Chapter 1: The baby fell into the bathtub
As graduation approached, Sheng Jing received more and more calls from Sheng Yecheng, but they were nothing more than three things: urging her to go home, work in his company, and go on blind dates and get married.
But Sheng Jing didn't listen to him. After graduation, he found a job in Jiangcheng. As for blind dates...
She didn't want her marriage to be treated as a commodity.
"I will not return to Huicheng. I am an adult and have the right to choose my own future."
Sheng Yecheng was furious when he heard her say this: "You have grown wings and want to fly!"
When Sheng Jing heard his words, he couldn't help but lower his eyebrows.
From the moment she disobeyed Sheng Yecheng's arrangements and filled out her own application for Jiangnan University, she had already taken off.
Fortunately, she never asked Sheng Yecheng for a penny during her four years in college, so now she naturally doesn't have to be threatened by Sheng Yecheng.
"Well, just think of me as someone whose wings have grown strong enough to fly away."
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Jing raised his head. Lin Zhi, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, retracted her head from behind the curtain, but after a while, she stuck her head out again.
"Ajing, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Linzhi stretched out three fingers of his right hand and swore.
Sheng Jing didn't care about these things, but in order to reassure Lin Zhi, she nodded and said to her, "Okay."
Lin Zhi felt like she knew Sheng Jing's little secret and felt closer to her. She got out of the upper bunk and said to Sheng Jing, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. If there's anything I can help you with, I will definitely help you."
During the four years of college, Sheng Jing only transferred to their dormitory in his junior year, and because they were not in the same major, their relationship had always been neither close nor distant.
However, the atmosphere in their dormitory has always been good. It's just that Sheng Jing is rather introverted and not very keen on going out to play. He often draws with a drawing board. The relationship between the people in their dormitory and Sheng Jing is not particularly close, but it is not distant either.
Linzhi still likes playing with Shengjing.
Sheng Jing is good-looking, and she has no resistance to good-looking people. However, Sheng Jing doesn't talk much, so it's not easy for her to get close to her.
"Yeah," Sheng Jing responded to Lin Zhi, and then said, "I found a job. I'll treat you to dinner."
This was the agreement between them in dormitory 301: whoever found a job would treat everyone else.
Their dormitory is a four-person room. One of them passed the postgraduate entrance examination, and one passed the civil service examination. Only Linzhi and Shengjing are looking for jobs.
Linzhi had found a job before and had already treated her roommates to a meal, and now it was Shengjing's turn to treat them.
"No problem, they both went to the library. I'll tell them when they come back."
"Well, you guys discuss what to eat. I won't be back for the next two days. I have to go check out the house."
After graduation, I will move out of the dormitory.
She has been looking for houses recently. Now that she has secured a job, she needs to decide on a house before she starts.
She made an appointment with the agent to look at several properties and planned to take a look at them and decide on one in the next two days.
She has two main requirements for housing: one is that it should be close to the company, and the other is that it should have a study.
Of course, it can’t be too expensive.
After graduation, I still have to buy a lot of things.
Although she earned some money at the university, she had to spend it frugally.
She is now very good at making plans for herself.
After looking at several houses on the first day, Shengjing was not very satisfied with any of them. Either they were too remote or they required sharing the house.
Sheng Jing still doesn't want to share a house. The character of her roommate is an uncertain factor, and she doesn't want to have to move out just because she can't get along with her roommate.
The next day, the agent took her to see an apartment.
"The original owner of this house was transferred out of Jiangcheng for work, so the house became vacant. He specifically asked me to find a tenant who would take good care of the house. I also thought you were quiet and gentle, so I thought you would be a good tenant, so I came to show you this house."
Sheng Jing just took a tour around the house with the agent. The decoration of this house is really good. The things are not the kind that are bought just for renting.
Moreover, there is an empty fish tank in his living room, which should be similar to what the agent said, and not a lie to rent out the house.
But the house was a little beyond Shengjing's budget.
"I'm just a recent graduate, and my salary is only a few thousand yuan. If I spend four thousand on rent, it's really beyond my budget."
The agent didn't have high expectations for her. He just said that he was bringing Shengjing to take a look, and he had other houses left and could take her to see them.
However, I have only seen the best one in Shengjing. After looking at other houses, I always feel that they are not satisfactory in every way.
The house viewing the next day ended in failure.
Sheng Jing did not return to school. She found a hotel to take a bath.
Tired, so tired.
The amount of exercise she had done in the past two days was almost as much as she had done in the previous month. Her feet almost felt like they were not her own. Now, lying in the bathtub and applying a hot towel to her eyes, she felt her whole body relaxed.
Her mind was still thinking about the houses she had seen in the past two days.
Without a doubt, the house with a fish tank was the one she liked best.
But the rent he asked for was too expensive, 4,000... Her job had a probationary period, and the salary during the probationary period was only 5,600, and renting a house for 4,000...
That basically means working with "debt".
So, even though she was really tempted by the house, she had no choice but to give it up with reluctance.
She then went on to consider several other houses.
There was a house that barely met her requirements, considering the distance and rent.
Why do you say reluctantly?
Because the house was obviously rented out for renovation purposes, and the furniture and appliances they bought were all just for show.
When I opened the door, I could still smell a pungent odor.
If I really move in, I'm afraid it will be bad for my health.
Considering her health, she felt that she could add a little more budget and book another house.
That apartment is a little smaller and the decoration is a bit old-fashioned, but the materials used are all good things, and it has been rented there for a long time before, so there are no strange smells.
Sheng Jing was thinking in his mind.
At this moment, a "bang" sound was heard, and Sheng Jing felt something fell into her bathtub, which scared Sheng Jing.
She quickly took off the hot towel from her face and opened her eyes.
What caught my eye was a touch of blue, and it was moving.
Sheng Jing held his breath and saw a blue fish tail. The fish tail swayed in the water, and then a child's head popped out.
Sheng Jing was so frightened that his blood froze and he fainted on the spot.
But not long after, Sheng Jing woke up again.
What she saw was a cute baby face, staring at her with eyes wide open.
Sheng Jing tilted his head slightly and saw that the lower body of this little guy was not legs, but a tail.
She was not dreaming just now, but really saw a small monster with a human face and a fish tail.
Sheng Jing wanted to faint again, but she didn't. She swallowed hard.
Now they were in the same bathtub, and the little monster was right in front of her.
She can't panic.
Sheng Jing forced himself to calm down and asked, "What... are you?"
Sheng Jing's voice was trembling because he was too scared.
"I'm a cub."
The little girl didn't know that Sheng Jing was afraid of her. After hearing Sheng Jing's question, she answered her obediently. Her voice was childish, almost like a two or three-year-old child, but when Sheng Jing heard it, he felt his blood rushing backwards.
This little monster can actually speak.
Is this world magical?
She calmed herself down and discussed things with the little guy named Zaizai.
"Baby, turn around first. I need to put on my clothes."
Now she was still in the bathtub and couldn't run away even if she wanted to.
She could only divert the little guy's attention first and then find a chance to run away.
The little girl was simple-minded. She listened to Sheng Jing's words and turned around, but after she turned around, her fish tail was aimed at Sheng Jing.
Sheng Jing looked at her little tail swimming in the water, looking so uncomfortable, and she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
Mermaid?
Is she still in the real world?
**
Sheng Jing put on his clothes while coaxing the little guy.
She left the bathtub and said, "Do you want to eat anything? I'll buy it for you."
"Sister?" Zizi tilted his head, a little confused when he heard this title, "Does Mommy like Zizi to call you sister?"
Mom?
She...she gave birth to a fish while taking a bath?
"Why do you call me Mama?"
Sheng Jing asked as he quietly moved out.
Since she knew nothing about this little girl, she didn't dare to stimulate her and could only move forward slowly.
But when she moved to the door, Zizi suddenly said, "Mommy, are you going out?"
Sheng Jing froze on the spot.
Discovered.
what to do?
Sheng Jing turned his head, bit his lip, and answered with a stiff upper lip: "I'll go out and buy you something."
When the little girl heard that she was going to buy something, she immediately became excited: "Baby, I want to go shopping with Mommy."
Sheng Jing:!!!
"You, you can't live without water, right?"
The cub let out a "woop".
"Yes, cub cannot live without water."
Hearing her words, Sheng Jing felt a little relieved.
This little one can't leave the water, so she's safe for now.
In order to steady the little guy, Sheng Jing said:
"You can't live without water, and I don't have anything to hold water and you, so there's no way I can take you out."
After hearing Sheng Jing's words, Zizi remained silent for a long time.
Sheng Jing did not dare to act rashly.
"Cub?"
At this moment, she heard the baby's slightly depressed voice: "Mommy, don't you want the baby anymore?"
Sheng Jing didn't know why, but when he heard this, he felt mixed emotions.
The child clearly recognized the wrong mother, so why does she feel guilty?
She hesitated again and again, and finally said, "Zizi, did you recognize the wrong mother?"
The grand scene is right at the door, just open it and you can leave the room.
But she only put her hand on the door handle.
"Baby, can you tell me where you are from?"
When the little mermaid fell into her bathtub, she was applying a hot towel to her face, so she didn't see where the little guy came from.
If she was from the sea, then she... might be able to help her go back.
Although Sheng Jing was frightened by the little mermaid just now, she knew that if the police caught her, things would not be easy.
Sheng Jing couldn't bear it. After all, she didn't do anything to hurt her and kept calling her "Mom" softly.
If she could help herself get back, that would be a happy ending for everyone.
Of course, the premise is to ensure your own safety.
When Zizi heard Sheng Jing's words, he pouted and his little tail swayed gently in the bathtub water.
"Zizi is from Xuechen Continent."
Xuechen Continent?
She frowned. The name didn't sound like a place name in China.
But why did she feel that her name was inexplicably familiar?
