Dad has always been proud of belonging to the merfolk. That's where his name, Yuren, comes from. Damn, it's really obvious. The strange thing is, it actually seems perfectly reasonable to me. Have I caught Dad's eccentric way of thinking?
Considering how narcissistic Dad is, I've always wondered why he didn't just name himself Yu Meiren. Shrimp Sauce told me that was the name of a famous beauty in human history!
"Your dad did want to use that name, you know. It was practically made for me, a perfect match! But someone had already taken it, and I didn't want to use a secondhand name. Only a one-of-a-kind name could match your father's peerless looks..."
...Doesn't he know that the name Yuren is even more common? The whole clan gets called merfolk...
As for my name, it also came from this fish who can't name things. Yu Yuyu: be a happy mermaid.
