"My name is Dongfang Shuo, I am the eldest young master of Dongfang Mansion in the south of the city, I have a pair of yin and yang eyes, and I can often see 'things' that ordinary people can't see

My body temperature is always much lower than that of ordinary people, and I am withdrawn by nature, and I rarely talk to people, so everyone treats me as a monster, and everyone stays away from me......

Until she appeared, like the warm sunshine in winter, with the melting of my cold heart

Her name is He Jinyan, at a Lantern Festival party, she wore a red neon dress, appeared in the crowd, holding a small wine jug in her hand, she loved to laugh, when she laughed, there was a small dimple on her face, as if there was only happiness in her world, no sadness

When I was stunned, she suddenly appeared in front of me, she tilted her head and smiled at me, asking "Are you looking at me?" ”

I didn't say anything, I just walked past her, but she followed me all the way, and I asked her, "What are you doing with me?"

She smiled again and said, "So you can speak, my name is He Jinyan, can we make friends?" ”

I didn't say anything again, and went back to my yard, and she came after me, and I said irritably, "What are you doing here?" ”

She pouted, "I just want to be friends with you."

"I don't need friends, you can go," I said with a cold face

She grimaced and said, "Hmph, how can there be such a strange person as you?"

Then in the blink of an eye, it was gone, and I thought I would never see her again, but the next night, she came again, still holding the little flask in her hand, and she smiled and leaned in front of my window and said, "Hey, Bingzi, I'll invite you to drink."

I frowned and said, "You are a girl's family, what kind of body is drinking, hurry up and go home"

"My house is right here," she said, pointing to the pond not far away

I was thinking, this girl can't be a madman, how can a big living person live in water, I said, "Stop kidding, go home quickly, don't come to me again"

She puffed out her cheeks and said, "You don't believe me? I shook my head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Then you come with me" She jumped down from the windowsill and pulled me towards the pond, she shoved the jug into my arms and said, "Help me watch it, don't lose my precious jug"

She smiled and said to me, "Look at it, don't blink," revealing her cute little dimples

Suddenly she jumped up and jumped into the pond, and there was a red light in the water, and she jumped out of the water again, except that her legs turned into fish tails

I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, and she lay on the shore and said, "What? Did it scare you? ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, she shook her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

I was suddenly less scared, because we were all monsters in the eyes of others, and we all longed to be understood, to be close to others

I crouched down and said, "You're a youkai?" ”

She pouted again and said, "I'm not a monster, it's a monster that harms people, I'm a koi fish, and I never hurt people."

When she saw me staring at her tail, she suddenly raised her tail and said, "Do you want to touch it?" ”

I reached out and gently touched her tail, slippery, and she said expectantly, "What's that?" Isn't it slippery? ”

I didn't speak, just nodded, and she said proudly, "Of course, I will use algae every day to maintain it, crush and apply it twice, so that my tail will be smooth and shiny"

I said, "Can you change back into human form first?" ”

She jumped up again, changed back into her human form, splashed water on me, and said with a smile "I'm so sorry to get your clothes wet"

She reached out and said, "Give me back my flask," and I gave it back to her, and as soon as she took it back, she took a big sip

I asked, "Is the wine so good?" ”

She handed me the wine and said, "You taste it?" ”

It was the first time I drank alcohol, and it was the last time, and I didn't know what her flask was, as if I couldn't finish it, so we drank on the roof all night and talked all night

It wasn't until dawn that she jumped back into the pond, showed her head, and said, "I can only transform into a human form at night, and when it dawns, I will change back to the appearance of a mermaid, and I will come to play with you again at night."

From that day on, I waited for her to appear every night, she told me about the wonders of the underwater world, and I told her about the wonders of the land and the style of our Tang Dynasty

She especially likes to eat candy people, always pestering me to tell her the story of the Eight Immortals Candy Man, and she also likes to play polo, but she can only transform into a human form at night

I had to take her to the polo field at night and take her to play polo

Until one night, I waited for her for a long time, she still didn't show up, the next day, a strange man came, he said his name was Long Xuan, he told me that Jinyan would not come back, she had completed the experience, and she was going to jump into the Dragon Gate, turn into a dragon, and become a dragon ......" Dongfang Shuo finished speaking, and looked down at the hot tea in the cup

Tang Mujin took a sip of tea and said, "So, Miss He is not a mortal?" ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded and said, "Please, the boss lady, you must help me get back Jinyan!" ”

Tang Mujin smiled and said, "This is not a simple deal, I have changed my mind."

Dongfang Shuo stood up anxiously and said, "You! ”

Tang Mujin stood up, with an extra lily in his hand, and said, "What are you anxious about, I didn't say I wouldn't help you, I just said to change my mind."

"That'...... What does the hostess mean? Dongfang Shuo said with a little embarrassment

"I don't want money, I want three scales on her body" Tang Mujin sent the flowers to Dongfang Shuo

Dongfang Shuo took the flower and asked puzzledly, "What do you want scales for?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, okay, you go back first, and come to me in three days" Tang Mujin said mysteriously

Dongfang Shuo said gratefully, "I have thanked the proprietress in advance, and I will retire next."

Then, Dongfang Shuo left with a lily and a smile on his face

Shen Ruyan walked out from behind the screen and said, "Boss, it seems that we have to be busy again."

Tang Mujin raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance and said, "Get ready, we're going to meet an old friend."
