I found that Shi didn't like to use human language, and unless it was a formal setting, he always used simple juvenile mermaid language to communicate. And I just learned from Thomason that he could speak human language when he was a young mermaid, but he just didn't want to.

This is quite a headache for me, not to mention the problem of his deliberate concealment, even now, it is impossible for me to read what he means every time, especially when I need to talk.

I reluctantly reflected this problem to him, and I rationally said that I hoped that he would understand me, and I didn't want even communication between lovers to be a problem.

Shi was silent for a long time, his expression was so sad that he felt like he was about to cry, and then he didn't talk to me for a whole day, I teased him, but he didn't pay attention, his ear fins wilted out of anger, and he didn't even get entangled in the fishtail that habitually wrapped around my legs when I slept at night.

This situation lasted for three whole days, I asked him what was wrong, he only held the white sea master doll and shook his head and did not speak, I really couldn't tell what he was thinking, I had to ask what he knew.

Ben is now working at a government research institute, and when he hears that I am looking for him, he leaves his job and comes over, and when he hears my question, he laughs.

"Sals, I didn't expect you to ask such a question."

"Stop laughing, it's not funny."

"Well," Ben couldn't help but smile, "Shi is a very simple and innocent child, he has hardly been exposed to the outside world since he was born, you are his whole world to him, and all his qiē revolves around you." Please don't look at him so mature, in fact, he is still very young psychologically. Think about it, do you prefer this mature mermaid now, or the juvenile mermaid who likes to be spoiled in the past? ”

"I like them all, they're all released, aren't they?"

"It's different, you treat these two forms differently, your expressions and movements are different. Well, maybe you didn't even notice it yourself, have you touched Arteles' head affectionately since his return? Did you take the initiative to open your hug to him? ”

"......" I couldn't answer. Yes, Ben is not wrong, my behavior is different for the two forms of interpretation, because in my eyes, touching the head of a mature mermaid is a very awkward behavior.

"He's a very sensitive. He can feel that you like him more in the past, so he will want to use the language of the young mermaid to redeem your love for him in the past. Unfortunately, he seems to have done it the wrong way. ”

"No, he's not wrong, I misunderstood him." I said guiltily, "Thank you I'm leaving." ”

After returning home, Shi also sullenly held the white sea master doll and kneaded it, although it was funny for an adult mermaid to do this, but I couldn't laugh, but felt a kind of indescribable sourness.

I walked up to him and half-knelt, grabbed his hand, touched his head, and smiled gently: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, please forgive me, okay?" I don't care if you use whatever way you like, just be happy. ”

I hugged him distressedly and patted him on the back to comfort him: "It's okay, I didn't take into account your special situation and treat you as an ordinary adult." Oh, please don't cry, it's me who was wrong, forgive me, okay? I wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and kissed him deeply on the lips, and he immediately took the initiative and hugged me tightly and deepened the kiss.

After a gentle kiss, he whispered softly in my ear, "Sals, I don't like to speak human language, and the bigger reason is that I only want to call you by your name in human language, and I don't want to say anything else." ”

I paused for a moment, smiled and deepened my hug.
