    Chapter 36 A long time

    The elf’s kiss was warm and gentle, falling all over Alessi’s face, neck, chest, and finally resting on his chest muscles. The two chocolate beans were swollen and slightly painful from the kiss, but Alessi’s mind went blank, and all the thoughts that were originally untangled had been cleared up.

    There was only one sentence left in his mind.

    I wish Alessi a safe and prosperous new year.

    Sensing that Alexi had been absentminded for too long, Lu Qinian was dissatisfied and lightly twisted the chocolate with his teeth.

    “Hiss.” Alessi gasped in pain, but there was no trace of reluctance in his eyes.

    “Are you distracted at this time?” Lu Qinian relented dissatisfied, and then kissed his lips again.

    If he hadn’t been deeply aware of Alessi’s character, he would have almost thought that such a well-behaved mermaid was a lamb to be slaughtered.

    Alessi allowed the other party to do whatever he wanted in his mouth. After a while, he suddenly thought of something.

    Although elves are not from this world, children born from any ethnic group are named by their parents themselves. The same is true for Lu Qinian’s name, so it is not a wish for him!

    Alessi gently bit the tip of the elf’s tongue, then glared at Lu Qinian and said fiercely: “You said your name was to pray for me, but you can’t choose the name yourself. You are deceiving me again.”

    Lu Qinian only felt that the tip of his tongue suddenly became numb and a little itchy. Before he could finish listening, Alessi pushed him away.

    He has been fatherless and motherless for as long as he can remember. Not all children in the orphanage have names. Children like him who were thrown into the orphanage as an infant do not even have a household registration. They are only replaced by the director when they reach school age.(explanation 1)

    Only his name was randomly found in the dictionary.

    Nothing more than that, I just felt that the name given by the dean was perfunctory and unpleasant. After all, a dean has to name many children.

    At that time, he didn’t even understand the meaning of the word, he just thought it sounded good.

    Lu Qinian could hear what Alexi meant. The mermaid’s doubts were reasonable. What he said was indeed deceiving. He explained: “I am an orphan. In the previous world, I had no parents. I grew up in an orphanage. When I was young, I had no name because I was the 19th child in the same batch of orphans. My name has always been Nineteen. Lu Qinian, I chose this name myself. I chose it simply because it sounded good to me when I was a child.”

    As he spoke, Lu Qinian thought of something, and he joked: “I’m not sure, I just picked my name just to meet you.”

    Alessi raised his eyebrows. He was indeed not pleased by this sentence, so he turned around and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”

    “There is no one else, not before, and there will be no one in the future, only you.” Lu Qinian’s answer was straightforward and unambiguous.

    Alessi raised his hand to unbutton the top button of his complicated and gorgeous brocade robe: “I don’t have one either, there hasn’t been one before, there won’t be one in the future, only you.”

    Everything next fell into place.

    Alessi’s brocade robe was completely taken off by a pair of big white hands. The complicated brocade robe with golden totems fell to the ground and was soaked by the warm water not long after it fell to the ground.

    After a while, the brocade robe full of creases fell down, completely covering the brocade robe of the golden totem.

    Alexi’s body was so tight that Lu Qinian frowned: “Relax.”

    The elf’s white fingers were hard to move.

    Alessi’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and his voice became hoarse due to long-term endurance. When he noticed the fingers inside his body moving, he said with difficulty: “I can’t relax anymore.”

    I can’t help but relax.

    His bronzed chest was dripping with sweat.

    It was all because the bathroom was too stuffy. It was so stuffy that the skin all over his body looked like cooked shrimps, with an obvious red color.

    Lu Qinian held Alessi’s waist with one hand, and pinched his bronze butt a few times from time to time to try to distract Alessi’s attention. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. His other hand was moving crazily. When he couldn’t help it, he would kiss the mermaid’s lips soothingly. He coaxed in a low voice: “Don’t be afraid, relax a little, I’m afraid you will get hurt.”

    Now I can’t get out or get in, I’m stuck in place and can’t move.

    If he doesn’t relax, not only will Alessi be injured, but his fingers will also be broken.

    After a while, Lu Qinian’s comfort took effect, and as Alex gradually relaxed, the movements in his body became much faster.

    I can’t stand it anymore.

    This sentence suddenly came to Alessi’s mind. The next second, he tightened his arms tightly around Lu Qinian. His hands were clenched into fists from time to time due to the movements below him. His body suddenly began to tremble violently. His pupils shrank sharply for a moment, and his mouth was filled with unstoppable muffled hums. He completely lost his strength and fell into Lu Qinian’s arms.

    Lu Qinian was stunned for a few seconds when he saw this. His ears were filled with the sound of the mermaid’s heavy breathing for the rest of his life. He gently pulled out his fingers and washed them under the water.

    He washed all the sweat from Alessi’s body again, but when he raised his hand, his frown finally relaxed a little.

    Lu Qinian’s skin is very white, which is in sharp contrast with Alessi’s skin color. The completely different skin colors make people think they match.

    The elf’s hands are even more white and slender.

    Just now…

    Fingers, wrinkled.

    Lu Qinian leaned Alessi against the wall, washed the sweat off his body as quickly as possible, turned around and wanted to pick Alessi up and walk out of the bathroom.

    After all, it is difficult to move around in the bathroom, so it is really tiring after a session.

    Alessi was shocked by the big hand that suddenly blocked his waist. He thought that the elf was going to do it again. For the first time, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and urgent: “Wait, go to bed.”

    Although he still hadn’t recovered from his nerves, Alessi didn’t refuse.

    The mermaid looked so cute, and Lu Qinian couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss his red and swollen lips.

    He became a kissing fiend.

    “Don’t move you, your legs are weak, I will carry you out.”

    Alessi subconsciously wanted to retort. After a while, his legs had the strength to walk. However, looking at the tender-looking elf in front of him, he still didn’t interrupt and allowed Lu Qinian to wipe him clean and carry him out of the bathroom.

    The moment he fell into the bed, a head of golden hair covered him again.

    Waves of tingling sensations spread throughout his body. Compared to what just happened in the bathroom, it pales in comparison.

    If Alessi just grunted from time to time, now he even felt that his soul was starting to tremble.

    From beginning to end, Alessi never begged for mercy.

    Lu Qinian would never have done such a thing during the day if he hadn’t been unable to hold back and took the matter to the end.

    Until the end, sweat covered both of their bodies.

    Lu Qinian smoothed Alessi’s messy black hair: “I’ll carry you to clean it.”

    Alessi’s deep eyes became blank, and he just nodded lightly when he heard this.

    He had never been so tired.

    Except for a certain task during the cleaning process, where the mermaid couldn’t help but struggle a few times, the whole person was quietly at the mercy of Lu Qinian.

    At dusk, Lu Qinian carried the sleeping Alessi to the bedside. He held a thick blanket in his hand and wiped the mermaid’s hair until it was half dry. He was slightly disappointed that there was no hair dryer in this world.

    He was fine, but Alessi had taken three showers, and his black hair had hardly been dry for long.

    I don’t know if Alessi will have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow.

    [Host, I’m leaving.】

    The cold mechanical sound was particularly loud in the silent room. Lu Qinian did not expect the system to leave so suddenly, and the action of wiping his hair was immediately relieved.

    It was only a matter of time before he and Xiaojiu separated, but Lu Qinian was so unexpected that he even forgot to respond in his heart for a moment and said directly: “So sudden?”

    [Well, is the host sure you want to stay in this world?If the reply is confirmed, the host will lose the opportunity to return to the original world.】

    Lu Qinian’s eyes fell on Alessi, his eyes full of emotion: “I’m sure, I won’t go back.”

    [Successfully received the host’s selection,]

    [The choice of host has been determined.】

    009 looked at the two people in front of it through the electronic screen. It was not used to talking too much and suddenly remembered the words of today’s host. For the first time, it always felt compassion, and an invisible energy quickly entered Alessi’s body.

    The usually indifferent little ball of light suddenly appeared in the room, making the originally dark room instantly bright.

    Small light ball 009 floated in mid-air in front of Lu Qinian: “Goodbye, Lu Qinian.”

    The cold mechanical sound contained an imperceptible tenderness.

    “Goodbye, Xiaojiu.” Lu Qinian watched as the small ball of light flew out of the window and gradually disappeared into the air.

    After a while, he once again raised his hand and gently wiped the mermaid’s hair. After wiping until it was almost done, he fell asleep holding Alessi in his arms.

    In the gloom, Alessi opened his eyes and looked out the window, then closed his eyes and hugged the elf tightly.

    This time, I slept all night.

    Early the next morning, Lu Qinian woke up sleepily and found Alessi lying beside him. A few strands of slightly curly long black hair fell messily on Alessi’s face, and his facial features were straight.

    Lu Qinian then discovered that Alessi’s eyelashes were very long, like butterflies. Just as he thought, when Alessi woke up, his eyes were like butterflies fluttering, and they flew several times before revealing their dark eyes.

    “Does it hurt?”

    Lu Qinian was a little scared when he thought about yesterday’s nonsense all day long. He knew that he would get hurt if he did it too often, but he completely forgot about it in the moment above. What’s more, it was his first time and he was inexperienced. If Alessi got hurt, he would not regret giving him the medicine.

    My body does feel a little uncomfortable, but it doesn’t feel like pain.Alessi felt that there was nothing unusual about him and gave the elf a reassurance: “It doesn’t hurt, I’m just a little uncomfortable.”

    Dong Dong——

    A knock on the door came into the house.

    “Your Majesty, it’s time for breakfast.” A junior official’s voice sounded.

    The two of them stood up quickly, and Alessi left shortly after the meal to deal with the memorial.

    Lu Qinian observed Alessi for a long time and found that there was no abnormality in the other person’s walking posture. In the following days, he paid even more attention and asked questions. Only when there was absolutely no problem could he rest assured.

    Not long after Alessi left, several petty officials came to the door, walked into the bathroom, and left holding the dirty sheets after yesterday’s mischief.Lu Qinian touched his nose nonchalantly, with a look of uneasiness on his face.

    No one dared to knock on the door looking for Alessi all day yesterday. Now the government affairs piled up in the study room were like a hill. Most of the hillock were government affairs that Xiao Guoer had handled, and they were waiting for his review and grading.

    There are only a small number of things that the little mermaid really can’t solve, and she doesn’t even dare to deal with them for the first time.

    Lu Qinian also stood up and walked out of the Crystal Palace after the official left. Most of the houses of the mermaid tribe had been repaired and ready for occupancy. Only a small part was still being repaired.

    With nothing to do, Lu Qinian rolled up his sleeves and joined a small group of emergency repairs.

    In the next few days, Alessi was completely busy and the dragon disappeared without a trace. He only returned late at night and disappeared again at dawn.

    After all the houses of the Mermaid Tribe were repaired and even the ecology in the Black Reef Area was completely restored to peace, Lu Qinian became a completely idle person.

    In the past, Xiao Guoer went out with him to play, but now the little mermaid spends all day learning how to be a good king, not to mention playing and even eating in a hurry.

    This was idle until the bamboo guard knocked on the palace door.

    “Holy Son, His Majesty is afraid that you will be bored, so he specially asked me to come and take you out.” The bamboo guard said his purpose, then asked: “Is there anywhere you want to go?”

    Lu Qinian thought for a long time. After thinking about it carefully, there was no place he wanted to go. Perhaps only Alessi could interest him a little: “No.”

    The bamboo guard said again: “Then Holy Son, please go with me.”

    The elf nodded.

    The bamboo guard didn’t say where he was going, and Lu Qinian didn’t ask.

    But the route looked particularly familiar. When he saw the familiar fence and the tombstone in the center of the fence, Lu Qinian suddenly remembered the reason for that familiarity.

    Alessi’s mother’s grave.

    He turned back sharply with a look of surprise on his face: “Why did you bring me here?”

    There is only one person who can send the Bamboo Guard, but if Alessi really finds him boring, there is no need to ask the Bamboo Guard to take him to the cemetery.

    Then there is only one possibility…

    The bamboo guard smiled, saluted respectfully and said, “Holy Son, Your Majesty is waiting for you.”

    Lu Qinian stepped over the rocks that obscured his sight. Alessi stood in the center of the cemetery, wearing a black silk crocheted brocade robe and holding a pure white box in his hand.

    “Lu Qinian, come here.” Alexi said slowly.

    It wasn’t until Lu Qinian stood beside him that Alexi curled up his lips. He opened the box in his hand, and there were two plain rings made of obsidian in the box.

    Lu Qinian was stunned. There was no ring in this world: “Who did this?”

    Are there people like him in this world?

    “I did it. I know the custom there. If you are in love, you should give your partner a ring.” Alessi put down the box in his hand, picked up a ring, and stretched out his other hand towards the landing to pray for good luck.

    “Where did you know that?” Lu Qinian handed over his palm.

    Alessi’s eyebrows were deep and she put on the ring for him: “009 told me that I was asleep the day it said goodbye to you, but it woke me up.”

    Xiaojiu?

    Lu Qinian picked up another ring: “What does it say?”

    Without Lu Qinian raising his hand, Alessi had already extended his hand: “It didn’t speak to me, it just gave me a dream.”

    Lu Qinian squeezed his palm, then knelt down on one knee, and said sincerely: “Aleixi, did I tell you in your dream that you need to kneel down on one knee to wear a ring for your partner?”

    Alessi really didn’t know. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Qinian’s words.

    “Now, it’s up to Alessi’s partner to put the ring on him.”

    The ring with the same black eye ring as the elf’s finger was put on his hand.

    Rather than saying that Alessi had a dream, it was better that Alessi had been to that world in person.

    He saw many scenes he had never seen before in that world. Although it was only for a few minutes, it made him feel like a treasure.

    The place is filled with countless high-rise buildings, four-wheeled vehicles in motion, and passers-by wearing strange clothes.

    As for the rings, he saw a couple while wandering. They were holding hands and walking on the road. They were laughing and laughing on the road, feeding each other, and bought two rings when they passed by a roadside stall.

    They say that couples should wear couple rings.

    Alessi then learned that his partner was wearing the same ring.But they did not tell the elves that they need to kneel down to give each other rings.

    When Lu Qinian heard these words, he was very grateful to 009. He knew that Xiaojiu was trying to reassure Alessi and took this opportunity to make the maid believe that he really would not leave, but at the same time he was a little bit dumbfounded.

    The rings bought at a roadside stall are just the whim of a young couple. Of course, there is no need to get down on one knee, but a carefully selected ring has a profound meaning and is naturally different.

    “Alexi, the ring that you kneel down on one knee and give out is the partner that a person recognizes in his heart, the one who must be you for the rest of his life.” Lu Qinian stretched out his hand to hold Alexi’s palm, and the fingers of the two ring-wearing hands were interlocked.

    He didn’t explain too much, although Lu Qinian didn’t think that the ring from the roadside stall must be low-end and cheap, and it must not be proof that two people love each other.

    He just felt that two people who truly loved each other would definitely not wrong their partners with such an “ordinary” ring.

    It’s as if their relationship is so “ordinary”.

    Alessi also understood something. He lowered his eyes to the clasped palms of the two people, then raised his head to look at the stone tablet in front of him. His voice was low and firm: “Mother, this is my partner.”

    Lu Qinian did not speak and stood quietly. His ears were filled with Alessi’s affectionate words as the mermaid introduced him to his mother.

    “He is the holy son of the elves. He is very kind, brave and gentle. He is also very good-looking. He is very kind to me… he is a perfect match for me. I like him very much.”

    Alessi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Qinian: “Is there anything you want to say?” In fact, it’s okay not to say it. After all, he himself couldn’t remember what his mother looked like. But when the idea of ​​being together for a lifetime sprouted, he immediately wanted his mother to witness it.

    Lu Qinian nodded, his tone gentle and sincere: “Mother.”

    Alessi instantly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Qinian in surprise.

    In the deep blue seabed, swarms of colorful jellyfish swim through the cemetery, colorful fishes draw a bright line in the seawater, and soft corals float with the current on the seafloor.

    He never expected that the elf would call her mother. This title completely broke Alessi’s hard heart.

    “Mother, Alessi is very good. He is smart and brave. He completely led the mermaid tribe through the crusade and minimized the losses… He is very kind, much like you.”

    “I will take good care of Alessi.” Lu Qinian said a lot and for a long time.

    He had never met his mother, and he didn’t even know her name. When he came to the cemetery several times and saw Alessi complaining to her in despair, Lu Qinian was envious.

    This time he called mother voluntarily, as if he also had a mother at this moment.

    No longer the child without a home.

    Alessi never thought that he had so many advantages in the eyes of the elves. His reputation among all ethnic groups was very bad. Everyone said that he was cruel and cruel, killed without blinking an eye, and was a devil tyrant.

    The people of the mermaid clan were even more dissatisfied because he “killed his father and his brother” when he came to power, but they just didn’t dare to discuss it in front of him.

    His subordinates always kneeled on the ground with their heads lowered. Even if he moved his fingers meaninglessly, they would immediately kneel on the ground and cry for mercy.

    Even if he does nothing.

    As long as there are elves, Alessi puts all this behind him: “In a few days, Xiao Guoer’s enthronement ceremony will be held. After the ceremony, I will accompany you wherever you want to go.”

    King’s crash course is over.

    Lu Qinian calculated the time and found that the little mermaid only studied for half a year before being forced to ascend the throne. The child was also in a miserable state: “Is he already competent for all tasks?”

    Of course not, but Alessi couldn’t wait any longer: “Most of them are pretty good. With the help of Lingtang and Yangluo, it won’t be a problem.”

    The high-spirited person is like a child on weekdays, but Lingtang handles things neatly and has unique insights. It is indeed best to lead Xiao Guoer.

    Lu Qinian: “Are you willing to leave this position?”

    Alai gave him a hopeful look and said nonchalantly: “Where is this location better?”

    If it weren’t for the siren riding on the mermaid’s head to kill and rob, the mermaid clan would cry constantly every day. The “old king” would be ridiculous and incompetent and even use the profits to buy the siren to calm the trouble. All day long, he only thinks about having more brothers, and he just wants another waste – Yuri to take the throne.

    If it hadn’t been for Eufina who had been sending people to kill him.

    Alessi would not want to seize this position. He has no interest in power, but he does it as a last resort to save his life.

    Lu Qinian then said, “I can go anywhere, as long as I have you.”

    Alessi thinks the same way. He doesn’t care where he stays. He has no conservative ideas and believes that the mermaid must stay at the bottom of the sea. He can do it wherever there are elves:

    “Then let’s go back to the elves first.”

    Lu Qinian nodded in agreement: “Okay.”

    He returned to the elves just in time to attend Lyle’s succession ceremony.

    On the day Xiao Guoer ascended the throne, there was no color in the sky for several consecutive days. Until Xiao Guoer put on the crown, the sky was bright and radiant for a moment, and the entire seabed was extremely bright. This vision was seen by all the fish, and everyone praised the newly enthroned “little king” as a king that even the Emperor of Heaven is optimistic about, and he must be a wise king.

    Lu Qinian just squeezed Alessi’s finger quietly.

    That afternoon.

    Lu Qinian and Alexi collected the items they needed to take away, and Lu Qinian sighed when they were about to leave the palace.

    Alessi raised his eyes: “What’s wrong?”

    Lu Qinian’s eyes dimmed, with an unclear meaning in his eyes: “What a pity for this bed.”

    The bed woven with silk and gold threads has always been Lu Qinian’s favorite. Moreover, this bed also recorded the first time between the two of them, which shows that it has far-reaching meaning.

    Alessi cared more about every experience with the elf than Lu Qinian. He said calmly: “I have already told Xiao Guoer that when we decide where to settle, he will send someone to deliver this bed.”

    This was naturally the best. Lu Qinian immediately shouldered the package with satisfaction and pushed open the palace door.

    Xiao Guoer was just like Lu Qinian when he left the bottom of the sea last time. He was standing at the door of the palace, holding a palm-sized shell in his hand. When he saw Lu Qinian, his eyes suddenly lit up:

    “Brother Qinian, this is my farewell gift to you. I will open it when you leave the bottom of the sea.”

    Lu Qinian accepted the shell and touched the little mermaid’s hair: “Thank you Guoer, I will work hard to be a good king in the future.”

    Xiao Guoer smiled sweetly and nodded heavily: “Brother Qinian, I can! Be sure to open it after you leave.”

    “Okay.” Lu Qinian smiled and waved.

    Along the way, Alessi turned to the shell held in Lu Qinian’s hand with dissatisfaction many times, until they walked out of the bottom of the sea, and the two of them came together in understanding.

    Let’s open this shell together.

    Two hand-carved crystal plaques are placed in the center of the shell.

    The handwriting is childish and crooked, but it touches people’s hearts.

    For a long time
