When the woman woke up, she didn't sit up in a hurry, but cautiously checked the situation around her.

She sat up only when she was sure she was safe. The moment she sat up, there was a pinprick-like stinging pain in her head, and the woman hurriedly held her forehead with her hand, grinning in pain.

"......" Prince Haolei saw this scene behind the reef and wanted to go over to see the situation, but he was afraid that his figure would scare the other party.

"Who!? Come out! The woman was still aware of Hao Lei's existence, and picked up the stone at hand vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid...... I won't hurt you......" Hao Lei leaned out half of his body from behind the reef, but still hid the fishtail underwater.

"Whew...... It turned out to be a merman......" The woman put down the stone in her hand and relaxed.

"You...... Aren't you afraid of me? The woman's reaction surprised Hao Lei.

"You saved my life, why should I be afraid of you?" The woman's boldness surprised Hao Lei even more.

Hao Lei swam to the reef where the woman was sitting, and lay on the reef to look at her seriously.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a human? The woman asked.

"I've seen it, but I've never seen you look so good." Hao Lei said seriously.

"Hahahaha, don't be funny, I'm still good-looking? I'm the ugliest person in my family. The woman laughed at Hao Lei's seriousness.

"How so? Your eyes are so beautiful, big, pure black, and so bright. It's as beautiful as the starry sky at night......" Hao Lei crossed out of the sea and sat next to the woman.

"Hahahaha, are you sharks so flamboyant?" The woman was still laughing.

"I'm telling the truth, why am I so flamboyant?" Hao Lei was puzzled.

"Thank you, though. Save my life......" The woman's smile disappeared, and her expression became solemn.

"By the way, my name is Hao Lei. What about you? ”

"My name is Yue Hongmei...... the woman replied.

"Your name ......" Hao Lei knows, the people who live on the nearby islands, are all a string of names. It was the first time he had heard such a short name.

"I'm of mixed race, my father is from the island, and my mother is from Shenzhou. After my father died, I followed my mother's surname ......" Yue Hongmei told her life story.

"I see...... Having said that, why did you go to sea alone in the storm last night? How dangerous it is......" Prince Hao Lei remembered, if he hadn't come to pick up the garbage last night, wouldn't Yue Hongmei not be able to see today's sunrise?

"......" Yue Hongmei didn't speak, it could be seen that she was struggling in her heart, should she tell the merman in front of her that she was actually here to seek death last night.

"......" Hao Lei saw that Yue Hongmei didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent with her.

"I can actually see the sunrise today......" Yue Hongmei suddenly said.

"You...... Why are you crying? Seeing the tears flowing from Yue Hongmei's cheeks, Hao Lei was at a loss, "Could it be that the wound is too painful?" I'm going to get you a new kelp! ”

"It's not that the wound hurts, it's the heart ......" Yue Hongmei pointed to her heart, "I'll say it all, in fact, I was going to die...... After his father's death, his sister married far away from Ryukyu. I was dependent on my mother for my life, but the village bully bullied our mother and daughter all day long, even if I was verbally insulted, and forcibly occupied my family's land. While I was out to sea, my mother was hanging from the beam. I knew it must have been done by the village bully, but he didn't admit it...... He also wanted to force me to comply. ”

"Yesterday there was a storm, and the people who took care of me took shelter from the rain, so I escaped, and I would rather die at the bottom of the ......sea than fall into his hands and be tortured to death by him," Yue Hongmei said resentfully.

"I ...... I'll punish the village tyrant for you! When Hao Lei heard Yue Hongmei's experience, he clenched his fists angrily, eager to flood his village immediately.
