The sea, blue, boundless, ebbs and flows at regular intervals, as if it will never be changed by anyone or anything. It is far-reaching and vast, and the joys, sorrows, sorrows, love and hate are all sunk into it, sinking into the depths of the unknown sea.
People who have been shipwrecked have a certain shadow on the sea.
Shen Fengyue was sitting at the table, the windows beside him were tightly closed, and he blocked any gaps where he could see the sea, so there was very little light in the room, making it dark and gloomy. He ate with his head down, and his hair was untidy and disheveled.
This is the third day since that incident ended, and Shen Fengyue has maintained this decadent attitude towards life for the past three days.
The system was worried about him, and asked cautiously, "Old Shen, are you really okay?"
"It's okay." The chewing action paused, and after answering the system's words, he chewed mechanically again.
"How about you go for a walk outside? I saw that the weather is fine today."
"No."
The system is silent, it won't persuade people, and now I don't know what to do, so I can only be silent for a while.
Shen Fengyue looked up at the tightly closed window, and he even nailed wooden strips to it to make sure it was closed tightly. He is so afraid of the sea now that he doesn't even dare to look at it and think about it.
As long as you think of the sea, those painful memories will swept away extremely quickly. The deep and dark waters surrounded him, the terrifying suffocation, the hopeless powerlessness of struggling, sinking, the body kept sinking…
And he, powerless, could only watch. As long as he thought about it like this, he couldn't help but tremble.
After eating, Shen Fengyue casually wiped her mouth twice, intending to go back to bed paralyzed, but as soon as she got up, she heard a dull knock on the window.
Bang bang bang.
The other party knocked three times in a row, neither light nor heavy, with some careful probing.
Shen Fengyue: "..." He stood in the dark, looking at the closed window.
Bang bang bang.
Three more knocks on the window. It was followed by a familiar voice.
"Grumble."
"Don't bother me!" Shen Fengyue knew who it was and yelled at him impatiently.
Siren was sternly roared by Shen Fengyue, was silent for a while, and then said, "Gululu? Gululu?"
Bang, bang, bang.
He struck slowly and slowly, but firmly.
Shen Fengyue saw that he would not give up without knocking on the window, and said helplessly: "Don't bother, the window was nailed to death by me."
There was no movement outside, Shen Fengyue thought he had given up, and turned around and left.
The next moment there was movement on the side of the window, a hole was broken in the middle of the wooden window, and a sharp claw with webs stretched in, it went up enough, touched the wooden bar and pulled it off.
The window was violently opened from the outside, and Shen Fengyue turned around to look.
Sunshine, like an elegant but powerful monarch, squeezed in with an unstoppable attitude, attacked the city, the sky opened, and the whole room saw the light for the first time after three days.
A large beam of light hit Shen Fengyue, illuminating him.
Shen Fengyue, who had not seen the light for three days, subconsciously reached out to cover her eyes, but she was still stimulated to the point of tears. His vision was hazy, and in the tears he saw a tall figure, he was holding something in his hands, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
After his eyes got used to the sunlight, he could see clearly that it was an ugly fish. He was holding a bunch of large pearls that had been processed in his hand, and looked at himself with expectation. After realizing that Shen Fengyue was looking at him, he bared his teeth and smiled.
The large pearls shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Gululu." Siren put the pearls in his hands on the table, but because all the pearls were too smooth and round, as soon as they were placed on the table, they swiped around and scattered.
Siren hurriedly rescued in annoyance, but could only save a few. He held the few surviving pearls in his hands and stared at Shen Fengyue.
"… let it go."
Siren put down embarrassedly. Immediately, the uncontrolled pearls slid off the table like their previous companions and jumped to the ground.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. The last pearl bounced a few times on the ground and finally stopped.
The pearls all over the ground are invaluable, but no one picks them up at this time.
Shen Fengyue rubbed her brows, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, saying, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Siren didn't say a word, the gap between his throat opened and closed a few times, and he moved a few steps to the side, revealing the blue that was blocked by him.
The blue color was too dazzling, and Shen Fengyue turned her head away in irritation just by looking at it.
He didn't speak again, and the siren was anxious, making a long, almost pleading, bubbling sound.
Shen Fengyue shook her head, and he began to grumble again.
Being quarreled, Shen Fengyue had no choice but to laugh and say angrily: "I'm very scared now, you know, so I can't go to the beach with you to play, you can play by yourself."
Hearing this, Siren shook his head like a rattle. Seeing that Shen Fengyue was still determined, he leaned forward on his own initiative, stretched out his arms and grabbed Shen Fengyue like catching a chicken and dragged it out of the window.
The system watched all this without saying a word. It thought that it probably guessed Ugly Fish's intention. He wanted to help Shen Fengyue overcome his fear of the sea.
But Shen Fengyue didn't know this. After he was hugged by Siren, he began to struggle frantically, scratching, kicking, and biting.
Shen Fengyue was exhausted, paralyzed in Siren's arms, desperately said: "Let me go."
Siren hugged Shen Fengyue horizontally, and when he heard the words, he tipped him upwards, freeing up a hand to caress the back of his neck as if to soothe him. Shen Fengyue turned her head and bit his forearm lightly, and the siren condoned him to bite.
After biting for a while, her teeth were sore, and after finding that it was not lethal to others, Shen Fengyue let out a sigh, and was hugged by Siren.
She didn't die until the Yellow River, but Shen Fengyue finally gave up when she got to the beach.
The water swept over a small stretch of sand and would drown Siren's ankles, and he stepped on the shallow water and headed for the sea.
Siren put Shen Fengyue down. As soon as Shen Fengyue saw the sea, her calf began to soften and she could not stand steadily. When the tide rose, she was so frightened that Shen Fengyue hurriedly stepped back. She stepped on her left foot and saw that she was about to fall.
Fortunately, the siren caught him in time and pulled him up a few times. As soon as he let go of Shen Fengyue, he slid down like a fish, so the siren didn't dare to let go of him.
Shen Fengyue was firmly grasped by Siren, her eyes were tightly closed, and she did not dare to look at it. The next moment he became lighter and was picked up horizontally.
The siren carried him and walked into the water step by step, the sea flowing over his knees, then his thighs, and finally to his waist. With a squeak, his legs turned into fish tails.
Shen Fengyue closed his eyes, the smell of salty sea water involuntarily drilled into his nostrils, his heart skipped a beat, and he was sweating coldly. He heard the subtle sound of the water hitting the ugly fish, and he felt despair in his heart that he was sure this time was over.
A pair of strong arms carried him, turned him over, and sat on something.
The water soaked his trousers, and he straddled a thick, smooth strip with his legs spread apart. The astonishing touch made him open his eyes and found himself riding at the junction of the siren's body and the fish's tail.
"This..." He opened his mouth slightly in surprise, stunned.
The siren, who was facing away from him, turned his head and shook his hair.
"Grumble."
Shen Fengyue was afraid of slipping, so she stretched out her hands and grabbed Siren's shoulders, moving her body forward to stabilize her center of gravity.
He looked down at the blue sea water flowing over his half body, dizzy for a while, and fear hit him. At present, the only thing he could rely on to bring him a sense of security was the greasy merman.
Shen Fengyue leaned over his back and hugged Siren's neck. Siren's body temperature is low, and it feels icy cold to the touch, but no matter how cold it is, it is not as cold as sea water.
"Gululu?" The sudden warmth that only belonged to humans made him shudder, and when he tilted his head, he found that Shen Fengyue had closed his eyes, his brows were wrinkled, and his expression was sullen.
The siren waved the fish tail gently, and the tail flapped the sea water and slowly swam to the farther sea. He moved very lightly, trying his best to keep his balance and reduce the shock to Shen Fengyue.
Siren floated on the sea, making sure that Shen Fengyue's upper body did not sink into the sea. Every time his tail swayed, Shen Fengyue on his back could feel it, and it rose and fell accordingly.
He felt the coldness of the sea, and the coldness enveloped him. He was like a victim drifting in the sea, but at this moment he had a driftwood that could sustain his life temporarily, and he tightly hugged the floating tree under him. Wood.
After a while, he opened his eyes and got up to re-examine the sea.
The sea was sparkling, dotted with shards of stars, and he sat on this flat sea as if occupying a high position, like a king patrolling his territory.
Siren felt Shen Fengyue's movements and tilted his head to look at him while swimming.
Shen Fengyue looked at Siren's face, cleverly he had already guessed Siren's intention.
"Guru?"
He couldn't live up to his good intentions.
"Ugly fish." He took a deep breath, had a bold idea in his heart, and ordered, "Swim faster, at your fastest speed!"
Siren looked at him seriously for a few years, and then whispered and vaguely responded to a few bubbles in his throat, gentle and lingering.
Then in response to Shen Fengyue's command, he began to speed up, the powerful tail waving more force, and accelerated in the sea.
Due to the high speed, a gust of wind was generated, which ruffled Shen Fengyue's uncombed hair. He wiped a handful of hair and combed it back, feeling the oncoming gust of wind, and the depression in his heart that had been united for many days seemed to be swept away. Blown out a little.
He thought silently in his heart, he Shen Fengyue would never be afraid of this thing in front of him.
The system also cheered him on: "Come on!"
The siren traveled straight across the sea like an off-line arrow, leaving a straight white line.
Shen Fengyue held his shoulders and straightened her waist, proud like a little prince.
The waves rolled under his feet, and he stretched his legs, breaking the sea all the way, leaving snow-white marks. Seagulls flew overhead, making a few loud calls from time to time, and the wind whistled in his ears.
He is here, riding the wind and waves.
A passion for conquering nature spewed out of his heart. He shouted uncontrollably. After shouting a few times, he was sweating profusely, but his heart was very happy.
The wind took away the sweat he shouted, and the water vapor that came out washed away the sweat stains for him, and his face was refreshed.
Shen Fengyue looked at this vast blue, since ancient times, I am afraid that no one has ever ridden a merman to soar over the sea.
He is the first one.
Thinking about it, he laughed out loud, bent down, and burst into tears. He expelled the fear of many days from his body and conquered himself.
He laughed loudly, and the crisp laughter was full of power.
Siren sensed that the knot in his heart had opened, and his mood was also relieved, and he shouted along with him.
Even a big jump crossed the sea and drew a beautiful arc in the air. Shen Fengyue looked up at the V-shaped seagull flying high in the sky, and let go of her hand and opened her arms to fly.
The merman jumped into the sea, and Shen Fengyue was surrounded by the sea again, but the next moment he was lifted up and placed on his waist again.
He wiped his face, stroked his wet hair back, sat upright on the merman's waist, continued to laugh, and laughed even more.
Siren knew that he liked this, so he followed a few big jumps with Shen Fengyue to appreciate the joy of flying in the sky.
Shen Fengyue lay on his back and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Siren also raised his eyebrows gently.
"Grumble."
