Chapter 30 The Sorrow of a Simp
After hastily shoveling down a few mouthfuls of food, Su Yun ran off to watch the mermaids again.
She was also holding a bowl of loquat syrup in her hands.
"It seems that Xuepo also likes sweets. Where did you put the loquat syrup from before? I'd like some."
Night wind [○｀Д ○！ ！ ！
The cat is angry.
Not much loquat syrup was made, and after a few servings, only the last jar was left. Su Yun poured out almost half of it and presented it to Xue Po.
Xuepo's personality is completely different from Wanwan's. If Wanwan is a thorny wild rose, then Xuepo is a gentle jasmine flower, clean and innocent, with a very soft and cute personality.
Although he knew that mermaids' beauty could tempt humans, Su Yun still willingly became a fan of Shepard after seeing her soft and adorable personality.
There's nothing I can do; she just likes gentle and pretty young ladies.
"This is a loquat, I picked it before. You definitely haven't eaten one in the water. It's sweet and delicious! Shall I feed you some?" Su Yun held the bowl and went to Xue Po to fawn over her.
Shepherd was very thin, a whole size thinner than Wanwan, and she looked to be in very bad condition. Her face was pale and fragile, and her body was swaying precariously, as if a gentle breeze could blow her away. She looked like a fragile and pitiful little animal, with her large, wet, amber eyes wide open, her expression helpless and endearing.
Seeing this, Su Yun's lust, or rather, her enthusiasm for helping others, burned fiercely.
"Really, you should try some, it's delicious!"
Completely ignoring the fact that the night wind beside them was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Of course, there is another person who strongly disagrees with this.
Just as Su Yun was holding a porcelain bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, feeding the obedient little mermaid bite by bite.
Wanwan woke up quietly at some point. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su Yun coaxing and feeding Xue Po.
"How about that? Shepburn is so well-behaved~ Isn't she really sweet?"
Shepburn nodded obediently, revealing a sweet smile: "Thank you, Su Yun. The loquat... is very sweet."
"Oh, don't be so formal. You can call me 'sister.' I think I'm a little older than you, but even if I'm not, it's okay. Just call me 'sister'..."
Shepard blushed slightly and hesitated, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"
Su Yun waved her hand vigorously, shamelessly saying, "It's okay, it's fine... there's nothing wrong with calling me 'sister'..."
Shepard listened attentively, a faint pink blush rising on her fair face.
"Well... alright then..." she said, lowering her head slightly, not daring to look at Su Yun's face. She nervously twisted her fingers, her lips parted slightly, and then in an extremely sweet voice, she softly called out, "Sister..."
"Hey!" Su Yun was overjoyed and happily responded, then couldn't help but reach out and pat the little mermaid's head, "Good girl, little Xue Po."
His eyes crinkled with laughter, making him look like a cunning old fox who had just succeeded in his scheme.
Wanwan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "What are you all doing?" she suddenly sat up from the water.
"No, no... nothing..." Su Yun was startled by Wanwan suddenly sitting up.
Seeing her gaze sweeping over him with a sharp, razor-sharp edge, Su Yun felt that if she weren't her savior, she would have pounced on him and fought him to the death.
Looking into Wanwan's sharp gaze.
Ah, I have this strange feeling of being caught cheating.
Su Yun lowered her head and avoided eye contact. Ah! This scene looked exactly like catching someone in the act of adultery.
Oh, it wasn't catching them cheating.
Instead, it's about the embarrassment of Old Wang next door trying to seduce his naive and innocent wife while his neighbor is away on a business trip, only to be caught red-handed by his husband who returns early.
"No, no, no...it's nothing." Su Yun hurriedly picked up the bowl and ran away.
When Xue Po saw Wan Wan wake up, she excitedly hugged her and said, "Wan Wan, you're finally awake! That's wonderful!"
Seeing Xue Po rush into her arms with joy, Wan Wan's face softened as if turning the pages of a book, becoming gentle and kind. She lovingly embraced the little mermaid, her voice filled with tenderness, "I'm alright, Xue Po, you don't need to worry..."
I watched as Wanwan woke up.
Shepherd's heart was completely focused on the other person, and she completely forgot about Su Yun.
Su Yun watched as the little mermaid she had painstakingly cared for and coaxed suddenly turned and rushed into someone else's arms.
Su Yun felt bitter tears welling up inside. Alas, the simp, the simp, in the end he gets nothing!
Su Yun's mood instantly shifted from sunny to cloudy.
However, adhering to the principle of treating the wounded with care, Su Yun still served Wanwan, who had just woken up, a bowl of fish soup for her to eat by herself.
Wanwan glanced at the bowl Su Yun handed her, then lowered her eyes slightly and pretended to be weak and coquettish.
She feigned concern by raising her wrist, then her lips twitched, and she clutched her arm, groaning softly, "Ah, my hand hurts so much, it doesn't seem to be better yet..."
"Oh no! Wanwan, what happened to your hand? Are you alright? Should we ask Su Yun to take another look?"
"No need, no need. I'm probably still a little tired and might need someone to help me feed me... Xuepo, can you feed me before I eat?" Wanwan blushed slightly and hugged Xuepo's arm, quietly acting coquettishly.
Looking at her completely healed scrapes, Su Yun said irritably, "Your wounds are all healed, aren't they? Look, they've all scabbed over."
Wanwan said in a "delicate" manner, "Perhaps the bones haven't healed yet, it still hurts inside."
Even a blind person could see that Wanwan was faking illness.
Even after traversing the past and future for so many years, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a shameless person.
But the innocent Xue Po was easily swayed by this, and looking at Wan Wan's hand with great concern, she said with heartache, "Then let me feed you!"
When Wanwan heard Xuepo agree, she nodded hurriedly and snuggled into Xuepo's arms, rubbing against her and saying, "Mmm, Xuepo, you're so good to me! You really are my sister... Sister, sister, you're the best to me~" After saying that, she leaned against Xuepo's arms and gave Su Yun a provocative smile.
Shepard, oblivious to Wanwan's antics, smiled gently, tapped her head affectionately, and said sweetly, "You little rascal."
Su Yun was so angry her nose almost twisted; the little mermaid she had so carefully nurtured was about to fall into someone else's arms in the blink of an eye...
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Su Yun was furious.
"Waaaaah, I've been hurt."
She then remembered the good things about having a pet cat. She was sobbing and just wanted to borrow her cat's tail for comfort, saying, "Night Breeze, can I borrow your tail to cry for a bit?"
However, Night Wind seemed not to hear her at all, giving her an unusually indifferent glance before covering its tail and walking away.
Su Yun: ? ? ?
What's wrong with the kitten all of a sudden?
We promised to be each other's angels forever, so how did he leave her too?
Su Yun: o(╥﹏╥)o
The two mermaids were crammed into their own pool, and no matter how you looked at it, it seemed incredibly cramped.
The two of them could barely lie down at the same time.
Su Yun, with "kindness," said, "Ahem, this isn't a solution! There's really limited space in the pool. Why don't you take the initiative and move to the water tank for a while, Wanwan?"
Su Yun clearly had ill intentions, but Wanwan ignored her and instead glanced at her indifferently, saying, "Fine. If you're not afraid of the water vat breaking, I can sleep in it."
Wanwan indicated that she could agree and accepted Li Suyun's suggestion.
Shepard, on the other hand, became anxious and tried to stop him, saying, "How can this be?"
Wanwan's injuries haven't healed yet, and I... I'm rather small and thin, so I should be the one to go.
How could Su Yun bear to see Xue Po squeezed into the narrow water tank? Admittedly, she would like to sleep in the water tank every night, but the water tank was indeed too small.
Looking at the two fish, one anxious and the other calm.
Having no other option, Su Yun had to be frank: "I was just joking. How could anyone live in a water tank? It probably wouldn't even fit a tail. But this pool is indeed too small. You can't even lie down. It's hard for you to recover like this..." As she spoke, Su Yun sighed slowly and said, "I think it's still necessary. If one person is moved to the river, and the two of you are always crammed in here, neither of you will be comfortable..."
As she spoke, Su Yun looked at Wanwan, her words carrying a hidden meaning and a clear objective.
First, Xue Po's injuries were more severe than Wan Wan's; her wounds were still bleeding. Su Yun's words were pointed, and his target was clear.
Secondly, who wouldn't love to spend more time with cute girls?
Third, the 500 fish that were supposed to be the fine have not yet been paid!
In conclusion, moving Wanwan to the river is imperative.
Su Yun was making her own calculations.
However, Xue Po was very kind, and she immediately said, "I'm fine, I'm much better, Sister Su Yun, you can put me in the river and let Wanwan recover here."
Wanwan was much more direct. She stood up halfway and sat down by the pool: "Foolish humans, send me back to the river."
Su Yun: Foolish humans??? Is this a mockery of all humanity? Since you're so arrogant, why don't you go back yourself!
Su Yun silently complained to himself.
But seeing the two mermaids arguing, she patiently asked, "Who is going to the river?"
Wanwan and Xuepo exclaimed in unison, "Me!" "Me!"
Looking at the two of them working together seamlessly, Su Yun sighed, "What's wrong with you two? It's not a big deal. You'll have to go back to the river sooner or later once you've recovered. This place is too small, there's not enough room..."
“But Xuepo is fine with staying as long as you want,” Su Yun added gently, looking at Xuepo with anticipation.
Evening Breeze: ...
"I...I...I'm going to follow Wanwan...Wherever Wanwan goes, I'll go..."
Su Yun confessed her feelings, only to be rejected outright. She was crying and looking for a quiet corner to heal her heartbreak.
Wanwan, however, retorted smugly, "Of course, I'll always be with you." She then gave Su Yun a rather smug look.
Su Yun: "Waaaaah, I'm being tortured, please comfort me, please hug me, please give me a tail."
Ye Feng, standing beside him, didn't even lift his eyelids: "Oh."
The two fish embraced each other again, expressing their deepest feelings for one another.
Just as Su Yun's face was about to turn completely black.
Wanwan finally spoke up, bowing her head to comfort Xuepo: "Be good, stay here and recover first. We'll be together again when you're healed, okay?"
"Why? I don't want to be separated from you."
Shepar was reluctant; she didn't want to be alone in the pool. But after Wanwan's repeated persuasion, she reluctantly agreed.
"But, but, you have to come see me when you have time."
Wanwan gazed at Xuepo's face with deep affection and reluctance: "I will send you flowers every day. Don't worry, take good care of yourself and get better. When you're all better, we'll go find the sea together again."
The sea?
Su Yun, with her sharp ears, caught the key words: were they going to the sea?
