Although they had only known each other for a short time, he felt that Si Jin's gaze towards him was gentle.

Despite being younger than him, she always exuded a kind of...kindness?

Moreover, there was always a familiar soul aura about Si Jin.

It made him want to hold it tightly in his hands.

Once you've got it, you'll never let go.

After dismissing the guards, Lin Yuan turned and went back into the house.

She lay down next to Si Jin and gently took his hand in hers.

Poor little mermaid, how come she gets so tired after just a little movement?

What if we happen to encounter the dragons' breeding season in the future...?

As I was thinking about it, I started to laugh at myself.

He kissed Si Jin and fell asleep peacefully.

… …

The next morning, I got up and cooked him some porridge before waking him up.

The boy was still a little confused.

Her silver hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders, concealing a few ambiguous red marks.

She leaned against Lin Yuan's chest, letting him feed her porridge spoonful by spoonful.

In a daze, I realized that the bowl in front of me looked somewhat familiar.

He spoke up: "I think I've seen this before in the underwater palace. It's a pearl bowl from the mermaid race."

The original owner was the youngest prince of the Mermaid Kingdom.

In my memory, we always ate from these kinds of bowls.

"Sharp eyes." Lin Yuan replied, "I once saved a mermaid king who had been washed ashore by the waves. Because we were about the same age and were both animals, we became friends."

"This is one of the gifts he gave me for my birthday one year."

"Oh, so you and my father are friends."

Si Jin tilted her head and leaned against her lover's strong arm, nuzzling him affectionately.

It seemed they knew something and were rewarding him.

"Oh? Your father." Lin Yuan seized the opportunity, scooping up a spoonful of porridge and feeding it to Xiao Yu. "Then, since I'm of the same generation as your father, what should you call me?"

Si Jin paused, and then began to think about it carefully.

"Call me Uncle?"

"Call him godfather?"

"Call me uncle..."

After saying this, she looked up, took the initiative to kiss Lin Yuan, and murmured, "Uncle Wei, Uncle Lian."

Lin Yuan couldn't resist and put down the bowl of porridge that was almost empty.

He responded to the little mermaid's unusually proactive kiss.

After the kiss, she bit him as if punishing him, warning him, "You're seducing me again."

"No." Si Jin sat up, relying on the pain shield to sit up.

She originally intended to take off the gold ring on her foot and give one to Lin Yuan.

But then they discovered that several silver scales had grown on his legs.

This is a sign of the mermaid's tail regenerating.

Although it's a good omen, it will indeed look ugly before the tail grows out.

He took off a gold ring, quietly hid his leg under the covers, and then handcuffed the ring to Lin Yuan's wrist.

"This is a concentric ring that every mermaid is born with."

"If you meet someone you love, you can give them away."

Mermaids are a very special creature in the world of fairy tales.

They are different from dragons.

Mermaids cannot leave the sea. After coming ashore, they must be loved and cherished by their true love, otherwise their lifespan will not exceed five years.

Therefore, it has always been revered by the world as a symbol of good fortune and love.

The original owner lost his tail after going ashore and was originally only supposed to live to the fifth year.

But now, they have encountered the evil dragon king.

Sijin's tail, however, showed signs of regrowth.

"A love ring, huh? I've heard it's very important to mermaids." Lin Yuan looked at the small ring and asked the question the guard had asked him last night: "What if I fall in love with someone else in the future? You'll turn into sea foam immediately. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Confirmed." Si Jin turned her eyes, the smile on her lips gradually widening, and her voice was unusually gentle.

"If anything goes wrong in the future, before it turns into bubbles, I'll definitely kill you first, don't worry."
