. Especially the picture of the little mermaid keeping Xu Qingshu at the end always lingered in his mind.
Although reason told him that even if the little mermaid really wanted to keep Xu Qingshu, it was definitely not because he liked it, but because of some unavoidable reason, but emotionally, he always found it difficult to accept.
So that he didn't even eat dinner that night, so he went to bed early.
In fact, I couldn't sleep, I just lay on the bed and closed my eyes.
By the way, thinking about the hateful little mermaid.
Thanks to him serving her every day with delicious food, and thanks to him working hard to send her garlands, earrings and hairpins...
Little Mermaid, you have no heart! !
I don't know how long I lay there, when Zhou Suiyu suddenly heard the song of the long-lost Little Mermaid.
The reason why it's been a long time is because Shen Anan hasn't sang a song for a long time.
After all, since Shen Anan rescued Zhou Suiyu from the mouth of a humpback whale, Zhou Suiyu delivered her delicious food on time, three meals a day, and there was no need for Shen Anan to sing to remind her.
Sometimes he even sent the little mermaid over without waiting by the reef in advance, and he would take the initiative to blow the little conch to remind her to come up to eat, for fear that the food would not be so delicious when it was cold, and the little mermaid would be unhappy after eating it.
Thanks to Zhou Suiyu, as a nerd who does research every day, he doesn't like to surf the Internet, otherwise he would know that what he did in the past is to use an Internet catchphrase now - licking fish!
Well, when others lick dogs, he licks fish!
Zhou Suiyu hurriedly went out to the beach without hearing the singing of the Little Mermaid like before. In fact, he hadn't even thought about whether to go out for an appointment.
He felt a little confused, and he didn't think about how to face Shen An'an.
He was afraid that as soon as he saw Shen An'an, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Shen An'an was hesitating between him and Xu Qingshu, and he was even more afraid that he would rush up and shake Shen An'an's shoulder on a whim and ask her - what exactly is Xu Qingshu? Okay, is it worth your hesitation between me and him?
If that's the case, then it's too out of line.
So Zhou Suiyu didn't move for a while, he just turned over, put his arms behind his head, and looked out the window.
From this angle, it is of course impossible to see the sea, let alone the Little Mermaid singing on the sea.
But Zhou Suiyu listened to Shen An'an's singing, and the image of the Little Mermaid singing under the moonlight appeared inexplicably in his mind.
Actually, The Little Mermaid was nice to him too.
He even gave him a pearl boat! Although the ship was a little ugly, it couldn't even be seen as a ship, but the little mermaid made it for him.
What's more, the little mermaid saved his life!
If there was no Little Mermaid, maybe he would have been buried in the belly of the fish long ago.
And the little mermaid hesitated between him and Xu Qingshu, tangled and tangled, after all, didn't he choose him?
Although this kind of process was very unpleasant to him, and even made him not want to recall it at all, the result was always good.
Going back 10,000 steps, assuming that the little mermaid really chose Xu Qingshu in the end, then no matter how disappointed and sad he was, wouldn't there be nothing he could do about it?
Could he really be angry with a little mermaid?
When Zhou Suiyu was very young, Zhou’s father once taught him that when we are good to a person, we must always be mentally prepared that the other person cannot return us with the same intention. Because coming and going is a very precious and rare thing in itself. But we still have to do our best to be good to the people around us, because only in this way can the other party repay us with the same intention.
At that time, Zhou Suiyu, who was so young, didn't quite understand this kind of mentality. Later, he thought, maybe what his father wanted to tell him was only one sentence - you can't force anything, but after doing your best, you can wait for a miracle.
Shen Anan felt like she was waiting for a miracle now.
She was waiting for Zhou Suiyu to appear.
But because this was only her first night to express her apology and sincerity, she was not particularly anxious. She just sat in the moonlight, sang slowly and leisurely, and then glanced at the path from the island to the beach from time to time.
In the past, if Zhou Suiyu came out of the island, he would go there.
Both the oarfish and the old turtle accompanied her by her side, listening to her singing by the way.
It's just that the oarfish came along because of the juvenile nature who loves to join in the fun, while the old turtle was reluctant to be caught by Shen An'an.
In such a quiet and gentle night, any kind of music can evoke a lot of emotions. Especially Old Turtle was so sentimental that he couldn't help but recall his little dolphin as he listened.
I don't know how his little dolphins are doing now, whether they are doing well, and whether they have a group of little dolphins...
Even the oarfish rarely jumped up and down, but changed back to its original shape and stood on the sea like a needle.
Shen Anan estimated that she had been singing for about an hour, and then stopped voluntarily.
Old Turtle: "Don't sing?"
Shen An'an: "I don't sing anymore, I'm tired."
Old Turtle: "Then take a break before continuing to sing?"
Shen An'an shook her head: "Let's sing here first today! It's enough if you have the meaning, it was originally meant to express apology, and if people don't accept it, there are others. You can't stop until you sing it out, it's too strong. "
The old turtle thought for a while, but it was rare for Shen An'an to be impressed. He used to think that Xiao An was a good kid everywhere, just a little bit childish, but now it seems that he is much more sensible than before.
Old Turtle: "Since we don't sing anymore, let's go back?"
Shen Anan continued to shake her head: "If I don't go back first, I have to go to a place first."
This time, not only the old turtle was stunned, but even the oarfish was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Shen Anan raised her chin towards the island: "I'm going there."
The old turtle became anxious when he heard it: "...you said just now that people have their own reasons for accepting or not accepting your apology. Why do you have to take the initiative to come to see them as soon as you turn around?"
Shen Anan looked at him and said seriously: "I didn't want to see him, I just wanted to go up and give him a gift secretly. Didn't you teach me? Apologize, apologize, apologize first, give a gift first, otherwise it's not enough to express Apologetic and sincere."
The oarfish looked up and down at Shen An'an curiously: "What gift do you want to give him? Why didn't I see where the gift was?"
Shen An'an took out a round and bright pearl from her body: "This. I cried myself I cried for such a round one after crying for a long time!"
Everyone: "..." Then you are really awesome!
Shen An'an held the pearl and looked at the old turtle beside him: "So Grandpa Turtle, could you please accompany me again?"
Old Turtle: "…"
He just said why Shen Anan sang a song well and had to pull him up to listen, so he was waiting for him here!
He is so old, and he has to be a mount for this little mermaid every day. It’s okay to be a mount, but this little mermaid doesn’t do serious business. Last time I rode him to steal vegetables, this time I rode him to give gifts…
Simply bullshit!
outrageous!
No reason!
The old turtle has written rejection from body to soul.
But Shen An'an knows how to coax the old turtle too well, just act like a spoiled child and say something nice.
So a few minutes later, Shen Anan sat on the old turtle with his tail crossed, and let him swim towards the island with his back on his back.
Now Zhou Suiyu is the only one left on the island, and Shen An'an's "heroic appearance" riding a turtle to the island had been exposed to Zhou Suiyu long ago when she went to the island to steal potatoes, so she even You don't need to avoid people anymore, just go straight ahead.
She even picked a handful of wildflowers on the way.
After all, as the saying goes, flowers should be given to beautiful women!
Zhou Meiren has been lying in bed to check the time, thinking that if the little mermaid is still singing at 9 o'clock in the evening, he will get up and go to the beach to take a look.
You don't have to say something, just take a look from a distance.
As a result, the hour hand just pointed to 9 o'clock, and the singing of the Little Mermaid stopped in time.
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
Is this fate preventing him from meeting the little mermaid?
He lay on the bed for a while.
In the end, he rolled over and sat up.
- I can't sleep anyway, so I just have a look. After all, if we rounded up, the little mermaid had already sang until 9 o'clock. He wasn't too slapped in the face.
Zhou Suiyu, who had completed his self-guided strategy, just turned over and put on his clothes, ready to change into his clothes and go to the beach to have a look. As a result, as soon as I opened the closet to pick clothes, I heard a slight movement outside the door, like some small animal rustling outside.
But when he leaned on the cabinet door and listened intently, the sound disappeared again.
He suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he ignored it and started picking out his shirt.
His personal clothes are basically black and white, and so are his shirts.
He took out a black one, hesitated, then changed to a white one, hesitated again, and changed back to a black shirt...
Speaking of which, the Little Mermaid is so beautiful, she probably doesn't like this kind of rigid black and white. Do you have to take some time to go shopping and buy some other colors of clothes?
You don't have to pick the bright ones, just buy some light ones, like light blue, or...
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to sigh a little.
- Zhou Suiyu, be hard-hearted, she is a heartless little mermaid, do you still care if she likes it or not?
outside the window.
Shen An'an was sitting on the old turtle, holding the wildflowers he picked on the roadside in one hand, and the pearl that he had meticulously cried out in the other, and looked inside.
As a result, as soon as he probed, he was blinded by the beauty of spring in front of him.
Under the light, the little brother scientist was changing his pajamas.
Although the shoulders are showing a little bit, but that skin is really white...
As the saying goes, look at the beauty under the lamp, and watch the gentleman under the moon...
Shen An'an was thinking about it, when she was caught by Zhou Suiyu who just turned his head to look over.
The moment they faced each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Shen An'an was about to squeeze out a smile to ease the embarrassment in front of her, when she saw Zhou Suiyu's ears, which were completely red with the naked eye.
Then, Shen An'an watched Zhou Suiyu as if he was guarding against some kind of hungry wolf, and quickly closed the pajamas that he had taken off halfway.
Shen An'an: "..."
Little brother scientist, listen to my explanation, I really didn't mean to peek at you changing clothes.
I really came to sincerely apologize to you. I have brought all the gifts. You believe me, you believe me! !
