"We're really sorry, one of our performers isn't feeling well. We'll process your refunds. There will be no handling fee; you'll get a full refund."
People clearly didn't buy it.
"We finally managed to snag tickets, and you just dismiss us because you're unhappy?!"
"What a disappointment! If you can't perform, don't sell tickets! We've come all this way, and we haven't even asked you for our fuel surcharge yet!"
"You're telling me at the last minute that the performance can't be done? Are you trying to make a fool of us?"
...
The staff kept apologizing: "I'm so sorry."
"I don't care! I'm not leaving until I see the performance!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the crowd surged again.
"Yes! We won't leave until we see the performance!"
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the mess and then turned her gaze to Gu Qingyan.
She remained relatively calm and asked, "How did you know there was something going on here?"
Before Gu Qingyan could answer, the aquarium manager recognized him and quietly approached.
"Mr. Gu, what brings you here?"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead from anxiety. "What do you think we should do to resolve this?"
?
Mr. Gu?
Xu Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and asked, "Gu Qingyan, don't tell me this zoo is yours."
"I'm not that good."
Even through his mask, Xu Zhaozhao could feel his smile. "Only a small share."
Hiss... Yidian Shares.
This is utterly outrageous!
The commotion was noticed by people not far away.
Judging from the way the person in charge bowed and scraped to him, it wasn't hard to guess that Gu Qingyan was the so-called senior manager.
The war then targeted them.
"You're the boss, right? Tell me how to resolve this."
"We're not leaving today if we don't see the performance!"
"If you kick us out, I'll report you to the Consumer Association for deceiving consumers!"
The staff members desperately blocked the crowd from getting close to them.
The scene was in complete chaos.
"Zhaozhao, let's leave here."
Gu Qingyan grabbed Xu Zhaozhao's hand, trying to pull her away from this chaotic place.
"etc."
Xu Zhaozhao spoke up, grabbed Gu Qingyan, and left without saying a word.
Gu Qingyan looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Gu Qingyan, isn't this matter a bit troublesome?"
It is indeed a bit troublesome. The actress fainted at the last minute before the show started, which is a tricky situation to handle.
But you can't bring someone who's lying in the hospital back to perform, can you?
"It's nothing, just a small loss."
Gu Qingyan didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Then let me try."
Xu Zhaozhao grabbed his hand, eager to try.
Gu Qingyan frowned.
There are beluga whales in the pool, and they have to wear diving suits and fish tails to perform.
She's really crazy.
"Xu Zhaozhao, this is not an amusement park ride."
"I know."
Xu Zhaozhao lowered her voice, knowing that this man responded better to gentle persuasion than force.
"I have a diving certificate."
Although this happened in the original world.
"Have the coach stay upstairs and keep watch. If anything seems wrong, I'll come right away without delay!"
Xu Zhaozhao blinked her almond-shaped eyes, with a hint of coquettishness in them.
Gu Qingyan fell silent, and Xu Zhaozhao knew he was getting angry.
She quickly gave Gu Yulin a look, hoping he would lend her a hand.
Gu Yulin pondered for a moment and said, "I trust Mom, let her give it a try."
He had already devised a plan. If anything happened to Xu Zhaozhao, he would immediately activate the aquarium's drainage system to drain the water from the tank and ensure Xu Zhaozhao's safety.
Gu Qingyan didn't say anything more, but pulled Xu Zhaozhao and walked into the small door, with Gu Yulin following behind.
As they watched them disappear through the small door, the people became even more argumentative.
But soon, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Please take your seats according to your tickets. The mermaid show is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this broadcast, the people who had gathered together swarmed back into their seats.
"The actresses are all in the hospital, I want to see what kind of trouble they can cause!"
"I told you you could perform, but you just didn't want to show it to us! Now you have to perform for me obediently, or I'll give you a bad review!"
...
thump.
The subtle sound of water entering the glass drew everyone's attention to the highly transparent glass.
As the melodious music played, the scene quieted down.
A golden fish tail shimmered in the water. She wore a one-piece fishtail suit, the fish scales on the top of which were so lifelike that they perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure.
She quickly swam to the middle, where three pure white whales seemed delighted by her arrival and circled around her.
Her long black hair swayed in the water, and she wore diving gear, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
Even so, the visuals are breathtakingly beautiful.
Wow~
Gasps of amazement rose and fell from the audience, who stared intently.
Her limbs moved to the music—even though she couldn't hear the music at all, having only listened to it briefly before going on stage.
Holding onto the metal ring, every movement exudes beauty to the fullest.
As the last syllable faded, the lights dimmed, signaling the end of the performance.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the audience members finally came to their senses and left the stands in an orderly fashion.
The hall fell silent immediately.
*Smack*
The lights came on again, and Xu Zhaozhao was still in the pool, playing with the beluga whale.
Gu Qingyan emerged from the shadows and slowly walked to the high-transparency glass, his gaze never leaving Xu Zhaozhao for a moment.
He slowly placed his right hand on the glass, and the Buddhist prayer beads appeared, the red tassels swaying as if he could briefly touch Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao, who was playing with the beluga whale, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Gu Qingyan was.
Then... the mermaid came toward him.
She slowly exhaled and sank, her fishtail swaying as she moved closer to him.
Gu Qingyan was so close that he could see Xu Zhaozhao's smiling face through the glass.
She stretched out her left hand, which touched Gu Qing's right hand, separated by a layer of glass.
Gu Qingyan was stunned.
Click.
The sound of a camera shutter being pressed behind him snapped Gu Qingyan back to reality.
He removed his hand from the glass, his sharp gaze turning behind him, only to see his son.
Only then did he manage to calm himself down.
Gu Yulin held up his phone and tilted his head slightly. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just taking pictures of her."
I don't know what came over me, but I just turned on the camera without thinking.
Perhaps this man is indeed quite handsome.
When Gu Qingyan turned his gaze back to the pool, Xu Zhaozhao was already slowly rising, preparing to emerge from the water.
"Send it to me." This was said to Gu Yulin.
"Tch. Why should I show it to you?"
Gu Yulin outwardly argued back, but then opened his phone and searched for something on the screen.
Soon, Gu Qingyan received a new message on WeChat.
