Qin Ye went over and hugged him. He liked to touch Nan Yu's arm and squeeze his hand.
Mermaids live on the seabed year-round, much like babies soaking in amniotic fluid. When exposed to air, their skin becomes very smooth and soft to the touch.
The little mermaid is chubby, with a fleshy feel, just like touching a child.
Qin Ye took the little fish to the ocean cabin. Mermaids are fish too, and can't live without water. When the wick went into the water, it was even more slippery than a loach, and it was impossible to catch. When it jumped into the water, it splashed a lot of water, soaking the man.
Qin Ye: "..."
When he touched the water, his mind cleared up. He remembered Jin Le and quickly swam back. Qin Ye saw that he seemed to be planning a surprise attack, so he jumped down the steps without daring to walk slowly, for fear of being pulled down again.
The little mermaid pouted, unable to reach anyone.
Climbing the steps, he spoke: "Fish, fish."
"gold."
"Blink blink".
He made gestures while speaking, afraid that Qin Ye wouldn't understand. However, he stopped hitting the glass and started hitting the steps. The steps were made of pure cement, and the first hit didn't make a sound.
The little mermaid breathed on her palm before putting it to her mouth, gritted her teeth, and gathered her strength. Qin Ye's eyes widened, and she quickly stopped her: "Don't hit him! He's healing!"
It's too late.
The force gathered in the fist was unlike that of a tail. With a loud bang, Qin Ye felt the ground shake twice. The cement shattered, but thankfully, it only cracked. The little mermaid's hand hurt a bit from the punch, so she withdrew into the water and soaked for a while.
He dived down, his two big eyes fixed on Qin Ye.
Qin Ye had a headache. He opened the valve, and the little fish slid directly into the water through the pipe. He grabbed one, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed away, his cheeks puffing out. His eating manner was quite cute.
The little tail swished back and forth in the water.
While eating, he said, "Bling bling, gold."
Qin Ye: "You eat first, and I'll take you to see it after you finish eating."
The little mermaid nodded emphatically.
He was eating the fish, his belly visibly bulging, but before he was full, the fish was gone. He swam to the fish outlet, reached his arm in and rummaged around, trying to see if there were any left.
After searching for a long time, it was empty.
Seeing that Qin Ye hadn't left yet, he swam over, braced his arms on the steps, jumped up, and slid down the steps on his bottom. He burped, patted his belly, and said, "Not full."
His pronunciation was clear and accurate.
Qin Ye was afraid he would hit him, so he retreated more than four meters. Although his bite force was weak, he didn't know if he would survive that punch.
"Little fish, you can't eat too much. Be good, and I'll take you to see that golden-tailed mermaid in a bit."
"I'm not full!"
He patted his belly again in protest, and his tail fin slapped the floor as well. He became fierce, and Qin Ye dared not approach him any further.
Food is delivered in fixed quantities every day.
Qin Ye only asked Nan Yu for five catties of fish.
It ensures a balanced diet without making the fish too fat. The little fish has a double chin, and when it curls up, its belly has three layers. Its overall body length is similar to that of a human, but its weight is the same as its height.
She is already severely overweight.
Qin Ye did not arbitrarily control his diet.
Based on factors such as hormone secretion, nutrient absorption, and weight, eating less and exercising more is the optimal solution.
Otherwise, they won't be able to find a vein for the IV drip.
"I'm not full! I'm not full! I'm not full!"
The hungry little mermaid became irritable, stomping his feet like an angry human. He kept slapping the ground with his tail fin, the slaps getting louder and louder. Qin Ye felt pain listening to it, but said patiently:
"Shall I take you to see that golden-tailed mermaid?"
The little fish pouted and nodded, but its expression still showed displeasure.
Qin Ye was hesitant to go over. After thinking for a moment, he went back to his office to get some snacks. When Nan Yu saw him leave, she stopped patting the floor and rolled over to him.
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Ye turned around and stopped.
The little fish had already rolled to his feet.
"..."
As it was blocked, its head was raised. Because it was lying face up, Qin Ye could see that chubby little face and its round, perky, shimmering bottom.
I couldn't resist squatting down, wanting to touch it.
As expected, the large tail fin lashed out, but Qin Ye dodged it and said, "I'll carry you to eat, don't hit me."
The little mermaid hummed in agreement, as if he hadn't been the one who hit him earlier. Upon hearing about food, he immediately smiled, opened his arms for a hug, and Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief and picked him up.
He strode towards the office.
Arriving at the sofa, Qin Ye took out an egg yolk pie from the drawer.
He handed it to Nan Yu.
The little mermaid tilted her head and made a questioning sound: "Huh?"
Qin Ye: "It's delicious, you should try it."
The little mermaid usually lives in the sea, eating fish or snakes, or occasionally cracking open a couple of sea urchins for a treat. He's never eaten or seen the egg yolk pie that Qin Ye is holding.
I took it, licked it with my tongue to make sure it wasn't prickly, and then took a small bite. At first, I couldn't taste anything and turned away in disgust.
I might as well just stuff the whole thing into my mouth.
Chew, chew, chew, and you've finally eaten the core inside.
Eyes shining, chewing, chewing.
After finishing one, he wanted more, so Qin Ye tore open a bag for him.
One bag after another, the remaining grain all went into his stomach.
Qin Ye: "Is it delicious?"
The little mermaid smiled and nodded happily.
"I want more."
Qin Ye said as if coaxing a child, "That's all, how about we eat it tomorrow? I'll take you to see your friend first."
I wasn't full, but I enjoyed the meal.
The little mermaid was obedient and let Qin Ye hold her as he took her to the laboratory. Jin Le was in bad shape; her body was covered in instruments, her scales had been removed, and she was surrounded by tubes. Her redness had faded, and her face was deathly pale.
Nan Yu was astonished.
He struggled to jump off Qin Ye's arms, hopped to the glass, and raised his fist to smash it. Qin Ye grabbed his arm and said:
"Don't hit him, we're saving him, he can't be exposed to germs inside."
The little mermaid suddenly cried. Qin Ye: "..."
Tears condensed into delicate, warm pearls, which Nan Yu caught in her hands, and as she cried, she looked down at them.
Seemingly not feeling enough, she closed her eyes and cried again.
A moment later, he lifted his eyelids again.
She had already cried through half a handful of pearls, that was enough. She sniffed, then accidentally choked and coughed, losing her balance and swaying to the side.
Qin Ye hugged her, touching the little mermaid's chubby belly, which was soft like a cotton ball. Deng Xin carefully held the pearl in one hand and wiped away her tears with the other.
He handed the pearl to Qin Ye.
"huo".
"huo".
Mermaid tears can be used as medicine, and they have tried it, but the effect was not significant.
I rubbed his frizzy little head. His hair is magical; it floats in the water, and when it comes into contact with the air, it dries quickly with just a couple of wipes and shakes, leaving it fluffy and making his little face even cuter.
He can understand the little mermaid's desire to save her kind.
But for the Golden-Tailed Mermaid, it's now up to fate.
"It's been used, and it's still the same. You can keep the pearl yourself."
Nan Yu shook her head, stubbornly handing the pearl to Qin Ye, her words unclear: "Fish, huo, huo, chi."
Qin Ye, unable to bear his fuss any longer, could only take the pearl, stuff it into his pocket, and say perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll grind it into powder for him to eat later."
The little mermaid shook her head again, her anxious features furrowed, and she kept repeating those words: "huo, chi".
"Okay, give it to him," Qin Ye coaxed.
