The Mermaid's Fall

My name is Tang Yu. During the summer after graduating from high school, it seemed like I was always running into strange things. The waterless rental apartment suddenly flooded into a stinking marine park. Mutated seafood appeared out of nowhere in the fridge. Blood-seeping scales and pearls coated in mud were scattered across the floor... And late at night, a tall, gloomy shadow would press down on me. Fine, sharp, icy teeth would cling to my neck and lick at it, while a slick fish tail coiled tightly around my violently trembling waist. In those silent nights, strange yet satisfied gasps rang out again and again. At last, I remembered where all these bizarre things had begun. On the eve of my eighteenth birthday, I went to a party at sea with my fiance. Ever since I was born, Grandpa had told me I wasn't allowed near the ocean until I turned eighteen. So before I boarded the party yacht, I had never touched the real sea. I would never forget that terrifying night on the water. I fell into a storm at sea, while my fiance and the others stood on deck, watching my panic with mocking smiles. The cold seawater gradually engulfed me and stole my breath. But soon, the panic spread to their faces. I fell into the bone-chilling embrace of a man. Leaning against his bare chest, I heard his heart pounding wildly with excitement. Then I saw the gleaming fish tail that had created the storm. The yacht sank, and I became its only survivor. I awoke from the nightmare. Its master was clutching a pearl that looked like an eyeball and eagerly offering it to me, while that cold fish tail was wrapped tightly around me. So it wasn't a dream. He had come for me. *As long as you're in the sea, I can sense you. Obsessive, devoted, powerful merman seme X calm, pitiful beauty uke Reading guide: 1.
