"Stink fish, stay away from the fish, how can there be such an ugly fish."

"What kind of aesthetic sense do stupid humans have, finding such an ugly thing."

"If you touch the fish again tonight, it will drown itself."

Lin Ting looked at the two fighting fish in the glass fish tank in the security booth.

Betta fish are notoriously bad-tempered, but their excellent appearance makes them the pinnacle of beauty in the eyes of humans. Because their tails resemble a wedding dress with a train, they are also known as the fish wearing a wedding dress.

The betta fish's tail swaying freely in the water is like a loose-tail wedding dress, which is particularly beautiful.

One of the pure pink betta fish is closely followed by a red and blue betta fish. The two fish swim back and forth between the rockery in the fish tank, chasing each other.

The pink betta suddenly stopped swimming among the rockery. The variegated betta, which hadn't noticed, chased after it. The pink betta slapped the variegated betta on the head with its tail. The defenseless variegated betta tilted its body and almost hit the rockery.

Gollum

"Ugly fish, don't chase after fish. Don't you know how ugly you are?"

'If you chase the fish, the fish will eat you.'

After Lin Ting took a look at Douyu, his eyes turned and swept over to the security guard who was sitting in his office chair watching TV series.

There is less traffic in the mall here, and the staff are relatively relaxed.

Lin Ting knocked on the glass window. The security guard who was watching a show quickly put away his phone. When he saw that it was a little girl, his heart was relieved a little.

The security guard opened the window of the security booth and asked, "Little girl, what can I do for you?"

Lin Ting didn't answer the security guard. Instead, he asked, "Uncle, are these two fighting fish yours?"

"Yes, it looks good, right? This colorful betta fish is my favorite one. Do you like betta fish too, little girl?" The security guard showed off his betta fish with a proud look on his face.

Betta fish are the most beautiful species of fish among many species, but they are also the most difficult to raise.

In addition to having high requirements for water temperature, they also like to get sick, and what they like most is fighting, to the point where it's either you die or I'm disabled.

"How can it be beautiful? Are humans blind?"

'This is the ugliest fish the fish has ever seen.'

Humans and fish have different aesthetic tastes. The colors that humans think are beautiful may not be beautiful in the eyes of fish, especially mottled colors, which fish will find ugly.

"Uncle, did you buy these two fish together?" Lin Ting asked instead of answering.

Although the uncle didn't know what Lin Ting was asking, he still told the truth, "We didn't buy it together."

"I bought this pink betta first, and then I found out it was a female. So I thought about buying a male to pair them up. Maybe they can lay eggs and hatch other bettas."

"I carefully selected this colored male fish. Its color is the most beautiful among all the male fish."

Lin Ting interrupted the security guard's chatter and said, "Uncle, you should separate these two fish into different tanks. If you don't, this pink fish will either drown or jump out of the tank."

'Man, can you understand what I'm saying?'

"Tell the humans with poor eyesight to separate me from this ugly thing. It's so ugly that even the fish can't eat."

The interrupted security guard stared at Lin Ting with a confused look on his face.

“…”

"Why separate the tanks? Aren't these two fish doing fine?"

"I was also worried about the difficulty of mixing the two fish together. After putting them together, I observed their condition every day. They are in much better condition than other people who shared mixed tanks online. Since then, the two fish have not fought."

"This little pink fish really likes this colorful fish I bought. The two fish stick together all day long. They have a great relationship. How can we separate them?"

After hearing this, the pink fish couldn't help but roll its eyes and turned its body over with its belly facing up.

'The eye that saw the fish liked the ugly fish.'

Just by listening to the sound, you can feel the pink betta's deep helplessness.

"Stuck together doesn't necessarily mean they love each other. The pink betta thinks the variegated one is ugly, so she's trying to get rid of the variegated one every day. It's the variegated one that's unilaterally clinging to the pink one. Didn't you notice that there's always a lot of leftover fish food every day?"

The security guard nodded in confusion. "It's true that there's a lot left over, but I feed them the same amount every day as before. There was never any left over before, but lately they can't finish it all."

Lin Ting explained, "That's because the pink bettas thought the colorful ones were too ugly to eat, so they left a lot of food."

"You really don't like it? Don't people on the Internet say that betta fish will fight if they don't like it? They will even bite their tails. But I've been observing them all the time and there are no signs of injury." The security guard defended himself in confusion.

If there was an injury, he would separate the tanks before Lin even heard about it.

Lin Ting coughed lightly, "Is there a possibility that the pink betta is a female? In the animal kingdom, there is a certain gap in the fighting power between males and females."

"The pink betta couldn't beat the colorful one, so there was no fight. Instead, it was trying desperately to get rid of the colorful one every day."

“If you lock people up with people you don’t like, they’ll try their best to escape.”

Lin Ting added, "Uncle, if you don't want to lose this pink betta, separate the tanks as soon as possible."

"If you really want to find a mate for your betta to breed with, try to find one with the same color so they don't repel each other."

'Yes, otherwise we would have lost the fish completely.'

"Thank you, sweet-smelling human."

The security guard wanted to ask Lin Ting how he knew that the pink betta fish didn't like the colorful one, but before he could ask, he saw Lin Ting had already walked away.

Bai Xi followed Lin Ting like a little tail, her eyes sparkling, "Sister Ting, can you even understand what fish say?"

He just ran to Lin Ting to join in the fun, with his ear pressed against the security booth, but he didn't hear the fish talking, he only saw the fish making bubbles.

"I understand a little bit. Let's go back quickly. It will be hot soon." Lin Ting took two quick steps under the scorching sun and came to the shade of the trees on both sides of the road.

The weather in Jiangcheng in June was already very hot, and the sun made the ground warm.

Two kittens ran quickly under the shade of the tree, accompanied by their anxious cries.

'That human has a nice big knife hidden up his sleeve.'

"A human hiding a knife must have done something bad, or intended to rob someone."

"Meow, I saw in Grandma's square box that humans would rob people on the street. The human with the knife just now went towards Grandma. Meow, should I tell Grandma to be careful and safe?"

"What if it really is a robbery? We should tell Grandma to be careful."

The other cat echoed and ran towards the mall.

The square box that Xiao Lihua mentioned should be a TV.

Because it is next to the zoo and there are some residents nearby, this is the busiest time for the mall. Some people even set up stalls outside the mall.
