He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn't dare to make any big moves.

Afraid of scaring away the "mermaid".

Across the sea, the face of the "Mermaid" is very clear.

It's the face of a little girl.

Eyes wide open.

He smiled subconsciously.

The other party was obviously taken aback.

But soon, a big smile appeared on the little girl's face.

The corners of his grinning mouth revealed the teeth inside.

They are teeth with sharp arcs like shark teeth.

The strong contrast between the innocent girl's appearance and the fierce teeth made Zhao Lei's heart skip a beat.

It was his negligence.

"Mermaids" are not necessarily weak and harmless.

His body tensed slightly.

The smile on his face remains unchanged.

...

What was he just about to say?

Then, he froze.

It’s not surprising that “mermaids” have hands.

However, there is obviously such a big fish tail... why are there still legs?

The weird appearance of this "mermaid" made Zhao Lei gasp.

No.

Maybe it's not a "mermaid".

Or is this the difference between Western-style mermaids and Chinese-style mermaids?

Or, the difference between fairy tales and reality?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.

What a mess.

However, he still looked good.

...

"......Hello."

They looked at each other silently for a while, but saw that the other party had no intention of making a sound.

Zhao Lei spoke first.

Then he thought: Can the other party understand human language?

He was a little at a loss.

"...My name is Zhao Lei."

...

"Giggle~"

Zhao Lei's confused expression made "Mermaid" laugh.

The innocent expression made Zhao Lei's previous discomfort due to the other party's weird appearance fade away a lot.

He also laughed.

"Do you understand me?"

"Hello."

While observing the expression of the "mermaid", he slowly squatted down.

Not knowing what to say, he said hello again.

The distance between me and the "Mermaid" has become a little closer.

The "Mermaid" watched his movements and did not run away.

The smile in Zhao Lei's eyes deepened even more.

...

"Do you live here?"

Zhao Lei asked curiously.

"Only you?"

"Where are your parents?"

Looking at the "Mermaid", she still looks like a child, right?

"Are they around too?"

...

Zhao Lei said a lot.

The "mermaid" just tilted her head and looked at him.

Zhao Lei shut up.

He smiled bitterly.

I don't know if the "mermaid" can't understand his words, or if the "mermaid" can't speak.

He shook his head.

The corners of his mouth widened.

"Forget it, don't worry about those problems."

"I didn't expect to meet you this time when I was living on an isolated island..."

Zhao Lei murmured, "Maybe this is an extra encounter God sent me..."

After passing its trials...

If this is really the case, Zhao Lei thinks it is worth it.

...

Zhao Lei talked a lot to the "Mermaid" alone.

It wasn't until he felt the sun was burning fiercely that he looked up and realized that he had missed the sunrise.

I just stopped by to chat with the "mermaid".

Zhao Lei secretly laughed at himself like a child who has never seen the world.

It's obvious that I have already met Hu Zi.

But, it’s a “mermaid”.

Although the "mermaid" in front of him was different from the mermaids in the fairy tale books he read when he was a child.

But it still made him deeply moved.

It feels like a childhood fantasy coming true.

...

"ah!"

Zhao Lei suddenly realized something.

He turned around and saw Huzi throwing a few leaves towards the fire.

He hurriedly said goodbye to the "mermaid".

"I want to go back."

"I was originally in charge of the fire, and Huzi should rest."

He explained subconsciously, "As a result, Huzi was awakened by my loud scream just now."

He was so excited when he first saw the "Mermaid" that he wanted to share his amazing discovery with Huzi.
