Chapter 140 Mermaid’s Tears (Part 1)
The figure on the seashore moved slightly. After hearing Yu Zhizhi’s voice, Yousen turned around. His ice-blue eyes in the darkness were as calm as a deep pool.
Yu Zhizhi's steps were shallow and deep, and she waded across the beach to the young man.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "You are here, looking at the sea."
It's good that he's here.
He didn't disappear suddenly, he was just a person, quietly watching the coastline.
No one knows what the mermaid is thinking.
Yousen looked at her silently.
【...have you chosen? 】
She has been very worried these days. There was a tacit understanding between everyone, and no one mentioned anything about the future.
Yu Zhizhi turned sideways and looked at Lewis.
The young man handed her the bamboo basket in his hand. He smiled and took a few steps back. Leave this short alone time to them.
Yu Zhizhi held the bamboo basket, her eyes twinkling slightly in the night.
"I...I gave birth to a baby."
She was still a little shy, so she lifted the scarf covering the bamboo basket and showed Yousen the ice-blue egg.
Yousen looked at the bamboo basket blankly, his heart beating so powerfully that it was deafening.
In the distance, someone lit the fireworks.
Brilliant blooms bloomed in the night sky, falling like stars. Their figures also flickered in and out of view under the reflection of the fireworks.
These days, he has thought about a lot...
Maybe the little rabbit has been lying to himself.
She didn't want the mermaid cub at all.
Even when she was pregnant, she was just teasing him...
Or maybe, all she wants is the mermaid cub. After she got pregnant, she no longer needed him.
Yousen saw the aqua-blue egg in the bamboo basket. His outstretched fingers trembled slightly and gently touched the surface of the eggshell, which was refreshing and cool.
"……mine?"
His voice was slightly hoarse, "Ours?"
When the little rabbit gave birth to a cub, she immediately came to the beach to find him.
Could it be——
A possibility suddenly popped up in Yousen's heart. He quickly raised his head and stared into Yu Zhizhi's eyes, with the light of hope dancing in them.
His heart almost jumped into his throat——
"Have you made a decision? Do you want to...come with me?"
Yu Zhizhi was stunned. She didn't dare to look at the mermaid's fiery gaze. She turned her head away and felt a sore nose.
The conversation with Yuesheng Imperial Master that night kept echoing in his ears.
She didn't dare to gamble with Yousen's life.
She was afraid that the scene in her nightmare would really come true.
Seeing the little rabbit's evasive gaze, the light that had just been ignited in Yousen's eyes extinguished little by little.
Bitterness spread in his heart, and the sea breeze blew the broken hair on his forehead. He grabbed the little female's wrist and asked, "...are you being threatened?"
We obviously agreed to go together, why did we go back on our word?
Was he being coerced?
In Yosen's eyes, murderous intent suddenly arose.
Yu Zhizhi was shocked and looked at him quickly, "No, no..."
The bloody ocean flashed back in my mind.
Yu Zhizhi was afraid that Yousen would act impulsively and do something drastic.
In the Moonrise Empire, they already hate mermaids——
Because of the little princess.
Yu Zhizhi didn't want to put him in danger.
She took a deep breath, "No one threatens me."
"..."
The last bit may be shattered.
Yousen's face was pale, his thin lips pressed tightly, and he held her wrist slightly harder. He didn't let go until the corners of Yu Zhizhi's eyes turned red due to the pain.
At that moment, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
Here she comes.
A mermaid cub was delivered.
Then what……?
Yousen realized that she came to say goodbye.
He was like a withered tree, standing quietly in the wind, his eyes dim and dull.
Yu Zhizhi's throat was dry. She hugged the bamboo basket tightly, resisting the urge to cry, and murmured: "I...I can't leave with you..." The girl's voice was blurred in the sea breeze.
Yossen seemed to hear nothing.
He lowered his eyes and didn't move for a while.
...Ah, it’s a breakup.
This is what she came here for.
Yossen thought of the locker room that night. Outside the door, he heard the moans of the little female, soft and delicate.
so……
Is this her decision?
At the last moment, Duke Bolan was chosen.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yossen's face, like a fish that was stranded on the beach and in desperate need of oxygen. He trembled every word: "I'll ask you one last time."
Yu Zhizhi felt his heavy gaze and her shoulders trembled slightly.
"——Will you follow me or not?"
Hearing the mermaid's question, Yu Zhizhi's eyes were filled with tears. She stuffed the bamboo basket into his arms and opened her mouth. She was speechless and could cry.
She shook her head slightly.
"Haha." Yousen smiled.
He took the bamboo basket, with a strange expression on his face, "I understand. Thank you for coming here to see me off."
His tone has become extremely distant.
Like meeting for the first time.
He was also locked in a transparent water tank, surrounded by light blue water, like a beautiful painting.
Yu Zhizhi handed the mermaid cub to him.
She folded her hands in front of her, and at the last moment, she didn't dare to raise her head to look into his eyes, fearing that she would burst into tears.
"Sensen, have a nice journey." She said goodbye slightly and offered him her most sincere blessings.
We must return to the deep sea safely.
Yousen said a faint "Yeah", holding the bamboo basket in one hand, looking at her indifferently, and when he saw her turning around, his world suddenly collapsed.
again……
Abandoned.
Where Yu Zhizhi couldn't see him, in the dark night, Yousen's eyes instantly turned red.
Don't go...
Don't leave me...
If there's something I didn't do well, I'll change it...
I won't get angry casually anymore, okay?
Don't leave me...
His blurred vision stared at the girl's leaving back, tears welling up in his eyes. He refused to cry, just like his straight back, never bending down.
For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind -
If he kneels down to beg her, will she relent?
However, the pride of being a mermaid made him turn around, clutching the bamboo basket tightly, his trembling back reflected in the moon on the sea, the dark clouds gradually blocked the moonlight, the heavy and gloomy sea, especially Mori stood on the beach, his shoulders shaking obviously.
The boy's suppressed cries were covered up by the sea breeze...
…
Yu Zhizhi walked along the beach towards the mansion. When she was about to walk out of the sticky area, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
The tears that were just pooling in her eyes suddenly burst out. Her hands were pressed into the sand, which was sticky, and she raised the back of her hands to wipe them away.
Louis watched silently.
He knelt down and handed her a clean handkerchief.
Yu Zhizhi held the handkerchief and wiped away her tears. She stood up and did not dare to look back, even though she was already far away from the sea.
She cried all the way back to the mansion.
"Louis..." After passing the garden, she stopped and asked in a trembling voice: "Will they regret it?"
"No." Louis said firmly. He knew that Little Rabbit needed a definite answer now. "Li Yuan will do what he says. He will definitely do what he promised."
"Don't worry, have a good sleep. Yossen will have left the Moonrise Empire by tomorrow."
"The mermaid returns to the sea. He has no natural enemies."
Yu Zhizhi stood in the garden and couldn't stop crying when she thought of Yousen's hurt expression. Her rabbit ears drooped and her shoulders shook slightly, "I'm not good... I'm not good..."
