After Raising a Mermaid

1.

Having never been to the human world, Yuan Xi was full of curiosity about it.

On his sixteenth birthday, Yuan Xi wanted to sneak ashore and have some fun. His older sister was worried he might get into trouble, so she told him the story of the Little Mermaid.

The mermaid had turned her beautiful tail into ugly legs for the prince. Every step she took felt like walking on knives, and in the end, the prince still got together with someone else.

What a terrible prince!

And human legs were so ugly!

He didn't want to feel like he was walking on knives. He was terrified of pain.

Yuan Xi thought it sounded horrible and never dared dream of going to the human world again.

Then, after he turned eighteen, his mother gave him a beautiful crystal necklace. It glittered, and in the sunlight it reflected a blue glow. Shen Xi loved it so much that he even held it while he slept.

That night, the blue glow lit up, and Shen Xi disappeared with the necklace.

Lu Yanzhou had just run a bath and was about to take off his clothes when a beautiful little merperson appeared out of nowhere in the bathtub.

The little merperson hugged his beautiful golden-blue tail and looked at him with confusion and a trace of wariness.

Even Lu Yanzhou, who was usually worldly and experienced, had never seen anything like it. After a moment, he asked Shen Xi, "Can you walk on your own?"

"No!"

Shen Xi shook his head.

He didn't want to grow ugly legs like the Little Mermaid, with feet that hurt as if they were being cut by knives.

"Carry me..."

As he spoke, he held out his arms to ask for a hug.

Lu Yanzhou: "..."

So he was a spoiled little fish after all.

Everyone knew that Lu Yanzhou, the current head of the Lu family, was ruthless and decisive. He had risen to the top in just a few short years.

It wasn't that no one had tried sending people to his bed, but President Lu was cold and unfeeling, and no one caught his eye.

One of Lu Yanzhou's friends came over for a drink.

Then he saw Lu Yanzhou, who everyone thought was too proud to look at anyone, personally cooking at home for a beautiful young man.

After cooking, Lu Yanzhou carried the boy to the dining room. The boy didn't walk even once the whole time.

Friend: ???

Was he dreaming, or was he dreaming?

A spoiled little fish had been taken in by the family. He couldn't walk or get dressed, and he even managed to burn himself while eating.

The spoiled little fish was strange. Even after growing legs, he still didn't dare put his feet on the ground.

By chance, Lu Yanzhou learned that Shen Xi was afraid to walk because of a fairy tale, and couldn't help laughing helplessly.

So he was a little silly fish after all.

After realizing he liked the silly little fish, Lu Yanzhou began finding excuses to indulge himself, both openly and in secret.

He took every opportunity to take advantage of the silly little fish at home, and later even carried him to the office.

But later, the silly little fish learned that walking didn't hurt at all, and Lu Yanzhou's perks were gone for good.
