On the beach of Desolate Star, Ino carried a small bucket, stepped on the soft white sand, and childishly used his toes to draw circles and dig the sand.
In his hand, he also held a simple wooden shovel, which Yue Zanchi used to dig for crabs for him.
If it weren't for the circumstances, he might have taken this as a vacation and built a castle directly on the beach.
Seeing his playful appearance, Yue Zhan couldn't help but be infected. He let go of his worries about the future and asked with a smile in his eyes, "Have you never played before, Your Highness?"
Ino stepped on the beach, stepped on a small shallow puddle, nodded and said, "I haven't played much."
When he was very young, he had to study with the famous teachers and professors arranged for him by Queen Derain and his grandfather, and rarely had time to go out to play. Later, when the empress died, the emperor didn't care much about him, and he had less chance to go out of the palace to play.
Yue Zhan can probably guess some reasons, and his voice could not help softening, and asked: "Is it fun?"
"Fun... uh." Ino realized that he seemed a little carried away.
Is now the time to play
He hurriedly retracted his feet on the puddle, his round and lovely toes clutched the sand with a guilty conscience, and lied solemnly and solemnly: "Actually... I was surveying the terrain..."
As he said, he nodded twice, nodded his head, put his hands behind his back, and stepped forward, like a Feng Shui master, and said solemnly, "I'm looking for crabs."
Over-the-stack: "… "
After walking for a while, Ino stretched out his foot, made a half circle, opened his eyes and said: "According to the terrain, there must be crabs in this area..."
Yue Zhan couldn't help laughing, and deliberately didn't puncture it, and said, "Okay, then His Highness will dig in this area."
After speaking, I was afraid that it might be unsafe for him to go elsewhere if he couldn't dig the crabs, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you can't dig, don't run around."
He didn't plan to really let the little prince be in charge of finding food. After all, the little prince had no experience in surviving in the wild, so he would just leave this kind of thing to him.
Ino, however, had a "don't look down on people" expression on his face, and said, "I can definitely dig it, dig a bucket."
Yue Zhan nodded to coax him.
The two quickly began to work, and Yue Zhan carried the cut wood thorns and looked for fish in the shallow water. Ino was carrying a bucket and a shovel, looking for crabs on the beach with a serious face.
In the matter of digging small crabs, Ino seems to be particularly talented, and he is accurate in digging. This may have something to do with him being a mermaid, he has a keen insight into aquatic food, and his intuition is particularly accurate.
After a while, he dug up half a bucket of crabs, and even dug up a nest of turtle eggs.
Considering that it is not easy for a tortoise to lay a nest of eggs, and fewer hatchlings can be successfully hatched, he buried the sand back again, thinking to himself: Don't let people die.
As for the small crabs in the bucket, of course, they have to be steamed. The crabs can be born a lot at one time. If he eats a few of them, he should not die.
When he was about to dig, he looked up at Yue Zhan, but saw that Yue Zhan's hand was still empty except for a wooden thorn.
Ino: "..."
How dare he work hard for most of the day, but the other party hasn't caught a single fish
Yue Zhan was also very depressed. It wasn't because he was not good at catching fish, but because he walked along the shoal from east to west, and then from west to east. He had never seen a single fish, not even a small fry the size of a fingernail. nothing.
Seeing that the little prince was almost digging a bucket full of small crabs, he couldn't help falling into contemplation.
This unscientific! Yue Zhan thought to himself, could it be that there are no fish in this sea area
Otherwise, how could he not encounter fish
At this time, Ino was already carrying a small bucket, stepped on wet footprints all the way, and came running.
"What's wrong?" He asked strangely, sweating from the tip of his nose, raising his fair neck.
Yue Zhan didn't want to admit that he couldn't catch fish, so he analyzed it with a serious face: "There may be no fish in this sea area, Your Highness, let's go and look elsewhere."
"No fish?" Ino looked puzzled, thinking, how could there be no? There are crabs and turtles, and the ecology is obviously similar to other habitable planets.
After thinking for a moment, he directly handed the small shovel and bucket to Yue Zhan, and said, "You carry it over first."
Yue Zhan was carrying the bucket and shovel with a puzzled look on his face.
Ino said solemnly: "I'm going to start transforming."
Yue Zhan: "???" The little prince is in second grade again
"If you want to turn, you can turn." Ino said bluntly.
Thinking of what he was going to do next, his ears were a little red, and he directly put his hand on Yue Zhan's arm and pushed him around.
Yue Zhan looked puzzled, but he did it anyway.
After he turned around, Ino took off his pants, turned into a mermaid, and plunged into the sea.
When Yue Zhan reacted, he was already waving in the waves and shouting, "Help me take care of my clothes."
"Wait!" Yue Zhan quickly put down the bucket and chased forward.
This is a barren star, and it has not been surveyed everywhere. Who knows if Hailian is not safe, what kind of creatures are there
Ino didn't seem to hear, as soon as he turned around, the fish's tail drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface, and soon disappeared.
Yue Zhan's heart was suddenly empty, as if he was watching the little mermaid prince return to the sea country, and he would never come back.
But it didn't take long for Ino to float up and throw him two lively fish.
I just said that there are no fish in this sea area: "..."
"There are fish, there are a lot of fish." Ino was a little excited, and after throwing the fish, he swam back quickly.
This is the first time he has walked freely in the sea since he became a mermaid. It feels really... much more comfortable than in a bathtub and a fish tank.
When he got to the bottom of the sea, he hooked his fingers even more so that all those fish could swim over.
When he first discovered that he had this ability, Ino was shocked to think—
God, what kind of talent is this? Could it be that I have awakened some tyrannical spirit to make these fish surrender obediently
After thinking about it, he sighed again: As expected of me, the son of planes!
In fact, it's just because he's a royal mermaid. The royal mermaid has a natural deterrent to sea creatures without intelligence. Big fish are hard to say, and small fish are basically shivering and obedient when they see it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some small fish swim over stupidly when they see his beautiful tail.
In short, as soon as Ino reached the bottom of the sea, he was surrounded by fish. He was like an imperial draft, watching the fish lined up and swimming in front of him, picking the fattest ones.
But before he caught two, he found that he only had two hands and couldn't catch them at all, so he had to grab two and swim back to the sea and throw them to Yuezhan.
But swimming around, the number of times, the tail is tired. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Yu, a little envious. The opponent has eight hands (feet) and can catch at least eight fish at a time.
Yue Zhan was stunned when he picked up fish on the beach. When Yinuo even threw more than 20 fish up, he hurriedly shouted: "Enough, if you catch too much, you may not be able to finish it."
Ino happened to have a sore tail too, so he said "OK", then wagged his tail and swam towards him.
The afterglow of the distant stars just shone on this beach, dyeing the sea a golden hue.
Yue Zhan watched the little mermaid swim towards him in this golden patch, and his heart seemed to be illuminated by the afterglow, warm and fulfilling.
When they reached the shallows, Ino couldn't swim. Yue Zhan stretched out his hand, pulled the little mermaid into his arms, and hugged the reef not far away.
Ino was also polite, and spontaneously wrapped around his neck, thinking with a blushing face: I have done more intimate things anyway, so it's okay to hug him.
After being seated on the reef, he saw the big fat fish strung together by ropes woven from grass blades by Yue Zhan. He couldn't help feeling a little proud and wanted to cross his waist for a while.
At this time, Yue Zhan had already picked up dry wood, picked a lot of jam, and even killed two of the fish to prepare the fire to roast the fish.
Yinuo originally wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not allow it. After being reserved for a while, he still couldn't hold back, and said a little proudly: "Am I very good? Don't worry about food in the future, I will be responsible for fishing and supporting the family, and you are responsible for picking up the food. Chai cooks."
Ugh, who said he couldn't be pampered? Isn't he very good at catching fish, and he is also good at digging small crabs.
Yue Zhan just raised the fire, when he heard the words, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Support the family?"
Ino's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered: "This is... an analogy, you can understand what I mean."
Yue Zhan nodded secretly, thinking to himself: Home is together.
Because he caught the fish himself, Ino felt a great sense of achievement. Although Yue Zhan's grilling skills were really poor, he still ate three in a row.
After eating and drinking, he said to Yue Zhan again, "Turn back quickly, I'm going to transform."
Yue Zhan: "..." Although it's true, it still feels like a good second.
At night, the two slept in the cave.
Although it is to survive in the wilderness, there are fish, (wild) vegetables, and berries, and it is a two-person world. For Yue Zhan, if you don't consider the question of when you can be rescued, the current life... Actually, it's pretty good.
But for Ino, it's not going to be nice any time soon. He didn't know whether he ate too much or caught a cold. In short, he began to feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night.
Frowning and sleeping until the next morning, he just walked out of the cave when he saw Yue Zhan killing fish.
After seeing the blood and smelling the fishy smell, he actually frowned, feeling a little nauseated by the fish for the first time.
But at this time his condition was not serious, and when Yue Zhan handed him the grilled fish, he couldn't hold back and turned around and vomited.
After vomiting, both of them were stunned.
Yue Zhan's first thought was, is the fish he made really unpalatable to the point of vomiting
Ino suddenly thought of the book, and the whole person froze.
[No, you won't really have a baby, will you?]
Over-the-stack: "… "
The fish in his hand was startled.
Ino didn't notice his reaction at all, and quickly opened his personal terminal. However, Huangxing had no internet, and the mailbox could not be opened at all.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed, pulled his hair and said, "When I was on the warship before, why didn't I remember to look at the mailbox?"
Alas, it's all his fault that he only wanted to see how Yue Zhan commanded, and completely forgot about it.
Yue Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and broke his hand, saving the bunch of dwarf hair, and comfortingly said, "Also... not necessarily, maybe you caught a cold, or... I didn't clean up the fish."
Having said that, there are two villains fighting in his mind, one is saying "the little prince has my child", the other sneering "the little prince will not conceive".
Ino also hoped that it was a bad stomach, but in his heart he always felt that it was not the case.
After all, he is pregnant in the book, what is impossible in reality? This is a setting written by the author himself, can there be fakes
He deliberately took advantage of the Yueji to go out, and turned out the book again, a little bit about the "symptoms".
In the estrus period, it is very easy to conceive, right.
Vomiting symptoms, yes.
And the time of symptom onset is also right, 8, 9 days + 10 days + 10 days, which is almost a month.
Craving for sour food... Well, he seemed to like the fish grilled by Yue Zhan with a sweet and sour jam yesterday.
It's over, it's right again!
Even when he touched his belly, he felt a little bulging.
Ino's heart was completely cold, thinking to himself—
[It's over, I'm really pregnant with Yue Zhan's cub.]
Yue Zhan had just returned from picking up some herbs, and when he heard this, all the medicine was dropped.
Exactly, sure? How to be sure
Seeing him, Ino hurriedly stuffed the book into the space bracelet, and then his eyes turned red, his voice was a little choked, and he asked at a loss: "What should I do? I'm really pregnant..."
After he finished speaking, his tears could not stop falling one by one, with confusion and fear.
Tears fell, all turned into pearls, hit the back of the hand, a little itchy.
Ah, this must also be the author's damn setting, Eno hates himself to be the protagonist now.
Yue Zhan stepped forward and wiped away his tears distressedly, comforting: "Not necessarily, I have picked some herbs that are also found in Imperial Star, which can relieve stomach discomfort, you can eat it first, maybe not tomorrow. Vomited."
Now he doesn't think about those who have or not. Since the little prince doesn't want it, he doesn't want it either.
But Yinuo was stunned after hearing this, and said subconsciously, "But... if you are really pregnant, if you eat these herbs now, will it be bad for the cub in the future?"
Over-the-stack: "… "
So, does the little prince really want to conceive
