It tastes just as good no matter when you eat it.
Yu'er followed suit and took a bite, nodding repeatedly, "Mmm, delicious."
"Dudu, why aren't you eating?" Yi Yi had already finished her own portion, but when she looked at Chen Dudu, he still hadn't touched it, staring longingly at his pancake.
Chen Dudu paused, then chuckled softly, "I still think dew tastes better."
"Then I'll eat yours for you!" Yi Yi picked up Chen Dudu's portion without any hesitation and began to chew it heartily.
Chen Dudu looked at her with a doting smile, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Oh, right, I brought you gifts!"
As Yi Yi spoke, she took out two more boxes from her bag, one for Yu'er and one for Dudu.
"What is this thing, and why is it wrapped so tightly?" Yu'er opened the box and took out a square object that looked like a brick, but much smaller and lighter than a brick.
"Yi Yi, why did you send us a brick?"
"Pfft... This isn't a brick, it's a cell phone."
"A hand... a chicken?" This doesn't look like a chicken at all. But she just saw a lot of people in the coffee shop holding something like this.
"It's not a chicken, it's a cell phone. This is super high-tech!" Yi Yi helped Yu'er turn on the phone and saved her phone number. "Let me tell you, this thing can make calls. Yeah, no matter where you are, as long as I dial, you can hear my voice."
"That's amazing?!"
"Of course! Besides, you can also watch videos and browse Weibo on your phone, which is really fun!"
"Wow--"
The two girls were engrossed in examining their phones while eating, occasionally letting out excited screams that drew glances from the other people in the cafe.
When they had almost finished eating, Chen Dudu slowly spoke up, "Let's go back to the jungle tomorrow. There's nothing we need to bring, just a simple packing is enough."
"Tomorrow?" Yi Yi and Yu'er exclaimed at the same time.
So fast?
Yi put down the pancake she had just eaten a bite of and suddenly felt a loss of appetite.
She seemed a little reluctant to part with it.
When I first arrived, I wasn't used to many things and thought about going back every day. But now...
"Yi Yi, don't you want to go back?" Chen Dudu's eyes dimmed slightly. From the way Yi Yi looked at that man, he knew she was no longer the Yi Yi he knew.
Yi nodded, then shook her head, her beautiful eyes looking pitifully at Chen Dudu. "Can we stay a little longer? There are so many things in the human world that I haven't seen yet. I want to see them before I leave..."
“Yeah, Dudu, I want to stay a few more days too. We don’t have such advanced things as cell phones where we are. I’ve finally come out on this trip, I don’t want to go back so soon.”
“But the human world is too dangerous,” Chen Dudu said in a low voice. “Have you all forgotten how humans treat mermaids?”
"..."
"If we are discovered by humans, we will suffer the same fate as the mermaids. Do you still dare to stay here?"
"But as long as we are careful, we won't be discovered by humans."
Clinging to her last glimmer of hope, Yi Yi whispered. Hearing this, Chen Dudu's usually gentle voice suddenly turned serious, "Have you forgotten that you revealed your true form last night and were almost discovered by the humans?"
How did Dudu know?!
"There won't be a next time." Yi Yi lowered her head, stirring her coffee with a spoon, creating ripples.
