Chapter 20 Chapter 19 This is our choice

If our hug can only be separated by thorns, then I am willing to hug him harder and harder!Even if the thorns pierced my skin and pierced my heart, as long as I can get closer to him, closer! When I regained consciousness and opened my eyes, I found myself in a laboratory, or operating room. I was wearing a white sleeveless long dress, lying flat on an operating bed, the shadowless lamp above my head was shining on me, and there were all kinds of knives and surgical instruments on the sterile table not far away. Can start disembowelling me. For a moment, I was very confused and didn't understand why I was in the operating room.Am I sick?Immediately afterwards, I remembered the reason why Violet and I were unconscious.

I was terrified and wanted to jump off the operating bed immediately, but found that my body was weak and I couldn't exert any strength at all.I struggled for a while before I stumbled and rolled from the operating table to the ground. I stared at the door that represented the escape, and struggled to crawl towards the door. Suddenly, the door was opened, and Wu Jingjing walked in wearing a white coat. Seeing that I was not on the operating table but on the ground, she froze for a moment and hurried towards me. I struggled back in horror. Wu Jingjing stopped in her tracks. She said anxiously, "I'm sorry! I thought you were still asleep, but I forgot that you have a mermaid spirit in your body, so I can't look at it with a normal person's physique."

I had already retreated to the corner, and there was no way out, but I slowly calmed down. I looked up at Wu Jingjing and said sarcastically, "Sorry for what? Sorry, are you going to cut me open?" Wu Jingjing's expression was very embarrassed, and she slowly squatted down on the ground, reducing the sense of condescension to me.She said: "Grandma did think so. When she sent me to the island, she said to me, 'That kind of magical love is too illusory, we must prepare for another course of action'. I'm seeing you In the first meeting, I didn't feel good, and I feel very sorry!"

I didn't expect her to be so frank. I stared blankly at her for a moment, and remembered the night I met Wu Jingjing for the first time. She pointed to the conch on the table and said: "Beside the king of heaven stands the queen, who looks like Ehuang Nvying and Shuangshu Banjun, but do you know that the king of heaven's red conch eats the queen's phoenix conch?" I thought this comment What Conch said was to me, but I didn't expect that she actually said it to Wu Julan.She was tactfully lobbying Wu Julan—on the food chain, it is normal for one creature to take the life of another.

No wonder Wu Julan said abnormally at the dinner table: "I officially declare that Shen Luo is my woman. From now on, if anyone has any bad intentions against her, I will severely punish them. Please think carefully before taking action." Can you bear my anger?" At that time, I only thought Wu Julan's words were thunderous and embarrassing, but now I realize that his words have deep meaning, he is not only warning Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan, but also warning Wu Violet behind Jingjing and Wu Jingjing. It turned out that I thought it was a warm and romantic dinner where new and old friends met. There were six people at a table. Except for Jiang Yisheng and me, the other four people were not thinking about the dinner at all, and they didn't feel the atmosphere was warm and romantic at all.

What a sarcasm! I asked bitterly, "What do you want to do to me now?" Wu Jingjing was silent for a moment, and said, "Grandma hopes that you can return the Mermaid Lingzhu to Regulus." I glanced at the scalpel on the sterile table and asked, "Are you confident that you can take back the Lingzhu by force?" "Thousands of years have passed since the story of "The Little Mermaid", and the knowledge and technology of witches have improved a lot. However, we have never done this, just a theoretical confidence. Grandma wants The best solution, of course, is that you can agree to it willingly."

It seems that their plan is that it is best for me to agree, and if I don't agree, they don't mind forcibly cutting my body open.I said, "Does Wu Julan know what you're doing?" Wu Jingjing didn't answer my question directly, but asked instead: "What do you think?" I sat on the ground with my back against the wall, silent without saying a word. Wu Julan definitely knew what Wu Jingjing and the others were planning, but from the very beginning, he warned Wu Jingjing sternly.He even brought me to New York specially, arranged a grand reception, knelt down to propose marriage in public, and held a rather formal engagement ceremony, probably to let Violet and the others recognize me and not mess around.

I remembered what he said to Violet and the others: "Shen Luo is my chosen life partner. From today onwards, we share all the glory that life gives, and all the suffering that life brings." At that time, I was deeply touched by this sentence, but until today, I did not fully understand the significance behind this sentence. With tears in my eyes, I laughed. Seeing my expression, Wu Jingjing slightly twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Fortunately, I dispelled grandma's thoughts early on and told her that it is absolutely impossible to deceive you. This is the boss's wish."

I asked, "Aren't you afraid that Wu Julan will get angry when you treat me like this?" Wu Jingjing stared at me with a complicated expression, "Scared! But...we have no choice!" I said, "Where is Wu Julan now? Jiang Yisheng's test results should have come out!" Wu Jingjing stood up without saying a word. She went to the operating table, pressed a button, and the shutters slowly rose, and I realized that the entire wall was made of glass. I was a little baffled. I didn't know why she opened the curtains and stared impatiently at Wu Jingjing who was standing in front of the glass wall.However, when the blinds were halfway up, I dimly saw the tail of a fish with a magnificent blue color like Kashmir sapphire, swaying gently in the water waves.

Wu Julan! I never thought that I would see his mermaid form in a house on land. I almost screamed out, and immediately used my hands and feet to quickly climb to the glass wall. The whole room is a rectangular container with three walls of solid metal and the wall facing us is glass, much like those huge fish tanks in the marine life museum that keep sharks. The "fish tank" is about four meters high, and there is three meters deep sea water inside.Wu Julan's lower body was soaked in the water, her slender and huge blue fishtail rippling gently with the water waves like a beautiful blue satin.His upper body was floating on the water, his head was drooping weakly, and he was obviously in a coma.The blue-black hair fluttered down, half covering his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Iron chains were wrapped around his arms, and his arms were forced to open, like the suffering gods in ancient Greek mythology, being pulled into a "cross" shape.One end of eight thick iron chains was fixed to the upper and lower corners of the room, and the other end was tightly wound around his body, like a huge spider web, locking Wu Julan tightly. How dare they do this to Wu Julan? ! Anger spewed out like a volcanic eruption, and I stood up suddenly.I threw myself on Wu Jingjing, trying to strangle her to death. Wu Jingjing didn't resist, and said hoarsely, "We... just follow the boss's order." I roared angrily: "Wu Julan will order you to treat him like this? No matter how you treat me, I can understand. After all, you are doing it for Wu Julan's good! But if you dare to hurt him, I will drag you to die together even if I die." !" Wu Jingjing's eyes were full of tears, "Jiang Yisheng is like his father, the probability of hereditary psychosis is 89%." I was stunned, 89%?This probability simply means that Jiang Yisheng will definitely become a lunatic! Wu Jingjing's tears rolled down her cheeks, she said: "The boss had to restore the form of a mermaid in order to treat Jiang Yisheng's illness. After the boss's treatment, Jiang Yisheng's disease probability can be controlled below 6%." On the one hand, I was happy for Jiang Yisheng, on the other hand I was even more angry, and asked sarcastically: "Is this your way of repaying? Or, it was your plan from the beginning, you used Jiang Yisheng's illness to lure Wu Julan into your trap? Jiang Yisheng Just one of your bait?" Wu Jingjing stared into my eyes, and said word by word: "Shen Luo, I love Jiang Yisheng, just like you love the boss! We really are the boss's order to do this!" I believed what she said, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding her neck. I was lying on the glass wall, staring at Wu Julan intently. There were no lights on inside, the only source of light was the light from our side.Through the glass wall, Wu Julan was faintly illuminated.His skin was unusually fair, but the iron chains that wrapped around him were dark brown.In the rippling water, the light and shadow flickered, and those iron chains seemed to have turned into countless poisonous snakes, entangled and strangled him. I heard my own voice sound lightly: "What's going on? Why did he do this to himself?" Wu Jingjing said: "The boss overused his mental power in order to treat Jiang Yisheng's illness. Just like a person who overuses his muscles will inevitably suffer from muscle strain and strain, the boss is now enduring the pain of excessive use of mental power. It's just that this pain is far stronger than we imagined. The boss is afraid that he will destroy the laboratory if he loses control, so let us lock him with the hardest titanium alloy chain." I muttered to myself: "Excessive use of mental power?" Wu Julan must have had a fierce struggle before. The parts of his body covered with scales were better, but the front half of his body without scales was almost torn to pieces by the chains. Violet's voice sounded behind me: "The mermaid's spiritual power is closely related to his spirit orb. It should be difficult for a mermaid who has lost his soul orb to use his spiritual power. I never thought that Regulus could use the mermaid's singing voice. Even with the full moon's Help, he should have endured a lot of pain that night to complete this thing that was already beyond his ability. In fact, with the power of Regulus, he could kill everyone directly and never have any future troubles. But , just because you are a human being, he doesn’t want you to be mentally burdened, so he would rather bear the horrible pain by himself. Just like now, just because Jiang Yisheng is someone you care about, Regulus will save him at all costs.” I looked at Wu Julan, who was heavily chained and bruised all over, tears welled up in my eyes, I couldn't help but slapped the glass wall, and cursed in a low voice, "What a fool!" Violet said: "In our eyes, Regulus is still very strong, but in fact, as the most powerful race among mermaids, he is already very weak. Xiaoluo, you are willing to return the mermaid spirit beads in your body to me. Regulus?" I slowly turned around, leaning against the glass wall, looking at Violet. Violet said: "Anything you want to do but haven't done, we can do it for you! Your relatives are only father and mother, but your father and your mother already have their own happy families. Even without you, Their lives will not be affected in any way! In this world, you have nothing to worry about, you can leave peacefully! I guarantee you will not feel any pain, just like sleeping, you will sink into a peaceful and warm dream... " "Grandma!" Wu Jingjing couldn't bear it, and wanted to interrupt Violet's words. Violet ignored Wu Jingjing at all, but stared at me intently, and said persuasively, "Don't you love Regulus? Now is the moment when Regulus needs you to dedicate all your love!" The three words "I am willing" linger on the tip of my tongue, not because of Violet's witch-like lobbying, but because I am really willing.When I'm by the lake, clearing my mind, turning around and walking back to the apartment, I've made up my mind. "I……" Suddenly, I felt a shock coming from my back, and I turned my head immediately, and saw Wu Julan's long and huge blue fish tail beating up and down, making waves on the water surface.His body struggled violently, and the veins in his arms, which were held in the air by the chains, bulged, and even the sharp nails hidden in his fingers were exposed.The eight thick iron chains were pulled and trembled, and the whole room shook a little.He was like an angry beast, as if he was about to break free from his chains and pounce on him. I anxiously slapped the glass wall and shouted loudly: "Wu Julan, Wu Julan..." While skillfully operating the instrument, Wu Jingjing comforted me and said, "It's just another round of pain, and it will pass after a while." I lay down on the glass wall, watching Wu Julan nervously and worriedly, but I was powerless to deal with his pain. Violet stood beside me and said hurriedly: "Regulus should wake up soon. If you want to save him, you must make a decision as soon as possible! As long as you say 'yes', Regulus will no longer have to endure the painful torture! When he When you wake up again, you will regain all your strength. If you want to live in the sea, you can live in the sea; if you want to live on land, you can live on land. Don't you want Regulus to continue to live freely?" How could it be otherwise?I am willing to exchange everything I have for his happiness! But, he must have thought so too... I stared at Wu Julan who was bound by chains, and said to Violet: "You said 'love is the most magical magic in the world, it can make the selfish selfless, the cowardly brave, the greedy kind, and the cunning dull'. " "I said so!" "You're only right about one side of love. Love has another side. It makes the selfless selfish, the brave cowardly, the kind greedy, and the dull cunning." Violet stared at me in surprise as if she couldn't believe it, "What did you say?" I said: "When facing the person you love deeply, no matter how kind and selfless the person is, they will become greedy and selfish, unwilling to share, just want to monopolize, greedily want him to be good to you alone, and it is best to be better , a little better, the more the better; no matter how brave and stupid a person is, they will become cowardly and cunning, because they have worries and worries, and they will cowardly endure everything that could not be tolerated for the sake of their lover, and they will also become cowardly in love. became suspicious and suspicious." Violet asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?" "I want to say that your understanding of love is too self-righteous! Even if it is a desperate sacrifice, you have to ask the other party if he is willing to accept it! Otherwise, what you give may not be happiness, but resentment!" Violet glared at me viciously. I also stared at her fiercely, "Either you force me to submit now, or let me wait for Wu Julan to wake up! Even if I want to leave, I have to say goodbye to Wu Julan and make sure he accepts my choice. I will continue to live a good life, because I miss him and don't worry about him, I can't just leave him silently like this, this is my selfishness and cowardice!" Violet stared at me for a while, her eyes gradually filled with tears.Suddenly, she bent down and bowed deeply to me, "We never dare to violate Regulus' choice, please forgive me for everything I have done!" After she finished speaking, she turned around immediately and walked away quickly. I looked at Wu Jingjing in surprise. Violet gave up on disembowelling me?Let me go so easily? Wu Jingjing smiled with tears in her eyes, and said: "The boss has warned us repeatedly, and even warned grandma once before treating Jiang Yisheng. You are the life partner chosen by the boss, and grandma will never dare to hurt you. , she just induces you to issue the order yourself, and she is the executor of the order." My legs gave way, and I fell to my knees along the glass wall. Inside the glass wall, Wu Julan also calmed down. I pressed my face against the glass wall, staring at him obsessively. His arms were dragged in the air by the iron chains, his body leaned forward, his head was drooping weakly, he looked very calm and peaceful, without any violent look just now. Wu Jingjing looked at the various data on the instrument and said, "The boss should be waking up soon, but it will take some time before he can return to his human body." I said, "Can I go in? I want to go in and be with him!" Wu Jingjing hesitated for a moment and agreed to my request. I swam into the "big fish tank" through the water injection pipe. When he swam closer, the wound on Wu Julan's body could be seen more clearly, it was very hideous and frightening.Although I know that he has a unique physique, the speed of wound recovery can be said to be against the sky.However, I still feel very heartbroken, wishing I could slap him awake and ask him why he couldn't think of another way. I took out the potion that Wu Jingjing had prepared for me, and sprinkled it on his wound little by little. While I wanted to float on the water, I had to pay attention to avoid Wu Julan's body, lest I accidentally pull the chain and strangle him even more painfully. However, this is after all in the water, and the simple action of applying the medicine became more and more strenuous, and my body sank uncontrollably little by little. Suddenly, I felt my body lighten, and I stood firmly in the water as if I were standing on land. This feeling is very familiar, I looked down, and it turned out to be Wu Julan's fishtail.The flatly spread tail fin is like a huge powerful palm, supporting my feet and lifting me up. Wu Julan woke up? ! I looked at him immediately, and he slowly raised his head and slowly opened his eyes. When most people just wake up from a coma, there will always be a moment of confusion, but Wu Julan's eyes are clear and his expression is firm, as if he has never been in a coma.However, there was fear in his blue eyes, and he stared at me eagerly, as if I would disappear at any time. I was worried that he would be strangled by the chain again, so I frowned and said, "Let me go!" But he swung his fishtail and directly engulfed me. At the same time, he grabbed the iron chain with both hands, trying to get me closer to him.Fortunately, Wu Jingliang untied the chains in time with understanding, and only heard a few crisp sounds of "click, click", and all eight iron chains were loosened. I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wanted to help him untie the iron chains wrapped around his body, but he ignored the iron chains on his body, but as soon as his hands were free, he put one arm around my back and the other He pressed my head and kissed me hard. I struggled subconsciously a few times, but he forcefully pried open my lips brutally, rushed straight into my mouth, and licked my tongue with his rough tongue.When I was almost breathless by his kiss, he let me go, but he was still a little manic, and kept kissing my ears and neck. I vaguely understood his abnormality, put my arms around his neck, and whispered softly in his ear: "I'm here, I'm here, I didn't promise Violet..." Wu Julan finally calmed down gradually.He freed one hand to untie the iron chain on his body, tugging almost rudely, completely indifferent to his wound. But, I care! I grabbed his hand, "Don't move, I'll do it!" He supported me and floated quietly in the water. I lowered my head and carefully helped him untie the chain. Occasionally, when my strength was weak, he would give me a hand and help me share most of the weight. I didn't look up at him until I undid all the chains on him. The four eyes met, and there were too many emotions in the eyes of the two of them, and they fell into a weird silence.I wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start, and he probably couldn't speak yet. In this closed and dark space, the whole world shrunk down to just me and him, and the changes in the world, the ebb and flow, seemed to belong to another world far away. I stroked his face lightly and brushed all his wet hair back. I caressed his eyes, and the stars flowed slowly in his eyes; I stroked his nose, and the morning breeze blew slowly through his nostrils; I stroked his lips, and he opened his mouth with a sharp The teeth bit me tenderly! If you can, just hide it in your arms, bite it in your mouth, and don't let go! never let go... I hooked his neck and whispered with tears in my eyes, "Hold tighter." He wrapped his entire fishtail around me, wrapping his arms around my back.Like a silkworm baby wrapped in a cocoon, I was held tightly in his arms. I said, "Tighten it up!" He strangled me harder and harder, causing pain all over my body, but we still wanted to push harder, wishing to embed ourselves directly into each other's body. I closed my eyes and wanted to hug him like this until time turned to ashes and the world into nothingness. After a long time, Wu Julan's voice suddenly sounded. "Little snail?" I moved slightly to show that I heard it. He asked, "Violet told you everything?" I nod. He said, "I'm very happy that you didn't promise Violet!" As I expected, he overheard the conversation between Violet and me. He said: "Even if Violet doesn't tell you, I will tell you everything. I just want you to have more carefree time, so I keep procrastinating. I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask me now, I'll explain it all to you." I raised my head, stared at him and asked, "Do you love me?" He said without hesitation, "Love!" I smiled and snuggled into his arms again. He froze, and asked hesitantly, "You...do you have any other questions?" I shake my head. He said, "Aren't you angry?" I shake my head. In the early morning of that first meeting, when he saw me for the first time, his purpose was not pure, and he even had murderous thoughts.However, it doesn't matter how things started, what matters is the process and results.I clearly felt his love, and I knew my love for him.I don't want to waste our time dwelling on a beginning, especially since our time may already be limited... I called softly: "Wu Julan!" He responded softly, "Huh?" "I am willing to give you everything I have, including my life." Wu Julan smiled and said, "I know! I always...know!" "Have you made your choice?" "Ok!" "You..." My tongue was trembling, and I tried my best to make my voice sound normal, "You really can't... watch me grow old and ugly?" "Sorry!" "Heh... that's pretty good too! You can only remember my most beautiful appearance!" I smiled with twitching muscles, trying to lift the weight a little more lightly, so as not to add to the already heavy grief. However, tears welled up in my eyes involuntarily. It turned out that he was sitting by my bed, staring at my sick sleeping face, and the three sketches he carefully drew stroke by stroke were not so delicate and lifelike because he wanted to hurt me.It's because that's the desire deep in his heart that he most desires to be fulfilled. Thousands of years of long life span, but I can no longer have a few short decades to take care of me getting old and weak. I tried my best not to cry in front of him, but I couldn't.Tears flowed down my cheeks, falling one by one like broken pearls, and fell on his neck. Wu Julan quietly hugged me who was crying silently. From the day I knew his identity, I have been struggling with how my short life should accompany his long life.I always thought that it was because of this reason that he rejected me again and again, but now I understand that there are other reasons for his cruel rejection again and again. It's not that my life is limited, but he chose to make his life limited! How could he be so cruel to himself? If my skin was a little thinner and my actions a little hesitant, would he disappear forever like the Little Mermaid without explaining anything? However, the prince doesn't love mermaids, but I love him! How could he let me be so ignorant after breaking my heart that I didn't even know what I had lost. How could he be so cruel to me? All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, and they are densely entwined into my heart like a spider web, strangled me, and made me feel so painful that I was about to faint. I opened my mouth suddenly and bit his shoulder hard. Wu Julan stood motionless in the water, without avoiding or defending himself, allowing me to bite into his flesh heavily, and gently stroking my back with one hand to soothe my pain. My mouth was full of blood, watching the deep red spread down from his shoulders little by little, dyeing the water surface into carmine. Tears rolled down my face, I lay on his shoulder, and wept bitterly. I really understand now, that starry night, his three questions. "This is your choice?" "Even if it will bring you pain?" "Even if it will bring me pain?" He questioned not only me, but himself.The life and death he forced me to think about did not mean that I left him, but that he left me. Wu Julan stroked my back and said, "I know very well that the one who gives needs courage, and the one who accepts needs courage even more! I'm sorry!" I cried and shook my head, I don't need to be sorry, and I am not sorry! One cold, pebble-like thing after another fell on my cheeks and neck.At first, I didn't pay attention until a few rolled down my cheeks and fell to his neck. Is it... pearl? I raised my head in surprise, and saw a white pearl oozing out of his eyes, sliding down slowly along his cheeks, glistening like a falling star, slowly disappearing into the sky. skyrim.His originally clear and beautiful blue gem-like eyes gradually turned black like thick ink, and the pupils could not be seen at all, just like the dark sky where all the stars had been destroyed. There was no light, only sadness remained. I reached out and touched his eyes in a panic, trying to stop his tears.While trying to smile, I said incoherently: "Don't be sad! Don't be sad... You know, I have a thick skin, thicker than a turtle shell, and I'm not afraid of anything! I'm really not afraid of anything! Don't worry about me, You see you hit me so hard, I can be resurrected with full blood in a blink of an eye, I am a weird little monster who resists blows... I just cried just to vent, and I will be fine after venting! I am strong, really strong Can I chase you, an old monster, if I am not strong? Don’t worry, I will be fine, I will be fine, and I will live a better life than when you were here..." The more I talked, the more quickly the pearls rolled down one after another.My tears fell again unknowingly. I closed my mouth, silently and tenderly kissed Wu Julan's lips. Wu Julan said, "I'm sorry!" I smiled and shook my head, sorry for what? I'm sorry did you choose to love me?Sorry did you choose to let me live? If it's your choice, it's my choice. I looked at the pearls that fell on us one after another, and with tears in my eyes, I smiled and said, "This is my choice! Even if it brings me pain, even if it brings you pain!" Love is exactly the same as life, always with flowers and thorns.If my love is a flower, I am willing to embrace its beauty and fragrance; if my love is a thorn, I will not hesitate to embrace its sharp pain. Because, when I hugged flowers, it was Wu Julan who planted the beautiful fragrance for me with his sweetness and smile; when I hugged thorns, his whole chest was already covered with thorns watered with his own blood. If our hug can only be separated by thorns, then I am willing to hug him harder and harder!Even if the thorns pierced my skin and pierced my heart, as long as I can get closer to him, closer!
