Chapter 15 15 Happy Birthday
Chapter 15 15 Happy Birthday
After closing the door, Su couldn't help but sighed, the past mentioned tonight made her miss her family very much, and missed those happy days.
Su massaged his temples on both sides, and only now felt a little tired.
"Su?"
The sudden appearance of the voice startled Su.
"How did you get into Grandpa Simon's room?"
Ariel, who appeared for some reason, was right in front of her, looking at her in surprise.
"It's like this." Su took a deep breath, and quickly organized a lie, "I accidentally got lost when I came back from the bathroom, and the lights in the corridor were rather dim. You know, the door of Grandpa Simon's room is very similar in color to your door , I thought..."
"Go to the toilet? Are you like this these days? I have a toilet in my room, idiot." Ariel said while looking at Simon's door, "Also, the decorations on the two doors are different , Su, do you eat carrots? Your night vision is very worrying..."
"You also know about carrots." Su said in surprise.
"Did you forget, you told me."
"Ah, that's it."
"I don't know if you were also reckless a few days ago. I was shocked when I woke up today and didn't see you." Ariel took Su's arm.
"So, you came out to look for me?" Su asked.
"Well, you didn't come back after waiting for a long time, and I was a little worried. When I found you, I happened to see you coming out of Grandpa Simon's room."
Saying that, Ariel couldn't help but hold Su tight.
She said softly: "Occasionally, I would wake up inexplicably. I didn't feel anything at first. I calmed down, closed my eyes and continued to sleep. But this time, I don't know if it was because I read the book recommended by Sister Gwendolyn during the day, and I suddenly woke up tonight. When I woke up, I found that there was no you next to me, and something seemed to flash in front of my eyes, and I became a little scared. And I couldn’t see anything clearly in the dark. I wanted to turn on the light to sleep, but the light failed again, so I came out to look for you...you said Am I too timid..."
Su comforted Ariel: "It's nothing, I'm also very scared, I am the opposite of you, I'm afraid of lights in the dark."
Ariel looked at her puzzled.
Su smiled slightly: "I have a special kind of ghosts there, they all appear when there are lights on, and they are much more terrifying than ghosts at night."
"What will happen to them?"
"They cannibalize and kill people all at once. They torture you non-stop. I have seen corpses tortured by them. It looks very..."
Ariel let out a low cry, wishing she could shrink into Su's arms. Although Su's expression was calm, the tone of her words was particularly terrifying.
"Wow!"
Su suddenly yelled into Ariel's ear, and Ariel covered her ears in fright.
"Haha. Fake, how can you believe it so easily."
Su pushed the trembling Ariel.
Ariel hadn't recovered yet, she covered her ears tightly and closed her eyes tightly, and it took a while before she slowly opened them.
It is not true.Sue lip-synched her.
"Su!" Ariel was furious.
Su suddenly made a hush gesture and pointed to her back.
Ariel was shocked again, not daring to turn her head.
Su calmly grabbed her hand and put it back into his arms. After walking for a long time, he couldn't help laughing out:
"You're really easy to cheat."
Ariel no longer wanted to talk to Su.
Su patted her hand comfortingly: "Actually, ghosts are nothing to be afraid of."
"Don't, don't say any more..."
Ellie quickly covered her ears again, she didn't want to hear what was more terrifying from Su.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I really won't say it."
Su smiled and pulled her wrist down.
"What are you doing here so late?"
A cold voice sounded in the corridor, Su was stunned for a moment, and restrained her smile.
Duke Boya, he once wanted to take Su's life, Su was quite jealous and afraid of him.
"Uncle Boya, I can't sleep, ask Su to come out with me for a walk."
Ariel stepped forward and blocked Boya's questioning.
"I heard that you have been sleeping with her lately?" Although Boya has a bad temper, he has always been very kind to Ariel, treating her as if he were his own daughter.
"Well, I asked for it. I want to hear some human stories."
"It's enough to listen to a story before going to bed. Human beings..." Boya glanced at Su, "It's nothing good."
"Uncle Boya, please don't say that." Ariel was a little sad.
"Ariel, you are still too young."
Su couldn't help but said: "There are good and bad mermaids, and there are also good and bad humans. I don't understand why you have so much hostility towards humans."
"Ah."
He smiled contemptuously, as if looking at disgusting garbage, with an extremely disgusted expression:
"Simply disgusting. You seem to be nothing on the surface, but at the critical moment, you can't do anything for yourself, betray your friends, betray your lover. The human heart is already rotten, how can I like to smell the stench that emanates from within—— "
"Uncle Boya, it's late, we're going to bed, goodbye."
Ariel might be a little angry, so she simply bid farewell to Boya.
"Ariel, are you unhappy?" Boya was very surprised that Ariel revealed her displeasure at this time, he had never seen Ariel like this, she was always very polite.
"Yes, Uncle Boya, I think what you said is wrong, you are prejudice."
"..."
Boya was speechless for a while, prejudice?It was only then that he felt that Ariel had an excessive preference for humans, and her attitude was dangerous.
"Uncle Boya, good night."
Ariel pursed her lips, without a smile like never before, she dragged Su away quickly, leaving Boya stunned.
"Is this okay? Duke Boya should be very angry." At the corner, Su looked back.
"I don't like to hear those words, I don't want to hear others say that about you." Ariel's cheeks were puffed up.
"Ariel..." Su looked down at the clasped hands of the two, "Thank you."
"It's nothing, you are my friend." Ariel smiled, and squeezed Su's hand vigorously, "The only human friend."
The word "friend" made Su stop, and she looked at Ariel strangely.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing." Su smiled, "Well, we are friends. Friends will not make things difficult for you."
a few days later.
Ariel was lying on the bed alone, her eyes open in boredom.
Because of Su's story, her biological clock has been adjusted to the middle of the night, so she can't fall asleep early.
But Su hadn't come for several nights.
Ariel has been a little confused recently. A few days ago, Su told her that they were friends, but these days, Su's behavior has developed in the opposite direction.
She carefully recalled the conversation with Su at that time. Since she said that she would not embarrass herself, she disappeared from the next day. She went to the garden to find her. When she heard that she asked for leave, the trustee delivered a message, but declined. I asked for my own story several times.
Embarrassed?I will be a little bit, but Su shouldn't be like this.Ariel felt that it had nothing to do with Su at all, it was obviously Uncle Boya's fault.
But she finally agreed to come today, Ariel glanced at the dressing cabinet, and finally the prepared gift was delivered smoothly.Alas, it's already late, if it's delayed until next month, how dare I send it away.
"Dong dong dong." The door rang at this moment, who could it be so late?
Opening the door, the swordfish guard who was on guard at night bowed solemnly: "The wife of the housekeeper Eel said that she has something to look for the princess."
The housekeeper's wife?Ariel poked her head out and saw the mermaid woman with an unhappy face by the door.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Princess, that human girl's hands and feet are not clean."
Hearing the human girl, Ariel couldn't help but slightly frowned. Many mermaids call Su like this, she obviously has a name.
"Please make it clear."
"That's it." The housekeeper's wife took a deep breath.
Ever since the statue of the little princess was stolen, Steward Eel has paid special attention to it, and would wander back to the garden from time to time. Although there was nothing unusual, he found that Su was always the last one to leave among the gardeners.
Several times he tried to ask:
"What are you busy with all day long? Other mermaids think the working hours are too long, but you are lucky enough to take the initiative to extend it."
"Ah? Butler, your Tove is waiting for you to cook, why don't you go back so late."
Every time this topic was mentioned, Su would diverge.The eel steward didn't think much about it at first, until one time, he was too busy and it was almost time to go to bed, and he was worried again, so he thought about going to the garden to take another look.When he passed by, he found that Su was still in the garden. When he walked over to say hello, Su was startled, and his expression was very bad.Since then, the eel steward has kept an eye on it. Today, he has to report to Neptune and has to go first.But he privately asked his wife to help him watch quietly.
The wife has been observing all afternoon and found that Su will work more than other gardeners in the future. Not only will she be busy with the part she is responsible for, but she will also wipe all the princess's flower beds, but this is not the key reason for her to stay, wife Surprisingly, after finishing all this, Su took away the statue of Ariel, sneakily, and seemed very guilty.
After returning home, the wife told the incident to her husband who came back shortly afterwards.After contacting the previous theft, the butler eel understood that it must have been carried away by Su.He originally wanted to come here by himself, but it seemed that there was something wrong with the report during the day, and Neptune asked him to go there, but he couldn't leave.So, he quickly called his wife to report.
"According to what you said, Su probably didn't do this for a day or two... But, if it was really stolen, why did she send it back?"
"This..." The wife listened to her husband's haste and came here without thinking too much. Now that I think about it, something is really wrong.
"Don't tell others in a hurry, I'll ask her." Ariel said to the housekeeper's wife, before leaving, she opened the dressing cabinet and took the things inside, and hid them in her sleeves.
This news came at a very bad time. After this conversation, Ariel almost fell asleep.She decided to go to the garden to have a look. She might not be able to wait until tomorrow. If she could see Su today, she wanted to confirm her innocence as soon as possible.
However, the situation turned out to be disappointing. Ariel who came to the garden happened to bump into Su who was sending the statue back.
Su seemed to be very happy, walking briskly, with a smile blooming on her face, expressing her satisfaction.
But I can't be happy.
Is the evidence conclusive, or is it that the stolen goods were stolen?
Su Di, who was full of smiles, turned her head and was stunned when she saw Ariel with a serious expression at the gate of the garden.
"Ariel..."
Damn, why is she here.
Seeing Su's panic, Ariel was silent, maybe she didn't know what to say, or she was waiting for Su's explanation.
"Ariel, I'm sorry..."
Hearing the word sorry, Ariel's heart sank unconsciously.
"Someone told me, Su, you can actually tell me directly if you need it."
If you like it, if it is you, I can share it.
"It's hard to say about this kind of thing... In fact, it's only one day, just a little bit, and it will end tomorrow..."
Su thought there was nothing he could do to be pleasantly surprised. He had worked so hard for more than a month, but in the end he failed to keep up on the last day.She rubs her hands:
"I'm not ready, you're here... What should I do, it's only a little bit close..."
Ariel shook her head: "It's okay, you don't have to suppress it, if you really like the statue, I'll let you go."
Su heard something wrong. It turned out that Ariel had misunderstood what she meant, thinking that she liked the statue too much and couldn't put it down, so she secretly took it back.
Su hurriedly explained: "No, no, you made a mistake. I didn't steal something, I planned to give you a present, and I repaired it."
"Gifts, and repairs? My God... What's going on here? Quickly take off the cloth you're covering, and let me have a look."
Su stopped: "Ariel, you'd better not watch it today..."
Ariel looked at her suspiciously: "Why?"
"Just give me another day."
"Su, did you hit it again? I'm afraid I'll blame it... It's okay, just show me, even if it hasn't been repaired."
Su glanced at the statue and sighed: "I'm really getting darker and darker... I didn't intend to show it to you today, but it seems there's nothing I can do about it."
She tore off the cloth from the statue.
The exposed statue made Ariel stunned, completely unexpected.
The face of the statue is intact, but what has changed is his hairstyle, which has undergone a drastic change from the typical royal open-faced curly hairstyle to... a crew cut...
Ariel's shocked expression frustrated Su very much.
"Grandpa Simon was right, the plan failed. Ariel, I'm sorry, I changed the statue without authorization. Because of me, I knocked off a corner of your statue. Every time I see you, I feel sad and feel It shouldn't go on like this. So I thought of a way, but it's just that the sideburns can't be repaired anyway, so I just..."
"Don't rush to apologize, wait for me to take a closer look."
"Okay..." Su was very worried.
After a long time, Ariel finally spoke:
"It's actually not bad."
Ariel's comments made Su suspect that something was wrong with his ears.
"Ariel...you..."
"It must have been surprising at first, you know it's really hard to imagine... I never thought the prince would have such a hairstyle..."
Ariel stared at the statue, she seemed to be still in the aftertaste of shock, shaking her head slightly in disbelief.
"Actually, there is a reason for choosing this hairstyle." Su said.
"En?" Ariel looked at Su with curiosity in her eyes.
"My mother told me that a really handsome man can control all hairstyles. Whether a boy looks good or not depends on whether he is handsome when he has a short haircut."
Su touched the statue: "Although the shaving is almost unfinished, your prince is still very handsome... Ariel, you asked me if there is such a person you yearn for in the world. I thought about it." It's been a long time, I think there is, you have to wait, just like you waited for this statue, there must be a day when a 'ship' will bring your prince, just like you saw this statue at the beginning, hit it off .It doesn’t matter if you temporarily miss or encounter difficulties, because..."
Speaking of this, Su suddenly felt a little shy, she blushed slightly and said:
"Because even then... there will be nosy people like me to help you, so don't be afraid, you should believe it."
"Thank you, Su. Really..." Ariel paused, "Actually, I also have something to give you."
"Give it to me?"
Su was surprised that she would have something to give to herself.
"During the last cleaning, your cross fell out, and I accidentally saw your birthday... I have been thinking about what to give you, and finally I think this is good, but unfortunately it took more time to get it. It seems a little bit of a stretch to do it in a week. Although it is late, it is still a long time late, but I hope you don’t mind.”
She reached into her sleeve and took something out. The moonlight in the sky sprinkled on her palm, and a stream of light overflowed. The white and plump pearl was still as beautiful as yesterday.
Her smile is like a clear lake, pure and transparent.
"Happy birthday, Su. This is a special gift from Ariel for you."
The author has something to say:
Step by step, the stalks laid out should be taken back carefully, and then continue to put more stalks and smoke~
