Chapter Twenty-Four: Underwater
Indeed, Shu Kui doesn't believe it and won't drink it.
Xiao Sun looked at her and said, "I did this without your consent, it was my fault, but you have been trying to find a way to extend your life, I thought that when I told you what this blood does, you will feel happy and will like this gift." ”
Shu Kui knew that he had good intentions, and what he said was not unreasonable, but for a while, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't think of what to say.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Sun apologized again, "I can't spit it out anyway, so you can reluctantly accept it." ”
Shu Kui glared at him, wanting to get angry but couldn't, he really couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't you want to come down and try it?" Xiao Sun lost no time in inviting.
Shu Kui sighed helplessly, took two steps towards the pool, thought about it, and felt inappropriate: "Will I grow cheeks?" ”
"No, it won't." Xiao Sun replied in the affirmative, "Your appearance will not change in any way. ”
Shu Kui was slightly relieved and began to wonder what the situation would be if he got into the water.
"Come on." Xiao Sun raised the fishtail and deliberately stirred up a big wave.
Shu Kui turned his heart sideways, simply stopped being entangled, and didn't use the stairs, he jumped into the pool with a bang.
As soon as he entered the water, the familiar feeling of coldness and suffocation immediately hit, and immediately after, there was a sense of relaxation all over his body.
Shu Kui opened his eyes and felt that his vision was clear, no different from that on land, and his eyes were not painful or astringent, and at the same time, he found that Xiao Sun was leaning in front of him, his eyes full of questions.
She tried to relax, trying to breathe, but her nose seemed to lose its effect. However, soaking in the water from head to toe, she did not feel suffocated, and it was as natural as on land.
Xiao Sun saw that Shu Kui did not have any discomfort, so he swam back a distance and turned around.
This is a standard diving pool with a high platform, the water is five meters deep, Xiao Sun stands upright, looks a little taller than when he was on the shore, the upper body is a strong male body, the lower body starts from the crotch, is a whole fishtail, elbows and back are in the middle of the long triangle transparent soft fins, shoulders and waist have scattered scales, dotted, very beautiful.
Shu Kui looked at the creature in front of him that should only appear in mythology, and had no other thoughts than to admire the magic of creation.
Xiao Sun waited in place for a while, then twisted his tail and pulled Shu Kui to swim to the edge of the pool and surfaced.
"How?" He asked.
"It's unimaginable." Shu Kui pulled the handrail on the pool wall, still immersed in shock.
"Does it feel good to not drown?" Xiao Sun grinned.
Shu Kui nodded, finally understanding why the ancestors were so eager for the blood of the merman, and suddenly thought of a question: "If we kill a lot of your people, then we should be enemies between us, right?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Sun did not deny it, "You pollute the waters, indiscriminately hunt the water tribes, and trap the merman women who have no combat effectiveness for personal gain and lust, so the merman and the human race are feuding." ”
Such straightforward words made Shu Kui feel very uncomfortable when he heard it.
"But that's all in the past." Xiao Sun's words changed, "My grandfather doesn't like human beings, and when he came to my father, most of the people he came into contact with were people from Shengzeguo, even if he had been to the world, he didn't have any likes or dislikes for mortals, just ordinary exchanges, not to mention, except for you, I haven't seen other mortals." ”
"So, we shouldn't have any grudges." Shu Kui didn't expect such a relationship between the two races.
"Of course there is no hatred, otherwise I would like you to drown, how can I give you to drink my blood?" Xiao Sun made a joke.
Shu Kui cooperated with a smile, but somehow, he was still worried about the fact that the two clans were feuding.
"Are you still going to learn to swim?" Xiao Sun was no longer entangled in this, and changed the topic again.
"I can't even drown, and I still have to learn how to swim." Shu Kui wanted to make his tone sound as relaxed as possible.
"Then what will you do when you return to the world? Can't swim, can't drown, isn't it a freak? "Xiao Sun is quite thoughtful.
Shu Kui was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was reasonable, and wondered how he didn't think of it.
Xiao Sun didn't say anything anymore, and went to the pool on the other side to get a lifebuoy.
"Okay, you teach me." To learn to swim with a merman is something Shu Kui never dreamed of.
Xiao Sun put the lifebuoy in front of him: "You help you float, I'll teach you to tread water first." ”
Shu Kui grabbed the lifebuoy and was about to ask the legless little grandson how to do the demonstration action, when he saw him sink into the water, pinched his two feet, and began to make movements.
Shu Kui thought it was fun and was a little unaccustomed to it, but when he thought that he might be treated as an undrowned freak in the future, causing a lot of trouble, he calmed down and followed along.
The two of them soaked in the pool all afternoon until Kobayashi came to inform him that dinner was ready.
"Tomorrow to continue." Xiao Sun said, "What swimming style do you want to learn?" ”
"Freestyle." Shu Kui didn't think about it, and blurted out.
Xiao Sun nodded and waved goodbye to her.
Shu Kui ate this meal very deliciously, firstly, she was really hungry after exercising, and secondly, when she thought that she could be with Xiaosun again tomorrow, her mood was inexplicably better.
That night, I had no dreams all night, and when I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, Shu Kui got out of bed, stretched out, and felt that the sky didn't seem to be as gloomy as it was the previous two days.
Washing, changing clothes, eating breakfast, preparing swimsuits, all done as fast as possible, and then, sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a book, but couldn't help but keep glancing at the bouquet of daisies on the coffee table.
No one went in and out, no one made a sound, Shu Kui's soul was unstoppable, his mind was full of yesterday's events, and he replayed it over and over again like a movie.
"What are you seeing, so interesting?" Xiao Sun's voice suddenly sounded.
Shu Kui looked up sharply and saw that he was looking at the book in his hand, and he didn't know how long he had been standing behind him.
"Which paragraph?" Xiao Sun's attention is on books.
"What?" Shu Kui didn't react for a while.
"Let me see what one is laughing, let me see it too." Xiao Sun pointed to the page.
"Oh, nothing." Shu Kui closed the book with a "snap".
Xiao Sun looked at her and shrugged: "If you don't let you see it, forget it, let's go." ”
Shu Kui responded, and hurriedly went to change into a swimsuit, but next, he followed all the way to the pond.
"Study here today?" She looked at the pool and was afraid to jump out of it again.
"I'll go to the pool in the afternoon, and now, I'll take you down to play." Xiao Sun has already arranged today's schedule.
"Is there any big fish like yesterday down there?" Shu Kui didn't want to be used as bait anymore.
"Nope." Xiao Sun began to walk towards the pond, "Dan salmon is already very rare, even if it appears again, it will not be as big as yesterday, besides, in the water, I am very powerful, don't be afraid." ”
Shu Kui was a little relieved and walked in, but as soon as the water was waist-high, something touched her feet, so frightened that she grabbed Xiao Sun's arm and wanted to climb on him.
"It's a raccoon fish, it doesn't bite, it likes to play with me, it's very lively." Xiao Sun knows everything about underwater conditions.
Shu Kui lowered his head, and through the clear water, he could see groups of small black and white fish swimming nearby, and from time to time one or two would break away from the group, swim around them a few times, and touch their legs and feet with their beaks or tails.
"It's deep ahead, watch your step." Xiao Sun said, taking Shu Kui's hand.
Shu Kui touched his soft and damp palm again, and immediately felt a lot more relieved, so he didn't refuse.
The two continued to walk forward for a while, and a huge pit appeared at the bottom of the pool, and Xiao Sun turned into a merman, pulled Shu Kui, and went straight to the bottom of the pit.
Shu Kui had no idea of the depth of the water at all, only felt that the light was getting darker and darker, and in the end, it was almost pitch black.
Fortunately, not long after diving down again, Xiao Sun stopped, grabbed Shu Kui's shoulder, and hummed a song in a low voice.
The song spread far under the silent water, and after a few seconds, there was a sudden blue light around it, which was sparse at first, and gradually more and more, until finally it formed a brilliant Milky Way in the water.
Shu Kui was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Sun, and found that he was also looking at him, with gentle eyes and a faint smile.
For a while, the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
In this place where it is like being in the vast starry sky, looking at a handsome guy who is almost perfect is a scene that only appears in fairy tales, Shu Kui's mind is already blank, and he doesn't even know that he is slowly approaching Xiao Sun.
And at the moment when the lips of the two were about to touch, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the water, and Xiao Sun hurriedly pulled Shu Kui to swim to a big rock and protected her between his two arms.
Fortunately, the rapids did not last long, but after more than ten seconds, the bottom of the water returned to calm, but the Milky Way could not bear such a rush, and it had long since dispersed in all directions, and there was no trace of it.
Xiao Sun still took Shu Kui's hand and pointed in one direction.
Shu Kui understood and followed him on.
A few minutes later, there was another light in front of him, and this time, it was clearly the white light of Jin Shengshi.
As the light got closer and closer, Shu Kui found that the bottom of the pool was under his feet, and the place where the light came from was a hut with a red roof and white walls, only a door, and no windows.
Xiao Sun led her to the front of the house, opened the door and made a "please" gesture.
Shu Kui touched the ground with his feet and entered the cabin like a space walk, and saw that there was only one bed inside, and the furnishings were extremely simple.
At this time, Xiao Sun faced each other with his palms and pulled out, making a big bubble and covering Shu Kui from head to toe.
"Can you come in?" Shu Kui found that there was no water in the bubbles, and he was able to speak freely again.
Xiao Sun smiled, asked Shu Kui to sit down on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, also got into the bubble, and sat next to him.
"This is your home?" Shu Kui asked.
"I usually live here." Xiao Sun looked around, "I'm sorry, there's nothing to entertain you." ”
"You're welcome." Shu Kui was still thinking about the beautiful scenery just now, "Are those glowing fish all fish?" ”
