There are two most embarrassing things in Lin Xi's life: after learning to swim for three years, he still hasn't learned to breathe; and after he choked in the water again and sank to the bottom, scales grew behind his ears.
She became a mermaid. The most useless mermaid in history who can't even learn to breathe, whose tail flicks out when she gets emotional, and who can still hear the "victim's last words" while eating seafood.
Lu Yu has been looking for her for seven years. There are 237 "suspected mermaid" cases in his database, and the 238th is Lin Xi, a stupid girl who stays in the swimming pool every day until closing. He came to her door with instruments and said he wanted to do research. As a result, he continued to study and became her exclusive "ashore translator".
But Lin Xi's mother was once another mermaid - she pulled off her scales with her own hands just to be a "normal" wife and mother. The choices of two generations overlapped on a tidal night. Lin Xi stood in the sea and asked himself: Be a fish or a human?
Lu Yu squatted on the shore, holding a ring in her hand that was restored using the spectrum of her mother's scales.
"Your mother had to pull out her scales before she dared to love anyone. You don't have to—I can handle whatever you look like."
