Meeting Nasha's eyes, Kerry highlighted a syllable.
"I… "
Kerry was struggling, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Seeing his hesitation, Nasha's little face suddenly fell: "If I disturb you, forget it..."
"That's not the case!" Kerry quickly replied: "It's just... it's a little inconvenient, so you'd better ask someone to show you around."
After saying that, Kerry closed his eyes, turned around and ran away.
Seeing him running away, there was no sad look on Nasha's childish face, only endless exploration and a slightly raised corner of her mouth.
When he ran to a place where no one was around, Kerry held his knees and panted, feeling a little regretful.
—The other party is a saint! If...if I could have a good relationship with the Saint, wouldn't it be very helpful to my future? Stupid Kerry! Do you want to live a life of being bullied like this all your life? !
Kerry didn't want to analyze what was going on in his mind, but he knew clearly that getting rid of this kind of life was what he dreamed of.
—Let everyone pay for their ignorance!
Pausing, Kerry wanted to turn around and run back to regain this opportunity, but he stopped as soon as he took half a step.
Deep down... I still don't want to go.
Even if you want revenge, you can't be so spineless.
Kerry, who is still a young man, does not understand the ways of the world. Now he is just confused and confused, unwilling to accept his current life, but there is nothing he can do... He has no friends, no one to get close to, and he is the only one struggling alone in the huge mansion.
Suddenly, my mother's loving face when she passed away appeared in my mind. She stroked her head, comforted herself softly, wiped her tears, and then never raised her hand again...
If it were a mother, what would she tell herself? What will happen
Unknowingly, Kerry had walked out of the side door of the mansion and walked towards the beach in the distance.
The side door is the door that receives the least attention, and Kerry's room happens to be in the round tower of the side door. It is a small place, like a doll abandoned there.
Qi Yan was swimming in the water and felt the sound of heavy objects falling into the water behind him. Although it was not very clear, Qi Yan's hearing was very sensitive in the sea.
Quietly emerging from the water, Qi Yan saw a thin figure sitting on the beach in the distance, sitting on the rocks with his knees in his arms.
Without even thinking, I knew it was Kerry.
Qi Yan swam over quietly. Daytime was no better than night. In order not to be discovered, Qi Yan could only be cautious.
Arriving at the reef last night, Qi Yan came up and saw that Kerry was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice him, so he called out softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Kerry was stunned, looked down, and then a big smile appeared on his face: "You still remember me!"
Qi Yan glanced at him indifferently, then looked away and looked at the sea in the distance: "Of course, my memory is not only seven seconds."
Kerry reached down his hand happily: "My name is Kerry, what's your name?"
Qi Yan looked at the hand, pondered for a moment, took out his hand and held it with sea water: "Qi Yan."
"Qi Yan?" Kerry murmured and repeated, "Dongyang's name?"
Qi Yan took back his hand and turned his head coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Kerry thought he had touched some taboo, so he shrunk his shoulders and stopped asking any more questions.
There was silence between the two of them. Qi Yan was soaking in the water and Kerry was sitting. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
It was almost lunch time, and the silent atmosphere made Kerry a little anxious. What if someone came to him and discovered Qi Yan...
"Well..." Kerry opened his mouth tentatively. Seeing that Qi Yan showed no change, he continued: "I... want to become stronger."
Qi Yan was stunned and looked up at him: "What makes you stronger?"
"I want to become stronger so that no one can bully me, beat or scold me."
The extremely serious words spoken in this childish voice should have sounded like a joke, but Qi Yan could hear the hatred and unwillingness deep in the words.
After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yan asked, "Is it the wound from yesterday?"
Hearing this, Kerry unconsciously raised his hand, touched his bruised area that was no longer painful or swollen, and responded softly: "Yes."
"Then become stronger." Qi Yan focused his attention on the group of seagulls playing in the distance, and his voice was as indifferent as a bystander.
"When you become stronger, you can protect the people you want to protect."
[Kerry's favorability towards Qi Yan is +5, current favorability is 25]
Looking down at his smooth silver hair sticking to his fair skin, and his lean and strong upper body with extremely perfect lines, Kerry was startled, and the following words blurted out.
"I want to protect you."
It's like... protecting you, keeping you by my side, being my own mermaid.
Qi Yan's movements froze, and he met Kerry's hot gaze, with an indifferent and cold glimmer in his pupils.
"Then come and protect me."
…
It's like a childhood joke, who would pursue these things when everyone is an adult? It was considered an encouragement, so Qi Yan agreed. Every day after that, Kerry would sneak out at night, sit on this rock, chat with Qi Yan, and talk about the strange things on the mainland.
A lot of times, Kerry came in injured, sometimes late because of the injury.
Every time, Qi Yan would not ask questions, but would wait quietly until he arrived.
No man would want anyone he cares about to ask about his failures, especially those that cannot be dealt with.
The more scars there are, the weaker the Kree is. And similarly, as the scars increase, he will become more determined to do a certain thing.
A year has passed and Kerry and Qi Yan have maintained a 'friend' relationship, chatting every day, although mostly Kerry talks and Qi Yan listens. And Kerry's favorability level naturally rose to '40'.
"Ayan, I brought some cakes, do you want to try them?"
Boys always grow up quickly. If Kerry could still be seen as a teenager a year ago, now he is as tall as a grown man at the airport.
Although I have to admit, Kerry is already a seventeen-year-old young man. Standing over 1.8 meters tall, he was still sitting on the rock. He no longer looked thin and thin, but looked extraordinarily handsome and powerful.
Qi Yan did not take the pastry he brought, but looked at him calmly and said one word at a time: "Kerry, I'm leaving."
Winter is coming soon, Qi Yan must leave the sea and go to the volcanic sea.
Volcanic sea, as the name suggests. A sea surrounding the crater. It is protected from the cold current and is a good place for mermaids to spend the winter.
After Qi Yan finished speaking, Kerry stood up abruptly, lowering his head and staring at Qi Yan.
"Are you even going to leave me?!"
