Chapter 337 My brother who will drop my little pearl loves me too much. What should I do? (22)

After all, they played by the water, and their clothes were still wet. As the night deepened, Bai Yi was afraid that Bai Yao would catch a cold, so they changed each other into another set of dry clothes that they brought with them. Of course, she had a grope during the process.

Bai Yi's face was still flushed as he carried her back to the beach.

Bai Yao lay lazily on his back, still very interested in the story he told her. She said, "Brother, continue with that story."

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

In fact, the rest of the story was very clichéd. It was nothing more than a mermaid who didn't know the ways of the world getting entangled with a human girl. He sang for her, gave her a conch shell that could hear the sound of the sea, and placed the corals and shells that he thought were beautiful on the shore.

Because she would come here every day, looking at the distant coastline, as if waiting for something.

Or maybe she never waited for the person she wanted to see. As time went by, she gradually accepted her fate and was willing to take off her veil in front of the mermaid, and her disfigured face would still smile.

Later, she became pregnant.

As for whether she was really happy when she learned that she had a child, no one knew. In

order to accompany her for a long time, the mermaid plucked out all his scales, turned them into legs, and climbed ashore.

At least during that time, in the eyes of the villagers, this foreign couple had a loving relationship. Even if the woman's appearance was completely ruined, the man with a heavenly appearance would not leave her.

When the child was born, they would definitely be a happy family of three.

But fate sometimes loves to play tricks on people. The moment the girl's family came to find her, all the beautiful illusions were broken.

She was like being forcefully awakened from a dream. After waking up, she faced the inevitable family feuds and personal love and hatred.

When she set foot in Yunwu Village again, she felt like she was in another world.

The woman with a delicate face seemed to be favored by time. The years had never left wrinkles on her face. Her eyebrows and eyes were filled with the arrogance and nobility of a high position. She still had the demeanor of a girl, beautiful and gorgeous, and high and mighty.

After so many years, this village really hasn't changed at all.

There were still a few trees on the way to the village, and the houses at the entrance were still the same, even the broken tiles on the roof had not been repaired.

Rather than saying that the village had not changed at all, it was as if time had stopped, and everything remained the same as when she left.

Bai Yao was lying on Bai Yi's back, and suddenly saw a woman walking alone on the street. She seemed to have sensed something, and pulled the corner of Bai Yi's clothes, "Brother, put me down."

She got off his back, her feet landed on the ground, and he held her hand again. When she looked at the figure not far away, the expression on Bai Yi's face had never changed.

The woman over there also looked over. She was wearing a bright yellow dress with a white cloak over it. Her figure looked even thinner in the night wind, but her transcendent temperament made people dare not look down on her.

The woman smiled, "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Miss Bai."

Bai Yao recognized her identity at a glance, "Your Majesty..."

The woman said, "Since you are away from home, just forget my identity in the palace and just call me Madam."

Bai Yao followed suit, "Madam Li."

Li was her original surname, and she married the late emperor whose surname was Xuanyuan. Bai Yao did not call her Madam Xuanyuan, but "Madam Li", which made her laugh happily, "Meeting Miss Bai today, she is not as dull and clumsy as the rumors said before."

Bai Yao had participated in one or two palace banquets before. As the daughter of Prime Minister Bai, she had naturally met Madam Li, but she stuck to her own personality, not being out of line or conspicuous. When her father asked her to salute, she did, and when her father asked her to leave, she left.

That's why everyone says that apart from her outstanding appearance, the eldest daughter of the Bai family has nothing impressive about her.

As for Bai Yi, he has never followed Prime Minister Bai to a palace banquet.

This is the first time that Mrs. Li has met Bai Yi, and the bond between people is so strange. They didn't need to meet too many times before, just one glance was enough to sense the bond between them that could not be broken by time.

Madam Li's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Who is this young man?"

The young man answered calmly, "Bai Yi."

Madam Li smiled and said, "I've heard that the young master of the prime minister's mansion is quite famous in the capital. Now I see that he is indeed dignified and imposing."

Bai Yi replied, "You are kind, madam."

Madam Li asked, "There is a festival tonight, aren't you going to join in the fun?"

Bai Yi: "There are enough people at the festival, and it will end as usual even without us two spectators."

Bai Yi added, "It's late at night, Yaoyao and I will go back to rest first, bye."

He didn't care about the eyes of others, and directly took Bai Yao's hand and led her forward, passing by Madam Li.

The young man and the beautiful woman never looked at each other, and even after they separated, they never thought of looking back.

It was just a chance encounter, so why bother?

Mrs. Li stood alone on the empty and deserted street. Her hand unconsciously touched the old little conch hanging around her waist, but it was just a brief and unconscious touch. She put her hand down and walked on another road.

Not all stories have a happy ending.

Blindly sacrificing in an already unbalanced relationship cannot bring back a heart of stone.

In order to stay with his lover, he pulled out his scales and turned into a human.

In order to please his lover, he used his own flesh and blood to help her restore her appearance.

In order to keep his lover who was determined to leave, he lost his tail and could not go into the water again. He followed the stern of the boat into the sea. White pearls fell into the water one by one. He begged her, "Please... at least, at least keep him, okay?"

The waves in the sea were fierce. He was hit by the fishy and salty water and landed on the shore. His body was covered with scales. His silver eyes stared at the direction where the boat left, swallowed by the overwhelming despair.

At the bow, the woman who was already nine months pregnant faced the wind. She gently stroked her belly. Perhaps it was too much mist, which blurred her vision.

The servant behind her reminded her, "The Li family returned with military achievements this time, and their reputation is growing. The Xuanyuan family believes that their achievements surpass their master. The young lady's fall into the sea this time was not an accident. During the time when the young lady was missing, the prince already had a confidante."

The servant said in a heavy tone, "If the young lady cannot make decisive decisions, our Li family will never be able to turn things around."

"Young lady, you should abandon and forget everything in Yunwu Village."

"The people of Yunwu Village cannot be kept, and neither can this child."

"If they are not resolved, they will definitely be a hidden danger on the road to great success for the young lady in the future."
