If he's unhappy, he might punch himself in the glass.

It is estimated that he will live to the age of 32.

Swim down to the little mermaid, touch her soft body, and with the help of the water's buoyancy, as long as she doesn't struggle, it's easy to lift her up.

My heart was pounding, so I was very careful while carrying him.

As expected, as soon as he lifted her up a little, the little mermaid, like a slippery eel, darted away, not only escaping from his arms but also lashing him with her tail.

He slapped Qin Ye down.

Seeing the pearls at the bottom of the water, so many that they could fill at least a basket, my eyes sank behind my diving mask. I've cried so much.

I swam towards the little fish, but the little mermaid swam away, moving so fast it was like she was teleporting. I tried to catch her for half an hour.

I didn't even touch the fish's tail.

Exhausted and panting, I had no choice but to go up first, planning to lure them with food.

Sitting on the steps, I tore open the bag of egg yolk pie, patted the water, and said, "Come and eat some egg yolk pie."

Normally, as soon as Xiaoyu hears "pai" (a local dish), no matter what he's doing, he'll definitely prioritize eating and run faster than anyone else. But today, when I called him to come eat, he didn't move.

I'm afraid he'll take advantage of me.

That's why I deliberately didn't come for a day.

Little Fatty Fish is usually easy to coax. One pie isn't enough, two or three will do. As long as you give him enough, he'll always come crawling over with a smile.

"Will I be thrown away if I don't eat?"

Qin Ye shouted.

The little mermaid still wouldn't come out, so Qin Ye went to change the trash can bag in the office to a clean one, and then took three large bags of egg yolk pies. He went up the steps, splashing water all over himself, wiped it off with a cloth, and then sat down.

Glancing at the bottom of the water, the little fish, no longer curled up, lay straight down like a fishbone, looking just like a child being lazy.

Qin Ye knew that being harsh with him might have made him feel wronged.

With a helpless sigh, he apologized, "I was wrong, I'm sorry, let's go out and eat."

The little fat fish, which can't go without a meal, hasn't eaten even after three meals. Now there are more than thirty fish swimming in the pond, all avoiding the light wick.

It seems he's really angry this time.

"I opened it?"

He tore open the packaging bag and held up the little fish underneath for a long time, but it didn't move. Qin Ye tried everything to persuade him, but he never mentioned putting the golden-tailed mermaid into the ocean cabin. If the source wasn't solved, the little mermaid wouldn't pay attention to him.

They were so fierce, and then they left me standing there. It makes me feel so wronged.

Qin Ye put the egg yolk pie into his mouth.

Even the little mermaid didn't come up to snatch it.

Soft approaches won't work.

To get serious, Qin Ye threw all the egg yolk pies into the trash can right in front of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu reacted.

Anxiously, he pressed his face against the glass.

Qin Ye thought he would come up and beat him up, but instead he was splashing pearls in the water, his little mouth opening and closing against the glass, as if that would get the egg yolk pie into his mouth.

Qin Ye's heart melted at the sight.

The research focused on the mermaid body, and like the doctor-patient relationship, feelings shouldn't develop. Qin Ye's kindness towards the little mermaid was initially motivated by ulterior motives, and it remains so now.

Dependence and trust are among the key elements.

Only with his cooperation will the subsequent experiments proceed smoothly.

At first, we put the small fish in the pond. Although we were busy, we watched the surveillance footage for those few days. This mermaid seemed to have the magic to purify people's wariness. All the staff members were at ease when they saw him.

This kind of research is still quite dangerous.

You think he's docile, but he suddenly attacks you, and you don't even have time to save him.

Qin Ye raised him alone.

To avoid misleading Nan Yu, they should also lower their guard against the other mermaids.

The system had reminded him that Qin Ye was a villain, though it wasn't that he was particularly evil. It was just that the protagonist was Bai Feng, the god who saved the mermaid race, and Qin Ye had to consider the research institute's interests.

Qin Ye is not a soft-hearted person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is now.

Sometimes he just seems easy to talk to.

It also seems like they dote on the little fish.

Only he himself truly knows what he's thinking.

"If you don't come soon, I'll throw it all away," Qin Ye said.

I just won't go up.

Qin Ye threw all the egg yolk pies into the trash can.

So many, so many, they're all gone! (???︿???)

Waaaaaah...

Pearls were falling again. When she was sad, she shed many tears, which formed large pearls that floated on the water and slowly fell. Qin Ye felt bad watching this and put down the pie in his hand.

They no longer wear diving gear.

Taking advantage of Xiaoyu's momentary lapse in attention and his concern for the pie, he darted underwater and finally caught her arm. Nanyu tried to run away again, but Qin Ye, holding his breath, reached out to grab her waist. Xiaoyu wouldn't let him hold her and struggled to escape.

Qin Ye knew he wouldn't be able to catch him.

Find that pouty little mouth that's sulking, and stick it to it.

Having watched too much TV, the chubby baby also knows the meaning of kissing, something that can only be done between partners. Having spent a lot of time with humans, he even understands human etiquette and shame, and his fair little face instantly turns red.

The fish's tail flapped and thumped.

Qin Ye couldn't hold his breath any longer, so he pulled the fish up to breathe.

The little fish pushed him away and swam off again.

Qin Ye is now completely out of reach.

After getting soaked, they went ashore, stepped down the stairs to the lowest point, and could see the fish more clearly from below. The whole fish was red, with its back to Qin Ye. Its arms, back, neck, and cheeks were visible, and if it weren't for the scales covering it, its tail would probably be red too.

Qin Ye touched his lips.

Because when you're in the water, you want to breathe air more.

The tactile sensation during the kiss was not very noticeable.

But the fish is shy, which is quite interesting.

The trash can itself was clean. Qin Ye took out the egg yolk pie and placed it on the steps. After he left, the little fish would eat it.

The ocean-going cabin used to have surveillance cameras, but they were removed and haven't been reinstalled since. Although it's being used again now, Qin Ye doesn't want to pry into Nan Yu's privacy too much.

One hour later.

Sure enough, the little fish crawled out.

My stomach is growling with hunger.

He felt like he hadn't eaten in ages.

I skillfully tore open the packaging, ate one first, then tore open five or six more, stuffed them all into my mouth and chewed. I was so hungry, so hungry, so delicious.

That scoundrel Qin Ye, he won't forgive him so easily!

That tastes really good.

Chew, chew, chew.

The little mermaid tore off a piece of trash from the steps. It was inconvenient for her to walk on land, but she still wanted to put the trash in the trash can. After eating her fill, she came out of the water and slowly moved her fish tail to throw it away.

After throwing it away, it was put back into the water to soak.

Qin Ye arrived three hours later and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the egg yolk pies had been eaten.

As long as they're willing to eat it.

Holding a newly printed A4 sheet of paper, I went to the glass where the little fish was lying, tapped it, and as the little fish looked at me, I held up the paper and said, "Studying, time to change the pie."

The little mermaid is already full; trying to trick him with this won't work.

Unless he increases the quota significantly, there's no point in discussing it.

No matter how Qin Ye tried to coax him, he wouldn't listen. Seeing that it was almost late at night, he went to the office to get a quilt and laid it on the floor to sleep, so that Nan Yu could see him as soon as she turned her head.

The little mermaid hummed, unhappy.

Swimming around in the water.

Qin Ye smiled at him, making Xiao Yu feel uncomfortable. She pouted and looked very upset. At midnight, Qin Ye got sleepy and went to sleep.

Mermaids can sense the stable magnetic field that exists when humans are asleep.

Pressing against the glass, looking at Qin Ye not far away, Deng Xin pouted, then touched her mouth and smelled it. She couldn't smell anything, but because she was in a bad mood, she felt like she smelled bad.
