Chapter 23 Don’t Touch My Fish Tail!

In the afternoon, Ye Junqing had lunch with a few friends who raced horses at the racecourse. He drank some wine and took a nap for half an hour.

A little mermaid leisurely swam into his dream…

The bathtub in his dream was neither too big nor too small. The little mermaid was moving around inside, looking very aggrieved, as if she wasn’t satisfied with the size of the bathtub.

However, the mermaid’s tail was really beautiful. It was golden-blue in color and was shining with pearly white glitters. Under the light, her voluptuous tail swayed gently in the bathtub like a soft feather, moving his heart again and again… However, the little mermaid didn’t seem to notice him in the bathroom and was still complaining pitifully. “It would be great if I could return to the island. I can swim freely in the sea at night, and when I look up, I can see the sky full of stars… If not, it’ll also do if I have a large swimming pool. Make a starry roof, so the starlight can shine down. I can pretend to be in the sea…”

In the dream, he saw her tail raise up clearly. Countless small white water droplets slid down like a water curtain…

He couldn’t restrain himself and wanted to grab the mermaid’s tail, but it suddenly swung over and slapped his face.

Unwilling to give up, he reached out to grab the mermaid’s tail again, but the mermaid turned around to glare at him. He saw her face clearly. It was the size of a palm and was covered in tears…

He heard her crying in his dream. At first, her voice was unclear, but the more he dreamed, the more realistic her cries became. Every cry she made moved his heart and soul. He wanted to help her wipe her tears away, but before he could reach out his hand, it was slapped away…

He wished he could use the most beautiful thing in the world to comfort her and to make her stop crying, but she cried harder and harder.

The more she cried, the more flustered he became. He was so flustered that he didn’t know what to do.

She was still crying. She said as she cried, “Let me go! Let me go! Even if all the men in the world are dead, I won’t fall in love with you. Let me go and don’t touch my fish tail!”

“Master Qing? Master Qing?” Ye Junqing suddenly woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, the small face covered in tears turned into Fu Zuo’s huge face that was close to him.

“Master Qing, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Although Ye Junqing was awake, his mood hadn’t recovered from the dream. Hearing Fu Zuo’s words, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes. There was really a moist liquid on his finger. Was this the tears of the little mermaid in his dream?

“Master Qing, what dream did you have? You… cried in your dream!” Fu Zuo was doubting his own eyes. When he saw tears rolling down from the corners of Master Qing’s eyes after he fell asleep with his own eyes, he thought that he was hallucinating. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to wake Master Qing from his dream.

“Master Qing, are you alright?”

Ye Junqing sat up from the armchair and calmed down expressionlessly for a while. Then, he got up and walked towards the bathroom, making an explanation lazily. “There might be sand in my eyes. Make an appointment with an ophthalmologist for me when you’re free.”

After entering the washroom and closing the door, Ye Junqing’s handsome face darkened slightly as he stood in front of the glass sink.

He stood in front of the mirror and endured the pain in his heart. He asked someone, “Even if all the men in the world are dead, you won’t fall in love with me? Then, Ye Xingguang, why did you still provoke me?”

I don’t want that…

Make you cry again.

I don’t want that…

I don’t know what to do to comfort you.

I don’t want…

My heart that I finally put away… to be moved by you again.
