The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Chapter 54 When We Walk Upright Ep1

Regarding time, it seems that no one can tell the exact feeling. Every day is spent in one way or another, it seems nothing special, so ordinary, but if you stop by chance one day, and then look back, you may be surprised to find , In the blink of an eye, such a long time has passed.

For Lei Boding, he knows a lot of words about the passage of time, such as the passing of time, such as time flies, many times, such words are just a word to him, but occasionally, looking back at the time he walked For those roads, he will feel that such words bring him much more feelings than the simple meaning of words.

In the past ten years, starting a family and starting a business, the two goals that most Chinese people strive for in their lives, have been well realized by him. Lei Boding, who has changed his mentality with the passage of time, has reached middle age He is no longer obsessed with being a workaholic, he is willing to spend more time watching his children with Derby grow up little by little, and he is willing to stay with Derby more than doing business, even if it is just to watch him weave Silk yarn, taking care of the room.

Lei Boting, whose life is so ordinary, was even teased by Ralph and Ivor that he had become a house man, and Lei Boting accepted it very calmly-no matter what others say, he will only change if he obeys his own heart. have fun, don't you?

Lei Boding, who lived in such a house, naturally took on the task of cleaning up the room. From the room, he would occasionally find some small things that Mandel played with in his childhood, and then feel the passage of time again.

But today, Lei Boting found a shell from a corner that he didn't know. After searching the memory in his mind, he had no memory of this shell. He opened the shell with doubts, and then saw that He raised his eyebrows after reading the note in a shell.

And Derby, who had been knitting gauze in the living room and listening to Lei Boding tidy up the room, also stopped his movements when the bedroom was quiet. He said, "Ray, what are you doing?"

Reberdine replied quickly, "It's nothing, honey, I'm just tidying up the bedroom."

"Then why is there no sound suddenly? Is there something uncomfortable?" Derby frowned slightly, with a worried expression.

Although Lei Boding is now approaching middle age, sometimes the active adventure factor in his bones has not faded because of his age. Two days ago, he secretly went to the Sharks with Derby and Ive on his back.The so-called shark race is that the mermaids each find a shark and then use a rope woven from seaweed to put it on the shark and urge them to move forward at full speed to see who is faster.It's obviously a dangerous activity, but one that makes merfolk males who are born adventurers want to do it.Lei Boding was no exception, and even pulled Ivor to do it, but in the second half of the race, Lei Boting broke the rope due to an oversight, and finally he also hatedly pretended to be with the oncoming sea turtle. In a ball, his head was dizzy for several days, for which Derby had a cold war with him for the first time.But Derby is Derby after all. Although he was angry because of Lei Boting's dishonesty, he still cared about Lei Boting's body deep in his heart. Although Nathaniel showed him that Lei Boting was fine, Derby still Worried about the sequelae of Lei Boding, so if there is something wrong with Lei Boding during this period, his heart will be raised high.

Of course, Lei Boding could hear the worry in Derby's tone. He felt quite guilty about Derby's sadness caused by his unreliable behavior last time. He quickly packed up the shells in his hand and swam out. He hugged Derby from behind, "Honey, I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't worry."

"Really?" Derby turned around and stroked Lei Boding's face, and asked.

"Really." Lei Boding pressed Derby's hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm strong enough to stun ten sharks in one go—" Lei Boting suddenly stopped at this point, and he When he met Derby's eyes, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. After a moment of stunned, he smiled coyly, raised his other empty hand and swore, "I will never do such a dangerous thing again, really."

Seeing that Derby just sighed and did not speak, Lei Boting began to change the subject, "Hey, Bibi, how about we go to live on shore for a few days?"

"Go ashore for a few days?" Derby didn't realize why Lei Boding suddenly said this.

"Yes, go to the shore for two days." Lei Boting put his arms around Derby again and sat down beside him. "That stinky boy Mandel has already married and still runs to our place every three days. How disgusting!"

Seeing Lei Boding's frown, Derby burst out laughing, "Ray, that's your son."

"Oh, of course he is my son." Lei Boding nodded clearly, "But, as a male mermaid who has grown up, married, and has become a father, he shouldn't devote more energy to To his family? Why are you rubbing against his daddy like a little mermaid who hasn't grown up?"

Derby looked helpless, "He just hasn't gotten used to this change of role for a while."

"Oh, is it because he is not used to this change of role that he will let his father just watch his partner and his son love each other every day without getting any attention and care?" Lei Burtin looked upset.

Derby looked at Lei Boting, who was so old and jealous of his son, completely lost his mind. He knew that Lei Boting also loved Mandel, but Mandel's dependence on him made Lei Boting very unhappy. With the two people he loves most in this life, Derby always has no way to balance well, so he can only follow the principle of proximity and stop discussing this topic with Lei Boting, "Well, I also think that Mandel needs real meaning The Shangdi Society has grown up, so I will listen to you and go to live on the shore for a few days."

"Really?" Lei Boding raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Derby expressed affirmation.

"Great, I'm going to pack my things!" Lei Boding is a fast-paced action man. When Derby nodded, he immediately stood up and patted his tail fins and went to the bedroom, muttering, "Leave a note to Mandel when the time comes." We're on a long trip, let this brat stop harassing his daddy and daddy!"

Listening to Lei Boding's childish words, Derby smiled wryly and shook his head.

It’s about packing things, but after so many years, Derby has almost remodeled that special house on the shore, which has become their second home, so Lei Boting only collected some essentials. Things pulled Derby out, but before going ashore, Lei Boding took Derby to Nathaniel's place.

If there is anyone or anything that cannot see the traces of time, it is only Nathaniel. His home has been deserted and terrifying for decades, and his temper has been weird and withdrawn for decades. , and Derby, even though he has known each other for so many years, he is still a little afraid of Nathaniel.Therefore, even when he arrived at Nathaniel's house, Derby wisely found a place to enjoy the scenery, leaving Lei Boding and Nathaniel to mutter.

"Hey, old friend, is this thing any good at all?"

"...It seems that I gave it to you when you and Derby became partners, right?"

"Yes, but I was too busy at that time to pay attention to this thing. I found it again today."

"You never used it once?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would you ask me, is it really useful?"

"Of course!"

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I used it, idiot!"

"Have you used it? You've been to Lu——hmm..."

"What's your name, don't show an ignorant stupid mermaid expression!"

"Huh...Neil, do you want to murder?"

"Oh, my Sea God, you told me not to call me that disgusting name!"

"Okay, please don't be so emotional in every sentence, my heart can't take it."

"That's disgusting from you, every word you say is like a handful of peppers from the land sprinkled in my brain, making me unable to control my emotions, because of your stupidity!"

"Okay, okay, let's not discuss this issue, okay, I have another question, this thing has been around for so many years, won't it fail?"

"Are you questioning the quality of what I gave you?"

"...Well, let's just assume it won't expire, then, if I eat it, it will definitely not have any bad effects, right?"

"Idiot, give me back what I gave you, I'm afraid you will become a stupid fish who only knows how to make holes with its tail vertically every day after eating it!"

"Hey, calm down, calm down... I'll ask about this note again..."

"What did you talk about? Why do you look so happy?" After leaving Nathaniel's house, Derby and Lei Boting swam towards the sea together. On the way, Derby couldn't help but asked with a smile when he saw Lei Boting's unstoppable good mood. road.

"Huh? Do I look happy?" Lei Boding subconsciously touched his face, and then said casually, "That means I'm happy for Neil!"

"Yes, is there any good news about Mr. Nathaniel?" Although he was very afraid of Nathaniel, Derby still cared about this cold-faced and warm-hearted friend.

"Yeah, Neil has finally decided to find a partner to live with." Lei Boting said nonsense.

"Really?" Derby looked surprised and happy for his eccentric friend. "It's very nice of Mr. Nathaniel to have such an idea! I always thought that Mr. Nathaniel should find a Life as a partner, if someone can care and take care of him, I don't think he will look so lonely."

"Oh, of course." Lei Boding took Derby's hand, "Neil will be very touched when he hears you say that."

"So, does he have an ideal object in his heart now..." Derby's attention was completely caught up in the nonsense that Lei Boding, Nathaniel, made up without blinking, and he followed Lei Boting to the sea. While inquiring.

And Lei Boting upholds the unscrupulous spirit of must die in order to maintain mystery and surprises, and begins to talk nonsense, describing for Derby an "iceberg cold-faced man is melted by a gentle, considerate, enthusiastic and energetic female mermaid" The bloody story made Derby sigh from time to time.

And Nathaniel, who was far away in the deep sea, was sneezing one after another without knowing why.

It was just noon when we arrived at the home of Lei Boding and Derby on land. Lei Boding led Derby to open the stone gate and jumped into the pool inside the wall, and then swam around twice comfortably.

In view of the cooperative relationship with Arthur over the years and the fellowship with Kevin He, when Lei Boding and Derby are not living here, Arthur usually takes his own men to come and clean the house, so no matter Lei Boding and Derby When you come, the house is clean and bright.

Derby, who was also used to and liked the bright light under the leadership of Lei Boding, was obviously very happy to return to this house, and swam with Lei Boting with a smile on his face.

After swimming inside and outside the house, Lei Boding approached Derby with a mysterious smile, and took out a shell from the bag, "Honey, I have something interesting to show you... "

"I don't know if the children will make trouble in the main city." At this time, Cheng Chi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen and didn't know the arrival of his friend from the sea, suddenly put down the plate in his hand and muttered.

"With Arthur here, the children won't be naughty." Claude, who was helping at the side, looked at Cheng Chi with a worried look and said comfortingly.

"I hope that's what you said." Cheng Chi withdrew his thoughts of drifting towards the main city, shook his head and said, and then handed the plate in his hand to Claude, "It's good if the little troublemakers go to the main city , I can also relax for two days."

Listening to Cheng Chi's insincere words, Claude smiled and shook his head.

Just as the husband and wife were cleaning the last tableware in a harmonious atmosphere of division of labor, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"It should be Al. He said he has something to do with me this afternoon." Cheng Chi went to scoop up a towel to wipe his hands when he heard the knock on the door, and said to Claude as he walked towards the door of the living room.

But when Cheng Chi went to open the door, the people outside made Cheng Chi stunned, "You..."

Standing outside the door, Lei Boding held Derby's hand and looked at his best friend's eyes widened in surprise and the mouth that was so big that a goose egg could be put down, and smiled brilliantly, "Good afternoon, my friend friend!"
