From the start, he caught a mermaid on his farm. The beautiful mermaid gazed timidly at him, pointing softly at the fish tail caught on the hook. “Big… brother, it hurts. Blow on it.” Jian Xiangning named the mermaid he caught Jian Yu, meaning “surplus year after year.” He ran the farm, carried Jian Yu in a bamboo basket to sell produce at the town market, and cooked for him to help him regain his strength, until his fish tail transformed into human legs. Unfortunately, he was left with a limp. As time went by, everyone in town learned that the Jian Family Farm left its competitors in the dust with its unique beginner-grade produce and incredibly delicious food. Jian Xiangning also gradually realized that Jian Yu’s possessiveness toward him had become downright obsessive. Even more terrifying, the farm’s weather and pollution levels were tied to the mood of this mermaid princeling! Jian Xiangning couldn’t help but admit: “Keeping a mermaid happy is harder than running a farm!” Bonus scenes: 01 Jian Xiangning took Jian Yu to the market. He sold some mushrooms and kept a few to make mushroom soup. That night, the System’s weather forecast was bizarre: one moment clear, the next rainy. A small patch of scales swelled on Jian Yu’s abdomen, and his purplish-red tail thrashed restlessly on the bed. In a panic, Jian Xiangning put Jian Yu in the pond. “Xiao Yu? Jian Yu?” The mermaid didn’t answer. He only wrapped his tail around Jian Xiangning’s arm and murmured, “Big brother, it’s… hot.” 02 Ever since Jian Xiangning had raised Jian Yu into a lame-legged merman, he had taken even better care of his bargain little brother. But at night, whenever he heard the click-clack of wheelchair casters, Jian Xiangning knew Jian Yu had come to peep at him again. Jian Xiangning couldn’t face the feelings he couldn’t bring himself to put into words, so instead he took his anger out on Jian Yu for sneaking poisonous mushrooms. He almost took the Jian Yu from his hallucination to the market to sell him. 【System alert: Weather changing from clear to heavy rain. Make sure your livestock have shelter.】 As rain poured down, Jian Xiangning lay in bed, restless and distracted. When he turned over, a sickle pressed against his neck, then slowly moved to the neck of the person holding it. “Big brother, since I’m no use to you anymore, I can do it myself.” 03 Qiao En, from the western region, won a pass to the Jian Family Farm and followed the directions to reach it in Huihai Town. The farm had three-yellow chickens that tasted like cream, purplish-red corn that tasted like sweet berries, extra-creamy milk, and grass carp with hardly any bones… He went on a delightful tour of beginner-grade agricultural products. As he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse inside a little cabin deep in the farm. A white-eyed man sat in a wheelchair, clinging to the farmer as they kissed. He rubbed his eyes, unsure whether what he saw was real. Beneath the blue blanket over the white-eyed man’s legs, the tip of a purplish-red fish tail was visible. *Not a pure level-up story. Everyday life and feel-good farm management. *The top has a limp. Please don’t read if that bothers you. Below is a preview of 《Tentacles Want to Be Seen Too》: Lu Jin’an is frail and often gets sick. More regrettably, he is blind. But on his eighteenth birthday, Lu Jin’an went missing on a rainy night. His parents thought he had hanged himself from a tree because of his terrible luck. But he returned in one piece, and, miraculously, he could see again. He even got into college. Everyone called it a medical miracle. Only Lu Jin’an knew that a clown had parasitized him that night. The clown called itself “Deadlights.” It grabbed Lu Jin’an’s hand in a sewer, transformed into an eyeball with tentacles, climbed up, and then… parasitized his eye. Deadlights fed on people’s “affection” and ordered the socially anxious Lu Jin’an to make friends with others. 【Kid up ahead, go give him a piece of candy.】 “Can I not? I’m not good at dealing with kids.” 【If you can’t even handle a kid, what good are you to me?!】 Lu Jin’an shuffled over and smushed the cotton candy he’d bought against the boy’s face, then ran off as fast as he could. The boy let out a wail that echoed through the heavens. 【See that guy going into the library? He mentioned you on the campus confession wall. He’s in the School of Management too.】 “So?” 【Follow him and sit beside him.】 Lu Jin’an dawdled over and sat beside the guy, raising his book in front of his face. 【Ask him about an accounting problem.】 “Um… hi, could I ask you a… a question about… *cough, cough, cough* I can’t take it anymore.” The frail Lu Jin’an dashed out of the library, leaving the bewildered guy to the scorn of everyone there. 【Lu Jin’an!!!! What can you even do?!】 Deadlights grew ravenous inside Lu Jin’an. At last, on a rainy night, it could no longer hold back and crawled out through Lu Jin’an’s blind eye. Deadlights looked at Lu Jin’an in exasperation. Its black tentacles stroked his brow, then slid down to his blind eye. “Since you can’t meet my demands, you’ll have to produce affection yourself to fill me up.” “I want you to love me!” Who would have thought that, four years into their symbiosis, Lu Jin’an would become an overworked office worker overflowing with affection? Deadlights began to feel sick and dizzy. It blamed the feeling on one thing: It had eaten too much. To ease its suffering, it had to get rid of all the admirers around Lu Jin’an. It began making unreasonable demands of him. 【Pour your coffee on your boss. Don’t just stand there!】 Lu Jin’an clumsily bumped into his boss and spilled coffee all over him. The boss looked calm on the outside, but his thoughts were in turmoil: Is Lu Jin’an trying to get my attention? Deadlights: Aaaaaah! I’m furious!!! 【Irritable nonhuman top x socially anxious, frail bottom】 *Some elements are borrowed, but the story is mostly original. It’s fine even if you haven’t seen the source material!
