The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Chapter 17

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Lei Boding was a little dizzy.

Derby still had that worried expression, and pointed a few times in front of Lei Boding, "Here, here, and here, Lei Boting, where have you been?"

Following the direction of Derby's finger, Lei Boting discovered that there were some small cuts on his upper body, and even a few scales on his tail were missing. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know how embarrassed he looked now , which made him want to rub his forehead a little bit - he was too excited to ignore these just now.

Lei Boting did not forget Derby standing in front of him, he quickly collected his mood and smiled at Derby, "Maybe, you can let me go in and talk to you?"

Lei Boting's smile didn't make Derby relax much, he just turned his body sideways to let Lei Boting in, "Of course, please come in."

Swimming into Derby's house, Lei Boding pretended to turn around and said to Derby, "I went fishing."

Derby nodded, "Then...why do you catch fish like this?"

Lei Boding didn't answer this time, but just opened the bag made of seaweed, "This is my trophy."

Derby glanced at the bag full of swim bladders and maws, his eyes widened, and then exclaimed, "My god of the sea..." He suddenly swam in front of Lei Boting, "You, what are you doing? Where did you go fishing? Did you go to the forbidden sea again? Are you alone? This fish is too big, it is too dangerous, how can you swim there alone again? Are you injured anywhere else? I My Sea God, I really, really..."

Seeing Derby's incoherent speech, Lei Boting actually felt a little secret joy in his heart. He stepped forward and held Derby's shoulders, "Hey, Derby, listen to me, can you listen to me?" When Derby calmed down a little, Lei Boting Tingcai continued, "I didn't go fishing alone, and I didn't go to the Forbidden Sea. It was just an accident, just an accident..."

The narration time was not long, and Lei Boding even concealed those thrilling moments. After the last sentence, Lei Boting showed a relaxed expression, "So, that's the way it is, don't worry, I'm not doing well right now. appear before you?"

Derby, who is always shy, didn't notice that Lei Boding's words were so ambiguous at this time. His frown didn't relax much, and he just turned around without saying a word and went to the storage compartment to get something. Swimming in front of Lei Boding again, "Sit down."

Lei Boting looked at the familiar shell in Derby's hand, and was taken aback for a moment, "Derby..."

"Sit down." Derby still used these two words.

Lei Boding finally found out that Derby's mood was not right. He didn't speak any more, but obediently swam to the place Derby pointed and sat down, then watched Derby open the shell silently, and then dipped some ointment from the inside with his fingers and lightly He wiped it on the wound on his back that he didn't even notice.

Once, twice, three times, only the sound of Lei Boting and Derby's soft breathing was left in the room. This made Lei Boting a little uncomfortable with the quiet and over-the-top atmosphere. He opened his mouth and finally whispered softly. Opened his mouth, "Derby?"

After a while, there was a calm voice from behind Lei Boding, "Huh?"

"Are you angry?" Lei Boding carefully asked his own question.

This time the waiting time for the answer was longer than before, but the tone of voice still remained unchanged, "No, I'm not angry."

Derby's answer made Lei Boding unable to continue asking, so he could only relax his shoulders, "Okay." Then he fell silent.

Lei Boding's reaction made Derby's hands applying the ointment pause almost imperceptibly, and then continued with the work just now, but Derby's mouth was already tightly pursed.

Derby didn't know how to tell Lei Boding, yes, he was angry, very angry, angry why he would take such a risky behavior when he encountered such a dangerous thing, why didn't he return to the territory of the mermaid Instead of asking for help, I went to solve it alone with Ralph and Ivor.Lei Boding simply talked about the thrilling moment just now, but Derby also knew how much Lei Boting had hidden from him.Such Lei Boding made him very angry.However, thinking of this, Derby's eyes flashed with sadness. What kind of identity and position should he use to get angry with Lei Boting?

The more he thought about it, the darker the eyes in Derby's eyes became. He silently treated the last wound on Lei Boding's back, and then gently closed the shell, "It's done."

"Huh? Okay? Oh." The fight with the big fish just now consumed too much of Lei Boting's physical strength, and Derby's action of applying the medicine was so gentle that it almost made Lei Boting want to doze off. It was only when Lei Boding got up and left to put the shells away that he reacted slowly, "Thank you, Derby."

Derby glanced at Lei Boding, who was smiling brightly, feeling a little depressed, and pointed to the things on the ground with his finger, "You got these at the risk, don't give them to me, take them back."

"Why, you hate this?" Lei Boting looked at Derby with a calm expression, and asked.

"It's too precious." Derby looked at Lei Boding and said seriously.

"Hey, what is expensive or not, isn't it all for food!" Lei Boting didn't know what happened to Derby, but he subconsciously accommodated and comforted Derby, "I, Ralph, Ivor and the others caught Big fish, this makes me happy, because it's the best proof of my ability. And this joy, I want to share with my friends, Raph, Ivor, and you. I want you to share with me Is there anything wrong with this joy, sharing these spoils?"

Looking into Lei Boding's sincere eyes, Derby couldn't say a word of rejection, "No...I, I just..."

Lei Boting stepped forward and patted Derby on the shoulder, "Really, I know that you care about me and worry about me, I know it all. If you change places with me, I will also worry about you. You promise, next time, I will be more careful and never do any reckless behavior, okay?"

This kind of promise made Derby forget to speak for a while. On the one hand, he knew that Lei Boding didn't have to promise him anything, and on the other hand, he couldn't deny that he felt a lot more comfortable after hearing these promises. In the end, Derby just bowed his head, " I really can't eat so much by myself, you can take some back."

The softening of Derby's attitude indicated that the matter just now came to an end. Lei Boting secretly heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, then I will take some back." What Buddha said, so he said to Derby, "By the way, Ralph and Ivor are going to rehearse some plays, do you want to come and see?"

"Drama? What is that?" Derby hadn't gotten used to the frequency with which Lei Boding suddenly jumped to other topics, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Drama is balabala..." Lei Boting explained, and then looked at Derby with full expectation, "Come tomorrow if you have nothing to do, it's very interesting."

Listening to Lei Boding briefly telling the outline of the story, Derby was a little moved, but when he thought of Ralph and Ivor, who he didn't know very well, he hesitated, "That..."

Seeing that Derby wanted to refuse, Lei Boding said again, "If you come, you can make some sea sweet leaf tea for us to drink. To be honest, I brought some back from you last time, but I couldn't get it no matter what. It doesn't smell like you, Ralph and Ivor say I'm bragging. How about going to prove my innocence tomorrow, Mr. Derby?"

Lei Boding's frowning made Derby amused again, and he nodded with a slight smile, "Okay, I'll go over tomorrow after finishing my work."

Lei Boding made an exaggerated look of surprise, "Wow, that's amazing, I dare say, Ralph and Ivor will love the tea made from Shanghai sweet leaves as much as I do."

Derby's face turned red because of Lei Boding's words, "Actually, it's nothing..." In order to hide his shyness, Derby changed the subject, "Are you rehearsing with Raph just to show yourself?"

"Of course not," Lei Boting shook his head, "Rehearse first, and show everyone after the rehearsal. It's interesting to participate together!"

"Wow..." Derby thought about how the mermaids gathered together to watch Ralph's performance, and couldn't help showing a look of amazement on his face, "There must be a lot of mermaids watching."

"Of course." Lei Boding raised his head nervously, "We're going to start in Mermaid World!" After speaking, he bumped Derby's shoulder, "So how about you as our logistics?"

"Logistics, what is that for?" I was a little excited when I heard that I could also participate in the derby, but then I was a little nervous, "Am I going to perform on stage too?"

"No, no, no." Lei Boting, who already knew Derby's timid character, shook his head and said, "You only need to be in charge of our tea supply, and then point out our shortcomings when we rehearse the play, this is a very important task." Important task."

As soon as he heard that the task was important, Derby became nervous now, "What if I, I mess up?"

"No, I absolutely trust you." Lei Boting gave Derby a big peace of mind, "You also have to have confidence in yourself, although it is very important, it is much better than weaving gauze. You can weave gauze You are so good, what is this matter, I am optimistic about you."

"Okay, okay." Derby didn't understand the humor in Lei Boding's last sentence, but nodded cautiously after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "I will definitely do a good job."

Seeing Derby's serious expression, Lei Boding nodded with a suppressed smile, "Well, then it's settled."

Derby is another important point.
