Chapter 240
Rong Heng changed his clothes and came out of the room. When he returned to the pool, he saw the little mermaid lying by the pool crying heartbrokenly, calling his name while crying.
“…”
Doesn’t this guy think he’s really gone again?
Mrs. Creek also rushed over. She and her husband stood not far from Ika. They looked at the little mermaid worriedly, but seemed at a loss as to what to do.
They tried to get closer, but were scolded by the little mermaid, so they didn't know what to do.
"Xiangyang, you're here."
The first person to discover Rong Heng's return was Lu Li.
When Rong Heng left, he had already apologized to Xiao Lihua, and the little monkey Liuliu who almost got into trouble was locked up in his sea of consciousness again.
As Liuliu gradually condensed into a physical body and could switch between spirit and entity, Lu Li became more and more aware that what Susu had told him before was right.
If he couldn't control Liuliu and let it act on its own, it would only bring danger to Liuliu and himself in the end.
Just like just now, he was not paying attention for a moment, and Liuliu ran to steal Xiaolihua's paintbrush, which almost caused a disaster. He ran away at the moment of danger, but left the danger to Xiaolihua.
This made him break out in a cold sweat as he had just learned everything.
Fortunately, Rong Heng intervened in time to resolve the crisis, and Xiao Lihua was not injured.
Lu Li knew that if he continued like this, something bad would definitely happen, so he made up his mind to master the Soul Forging Technique as soon as possible so that Liu Liu would be under his control at all times.
When facing the lion brothers and sisters, he also expressed his apologies sincerely.
Xiao Lihua generously forgave him, and as a condition, he had to conjure up a little monkey to serve as a model for her paintings in the future, and Lu Li agreed very readily.
As for Rong Heng, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He knew that Xiao Lihua was very important to Rong Heng. Before Su Su came to the nursery, almost every time Rong Heng fought with them, it was because of Xiao Lihua.
However, his worries were unnecessary. Rong Heng's attention was now attracted by the sad and crying little mermaid. After hearing his explanation and apology, he just nodded.
"Well, just listen to my sister."
Then he walked towards the little mermaid.
Lu Li looked at Rong Heng's back as he walked away, then looked at the little mermaid crying "Yangyang", and couldn't help but tilt his head. So, did Xiangyang really know this boy with a fishtail?
"elder brother!"
Little Lihua noticed Rong Heng's return and quickly ran over to grab his hand, pointing at the little mermaid and saying, "I told you to come back soon, but he didn't listen to me."
"Yeah, it's okay."
Rong Heng patted his sister's head and walked towards Ika.
The young man, who was originally immersed in his own sadness, was suddenly startled. He raised his head in confusion, tears blurred his beautiful eyes, the tip of his nose was red from crying, and he looked at Rong Heng who came in front of him with sobs.
"Yang... Yangyang?"
He looked at Rong Heng in confusion. This time Rong Heng was away for a long time, which made him feel unreal again.
Why does he always appear and disappear suddenly?
Will it disappear soon again this time?
"Yes, it's me." Rong Heng looked at his uneasy expression, and helplessly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then he said, "I just went to change clothes, I didn't disappear."
As he spoke, he pointed to the dry clothes on his body.
Only then did Ika realize that Rong Heng had changed his clothes, and then he understood what he meant.
However, everything that just happened still made Ika feel uneasy, especially the images that kept appearing in his mind. The feeling of loneliness was lingering and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He tentatively reached out his hand and gently hugged Rong Heng, not daring to use as much force as before, nor daring to drag him into the water again, for fear that he would go change his clothes again and then disappear in front of him.
After realizing that Rong Heng did not push him away, he boldly moved closer to him and rested his head in his arms.
"Yangyang, I won't leave..."
The little mermaid, who had originally only called his name, added two more words. Her voice was still so difficult and slightly hoarse because she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Rong Heng was somewhat moved. His palm fell on the top of the boy's head. Remembering what his father said to him when he returned to the room, he asked, "Your name is Ika, right?"
The little mermaid raised her head in his arms, with confusion written in her clear blue eyes.
He couldn't understand what he was saying, and he... couldn't remember his own name.
However, even though he had almost completely transformed into a beast, he not only remembered his name, but also recognized him the moment they met again...
Thinking of this, Rong Heng's hands stiffened slightly, and he didn't know how to respond to such pure and passionate friendship.
But in the end, he relaxed and his eyes fell on the boy's back.
In addition to his arms and shoulders, there were also some bruises on his back. Now that he was closer, Rong Heng noticed that several scales on his fish tail had broken and fallen off.
After taking a quick look at the injuries, even someone as steady as Rong Heng couldn't help but look up and cast a reproachful look at the Creek couple who were standing not far away, wanting to get closer but not daring to.
The reason why Rong Heng was away for a while was because his father briefly told him about Ika's situation in the room.
Ika's parents definitely bear a large part of the responsibility for the fact that his condition became so bad.
They didn't show up when Ika needed them. By the time Ika's condition deteriorated to the point of no return and they wanted to make amends, Ika had already refused to accept them.
If they had spent more time with Ika, things wouldn't have ended up like this.
The Creeks felt his gaze, and they, already filled with remorse, could not help but avoid Rong Heng's sight in a guilty and embarrassed manner, not daring to bear the accusations from Ika's childhood friend.
After all, Ika was so cute and well-behaved when he was little, and it was all their fault that he became what he is now...
Seeing them like this, Rong Heng could only look away and look down at this boy who looked older than him but was actually a few months younger than him.
He said softly, "I won't leave, don't worry."
Even though Ika didn't understand, he still spoke to him patiently, "You can live peacefully in the nursery from now on. We can still be like when we were little."
Although Ika couldn't understand the complicated language, he could feel Rong Heng's gentle tone, and slowly, he smiled happily again.
She was crying so sadly just now, but now she is smiling sweetly, bright and cheerful, without any worries.
Rong Heng rubbed his head and said, "Let me apply medicine for you."
He said this several times, and Ika understood the word "medicine". This time he did not dodge, but obediently stretched out his arm to him.
Rong Heng breathed a sigh of relief, took out the medical spray from the spirit storage bag, and sprayed it gently and evenly on his arm.
These scars were basically caused by him hitting the water tank. They were not actually serious, but he had new injuries added before the old ones healed, which was why they had not healed yet.
"You'll be well again soon after taking the medicine."
The medical spray is a specialty of Prison Star, developed from mutated plants. It works quickly. Although the smell is not very pleasant, it takes effect quickly after being sprayed on the affected area.
Ika, who had only accepted Rong Heng's request because he was afraid he would get angry and run away, also felt this change.
He looked at his sprayed arm with a surprised look. Seeing him startled, Rong Heng couldn't help but curl his lips, "Does it hurt anymore?"
Ika tilted his head and looked at him, as if trying to understand the meaning of his words, and finally nodded hesitantly.
"That's good."
Rong Heng continued to treat his other injuries. This time, Ika became very cooperative, and there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Rong Heng.
Those broken and fallen fish scales are not easy to deal with. You can only spray some medicine to relieve the pain and then see if they can grow back.
After Rong Heng had treated the little mermaid's injuries and had just taken a break, he heard...
“Gurgle—”
The sound of my stomach rumbling could be clearly heard.
It was just past lunch time and Rong Heng still felt very full, so the owner of the gurgling sound could only be Ika.
And Ika also lay down somewhat unwillingly, but even so, he still held Rong Heng tightly.
"You're hungry, right? I'll get you something to eat." Rong Heng said.
Feeling that Rong Heng was about to get up and leave, Ika became uneasy again. He shook his head vigorously and looked at Rong Heng with pleading eyes, making him freeze in place and not dare to leave at all.
Fortunately, Rong Heng still has his friends.
Although frightened by the little mermaid's ferocity and not daring to approach, Langze, who had been watching from a distance, moved his ears slightly and finally couldn't help but ran over.
"Xiangyang, let me go! I'll get him something to eat!"
The little wolf cub said this and ran away happily, saying as he ran, "You stay here with him, I'll be back soon."
Lu Li also ran away with him.
However, Lu Li turned back after running for a while. He did not dare to provoke the fierce little mermaid, but ran to ask the Creek couple about Ika's recipe, and then turned around and ran away.
Rong Heng watched them run away, then he looked away and looked down at Ika: "Okay, they're going to get you some food. You can't be mean to them later, okay?"
The little mermaid didn't know whether she understood or not. She just smiled happily and rubbed Rong Heng's palm affectionately.
As long as Yangyang is here, everything is fine!
