Guan Qing's fist stopped in mid-air, and he unwillingly let go of Mida's collar, took two steps back, and sat back on the sofa.

"Are you crazy! Beat me for a youkai?" Mida covered her face, puzzled.

"I advise you not to say such things again," I clenched my fists, "or I won't be able to beat you up more than one Guan Qing." Mida also saw that I wasn't joking, and reluctantly shut up, "Long story short, You Zhen wants to see you again, we hope you can be the same as before, even if it is to lie to her, leave her a good memory, and let her return to the sea with peace of mind." ”

"What do you mean when you meet? you two don't know, that guy is very clingy, if it weren't for the fact that his tears can turn into pearls, I wouldn't have kept in touch with him later," Seeing Guan Qing's face, Mida cleared his throat, "Of course, I don't feel guilty at all, after all, I use its feelings to some extent, and I don't want to do this kind of thing without saying goodbye, but I can't help it, I can't always waste my time on a monster?"

"You Zhen's pearl has made you a lot of money, you are such a money-eyed person, if it weren't for the daughter of the Y group, how would you be willing to give up the wealth brought by You Zhen. Guan Qing hit the nail on the head.

"You—" Mida began to retreat, "I beg you, don't tell Group Y about this, my company is about to run out of business, only Group Y can save me..."

"But as far as I know, you took the company's capital to the casino without authorization, and lost all your net worth overnight, and your company's employees have not been paid wages for three months, since even I know these things, presumably Y Group is not stupid, whether they are willing to help you or not, is it not necessarily?" Guan Qing squinted his eyes, "Then next, let's talk about cooperation." ”

"Cooperation?" Mida looked at Guan Qing a little blankly, I secretly felt better in my heart, Guan Qing This kid is ruthless enough.

"You have two choices, first, promise to meet with You Zhen and tell her that you already have a heart, but you used to treat her sincerely and let her leave with peace of mind, and then the Guan Group will buy your company with full authority, give you a pension money, and leave the company; To be exact, you don't have a choice. ”

At this moment, Mida sat on the ground like a deflated ball.

"Give me the answer now, which one do you choose. Guan Qing stood up and prepared to leave, "I can't stand it anymore to see you." ”

"I promise you... See it. Mida is like a poor worm, "Guan Qing... Mr. Guan, can you give me some shares?"

"I'm sorry, you don't have room to negotiate terms with me. Walking to the door, Guan Qing said without replying, "You remember, the money that can still be given to you for the pension is completely for the sake of You Zhen's face, you should thank her well." Ye Ke, I'm going to bring You Zhen over. The moment he opened the door, Guan Qing's whole person froze, and You Zhen stood at the door with an expressionless face.

"You... Why did you get here?" Guan Qing stammered a little, "When... Coming here?"

"Long time no see, Mida. There was no emotion in You Zhen's voice.

Mida, who was sitting on the ground, showed his head from the sofa, and couldn't help but shudder when he saw You Zhen's figure, he pretended to stand up, patted his clothes, and tidied up his tie, "You Zhen, you're here, I've been waiting for you with Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye Ke for a long time." ”

"You Zhen, come in and talk. I said, looking coldly at Mida, who was hypocritical.

Guan Qing took two steps to make way for the girl in front of her, the girl squeezed out a smile, walked slowly to Mida, closed the door, and Guan Qing's eyes never left her.

"You Zhen, how are you?" the two faced each other in silence for a long time, and Mida asked first. And she didn't speak.

"You... Actually, I've always been, and I'm going to miss you. Mida continued, "I didn't expect you to find me, but you see, we don't belong to the same place after all, so..."

You Zhen still didn't speak, a tear flowed down the corner of her eye, I suddenly felt my heart tight, and sure enough, the moment the tears left You Zhen's cheek, a black pearl fell.

"You Zhen, you..." Guan Qing's eyes were full of pity.

A hint of surprise flashed across Mida's face, and he immediately said, "Although I once thought that it was impossible for us to abandon you ruthlessly, and even fell in love with someone else, but when I saw you again today, I realized that my feelings for you are so deep, give me another chance, okay?"

Guan Qing and I didn't expect that a person could be so brazen.

You Zhen smiled, with tears on her face, but she smiled really, the sound of the black pearl smashing on the floor became more and more dense, and when I was trying to persuade You Zhen not to cry anymore, she raised her left hand and stroked Mida's cheek, "I finally see you." ”

Mida was ecstatic and stretched out her hands to hug You Zhen, I glanced at Guan Qing, he had already lowered his head and clenched his fists.

You Zhen unexpectedly avoided Mida's hug, "Mida, I heard it." She smiled palely, "I heard everything you said, mermaids are not human, so you humans have hearing that you humans don't have." ”

We were all stunned.

"You Zhen, it's not what you heard, I..." Maida wanted to explain, but You Zhen gently put her fingers on his lips, and said in a soft voice, "You are so pathetic, we will not meet again." As if he had exhausted his strength, after saying this, You Zhen was already a little unstable, and her tears still kept flowing.

Guan Qing strode over to You Zhen and supported her, "Don't cry, let's go." You Zhen nodded, and Guan Qing glanced at Mida with disgust, "Ye Ke, this guy is handed over to you, I'll send You Zhen back to the room to rest first." ”

Mida suddenly grabbed You Zhen's arm and shouted, "You can't go with him, they are all liars, they are trying to take advantage of you!"

Guan Qing helped You Zhen, unable to get rid of this nasty person, I rushed forward to grab Mida, kicked him hard in the back of his knee, plopped, he knelt on the ground, he had no regard for the image of his face full of ferocity pounced on me, punched me in the face, my glasses were knocked away by him.

"Oops," I thought to myself, ignoring the pain on my face, lying on the ground and touching my glasses, and vaguely saw that he wanted to catch You Zhen again, and suddenly, Mida screamed several times, and the room fell silent instantly.

A pair of hands appeared in front of me, holding my glasses, "Why do you say you're so careless?" "This familiar voice, yes, it's Tsubaki.

I put on my glasses, and the world finally returned to its original state, except for an extra Tsubaki in front of me. She was still a girl like a white cat, she bent over and looked at me with a smile, "Look at you, your face is all smashed, if I don't come, you don't know what you will be beaten." ”

"Why did you get here?When did you come back?Why didn't you even get a letter after going out for so long?" I sat on the ground and looked at Tsubaki, she appeared so suddenly that I was not prepared at all.

"Hmph, I know you didn't notice me at all, I've been watching you on the windowsill for a long time," she glanced at You Zhen and pouted slightly, "I thought you found a new girl while I wasn't there." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" I panicked to explain, "the girl asked me for help, so..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, what's there to explain," Tsubaki burst out laughing, I don't know why, I felt my heart beat a beat, "But can't you see it, you're pretty handsome in a suit." ”

"Uhhh This is Guan Qing's suit I borrowed," I pointed to Guan Qing, "When the hell did you come here?"

"Hmm," Tsubaki straightened up and thought for a moment, "I've been watching you out of the window since you entered the hotel." ”

What? From entering the hotel? Isn't that... She saw it when I changed my clothes, and I didn't know what to say when I looked at Tsubaki with a wicked smile on her face.

“... Ye Ke, what's going on? What have you been talking to yourself, can't you be broken?" Guan Qing's voice came from behind, and I remembered that he couldn't see Tsubaki's current appearance.

"There is a very beautiful girl next to Mr. Yeke. You Zhen said softly.

"Ah, this is Guan Qing, my good friend, this is Tsubaki, my... Hey, Tsubaki, you're going to be like a cat again. ”

"But people don't want to change..."Looking at my resolute expression, Tsubaki was a little reluctant, "Okay, okay." ”

In the blink of an eye, a white cat appeared beside me.

"Ahh ”

"What did you do to him?" I looked at the white cat in front of me helplessly, but she stretched her waist and rubbed my tail against me, curling into a ball and not saying a word.

"I should just be stunned by the demonic energy, it's nothing, let's go. You Zhen's soft voice came, and I felt that she could fall down at any moment.

"Don't go back to your room," I thought for a moment, and made a decision, "go straight back to the sea." "I'm saying this to You Zhen, and I'm also saying it to Guan Qing.

When I came to Lake M, it was snowing in the sky, it was the first snow of this winter, Tsubaki was lying on my shoulder like a hairball, and the huge body of the dome floated in Lake M, "Lord Yeke, I heard your call, and I came as scheduled. "It's still some way back to the sea from here, but the guest you're talking about is this merman?"

"Well, it's her, please help me get her home safely. I replied.

Guan Qing, who was holding You Zhen, asked me: "Ye Ke, is there a big guy in the lake?" ”

"Well, yes, it also comes from the sea. ”

“... You Zhen, it's time to go home. Guan Qing looked down at the sleeping merman in his arms, said softly, handed over You Zhen to me, I took her body, my brows couldn't help frowning, it was too light, light didn't feel the weight, no wonder Guan Qing was full of sadness all the way.

"Qiong, then I'll give her to you, and when she wakes up, please tell her that we all like her and miss her. The dome answered me, opening its wide mouth. "Guan Qing, won't you say anything again? Once I put it in the dome, you won't be able to see You Zhen. ”

Guan Qing shook his head and kept looking at You Zhen, his hair covered with snowflakes.

We all thought that this was the end of Youzhen's story, and after going back that day, Guan Qing quickly returned to his normal state, but I could always inadvertently see him looking at the sky in a daze; Tsubaki finally settled down, and stayed in Tianbei Groceries as her master expected, and gave me trouble from time to time; the old man still didn't agree to Guan Qing coming to the store to work part-time, but he also turned a blind eye to his frequent appearance;

On the penultimate night of this year, the jellyfish-like water demon came to my shop again and gave me a letter, which I opened with only a few short sentences:

"Hello Mr. Ye Ke, thank you and Mr. Guan Qing for your help, especially Mr. Guan Qing, because he gave me something very precious, so that I once again have the right to exchange the second half of my life with the sea, you are right, people and monsters are different after all, and you can't get married without permission, so I don't dare to ask for any more, I just hope that the rest of my life will be well, so it's good."

In addition, I hope you will tell Mr. Guan Qing that the heart of the merman can only be loved once in his life, and I can no longer ask for it in this life, I only hope that I can be a person in the next life and accompany him. ”

Tsubaki said leisurely beside me: "She is really kind, she can say it if she only loves once in her life." ”

"What do you mean, aren't all sharks like that?" I asked.

"That's because ordinary sharks have been in the sea all their lives and have never seen anything, but You Zhen is not an ordinary shark, she is just looking for an excuse and doesn't want to delay Guan Qing. ”

When I handed the letter to Guan Qing the next day, he was silent for a long time after reading it, smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay if she's fine." ”

I asked him, "You don't have any regrets?"

"Of course there is. He folded the letter, "The thing I regret most is that hearing what I said to Mida must have made a bad impression on her." ”

"And if you knew she was outside the door, would you still do that?" I asked.

He didn't even think about it, "Yes." ”

"Hey, Guan Qing," I leaned over and looked him in the eye, "Tell me, are you in love with her?"

"Nope. ”

"Say it well. ”

"Not really. ”

"And what did you give her so precious that she could trade it for the sea?" I smirked.

Guan Qing's face flushed, "...... Yes, I'm just in love with her!" he said loudly, and a big man's tears fell straight down, "but what can I do! I am a human being! She is a demon! We have no results! So exchanging my love for her life is the best result!" he cried as he spoke, and finally developed into a wow-wah cry.

I watched him dumbfounded until he calmed down.

"Actually, I knew she was still alive," Guan Qing said with red eyes, "A few days after she left, I had a dream, in which she had regained her appearance as a merman, beautiful as if she had come out of a fairy tale, and she was singing beautiful songs in the moonlit sea." ”

"Then why didn't you tell me!" I was not happy about this change, and I had been worried for so long.

"I can't have a little secret with her, you have Tsubaki, what do you know all this. ”

I was speechless for a while, and remembered what You Zhenxin said, people and monsters are different after all, and you can't get married at will, so what kind of existence is Tsubaki for me?
