67, extra four(1/2)
When Li Xuan was born, the mermaid clan had withered. There were less than a hundred ordinary mermaids, while the royal mermaids... were only him and his father left.
His father was in a strong relationship with his mother at that time. He often held him in front of the threshold of the palace and said enthusiastically: "Baby, my father must give birth to a few more brothers and sisters for you to strengthen our mermaid royal family."
Li Xuan was born with a weak relationship and could not understand his father's mood. He just said "Oh" lightly.
Then, his father grabbed the fish's tail and picked it up and patted it twice.
"At a young age, don't pretend to be deep."
Li Xuan looked at his father in confusion. Even so, his expression was still indifferent. His silver-gray pupils were born with a sense of alienation, as if he could not be interested in anyone.
Seeing this, the young Aquaman couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Not long after, my mother was really pregnant again, and Li Xuan's father was very happy. But during an interstellar voyage, an accident occurred in the spacecraft and his mother failed to survive.
That day, my father was in a daze and brought back his mother's body, and a mermaid egg with a thin and soft eggshell.
Li Xuan's heart was sore for a long time when he knew his mother passed away, but at that time, he didn't know that this was sad.
"This is your sister." The young Aquaman said to his son with red eyes, "Help your father take care of her."
The mermaid eggs that were born prematurely soft and difficult to survive. Li Xuan used his space power to seal the soft little fish egg into the small space and sealed the time flow rate in the small space, so that the eggs stayed for the time they were just born.
He thought that he could wait until his medical level could be developed to cure the little fish eggs before taking them out.
My father couldn't accept the fact that his mother died early. After a few years, he finally couldn't stand it and followed his mother.
This is actually the fate of many royal mermaids.
Li Xuan couldn't quite understand, nor did he understand his father.
The mother is an ordinary mermaid and cannot live forever. This is a fact that my father has known for a long time. Even if that accident did not happen, the mother will leave them one day. Since she has known for a long time, why is it still so uncomfortable?
"This is love." The elderly turtle told him.
"Love?" Li Xuan was puzzled.
Sometimes, he also hates that he does not understand feelings.
After his parents passed away one after another, Li Xuan suddenly felt that time had begun to grow long, but at that time, he did not understand feelings, ties, or melancholy or lonely, and did not feel difficult.
There is no government affairs in Haiguo that he needs to deal with. Most of the time every day, he will be sitting alone. Because the Aquaman in the past often chose to sleep forever due to boredom, this led to the Haiguo forming a system that can operate normally without a king.
After a hundred years of such a life, Li Xuan finally got bored and declared himself to have eternal sleep.
The first time I saw Yue Qingci was when I was awakened after sleeping forever.
At that time, the white dolphin that awakened him said tremblingly that he was the new prime minister of the Hai Kingdom, but Li Xuan's eyes fell on the black-haired young man next to him.
The young man looked very beautiful, and his eyes looked at him were stunning and awe, but his smile was clean and warm.
Seeing this, Bai Guoxiang hurriedly introduced the identity and purpose of the young man. Li Xuan soon learned that this young man was the commander of the human and orc coalition coalition, and came to Haiguo to ask him to help deal with the Zerg.
Prime Minister Bai said carefully: "Your Majesty, in fact... many people of the sea countries are also suffering from the ravages of the Zerg."
Li Xuan withdrew his gaze that fell on the young man and said lightly: "I understand."
Perhaps his expression was too indifferent, Yue Qingci thought he wanted to refuse, so he was busy persuading him to "moving him with emotion and explaining him with reason".
Yue Qingci didn't know that Li Xuan was born indifferent and it was difficult to empathize. Li Xuan actually didn't feel anything about what he said.
But Li Xuan thought he was very interesting. He was obviously the supreme commander of the coalition forces and should be calm, calm, and have the majesty of a superior. But in front of Li Xuan, this young commander was a little cramped and even nervous.
Li Xuan turned his head and asked strangely: "Is this the same thing when you commanded the coalition?"
Yue Qingci was slightly stunned, thinking that the powerful Aquaman was questioning his strength. In order to prove that the coalition forces are worthy of cooperation, Yue Qingci thought for a while and decided to talk to him about the coalition's tactics and experience of fighting the Zerg.
When talking about the areas you are good at, Yue Qingci was calm and confident, and his eyes seemed to be shining.
Li Xuan lived for hundreds of years and became the king for hundreds of years, but he never led his troops to fight. He couldn't help but find it interesting and listened to it.
Perhaps he thought Yue Qingci was interesting, or perhaps he lived too long and was too bored, and wanted to find something for himself, so Li Xuan finally agreed to Yue Qingci's request and went to sea to help the coalition forces.
This is not the first time Li Xuan has left Haixing, but it is definitely the most different experience.
In the sea kingdom, his people raised him up as a god, and he was used to not communicating with others.
But the more clear the different, the more clear the more clear the more he knows, and he also teaches him a lot. The other party is very observant and has a sense of awe at first, but over time, he can always guess his thoughts as soon as possible.
During the process of getting along, Yue Qingci gradually discovered that this seemingly indifferent and powerful Majesty the Sea King was actually pure and simple.
He seemed to be very ignorant of feelings and did not understand the world. He always kept a distance from everything with a mask of alienation.
But Yue Qingci knew that he was actually curious.
Once, Yue Qing left the meeting and went home. He passed by Central Street and saw Li Xuan standing by the street coldly watching a couple quarrel.
Perhaps his vision was too "cold". The couple finally realized something was wrong while arguing. They turned their heads and glared at him, cursed "crazy", and then walked away hand in hand.
A hint of confusion appeared in Li Xuan's eyes, but it was still cold and cold.
Yue Qingci instantly understood what His Majesty the Sea was wondering, and couldn't help but laugh and think: Fortunately, he was wearing the Yi Rong mask, otherwise the couple would not be able to scold him.
Yue Qingci walked off the hover car and stepped forward to Li Xuan and said, "It was a couple just now, they were quarreling..."
Of course Li Xuan knew that they were lovers, but he just didn't understand why the two were still quarreling last second, but left hand in hand the next second.
Yue Qingci chuckled and explained: "Love is wonderful..."
Once again, they met a mother who protected her children on the battlefield...
In Li Xuan's memory, many things related to emotions were taught to him a little by little.
Gradually, he learned to smile, and his smile was as clean and warm as Yue Qingci, and he finally understood why his father could not accept his mother's departure.
Li Xuan didn't know whether this was good or bad, because after understanding it, he began to become afraid of losing like his father.
Yue Qingci sometimes asked Li Xuan jokingly: "I heard that mermaids can live forever. In hundreds of years, will Your Majesty still remember me?"
Li Xuanhui told him seriously: "Only royal mermaids can live forever."
Yue Qingci's eyes flashed slightly, and he said nervously expectantly: "Actually... what I want to ask is the second half."
Li Xuan stopped talking at this time, and Yue Qingci's eyes would be slightly lost, but he quickly concealed it and talked about other topics.
Yue Qingci didn't know that Li Xuan had been looking for ways to make humans live longer.
Li Xuan didn't know why he did this, he and Yue Qingci were just friends.
During a full-scale battle, Yue Qingci was seriously injured and his mental power was seriously damaged. Li Xuan used the method of spiritual integration to help him heal his wounds and accidentally discovered a method of symbiosis.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, as if the huge rock that had been pressing on his heart had been moved away.
During the period when they were recovering from the injury, their relationship became much closer than before.
After Yue Qingci recovered from his injuries, the coalition forces soon ushered in the final decisive battle with the Zerg.
The more Qing cited, if this battle failed, he might pass away and never see Li Xuan. If it succeeds, Li Xuan will return to Haiguo, and it will still be difficult to see him again.
Yue Qingci knew that he shouldn't have delusions about His Majesty the High Prince of Sea, but on the eve of the decisive battle, he couldn't help but ask with a hint of expectation: "Your Majesty, can we meet again when the war is won?"
Li Xuan looked at him strangely.
Yue Qingci paused and said, "I mean, can I go to Haiguo to see you often?"
Li Xuan asked back: "Why can't it?"
Yue Qingci smiled. He suddenly understood something, stepped forward, boldly held Li Xuan's hand, and asked, "Your Majesty, can I... call you A Xuan in the future?"
Li Xuan smiled, as warm as him, and said, "Of course."
Unfortunately, Yue Qingci failed to survive. When he was seriously injured and dying, he held his own hand to carve Li Xuan, but did not dare to give it out. He looked at the starry sky in a daze and murmured: "A Xuan, I... regret it..."
Regret makes you understand the feelings in the world.
Below him was a blood color that was constantly spreading. When Li Xuan arrived, he had lost his breath.
Li Xuan didn't know what he was feeling at that moment, but he only remembered that he had stood for a long time until the sky became dark and bright again.
Finally, he went forward silently, picked up the little fish jade pendant, and picked up Yue Qingci's cold body.
Mermaids are afraid of fire, but when they are cremated, Li Xuan is very close to him. The hot temperature makes his skin feel like it is dry and cracked, but he seems to have no feeling.
When the body was completely turned into ashes, Li Xuan, who had never shed tears, finally had a pearl fallen in his eyes.
Li Xuan bent down, picked up the pearl, polished it with his own hands, and embedded it into the eyes of the little fish jade pendant.
But what's the use? The person who gave the jade pendant is no longer there.
The senior coalition leaders who attended the funeral together sighed, but they didn't know that Li Xuan did not give up in the end.
He used his space power to remove Yue Qingci's brain from the air, sealing it in a small space where time stagnates like a soft-shelled egg left by his mother.
Later, Li Xuan returned to Haiguo and fell into eternal sleep again.
Thousands of years later, the soft-shelled egg hatched into the little princess of the sea country, and the little princess's child became the king of the empire again, but Yue Qingci's brain is still preserved.
As time goes by, standing in front of the cave where you saw Yue Qingci for the first time, Li Xuan sighed and felt a little sad.
"You are actually a selfish person." Li Xuan said softly, "Why did you pull me into the world and leave?"
Why teach him feelings but not accompany him?
"Maybe, I should have let it go, too." Li Xuan murmured at the cave.
