Chapter 524 Look, there’s a mermaid (22)
Across the water, the sounds above the water seemed a little unreal. It wasn't until those vague sounds completely disappeared that Yun Qian climbed out of the water.
Because she was a little anxious to get up, Yun Qian accidentally choked on a mouthful of sea water, and then coughed violently.
Muir hurriedly came out of the water with a red face and red ears, and patted Yun Qian's back with his hand: "...Who made you so anxious?"
He didn't say he wouldn't let her kiss him.
After finally stopping coughing, Yun Qian's face turned as red as Muir's, "Cough...I'm going to die from suffocation if I don't get up..."
Of course this was a lie, and Yun Qian certainly wouldn't suffocate it to death, because even though a certain fish looked like it was about to burst red, it was still sucking Yun Qian's breath away when their lips were touching.
In the rare moment when he was breathing, Yun Qian seemed to feel a soft, moist and hot touch.
Muir blushed and wandered around, not daring to look at Yun Qian's face. His eyes moved to Yun Qian's fair neck little by little. After looking at it for two seconds, he quickly moved his eyes away and no longer fell on Yun Qian: "You...you clothes."
Yun Qian glanced down in confusion, only to realize that her clothes were stuck tightly to her body due to being stained with water, showing her graceful body curves.
Fortunately, the color of the clothes is not light, and the color will only become darker after being soaked in water.
Yun Qian stood up, and the sea water on his clothes dripped down, and she twisted it a few times casually, "I have to go back and change clothes first."
"What about you?"
Muir frowned slightly when he heard the first sentence, "Are you going back like this?"
Yun Qian didn't understand why: "Yes, is it possible to take it off and then go back?"
"........."
That's worse, Muir thought.
"You... why don't you wear my clothes?" Muir, who originally said that human language was fluent enough, seemed to have restored the factory settings.
"But," Yun Qian looked at Muir's upper body and then his long fish tail, "you're not wearing any clothes either."
Muir: "..."
Muir: "Who said it was the clothes!"
Muir is talking about the human clothes he wore when he transformed into legs. Human clothes will inevitably get wet when taken into the sea, so after transforming back into a fish tail, Muir usually puts the clothes on the rocks to dry, and then puts them on the rocks to dry. In his secret base.
Yun Qian looked at a bowl-shaped reef that was naturally formed by wind erosion, and watched Muir move the rocks on the reef. There was a small space inside, and Muir's clothes were placed inside.
She couldn't help but marvel at the magic of nature's creations.
"There is a public restroom over there. I'll go change." Yun Qian picked up the clothes.
Watching the girl's back go away little by little, Muir finally lay down on the reef with a sigh of relief, and the fish's tail stirred up a splash of water.
Muir put his hand on his chest near his heart, feeling the violent beating from his heart that had not yet completely calmed down.
"Stop jumping so fast..."
A murmur that sounded like a soliloquy was blown into the air by the wind.
.........
Muir's clothes were a lot too big for Yun Qian, and the sleeves and trousers were folded several times. Yun Qian tugged on the collar to block the collarbone that was about to be exposed.
Yun Qian was a little helpless, "Why are you laughing?"
"Hahaha..." Muir laughed heartily as he lay on the rocks, "You look like a kid wearing an adult's clothes."
"........."
With your behavior, who is the child? Yun Qian wondered.
"If you laugh again, I'll leave!" Yun Qian threatened.
Muir used his fish tail to stir up some water, "You are allowed to laugh at me, but I can't laugh at you..."
"What do you humans say? Only the state officials are allowed to light lamps, and the common people are not allowed to set fires."
Yun Qian smiled and said, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
Muir: "...No matter."
One person and one fish were making trouble until night fell and the sky was already dotted with stars.
Yun Qian asked Muir to tell her the story about Atlantis. Although Muir said he disliked it and said he would not tell it to her, he was the one who told her the most.
"Atlantis is the kingdom of all mermaids. As long as Atlantis exists, mermaids will never perish for a day..."
Muir's story-telling voice stopped abruptly as a little weight settled on his left shoulder and he tilted his head slightly.
Seeing that Yun Qian had closed her eyes peacefully and fell asleep.
Muir's mouth curled up, but his eyes gradually became filled with softness. He whispered, "I told you a story, and you still fell asleep."
"Forget it, I will lend you my shoulder for a while."
The warm breath was very close to him. Muir moved his head to the side a little stiffly, and gently rubbed the top of Yun Qian's hair with the side of his face.
"I've let you rely on it. It's not too much to charge some interest..."
---
Because she was too tired yesterday, Yun Qian couldn't resist the sleepiness that came over her while listening to Muir's story, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
When she woke up the next day, Yun Qian was already lying on the bed in her bedroom.
Yun Qian rubbed his eyes and reorganized his memory.
Weren't you still at sea before you fell asleep yesterday?
She put on her slippers, opened the door and walked to the living room, where she saw the beautiful mermaid sleeping soundly in the fish tank.
The mermaid sleeps with her mouth slightly open and spits out a bubble every time she breathes. She looks so cute.
Yun Qian couldn't help but laugh, and quickly covered her mouth to avoid waking up the fish.
She walked quietly to the balcony, only to find that yesterday's soaked clothes had been hung up to dry. However, her clothes-drying skills were not to be admired. The large clothes were only supported by a shelf and looked precarious in the wind.
Yun Qian quickly rescued the clothes and dried them again. When she returned to the living room, the mermaid had already woken up.
Muir lay sleepily on the edge of the fish tank, yawning lazily, and a few strands of hair playfully fell on his mouth, and he casually pulled them away.
"Did I disturb you?" Yun Qian walked over.
"No," Muir shook his head, "I just happened to wake up."
Yun Qian saw Muir looking like he could fall asleep at any time and didn't agree with it.
"Did you bring me back last night?" Yun Qian asked.
Muir was still a little confused and blurted out with half-open eyes: "You came back from sleepwalking on your own, I didn't hug you..."
Yun Qian: "...?"
She suppressed her laughter and moved closer, her warm breath entangled little by little.
When Muir's mind gradually cleared up, Yun Qian's head was already close at hand when he realized what he was doing.
Then Muir heard Yun Qian say with a smile: "You really didn't hug me?"
Muir shivered with fright, his elbow that was resting on the edge of the fish tank slipped, and he fell into the water with a "plop", and was submerged in a long series of bubbles.
"........."
He would become the first mermaid in history to be drowned.
