Hai Sanβer clung to Lu Xie, crying pitifully, refusing to let go. His wails nearly deafened Lu Xie, who glanced at the bag of food he had brought back from the street in desperation. Β "Stop crying, stop crying. I bought some food earlier. Try it." Β Curiosity got the better of the naΓ―ve merman. Still sniffling, Hai Sanβer turned to look at the bag on the floor. He asked hesitantly, "Is it better than the pumpkin taro bun?" Β That pumpkin taro bun was something Lu Xieβ¦- 85.9βKββ’βCompleted
- 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¦

- At the break of dawn, the light of the rising sun softly illuminated the calm ocean surface, creating gentle ripples. Hai Sanβer stretched lazily, pushing himself up from bed. He had been on land for too long and decided to head into the sea while the coastline was still quiet. Beside him, Lu Xie was sound asleep, and Hai Sanβer thought it best not to wake him. Having mastered the art of opening and closing doors, Hai Sanβer figured he could leave quietly on his own. Dressing carefully to avoidβ¦

- 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¦

- A small figure, about the size of a palm, with delicate features like a porcelain doll. Its brows and eyes were clear, and its expressions were lively. A vibrant life unfolded in front of Lu Xieβs eyes, causing his blood to boil, and a sour feeling surged from his throat. He desperately suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but his body still couldnβt help but tremble slightly. βWhat should we do now?β Lu Xie, for the first time, didnβt know what to do. He lowered his voice and cast a pleadingβ¦

- "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¦

- 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¦

- Β "Do you even know what you're saying?" Lu Xie raised his eyes, staring expressionlessly at the merman in front of him. According to Hai San'er, he was still in his mating season, which meant he needed to engage in mating to nurture and grow pearls. Β But as a perfectly sane human, Lu Xie remained skeptical of Hai San'er's explanation. Even if he believed it, there was no way he would mate with a merman. He wasnβt insane. Β Hai San'er, however, knew exactly what he was saying. Heβ¦

- 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¦

- The next day, the seaside town returned to its usual calm. Aside from a few buildings that had been destroyed in the explosion, everything else seemed just like before. The TV signal was disrupted, and the radio kept reassuring everyone that the explosion was just an accident, that the war would not spread to their country, and that the public should not panic. Some of the panicked people, unwilling to leave their hometown, chose to trust the local government. Others, with a stronger sense of crisis,β¦
