Chapter 4
Ji Peilin seemed to be enlightened, and began to send various delicacies to Bai Yu in different ways.
With the help of these delicacies, the relationship between Bai Yu and Ji Peilin quickly drew closer.
The main manifestation is that Bai Yu no longer hides when he sees Ji Peilin, and the "fear" in his eyes and body becomes less and less.
Sometimes when Ji Peilin came to Bai Yu's room, he could still see Bai Yu lying on the edge of the fish tank "looking forward to it", his eyes sparkling.
Every time Ji Peilin sees Bai Yu like this, his mood will also improve accordingly.
There was still little expression on his face, but his brows were soft, and the smile on his lips increased.
The original sense of distance disappeared.
If Bai Yu shows a special liking for any kind of food, the frequency of this kind of food will increase accordingly.
Such carefulness made Bai Yu feel more fond of Ji Peilin.
Even if Ji Peilin stared at him silently again, he didn't think Ji Peilin was strange anymore.
His tail is so pretty, it's normal for Ji Peilin to want to take a second look!
In addition, Ji Peilin stayed longer in the mermaid room.
After he discovered Bai Yu's curiosity about projection, Bai Yu got the treatment of "watching TV" very naturally every day.
Bai Yu, who has traveled through another world, can understand the words of the humans here, but he doesn't understand their words.
On the premise of being able to understand, compared with the subtitles of the projection program, Bai Yu's learning speed is not bad.
Of course, this appearance fell in Ji Peilin's eyes, which meant that Bai Yu was interested in the moving projection screen.
The two of them were like this, one was "watching TV" and the other lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing. They lived in peace for a few days.
Occasionally, Ji Peilin would approach the fish tank outside of feeding time, and Bai Yu would not show any particular resistance.
At most, he just looked at Ji Peilin with confusion in his eyes.
So far, Bai Yu felt that getting along with Ji Peilin was very pleasant.
——After Ji Peilin finally got the hang of it.
Humans with high EQ who are gentle, caring and caring like Ji Peilin are very rare no matter in which world they live.
Apart from being too careful when dealing with him as a mermaid, for fear of irritating or hurting him, the fish really wanted to give him full marks!
Another day, late at night.
Bai Yu had already fallen into a deep sleep.
But Ji Peilin came to the mermaid's room by moonlight.
The moon is bright tonight.
The light is projected on the water of the fish tank through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the shell bed and the pure white mermaid lying on the shell bed can be seen faintly.
Since his relationship with the merman improved, the merman slept less often on the shell bed.
There are some stones and pearls in the fish tank that will become very beautiful under the light. They glow with subtle light, reflecting the whole fish tank like a sea of stars.
But in comparison, the best looking is still the pure white mermaid lying on the shell bed.
The mermaid in the moonlight has a different beauty from that in the daytime.
Ji Peilin suffers from severe insomnia.
Sometimes he would walk around randomly at night.
Considering the mermaid's fear towards him when he first came... no, it should be the fear of humans, Ji Peilin never approached this room at night.
But today he didn't know why he came here.
When the mermaid first arrived, as long as he watched the mermaid for a while, the pure white mermaid would detect it and hide, and would wake up even if he fell asleep.
But now that a certain trust relationship has been established, Ji Peilin has been watching for a long time, but there is no response from the mermaid.
He stared at the sleeping mermaid for a while, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.
This idea was extremely abrupt, and Ji Peilin did not hesitate.
He turned around and left, and after a while, dragged two small quilts back to the mermaid's room, and then climbed up the steps on the side of the fish tank.
...
The next day, Bai Yu was awakened by the sun.
Lying on the pillow of the shell bed, Bai Yu stared blankly at the scenery outside the window for a while before his brain gradually woke up.
Blinking his eyes, he glanced at the time on the wall.
After realizing it, Bai Yu thought, why hasn't Ji Peilin come today?
With Ji Peilin's pinch habits, there are very few untimely times.
But today's Ji Peilin was five minutes late.
Bai Yu was not in a hurry, he rolled around on the shell bed, and after a while, he started to swim for daily cleaning.
Even if he became a mermaid, Bai Yu still retains the habit of belonging to a human being.
After doing this, Bai Yu swam towards the edge of the fish tank.
Ji Peilin bought him a lot of small snacks, which he had previously put away.
If Ji Peilin came late, he would not be hungry.
The fish tank is very large, and there is a step on the side that reaches the edge of the fish tank on one side to form a platform.
The purpose of the platform's existence is to facilitate Ji Peilin to feed Bai Yu. After all, the fish tank is really big, and it takes more than just strength to stand below to feed.
Sometimes Bai Yu would sit on that platform for a while.
The room is spacious, but not cramped.
Bai Yu's snacks are stored in the corner of the platform.
However, as soon as Bai Yu turned his eyes to the platform, he felt something strange.
When he swam over and stuck his head out of the water, he finally saw how the platform was different from the usual one.
Who would have thought that Ji Peilin, who was "late" today, was lying here peacefully.
Lie on your back with your hands folded on your stomach.
A simple quilt was placed under her body, and a smaller quilt was placed on her stomach.
If it weren't for Ji Peilin's steady breathing and his appearance of being in a deep sleep, Bai Yu almost thought that something happened to Ji Peilin.
but……
Ji Peilin's sleeping posture is so obedient.
He needs to put a quilt over his stomach!
It was completely different from Ji Peilin's usual feeling.
and……
Bai Yu leaned closer to Ji Peilin's head, his eyes swept back and forth over Ji Peilin's facial features.
Ji Peilin's eyelashes are so long!
He has a nice nose too!
The lip color is also great!
Are all the human genes in this world so good?
It doesn't seem right, although he has only seen three humans so far, and the other two are good-looking, but they are far behind Ji Peilin.
He hadn't paid much attention to these before!
Come to think of it, why does Ji Peilin have a bed and doesn't sleep and runs here to lie down?
Does Ji Peilin have any special hobbies? ? ?
Sleeping next to a jar of water, with a simple layer of quilt, shouldn't be very comfortable, right?
Perhaps Bai Yu stared at it for too long, Ji Peilin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly opened his eyes under Bai Yu's gaze.
Bai Yu didn't hide either, just turned his head to look at him.
Ji Peilin didn't react for a while, his eyes became extremely sharp for a moment, and Ji Peilin relaxed after seeing Bai Yu clearly: "...good morning?"
Feeling the danger for a moment, Bai Yu almost wanted to attack Ji Peilin: "..."
He had reason to suspect that Ji Peilin, who had just woken up, wanted to kill him?
Ever since he became a mermaid, Bai Yu had the intuition that he could feel the danger approaching, which was one of the reasons why he didn't die in the deep sea.
But it doesn't matter, he is a magnanimous fish, of course he won't care about Ji Peilin.
So Bai Yu showed Ji Peilin a clean smile that fit his own design perfectly.
...
There are two things.
Ji Peilin, who rarely had a good night's sleep, went back to his old position the next night and went down with a peaceful face.
From the very beginning, Bai Yu's eyes were strange, but later he was not surprised at all.
It's just another roommate.
And Ji Peilin's sleeping appearance is really good, as long as he lies down, he will be very quiet.
Bai Yu had a wonderful feeling that he was watching humans through the fish tank.
Out of consideration for Ji Peilin's health, Bai Yu took the time to make a temporary bed for Ji Peilin.
——Although he couldn't figure out why Ji Peilin didn't make a special bed for himself.
In view of the limited materials at hand, Bai Yu stuffed a lot of clothes into it.
They are all the new ones that Ji Peilin bought for him, and I heard that the mermaids are very fond of them nowadays.
Bai Yu has no sense of these shiny clothes, they have been piled up in a corner of the platform, and now they are all used.
The final effect...
It feels good to the touch, and it looks like a shiny... nest.
Bai Yu: "..."
Bai Yu apologized for his broken hand.
No matter how hard-hearted he was, he felt that it was not good for Ji Peilin to build such a "nest", but before he was about to start dismantling the "nest", Ji Peilin happened to come back and see it.
Then……
Ji Peilin's eyebrows softened, "Did you prepare this for me?"
Bai Yu: "..." Sometimes he thinks it's good to make people think that he can't speak.
Ji Peilin: "...Thank you, I like it very much. This is the first time someone gave me such a...cute gift."
Bai Yu: "..." Really, you don't have to force yourself.
Ji Peilin walked over, touched the "nest" that Bai Yu had specially arranged for him, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
This is the first time Bai Yu heard his laughter, but this laughter...
Sure enough, Ji Peilin also felt that the "nest" he made was a bit outrageous...
Originally, Bai Yu felt that he had a thick skin, otherwise he couldn't pretend that he was a silly, white and sweet wild mermaid who was harmed by humans, but at this moment, he felt as if he had died.
that is……
Why did he have nothing to do to clean up Pei Lin's bed?
Sure enough, it was because he had nothing to do in the fish tank every day, so he wanted to find something to do for himself.
When the time is right, Ji Peilin must get himself something similar to the "mobile phone" in his previous life.
How can human beings leave their mobile phones?
As long as he has a mobile phone, he will definitely be able to be a stable dead house fish.
Ji Peilin, who found that Bai Yu had built a "nest" for himself, was very happy all day.
This kind of happiness is different from the usual joy.
Bai Yu watched Ji Peilin, who was expressionless most of the time, burst into laughter all day long.
Smile suddenly while walking, smile suddenly at work, and smile suddenly when feeding.
Bai Yu didn't understand, what's so funny about his behavior of coming out of the nest, it can make Ji Peilin laugh all day long.
When it was time to rest at night, he saw Ji Peilin who was lying in the "nest" suddenly laughing.
Bai Yu: "..." Isn't Ji Peilin's smile a bit too weird?
But Ji Peilin seems to like his whole "nest" look.
On the premise that Ji Peilin liked Xiaowo quite a bit, Bai Yu forgave Ji Peilin's strange joke.
...
Another day, Bai Yu was lying on the edge of the fish tank "watching TV".
It's a TV show, but it's actually news.
Still news about mermaids.
Based on Bai Yu's shallow understanding of the mermaids in this world, if he had to describe them, he felt that the mermaids here were probably equivalent to the giant pandas in his previous life.
It is also an endangered giant panda.
While mermaids are being protected, all things related to mermaids will receive widespread attention.
Especially when the mermaids are frequently attacked.
The host in the news reported very seriously that in the past half month, many mermaids who went out were attacked by lawbreakers, and some brief and confusing videos were attached.
It can be seen from the video screen that it is a person who wrapped himself up and suddenly rushed towards the mermaid.
It is inconvenient for mermaids to go out, and they almost always use a special wheelchair for mermaids.
So suddenly someone rushed towards the mermaid, and it was very difficult for the mermaid to escape.
Fortunately, every mermaid that goes out cannot be a single fish by itself.
Coupled with the people's attention to the mermaid.
When a person suddenly rushed towards the mermaid, the people who found it immediately rushed towards the mermaid.
The whole scene was very chaotic.
Although the attacked mermaid was not injured, it was frightened, and the attacker escaped successfully many times surrounded by many people.
"I would like to remind the general public to protect the mermaids around me. The following is the information of the known attackers so far..."
There is not much information on the attackers, and even the photos are blurry.
Bai Yu stared at the attacker's photo for a while. Although he didn't show his face at all, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he looked. Could it be...
Is this the madman who wants to eat his liver? ? ?
Is that guy still alive?
A hand suddenly reached out, covering Bai Yu's vision.
Bai Yu blinked and looked at Ji Peilin who came to him at some unknown time.
"Don't be afraid." Ji Peilin said, "I will protect you."
