Chapter 2045 Xiaomei
"Now Huzi is helping me watch the fire again."

"I"

I was just busy chatting with the "mermaid" here.

He didn't say this.

It sounds like blaming "mermaids".

Actually not.

It's his fault.

The next second after the thought came to his mind, he was stunned.

Even the "mermaids" may not understand what he says.

He laughed at his own chatterbox.

Why do you have so much to say to the "mermaid"?

"I am leaving."

He no longer speaks
"Goodbye."

He turned and took a few steps.

Then he thought of something and turned around again, "Nice to meet you."

A huge grin appeared on his face.

Zhao Lei walked to Hu Zi's side with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Tiger."

"You should rest for a while."

"I'm not leaving this time."

"I will watch the fire carefully."

Although it is a great pleasure to find the "mermaid", being trapped here is not a good thing.

There are still many places he wants to go.

We can't stay on this isolated island and be a savage.

……

At night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The stars echo the sparkling waves on the sea, and the sea and sky are one color, making people almost doubt that they are in the starry sky.

The scenery in front of me is really beautiful.

Zhao Lei was a little stunned.

The annoyance in my heart has faded a lot.

Today, no one has detected their distress signal.

As time went by, he inevitably lost some of his composure.

……

"Wow~"

Zhao Lei only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes.

He blinked and looked out to sea.

"beautiful-"

His voice stopped abruptly.

I always feel like it’s not very polite to call someone a mermaid.

"Do you have a name?"

After the contact during the day, Zhao Lei felt closer to this "little mermaid".

He squatted down and supported his chin with his hands.

The little "mermaid" did not escape as he expected, which made Zhao Lei's eyes show a faint smile.

"Well, even if you did, there's no way I'd know."

Zhao Lei laughed at his own question.

It was obvious that he had been talking to himself ever since he saw the little "mermaid".

The little "mermaid" didn't respond.

……

"Did I call you Little Beauty?"

The origin of the name is simple and crude.

The mermaid is Xiaomei.

Zhao Lei looked at the "mermaid" with anticipation in his eyes.

With a big smile on his face.

The little "mermaid" tilted her head, with an innocent look on her little girl's face.

Then, the little "mermaid" imitated Zhao Lei and also smiled widely.

What is revealed at the corners of his grinning mouth are not small canine teeth, but shark teeth.

But compared to the shock he felt when he first saw it, Zhao Lei actually found the little "mermaid"'s shark teeth somewhat cute when he looked at her again.

……

"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei..."

Zhao Lei called the little "mermaid" several times, "I'll take this as your consent."

He pointed at the little "mermaid".

"Xiao Mei."

He turned and pointed at himself.

"Zhao Lei."

……

"Xiao Mei."

"Zhao Lei."

"Xiao Mei."

"Zhao Lei."

……

He repeated it several times.

"Hey, Xiaomei."

Calling the little "mermaid" by her name like this, it felt like they had really become friends.

……

"Hey~"

The strange sound in his ears made Zhao Lei stunned.

Then his eyes burst into bright light.

first.
He heard Xiaomei's voice for the first time.

It was ethereal yet naive, like the voice of an elf.

of course.

He had not heard the elf's cry.

Just feel that way.
If elves really exist, this is probably the sound they make.

Or, rather than elf, goblin is more appropriate?
……

"You like the name Xiaomei, don't you?"

Zhao Lei narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“I think this name sounds nice, too.”

Although the origin is crude, it cannot be denied that it is a good name.

……

Xiaomei's response made Zhao Lei very excited.

The remaining depression is completely gone.

……

It was not until he accidentally looked up and found the moon was at its zenith that he realized that he seemed to be a little overexcited.

He smiled sheepishly.

"I seem to talk too much."

"It's very late."

"You need to rest too, right?"

"Next time if I talk too much, you can just interrupt me or turn around and leave."

"It does not matter."

……

"Xiao Mei."

"Hey~"

The little "mermaid" looks very well-behaved.

After Zhao Lei was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth raised sharply.

The little "mermaid" really understood his words and accepted the name he gave it.

"Go and rest."

"Good night."

……

The little "mermaid" just looked at him with an innocent look on her face.

Zhao Lei smiled and waved at Xiaomei.

He got up.

My feet felt a little numb after squatting for so long.

He stamped his feet on the spot.

He pointed to the sea and repeated what he had said before, "Go and rest."

"Good night."

He turned around.

I saw Hu Zi right behind me.

He was startled.

Then he complained with a smile, "Why did you come here without saying anything?"

Just standing behind him.

But soon, Zhao Lei figured out Hu Zi's intention.

"Are you worried about me?"

Because of Xiaomei?

Hu Zi raised his foot and walked forward.

Zhao Lei took a few quick steps to catch up with Hu Zi.

"don’t worry."

"Xiaomei is a good kid."

Just as he is curious about it, Xiaomei is also curious about him, right?

They looked at each other, both filled with curiosity.

This idea was so vivid that Zhao Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

……

In the next few days, Zhao Lei saw Xiaomei every day.

Xiaomei is in the sea.

He squatted on the beach.

Even though there were barriers in their communication, they got along very well.

……

In the daytime sunlight, he discovered that Xiaomei's fish tail was a beautiful pink-gold color.

This was also because Xiaomei became less guarded against him and got closer to the coastline. He discovered through the blue sea that the color of Xiaomei's tail was such a girly color.

I don’t know if it’s because of the sparkling light, but Xiaomei’s tail looks like it’s covered with a layer of fluorescent powder.

Twinkle, twinkle.

Very dreamy.

……

Zhao Lei has become accustomed to Xiaomei's shark teeth and her strange appearance of having both a fish tail and feet.

Apart from these two special points, Xiaomei is a beautiful little "mermaid".

As their relationship grew closer, Xiaomei would also play with him.

He always loses in every water fight.

Xiaomei flicked her tail.

A large amount of sea water poured down on his head, and his whole body was soaked.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Xiaomei would laugh happily.

……

Because I met unexpected friends, such special friends at that, being stranded on an island isn’t so unbearable anymore.

but……

As time went by, the fire had consumed countless branches and leaves, and the curling white smoke did not disappear even in the middle of the night...

But no ship came.
