And so, on a cool autumn afternoon, a man and a fish began a fierce competition.
Because the trajectory of Shen Cheng's fishing rod was vague, the mermaid missed the target frequently. However, this trick was no longer so effective later on. As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes. Later on, the mermaid could twist her waist and follow Shen Cheng's shaking of the fishing rod. After catching the fish, she would drop into the water perfectly with a posture comparable to that of a national-level diving athlete.
Until it was getting dark, Shen Cheng had only caught a few small fish the size of a palm, in addition to a bunch of junk that the mermaid had hung up.
Thinking it was time to go back, Shen Cheng put away his fishing rod and leaned over to look the mermaid in the water in the eye.
"Can you speak?" Shen Cheng asked.
The mermaid tilted her head and looked at Shen Cheng, looking confused.
Is it because the place where Huanya became was too remote?
According to Shen Cheng's speculation, this stupid fish should have the ability to speak. In the process of snatching the fish from Shen Cheng, it would make sounds like "hmm" and "ah", and it could also understand what Shen Cheng said.
But, while the ease with which animals transform into huanya depends on their social environment, isn't it strange that the huanya transformed from the fish in this lake can't speak? Even the huanya transformed from penguins in Antarctica can speak. Is this lake even more desolate than Antarctica?
And... cherry pink hair and a fish tail, what kind of fish is this?
Putting his doubts in his heart, Chen Cheng put on his fishing equipment, holding the bucket in his right hand and a large bag of underwater garbage in his left hand. He turned his head to look at the mermaid, thought for a moment, put down the bucket in his right hand, waved to the mermaid and said, "I'm leaving, goodbye."
The mermaid was startled, and then imitated Shen Cheng's movements and waved to him.
With a faint smile, Shen Cheng picked up the bucket and hurriedly disappeared from the mermaid's sight.
…
Although the old pier is near the hotel, the distance between the two is not very close. If it were the old Chen Cheng, he would probably have to crawl back to carry so many things and walk such a long distance.
But now Chen Cheng has both cat and dog phantom genes, and he has also been exercising during this period. So, apart from sweating a little while walking back, he didn't feel tired at all.
After disposing of the underwater garbage halfway, Shen Cheng returned to the hotel carrying a bucket filled with small fish.
Looking at the few small fish in the bucket, Lin Zhensheng looked puzzled. "Did you catch these at the old pier?"
Shen Cheng didn't answer, but just smiled with his arms folded, looking arrogant.
Lin Zhensheng slapped his head twice, said "weird" several times, and then went back to the front desk to continue reading.
It's another slow day for business...
He carried the bucket into the kitchen, processed the diced fish, and fried them. Shen Cheng placed a portion on a plate and brought it to Lin Zhensheng, then placed the rest on another plate and brought it upstairs.
After knocking twice, he pushed open the door of the girls' room, and what he saw was the scene of the girls sitting around a bed playing poker.
"Fish meow!" Seeing Chen Cheng, Cheese's eyes lit up first, and Lin Yuhui also waved quickly: "Senior, come here quickly!"
Chen Cheng walked up and sat between Lin Yuhui and Milk Tea, handed the plate of fried fish to Cheese, and asked, "What are you going to play?"
"Beat...Beat the turtle..." Milk tea answered with her head down.
The corner of Shen Cheng's mouth twitched: "Is it to beat the turtle?"
The punishment for failure is to stick small notes on it. Some cats have never played this game before and look eager to try it.
Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed. Speaking of which, during the time he opened the cat cafe, he would have dinner after get off work almost every day, then wash up and go to bed. He had never played this kind of family game before.
"Let's start, meow!" Cheese, with fish crumbs still on the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and shouted excitedly. It was still Sugar who gently wiped off the fish crumbs on the corner of Cheese's mouth.
…
When the game ended, it was already past seven o'clock, and the one who lost the most was... Milk Tea.
Seeing Milk Tea, with a small note stuck on her cat ears, looking at him with tears in her eyes, Shen Cheng's face turned red.
Adhering to the principle of never letting up when playing games, Shen Cheng played very seriously throughout the game, and then... he drew Milk Tea's card.
Milk tea is so easy to understand. Whenever Shen Cheng holds a card other than Wang Ba, Milk tea will look flustered, otherwise she will be relieved.
Seeing that Milk Tea was about to burst into tears, Chen Cheng sighed bitterly, rubbed Milk Tea's head like an old father, and began to pick up the small notes for her: "Okay, it's just a game, don't mind it, don't mind it..."
Sandang, who was still in a daze, suddenly brightened up and came over: "Master, help me pick up the little notes too."
Cheese followed closely behind: "Master, help me pick the meow too!"
Shen Cheng: “…”
Lin Yuhui, who was standing next to her, looked down at the small piece of paper she had already picked up: "..."
Damn, it was picked too quickly!
Feeling a sense of unease piercing his spine, Chen Cheng's heart tightened. He quickly removed all the paper slips from the three cat girls, then heaved a sigh of relief: "Alright!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuhui clapped her hands and said, "Let's go to the hot springs!"
…
The hot springs in Lin's Hot Spring Hotel are divided into three mixed rooms for men and women. After all, it is the signature hotel, and given the scale of the hotel, each hot spring is quite large.
Shen Cheng and the others were naturally divided into two rooms for men and women. Although there were few guests in the hotel nowadays, the Lin couple still diligently cleaned the place.
After changing his clothes, Chen Cheng walked into the men's bath and soaked in the hot spring. The comfortable temperature made him breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, he was the only one in the men's bath. It was quiet and even seemed a little deserted.
After changing to a more comfortable position, Shen Cheng closed his eyes and rested.
He planned to mention the matter of the mermaid to the Institute of Biological Sciences before going camping. His intuition told him that this stupid fish must be a very rare Phantom Mermaid. If he notified them now, they might assign him tedious tasks again, and his good vacation might be ruined.
Anyway, that stupid fish is not milk tea, so life is very comfortable.
Speaking of which, they're both Phantoms, so why can't Cheese and the others eat raw fish? Is this also a perk granted by the Phantom gene? Or is it because the environment of the stupid fish in Phantom is too remote?
While Shen Cheng was meditating, there was a sudden sound of falling water next door, followed by the sound of young women chatting.
Yes, the soundproofing here is not very good.
In fact, the sound insulation effect of the rooms in this hotel is very good, but the sound insulation effect between the men's and women's bathrooms is very poor, which made Shen Cheng once suspect that this was intentional by Lin Zhensheng.
The first thing that came was Lin Yuhui's devilish voice:
"Milk~tea~Why can't you grow up~"
