The person who should have thought about it carefully is Shi Jiu, but Jin Xiaoji has been obsessed and lost consciousness for a long time.
Shi Jiu probably said something later, but she didn't listen much. She didn't even know when Shi Jiu paid for that piece of clothing, when he walked out of that store, or how she got home. When she regained consciousness, she was already standing at the doorstep.
The light was on inside, but there was no movement. Xiao Ji pushed open the door and saw that food had already been arranged on the table, but her cousin was not in the living room and she didn't know where he had gone.
Jin Xiaoji quickly finished her meal, tidied up her dishes, and waited for a while, but her cousin still didn't show up.
If it were in the past, she might have let him go, after all, he was much older than he looked and didn't need her own advice. But today's situation is different, she has many things to discuss with him, including school matters.
My cousin is staying in the guest room, and there is still a light on inside. The first time I opened his room, an indescribable strange aura suddenly came towards me. This kind of strangeness does not mean that the room has a strange smell, on the contrary, the room is very refreshing and clean, as clean as if no one has ever lived in it.
But my cousin has been staying at his own house for more than a day or two, watching him enter through this door every day. It would be strange if there was no one living in the room, but when Jin Xiaoji approached and examined the mattress, she truly discovered the strange place in this room.
The light blue silk was neatly placed at the head of the bed, and there was also a sponge pillow pressed on top of the blanket. The pillow and blanket were bought by their family when they first moved here, so Xiaoji was very impressed by it, and because she was deeply impressed, she saw something was wrong at a glance.
After her parents left, she cleaned this room several times. Because she happened to be in military training during that time, she unconsciously became accustomed to using the method of stacking military blankets to tidy up the room.
And now this blanket is clearly the same as it was at that time, without touching a single edge or corner, which is impossible for a cousin who came from another place to know. Therefore, he really hasn't slept in this room.
But where can he sleep if he doesn't sleep here? Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xiaoji began to search the room for any traces he might have left behind, but apart from a chair that had been sat on before, nothing else had been touched. However, there was one strange thing, which was that the window of this room, which was usually closed, was now open.
Xiao Ji never thought that the November night breeze would be warm and charming, so when the night breeze made the window rustle, she would immediately rush to the window and look down.
Below is her backyard. I usually plant some flowers and plants, but now it's late autumn and the flowers and plants have already wilted. In addition, there is a large pool in the middle of the flowers and plants. My dad likes to keep some goldfish in it, and the ones he raises are all as smart as spirits, so she has always liked that place.
But today when she looked at the pool again, her three souls and six spirits were instantly scared away. She saw the usually calm surface of the pool rippling with water, and upon closer inspection, a wet head emerged from inside.
That idiot, won't he look at what month it is now? Don't choose to take a shower or winter swim in his fish pond!
The body started moving at the first moment, and since there were no outsiders around, Xiaoji skillfully climbed up the window, then lifted her gaze and jumped down. When she landed, her body still maintained a mysterious balance. Although she hadn't done this for a long time, the feeling of training in the mountains as a child still lingered, making her appear like a big bird in front of Jin Xiaohuan.
The black head floated and swayed heavily, and between the seaweed like wet hair, the golden eyes slowly opened: "Why are you here
This sentence should be me asking you, if you want to swim, don't choose here. This is dad's fish pond
The parties involved actually had no self-awareness at all. Jin Xiaoji felt a sense of powerlessness, knowing the cold of the pool water. She was almost impatient to drive people away, but as soon as she walked in, the water around Xiaohuan immediately shook in a circle, as if something was stirring underwater.
I didn't swim, I just... "After a moment of silence, Xiao Huan swam forward a bit, revealing half of his dark neck, but his neck was still submerged in water, blocked by his black hair, and he couldn't see anything.
Don't be that way, come out quickly. I can't save you when you're sick
There is a difference between humans and demons, and Jin Xiaoji knew this from a young age because she had a very strange illness at a very young age. She went to many hospitals but was not taken seriously. Instead, she underwent blood tests and was almost locked up like a rare animal by those doctors.
In the end, I don't know what my mom and dad came up with, but they actually took a bunch of strange pills from a mysterious place, stuffed them all into their mouths, and then they recovered from their illness. Now thinking back, that mysterious place must have been a different world. They actually kept it a secret from them for over a decade before letting her know.
It's okay, there are water dragon balls planted by Silver Elder in the pool. I'm safe here
Dad did indeed plant some aquatic plants under this pond, some of which could even produce beautiful red fruits. However, Dad didn't say whether those fruits were called Water Dragon Balls or not, and Little Ji didn't ask either. But now we only know that they were used by Jin Xiaohuan.
I don't know if it was because he had been soaking in it for a long time or if he had hallucinations. Jin Xiaoji always felt that her cousin was a bit silly now, with a silly smile on his face and his arms paddling like children.
He had already become like this, but he still stayed in the water and couldn't come out. As a last resort, Jin Xiaoji had no choice but to take the final measure. She stood by the pool, pretending to be loud and rolling up her sleeves. Taking advantage of Jin Xiaohuan's lack of knowledge, she fished towards him like a fish.
In our family, you have to look like a family member. I can't just watch you catch a cold and get sick. I'll give you the red beads you want when it's dawn, but now you have to come out for me
With that sound, Jin Xiaoji had accurately grabbed her cousin's arm, and then exerted force around her waist to forcefully pull him out.
You should know that although Jin Xiaohuan has become a young and inexperienced boy, he is still a man, and he is still immersed in water. Therefore, the huge traction made Xiaoji stunned for a moment, and then she almost fell in with him with a ball under her feet.
But at this critical moment, the cousin swam back with quick eyes and hands. His arm, which was being held by Xiao Ji, was pushed upwards. Xiao Ji was stable, but most of his body was also exposed from underwater.
My cousin underwater is still naked, which Jin Xiaoji had already guessed, so she had been afraid to look around before. But just now, in a hurry of action, when her cousin helped her, I accidentally glanced below his waist and met the strange thing. My body suddenly froze like an electric shock.
My cousin's leg, to be precise, should be my cousin's tail. Its tail is pure black, with scales like fish on it. The scales emit a cold green light in the moonlight, and at first glance, it looks like a mermaid in a fairy tale world.
Mermaid
She may be a mermaid or a sea woman, but my sister is the only female mermaid
Seeing that she had already been hit by someone, Jin Xiaohuan simply lifted her tail and floated on the water for Xiaoji to take a closer look. He explained while posing in various ways, making his body completely in front of her.
Monster, it turns out that this is true happiness. Seeing it firsthand is far more shocking than just knowing it exists.
Xiaoji didn't know how to express her feelings in words anymore. Great sadness and joy flowed through her heart, but in the end, it turned into an immense emptiness and confusion. Her body trembled slightly because it was cold. One day, she too would become a different person, and it was hard to say whether she would still be a normal human.
Perhaps becoming a mermaid would make her more sensitive. Little Ji's melon fell completely into her cousin's eyes. He turned over and sank underwater, only revealing his golden eyes.
What's wrong? Are you okay
It's nothing, just a little surprised
Surprised? Oh, by the way, Elder Silver hasn't told you this secret, so you don't know
Jin Tong suddenly blinked mischievously, and Jin Xiaohuan showed a childish smile that did not match his actual age, but fortunately his words and actions were still normal, otherwise Xiao Ji would have thought that his personality was split.
Are you sure you have no problem living in the water
No problem, as long as I eat enough Dragon Ball, I will live like a normal person for several more days
Okay, then you can eat slowly here and come out when you're full, "Xiao Ji sighed silently. Finally, she accepted the fact in front of her." You'll be resting at home for the next two days, and I've made plans with friends to go out tomorrow
I'll go too
As expected, upon hearing these words, my cousin was about to jump out of the water. But Jin Xiaoji was already prepared and sat down by the pool holding down his arm, then explained to him seriously the reason why they couldn't go together.
Don't worry, I haven't reached that day yet, so nothing will happen. And you know, our eye color is really special, it's easy to be suspected with you together. Besides, although my abilities are not as good as yours, I can definitely protect myself
She has been holding back these words in her heart for a long time, but she has never had the opportunity to say them to him at school. Perhaps it's the same between two worlds. Dad's orders have become the only imperial decree, and my cousin fulfills his duty to protect himself. He can ignore the opinions of others, but he can't. Here, she should only be an ordinary person.
Perhaps it was his sincerity that moved him, or perhaps he had other plans. Surprisingly, his cousin did not refute him. Little Ji saw a dim light slowly flowing in his eyes, and then quietly, little by little, sank into the water like an ordinary fish.
