Lance never thought that one day, he would burn his mouth because of a grilled fish.
That night, Wen Yu and the others did not embarrass Lance. Seeing Lance still wanted to leave, Wen Yu stepped aside, which allowed Lance to return to the sea.
Didn't even take the grilled fish.
After returning to the sea, Lance breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he felt that the wound on his tongue seemed to be more serious than he imagined, and he could taste the blood in his mouth after sipping it a little.
Lance originally thought it was a trivial matter, the mermaid's self-healing ability is so strong, the small wound in the mouth should heal after a while.
However, the reality is cruel.
After one night, the wound on the tip of the tongue worsened.
Lance was soaking in the sea water, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. The reason was that he had ulcers in his mouth.
ulcer
Why do mermaids still have ulcers
Lance thought about this question in frustration, wondering if it was because he didn't eat much seaweed these days, and finally lacked vitamins.
Sure enough, in addition to humans needing balanced nutrition, mermaids also need it.
Damn ulcers.
Lance hadn't eaten since running back into the sea from the beach last night.
Every time he opened his mouth to spit bubbles, the tip of his ulcerated tongue felt hot and painful.
These made Lance a little confused.
You say the mermaid is strong, indeed, the self-healing ability and adaptability are quite strong, but it is these small problems that often make Lance suffer.
Last time it was a crooked nail, this time it was a small ulcer.
What does this mean? Is it impossible for everything to be perfect
Lance walked around the edge of the island, thinking about the meaning of his own existence and how to get along with this group of people.
He could feel the kindness of these people towards him, but after all, he was not human now.
Does he need to let go a little bit? Need to show weakness? Do I need to ask his doubts directly
These thoughts made Lance's mind cluttered.
Time passed unknowingly.
Dao Wenyu and the others have been busy saving themselves.
During the day, they built a place to rest, and Wen Yu and Karl explored the island together and hunted for food.
Rose, on the other hand, was tied to the rock by Karl, and fiddled with the instrument on his own.
The three of them worked together in a division of labor, each performing their own duties, but they looked energetic and positive, waiting for rescue.
Lance secretly hid behind the reef, observing the actions of these people.
At night, Wen Yu grilled the fish again, and the remaining two were obviously not as physically strong as Wen Yu. After eating the fish they caught during the day, they fell asleep exhausted.
As for Wen Yu, he stayed up all this time, turned around and took the grilled fish, and walked towards the other direction of the island.
What is this for
Lance was curious about what Wen Yu wanted to do, so he followed secretly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yu walked to a quiet place, put the grilled fish in his hand on a clean leaf, then faced the sea, and said softly:
"I know you're here. This is grilled fish. It's cooled. You can come out and eat it."
Lance hid behind the reef, wagging his tail suspiciously.
"I know you're worried that I'll hurt you."
Wen Yu seems to be talking to himself, and also seems to be explaining to Lance,
"I swear on my life, I won't hurt you."
He lowered his eyes and lowered his voice:
"I'm supposed to be with you... I'm not really human."
Under the moonlight, with lowered eyebrows and gentle eyes, in Lance's eyes, for some reason, he looked a bit like that black mermaid.
Lance was puzzled, and by the time he realized it, he had already swam out of his hiding place as if he had been bewitched, and came to Wen Yu.
Lance: "..."
Maybe it's because Wen Yu's lonely temperament attracted him, let him feel the same way.
With a stinky face, Lance made an excuse for himself.
"Little fish?"
Wen Yu raised his head and was very happy to see Lance coming.
"Would you like to see me?"
Last night, Lance's excessive reaction made Wen Yu think that he might not see the white mermaid these days.
Wen Yu made this move today because he wanted to give it a try, and he didn't have much expectation in his heart.
However, it was obvious that the white mermaid was willing to take care of him.
This made Wen Yu look at Lance more tenderly.
Lance didn't answer, he tilted his head, and then crawled around Wen Yu.
He wanted to see why he had such a strange liking for Wen Yu.
However, after a lap, Lance could only see a sense of familiarity from Wen Yu. For the rest, Wen Yu was not as good as the black-tailed mermaid.
Could it be because I missed Wenser too much, which led to an illusion
Lance looked at Wen Yu, stretched out his webbed claws, and wrote two words on the sand—
"Winser"
Then, a question mark was placed.
Seeing Lance writing, Wen Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, he immediately grabbed Lance's webbed claws, and said seriously:
"You are not allowed to write in front of others, you know?"
Lance nodded, he knew, and then nodded to the words on the beach.
"My name is Wen Yu."
Wen Yu sighed, he stepped forward, erased the word "Se" written on the ground, and wrote "Yu" in his name.
Of course Lance knew that the person in front of him was called "Wen Yu", he just wanted to know if "Wen Yu" had any connection with "Winser".
So, he was very stubborn and wrote another word "se" next to the word "Yu".
Wen Yu: "..."
He didn't know why the white mermaid kept emphasizing the name "Winser". He didn't want to delve into it, so under Lance's gaze, he reached out and wiped all the words on the beach.
Lance:? ?
Under Lance's glaring gaze, Wen Yushi picked up the grilled fish and asked,
"Eat?"
Lance glanced at the grilled fish, but didn't take it. He wrote on the ground again:
"Can I trust you?"
Every stroke was very hard, and he was very dissatisfied with Wen Yu's actions just now.
"OK."
Wen Yu whispered that he looked very happy, glad that Lance trusted him.
Lance bit his lip and continued writing on the beach:
"I used to be a human named Lance. I don't know why I became a mermaid."
"Lance?"
Wen Yu muttered the name, nodded, and said to Lance,
"If you can go back, I will check it for you... This is a secret between you and me... But, you don't want to appear in front of the rest, understand?"
Lance nodded.
"The world is very complicated now. If you are caught by other people, you may be cut into countless pieces for experiments."
Wen Yu stroked Lance's head, his eyes were gentle,
"It's better for you to live happily in the ocean... At least you are free... If I can find your relevant information, I will help you take care of your family."
Lance wagged his tail, both happy and sad.
Glad that at least someone will help figure out what's going on and that your own family will be taken care of;
The sad thing is that I may not know what happened to me for the rest of my life, and I will abandon my human identity.
If you think about it this way, it's worth saving people.
Wen Yu erased all the writing on the ground, and he handed the grilled fish to Lance again.
Lance sniffed the grilled fish and found that this time the grilled fish was much more elaborate than last time—
The temperature is only slightly hot, and the skin seems to be coated with a layer of sour juice, and the smell makes the mouth water.
Lance swallowed, thought about the ulcer in his mouth, then opened his mouth to Wen Yu, and stuck out his tongue.
"Lance?"
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then belatedly realized what problem Lance might have encountered.
He lowered his head to study Lance's tongue for a while, and finally found a small white wound on Lance's tongue, and suddenly realized:
"Mouth ulcers?"
Lance withdrew his tongue and nodded painfully.
With a "poof", Wen Yu couldn't help laughing.
Lance put on a blank face, endured it, finally couldn't hold back, and slapped Wen Yu's face.
Wen Yu had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed Lance's webbed claws at once, and then put the grilled fish back on the clean leaves. He squeezed the webbed claws in his hand lovingly, and said:
"There is healing spray in the lifeboat, it should be able to heal, I'll get it for you."
Lance snorted, satisfied.
Five minutes later, Wen Yu came back, holding a survival kit and a small medicine bottle.
Lance:
Wen Yu sat down, first took out a small medicine bottle, poured out a small white pill, and said:
"This is a vitamin supplement, you should be able to eat it."
Lance twitched his lips.
This... feed a mermaid pills
"Don't want to?"
Wen Yu put down the small medicine bottle, took out a small white spray bottle, and said:
"Okay then, open your mouth and spray."
Lance nodded and opened his mouth.
When Lance opened his mouth, Wen Yu suddenly stepped forward, stuffed the pill into Lance's throat, then lifted Lance's chin with lightning speed, forcing him to swallow it.
He also stroked Lance's throat up and down with his hand, trying to push the pill down.
Lance:?
Is this for cats
After Wen Yu let go of his hand, Lance blushed and swallowed the pill whole.
"Drink of water."
Wen Yu didn't feel guilty, "Okay, now open your mouth, let's spray."
Lance opened his mouth to threaten:
"ka—"
"Do you want to eat grilled fish?"
"..."
Lance opened his mouth silently and stuck out his tongue.
The spray is really effective, it feels cool when sprayed on, and the tongue doesn't hurt at all, it's just numb.
Lance smacked his lips, looking at the grilled fish on the leaves, his eyes showing reluctance.
"You still want to eat?"
Wen Yu looked at Lance with a smile in his eyes, "Are you that hungry?"
"Gulu~~"
Lance's stomach told Wen Yu the answer directly.
In the silent night sky, a little sound is extraordinarily loud.
"cough"
Wen Yu coughed lightly, then picked up the fish, and under Lance's murderous eyes, said to himself,
"Leaving this fish like this is indeed a bit of a waste."
He tore off a piece of fish and said solemnly to Lance:
"Eat carefully, don't touch the wound, you know?"
Lance rolled his eyes at Wen Yu, then opened his mouth to eat the fish.
The little bit of fish was chewed in the mouth, and the taste exploded, and Lance was moved to tears.
Finally cooked food!
Although there is still a little pain in the mouth, it is not unbearable.
In order to eat the fish in Wen Yu's hands, Lance didn't care about his face anymore, he leaned forward, and finally his webbed claws touched Wen Yu's knees, as if he was about to throw himself into Wen Yu's arms.
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but lure him with the fish in his hand, while quietly changing his position, wrapping Lance in his arms.
By the time Lance finished eating the fish stick that Wen Yu tore in his hand, he had already thrown himself into a warm embrace.
Lance blinked, and let Wen Yu pick up his tail and completely hug him into his arms.
As a temperature-changing animal, it has almost no resistance to the warm body temperature of humans.
After becoming a mermaid, Lance's body temperature dropped a lot, but this is not difficult to understand. It is really difficult to maintain a constant human temperature of 37 degrees in the sea.
Therefore, he is a little obsessed with Wen Yu's body temperature now.
It's not as hot as a flame, but lying in Wen Yu's arms, it's like returning to the beginning of life in a trance.
Lying in Wen Yu's arms, Lance could hear and smell Wen Yu's heartbeat and smell clearly.
Unparalleled security.
I don't know if it's because the blood sugar in his body rose after eating. In Wen Yu's arms, Lance was drowsy, with his eyes half closed, as if he was drunk. He raised his head, looked at Wen Yu's profile, and frowned After distinguishing for a while, he said:
"You are obviously Wenther."
And these words, in Wen Yu's ears, were a series of neighing, he asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lance shook his head, buried his head in Wen Yu's neck, and fell asleep in Wen Yu's arms.
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows, amused by the result.
He hugged Lance tightly, thought for a while, and got up, picked Lance up, and walked towards the camp.
It's risky to do so... but it's also a cautionary tale.
If the other two wanted to harm Lance, Wen Yu thought, he wouldn't mind killing them both.
