15. The ballad of the little mermaid
"It was a handsome, noble, passionate, and kind prince, whose presence seemed to weave the story that girls longed for. β
[This is an illusory, ethereal, beautiful but sad story, the simple little mermaid is singing the most beautiful ballad on the sea]
Alice is weaving a story, a story that can calm a girl's longing for a while. There were only four listeners, and only one real listener, although she was still stir-frying noodles.
As the other three who understood Alice's thoughts, they had done their best. Neither Irina nor Luna interrupted Alice's somewhat unrealistic kind lies, and the old Granny Yu just smiled, the only difference was that she looked at Xiaoyu with a little more love.
The real audience was stir-frying, stir-frying very seriously, and Lovely Lise was sure that she was doing her best to learn other people's "weavings", because her eyes, which were as beautiful as sea jewels, could not lie.
Then it's okay to continue like this.
"I remember his name was Experi, a strange name. His appearance is also very 'strange', so strange that people wonder why there are such handsome people in the world. β
[The name of the little mermaid is the little mermaid, the youngest mermaid princess. Her appearance is very beautiful, so beautiful that people wonder why there are such beautiful mermaids in the world. γ
"He was brave, kind, noble, passionate, and he had a heart that anyone would be fascinated by. β
[She is gentle, kind, noble, beautiful, she has a heart that anyone will be fascinated by]
"He was an admired prince who loved to help others and was always thanked and praised"
[She's a strange princess, she doesn't like to talk very much, and she's always quietly thinking about something]
"The most important thing he wants to do is to ride a handsome white horse and gallop with it to every corner of the world. On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, the old king finally agreed to his request. β
[Her favorite thing is to listen to the stories of the human world above the sea, and her old grandmother has to tell her everything she knows.] It wasn't until she was 15 years old that she was finally allowed to float to the surface.
"And then ......"
γThenγ
γBoomγ
"Miss, your fried noodles are good!" With Alice's startled shout, Xiaoyu, who had fried noodles, skillfully put the noodles into the lunch box, "There's a spicy and garlic serving, right?
"Whew, okay. Alice sighed, and Luna, who was a step slower, also took the box of "special" fried noodles with a sad face, which was very beautiful and had a feeling of summer love......
However, Xiao Yu, this little guy, really doesn't understand the atmosphere, obviously Prince Perry, who tried to describe just now, was even a little intoxicated by Alice herself, but Xiao Yu, who also listened very carefully, interrupted her description on time.
"Ask the maid to pay for the mother-in-law, and then the eldest lady...... Thank you for telling me the story of the Prince. β
Hey...... Hey!?
"But as long as it's a real 'prince', I think it's still very 'handsome' if it's not so perfect. β
After finishing the work, Xiaoyu wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, her blue eyes and blue hair tied up even surpassed the clear sea and sky.
"But it's good to listen to fairy tales once in a while. β
Hey, this little girl knows that!
"Irina, don't laugh!"
Alice, holding the lunch box, hurriedly catches up with Irina, who is smiling away, and Luna thanks her and leaves. Just as people who have had enough of it will no longer go out of their way to the sea, people who have finished their meals will never pay attention to a lonely chow mein stall.
Naturally, there is no value in the stalls without customers, the spare noodles, the burning coal are almost exhausted, and the money bags are also inflated by the contribution of the recent wave of people. The day's mission ended so early.
"Hehehe...... Xiaoyu, let's go back like this today. β
Granny Yu bent down and wiped the already clean iron plate over and over again, wiping off the traces of the delicious food that had been born on it.
"It's been getting hot lately, and it's getting more crowded. Tomorrow...... I'm going to need some more ingredients. β
"Yes! β
The cat's waistless Xiaoyu got into the pile of stones and slowly extinguished the fire in it. As the green smoke came out, Xiao Yu's face that came out again was accidentally stained with black marks of soot one after another.
"I must bring more tomorrow, otherwise it will be too boring to go back early." β
"Hehehe, wayward child. β
"Because I love this place! It's never as real as what you see with your own eyes, and it's really fun to be busy. β
Xiao Yu packed her luggage and put all the boxes and tableware and other miscellaneous items on the small cart, "However, it's really strange, Granny Yu." Obviously, you said that the prince is actually some flowery wolf in beautiful skin, why does the prince that the eldest lady said just now sound so longing for me?"
"This ...... There is more than just one prince in the world. "Being asked by Xiao Yu, who doesn't know the depths, there are several more layers of furrows on Granny Yu's already dense face, "Mother-in-law said one kind, the eldest lady said another, of course she said the real 'prince'." β
"That means I can meet the real 'Prince'!?"
"Well, there are very few princes like that, really rare, or they don't exist. The elderly Granny Yu cleaned the coal-polluted beach, and although this black stain would inevitably be washed away by the sea after the tide rose and receded, she stubbornly did not let it go.
"The prince is so noble, I hope that you will never be the only girl who longs for him, and there will be other princesses who will fall in love with the prince. Perhaps the ordinary and ordinary girl prince would refuse, but could he resist the overtures of the equally noble and more beautiful princess......? There are many other reasons, so many that my mother-in-law can't talk about them. So ......"
"Hmm...... Go home!
Xiaoyu interrupted Granny Yu's words, and then pushed the heavy cart. Although her elderly mother-in-law next to her cast an incredible gaze, she quickly hid in the wrinkles brought by the years.
"Tell me stories about the city when you go to bed tonight, huh...... Let's just tell the story of how a prince and a princess fell in love!"
"Xiaoyu...... Not ......"
"Let's go, let's go, Granny Yu! It's almost sunset!"
As if on purpose, Xiaoyu shouted loudly. Her voice was heard in the distance through the silence of Granny Fish and the shattering of the cart running over the sand.
Perhaps, he can really sneak into the ears of the prince and let the noble him hear the longing in his heart for this ordinary but not "ordinary" little girl?
