Lan Shuang took the fruit pulp, put down the one in her hand, and sniffed it curiously. "Hmm, it is indeed very fragrant."
The taste is a bit like lemon, orange, etc., but with a slight bitterness. The flesh is also different from lemon, it only looks like it on the outside, but the inside is actually white!
Seeing that she didn't move, Los thought she didn't know what to do, so he walked behind Lan Shuang, put his hands on the back of Lan Shuang's hands, and applied a little force. The blue veins on the back of her hands bulged out clearly, looking very sexy.
Lan Shuang couldn't help but look at it twice more, and then she felt the juice being squeezed out of the fruit pulp in her palm. Along with a strange sound of water, white liquid covered her hand.
Lan Shuang: “…”
This scene is so weird no matter how you look at it!
Los was serious. He held Lan Shuang's hand and kneaded it carefully, smearing the white juice all over Lan Shuang's hand. Then he took her to the water to wash it. After washing it, he held Lan Shuang's hand, lowered his head and smelled it, smiled and said, "It smells good."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She raised her hand and smelled it. Indeed, there was no fishy smell at all. It had a light bitter citrus aroma, and it was smooth and tender, without any astringency.
"What kind of fruit is this? It's amazing."
Los was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know. I found it when I was playing in the woods. There's no flesh, it's all water. It's inedible."
"Can't eat it?" Lan Shuang picked up one, peeled it, and asked hesitantly, "Is it poisonous?"
Los shook his head and was about to speak when Lan Shuang took a bite of it, and her whole face turned green.
"Pah, pah, pah—why is it so bitter?"
Looking at her wrinkled face, Los couldn't help laughing. His laughter was clear and hearty, and particularly pleasant to the ear.
Lan Shuang looked at him resentfully, threw the fruit aside, turned and walked towards the fire, turned the two fish over, and sprinkled seasoning evenly on them.
The aroma of barbecue soon wafted out.
Then I heard a "gurgle" sound.
Lan Shuang: “?”
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Los, who looked away a little embarrassedly. Lan Shuang's eyes fell on his flat abdominal muscles, "Are you hungry?"
Ross turned back and nodded honestly: "Yeah."
Lan Shuang smiled and waved: "Come over and wait, it will be ready in a moment."
Los moved over slowly. As a mermaid, he was quite sensitive to fire, so he just sat far away in a safe range with his tail immersed in the sea water.
The two of them stopped talking and just watched the burning flames quietly.
There was peace on the island, with no wild animals, only tiny insects singing summer night songs, accompanied by the sea breeze.
The call of the waves came from afar, and Lan Shuang's heart suddenly calmed down.
It is a rare experience to be away from modern high technology and come to this primitive island to grill fish.
If she were alone, she would probably feel lonely and uneasy, but now that there is a fish with a glowing tail by her side, it seems that it doesn't matter.
She wrapped her arms around her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and tilted her head to look at Los.
Los also looked at her. Through the dancing flames, his face seemed a little warmer, not as otherworldly as he looked during the day. His emerald green eyes were tinged with gold, and he looked as beautiful and clean as an elf.
Lan Shuang smiled at him, then stretched out her hand and made a heart shape with her hands.
Los was stunned, looked down at his hands, and slowly raised them up. His movements were seriously clumsy, and he also imitated Lan Shuang's way of putting his fingers together and making a not-so-standard heart shape.
Lan Shuang immediately laughed, "You are so cute!"
Ross blinked, "Cute?"
"Well, I praise you." Lan Shuang turned the fish over and felt that it was almost cooked, so she took the fish off and placed it on a large leaf on the side.
"Wait a while until it cools down and you can eat it."
Los watched eagerly, his stomach growling again.
…
The fish was very big, and the two of them were full after eating one each. Los lay on the beach with half of his body soaked in the sea water, his eyes half closed, and he looked very satisfied.
Lan Shuang pushed the branches aside and sat down next to Los. She reached out and grabbed a strand of his hair and played with it between her fingers. "Los, are you alone?"
Ross looked up at her: "Yeah." Then he shook his head: "Not now."
Lan Shuang lowered her head to meet his gentle eyes, and suddenly understood, "Is it because of me?"
Ross pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Yeah."
Lan Shuang touched his head and said, "How about I teach you magic?"
"Why?" Ross was puzzled.
"Because this way you can protect yourself in the future." Lan Shuang inherited the original owner's memories from her previous life. There was a scene in which Los was caught on the boat and bullied. He couldn't beat those people, so he could only be beaten. She didn't want this to happen again.
"Don't you want me anymore?" Los's expression changed, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he looked very sad.
"No! How could that be?"
Lan Shuang quickly patted his head to comfort him, "I can't be by your side all the time. I'm teaching you magic so that you can protect yourself. When I return, I might be busy and may not be able to take care of you most of the time. I'm worried that you might get hurt."
She walked up to Los, leaned over and half-knelt, hugged him and whispered, "But I'm selfish. I don't want to leave you here. I want to take you away with me and let you stay with me forever, okay?"
Los leaned on her shoulder and slowly put his arm around her waist. So this is what she thought. It doesn't matter. She can be a little more selfish. It would be best if she could only see him in this life.
He hugged Lan Shuang tightly, his eyes falling on the dark sea, and whispered, "Okay, I will study hard and will definitely not cause you any trouble. Please don't leave me."
"I won't abandon you." Lan Shuang held and comforted the sensitive little mermaid for a while, then sat down and taught the little mermaid some basic principles of magic.
The little mermaid looked at her intently with her clear and pure eyes and listened attentively.
Lan Shuang taught him two of the most basic magics, fire control and water control. Los learned both very well. Lan Shuang praised him generously, saying, "You are very talented. Perhaps God didn't give you a strong body, but simply maxed out your magic skills?"
Ross looked at his hands and asked, "Is that so?"
He felt the surging magical power in his body and silently lowered his eyes.
"Yeah." Lan Shuang yawned, stood up, stretched, and said, "Come on, if you practice well, you can beat ten people by yourself. From now on, you will be the most handsome mermaid! I'm going to take a nap first..."
She started to cry when she yawned, and the round tears slid down and landed on the back of Los's hand.
Los was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Lan Shuang's face. When another one was about to fall, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her gently.
Lan Shuang: “!”
