Against the backdrop of the warm orange firelight, the woman's delicate face softened. The long and curly eyelashes cast a small shadow on her eyelids, which is very cute.
This dress made of fine soft shells was something he secretly took out from his sister's closet. It was just as he imagined, and it suited her very well. She is like the most shining pearl, and she deserves to be paired with such a beautiful dress.
He has never seen such a beautiful human being, even among the sharks who are always known for their beauty, there is no one better looking than her. He was very happy. Today was his first time coming out of the deep sea to play, and he met such a beautiful human being.
He was attracted to her at the first sight when he saw her in the sea, so he brought her to this secret island—this island belonged to him alone and no other human beings had discovered it.
However, although he can understand human speech, he cannot communicate with humans. He wanted to know her name, talk to her, and eat her food again.
Well, it was really delicious, better than anything he had eaten in hundreds of years.
He must work hard to learn human speech. I heard from his sisters that they also lived with humans two thousand years ago, so he must be able to speak human speech.
When Xi Ying fell into sleep, she didn't know that the boy was practicing speaking alone with his back to the fire. He has a very strong memory and repeats everything Xi Ying said over and over again in his mind.
Throughout the night, his mouth never stopped. From stuttering at first, to expressing his meaning fluently in Chinese.

The morning light is shining, and a new day has arrived.
Xi Ying woke up from the heat.
As soon as she opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight made her subconsciously cover her eyes with her hands.
"You're awake." A voice as clear as sea water sounded in her ears.
Xi Ying was stunned. This voice was...
She sat up suddenly and looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think it's amazing that I can talk?" The young man smiled, his delicate and delicate facial features vivid.
"Yes." Xi Ying seemed to have become the boy she was yesterday, and could only simply nod in response.
"This is my secret, I won't tell you." The boy put his right index finger on his lips, making a silent gesture.
Xi Ying still couldn't react to such changes.
How could he communicate with her like a normal person overnight? What happened last night? Or was her memory biased, and he was actually a talking person
Xi Ying was confused by the boy's performance.
"I think the food you made yesterday is delicious, and I still want to eat it." The young man stared at Xi Ying, his eyes full of desire. He walked behind a big rock and brought all the seafood he had prepared to Xi Ying: "I can only catch these. As for the...meat you caught yesterday? I don't know what to do..."
"You..." Xi Ying finally reacted, "Wait a moment."
"Huh?" The young man looked at Xi Ying with a handful of clams in his hand, his eyes still cute.
He is still the same boy as yesterday.
"Since you can speak now, I have something to ask you." Xi Ying waved to the young man, "First of all, can we introduce ourselves to each other?"
