The next day, Naxi woke up to the erosion of dew.
He opened his eyes and saw a faint white light, dark green trees, and a figure standing by the lake not far away.
"Awake? Then let's go." Xihe turned around.
Seeing her walking back the way she came, Naxi suddenly woke up. He was extremely surprised and said, "Going to the Snow Country? Let's go."
Xihe: "...Send you back."
Naxi immediately glared: "I'm not going back!"
"Where are you going if you don't go back? Are you going to follow me?" Xihe asked curiously.
The young boy held his chin high: "That's right!"
Xihe: “…”
She tried to reason with him, "Do you know where I'm going? I'm leaving here, going to a very, very far place. I probably won't be back for eight or ten years. If I encounter danger, I might die out there. Are you sure you want to follow me?"
She was going to the elves, not just to complete a mission and then come back.
Naxi blinked: "Ten or eight years?"
Xihe nodded: "Yes."
Naxi suddenly stopped talking, and his expression kept changing.
This means that he may not see his parents or siblings for many years, or he may die outside.
Seeing this, Xihe added fuel to the fire: "Besides, I am used to being selfish. If I encounter danger, I will definitely abandon you at the first moment."
"I am destined not to be a qualified subordinate."
Anyone with normal skills would know what to do if they were to take such a big risk to get a powerful subordinate.
"Let's go. I'll take you back."
Xihe walked in front of him, ready to drop the person off and then set off.
"I'm not going back!"
The young man suddenly raised his head, chin held high, and said nonchalantly, "It's only ten or eight years. Don't you know that mermaids have a long lifespan? I can not only give you a gift, but also give you a grandson and a great-grandson."
Xihe: “…”
Naxi snorted, "As for giving up? Just try it, my mermaid tribe will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
If she dared to abandon him, she probably didn't want to stay in the sea anymore.
As for death?
Is it safe in the sea?
He is not one of those fragile flowers in a greenhouse.
The young man held his head high and walked forward past Xihe: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and move on."
He has grown up and it's time for him to go out into the world. I'm sure his father will agree.
The new sun was rising, and the dazzling sunlight was shining on the earth. The lake was shimmering underwater. The young man swung his arms and walked with a swagger, happily and quickly, which stunned Xihe.
This is different from what she thought. Could it be that he is in love?
Gouzi wanted to shove her in the face: "It's all your fault, you're such a philanderer! You're stupid now, aren't you?"
Xihe: ???
Xihe pushed it away directly: "Get lost!"
What nonsense! She looks so ugly, she's just messing around with the flowers and grass!
But if the other person wants to follow, then let him follow. She has said all the good and bad things about him. His legs are on his body, and she has no right to control him. Xihe followed him with her tail wagging.
From the rising sun to the starry sky,
Despite Xihe's deliberate harassment, the little mermaid gritted her teeth and didn't even complain of being tired.
The forest, with its towering ancient trees, was eerie and gloomy at night. Xihe turned around and saw the little mermaid struggling to keep up, her face pale. Xihe stopped, crossed her arms, and said calmly, "It's not too late to regret now."
Naxi raised his head and glared at her: "There is no such thing as 'regret' in this prince's life! Go away!"
Xihe: ...Okay.
She turned around, holding a lamp in her hand, and walked through the night.
Naxi's face turned pale instantly. He glanced left and right at the dark woods, shuddered, and hurried to follow.
