Zhao Lei was almost tired of eating wild fruits and grilled fish.
He wants to eat vegetables.
He missed the soft bed even more.
…
"Hey~"
Seemingly sensing Zhao Lei's depression, Xiao Mei touched Zhao Lei's knee that was submerged in the sea.
Zhao Lei smiled.
"I'm fine."
Xiaomei just kept staring at him.
Zhao Lei was finally defeated.
"It's really okay."
"I'm just a little impatient...and a little uneasy."
Xiaomei listened quietly.
"Huzi and I came to this island because of a storm and waves."
"Our ship is broken."
"There's no way to leave."
"Need to wait for rescue from others."
"see it?"
Zhao Lei turned around and pointed at the fire not far away.
"Hey, does that white smoke rise very high?"
Xiaomei raised her head.
I found that the white smoke kept going upwards and even touched the white clouds.
"This way people from far away can see it."
"When they see it, they will come to save us."
Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.
He had thought it would be easy.
As a result...did he underestimate the remoteness of this island?
"This is a universal distress signal for us humans."
Zhao Lei explained.
"It's just that, after so many days, no one has seen the white smoke."
"There will be no one to save us."
"I'm starting to worry."
"We're not going to stay here for a long time, are we?"
Then on the day he was rescued, others thought they had seen a savage.
This kind of imagination is not beautiful at all.
Although Zhao Lei likes adventure, he also likes urban life.
It's best when the two complement each other.
Moreover, if there is no news for too long, his family will be worried.
"...When will anyone see it..."
Zhao Lei murmured.
The long vacation is over.
perhaps......
Was it his editor who first noticed that he couldn't be reached?
He still owes the editor a travelogue.
Thinking of the editor going crazy, Zhao Lei laughed a little unkindly.
But soon, the smile faded from the corners of his eyes and brows.
"Why……"
He let out a long sigh.
…
"Hey~"
Xiao Mei jumped out of the sea.
The long hair falls down like seaweed.
The pink-gold scales exude a quiet but bright halo under the clear moonlight.
It's beyond beautiful.
Zhao Lei subconsciously held his breath and concentrated.
His eyes were dazed.
It's so beautiful.
It's not just beauty.
It’s even more of a sense of illusion.
It further deepens the viewer’s sense of shock.
The viewer is left speechless.
...
"Plop~"
Xiaomei fell into the sea.
The tail flicked flexibly, and soon, the head poked out of the sea water in front of Zhao Lei.
He smiled so sharply that his sharp shark teeth were revealed.
...
A few water droplets splashed on Zhao Lei's face.
Zhao Lei blinked.
He reached out and touched his face, and the sadness between his brows and eyes dissipated a lot.
He smiled.
"Xiaomei is comforting me?"
"Thanks."
"I am okay."
"I just can't help but want to complain."
After all, sometimes people's reason and emotions are always separate.
Reason told him that complaining was useless.
But emotionally, he couldn't let go of his depression.
People are so contradictory.
"But I won't give up."
"I believe I will get out of here."
"It's just a matter of time."
"and......"
The expression on Zhao Lei's face became clearer.
"fine......"
He is not alone on this island.
There is Huzi accompanying him.
"I also got to know you."
Zhao Lei feels that he is lucky.
"I'm very lucky."
He told himself so.
The whole person seemed to have settled down due to this.
No longer as impetuous as before.
...
"Hey~"
Sensing the recovery of Zhao Lei's mood, Xiaomei let out a joyful cry.
The fluorescence on the tail shimmers under the sea surface.
Like another starry sky.
...
"I'm sorry for always complaining to you."
Zhao Lei scratched his hair.
Maybe it was because he knew that the other party couldn't understand what he said that he could speak his mind without any scruples.
But maybe, he also hopes that the other party can understand what he said.
He shook his head amusedly.
You have to ask people not to understand and you have to ask people to understand...
He is also a really troubled person.
...
"Okay, it's almost time."
Zhao Lei stood up.
"Children should go to bed early and get up early for good health."
"Xiaomei, go and rest."
"goodbye."
...
Just like every time before, Zhao Lei turned around.
Xiaomei stared at Zhao Lei's back.
Until Zhao Lei walked to Hu Zi's side.
The gaze behind him disappeared.
Speaking of which, Huzi and Xiaomei are obviously the same kind.
Although he also knows that not all monsters are friendly.
I also understood Huzi’s indifference towards other monsters.
However, Xiaomei is different.
Xiaomei has no ill intentions towards him.
They became very good friends.
If possible, he hoped that Huzi and Xiaomei could get along well with each other.
Imagination is wonderful.
Apparently...
Neither Huzi nor Xiaomei had such thoughts.
They almost treat each other as if they don't exist.
...
Zhao Lei felt strange and a little funny about this.
But after mentioning it to Huzi and Huzi just gave him a roll of the eyes, he no longer interfered with the strange relationship between the two monsters, which was almost disgusting with each other.
...
After lying down, Zhao Lei thought he would not be able to sleep.
But as a result, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, he opened his eyes in a daze, feeling a little dazed.
Then he sighed funnyly.
He is also really very nervous.
...
This is pretty good too.
Zhao Lei stood up.
Stretched a lot.
"Huzi, please rest."
In view of Hu Zi's behavior of always not waking him up, he changed his and Hu Zi's schedule.
He is on duty at midnight.
The tiger kept watch for the rest of the night.
...
After Zhao Lei added a few leaves to the fire, he turned and walked towards the seaside.
In the past few days, every morning he would go to the beach to say hello to Xiaomei.
Then chat briefly.
After all, he still had to watch the fire.
But when he changes shift with Huzi, he can play with Xiaomei.
...
Um?
Zhao Lei was stunned.
In the past few days, he could see Xiaomei as soon as he walked to the beach.
today......
He lowered his head and looked around.
Haven't you come yet?
Or somewhere else?
...
At first, he didn't care.
Xiaomei's child's character may have been attracted by something, and she might be late.
However, after he walked a long distance along the coastline and still didn't find Xiaomei, the relief on his face faded away.
His brows slowly furrowed.
Not a short time has passed.
Xiaomei hasn't come yet...
Did you get stuck by something?
Or... are you in trouble?
The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more worried he became.
...
no no.
Xiaomei is a "mermaid"!
Ordinary creatures will not be its opponents.
Although Xiaomei's face looks soft and weak, it can be seen from Xiaomei's shark teeth that Xiaomei is not as harmless and weak as she appears.
Whoever underestimated Xiaomei will have to pay the price.
