Chapter 12 Mermaid Baby
"It can fit in the bathtub. It's so small and cute."
Jiang Jiu looked at the mermaid cub blowing bubbles in the water with an auntie smile on his face because it was so cute.
"Did you look like this when you were a kid? Who could say no to that?"
She couldn't help but sigh.
That’s right, the man who became smaller this time turned out to be Yun Shuili. The reason was the same. Because his power was incompatible with this world, he suddenly lost his power and turned into a juvenile form.
However, compared to the irritable Chi Li, Yun Shuili seemed very calm. He was still looking at her with his big watery eyes, blinking as if he was acting coquettishly. Small bubbles emerged one after another from under the water, gurgling and exploding.
After waiting for a while, Yun Shuili finally surfaced.
The mermaid cub shook its head and pursed its lips as if it was about to cry.
“Actually, no one liked me when I was a kid.”
His tone was so coquettish that it sounded like he was complaining, and he immediately hooked the ginger wine into a black carp.
"How could that be, baby? Who wouldn't like you?"
Jiang Jiu refuted righteously.
"Father...Mother, neither of them likes me."
Yun Shuili's tone became even more aggrieved. Dejectedly, he half hid himself in the water, his long seaweed-like hair floating on the water. Only his eyes were still looking at Jiang Jiu, with his head sticking out, like a little punching bag.
"They don't like you, it's because they have no taste!"
Jiang Jiu frowned and immediately retorted.
She had read about Yun Shuili's life story while playing games. It seemed that he was indeed a child who was not loved by his father and mother. It seemed that he must have had a very miserable childhood.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu even felt a little regretful about what he had just said.
This is not rubbing salt into someone's wounds.
"So do you like me?"
Hope appeared in the eyes of the mermaid cub, and it waited eagerly for her answer.
"Of course! One hundred percent! No, one thousand percent!"
Jiang Jiu answered almost without hesitation.
Upon hearing this answer, the mermaid cub's eyes suddenly lit up, and it finally stopped being autistic. Instead, it completely floated out of the water, sat beside Jiang Jiu, and stretched out its two shortened little arms to ask for a hug.
Jiang Jiu also held Yun Shuili in his arms without hesitation, just like holding a baby.
"Will this make you happier?"
She asked.
"Actually, I'm happy no matter what as long as you're here."
Yun Shuili leaned on Jiang Jiu's shoulder, her tone soft and sticky, like some sea salt-flavored cake, which made people feel soft-hearted.
"In that case, I'm really awesome."
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips.
"I never had a hug like this when I was little, only my brother did."
Yun Shuili turned her head and leaned against Jiang Jiu, looking at her pink and tender ears, and spoke in her ear as if whispering.
In fact, he could say these words on ordinary days, but it seems more appropriate now and he can be more relaxed.
Just like a wronged child going to his parents to complain, only trustworthy parents can hear the child’s true words. Those children who are not loved will only grit their teeth silently and swallow all the grievances.
This is also what Yun Shuili experienced every day when he was a child.
He is like a weed, he can grow however he wants.
His father was indifferent to him, and his mother resented that he did not get his father's care. He was like a burden, disliked by everyone, and not as good as his brother.
If it weren't for Jiang Jiu's appearance, he would still be a weak and useless person.
Without the ability to practice cultivation, he could only resort to some insidious tricks, and there was no way he could become so powerful.
All his strength came from the gift of ginger wine.
Frankly speaking, even if Yun Shuili lost him now, there was nothing to regret. He could accompany Jiang Jiu in this world for the rest of his life.
"Is your brother handsome?"
Jiang Jiu asked.
In fact, she always felt that Yun Shuili's beauty was top notch in the world, and even Chi Li and the others could not compare to her, as there was always that little bit missing.
Humans can’t refuse handsome guys, nor can they refuse such a beautiful Yun Shuili.
Therefore, in Jiang Jiu's eyes, it was extremely inappropriate for Yun Shuili to be disliked.
"Ahaha, they are all very beautiful mermaids, maybe not as pretty as me, but they are stronger, healthier and more outstanding than me."
Yun Shuili can be humble in everything except his face. This is the only advantage he has that allows him to keep Jiang Jiu, and he cannot give it up no matter what.
"But among the mermaids, good looks are useless. Everyone is beautiful and handsome. My little bit of prominence will only attract the jealousy of other mermaids."
Yun Shuili was like a well-behaved mermaid baby, holding Jiang Jiu's shirt tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would run away, while recounting her sufferings that she had never complained about before.
He thought.
These things should not have been told to Jiang Jiu, but as he grew older, his mind became less mature and he could no longer hide his thoughts.
It seemed as if the mouth had not communicated with the brain, and it just wanted to tell everything to Jiang Jiu.
"I always like to call you Junior Sister because that's how we become bonded and like family. I also want a good family."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes, and Jiang Jiu felt mixed emotions after hearing this.
"That's not the case. I'm your family now."
They don't need any other identities to support them, they are the closest lovers.
"Well, that's good, that's good."
Yun Shuili could feel the emotion called happiness fermenting in his heart, as if all the sufferings in the past had ended in happiness at this moment. He was no longer the mermaid prince trapped in the shadow of his unfortunate childhood, but Jiang Jiu's lover.
"It's okay, we are all the same. You can tell me that you have also seen me in a mess, haven't you?"
Jiang Jiu said with a smile.
During that period in the long river of time, Jiang Jiu almost opened up her past to everyone. Those terrible experiences and desperate memories were things she would never have been willing to talk about in any other way.
But they still found out.
Even her social anxiety was cured.
Yun Shuili opened his eyes when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed into crescents as he smiled.
"That's not embarrassment, that's you met bad guys, I help you drive them away."
Speaking of this, Yun Shuili couldn't help but grit his teeth, because this was not done by him alone, but by other men as well, which made people very unhappy. Obviously, even if he was alone, he could have protected Jiang Jiu from the bad guys.
You know, he was the first one to see ginger wine in the long river of time.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Jiang Jiu burst out laughing. Yun Shuili always managed to comfort her.
Just as she was thinking about it, Yunshuili suddenly jumped out of her arms, and the fat baby fell into the bathtub, and the splashing water soaked Jiangjiu all over.
