Chapter 65
According to normal logic.
A mermaid fell asleep and woke up to find that her beautiful tail had turned into human legs, and she would be very frightened and even unable to accept the reality.
Conversely, so do humans.
After discovering that Bai Yu's tail had turned into human legs, Ji Peilin's mind flashed a lot of chaotic thoughts, and what stayed was, "Will Xiaoyu be very helpless and scared?"
When he saw Bai Yu who woke up and touched his legs from time to time, Ji Peilin felt his heart shrink.
Although Xiaoyu did not reveal his inner thoughts, the expression on his face revealed more doubts.
But you don't have to think about it to know how frightened the little fish must be when he finds that his tail has turned into legs.
So after Ji Peilin took Bai Yu back, the first thing he did was to comfort Bai Yu.
And in the behavior of Bai Yu's legs, try to maintain the same behavior and attitude as before when facing the fish tail.
If his behavior is different from before, what should Xiaoyu do if he thinks that he dislikes him for not having a beautiful tail and feels even more sad?
Ji Peilin didn't want Bai Yu to feel sad.
Bai Yu noticed the thinking behind Ji Peilin's "too normal" behavior.
Really "too normal".
Obviously his tail has become a leg.
When he needed to move, Ji Peilin would still choose to hold him and move directly.
Even when needed, put him back in the huge fish tank in the room, and told him to rest well.
Bai Yu: "..."
Bai Yu felt angry and funny.
It was obvious that his tail had turned into a leg, but Ji Peilin was more concerned about this matter than his client.
That look of being careful and careful, for fear of making him feel sad about losing his beautiful tail, is really...
Maybe I should be a little more cooperative?
Bai Yu, who was thinking like this, did not show any resistance to how Ji Peilin treated himself.
——Except that every time Ji Peilin put him in the fish tank, he felt almost soaked, and Bai Yu would climb out of the fish tank by himself.
Everything seems to be the same as before.
Except that the place where they live has changed once again.
The house is still a familiar structure to Bai Yu, and the men in suits are still seeing the beginning and the end of the dragon.
Even... Bai Yu wondered if Ji Peilin had restricted the movements of the men in suits on the island.
Now even the handling of ingredients has become Ji Peilin's own hands, making and feeding on the spot in front of Bai Yu.
In the past, Bai Yu thought that food with high energy content was delicious.
Now that have not enough energy and have been hungry for several days, Bai Yu feels that the food has become more delicious.
And he also likes Ji Peilin's craftsmanship.
Therefore, during the few days when Bai Yu woke up, Bai Yu ate very deliciously every day.
Every time he ate very happily, Bai Yu's eyebrows and eyes would curl up, and the whole fish... no, it was the whole person who exuded a happy atmosphere.
Seeing this, Ji Peilin felt much less worried.
At the beginning, while feeding, ask Bai Yu some questions.
"How much does Xiaoyu know about his current physical condition?"
"Does the little fish want to eat other than these things?"
"Little fish's legs... can it turn back into a tail?"
"Is there anything Xiaoyu feels uncomfortable about? If so, please tell me."
One question after another came out of Ji Peilin's mouth.
It can be seen that these questions have been in Ji Peilin's mind for a long time.
When talking about Bai Yu's legs and tail, Ji Peilin still hesitated, but in order to find out Bai Yu's current state, Ji Peilin still asked in a more straightforward way.
Not only asking questions, Ji Peilin is also observing Bai Yu, distinguishing the similarities and differences between Bai Yu who has two legs and the previous one.
But Bai Yu who faced these problems...
In fact, seeing Ji Peilin who was so nervous about himself, Bai Yuyou thought about deliberately joking with Ji Peilin to make Ji Peilin nervous~
But in the end, Bai Yu still chose to answer the question carefully.
Reply to Ji Peilin's question from the perspective of "little fish".
Bai Yu could see how much Ji Peilin cared about his current state.
After realizing that Bai Yu's legs and fish tail can be switched freely, but only needs plenty of energy, Ji Peilin obviously relaxed a little.
Bai Yu knew why he was relaxing.
Ji Peilin was happy for Bai Yu.
Bai Yu didn't really lose his tail, but just had an option to use his legs.
In this way, the problem of Bai Yu's inconvenient movement on land in the past has also been greatly improved.
but……
"Does the little fish prefer to use their legs or their tail?"
When Ji Peilin asked this question, he looked very casual.
Most of the time, Ji Peilin's expressionless face, which rarely reveals obvious emotions, really makes it difficult for people to tell whether the words from his mouth have any special meaning.
Because every sentence sounds very ordinary.
But this problem is not common.
This is related to the main state of Bai Yu's life on land in the future.
after all……
Man is a social animal.
The mermaid's tail turned into two legs. It is absolutely rare for the legend to come true in human society.
At least Bai Yu has been surfing the Internet for so long, and he hasn't heard of such a thing.
It is conceivable that if the news that a mermaid has two legs is spread, it will cause much shock in the entire human society.
The heat and troubles that follow will not be small.
Bai Yu, who used to be a human being, understands very well that human nature is a thing that cannot stand the test.
Even if the vast majority of humans are friendly to mermaids, there are still relevant laws and regulations to protect mermaids.
But don't there still be "ignorant people" who want to eat mermaids?
Among the legends related to mermaids, the legend that "eating mermaid liver can give you immortality", before it was proved to be ineffective, there were no people who hunted mermaids openly and honestly?
Bai Yu didn't want to put himself in danger.
Although Ji Peilin seems to be quite powerful, he also trusts Ji Peilin - now that he can feel Ji Peilin's emotional changes more clearly.
But Bai Yu didn't want Ji Peilin to suffer unnecessary pressure and danger.
but……
It's really fun and embarrassing.
The embarrassed Bai Yu leaned on the table with his chin resting on his hands.
Long and dense white hair that seemed to be shining naturally fell down and fluttered on his body.
Bai Yu lowered his eyes and thought seriously.
From a rational point of view, if he wants to live on land for a long time, it is of course more convenient to use his legs.
But Bai Yu, who had already gotten used to his identity as a mermaid, liked his pretty tail quite a bit.
and……
Bai Yu knew intuitively that as a mermaid, it is impossible for him to stay out of the water for a long time, let alone "hidden" his tail all the time.
Compared with the legs, the state of the tail made him feel more at ease.
Bai Yu thought and thought...
After thinking for a long time, Bai Yu sighed slightly.
Replied like this: "Can't you like them all?"
Bai Yu knew that there was some willfulness in his answer.
And as far as his fish design in front of Ji Peilin is concerned, he probably wouldn't have thought of such complicated things.
It seems like he is simply puzzled, why can't he like them all?
Bai Yu thought that Ji Peilin would analyze and reason with him in a more...gentle way?
Bai Yu didn't want to embarrass Ji Peilin either.
After all, if you want to live on land for a long time, this issue is really important.
But what he didn't expect at all was that after a short silence, Ji Peilin would smile and say, "Yes."
sure.
A completely unexpected answer.
Bai Yu looked up at Ji Peilin in surprise.
But only saw a gentle smile in Ji Peilin's eyes.
This is really his answer after careful consideration.
Bai Yu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was Ji Peilin who asked this question, picked up the comb at hand, rolled up the remaining strand of hair, and began to comb it slowly.
It was as if he had really just asked a very common question.
Bai Yu: "..."
Bai Yu had a lot to say.
But seeing Ji Peilin's appearance, Bai Yu swallowed everything he wanted to say.
By the way, after Ji Peilin combed the long hair in his hand, he took the initiative to change another strand and let Ji Peilin continue to comb it for him.
No way, when wake up, not only the tail becomes a leg, but also the hair grows longer.
Bai Yu really wanted to cut his hair short, but Ji Peilin was reluctant, and took care of Bai Yu's hair more and more attentively.
Because Ji Peilin helped him take care of it, Bai Yu didn't think the hair was too troublesome.
It's just that I don't feel it when I'm in the water. After leaving the water, the long hair on this head is really heavy.
The process of combing hair is not fast, and it even feels enjoyable.
After combing Bai Yu's long hair, Ji Peilin finally thought of something.
"If Xiaoyu had a name for himself, what would it be?"
"...Aren't I a little fish?"
"This is the name I gave Xiaoyu, but what name does Xiaoyu want to be called?"
Bai Yu curled his lips, "What's your name Bai Yu? Does it sound good?"
"whitefish?"
Ji Peilin glanced at Bai Yu's pure white body, and laughed softly.
When he was with Bai Yu, Ji Peilin's face was much more vivid than usual.
"It sounds good." Ji Peilin said with a smile, "I will take good care of Xiaoyu."
...
Under Ji Peilin's care and arrangement, Bai Yu was still working hard to cook and replenish energy.
It was just an agreement with Ji Peilin not to change her legs and tail in front of others.
In addition to this there are some other considerations.
But overall, it is much, much looser than the "restrictions" Bai Yu imagined.
And Bai Yu could see that Ji Peilin worked very hard to create a "free" environment for him.
On the other side, where Bai Yu didn't notice, in the private communication and speculation of the hunks in suits, something happened to him.
Yes, the men in suits guessed that something happened to the mermaid raised by their boss Ji Peilin.
The situation of the mermaid is basically clear to everyone.
Been febrile and lethargic.
Mr. Ji hired so many mermaid doctors, but he was helpless.
All the mermaid doctors have no way to find out the cause, let alone effective treatment.
I thought that no matter how much Mr. Ji cared about the mermaid, he would be like that. After all, he is a rich and powerful person...
But who would have thought that Mr. Ji ran to this place because of the mermaid, and would still hold the mermaid in the sea every day.
The mermaid didn't get better, and Mr. Ji himself was about to fall ill.
As a result, the problem has become more serious these days.
Mr. Ji no longer carried the mermaid to soak in sea water.
The personnel arrangement on the entire island was changed, and there were also personnel transfers.
Ji himself is looking from bad to worse.
I don't know who brought it up first, guess if something happened to the mermaid?
After all, mermaids are such a fragile existence.
After this guess came out, combined with Mr. Ji's various behaviors and states to speculate, everyone became more and more sure that the mermaid was gone.
That is when such speculation was confirmed by almost everyone.
Another breaking news came out.
"Because Mr. Ji couldn't accept the fact that the mermaid left, he found a human as the mermaid's substitute!"
As soon as this news appeared, it was spread among the entire group of hunks in suits.
I heard that Mr. Ji did lose the mermaid.
I heard that Mr. Ji was in great pain.
It is said that Mr. Ji left the island alone, remembering the mermaid in the sea.
I heard that Mr. Ji met a boy with long white hair and brought him back.
I heard that the boy's long white hair is very similar to a mermaid, and even his eyebrows and eyes have the shadow of a dead mermaid.
All of the above are heard.
Bai Yu became his "substitute" in such "heard".
