"You can even keep track of time?!"
"I sometimes find lost cell phones in the sea, and I can check the time on them."
"Can you understand it?"
"Of course I can understand it!" Yun Qi exclaimed anxiously when she saw Yu Shaojie's disbelieving expression. "I really can understand it!! And I always feel like I should be human, not a mermaid. You have to believe me!!"
"Okay...okay...don't get agitated, I believe you!" Yu Shaojie reassured Yun Qi. "Then tell me why you feel like you're human?"
"I know Chinese characters! I can use a mobile phone! I can tell the time! Sometimes I find mobile phones that don't need a password, and I can read the messages on them. The most recent news I saw was about the death of a famous basketball star, XX, in a plane crash."

Yunqi was intrigued; she desperately wanted to know about her lost memories.
