To the eyes of Nasha, Kerry highlighted a syllable.

"I……"

Kerry struggled. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Seeing him hesitating, Nasha's face collapsed: "If I disturb you, just forget it..."

"Not like this!" Kerry quickly replied: "It's just... there are some inconveniences, so, please ask someone to show you."

After talking, Kerry closed his eyes and turned away.

Seeing him running away, there was no sad look on Nasha's tender face, only endless exploration and the corner of her mouth that was shallowly raised.

Running to no one, Kerry gasped on his knees, regretting it.

——The other party is a saint! If... If you can have a good relationship with the Virgin, isn't it very helpful for your future! Stupid Kerry! Do you want to live such a bullied life all your life? !

Kerry did not want to analyze what was in his mind, but he knew clearly that he wanted to get rid of such a life.

——Let everyone pay for their ignorance!

Pausing, Kerry wanted to turn around and run back, picking up this opportunity again, but just half a step later, he stopped.

In my heart... I still don't want to go.

Even if you want to retaliate, you can't be so spineless.

As a young boy, Kerry didn't understand human relations, he was just confused and unwilling to live in his present life, but he had no choice... No friends, no close people, only his own struggle in a large mansion.

Suddenly, the loving face at the time of her mother's death came to her mind. She stroked her head, comforted herself softly, wiped her tears, and then did not raise her hand again...

If she was a mother, how would she admonish herself? What would you do?

Unconsciously, Kerry had already walked out of the side door of the mansion and walked towards the distant beach.

The side door is one of the least noticed, and Kerry’s room happens to be in the round tower of the side door, a small place like a doll abandoned there.

Qi Yan was swimming in the water, feeling that the sound of heavy objects falling into the water from behind was not very clear, but in the sea, Qi Yan's hearing was very sensitive.

Quietly surfaced, Qi Yan saw a thin and thin figure sitting on the beach in the distance, sitting on the rock with his knees.

No need to think about it, it is Kerry.

Qi Yan swims quietly in the past, day is not comparable to night, in order not to let people discover, Qi Yan can only be cautious.

Coming to the reef at last night, Qi Yan floated up, seeing Kerry indulging in his thoughts and not finding him at all, so he whispered, "What are you thinking?"

Kerry froze and looked down, then a big smile appeared on his face: "You still remember me!"

Qi Yan glanced at him lightly, then looked away and looked at the distant sea: "Of course, my memory is not only seven seconds."

Kerry happily lowered his hand: "My name is Kerry, what is your name?"

Qi Yan looked at the hand, pondered for a moment, took his hand out, and took it with the sea water: "Qi Yan."

"Qi Yan?" Kryan repeated: "Toyo's name?"

Qi Yan withdrew his hand and turned his head coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Kerry thought he had touched any taboos, shrunk his shoulders, and stopped asking.

There was silence between the two, Qi Yan was soaking in the water, and Kerry was sitting. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

It's almost lunch time, and this quiet atmosphere makes Kerry a little anxious. In case someone will come to him and find Qi Yan...

"That..." Kerry's tentative opening, seeing that Qi Yan did not change, then continued: "I... want to be stronger."

Qi Yan was stunned and looked up at him: "What is stronger?"

"I want to become stronger, so that no one can bully me and beat me."

The extremely serious words were spoken in this tender voice, which should have been like a joke, but Qi Yan heard the hate and unwillingness in the depth of the words.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yan asked back: "Is it yesterday's wound?"

After hearing it, Kerry raised his hand unconsciously, stroking the bruises that he had no pain, and said softly: "Well."

"Then get stronger." Qi Yan put his eyes on the seagulls playing in the distance, his voice indifferent like a bystander.

"If you become stronger, you can protect the person you want to protect."

[Kerry favors Qi Yan by +5, current favorability is 25]

Looking down at him, his smooth silver hair was attached to his fair skin. The lean and strong upper body line was perfectly perfect. Kerry was startled. The following words blurted out.

"I want to protect you."

It seems...to protect you, to keep you by my side, to be my own mermaid.

Qi Yan's movements froze, his gaze on Shangri, the indifferent and indifferent glimmer of pupils flashing.

"Then protect me."

...

Like childhood jokes, who would pursue these things when everyone is an adult? It was an encouragement, and Qi Yan should give up. Every day after that, Kerry would sneak out at night, sit on this reef, chat with Qi Yan, and talk about the strange things on the mainland.

Many times, Kerry came with injuries, sometimes because of injuries.

Every time, Qi Yan will not ask, but waits quietly until he arrives.

No man would be willing to care about people's failures, especially failures.

The more scars, the weaker Kerry is. And the same, as the scars increase, he will be more determined to do something.

A year has passed, Kerry and Qi Yan maintain a relationship of "friends", chatting daily, although most of them are said by Kerry, Qi Yan listens. And Kerry’s favorability naturally rose to ‘40’.

"Ayan, I brought the pastry. Would you like to try it?"

Growing up boys always grow fast. If it was a year ago that Kerry could be seen as a teenager, now he is like an adult man at the airport.

Although I have to admit it, Kerry is already a seventeen-year-old. The one-and-eight-million-something man still sits on the reef, no longer looks thin and thin, but is extremely handsome and powerful.

Qi Yan did not take the pastry he brought, but looked at him lightly, saying one by one: "Kerry, I'm leaving."

It is almost winter, Qi Yan must leave the sea and go to the volcanic sea.

Volcanic sea, as the name suggests. A sea surrounding the crater. It is not affected by the cold current and is a good place for mermaids to spend the winter.

Qi Yan's words fell, and Kerry stood up sharply, staring at Qi Yan with his head hanging down.

"Do you want to leave me?"
