Chapter 4: Little mermaid βA chocolate coin?β Lu Xie blinked, fully awake now. This was getting ridiculous. If this guy could find actual gold coins, why was he parading around in a seaweed belt? The clueless mermaid tilted his head in confusion. He didnβt know what "chocolate coin" was, but he hummed uncertainly, afraid Lu Xie wouldnβt accept his gift. To emphasize his sincerity, he leaned forward, practically shoving the coin into Lu Xieβs face. The coin hovered so close that Luβ¦- 85.9βKββ’βCompleted
- Chapter 5: FoamΒ For a fleeting moment, Lu Xie thought heβd been tricked by this idiot. Assuming the other was crazy, heβd lowered his guard and not only given away his real name but also failed to get one in return. Who would believe he didnβt have a name? What kind of fool did he take him for? Since the other party refused to speak, Lu Xie wasnβt about to press further. He sneered coldly, his lips curving up mockingly. Β The mermaid felt a sharp edge in Lu Xieβs gaze.β¦

- Chapter 6: Maybe if he kissed first? Lu Xie admitted to himself that the mermaid was the innocent victim here. He had vented his frustration at him because he couldnβt reach Lu Hui. But he would never say that out loud. He was the cold, merciless bounty hunter, and even when he was wrong, he wasnβt wrong. He snatched the gold coin from the mermaidβs hand and turned to walk into the shop. Without looking back, he could hear the mermaidβs footsteps following on the sandyβ¦

- After hearing the news, Hai Sanβer had been in low spirits. As soon as night fell, he went upstairs early. It seemed that Hai Sanβer wouldnβt be heading back to the sea tonight. Lu Xie closed up the shop and went upstairs to find his fish. When Lu Xie entered the room, he saw Hai Sanβer lying on the bed with his back turned. Closing the door behind him, he approached the bed. βAsleep already?β βNo,β came Hai Sanβerβs muffled reply. Only when he felt Lu Xie lie down beside himβ¦

- As Hai San'er said, only the power of gentleness could make the little pearl open its heart and grow strong. After this interaction, every time Lu Xie changed the water for the pearl, it would voluntarily emerge from its shell. Β The rooftop had a laundry area. Lu Xie blocked the drain, placed the pearl and the little fish together in the water, and used a brush to scrub the shell of the deep-sea spirit thoroughly. Β The pearl enjoyed spending time with Lu Xie during water changes. Itβ¦

- Lu Xie drifted off into a restless sleep, his mind spinning with thoughts of the merman. His dreams were a chaotic mix of fish and money, shimmering scales and glinting coins. One moment, he seemed to have it all; the next, it slipped through his fingers, leaving him standing alone in a vast, white void. He tried to shout, to call out the name he'd given the merman, but no sound came. The harder he struggled, the more suffocating the silence became until he abruptly jolted awake. Β The firstβ¦

- Lu Xie grabbed the umbrella nearby and walked to Hai Sanβerβs side. He didnβt know how to respond. He couldnβt exactly admit that he came up to check on him out of worry. He had thought this timid fish would be quietly sniffling amidst the raging storm, considering he usually looked like he was about to cry if someone so much as raised their voice at him. Unexpectedly, it turned out that this was a fish accustomed to storms and unafraid of wind and rain. Judging by the rhythm of his tail swaying,β¦

- Β After finally settling down and with Hai Sanβer eating his meal, Lu Xie thought he might fix something for himself too. But just as he stepped into the kitchen, he heard Hai Sanβer calling his name like a haunting wail. βLu Xieββ Was this fish doing it on purpose? The way he dragged his tone so long, it almost sounded like his brain had been waterlogged from years in the sea, leaving even his speech to ripple with imaginary waves. Β Lu Xie clicked his tongue,β¦

- "I think your memory isnβt that great either, speaking without thinking. What a load of nonsenseβif it were just you, your mermaid species wouldβve been extinct a long damn time ago." Lu Xie remarked, his hands never pausing as he spoke. He repeatedly rinsed the fish tank until satisfied it was clean. Afterward, he attached a hose to the faucet and began filling the bathtub with water. Β Hai San'er didn't take offense at Lu Xie's blunt tone. Instead, he patiently explained, "Our species isβ¦

- The sensation underwater was peculiar. Merfolk moved swiftly in the ocean, and Lu Xie could hear the bubbling of water all around him. The suffocating feeling in his chest remained intense, and just as he thought he couldnβt hold his breath any longer, Hai Sanβer leapt out of the water with him in his arms. Β The oppressive sensation vanished abruptly. Hai Sanβer lifted Lu Xie high over his shoulder, and fresh air rushed to meet him. Lu Xie barely had time to breathe before his chestβ¦
