Chapter 23

"Huh?" Dong Zai made a soft sound of doubt. He raised his little face and only saw the boy's thin chin.

Han Zhan lowered his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Zai Zai doesn't remember your brother?" He turned his wrist, from hugging the little mermaid to holding it up, holding Dong Zai up to face him face to face.

His body turned in an uncontrollable direction. Dong Zai grasped the young man's fingers tightly and raised his eyes. His blue pupils reflected the young man's indifferent face.

It's my brother.

The little tail fin of the winter cub swayed happily, brother is back~

The blue fish tail was incredibly soft, sweeping across Han Zhan's palm like a small brush.

He has been away for more than half a month, but the little mermaid has not changed at all. It is still so small and soft that it can be held in one hand.

Dong Zai looked at his brother with envy. He seemed to have grown taller and more powerful.

Zaizai also wants to become powerful.

"I miss my brother." Han Zhan pressed his fingers on the small tail fin to prevent him from moving.

Dong Zai said softly, "I miss you, brother."

"Little mermaid!" The little fat bird flapped its wings above Han Zhan's head and quacked, "Who are you! Let go of the little mermaid!"

"Pangpang." Dong Zai grabbed Han Zhan's hair and tried to climb up, "Zai Zai, brother."

"Oh." The little fat bird suddenly realized, "He is your brother. Little mermaid, come up quickly and I will take you flying."

"No, no." Dong Zai was so scared that he hugged the side of Han Zhan's face, "Brother, go play~"

Brother, take Zaizai to play.

Han Zhan glanced at the little fat bird coldly, swung his tail, and plunged into the sea. The splash of water slapped the little fat bird in the face.

"Quack?" The little fat bird was a little confused. He shook his head and shook off the sea water on his body.

"Hmph" The little gray whale slapped its tail, causing water to splash high.

He slapped the little fat bird in the face again.

Not far away, Dong Kui saw the mermaid he hated taking away the Dong cub. He was furious and said to Yuan Xi, "Han Zhan is back. Is your father back too?"

Yuan Xi's face tightened, she was already absent-minded and in no mood to continue playing, "Dong Kui, I have to go back."

"Then I won't play anymore." Dongkui shouted to the little mermaids playing on the sea, "Hill, we are going back."

"Okay." The little mermaids plunged into the sea together, swaying their colorful little tails, and quickly disappeared on the sea.

The sea surface became calm again, and several eagles flew over the blue sky from time to time, and their hoarse eagle calls cut through the sky.

In the vast ocean, transparent jellyfish float with the water, and the entire underwater world is so quiet and peaceful.

"Brother." Dong Zai pointed at the seaweed growing vigorously on the bottom of the sea, "Fly high."

The corners of Han Zhan's mouth curved slightly, "Aren't you scared anymore?"

"Brother is here." Dong Zai said with an air of arrogance, "Zai Zai, don't be afraid."

Han Zhan pulled out a few seaweeds and made a simple swing.

Dong Zai happily shook his little tail and swam over, sat on it, grabbed the left and right sides with his little hands, and urged: "Brother, let's go."

Han Zhan grabbed the seaweed and swam quickly with his black fish tail, dragging the little mermaid through coral reefs, giant algae forests, and canyon cracks...

The little mermaid's laughter suddenly sounded in the quiet sea, waking up the sea beasts sleeping on the bottom of the sea. The sea beasts opened their eyes and then closed them again.

Tired of playing, the winter cub sat on a cluster of staghorn corals. The nearby little fish cubs swam over and sucked his fingers and tail.

It was so tickling that Dong Zai couldn't stop laughing.

Han Zhan said, "Have you had a lot of fun recently?"

Dong Zai smiled happily and was about to nod when he suddenly became wary. He held his little face in his hands and said, "I miss you, brother."

"Little liar."

Dong Zai pouted and denied, "No, Zai Zai, a little liar."

Han Zhan poked the little mermaid's swollen cheek with his finger, thinking that his brother was still having so much fun.

Dong Zai couldn't help spitting out a bunch of bubbles. When he saw the transparent bubbles coming out of his mouth, Dong Zai quickly covered his mouth with an innocent expression.

Han Zhan thought of something and pressed Dong Zai's eyebrows, "Will it still be hot here?"

Brother's fingers were so cold. Dong Zai raised his little hand and covered his forehead with a confused expression, "No."

"It's fine if you don't."

Maybe he and Ari misjudged it, and it might not be the awakening pattern.

If possible, he hoped that the little mermaid's awakening period would come slower and slower. He was not strong enough to protect the little mermaid, so he needed to give him some more time until he became stronger.

Han Zhan took Dong Zai for a swim in the sea before returning to the shallow sea area.

Watching a group of little fish cubs swimming past with their tails wagging, Han Zhan paused, as if he didn't understand where these little fish cubs came from.

"Brother, little fish~" Dong Zai took Han Zhan's finger and took him to Gorgonian Coral to see the newly hatched fish.

The two big-headed fish were completely tamed by the little gray whale, as if they knew that their lives were safe for the time being, and settled down on the gorgonian corals with peace of mind. Even if the little gray whale was not there, they did not escape secretly.

Hearing Dong Zai's soft voice, Jia Li swam out of the room. He leaned against the door with red lips. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't have noticed that his hair was a little messy.

Jia Li hooked up her hair and said, "The female bighead fish you sent for winter laid eggs a few days ago and the little ones just hatched."

Lei Zhe swam out and said, "Zai Zai."

"Dad!" Dong Zai swam into the palm of Lei Zhe's father's hand, "Zai Zai, I miss my dad."

Lei Zhe weighed the little mermaid, then compared the height of the little mermaid, and turned his head to look at Jia Li silently.

In the end, he still didn't ask Jiali if he had abused their Zaizai.

"Are you hungry, Zaizai?" Lei Zhe asked.

Dong Zai touched his belly. Zai Zai seemed to be hungry, "I want some meat."

Lei Zhe fished out a big-headed fish from the fishing net. On their way back, they met Ari and listened to what happened recently.

Ari's body was covered with fishing nets, and each person was given a fishing net. Several of them came back with a net full of fish.

Thinking of this, Lei Zhe couldn't help but sigh, the fishing net is really easy to use, and he can easily bring back dozens of big fish.

Dong Zai finished a bowl of meat paste in one go, which showed that he was really hungry during this period.

"Zai Zai is hungry."

Han Zhan looked at Dong Zai's belly, picked up the shell bowl and pounded the meat into paste.

At this time, the little gray whale swam over with the original stream on its back.

"Uncle Lei Zhe, I..." Yuan Xi got off the back of the little gray whale.

It happened that Yuan Xi returned to Qianhai District and immediately went back to the small white house. However, he did not see Long Hui's father, so Yuan Xi came to find Uncle Lei Zhe and wanted to know where his father was.

Lei Zhe said: "Longhui didn't come back."

Yuan Xi bit her lower lip, "Is my dad okay?"

"He is not in danger at the moment."

Ari happened to swim over with a small sea beast in his arms, "Lei Zhe, I tried...Eh? Xiao Yuanxi is here too."

Jiali responded lazily: "How is it?"

"No problem." Ari picked up the sea beast in the fishing net. "I'll ask the bird people if they want it."

The sea beast in the fishing net has its belly turned up and its eyes bulging, looking like it is on the verge of death.

After Ari got the fishing net, he went out for a swim, and he bumped into a group of bugs attacking sea monsters.Ari quietly used a fishing net to tease the little sea beast. He was worried and tied a tight knot to prevent the bugs from getting out.

"Well..." Ai Ruiqi said, "Lei Zhe, can you borrow your Zaizai?"

Han Zhan picked up the little mermaid and said, "No."

"I didn't ask you." Ari glared, "Is this your Zaizai?"

Dong Zai smiled, "Brother's, Zai Zai."

Dong Zai, you little traitor.

Ari pretended not to hear and kept asking Lei Zhe with his eyes.

"I won't borrow it." Lei Zhe said calmly, "I haven't settled the accounts with you for stealing Zaizai last time. Do you need to give me an explanation?" The Yuxi team is sorting it out, so stay tuned.

Ari felt very guilty, "By the way, I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Xiaoyuanxi, we're going back." Ai Rui scooped up Yuanxi with his big hand and hurried away.

After Ai Rui left, Lei Zhe turned to Jia Li and said, "I plan to go to the Great Trench in a few days."

Jiali narrowed her eyes and said word by word: "What did you say?"

"The situation over the Great Trench is not very optimistic."

Jia Li sneered coldly, "If the bugs are coming, let them come. Other mermaids are not in a hurry. What are you in a hurry for?"

Don't blame Jia Li for being too cold. Mermaids are inherently cold and heartless animals. After the bugs eating the mermaids happened, except for them, did any other mermaids come out to deal with the bugs?

No!They all stayed in their own homes, planning to wait for the bugs to die out on their own.

Lei Zhe said coldly: "The life and death of other mermaids has nothing to do with me."

Jia Li was furious and her voice rose unconsciously, "Then why did you go to the Great Trench to die?"

Dong Zai was holding a spoon and eating the meat paste. He was startled when he heard this. He turned to look at Jia Li's father, his face was nervous, "Dad?"

"Don't be afraid, Zai Zai." Lei Zhe rubbed Dong Zai's little head, not wanting Dong Zai's beautiful little braids to be messed up again.

"Let's go in and talk." Jia Li dragged Lei Zhe into the house.

Jiali crossed her arms and stared at Lei Zhe's face, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Jiali, I'm thinking, if insects occupy this sea area, can I still protect you?"

"I don't need your protection."

"What about Zai Zai?"

Lei Zhe's eyes were heavy, "He is so small, delicate, picky, and only eats mush. If there are no bighead fish, silvertail fish, or fin fish in the future, what will you let him eat?"

At the mention of Dong Zai, Jia Li's tense expression gradually relaxed. He had to admit that what Lei Zhe said made sense, "Then what are your plans?"

"I will organize some mermaids to go to the Great Trench and find a way to block it."

"We'll talk about the rest later."

The words in the room were very soft, but they were not deliberately concealed, and the content of the conversation fell into Han Zhan's ears word for word.

Hearing Lei Zhe's last words that sounded like a sigh, Han Zhan stopped holding the spoon.

After Dong Zai finished eating the meat paste on his spoon, seeing that his brother had not scooped out the meat paste, Dong Zai opened his rice-grained baby teeth and bit Han Zhan's finger.

Of course, Dong Zai's strength was like scratching an itch. Han Zhan lowered his head and said, "Open your mouth."

Dong Zai chuckled.

Han Zhan looked at the innocent little mermaid and couldn't help but have an incredible guess in his heart.

Maybe Uncle Lei Zhe's ambitions don't stop there.
