Chapter Twenty-Three: Are You in Love?

Shu Kui thought that the fish without any seasoning would not taste good, but after chewing a few times, he found that the fish meat was soft and tender, with a faint salty taste, not only not fishy, but also fresh and fragrant, with indescribable deliciousness.

"How?" Xiao Sun asked again.

"It's delicious, it's super delicious." Shu Kui swallowed the fish, "It's really worth bloodletting as bait." ”

"I'll just say it." Xiao Sun got up proudly, and the chopsticks under his hand didn't stop, "You're welcome, try to eat as much as possible, otherwise it will be gone." ”

The two of you fought for me, and quickly ate all the fish heads, Shu Kui didn't even let go of the bones, and sucked all the soup inside before he stopped.

Xiao Sun lay on his back on the ground: "Hey, it would be better if I had some more wine." ”

"What kind of wine do you want?" The sudden voice of the third person really startled Shu Kui.

Xiao Sun got up with a grunt, and saw Huang Xiao standing not far away, looking at him expressionlessly.

"The weeds in the yard, have you cleaned up?" Huang Xiao walked over slowly and looked into the casserole.

"Nope." Xiao Sun said honestly.

"When are you going to clean it up?" Huang Xiao glanced at Shu Kui again.

"Afternoon." Xiao Sun said.

"Okay." Huang Xiao didn't look like he had caught his lazy leader at all, "Now, send Miss Shu Kui back, lunch is ready." ”

Xiao Sun didn't speak, picked up the rest of the fish, walked to the shore, and looked at Shu Kui.

Shu Kui understood, also walked over, and got on the boat.

Xiao Sun threw the fish into the cabin and pushed the boat into the water, getting farther and farther away from the island.

"Aren't you coming up?" Shu Kui saw that he was always in the water, only showing his head.

"It's faster." Xiao Sun said, and a fierce man stabbed down.

Immediately, the boat moved as fast as if it had been equipped with a motor, and in a short time it reached the place where the two men had first launched.

Xiao Sun pushed the boat ashore and wiped the water on his face: "Are you free in the afternoon?" ”

"I've been empty." Shu Kui replied a little helplessly.

"I'll go find you after dinner, okay?" Xiao Sun said as he took off his soaked shirt and wrung up the water.

"Uh...... Good. Shu Kui stepped off the boat, just saw his **'s upper body, was stunned, and agreed in a daze.

Xiao Sun smiled, picked up the lotus canopy in the cabin and handed it over: "I will give the remaining salmon to Uncle Qiao and steam it to eat at night." ”

Shu Kui answered, nodded, and didn't know where to turn his gaze.

"I'll see you later." Xiao Sun said hello and dragged the wooden boat into the warehouse.

Shu Kui sleepwalked all the way back to the villa, came to the dining room, sat down on a chair, and his eyes were full of Xiao Sun's well-defined chest muscles and sunny smile, holding a pair of chopsticks, but he didn't move.

"Isn't the dish the right for your appetite?" Kobayashi asked from the side.

Shu Kui came back to his senses suddenly: "No, I just ate just now, and I'm almost half full." ”

Xiao Lin didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Shu Kui saw that she was about to disappear again, so he hurriedly said something to stop her.

"What else is needed?" Kobayashi asked.

Shu Kui actually wanted to inquire about Xiao Sun's situation, but he was a little embarrassed, and after a long time, Ai Ai picked a question that he thought would not be too obvious: "Do all the mermaids live in the sea?" ”

"As long as you have clean water at a sufficient depth, it doesn't have to be salty." Xiao Lin immediately realized who he was talking about, "Xiao Sun usually lives in the pond - he can't be on the shore for more than a day and a night in a row, otherwise he will die." ”

"Then, can the merman's singing also confuse people?" Shu Kui has always believed that the mermaid and the kraken are the same creature in different mythological systems, otherwise, how to explain that she is a little abnormal after listening to Xiao Sun sing?

"They sing to communicate, and sometimes to call." Xiao Lin did not answer this question clearly, "However, I don't know the specifics, I haven't had much contact with the merman, it's just hearsay." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was impossible to continue to ask in depth.

After Xiaolin left, Shu Kui ate the vegetables absentmindedly, and without a few chopsticks, he felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and he completely lost his appetite.

She simply put down the chopsticks, took the lotus canopy that had been placed on the table, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The sky was always gray, and even the flowers and plants in the yard were affected, even the colorful pansies were like a layer of gray, and they were not bright at all.

Shu Kui couldn't help but think of Xiao Sun again.

She is a person who is relatively slow to feelings, and she will not be tempted lightly, her first love and first kiss were in high school, but after graduation, the two parted ways. In college, in the past four years, there have been two or three people chasing her back and forth, but she is still immersed in the beauty of her first love, and she feels that those people are not as perfect as her ex-boyfriend, and none of them are eye-catching.

And now, after only half a day of contact with Xiao Sun, his image lingers in his mind, which makes Shu Kui very confused and a little scared, and even thinks that this will be the "beautiful man's plan" of the man who brought her, so as to trap her here and achieve some purpose.

When he was thinking wildly, Xiao Sun suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

Shu Kui was startled, hurriedly gathered his mind, lost the lotus pod, got up and looked for a book casually.

After a while, Xiao Sun came in, and at a glance he saw the cover of the book used to cover it: "Quantum mechanics, you know?" ”

"This ...... I just want to see how deep it is. "Shu Kui is a liberal arts student, and he has almost forgotten the physics knowledge he learned in junior high school.

"So, Gao Shen?" Xiao Sun asked casually.

Shu Kui put the book back on the shelf: "It's unfathomable, I can't understand it at all." ”

Xiao Sun couldn't help laughing, and raised his left hand, which had been behind his back: "Give it to you." ”

In front of Shu Kui is a small handful of daisies, with white petals and bright yellow stamens, which bloom lively and lovely.

"There are no sunflowers here, and neither are sunflowers." Xiao Sun smiled and stuffed the flower into Shu Kui's arms.

"Thank you." Shu Kui was a little embarrassed, but he was very happy.

Xiao Sun walked around the living room, picked a vase that was placed on the windowsill for decoration, took a small half bottle of water, and asked Shu Kui to insert the flowers in it.

"Okay, now why don't you go swimming?" After placing the vase on the coffee table, Xiao Sun gave a mention.

"I won't." Shu Kui rarely goes into the pool.

"I'll teach you." In Xiao Sun's opinion, this is not a problem at all.

"Where's the swimsuit?" Shu Kui was still hesitating.

"It should be in your room." Xiao Sun looked around, "Or, I'll accompany you to read?" ”

"Forget it, let's go swimming." Shu Kui knew that with him by his side, he would definitely not be able to focus on the book.

"Then I'll wait for you in the pool." After Xiao Sun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Shu Kui called Xiao Lin, asked for a swimsuit to change, walked to the pool with a bath towel, and saw Xiao Sun lying on the edge of the pool on the other side with his back to her, and there seemed to be something different on his body.

"Hey." She said hello.

Xiao Sun turned his head, smiled, and plunged into the water in a graceful posture, and a huge fishtail flashed on the surface of the water.

"This is what you look like in the water?" When he got closer, Shu Kui also saw clearly, he had indeed become a little different from before.

"Well, here, it's the cheeks." Xiao Sun took the initiative to raise his head and turn slightly, showing several cracks under his mandibles on both sides.

"It's like a shark." Shu Kui saw the novelty and couldn't help blurting out.

"The word shark also refers to sharks because their gills are very similar to ours." Xiao Sun explained.

"Do you have fins?" Shu Kui could only see above his chest.

Xiao Sun laughed: "Yes, when you come to the water, you can see more clearly." ”

"I can't swim." Shu Kui emphasized again.

Xiao Sun propped up his hands, sat on the edge of the pool, patted his side, and changed the topic: "I recognize the family crest in your hand, you are Ling Jiuchuan's person." ”

Shu Kui also sat down, didn't speak, and touched his wrist.

Xiao Sun thought for a moment, and then said: "I am a vassal to the Ling family, we are old people, I want to give you a gift." ”

"What?" Shu Kui asked subconsciously.

"Look there." Xiao Sun pointed from afar.

Shu Kui looked in the direction of his finger and recognized it for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

At this time, she felt that her shoulder was lightly touched, so she reflexively turned around, but she didn't want to be black.

It wasn't until a stream of salty liquid poured into her mouth that she realized that it was coming from Xiao Sun's mouth, that is, at this moment, they were talking to each other.

Shu Kui jumped up, his throat tightened, and he swallowed the liquid in his mouth.

"What are you doing? What is it? She was angry, embarrassed, and afraid.

"Don't be nervous, it's just my blood." Xiao Sun had already expected such a reaction.

"Why are you giving me your blood? Still...... Still...... And give it like this! Shu Kui's face was red all the way to the base of his neck.

"So you don't drown." Xiao Sun raised his chin towards the pool, "If you don't believe it, you can go down and try it." ”

Shu Kui's mouth was full of blood, and he just wanted to rinse his mouth quickly, and he was not in the mood to swim in the pool at all.

"Come on." Xiao Sun jumped into the water and beckoned.

Shu Kui ignored it, turned around and left.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd like it." Xiao Sun said loudly in the back.

"Why should I like it...... This one? Shu Kui didn't know if he was referring to blood or kisses, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Because in order not to be drowned, you have killed a lot of mermaids openly and secretly." Xiao Sun looked innocent.

These words made Shu Kui stunned for a moment, and understood that from ancient times to the present, in order to pursue immortality, human beings have indeed made a lot of efforts.

"Then you can just let me drink it." Thinking of this, her anger in her heart decreased slightly.

"Would you like to drink?" Xiao Sun tilted his head, "If I had appeared in the human territory unsuspectingly before, I would have been killed and bloodletted as soon as possible, but now, you all don't believe in our existence anymore, if I tell you directly, come, drink a sip of my blood, you will not be drowned, do you believe it?" Will you drink it? ”
