Shi Li came to his senses for a long time and reached out to him. Chen Jingyan leaned over and carried the trembling mermaid out, putting it on his legs to comfort him like a child. Shi Li hugged in his arms. Even though he always felt that he was a bad person, he still received his comfort uncontrollably. The fears that wrapped her tightly were finally dispelled, and she calmed down a lot.

"...That person must have discovered me, he is going to bring someone to catch me." Shi Li choked.

Chen Jingyan gently stroked the spine on her back and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, I've already done it."

Shi Li shook her head, tears fell from the corner of her eyes, and when it fell on the ground, it turned into pearls. Chen Jingyan carefully picked up all the pearls and put them in his pocket on his clothes.

"I didn't want to cry, I'm just... the mermaid is relatively fragile, you know?" Shi Li explained while crying. She hadn't done this before. Maybe it was because she lost her legs, or maybe it was because of the instinctive uneasiness of the mermaid staying on the shore that she magnified her fear and could not control her tears.

Chen Jingyan looked at her with a funny look: "It is only in the fairy tales you tell that mermaids are so fragile."

Shi Li sucked his nose: "Do you still remember?"

"Remember, the story of the little mermaid is very interesting." Chen Jingyan smiled slightly.

Shi Li sighed: "Where is it interesting? Is it a horror story?"

"No, it's a fairy tale," Chen Jingyan saw that her attention had shifted a little, so he hugged her and lay down on the bed. The damp fish tail made the bedding wet, but he didn't care at all, and just put Shili on his arm with care. "The ending of the little mermaid is very satisfactory."

"...It's not perfect. It's obvious that she saved the prince, but the prince fell in love with someone else. She exchanged her singing voice for her legs, but she could only watch the prince and the princess's affection. In the end, it would turn into bubbles on the sea, which was not perfect at all." Shi Li sucked her nose and habitually found a suitable position in his arms.

Her movements were so skillful that she seemed to have done them countless times, but he clearly remembered that they had never been so close to each other. Chen Jingyan's eyes became dark and then he returned to peace.

"It's so miserable, this story is so miserable. This is the only one among so many stories I have told you, who doesn't look like a fairy tale." Shi Li said with red eyes.

Chen Jingyan smiled slightly: "But I like it very much. Can you tell me again?"

"...You have heard so many times before, isn't it enough?" Shi Li was speechless. I wonder if it was because this was the only fairy tale about a mermaid that she had told him. The last time he came over, he expressed his crazy love for the story, pestering her and telling it over and over again. She was really almost vomiting, but she didn't expect that he would listen to it today.

"Speak again, I want to listen." Chen Jingyan stroked her long seaweed-like hair.

Shi Li snorted, although she was reluctant, she still started to say: "A long time ago, there was a beautiful mermaid..."

Chen Jingyan listened quietly to the story, as if he was thinking nothing, and as if he had thought a lot. Shi Li's voice was gentle and melodious, the most wonderful voice he had ever heard. Now the owner of this voice is telling himself a legendary story.

After Shi Li finished speaking, Chen Jingyan spoke: "Would you please tell me again?"

Shi Li: "…"

Now it is the time when she is showing off her favor, so she will naturally not refuse, so she told him again, but this time it was a lot simpler. The story that I just finished in five minutes was over, and this time it ended in one minute.

"Do you still listen?" She felt a little thirsty.

Chen Jingyan seemed to notice her thoughts and got up and poured her a glass of water. The temperature was exactly what she liked.

"I don't listen anymore, I feel that if you listen again, you will summarize it for me in one sentence." Chen Jingyan said helplessly.

Shi Li was amused by his words, and paused after seeing his expression. He always felt that he was not like a person who hated him... so he was a little scary.

Shi Li blinked and sat there obediently.

Chen Jingyan put down the cup and returned to the bed, pulled her down and kissed her temple.

His movements were intimate, as if the gap between the two people never existed, but Shi Li felt a little strange in his heart. Every time he was moved by him, he felt that he was cheating, and it happened again and again.

She still loves the male supporters before, and each one loves very much. The one she loves the most is the one from the previous world. Because her love has not yet faded, she feels confused when facing this situation where she is still moved by the male supporters now.

"I still like you to hear the story of the little mermaid again." Chen Jingyan's voice pulled her out of this confusion.

Shi Li came back to his senses slightly: "I thought you would like adventure stories more."

"I take risks every day and don't need to listen to stories." Chen Jingyan said.

Shi Li thought it was true, his life was even more exciting than adventure stories, so he naturally looked down on that fiction. She laid on his arm and suddenly remembered the bottle of medicine he used to him when they met again.

"You said before that the medicine you gave me was obtained from the witch on the sea?" Shi Li asked curiously.

Chen Jingyan paused: "Well, you can call it the sea witch directly."

"...Is there really such a person?" Shi Li was dumbfounded. When she first came over, she was caught on board. She had no chance to see the wonders of this sea area and appreciate the fantasy of this world.

Chen Jingyan smiled slightly: "I'm not a human being, I've already left the category of human beings."

"What is that?" Shi Li was puzzled.

Chen Jingyan: "It's not easy to say."

He didn't have an accurate answer twice. Shili didn't know if he didn't want to say it or could not answer it at all. She thought for a moment and changed the question: "Then why did she give you medicine."

"I took a box of treasures found in the wreck to give it to me, and it gave me the medicine." Chen Jingyan did not hide this.

Shi Li was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask him why he had to change this medicine, but before he could say it, he suddenly realized the reason: "...Did you prepare it for me specifically?"

"Yeah." Chen Jingyan admitted frankly.

Shi Li's voice was dry: "If, if you didn't find me, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"It's rare to meet a sea witch. Maybe it's only once in this life. Everyone you meet will not give up such an opportunity. They always want to exchange something with it," Chen Jingyan curled his lips, "And I don't know what you will look like when you meet you again, whether you are injured or bullied. You must prepare more things just in case."

"...Why should I be so kind to me? I almost died at sea alone, right?" Although he knew that he might not have shown this now, the magical effect of that bottle of medicine was not a scam. No matter what opportunity he got, it was true that he kept with him.

She didn't believe that he was prepared for other mermaids, he was given to her, that was given to her.

Chen Jingyan was silent for a long time after listening to her question, but in the end he had only one sentence: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

"But……"

"Whether you believe it or not, I have never blamed you." Chen Jingyan interrupted seriously, and with his 10% hatred value, this expression was particularly sincere.

Shi Li looked at him for a long time and finally whispered: "Believe it or not, I really don't plan to leave you this time."

Chen Jingyan laughed, stretched out his rough fingers and scraped her nose. Although he had already relaxed his strength, Shi Li's nose was still red.

"Little liar." His only remaining eyes were filled with tenderness.

Shi Li was a little anxious: "I didn't lie to you. I really don't plan to leave. Just look at me, I didn't run away when we swim together today. I didn't..."

"I don't ask you to stay sincerely for the rest of your life, I just ask you to love me better than love others." Chen Jingyan interrupted her again.

Shi Li was stunned for a moment, and asked dumbly for a while: "What does it mean?"

"It's nothing, I just want to be your most important person. Let's sleep for a while, my little mermaid." Chen Jingyan closed his eyes.

Shi Li looked at him with a silence, and endured it for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "I'm not a little mermaid."
