- 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. 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. The pearl enjoyed spending time with Lu Xie during water changes. It…

- The mermaid was utterly engrossed in the drama. Right as the plot reached a crucial turning point, the screen cut to commercials. Frustrated, he flipped through channels with the remote but couldn’t find anything that caught his interest. With a disappointed sigh, he put the remote down, his hand absently wandering to his waist. The elastic waistband of his shorts clung snugly to his skin, but the space between his skin and the fabric was empty. His pearl—where was it? The…

- The air was tense, almost crackling, as Lu Xie and the mermaid exchanged a heated argument. Moments ago, they’d been at each other’s throats—now, the mermaid stood ankle-deep in the water, his shimmering tail suddenly manifesting, throwing both their rhythms off-kilter. For a creature of legend, even he hadn’t expected to slip back into the water so impulsively. Still, the little “baby” was back, thanks to Lu Xie. Perhaps it was best to let things cool down for now. “This time,…

- The mermaid noticed Lu Xie staring at him. Straightening his upper body while keeping his knees in a kneeling posture, he asked, “What’s wrong?” Lu Xie couldn’t very well admit he was pondering whether the mermaid could be sold for cash. Running a hand through his hair, he blurted out a random excuse, “I was wondering what you eat. Do you eat fish feed?” He had previously fed the mermaid his own meals, but now that he realized how precious this mermaid was, he figured…

- Lu Xie grabbed the umbrella nearby and walked to Hai San’er’s side. He didn’t know how to respond. He couldn’t 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,…

- 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 couldn’t hold his breath any longer, Hai San’er leapt out of the water with him in his arms. The oppressive sensation vanished abruptly. Hai San’er lifted Lu Xie high over his shoulder, and fresh air rushed to meet him. Lu Xie barely had time to breathe before his chest…

- 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 ship’s 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 and…

- “Eh?” The mermaid’s mind still couldn’t process the meaning of Lu Xie’s 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 San’er didn’t dare linger, afraid Lu Xie might leave him behind, so he hurried to catch up. “Are you still mad?” Hai San’er trailed after Lu Xie like a…

- 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. The first…

- Hai San’er 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. "Stop crying, stop crying. I bought some food earlier. Try it." Curiosity got the better of the naïve merman. Still sniffling, Hai San’er turned to look at the bag on the floor. He asked hesitantly, "Is it better than the pumpkin taro bun?" That pumpkin taro bun was something Lu Xie…
