Li Yu knew that he had made a huge mistake.
There was no need to think about it, King Jing must be angry. Moreover, he had sprinkled water on King Jing, and made a commotion in the Qianqing Palace when King Jing was away. Now he even molested King Jing himself. Li Yu himself felt that it was a shame for his ancestors that King Jing did not strangle him to death on the spot.
He had forgotten how he rolled back from King Jing's hands to the fish tank, and how he lay on the white stone bed. Fish are easy to fall asleep, but he tossed and turned for half a night, and had no sleep. When the moonlight outside the window shone into the blue and white porcelain fish tank, reflecting the bottom of the water in a sparkling light, Li Yu felt that his loss of soul was relieved a little. After learning
from the painful experience, Jiaojiao Mingzhu couldn't continue to be shameless. He should have a chance to become a real human in the future, so he should give up the branch line and stick to the main line first.
Li Yu finally convinced himself and prepared to concentrate on studying how to "get along" with King Jing. However, this big black dragon has cast a shadow on him. He felt uncomfortable when he saw King Jing. He always felt that the fish mouth seemed to still retain the soft touch of that time, and the fish tail seemed to be roasted by fire. The whole fish would burn soon.
How could he be blinded by lard at the beginning and couldn't even tell the pearl from that thing.
Li Yu stuffed his head into the water grass quilt impatiently. He felt so uncomfortable, and King Jing would probably feel uncomfortable too. If he were in the other's shoes, he would probably become a laughing stock for the rest of his life if he was bitten by a fish there.
But he still dared to do something stupid and moved into King Jing's room. He was always in trouble. Now he has no medicine to regret.
Li Yu was hiding from King Jing unconsciously. When King Jing passed by, he would either point his tail at King Jing or hide in the water grass quilt and pretend to sleep, motionless. When Wang Xi came to see him, he would act cute and ask for food.
Every time Wang Xi would feed him a lot of red fish food, and his eyes were filled with pity for some reason. He would whisper to him: "Little thing, you have suffered a lot. Eat more and fatten up."
Li Yu: ???
It is also dangerous to fatten fish. The little carp became alert. Is King Jing going to make him into fish soup?
Fortunately, every time Wang Xi fed the fish, he would use a jade ruyi to make him swim back and forth. Li Yu was puzzled at first. Wang Xi always followed the quiet King Jing, so he had a chatterbox nature. He had to think twice before saying anything in front of his master, but he didn't care about the little carp. Li Yu learned from Wang Gonggong's chatter that fish should not be eaten too much, and Wang Gonggong stopped him to help him digest his food.
Li Yu was startled, and a hand appeared in his mind, with fingers together and gently pushing him around, when he ate a lot of fish food.
It turned out that King Jing was also helping him digest his food.
But because he couldn't speak, and because of his personality, King Jing didn't tell anyone.
Li Yu was grateful in his heart, and he felt more and more guilty. He knew that King Jing was good to him, but he ate his bean... tofu, alas.
Although it was a misunderstanding and an accident, he ate it.
The little carp thought with a sad face that once he ate the tofu, he and King Jing would never be able to go back to the past.
Could it be that he would just keep escaping like this, never be able to complete the mission again, and turn into fish bones and fish ash?
Li Yu was unwilling to end his life for such an inexplicable reason.
He wanted to cheer up and complete the mission happily with King Jing, instead of hiding when he heard King Jing's footsteps.
He... felt that he should try to apologize.
Although it was a misunderstanding, it was ultimately his fault.
As long as he apologized, even if the apology of a fish was insignificant to King Jing, he could completely turn the page and treat King Jing with a normal heart.
But how should he apologize?
Seaweed dance and spinning were things he did often, so it was nothing special.
He couldn't write, and couldn't express himself in human language.
As a fish, he couldn't even prepare a proper gift. The fish tank he lived in, the bed and quilt he used, didn't belong to him.
How could he show his sincerity?
Li Yu turned around in the fish tank anxiously, and his eyes fell on a piece of fish food.
This was a piece of fish food that Wang Xi had fed not long ago. Li Yu didn't touch it because he was not very hungry.
The fish food given to him was his.
He could give it to King Jing to show his sincerity.
Li Yu picked up the fish food and hid it. Fearing that the amount was too little, he secretly hid it several times and finally came out with a lucky number of six.
King Jing was rarely in his bedroom during the day. He usually came at night. When the lights were turned on at night, Li Yu estimated that it was almost time, so he picked up the fish food one by one and arranged them carefully, waiting for King Jing happily.
What's the big deal about biting the master? He is just a fish. You will forgive the fish, right?
But he didn't know that the King of Jing had to go back to the palace outside the palace for important matters that night. He waited until he fell asleep, but the King of Jing never came.
In the early morning, the King of Jing hurried back to Jingtai Palace on the morning dew.
Wang Xi led a group of eunuchs to change his clothes. The King of Jing took the time to look at the blue and white porcelain fish tank.
Ever since being bitten by the small carp, the King of Jing felt that the fish was a little wilted, and according to his observation, this wilting was targeted at him. But for him, Wang Xi just shook his head and tail, and he just had a bunch of water plants. The
King of Jing was a little angry. Could it be that he was not the one who was bitten? He was fine, but the fish still ignored him?
King Jing was not a pushover. He wanted to settle accounts with the fish and set up some rules. He had written them down one by one and was ready to hand them over to Wang Xi.
He would not cut off the fish's food and water. He was not so cruel to his own fish. He just wanted to let the fish suffer a little, so that it would not get too active and cause trouble for him again.
One of the rules was to put the pearl picked up from the Qianqing Palace into a crystal bottle and seal it, and then put the crystal bottle in the fish tank.
King Jing knew that the little carp wanted the pearl very much, so he would not let it succeed. He just let it see it to temper its temper and let it know that the world is not as it wishes.
"Your Highness, you... can the little thing understand your painstaking efforts?"
Wang Xi tried to persuade King Jing feebly. In fact, Wang Xi wanted to say that the little thing was just a fish and would definitely not understand such a profound truth.
But King Jing insisted on doing so and nodded solemnly to what was to be done.
Wang Xi: "..."
Wang Xi couldn't persuade his master and had to make preparations.
After King Jing changed his clothes, he came to the fish tank and found that the little carp did not hide, nor did it hide on the white stone bed, but slept on a row of neatly arranged fish food.
King Jing: "..."
King Jing almost thought that someone had treated the fish badly, and the fish began to hoard food.
The little carp woke up soon, looked around, and found that the fish food was still there. He looked up and found King Jing again, and happily turned around.
No, no, Li Yu shook his head and almost did the seaweed dance by reflex! Li
Yu was in the water and tried to lower his head. The fish fins were too short to bow. Li Yu had to give up arching his fins and instead took the fish food one by one to King Jing, and bowed his head again.
King Jing: "..."
The king was surprised and said, "Your Highness, little thing...what does this mean?"
King Jing saw the little carp's head nodding from the row of fish food. He looked at it for a long time and speculated for a long time.
Is this begging for mercy, flattering, or something else?
Whatever it was, the fish food seemed... to be for him to eat.
Of course, humans cannot eat fish food. King Jing curled his lips at the strange idea of this fish.
Wang Xi saw that he seemed to be in deep thought, so he did not dare to speak. He asked the eunuch who had been ordered to prepare to come over and report. Wang Xi tried to call softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness... The night-shining pearl has been put into the crystal bottle as you wished."
King Jing originally indicated to Wang Xi that he would personally sink the pearl and the crystal bottle into the fish tank as a punishment for the small carp.
Wang Xi called for a long time this time before King Jing came back to his senses.
In Wang Xi's hand, he was holding the crystal bottle with the night-shining pearl. The bottle was very solid and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with wax. It was impossible for a fish to open it.
Looking at the fish in the fish tank spitting bubbles at him, King Jing hesitated for a moment and pulled Wang Xi.
Wang Xi was confused, but King Jing had snatched the crystal bottle from his hand and lifted it above the fish tank.
The radiance of the night-shining pearl was very bright even through the crystal bottle, and instantly filled the fish tank.
Li Yu's attention was immediately attracted, and he could see clearly immediately that this was the bright pearl he had dreamed of.
What on earth was going on? Was he dreaming? He had given up on the side quest, but King Jing took out the night-shining pearl again.
Li Yu still remembered the result of his recklessness last time, so he didn't dare to move again. He stayed in the fish tank obediently, with his tail wagging in anticipation.
What did King Jing want to do? Could it be what he thought?
The young man standing in front of the fish tank silently opened the crystal bottle and threw the night-shining pearl inside directly into the fish tank.
Nine out of ten things in life are not as you wish.
But as long as you truly miss him, he will take care of you even if you are a fish.
The night-shining pearl slowly fell down, and the bright pearl, in the fish's eyes, was like a brilliant meteor passing through.
