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¦- 85.9βKββ’βCompleted
- 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¦

- 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¦

- The night breeze swept through, carrying the salty dampness and chill of the sea. The ocean appeared shrouded in a thin mist, exuding a deep, mysterious aura. Silvery moonlight danced on the rippling waves, merging the sea and sky into a seamless expanse of inky darkness that seemed to ensnare the senses. Occasionally, the low hum of a distant shipβs horn echoed, its sound rising and falling with the waves before fading into the night. Under the moonlight's gentle caress, the waves surged steadily andβ¦

- βEh?β The mermaidβs mind still couldnβt process the meaning of Lu Xieβs scolding. Before he could figure it out, Lu Xie had already turned around and headed toward the small shop. Just moments ago, Lu Xie was urgently calling his name, yet now he was ignoring him completely. His mood had changed faster than flipping a book. Hai Sanβer didnβt dare linger, afraid Lu Xie might leave him behind, so he hurried to catch up. βAre you still mad?β Hai Sanβer trailed after Lu Xie like aβ¦

- 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¦

- 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¦
