Kerry gets busy. As an earl, many things must be handled personally. But even so, Kerry still came to the coast on time every night, sitting on the rocks and talking to Qi Yan about things on land as usual.
His increasingly thin face made Qi Yan unbearable, otherwise he would come to see her again and take a rest occasionally.
Kerry did not get angry, but nodded uncharacteristically. Then, he invited Qi Yan to stay at Hilal Mansion for a few days.
"Ayan hasn't been on land yet, has he?" Kerry peeled off a crystal clear grape and handed it to Qi Yan's mouth. What he brought today was fruit. Because Kerry had discovered long ago that Qi Yan preferred fruits to those greasy pastries.
Kerry suddenly invited Qi Yan to his mansion, which surprised Qi Yan.
"It's true that I have never been to land, but..."
"Then there's no problem, right?" Kerry's eyes were bright: "As long as I'm here, Ayan won't be hurt. And if it's just in my mansion, it's so close to the sea, so there won't be any problem!"
Having said this, Qi Yan would no longer refuse Kerry's hopeful gaze.
"Then tomorrow morning." Qi Yan brushed the water: "In human form, I can only last for a week."
One week is Qi Yan's biggest limit, because he has never set foot on land. Just like practice makes perfect, merfolk who often set foot on land may last longer.
That night, Kerry was so excited that he didn't sleep well. From time to time, he sat up from the soft big bed, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
The next day it was still light, so Kerry got up. He cleaned his bedroom for a while, wiping it clean inside and out. Then I ran to the bathroom and cleaned the bathtub until it was white and shiny.
"My Lord Count!"
There was an extremely frightened cry from outside the door. The housekeeper walked in from the door and saw Kerry rolling up his sleeves and cleaning the bathroom with a towel in his hand. His whole body trembled.
"Is it because the maid didn't clean it well?" The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Even so, you don't need to clean it yourself, Lord Earl. I will find a more careful maid to clean it!"
"Oh no, butler." Kerry was in a very good mood: "I will invite a distinguished guest today."
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the count's bright expression, this distinguished guest seemed to have a good background.
"If that's the case, then I'll order someone to clean up a guest room..."
"No need for a guest room!" Kerry waved his hand: "He can just live with me."
The housekeeper paused, coughed twice, and bravely asked: "I would like to ask, is this distinguished guest... Master Gabor from the Guagues family?"
"No." Kerry glanced at him and waved his hand: "Go prepare breakfast and get more fresh fruits."
"Hey? Are the distinguished guests coming soon?" The butler was a little confused. After all, the Earl's distinguished guests would not be able to walk away because of the neglect of servants like them.
Kerry didn't talk nonsense to him, straightened himself up, put on his coat, and walked outside.
The housekeeper in the room looked at Kerry's back and sighed leisurely.
-It seems that the servants can't be lazy today. This distinguished guest is obviously the Earl's favorite.
Qi Yan woke up from the coral bush, and a ray of sunlight hit the sea. Qi Yan wiped his eyes and stretched out his hand to touch the ray of light.
The world under the sea is much simpler than on land. There is no intrigue or morality. What you see is a clear blue, which is refreshing, as if the unique fragrance of sea flowers permeates every part of the sea.
"Ayan—"
A soft call suddenly came from the sea, and along with the waves of the sea, it reached Qi Yan's ears.
His thoughts were recalled, and Qi Yan swam towards the sea with all his strength.
"Ayan!"
As soon as Qi Yan popped up, Kerry couldn't wait to wave. Qi Yan swam over and saw Kerry injured, holding a pile of clothes.
"What's this?"
"These are the clothes I prepared for you!" Kerry said happily: "Although I don't know what you like, you can wear this set of clothes and choose what you like, and I will buy them all for you!"
Qi Yan nodded and said, "You want to retreat."
Kerry stepped back according to his words. Qi Yan felt the surge of the waves, suddenly jumped up, and landed firmly on the rocks.
The light blue fish tail soaked in the sea water was finally completely exposed to the air, glowing with a dreamy luster. Kerry was stunned.
Then, like magic, the fish tail slowly formed a pair of slender and straight legs at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. The skin, which has not been exposed to the sun all year round, was white and transparent, with a little water droplets, which made it look special. temptation.
Kerry swallowed, couldn't help but squat down, and slowly reached his hand towards Qi Yan's chest.
The unprepared Qi Yan was attacked in the chest.
Qi Yan looked at the hand covering his chest in silence, and his indifferent gaze moved up and landed on Kerry's blank face.
"Kerry..." Qi Yan pointedly asked: "What are you doing?"
"Uh." Kerry quickly retracted his hand and looked away with a slightly shy cheek: "You put it on first, then call me after you finish putting it on..."
After saying that, he stuffed his clothes into Qi Yan's arms and jumped off the rock in a panic.
In the shadows, Kerry's red, almost ripe face seemed to be dripping with blood.
Qi Yan put on his clothes. These clothes were a bit too big, but they were barely dressed, so it wasn't weird that they were too big.
"Okay, look...what are you doing there?"
Qi Yan stared blankly at Kerry covering his face and asked in confusion.
Kerry quickly calmed down his excitement and turned around to see Qi Yan wearing his own clothes. Although not very decent, he was filled with a cool and elegant beauty.
This kind of Qi Yan was only revealed to him.
—It has gone beyond the concept of friends, so having more feelings is worthy of being forgiven.
"Let's go to the castle."
Qi Yan called to Kerry, who came out of his reverie and followed him.
Sure enough, Qi Yan is Qi Yan... An indescribable smile appeared on Kerry's lips.
Entering through the side door, Kerry took Qi Yan and first went to the round tower that had been with him since his childhood.
"Two years ago, I was still living here." He sighed as if he was mocking, but deep in his words, there was so much sadness.
Qi Yan walked around the small room, looked at it and said: "It's not bad, at least I like it very much."
"That's because Ayan, you have never had such a residence." Kerry shook his head helplessly and smiled: "In the human world, such a prosperous mansion, but living in such a simple room, seems to tell the world that this People—are not reused.”
"I thought I was going to stay here my whole life."
"Until I met you, Ayan."
—You are the driving force for my survival, and you are the one I try my best to protect.
We were friends once, but now
I'm sorry, maybe I can no longer be separated from you for so long in the winter.
If my days are like years, this kind of separation will kill me.
