Chapter 67: After Abandoning the Innocent Mermaid 5 “Fuwei, Fuwei, you like…
"woke up?"
As soon as Fu Wei opened her eyes, Gu Ling noticed it immediately, and quickly helped her up from the bed and put a soft pillow under her waist.
Fu Wei had a terrible headache, his throat was burning, and his whole body felt like it was broken and was in severe pain.
His eyes were misty and he could hardly open them. He rubbed them subconsciously and finally saw clearly, but he rubbed the corners of his eyes red.
"Stop rubbing it, you'll be able to see it soon." Gu Ling held Fu Wei's hand and said with a frown.
Fu Wei nodded, and Gu Ling went to pour water for Fu Wei.
The warm water rolled over his throat, and Fu Wei finally felt his throat feel much better. He subconsciously looked around, but there was no sign of the mermaid. He asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where's Neptune?"
Gu Ling paused: "That mermaid?"
"Um."
Gu Ling was furious at the thought of the mermaid, but he didn't dare say anything. He could only whisper, "You've finally gotten better. Why torture yourself like this for a mermaid? Fu Wei, I'll help you. Let's put the mermaid aside for now and take care of yourself first, okay?"
Fu Wei placed the cup on the table with a "pop" and looked at him quietly, with no emotion in her eyes.
"I know my body well. You don't have to do this."
Gu Ling knew that Fu Wei was angry and didn't want to talk to him.
"I'm sorry." Gu Ling said after a while.
Fu Wei lowered his brows and said nothing.
The room was extremely quiet. The sunlight shone through the glass, and upon them, it was a layer of coldness and a deep barrier.
Fu Wei: "How is Neptune?"
Gu Ling replied: "He's fine. He has successfully transformed into a human form. He wanted to come see you, but walking is not very convenient for him. He is practicing walking in the next room."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wei's eyes showed a rare tenderness. Maybe he should go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Fu Wei lifted the quilt and planned to take a look.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Gu Ling quickly stopped Fu Wei and was startled.
Fu Wei: "I'll go see him."
Gu Ling opened his lips, looking somewhat sad: "Your Highness, do you like that mermaid very much?"
Fu Wei looked down at him: "Yes."
No one would dislike a mermaid who is devoted to him wholeheartedly. Neptune's sincerity, trust and dependence on him are something Fu Wei has never experienced before.
All he had ever experienced was betrayal and abandonment from his closest relatives. Mermaids were extremely precious to him.
Gu Ling's eyes turned red. He squatted down, tilted his head back, and asked, "But Fu Wei, didn't you say last time that I was the most important person to you, and the mermaid was just a tool to be used?"
Looking at Gu Ling in front of him, Fu Wei curled his lips and smiled, and lifted Gu Ling's chin frivolously with his pale and cold fingers. His voice was filled with a faint smile, like a gorgeous rose in full bloom. Gu Ling's cheeks turned red instantly, with a shy look that made him feel helpless.
"I lied to you, Brother Aling." Fu Wei said.
Maybe it was true at the beginning, but his brother Aling abandoned him.
Once unfaithful, never again.
I just said this to coax Gu Ling, but I didn't expect that he actually believed it.
Gu Ling was stunned, his pupils constricted, and he stared at Fu Wei in a daze.
Fu Wei still smiled sweetly: "Will Brother A Ling blame me?"
Gu Ling pursed his lips, speechless.
Fu Wei let go of Gu Ling's chin, casually pulled out a tissue beside him, and slowly wiped his hands. A cold look appeared in his eyes, but his smile remained. He said, "Brother Aling is silent, is it because he is blaming me? Is Brother Aling going to abandon me and forsake me like he did before?"
It was like a fish that was firmly pinned to the land. No matter how Gu Ling shook his head and wiggled his tail, he couldn't move at all. His heart was wailing and trembling.
How could he abandon Fu Wei?
How dare he question Fu Wei?
How dare he abandon Fu Wei?
It was my fault that I didn't want to support Wei first.
Many years have passed since what happened, and Gu Ling still regrets it. If he had been braver at the time, what would have happened even if he had been locked up in the solitary confinement room with Fu Wei?
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Gu Ling had long lost the qualifications to blame Fu Wei.
Gu Ling lowered his head: "I will never abandon you again, never."
Fu Wei sat on the bed, gently swinging her feet, without answering, not knowing whether she believed it or not.
Gu Ling half-knelt down, held Fu Wei's white ankle, and silently put on soft slippers for him. Then he took out a white coat from the wardrobe on the side and put it on Fu Wei's shoulders.
"I'll take you to see him."
Fu Wei chuckled softly and watched Gu Ling busying around slowly. When everything was ready, Fu Wei said as if giving alms, "Brother Aling is so good to me. Brother Aling, please always treat me like this in the future. I will always like Brother Aling."
Even though Fu Wei had clearly told him that he was lying, Gu Ling still couldn't help it. It was like he had taken an addictive poison. Even though he knew that he would soon be poisoned to the point of being torn to pieces and his skin and bones broken, he was still willing to accept it.
So Gu Ling smiled and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Fu Wei opened her arms and tilted her head to look at Gu Ling, just like the obedient glutinous rice dumpling many years ago.
"Brother Aling, hug——"
Gu Ling walked forward and gave Fu Wei a gentle hug.
He hugged Fu Wei very tightly, as if it was a treasure that had been lost and found again, or as if he was holding countless steel knives that were piercing his body and lungs, causing the blood to flow so much that his arms and whole body were shaking.
What a heartwarming scene, it’s a pity that Gu Ling can’t see Fu Wei’s face.
That pretty face was full of disgust and ridicule, as if possessed by something disgusting.
"Fuwei, give me a chance to make it up to you, okay? I can do anything you want, even at the cost of my life."
This might be what Fu Wei wanted most when he was young, but unfortunately Fu Wei doesn't want it anymore. Even if Gu Ling takes out his heart and gives it to him, he will only feel disgusted.
But Gu Ling is still useful, and he doesn't mind treating him like a dog and keeping him well by his side.
So Fu Wei replied, "Okay."
…
Every step he took felt like walking on the edge of a knife. In places he couldn't see, it felt like countless needles were piercing his skin, bones, and blood, trying to cut him apart.
The mermaid fell down again and again, stood up again and again, then fell down again, and stood up again. Her arms and legs were bruised, and blood was oozing from some parts of her body. The mermaid's face was pale.
It hurts a lot.
It hurts a lot.
But even so, the mermaid still walked step by step holding the railing.
He had to learn to walk as soon as possible because he wanted to see Fu Wei. Fu Wei was sick and could only go to see him if she learned to walk.
The mermaid lowered his head, thinking confusedly, until he lost consciousness, his legs went weak, and he was about to fall down again.
Just as Neptune subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for the pain, what came first was a soft and warm embrace.
Neptune was held tightly in someone's arms.
Neptune's eyelashes trembled as he stared blankly at the person who caught him. Light blossomed in his eyes like a blooming flower. The mermaid hugged Fu Wei and exclaimed in surprise, "Fu Wei!"
Fu Wei soothed Neptune's emotions, a gentle smile hanging on the corner of her lips that he didn't even notice. He nodded: "Yes, I'm here."
The mermaid clutched Fu Wei's clothes pitifully, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Fu Wei, if it weren't for me you wouldn't be sick. Fu Wei, your face is so pale, are you still not well?"
Fu Wei rubbed the mermaid's head and suddenly found that Neptune, who had turned into a human, was even taller than him. The muscles on his arms were thriving and his chest was broad, like a thick iron plate. It would be more accurate to say that the mermaid was holding him in her arms rather than saying that Fu Wei was hugging him.
"It will be fine soon, don't worry too much." Fu Wei said.
Neptune lowered her eyebrows and was still very sad. Fu Wei patiently coaxed the mermaid for a long time, and the mermaid finally smiled happily.
Helping the mermaid sit on the sofa in the recovery room, Fu Wei asked someone to bring a medical kit and personally applied medicine to the mermaid.
Gu Ling saw all of this, and the flames of jealousy almost burned him to death. He wished he could throw the mermaid out so that he could no longer stand between him and Fu Wei.
But as Fu Wei's sharp eyes swept over him, Gu Ling woke up instantly.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
How could this mermaid be standing between him and Fu Wei? It was the same mermaid from the solitary confinement room that he could never escape from when he was a child.
It was he who abandoned Fu Wei with his own hands.
Gu Ling turned and left.
In the house.
"Fuwei, what are you looking at?"
The mermaid ate the small cake that Fuwei gave him, and came to Fuwei to look at the information on the computer with him. However, he could understand human speech but could not understand the symbols.
"Do you understand?" Fu Wei asked him.
The mermaid shook her head honestly and smiled, "I don't understand."
Fu Wei: "It's okay. As soon as you learn to walk, I will send you to school. You will learn it. This is our language."
The mermaid had no idea what school was all about, but Fu Wei knew what he was doing was right, so he nodded, "Okay."
The mermaid in front of him was well-behaved and sensible, and her heart and eyes were full of herself. This was the first time Fu Wei truly relied on and trusted someone else, so her emotions were very complicated since she woke up.
"Why did you drink that potion?"
Neptune said as a matter of course: "Because I want to stay by your side."
Fu Wei: "You can stay by my side even if you don't drink."
Neptune shook his head. "It's different. If I didn't have legs, I'd have to wait for you to come see me. I'd have to wait a long time, and I don't want to wait that long." The mermaid laughed and patted his knees. "If I had legs, I'd go wherever you go. I'd stick with you and make sure you couldn't leave me. How about that? Am I smart?"
"Silly fish." Fu Wei laughed and commented.
Neptune said seriously: "I am not a shark, I am a mermaid, but I am a human now."
Fu Wei held his forehead helplessly: "..."
Neptune smiled and nudged Fu Wei. He said cautiously, "So, you'd be willing, right? Let me stay with you. I can... I can..."
Fu Wei raised an eyebrow: "Well, what can you do?"
Neptune thought about it seriously, and suddenly he stretched out his hand, holding a palm-sized water ball in his palm. As time went by, it grew bigger and bigger. The huge water ball was shimmering and beautiful, and it expanded to the size of half a room.
Fu Wei stared blankly, is this the power of mental strength?
If he could have it, he wouldn't have to live such a miserable life.
Thinking of this, Fu Wei suddenly reached out to poke the water ball as if he was possessed by a demon.
The water ball seemed to be alive, rubbing Fu Wei's fingers affectionately, it felt itchy and cool, exactly the same feeling that Neptune gave him, which suddenly woke Fu Wei up from his fantasy.
What is he thinking about?
Neptune said excitedly, "I'll show you something fun!"
The next second, the water ball exploded. Just when Fu Wei thought the water inside would gush out, the water droplets turned into cold snowflakes and fell down.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Snowflakes fell on Fu Wei's body and the entire rehabilitation room, as if they came alive and turned into beautiful little fish, swimming continuously and circling around Fu Wei happily.
The fish was the spiritual incarnation of Neptune, and was extremely cute. Seeing that Fuwei liked it, it swam to Fuwei and kissed the tip of her nose.
It felt cool, and Fu Wei's cheeks turned red instantly.
"You...you..." Fu Wei covered her nose and looked at Neptune in disbelief.
But Neptune blinked his blank and innocent eyes and asked him curiously: "What's wrong, don't you like it?"
The word "lecher" was stuck in her throat, and Fu Wei pursed her lips: "It's okay."
Neptune happily pulled him to look at the fish: "Fuwei Fuwei, do you like it?"
Fu Wei nodded: "Yeah, I like it."
Neptune patted his chest proudly and said, "I knew you liked it. I'm so powerful that I can even beat a mutant giant lion. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll throw him into the water and drown him!"
Fu smiled. How could there be such a silly fish in the world? Yet he couldn't feel disgusted with it.
"good."
