Yu Shaojie sat down next to Yun Qi and pressed on while the iron was hot: "Qiqi, now that you've decided to live in the human world, you need to tell me some basic information about yourself. For example, how long can you keep these legs, and under what circumstances will you turn back into a fishtail?"
Yunqi: "I don't know either. Before, when I was on the deserted island, my fish body would automatically turn into legs when it dried in the sun, and it would turn back into a fish tail when I wet it again."
"Well... let's try them on slowly later." Yu Shaojie looked at Yun Qi. "Let's prepare some clothes for you first."
Yu Shaojie made a phone call and ordered someone to send over some women's clothing, including underwear...
After Yunqi finished eating the cake, she went to pick up the pearls on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm picking up my tears."
"I know you're picking up your tears, but what's the point?"
"If you ever run out of money and can't afford to eat in the future, you can sell these for money."
Yu Shaojie: "...You mean well, but I shouldn't be so poor that I can't afford to eat, right?"
(Yu Shaojie's inner thoughts: Can't this silly fish wish me well for once??)
Yunqi smiled broadly and said, "It's alright, better safe than sorry!"
"..."
Then, Yu Shaojie watched as Yun Qi picked up her tears and hid them behind his back, and she really did hide them...
Yu Shaojie asked curiously, "Where did you hide the pearls?"
Yunqi said, "I hid it in my storage space."
Yu Shaojie was shocked and incredulous: "You have storage space?!"
Yunqi nodded: "Yes."
Yu Shaojie handed her the phone: "Hide it in your storage space."
Yun Qi nodded, took the phone, and the next second it vanished into thin air. Yu Shaojie was somewhat surprised and hurriedly went to his room to get another spare phone to call the original one. The phone's message was: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later."
After confirming once again that Yunqi had nowhere to hide her phone, Yu Shaojie stared at Yunqi and said, "Alright, I believe you have storage space now. Take out my phone."
Yunqi opened her hand, and her phone appeared out of thin air: "Here, your phone."
Yu Shaojie took the phone and saw that it was not turned off, so he deduced that Yunqi's storage space was equivalent to another space.
How much storage space do you have?
Yunqi gestured: "About this big."
Yu Shaojie's eyes lit up. Judging from this, it's about a cubic meter, which can hold quite a lot of things!
Storage space is something everyone dreams of, and this silly fish just told him that. It's like being sold out and still helping the seller count the money...
Yunqi started to feel sleepy, and she rubbed her eyes.
"Tired?"
Yunqi nodded: "Mm."
"Go to bed. You can sleep here."
"Oh." Just as Yunqi was about to fall asleep under the covers, she suddenly remembered something and sat up, looking at Yu Shaojie.
"W-what's wrong?"
Yunqi reached out to Yu Shaojie: "Can I have my little mirror back now?"
Yu Shaojie was both amused and exasperated, and handed the makeup mirror to Yun Qi.
Yunqi took the makeup mirror, happily kissed it, then hid it in her storage space and drifted off to sleep contentedly…
Looking at Yunqi's sleeping profile, Yu Shaojie went into another room to check the surveillance footage brought by the bodyguard.
In the surveillance footage, Yu Shaojie saw Yun Qi's initial joy at receiving the makeup mirror, followed by her panic at hearing someone approaching, causing her to leap haphazardly onto the second-floor deck... Unexpectedly, she encountered someone again, and hastily jumped onto the third-floor deck. She was incredibly unlucky, jumping all the way to the top floor, where she saw an open window and crawled inside...
Now, he believed that the fish in front of him was truly naive. After all, using such a rare species as a mermaid to deal with him was incredibly extravagant, and this silly fish even had its own storage space! Everyone coveted that kind of storage space!
In any case, if he had them, he definitely wouldn't be willing to send them to the enemy to be used as spies. What if they were turned against him? It would be too much of a loss!
Xiaoqi: Qiqi, why did you expose the storage space?
Yunqi: It's easier to stay by Yu Shaojie's side if you have enough value, isn't it?
Xiaoqi: That's true.
Then Xiaoqi excitedly said: "Qiqi! You just cried casually and shed five mermaid tears! You'll be collecting 100 soon! You must cry more often in the future!"
Yunqi: ……(ー_ー)!! I don't want to talk to you!
Yu Shaojie and Yun Qi agreed that the existence of the storage space would be a secret between them, and they wouldn't tell anyone else!
Yunqi nodded solemnly: "I won't tell anyone! This is a secret between Shaojie and me!!"
For the next month on the cruise ship, Yu Shaojie basically stayed with Yun Qi, rarely leaving the room, teaching her some common sense about the human world so that Yun Qi could quickly integrate into it.
Knowing that humans need to wear clothes, Yunqi prepared several sets of clothes in her storage space in case of emergency.
Yu Shaojie also accompanied Yunqi to experiment with the changing patterns of the fish tail and legs.
After a day, Yunqi's legs were still in pain, and she was thirsty. She kept drinking water throughout the day.
Yu Shaojie encouraged Yun Qi to persevere: "Qi Qi, keep going! I believe you can do it. After all, you don't want others to discover your mermaid identity, right? What if they find out..."
Yunqi trembled with fear and quickly said, "I can hold on!"
The next day, Yunqi was extremely thirsty, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. She was listless and only food could make her feel a little better.
By the third day, Yunqi was unable to walk anymore... and drinking water was no longer effective...
