Everyone got the happy ending they wanted, and yet this story is not a happy ending. The writer had no particular intent, and the reader needn't read into it. It's just a fairy tale, something to chuckle over after a meal…
Theme:
In the human world, I seem so out of place.
But I can't choose my heart. My heart is filled with endless sadness, what should I do?
Even though this world is dressed in hypocritical finery, I still love it.
Because of him - brother.
He saved me when I was a child. The hasty intersection doomed my expectations in this life. From then on, I had a dream - to find him.
Looking for him is my lifelong pursuit as a mermaid.
Yes, I am a mermaid who should not have met my brother.
Before the story even begins, countless versions of the ending are predicted.
Two straight parallel lines extend indefinitely, just because: they are not of my species.
On the way to pursue my brother, I met him - another brother.
He is a birdman, with a pair of beautiful white feathers standing on his butterfly bones. He put a feather coat on me and guided me to find my brother.
But ever since I met him, I started dreaming.
The background of the dream is black and white, with a faint yellowish edge. In a cloudless sky, a bird kept circling. There is only confusion and sadness in the bird's eyes, and its cry is hoarse and sad. Gradually, gradually, I saw a small pond with clean and clear water. There was a fish in the small pond, looking up desperately at the bird hovering in the sky. I don't know why I only pay attention to that ordinary fish when there are so many beautiful and colorful fish in the small pond there. All I know is that the moment I saw that fish, the whole dream took on brilliant colors. Later... Later... The bird hovering in the air fell hard into the pond.
Suddenly it started to rain.
My heart suddenly felt a stinging pain...
At night, the same dream appeared over and over again, and I couldn't understand it.
Just when I was wandering around one time, I found the brother I had dreamed of for so many years standing in front of me. How could I not be ecstatic?
"Brother!" I waved my hand vigorously.
But his hand was held by the birdman brother who fell from the sky. Ignoring the screams and noises of humans around him, he dragged me up into the sky.
"Brother!" Seeing the dream within reach right in front of me, I tried my best to shout in the direction of my brother.
"It's useless." Birdman tried his best to fly upward, "The girl next to him is the person he wants to protect most in his life."
"You're lying!" I wanted to struggle away from the birdman's grasp of my hands. "The person my brother wants to protect is me! It's me! When I was very young, my brother appeared when I was in the most critical moment and rescued me. Everything is destined, isn't it?"
Birdman resisted my resistance while controlling his balance, and said angrily: "You should be sober and take a good look. That girl is wearing a snow-white gauze skirt. They will get married today!"
"What is marriage?" I asked confused.
Birdman was silent. For a long time, just when I thought he had forgotten my question, he said, "That is a witnessing ceremony for human beings to promise to love each other for life and never be separated."
I touched the place where my heart was, and it suddenly cracked.
"Brother Birdman, my heart is broken." I said.
"No, no." The birdman flapped his wings hard and flew faster and faster, "You won't be heartbroken."
My breathing started to get faster and I felt suffocated. A terrible thought flashed through him: "I'm going to die, Brother Birdman."
"Did you also have that dream - our previous life? We live to realize our dreams, so we have to work hard to live and live well, no matter what. You promised me that you will never let go of me and hold your hand again in this life!" Birdman's tears finally fell, dripping on my face, and they were cold.
My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and I couldn't resist it, so I slowly closed my eyes.
His lips pursed. I wonder if he heard the last words I said:
I'm sorry, Brother Birdman, I came from the past life and went to the next life. In this life, we just passed each other.
Postscript: Now there is a girl who has traveled through tragedy and is typing on the keyboard. She says to herself that people should live in the present, between reality and dreams.
Author's reply:
I... Burst into tears...
What is the background music?
Very good
Alas, I felt sad after reading the ending...
It's really poignant.
It feels like an alternative fairy tale~
The writing is so beautiful, keep learning.
Alas...
Ah Cheng has become like this.
It doesn't matter if the mermaid is dead, wouldn't it be more painful to see all this than to die?
Woo...
So sad. . . .
It's a fairy tale with Andersen's characteristics, fresh writing, and realistic meaning. I praise it~~~~ Author's reply:
Haha, blushing... Actually, this idea was proposed by Ye Da, I can't afford it, hide your face
Very good, very Andersen author's reply:
Tears... Can you explain what it means in words that I understand = =praise, derogation, or pure exclamation?
I can't believe my eyes
Are these two chapters one story? No, is this the same story as the first update?
I didn't write it carefully. The author's reply:
Uh... Bai Yi, believe your eyes, this is indeed a story... Author's reply:
It's just a different perspective... Eh?
The little mermaid's love died in the smoke and fire~~~~ It was quite satisfactory… She didn't know it herself... Acheng didn't know either… The little mermaid went away happily... Acheng lived happily and didn't have to be sad... Beat... None of the characters in the article were tortured... They only tortured the readers... Su with sinister intentions~~~~ Author's reply:
Look at the sky... I have written the copy, go and read it (Escape at the speed of light)
