The sun was quiet and warm in this seaside town.
Today was a weekend, a unique rest day in the town. Except for those who opened their own shops and set up stalls, all other working people had taken a break, including the fishermen who were fishing.
Qi Yan and Kerry both took a break and went to buy this week’s ingredients together in the morning.
“Teacher Kerry!”
A little girl’s excited cry came from a distance. Qi Yan and Kerry looked over and saw a little girl with a pigtail and dressed like a doll breaking free of her mother’s hand and running towards them quickly.
“Oh, Angel.” Kerry squatted down and gently hugged the little girl who rushed over: “Have you been a good girl today?”
“Yes!” Angel was, as the name suggests, like a little angel.
“Out shopping with mommy?” Qi Yan also squatted down. Although his face was cold, his beautiful face was extremely popular with children.
Angel got out of Kerry’s arms and quickly ran to Qi Yan’s side. She put her short arms around his neck and smiled: “I also helped my mother get a small bread!”
With a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes, Qi Yan picked her up: “Angel is amazing.”
Angel’s face turned red when she was praised and the little girl’s heart suddenly swelled: “I, I…”
Qi Yan didn’t hear clearly and asked, “What?”
“I will marry Brother Qi Yan when I grow up, okay…” After speaking, the little girl blushed and kept drilling into Qi Yan’s arms.
Qi Yan laughed and smiled happily. On the contrary, one side of Kerry’s face darkened, seemingly helpless and serious, he patted Angel’s little head.
“If you marry Brother Qi Yan, what should this teacher do?”
“Teacher Kerry can live with us!” Angel feels that her thoughts were very good and she seemed to be able to see the beautiful scene of the three of them living together in the future.
Now Qi Yan really laughed while Kerry grinned helplessly, unable to laugh or cry.
At this moment, Angel’s mother came over and hugged Angel apologetically: “Qi Yan and Kerry are you out shopping?”
“Yes, madam.” Kerry responded.
“Little Angel is talking nonsense again, isn’t she?” Angel’s mother smiled.
“No, Angel is very well behaved.” After Kerry finished speaking, he suddenly said, “By the way, Angel are not very proficient in addition and subtraction yet. When you’re home, let her practice more.”
Angel’s bright little face suddenly became frustrated: “Teacher Kerry! Didn’t we agree not to say it…”
After speaking, she was glared back by her mother’s disapproving eyes.
After Angel and her mother left, Qi Yan looked at Kerry’s gentle and harmless side face and shook his head gently: “Why did you say it…”
“You are mine.” Kerry said with a smile.
The corner of Qi Yan’s mouth twitched: “She’s just a child. Don’t you know that children’s words carry no harm!”
Kerry exhaled, took Qi Yan’s hand, turned and walked towards the bakery.
“She is a child, but I am not.”
Children’s words carry no harm, but the listener has the heart.
Kerry and Qi Yan had been in this town for a year and they’d had the most meaningful year since they were born.
Kerry used his savings to buy the small building of the landlady. Anyway, the landlady was also idle. It didn’t matter if they rent it out or sell it. What’s more, Qi Yan and Kerry were really good at getting along with this particular couple.
There was no formal school in the town. It might be because it was too small or it might be because it was too remote. Therefore, Kerry had set up classes here, which were still very popular with children and parents.
The large room on the first floor of the small building was used as a classroom. Unlike the kind of class that took place all day, the school was divided into time periods so that the children in the small town could receive knowledge.
Although Kerry had never properly attended the academy either, as a nobleman, there was still no shortage of books.
On the other hand, Qi Yan occasionally kept up with fishing boats and pointed out the direction for fishing boats lost in the sea on days when the weather was unstable.
The identities of the two of them were not deliberately concealed from the people around them.
They showed envy that Kerry was once an Earl; knowing that Qi Yan was a mermaid, they regarded him even more like a treasure.
The time of the day passed quickly and the sun rose and set, so fast that people couldn’t catch the passing time.
In the evening, Kerry cooked a table of delicacies to celebrate their first anniversary here.
Yes, a year ago today, they came to this town in despair.
The mermaid’s singing could cause humans to hallucinate. Although this was very subtle, it was indeed in this way that Qi Yan rescued Kerry without a single soldier.
When they came to the town, the first person to find them was the husband of the landlady. He was a big and tough guy, there was no way Mr. Landlord could ignore Kerry who was unconscious and Qi Yan who was too tired and had no strength.
Fate took a turn at that moment.
Kerry was in a coma for three days before he woke up, while Qi Yan took care of him endlessly for three days.
“A year ago, when you first came here, were you afraid?”
Their glasses collided and the purple liquid inside trembled slowly.
Facing Kerry’s question, Qi Yan raised his eyebrows: “I was a little worried.” Worried that they would turn him in with Kerry.
“What about now?”
“What about you, are you scared now?”
Kerry shook his head: “I’m not afraid.” After a pause, there was a trace of regret in his voice: “A Yan, maybe I should have listened to you a long time ago.”
Qi Yan didn’t speak. He knew that Kerry regretted not listening to him in the first place and stayed away from that circle.
“Maybe it will be better to hide.”
“Who said hiding was cowardly?” Qi Yan took a sip of wine: “It’s not too late, Kerry.”
“Will you live like this for the rest of your life with me?”
Maybe it would be a lifetime without a name, just a lifetime without guarantee .
Qi Yan put down the wine glass and a trace of warmth flashed in his cold eyes: “I won’t just change into a human form for anyone.”
——When he decided to use his human form to accompany Kerry to his old age in this small town, everything was already predetermined.
“Perhaps, this town was made for us.”
The two glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.
…..
What was the name of the love between two men?
Often times, there were many kinds of names. Some people didn’t agree, so they were called “perverted” or “mentally ill”… But there was a very simple saying, “What I like happens to be a man.”
What I like is not the gender, but that person.
…..
Every Christmas, Kerry and Qi Yan held a small Christmas party. Many children came to participate, they had various activities and little angels dressed up in very cute costumes.……
Naturally, many people felt that Kerry and Qi Yan should have been together.
That small building had been around for some years, Kerry painted its appearance with a layer of blue paint, sea blue, unique.
——You were born in the sea, and I love the color blue deeply.
