After food poisoning, every one of Ying Hui's tentacles and hundreds of suckers lost their ability to stick to things.
She became a defective octopus and began to suffer rejection and bullying from her family. Once cheerful and outgoing, she gradually grew insecure and depressed, hiding in her den all day and refusing to go out, weighed down by gloom.
She also had a wife she'd married for love. Si Xu told her that there were many two-legged beasts on the mainland, with advanced testing equipment and highly skilled doctors.
The two octopuses made a unanimous decision to risk a trip to the mainland to seek treatment.
Ying Hui was still very upset. By day, she put on a smile and earned money by making milk tea. At night, when she returned to her rented room, she'd feel emo and plop down on her pile of tentacles to wipe away her tears.
Si Xu would always comfort her gently, kiss her tentacles, put blush on them, and tie them into pretty bows.
On the night they'd saved up enough money and were about to go to the hospital the next day, Si Xu said, "Honey, what if we don't go back to the sea... and just live on land, together?"
Ying Hui suddenly realized that maybe the thing she'd been dwelling on all along wasn't that important.
