Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At first, there were only three people surrounding the small fish and studying it. Now, there were four of them in the living room. Vivian just joined them. After hearing about the little one's origins, she stared open-mouthed and asked, "Did this just hatch?"
"She did it." Hao Ren pointed to the innocent Lily, who was squatting on the sofa and scratching her face with her foot. He then lifted his arm to indicate that he was entangled with the little fish and said, "This little fish has pletely taken me as her mother, somebody help me."
Vivian curiously reached over to touch the little mermaid's tail. The little mermaid was bolder. She did not dodge. However, when Vivian tried to get the little mermaid out of Hao Ren’s arms, the little mermaid resisted fiercely. She flapped her tail violently and hit the vampire’s hand without hesitation. This frightened Vivian.
"It's been like this since just now," Hao Ren said and sighed helplessly. "At the beginning, she was still willing to swim in the basin for a while. But after she got tired, she came to me and rested on my arm. You see, she pletely won’t let go."
The little mermaid curled her tail slightly and sat on Hao Ren’s arm. She stared at the strange people around her with inquisitive eyes. She was a fingerling with great ability to adapt and feel the changes in the atmosphere around her. She was unusually nervous when she first arrived in a strange environment or met a stranger. But, as long as there was no danger in a certain period of time, the little mermaid became bolder. Now, she was pletely unafraid of people and things around her. She was just looking around in amazement, wondering why other people did not have long tails.
The little one stayed quiet for a while but, as Hao Ren was trying to figure out a way to get her back into the basin again, she suddenly jumped away. She then hopped and flipped around on the coffee table afterwhich, she began to emit a loud cry, which was sharper and nastier than before.
"What’s wrong?" Hao Ren was suddenly confused. He stepped forward, trying to calm the little mermaid down but, that just made her more aggresive. Lily and the others were startled, and hurriedly came forward to help. Nonetheless, nobody had any experience in taking care of a little kid. All of a sudden, the living room was in chaos. The little mermaid got even more excited when she saw the scene. She shouted even louder to entice them. Nangong Wuyue thought the little one had probably been dehydrated for too long, and was feeling unfortable. So, she made a small water ball, attempting to get the mermaid wet. After that, she forcefully threw the little mermaid into the basin. However, it did not work, and she was almost bitten. Lily made faces and scratched the little mermaid’s tail, trying to make her happy. Instead, she scared the little mermaid. Finally, Vivian thought of something and asked, "Is she hungry?"
And it reminded everyone that newborns were very prone to feel hunger. However, Hao Ren as well as the other three half-baked guardians looked at each other for quite some time and realized there was a problem. "...What do mermaids eat?"
"Don’t look at me." Nangong Wuyue waved her hand and explained, "I'm a siren but also, a hybrid siren. I drank milk when I was little."
Lily asked without thinking, as usual, "Do you have any milk then?"
Everybody was speechless.
"Go and get everything in the fridge plus, whatever snacks you guys have. Let’s try them one by one." Being the ace guardian in the house, Hao Ren was stood on the sofa and gave instructions. "Take anything edible you have. This mermaid from a different world may want to eat something we have. Lily, put your molar stick back. Do you think such a tiny little thing can bite that?"
Everyone went back to their own rooms to find food. Hao Ren remembered that he had half a box of cookies in his room and ran back to get it. The little mermaid was probably really hungry at the moment. She was busy messing around on the coffee table, and no longer pestered Hao Ren. Seeing Hao Ren run away, she seemed to understand that he was going to find food for her. She just stared at him and watched him walk away but, she did not jump up and follow him.
Hao Ren rushed back to his room and found the half box of cookies on the desk, which he left two days before. However, when he ran back to the living room, he saw a scene that almost stopped his heart: a black and white cat was on the coffee table, curiously sniffing the little mermaid and the mermaid was ignorantly using her thin hand to poke the cat’s nose!
Hao Ren yelled, "Rollie!" He had not shouted so loudly for ages.
Hao Ren swore that, since the cat believed it was called "Rollie
