"I would rather they stay and go back to the sea, then I would never see them again."

"I also want to see mermaid tails. Just imagine them swimming in the ocean, it must be one of the most beautiful sights in the world. Those low-intelligence carbon-based creatures have no idea how to appreciate beauty."

Yan Nuan suddenly wanted to call You Jing, to hear his voice, and to tell him that she fully supported their decision to stay.

After Youjing saved her last time, as a token of gratitude, Yanshi bought Youjing a cell phone to make it easier for them to stay in touch.

You Jing doesn't socialize much; only his uncle and Yan Nuan's family have his phone number, so there's no need to worry about it being leaked.

"I'm going out for a walk to clear my head. What do you want for dinner? I'll bring it back for you."

"Bucket rice, with eggplant and persimmon as vegetables, and any meat you like."

OK!

Once you leave the dormitory building, turn right at the back of the building. That road is practically deserted, perfect for making a phone call.

...Leave the dormitory building and turn right at the back of the building. That road is practically deserted, perfect for making a phone call.

He encouraged Youjing as usual, telling him not to be afraid, and promised to bring him delicious food when he had no classes at school.

After hanging up the phone, Youjing rolled around on the ground, bored out of his mind.

The room was dark and small. To prevent peeping, the curtains couldn't be drawn, and no wind could blow in, making the room very stuffy.

The whale gurgled twice more, then went to the bathroom to prepare the salt water, released its tail, and comfortably soaked in the salt water.

My uncle's family specially designed aquariums for mermaids, and it's incredibly comfortable to soak in them. But my uncle says that if you want to get used to living in human society, you can't stay in the water all the time. You even have to train yourself to not get into a coma for dozens of hours without touching water.

Mermaids will fall into a coma if they stay out of the sea for too long. This coma reduces their basic energy consumption. If they get a lot of water during this time, they can wake up and recover immediately. Otherwise, they can only wait until they reach the critical value. Their bodies will automatically search for water. If they can't find water in a short time, they will get a dried mermaid.

Mermaids are slightly more resilient than humans, and dried mermaids can potentially be rehydrated into fresh, live mermaids.

Should we test how long we can endure this? Yu Jing thought seriously.

Dry skin is really unpleasant, but if you're going out to play, you can't always go to the beach, and besides, he also wants to see other parts of the world.

You Jing began to seriously plan for the future. As for the comments online, he didn't even see them, and even if he did, he wouldn't pay any attention to them.

He only cares about what people he cares about think of him. As for strangers, who cares about them? His own life is a mess, yet he has the leisure to point fingers at other people's lives.

Thanks to them, District 7 is now as lively as a festival. Many people who don't surf the internet think that the mermaid standee has launched some kind of event.

In an instant, mermaids became the most popular topic and element.

Under the urging of the judge, the Legislative Ministry of District 7 drafted the "Mermaid Management Ordinance" in three days. The first article expressed the position that mermaids are friends of humans and enjoy the same legal rights and obligations as humans.

The management regulations caused a huge uproar as soon as they were released. Si Yue immediately said that if people could not accept them, they could leave. In District 7, they had to abide by the laws of District 7.

Meanwhile, merfolk can re-register their household registration at the public security bureau and enjoy exclusive merfolk benefits.

After Yan Nuan found out, she dragged You Jing to register and get her new ID card and household registration book three days later.

Seeing "Mermaid" listed under ethnicity gave me a sense of pride in being recognized and acknowledged.

"Come on, let me treat you to a meal. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat. You haven't been eating or sleeping well these days, and you look haggard."

You Jing blinked, not denying it. Although he had a good appetite, he was indeed not eating well (because his uncle was not coming back and no one was cooking) and not sleeping well (the water abstinence exercise made his skin dry and uncomfortable).

"I want to eat fish." After saying that, Youjing licked the corner of his mouth. He hadn't eaten fish in a long time, mainly because the fish cooked by humans was so delicious.

"Wait a minute, let me ask which fish restaurant is good." Yan Nuan asked Bian Yuqing, a local, and quickly received a reply.

While waiting for her food, Yan Nuan remembered the question her mother had asked her to ask.

"Excuse me, if I may ask, is there reproductive isolation between mermaids and humans?"

"What is reproductive isolation?" You Jing said he had never heard of the term.

"It's about whether or not I can have a baby."

"Sure, my uncle has a child."

"Is your uncle's child also a mermaid?"

"No, a child of the same gender as a mermaid is a mermaid, and a child of the same gender as a human is a human. But if a mermaid's child has a baby with a human, the baby will basically be a human baby. After a few generations, a mermaid baby may appear, which is a phenomenon of atavism."

"When mermaids and humans live together, it reduces the probability of mermaids being born, which is why your hometown doesn't allow mermaids who have left to return."

"That's part of the reason, mainly because they don't like humans, after all, their ancestors were harmed too much by humans."

"And what about you?"

"Whether I like it or not has nothing to do with whether or not they are human."

"She's quite unique."

The mermaid incident has finally come to an end, and Yan Nuan can now return to campus life with peace of mind.

The weekend before the National Day Golden Week was a "battle of a hundred clubs," where various clubs recruited new members. They set up booths on the basketball court, with dozens of clubs lined up one after another, making it look like a vegetable market.

Yan Nuan came out with her roommate to join in the fun. She didn't have much free time, but she still wanted to get to know more classmates with similar interests and create some memories.

COS Club, Drama Club, Hiking Camp, Film Appreciation and Shooting, Makeup Club, Roller Skating Club, Basketball Club, Dance Club, Anime Club, etc.

Yan Nuan has found a club she likes, but she is still hesitant.
