人魚迅速地游上海灘。在離開海水的那一刻，那條魚尾自動化成了一雙屬於人類的腿。人魚似乎對此駕輕就熟，在魚尾化為雙腿的那刻就立刻解開了腰間的繩索，一條長裙霎時被放下，遮蔽了那幅白皙的美景。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrffLHHFQZ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3xO5xJE5d
　　小巧的腳掌在沙灘上印出清晰的腳印。隨著她一步步邁進，身上的海水也從她身上緩緩滴落，在沙灘上留下一個個小坑。她手裡捧著一顆碩大的珍珠，走到王子的面前後微微彎下腰，將珍珠遞給他。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M5jFZ52CF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtgeSLnhUk
　　「給你！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc1IDyxrpu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQnlzHISL9
　　王子微微愣住，看了一眼珍珠又看向她，有些不確定地用手指著自己，試探性地詢問。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJQIi1Yr4Z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfMjues2kC
　　「你……要送給我？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJBlZtGSoe
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUP44UoAp
　　「嗯，我們交換！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNf8TnXDWH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVD2JRUMi6
　　在人魚點頭過後，王子才用雙手接過那顆巨大的珍珠。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMcTo8y9Tk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQtQYWYVs
　　那個珍珠很大，大得居然連他一掌都無法完全掌握。上面的光澤十分明亮光滑，王子甚至可以從表面的反光看見自己的倒影。不知是否是因為剛剛離開大海，它上面還散發著一股相當濃厚的鹹腥臭味。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIevm1iK5z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzR1lmY2kb
　　砰砰，砰砰，砰砰。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsM47LArqX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUyJ45A0r
　　捧著那顆珍珠，王子感受到胸口的心臟跳得更加劇烈，甚至微微有些發疼。王子就像個青澀的小夥子般，差點壓不住嘴角的弧度，耳尖微微發紅著。他偷偷地按了按胸口，企圖讓心臟稍微冷靜一些。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4HJMTyLHs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLKaO3Qu3s
　　隨後，若無其事地將珍珠收下。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Qt9DixbK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGYgmwmQU
　　「謝謝。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnp3llgOld
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOgPFaMQQk
　　「謝謝？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBeB9GjPCI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqcfP8N4K
　　看到人魚疑惑的模樣，王子就明白人魚或許缺乏社交，並不明白『謝謝』代表的意思。他立刻像個純純教師般細心解釋，這兩字所代表的含義。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDy8T104ho
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2ivEHFRK
　　「就是表示感激的意思。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWOEGoHofQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEnF7OHsid
　　「感激……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfFoyMuDT
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M5qnORSQl
　　人魚模仿著王子的語氣複述著，像是在確認這句話所代表的含義。爾後，她似乎完成了對這兩個字的理解，捧起胸前脖子上掛著的貝殼項鍊，輕輕按壓。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFYGpiaWcf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7Cc7A0mj
　　『喀』的一聲，貝殼打開了。而攤開的貝殼上，躺著那枚他剛剛贈送於她的戒指。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVR0mTquo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPcv0a80p4
　　人魚纖細的手指輕輕捏住那枚戒指，露出了甜美的笑容。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAvFoupk6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YtNKBGxlp
　　「你也給了我這個戒指，所以謝謝你。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxngSVlcB
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGEugZDiC8
　　人魚甜美的笑容讓王子有些晃了神。他望著人魚的臉，微微有些發懵，但很快就立刻清醒過來，慌亂地撇開視線。好不容易緩和少許的心跳又一次震得他胸口發疼，臉上的溫度燙得彷彿能煎熟一顆荷包蛋。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb72mr0Ce5N
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrh9AedIc3
　　王子從未覺得自己如此狼狽過，恨不得想找個地洞鑽下去，不敢面對人魚。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpcbdl2lDy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NcLknYD7
　　「不……不客氣。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5ynQm5Bj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUNQZ2GSs8
　　「不客氣？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMq2pU85d
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg2GLGyBJp
　　他已習慣人魚的反問，沒有再有多餘的情緒，立即解釋語意。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxEQqnBC2r
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzll4bH5iED
　　「就……就是不用在意的意思。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiezxf5jNCF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmVPGUyPl
　　「不用在意……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64S9SLng3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNiq8AFAQe
　　人魚歪著頭再次複述，然後再次揚起大大的笑容。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimO3Dvnl6p
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAGTNG0xhw
　　「那，不客氣。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VMmd4LoTe
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9puOJtQekf
　　她小心翼翼地將戒指再次放回貝殼中收好。隨著一聲『咔噠』聲響起，貝殼再次完美的闔上，成為戒指的保護殼。人魚輕輕捏起貝殼，歪了歪頭再次發出詢問。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDfNekmo5G
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAudiWU8dO
　　「你以後還會再給我嗎？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG35zTlHJ6G
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVGDKUyP7t
　　「這……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedltxnfjt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbGngkYa2Y
　　王子面露猶豫之色。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCsugJ3g45
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bWP0As7TP
　　這並不是因為他不願意再送珠寶給人魚，而是在經歷二次墜海回憶後……53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhhu7xjs8F
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESwUcDnAUu
　　恐怕集其一生，他都不會想再次踏足來海邊了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lT0dkU4HR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr71BgmLEk
　　看著正不解地望著自己的人魚，王子的內心閃過無數次的掙扎。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZeFL9GvG7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tRzvvd2Zh
　　所以……該怎麼辦才好？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvf8JU4yx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhzzX3r2m
　　想了很久，腦中突然浮現一個想法，眼睛立刻一亮。望著人魚清澈的雙眼，他猶豫片刻過後，還是決定開口嘗試。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoLjhFiNjk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F9vtvQoVC
　　「不然……你跟我回宮吧？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf550eem9z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE4UsbKTWC
　　「回宮？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj1pL6SDjr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmNYW536ax
　　猜測自己又一次觸及人魚的未知領域，王子立即進行解釋。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjrrfUbnmg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwsrLwrrcc
　　「就是王宮，那是我的家。那裡還有更多的珠寶。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfZ6UiRu2R
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE8uzsrhvT
　　人魚沒有馬上給予答覆，只是歪著頭看著他不語。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0q1qvu879
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK434ih5wV
　　王子很明白，是自己自私，只是他實在不希望與人魚的緣分斷在這裡，可又不想扛著牴觸之心來到這個讓她恐懼的地方。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03LvX0R6aX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pwITNBNlF
　　因此，他只能期待人魚願意做出退讓，隨自己回宮。這樣一來，不僅可以天天看到她，說不定兩個人的關係還能夠有進一步的發展。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3osemfbXE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS67vikabM
　　當然，想像十分美好，這一切的前提……都得是人魚選擇答應自己。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYD8XcC1uh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxpF83ksnx
　　時間一點一點過去，人魚始終沒有給出答覆。王子的心情越來越緊張，他看著人魚的雙眼，眼底也忍不住浮上祈求之色，最後一點一點染上失落。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN6I6eyL4b
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjibtPsnpcs
　　就在他準備放棄，打算由自己退讓一步的時候……53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUegDDEBAY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTsaH1fC8c
　　人魚的美妙的嗓音，如天降甘霖般響起。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlbx16Zkc
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRBzxrIMdi
　　「好呀。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ux3JIzoYL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yqlDK7zG3
　　短短兩個字讓王子頓時欣喜若狂，可隨之伴隨而來的是濃濃的擔憂。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLimXakWNc
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2AdTEieof
　　「對了，妳長時間不待在海裡沒關係嗎？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQZ0722GXu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLf7xkil7V
　　「沒關係呀。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadAixuTKJJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMzY1KTqNy
　　人魚否定的回答，讓王子鬆了一口氣。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIC2S9wjeY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZw7mnqt0K
　　「那就好。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyJi8pJim9
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtoRCPJhPF
　　原本在邀請對方時，他並沒有考慮人魚來自大海，可能會有所不便。但既然她脫離大海也沒有任何問題，那就沒有什麼後顧之憂了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Q03QQLWg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X3Fe2rYiH
　　至於其他的，他不願多想。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRQhSE6qDz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVSeMl1CPP
　　當王子站起身踩上沙地的那刻，混入靴子的沙粒觸感以及崩裂表皮的刺痛讓他感覺到微微不適，下意識皺了皺眉。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGLeuQ3Ec
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscu2PtGLAs
　　但考慮到還站在心儀的人面前，他勉強穩住了表情，對人魚伸出了邀約的手，努力擺出自認為最帥氣的笑容。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk63fRRkABG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LbdiajGz0
　　「那我們……走嗎？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6zptt7KrZ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5cKS8b7rC
　　人魚看了看王子，又看向他伸出的手，最後略帶猶豫地將手放了上去。確定對方沒有其他反應後，才揚起甜美的笑容。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e7Aby4JLn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHxsVikYnf
　　「嗯！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgBBUVvUl8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl5bl8e3Sy
　　離開沙灘後，王子與人魚來到離沙灘最近的村子內找人幫忙傳消息回宮內，並派人護送他回宮。回到宮中的那刻，王子迎來心急如焚的國王與王后，以及面露擔憂、隨侍一旁的米拉。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxaNSQLoU1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBGSsIt8I
　　只是這份擔憂在看見人魚的那一刻，只剩下蒼白與僵硬。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBUW5frx7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxiK3aQA6f
　　在王子的解釋下，國王與王后得知航船再次出事的消息。國王雖然認為在船已經確定沉沒的情況下難以有倖存者，但還是選擇派遣救難船前往營救。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHmSQcJn8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPpQhO7Fha
　　只是歷經此事後，本就已經不打算再出海的王子，被下了禁令，嚴格禁止再次出海。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASq5isFj7S
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqbdgKUHvB
　　處理完正事後，國王將目光放到那位人魚身上。他早已好奇人魚的身份，只是先前對兒子的擔憂超過一切，所以才沒有馬上詢問；現在既然已經知曉情況，他們被按壓下去的好奇心就湧了出來。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgItpDAcSu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOiGmJ1c0Y
　　「咳咳……兒子啊，這位美麗的小姐是……？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAF8FQcd8X
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxEz47CzQ0
　　「她叫瑟琳，是我的救命恩人。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPcUWgYQnR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbycuYvbC8X
　　短短四個字，讓一直安靜待在一旁的米拉臉色變得蒼白無比。她嘴唇嚅動著，但終究沒有開口說話。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgKouWgbie
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC9unrrdKb
　　國王在聽見王子的說辭後，微微睜大了眼，目光在兩位年輕的小姐身上來回遊移，最後用有些意義不明的表情看著自己的兒子，語氣也變得有些含糊。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAa7okCZr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljlSXiJlRp
　　「你救命恩人挺多的。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaqaiyssCe
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1jnP1g5MK
　　聞言，王子搖了搖頭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh4gMSc0at
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0WDILQXrW
　　「父皇，其實上次將我救上岸的人，也是瑟琳。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2KA3AJx9L
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DwMA6OQrI
　　「哦？那這位米拉小姐……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLBC2xTNzZ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLP75XRcXV
　　王子並沒有意識到國王的語氣變得有些奇怪，只是專注地為自己的心上人解釋，以確保她能夠擔上『救命恩人』的名頭，得以留下來。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvtBi36pXW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQfwtOccA
　　「上次瑟琳將我放在岸邊就走了，估計是看到我躺在岸邊，將我帶回家的吧。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERiGa60GLf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H36u1kGJz
　　在兩個人的談話間，米拉突然昏了過去，倒在地上時發出了巨大的聲響。隨著米拉的昏厥，這場對話也不了了之，兩位少女的去留，都被延後評判。1234 copyright protection49ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjsh9MXwF4 尼
