his mermaid

***

This is a high-end hair salon, and the bright and dazzling white lights in the shop make Yueguo extremely uncomfortable.

Yueguo and Yuehui are sitting on the couch, and the stylist is communicating with Yuehui.

In the eyes of the stylist, these are two young students, and the younger sister looks like a high school student, so he doesn't offer a plan that is too expensive until Yueguo takes out a golden Shirong bank card and says When I came here just now, I checked the balance and there were still about [-]. Afterwards, the stylist treated Yue Hui and Yue Guo completely differently, and turned directly to the most expensive catalog introduction.

They discussed for a while, Yue Hui turned to ask her brother:

"Hey, what do you think of this hairstyle? I think it suits you very well. Don't be too picky. It will take more than three hours to get it done."

Yuehui looked at the time on the watch. They deliberately chose eleven o'clock when the salon opened to do the styling. After a long time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Yue Guo nodded shyly. He was not used to spending money in this kind of store. Fortunately, he had his younger sister with him. Yue Hui knew a lot more about shopping and dressing than he did.

"Then can I have my hair permed too? There is an event in this shop today."

"That's not good."

Yuehui's shoulder-length hair would cost a few hundred yuan for a styling session, even if the discount was minimal.

What's more, the decoration of this store is very expensive at first glance.

"What's the matter? Didn't he say that this card and all the money in it will be given to you? I definitely can't spend much."

Yuehui said swearingly.

Last night, Yueguo went home to discuss with her.His classmate at school is having a birthday today and wants to invite him out to dinner, but he doesn't look like a date for a fancy restaurant.Yueguo usually wears a pilled sweater and has slightly long hair.So he took out a self-use bank card that was said to be "nearly obsolete", and had a little money left, and asked him to do a look and buy decent clothes.

Although it was contemptuous to do so, judging from Jiang Yaochen's family background and status, it was really worth dressing up if he wanted to go out to dinner with him, otherwise Jiang Yaochen would be ashamed to go in and out of that kind of occasion.

But in terms of fashion, Yueguo doesn't know much, so I came to ask my sister for advice.

To be honest, probably since high school, his sister has been helping him choose and make decisions about his clothes.Over time, he developed a habit of relying on her.

"Is it okay, brother." Yue Hui grabbed Yue Guo's hand, "You see my hair is really not looking good now, I want to curl it a little bit."

Under her sarcasm, Yue Guo could only say yes.

"I'd better tell him. After all, there is still so much money after the check just now. If there is any left, I will return it to him." Yue Guo looked very nervous.

"Oh, don't talk about it, just use it like this. For rich people, they don't care about this little money. Maybe it's intentional." Yuehui frowned.

At that time, Yuehui already knew about her brother's sexuality, although the other party was not her boyfriend, maybe she just wanted to pursue her brother before giving this card, it was definitely not a mistake.

In short, she just wanted to covet this small advantage for her brother, and her brother also said that the person asked him to buy decent clothes. Who knows if it will be expensive to buy clothes later, this little money might not be enough.

Soon, the stylist took them to wash their hair, Yuehui started to perm, and Yueguo started to cut their hair, and then they also did oil-baking, perming and dyeing.In terms of color, it is not much different from black, but slightly brownish. After styling, the hair is fluffy and somewhat curly.Men's hairstyles like this were very popular in those years, and the effect was surprisingly good, because Yueguo's three-dimensional facial features fully supported this hairstyle, and he looked very handsome. The stylist praised him a few words and told him how to match clothes .

Looking at himself in the mirror, it seems that because of the change in hairstyle, he has matured by two or three years.

Yuehui ran over briskly, made her hair slightly curled, and then admired the new hairstyle in the mirror with her brother.

"Brother, you are really beautiful."

"Really..." Yueguo thought shyly, he didn't dare to say it looked good, but he was quite satisfied.

"Okay, okay, let's go, it's getting late now." Yuehui hurried him to pay.

I stayed in the salon for more than three hours, it was past three o'clock, and I had to buy another set of clothes to wear to dinner, maybe it would be too late.

The responsibility of helping her brother choose clothes naturally fell on her own head, and she couldn't wait to go to the discount market to buy cheap goods.

They soon came to a nearby shopping mall and entered several men's clothing stores that looked very suitable from the outside.

Because it is in English, Yueguo doesn't know what the brand is, nor does it understand the fashion in it.

After two hours of selection and shopping, Yueguo's whole body, from shirts, sweaters and coats to trousers and shoes, was completely new, as if he was a men's model.

Yuehui felt that she was standing next to her brother, like his assistant, and she was dressed very rustic.But she is very happy, because she chose all these for her brother. She usually sees many pictures of Korean stars and understands some men's clothing collocations by ear.

"Now, you can finally go to eat." Yue Hui took Yue Guo to the entrance of the mall, "It's already 05:30, you should take a taxi."

The appointed time for dinner that day was six o'clock.Yueguo had a premonition that he would be late, and if he took a taxi, he should barely make it in time, but before that, he had to take a taxi for Yuehui to go home to ensure her safety.

After Yuehui got into a taxi first, there was a clicking sound on the glass panel.Immediately afterwards, there was a torrential rainstorm, and the driver had to turn on the wipers and adjust them to the fastest mode so that the sight would not be buried by the rain.

"Master, remember to take me downstairs, otherwise I won't be able to walk under such heavy rain." Yuehui reminded.

She couldn't help thinking, neither she nor her brother had an umbrella, so what happened to her brother now.

Even people with umbrellas dare not walk on the road, but look for places to hide from the rain.My brother should have gone to take shelter from the rain too. It is impossible for him to let all the newly bought coat and shoes be soaked in the rain.

***

Braving the heavy rain that was still falling, Yue Guo quickly rushed into the French restaurant on this street.

Pushing open the revolving glass door, a wave of heat came oncoming.

Because of the rain, so some weather.

"Excuse me, sir, but umbrellas cannot be brought in."

Just as he was about to walk in, the waitress stopped him with her high heels.

"Sorry..." Yue Guo immediately stopped walking.

sorry Sorry……

He lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

In order to avoid the rain, he went back to the shopping mall to buy an umbrella, and hurried to take a taxi, but because of the sudden rain, there were traffic jams everywhere, so he was already late.

The waitress took his umbrella with a cheerful smile.If Yueguo had been wearing his low-grade clothes before, the waiter's attitude might have been completely different. Fortunately, he dressed well today, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

Yueguo found that the toes of his shoes were soaked in water. He went back to the door, took out a napkin and wiped it, but it didn't work at all. His trousers and shoulders were also a little wet, but he didn't care about that much, as long as his hair didn't get wet.

"Excuse me, how many guests are there, sir? Or have you already reserved a seat?"

The waitress just now put his umbrella on the umbrella stand at the door, and there were many long umbrellas displayed there. The short umbrella that Yueguo bought temporarily seemed strange, and he realized that it was originally a parasol.

"I have a friend who has already reserved a seat. He should have come a long time ago. His surname is Jiang."

Yaochen will be angry if he is half an hour late.He also made a phone call in advance to tell Yaochen that he would be late, Jiang Yaochen said "it's okay".In fact, he should be angry, he can't imagine how it would feel for such an arrogant person to be late for a date.

Yue Guo followed the waitress into the restaurant with a look of embarrassment.Yaochen fixed a position by the window and went up a few steps. Yueguo walked over and sat down. Yaochen noticed him coming, and his eyes fell on him from the window.

Yue Guo showed a forced smile.

"Sorry, I'm late... because of the traffic jam..."

"It's okay, it's raining heavily today."

"Have you ordered yet?"

"No, wait for you to come and decide together."

There was only a glass of lemonade on the table and a bowl of leftover clam chowder.

The waiter went to get the menu, and Yaochen folded his arms and sat down at the table.Suddenly said: "Have you done a hairstyle?"

When I saw Yue Guo two days ago, it was not like this.It seems that Yue Guoyou went to the styling shop to dress himself up according to his request.

"Well, I spent a lot of money... and bought clothes."

"It suits you very well, and it looks good too." The corners of Yaochen's mouth slightly raised, under the warm yellow light, the current atmosphere was ambiguous.

But he couldn't think about it, Yueguo changed the subject: "There should be some money left on that card."

"You don't need to find it out and return it to me, I've already given it to you."

Seeing that he wanted to rummage through the bag, Yaochen immediately stopped him, "The money in it is the same, just treat it as the cost of your housework during this period, and it is very expensive to hire a housekeeper now, not just that. In short, you don't have to pay me back." .”

Yueguo knew that his cheeks were burning. Yaochen was the noble son of the Shirong Group and the son of a celebrity. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He really didn't care about the money.

At this time, he had already accepted too much help offered by Yaochen, including being injured and fractured a few months ago, and living in Yaochen's apartment. Yaochen almost bought daily necessities, and Yaochen paid for eating out. Without causing guilt, Yueguo always buys ingredients and cooks for himself, Yaochen simply handed him the money for buying vegetables, and then went back to cook for two, "saving" with Yueguo.In order to repay Yaochen, he undertook all the housework.

"Thank you……"

Yue Guo said.

After ordering, it took a while for the food to be served, in order, they had aperitifs and appetizers first.

Yue Guo asked him: "Why don't you celebrate your birthday with your parents?"

"My parents are divorced, and I have a bad relationship with my father." Yao Chen answered him not minding.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask you this." Perhaps Yue Guo felt sorry for touching on Yaochen's personal affairs.

"It's okay, I've always spent my birthday alone since I was a child."

Yue Guo was stunned.In this way, Yaochen would invite himself to have dinner with him, so he should be very special in his heart.It may also be that he was afraid of being alone for a while, and Yue Guo didn't dare to think about it.

"By the way, you will accompany me for the professional exam this semester."

Yaochen changed the subject.

"Okay, are you going to practice the concerto?"

"Yes."

"Have you chosen?"

"Let's discuss it later when we get back."

"Then I have to think about it..."

Yue Guo suddenly laughed embarrassedly.Many students would be honored to be able to accompany Yaochen. Yaochen has a high status in the school and is very famous. He is an existence that many students respect.

Even if he doesn't have himself, those who want to cooperate with him must be scrambling.

There are some girls in their department, even if they just have a word with Yaochen, they will be happy all day, come to the class to gossip about Jiang Yaochen.

He is a man of the hour.

Being able to be friends with Yaochen and live with him, Yueguo has become a thorn in the eyes of many people. Everyone was waiting to see his jokes, but he just laughed it off.

The waiter brought up a dish of foie gras baked in red wine.

And Yaochen didn't order this dish, but ordered dessert.

"It's a bit exaggerated to put such a small piece of meat on such a big plate."

"Not enough to eat?"

"No, no." Yue Guo lowered his head and slowly cut open the small piece of foie gras, knowing that he couldn't finish it all at once.After grilling, it melted in the mouth, and he exclaimed, "It's really delicious."

It was the first time I came to such a luxurious restaurant for dinner after I was born.

And being alone with Yaochen, Yueguo was extremely happy.

Two days ago, when Yaochen proposed to go to dinner together, he only found out that today is Yaochen's birthday. He was in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift, so he regretted it.He knew that he would remember today for a long time, and when he got home, he wrote a diary as a souvenir.

However, he just wrote what happened today, but he didn't write down his feelings.

He knew that he shouldn't be tempted by someone like Yaochen, they would never be together, so he would never reveal his feelings.

***

Yue Guo took out the key and locked the door of the piano shop where he worked.

Today is the once a month when he works the night shift, it's getting late, fortunately, it's the weekend, he's still immersed in the joy of going out on a date yesterday, and he has to go to school tomorrow, so he's going to live in Yaochen's apartment tonight.I can see Yaochen again, I don't know when, he is looking forward to getting along with Yaochen.

Suddenly, a shadow taller than himself blocked behind him, Yue Guo suddenly turned his head, and the people who appeared there startled him, but fortunately he was very quiet, he didn't cry out, just nodded.

"It's you, senior."

He recognized that person, it was Shan Zefeng from the school band, he was Yueguo's senior, he was taller and stronger than Yueguo.

"I thought you would go out and hang out with men on weekends." Shan Zefeng stopped him by the wall.

"what are you saying?"

There were few people on this street, not many pedestrians passed by, and Yue Guo didn't dare to resist rashly.

"Are you ready to go home now? Let me see you off."

Senior Shan has a private car, just like Yaochen.There are many rich children in the Conservatory of Music.

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Yue Guo put on a posture of not wanting to talk to him, hoping that the senior could understand.

Their relationship was not good. Shan Zefeng was the person in charge who invited him to join the school band. Not long after Yue Guo joined, he confessed his love to Yue Guo seriously, saying that it was love at first sight.

Yue Guo didn't agree, so their relationship became very tense. Later, they were pursued by Shan Zefeng, but Yue Guo refused.Although troubled, Yueguo did not quit the school band, and several other seniors recognized his strength and hoped that he would stay. At that time, the principal piano of the orchestra was always absent, and they hoped that Yueguo could stay.

But I don’t know when, there are rumors in the school, in the class, and even in the dormitory that he had an affair with Senior Shan, saying that he seduced the seniors from the previous class, so he joined the school band and received many gifts from Senior Shan, even on weekends. Going out with men and having a messy private life.

For these rumors, Yueguo knew that senior Shan was behind the "credit", so he didn't verify it. Anyway, he couldn't live in the dormitory any longer.

In the end, after that accident happened, he lived in Yaochen's apartment, rarely attended the school band, and rarely saw senior Shan.Several months have passed, and his injuries have almost recovered, and senior Shan came to look for him in class from time to time, probably because he still wanted to pursue Yueguo.

Shan Zefeng put down his hand, and Yue Guo was also about to leave quickly, but he suddenly pulled Yue Guo back to his side unwillingly, and his entangled posture made Yue Guo frightened.

"what are you doing……"

Yue Guo couldn't break free, Shan Zefeng suddenly shouted: "It's just to send you home! Why are you so afraid?"

"I'm not going home today, I live near the school."

At this time, Shan Zefeng remembered the rumor that Yueguo lived in Jiang Yaochen's apartment, and he thought he understood the reason.

"Why don't you let him pick you up? His family should be very rich. With him, you will have no worries about food and clothing."

This statement is very ironic, and Yue Guo couldn't help but raise his voice and shout at him:

"We are not the kind of relationship you think. It's just that I was bullied by the people in the dormitory and fell down and got injured. He just helped me."

Although it sounds fake, Shan Zefeng also knows that Yue Guo's character is not like a liar, so he has to believe it.

If they were really in a relationship, Jiang Yaochen, as a lover, would not have come to pick up Yueguo.

He let go of his hand, and Yue Guo took several steps back.

"I gotta go……"

Shan Zefeng's face was a bit ugly, he sighed, and caught up with Yue Guo: "I'll see you off, I won't do anything to you. It's almost eleven o'clock."

"No... I'm not a girl."

"If you don't want to hear about you again in school tomorrow, let me send you this way."

There was a threatening tone in the words, and Yue Guo was very angry.

"It seems that you have been spreading bad things about me all this time..."

"It's your own behavior that caused the students to misunderstand. Today I was at a party with someone else, but now all my friends know that I came to pick you up. If I didn't pick you up, they will definitely make a fuss tomorrow. You want me to be laughed at by so many people ?"

Yueguo lowered his head, he didn't know what was wrong with his style of work, that's why those rumors appeared.

He didn't want to embarrass the senior, so he agreed to let the senior take him to the vicinity of Yaochen's apartment, get off the car temporarily, Yue Guo thanked him, and emphasized again: "Senior, I really don't plan to be with anyone, don't like me anymore It's..."

"Why can't I?"

Shan Zefeng twisted his body and pressed in front of him.

He knew that if he really wanted to refuse, he shouldn't have agreed to get in the car just now. Now that the car door is locked by the senior, he still wants to kiss him forcefully.

But because of Yue Guo's refusal, he didn't kiss him, Yue Guo seriously resisted, and his arms were no less powerful than him.

In desperation, Yue Guo said: "I already have someone I like...so I can't promise you."

Shan Zefeng stared at Yue Guo and asked, "Do you already have someone you like?"

Hearing this sentence, Shan Zefeng finally let go of his hand, and had the illusion of giving up.

He couldn't believe it, even if everyone rumored that life in Yue Kingdom was chaotic, he knew that Yue Kingdom should not be like that.He talked ill of Yueguo with everyone, but because he didn't succeed, he felt revengeful. Every time he complained in front of his classmates that his gift to Yueguo was rejected, the next day it would be rumored that it was Yueguo's fault.

"Who do you like? Is it Jiang Yaochen?"

"..."

Yue Guo didn't deny it, and Shan Zefeng felt ashamed. If Yue Guo liked Jiang Yaochen, at least in terms of family background, he was completely incomparable.

"Does he like you too? You live together, don't say nothing happened."

"It's true that nothing happened. We lived in different rooms... He doesn't like me either, he just helped me." Yue Guo's body was still pressed against the car window due to Shan Zefeng's force just now, "We are friends relation."

"That's right. That's right. He is not an ordinary person. Few people are worthy of him. His vision must be very high."

It's really not worthy, even being friends is a luxury, Yueguo knows the meaning of what the senior said, of course an ordinary person like him dare not like Yaochen, he has always tried his best to restrain himself.

But at the moment of rejecting the senior, he understood why, because he wanted to reject because he had something to belong to.

"Whether he likes you or not really doesn't matter. The point is whether you like him or not. Answer me."

Yue Guo shook his head.

"I don't know, I just know I won't confess to him."

He didn't want to directly deny that he didn't like it, that is, he liked it and didn't dare to say it. Shan Zefeng understood his thoughts better than Yueguo himself. Yueguo must like Jiang Yaochen. From the rumors of his classmates, how do they look? Just ordinary friends.

"If you live together like this, it will cause many misunderstandings."

"I know, I'm going to move out as soon as possible."

Yueguo felt a bit sour at the tip of his nose.

"Get out of the car." Shan Zefeng unlocked the car door.

"Thank you for today."

Yue Guo got out of the car in a hurry and slammed the car door. He wanted to escape from that small space quickly, but the sound of the car door echoed heavily behind his ears.

Stepping into the high-end apartment with bright lights, the iron door was locked.Yue Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally here, it's past eleven o'clock, Yaochen should be sleeping.Just thinking about this, he took out the key to open the door, but the door was opened from the inside, and Yueguo made a sound out of surprise.

"Aren't you asleep yet, do you want supper?" He looked at Yaochen, trying to make himself smile, but Yaochen's face was a little ugly.

Yaochen is still wearing a formal suit, and he hasn't changed into pajamas or a t-shirt. Isn't he going to sleep?

After entering the room, Yaochen sat down at the dining table and took a sip of water.

"Someone sent you back?"

"Well, it's a senior."

"It's very interesting. Is it the senior who chased you? Did you promise him?"

Yaochen had heard about it, but never asked for details.

"No... I didn't have anything to do with him..."

Before he finished speaking, Yaochen let out a mocking laugh, and Yue Guo knew that his face was flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed.Put down the things and stand aside blankly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. You came back too late and disturbed my sleep." He said impatiently, but he didn't plan to go to bed at all. He didn't even change his clothes or take a shower.

Yaochen unbuttoned the first button of his shirt. After Yueguo came back, he realized that his shirt was too tight. Before that, he had been waiting for Yueguo to come back. He wanted to take the opportunity of having dinner together last night to continue For the further development of Yueguo, even if Yueguo is not a disabled person, he thinks it is a good choice, but tonight, when he bumped into Yueguo and was sent home by others, he completely dispelled this idea, and even thought that there is a possibility of a relationship between Yueguo and Yueguo. , is simply extremely stupid.

"If you're always dating men, it's not right to live with me, don't let me catch you with men again, or you'll move out."

He saw with his own eyes that Yueguo and the senior had a lot of conversations in the car, and even kissed, but he told himself that it was nothing.

In any case, he is very uncomfortable now.

"I know... I will move out as soon as possible. But I am not dating a man, I am going to work... I am really sorry to disturb you so late."

Unexpectedly, before he mentioned it, Yaochen would speak first.Still using a tone of catching rape in bed, as if there is something between them.

The soreness in the nasal cavity just now suddenly hit again, and Yue Guo entered the house.

Yaochen squeezed the water glass in his hand tightly enough to break it.

Until the cup actually shattered, a gash was cut in the palm of his hand.
