Chapter 15: Pushed Overboard (1)
"Hey... Hey, Professor!"
For a malicious provocation like Eugene's, Demos is enough to respond with laughter.
He walked over and patted Eugene on the shoulder, smiling as usual:
"You're here to bless us, aren't you? Why do you have to embarrass me? Let's go, let's go over there and have a couple of drinks. Let's talk about next month's European Arts Festival......"
"Oh Blake, forgive me. You know how much effort I've put into cultivating that Chinese! I don't know how much your generation ......."
The uninteresting middle-aged man chattered endlessly, and walked one step ahead of Demos to the dining bar on the east side of the deck.
Demos turned back to the aggrieved Carreta and whispered comfortingly, "Don't care! I'll come when I go......"
"I'll stay with her. ”
Triton appeared beside them at this time, smiled at Demos and said, "You go and deal with the man, I'll accompany the bride-to-be." ”
"Okay, please. Wait for me, Kareta!"
Demos thanked Triton, looked at Carreta uncomfortably, and hurried to Professor Eugene at the other end of the bar.
"You don't have to be so stingy to be like an old human man, right?"
Terry walked up to Carette with a gloomy face, smiling at the sea and teasing her.
Professor Eugene's complaint just now happened to be heard by Terry.
Kareta shook her head slowly, sighing "hey". "Am I hated?"
She asked Triton a question of confidence.
Thinking back to the resentful look that Cali would throw at him on the cruise ship just now, and the scene that just happened, Professor Eugene acted like a calf parent who was seeking justice for his bullied child.
And he will only hide behind Demos and behave like he has done a great mistake.
Kareta felt too funny and too helpless!
Triton glanced at her again, and then replied aloud into the sea:
"Yes, today you are the target of hatred by all the women in the world. Your beauty, and the happiness you have, are enough to be envied and envied by them for years!"
The deep blue sea was as quiet as a mirror, and the sun's melting light immediately reflected a scorching light. Everywhere the Sweet Roman travels, the rotation of the stern propeller leaves a snow-white and deep wave mark.
After a sea breeze, Carette's troubles were soon left far behind as the ship sailed, and her beautiful face regained a charming smile.
At this moment, Triton withdrew his gaze from the distance of the sea and turned sideways to face Kareta with a determined expression.
"That's right, Karete. Every human mind is different and perfect, and even gods are powerless to correct or unify their thoughts. Each has its own merits, and this is the loveliness of human beings. And you, this strong girl, just need to greet the excitement of each day with a bright and bright smile, and don't change yourself because of a few words. ”
Terry ...... Thank you!"
Carette's gratitude to the mermaid prince is heartfelt. Although he was only a teenager in human age, his demeanor and speech had already revealed the sophistication of an adult.
When she suffers defeat or hurts her body and mind and becomes weak, any word he brings will be full of deep meaning, subtly like a warm current that injects new strength into her sad and cold heart.
"I am truly grateful to have you as a friend and loved one by my side. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today......"
"Thank yourself, Karete. If there is a heart, everything will be there. I once said that the power to change one's destiny comes entirely from oneself. At the right time, accept the right person, your choice is beyond doubt, there is nothing wrong with it!"
Terry smiled, and seeing that Carette had completely shaken off the shadow of the rebuke she had just been given, he didn't worry about her.
He glanced in the direction of the restaurant and asked:
"I'm going to get some drinks, what do you want to drink?"
"Hmm... The bilberry juice is ready. Thank you!" Karette thought for a moment, and replied with a firm mind.
"Okay, I'll be right back. ”
After Triton left, Carette stood alone for a few seconds, her eyes casually looking around.
At the aft of deck, a face leaped into her sight.
He has a hair, a handsome face with the old Confucianism, and is looking at this side with a faint smile.
"Jose!"
Kareta opened her mouth in surprise and whispered his name.
At the same time, she felt that her body, covered by a clean white suit, had lost a lot of weight compared to more than a month ago. It can be seen how he was tortured after the separation.
"Jose ......"
Kareta screamed again, her eyes sour.
She had never imagined that Jose would be able to come on such a day, and the clear smile on his face at the moment was more like a sincere blessing.
At this time, Carette's heart was full of emotions because of his smile, excited, longing, and repentant.
After staying for half a minute, she took a selfless step and slowly walked towards the stern of the boat.
"Jose, how did you come... I thought I'd never see you again......"
Kareta murmured as she approached his figure, tears already flowing in two lines, rolling down to the deck as she moved, shattering into a ragged splash.
In the blink of an eye, José's image disappeared completely.
"Jose... Jose?"
In her exclamation, Carette was fully conscious, only to find that her body was only a step away from the stern of the boat.
This area is quite deserted, because there is no space value, and there are no items in the yard, so there is no noise of passers-by, and the view is extremely wide.
Kareta looked nervously around to the left and right, and there was really no one.
Is it a hallucination? Is it my subconscious obsession with Jose?
Karette hurriedly wiped her face and took one last step towards the stern.
Holding on to the guardrail with both hands, she leaned over to look at the sea 100 meters below. Except for a rattle from the spinning propellers.
At that moment, a strong force pushed her hard in the back.
Carette was completely defenseless, and didn't even have time to scream. Her body was hit by the thrust and completely escaped the aft guardrail, falling headfirst into the vast sea......
Demos and Professor Eugene chatted over a glass of wine.
On the 15th of next month, the biennial European Festival of Arts, a gathering of celebrities from all over Europe, will begin. As the birthplace of literature and art in Europe, Athens, Greece, was naturally the central location of the gathering, and Professor Eugene and Demos, who were members of the Art Society, would also be present.
As soon as the two exchanged views on the festival, Professor Eugene was called by an acquaintance.
Demos had just sent Eugene off, and Cali was waiting for an opportunity to come in front of him.
"Congratulations to the bridegroom-to-be, the bride-to-be is very beautiful, you are really talented and beautiful!"
"Sister, you and I can't do such a fake routine, right?" Demos smiled far-fetched.
Cali couldn't disguise himself any longer, and he laughed a few times himself.
Her pointed fingers, stained with red nail polish, twirled the handle of the glass in her hand a few times, and her expression returned to color in laughter.
"Now that Caret is here, your heart should be free of distractions and troubles, right?"
She stared at Demos, her gaze like a sharp edge, eager to penetrate his body and see directly into his heart at once.
Demos's eyebrows furrowed, and he said impatiently:
"Do you know what day it is, can we not talk about it?"
"How long do you want to escape? When do you want me to wait? I didn't stop you from marrying her because she is the key to the Athena Jewel! Now, she is already in the palm of your hand, you don't do it in time, hurry up and find the right time for her to break the crystal ball seal!"
Cali didn't care about Demos's extremely disgusted expression, and continued to press him aggressively.
Demos finally understands that the purpose of Kali's arrival today is not to dismiss his old suspicions, but to remind him of the close connection between Caret and the Athena Jewel!
He let out a heavy snort, confronting Cali's paranoia by keeping his mouth shut.
There was a crowd on the deck, and some people kept shouting:
"Come on, someone! Oh no—the bride-to-be has fallen overboard! Tell the boat to stop! Hurry—"
"Turn off the motor! Beware of the propellers—"
"Everyone, come and save people—"
Demos and Cali heard the calls at the same time, and when it became clear that it was Kareta who had happened, the siblings both had an unbelievable look on their faces.
Without saying a word, Demos rushed to the place of appearance.
The moment Carreta fell from the high second deck, she was knocked into a daze by the sea.
At this time, the sea was no longer calm, and wave after wave swept towards Karetta's throbbing body on the surface of the sea, and finally submerged her in the sea.
Carreta thinks she is a good swimmer, but at this time she can't play this skill at all.
The sea water became very strange, as if it had turned into countless chains of rigidity and softness, firmly binding her limbs that were struggling to survive in the sea, giving her no chance to escape.
Carette's eyes were stung by the salty seawater, and her eardrums were constantly slapped by the heavy seawater, and the sharp hammer continued to cut into her ear holes, as if the pain that was about to penetrate the seven orifices made it difficult for her to suppress it, and she desperately opened her mouth wide.
Before he could shout, he had swallowed a mouthful of seawater.
The pressure of the water was getting stronger, and Kareta felt the pressure on her heart increase with each passing day.
Her resistance became more and more sluggish, and she couldn't even use the slightest spell to control the water and relieve her difficulties.
Her body gradually sank deeper into the sea......
When Demos ran to the stern of the boat, he glanced in the direction of everyone's fingers, quickly took off his black dress and coat and jumped into the sea first.
He was followed by Triton.
In the sea, Demos's diving skills can never compare to that of the mermaid prince born from the sea gods.
Triton had just entered the sea and his body spun nimbly, and he easily made a leap to throw Demos behind him a large distance.
He hurried to the side of the already lost Carret, reached out and wrapped his arms around her sinking body, and kicked her twice with two powerful kicks and she floated to the surface.
