Seeing how stubborn she was, Xie Hui simply sat there and planned to have a long talk with her.
"Why are you called the little mermaid?"
"Because my father called me the little mermaid."
Although Yinyin is indeed hidden inside and cannot come out, she is still willing to answer Xie Hui's questions. She will reply to Xie Hui's words, and if she really doesn't understand, she will obediently say that she doesn't know.
"But if you don't come and see now, how do you know I'm not your father?"
"Don't try to trick me out. My father lives, lives at home. Just send me back with the shell."
Although she was too persistent, Xie Hui also felt a little helpless, but this firm attitude is quite good if you look at it from another angle, at least she won't be abducted casually.
"How are you sure I'm not your father?"
"The voice is different."
After Yinyin finished saying this, she shrank into her clam shell and started ignoring people.
Xie Hui thought about it carefully, the original owner's voice was extremely hoarse because of the upside down day and night of his work and rest, and the fact that he never ate well.
After taking a rest, he bought some medicine, but he didn't expect that because of this, the little mermaid couldn't recognize him.
"Maybe your father has this voice."
The little mermaid, who had no intention of giving him any more responses, was so angry that she kicked the shell with her tail when she heard this sentence.
"Nonsense! My father's voice is much worse than yours!"
It should be words of disgust, but when she said them, there was a strange pride in her tone.
Xie Hui coughed twice, deliberately lowered his voice, imitating the original owner's previous voice and shouted:
"Little mermaid, come out and eat."
"I thought you were a good person before, but I didn't expect you to lie to me by pretending to be your father's voice."
No matter what Xie Hui said, Yinyin just huddled inside and didn't come out, Xie Hui didn't urge her anymore, just waited silently.
Yinyin hid inside, and after struggling for a while, she still wanted to come out to have a look, thinking that if that person really didn't want to let her go, then she would quietly hop back with her tail to find her father!
There was a very soft voice, which was quite obvious in the quiet night.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Hui saw that the clam shell was opened a crack, and the soft light inside came out.
The next second, the little head of the mermaid was drilling out.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Yinyin made sure that there was no one else in the water, so she swam out with confidence.
When he was about to familiarize himself with the environment, he just poked his head out and saw a figure staying there.
She froze for a moment in fright, and then subconsciously wanted to run back.
"Voice?"
Fortunately, Xie Huikan was able to stand up in time. After standing up, the very familiar figure diluted Yinyin's strangeness to that voice, restrained his urge to run back, and swam over to take a closer look.
"Wow, is it really Dad? Why did your voice change?"
After finishing speaking, Yinyin stretched out her hand towards Xie Hui, who hugged her up.
Fortunately, the temperature of the food the mermaid eats is relatively low, so it doesn’t matter if it is cooled. I fed Yinyin some fruit puree, and seeing how her cheeks moved when she chewed, Xie Hui restrained himself from wanting to poke her.
Yinyin slept for a long time this time, and was already too hungry. After confirming that it was her father, she gradually relaxed, and planned to wait until she finished eating.
At first, Xie Hui fed her, but Yinyin seemed to dislike her feeding too slowly, so she took the spoon and ate it.
After she was full, Yinyin thought of asking her father why. When she woke up and saw such a strange place, she thought she had gone to heaven.
After taking a closer look and found that it was not heaven, I started to get scared, maybe some uncle took me away behind my father's back.
Xie Hui wiped her mouth clean with a tissue. He didn't dislike it, but if he didn't clean it up in time, it would easily muddy the water.
Moreover, in the client's memory, the little mermaid actually liked to be clean at the very beginning.
It's just that the client didn't even bother to live, so Yinyin followed suit and started to make do with it.
"Dad, why did we change places?"
"I don't like the old place anymore, little mermaid."
That place was still a private property arranged by the Federation when the client stayed at the border. It would be a waste if there were too many houses left unused. It would be better to change it to one of the same size, but with a much more comfortable sound.
The little mermaid, who was obediently lying on her father's lap, immediately raised her head when she heard Xie Hui's words, frowned and corrected:
"Call Yinyin."
"Didn't you say your name was the little mermaid?"
"No, call Yinyin."
Seeing that she was about to start to worry, Xie Hui stopped teasing her, nodded and agreed:
"Okay, call Yinyin."
After realizing that this was her home instead of being taken away by someone else, Yinyin perfunctorily posted her daddy, then jumped into the water, found a toy and got in.
Seeing Yinyin playing inside was quite fun, Xie Hui was a little relieved to sit there, seeing her jumping up and down was not boring at all.
After a while, when the familiar pain began to appear in his head, Xie Hui stood up and waved to Yinyin who was still addicted to the drilling game.
"Dad is a little sleepy, can you go to rest first?"
Yinyin, who was originally there, swam to Xie Hui's side in an instant, said goodnight to him, and then watched him leave.
Xie Hui cleaned and disinfected Yinyin's tableware before returning to the bedroom. As soon as he lay down, he couldn't control the frown between his brows, and his body trembled from the pain.
At the beginning, the client was regarded as the most dazzling star in the Federation, and he was also highly regarded in the family. After arriving at the border, he made countless contributions.
Being abandoned by the family after such setbacks, coupled with the non-stop pain day and night, turned the originally high-spirited person into an indifferent and world-weary appearance.
Before Xie Hui, he only knew about this from the client's memory.
But now that he has experienced it himself, this kind of pain made him feel that he couldn't bear it for a moment.
The pain started from the head and spread to the limbs, even breathing was very difficult, and soon the cold sweat on the back wet the clothes, and Xie Hui also passed out because of the severe pain.
Even though he had passed out, he was still tormenting him, and within three minutes he was forced to wake up again because of the pain.
Repeatedly, I don't know how long passed, Xie Hui finally closed his eyes.
After falling asleep this time, Xie Hui felt much more comfortable. His whole body seemed to be soaked in warm water, and he had a good night's rest.
The next day, after Xie Hui opened his eyes, he smelled a strange, faint smell. When he lifted the quilt and wanted to get up to prepare breakfast for Yinyin, he noticed that there were two red blankets next to the blanket. of fish scales.
Thinking of the sudden cessation of pain last night and the two fallen fish scales, Xie Hui went outside.
This new home was much larger than before, and it was a bit of a struggle to find the little mermaid. It was only after the second search that Xie Hui saw the red tail hidden under the lotus leaf.
"Voice?"
A bubble spit out from the surface of the water, but there was no intention of coming up to talk to him.
"Is it something that Dad didn't do well? Why doesn't Yinyin want to talk to Dad?"
The little mermaid who was originally hiding there floated up anxiously upon hearing this, lay there, raised her head and stared at Xie Hui in denial:
"No, I'm willing to talk about it, it's just that the weather was too hot just now, and I want to sleep."
Xie Hui stretched out his hand to hug her, but Yinyin suddenly hid behind her, pinned her hands behind her guiltily, and murmured with her head drooping:
"Dad, it's so hot today, I want to stay in the water."
"come over."
Xie Hui's face turned cold, and he waved at her. Seeing her father's cold face, Yinyin became a little scared, and after thinking about it, she swam over obediently.
"dad…"
Xie Hui picked her up and checked her carefully, only to find that some of her fish scales had indeed fallen off.
At this moment, he recalled the memory of last night. At that time, because his head hurt so much, he didn't even bother to cover him with anything, so he fell on the bed and closed his eyes.
At first, I thought it would be convenient for Yinyin to swim to each room in this new home, but now I somehow feel that it is actually not very good.
"Doesn't it hurt if the fish scales fall off?"
"No."
Yinyin shook her head, it really doesn't hurt now.
"It's okay if I go to bed without a cover at night."
"No, it needs to be covered."
Xie Hui just said a simple sentence, and this stupid little fish obediently explained what he had done before.
"Okay, then Dad must remember to cover the quilt before going to bed."
"Um!"
Yinyin nodded her head, Xie Hui noticed that her hair was a bit messy, so she helped her remove the rubber band and tied a new one, Yinyin also looked good after changing her hairstyle.
"Go and play for a while, I'll go get you something to eat first."
Following the client, Yinyin can only eat one meal in three or four days. Xie Hui searched the information on the Internet and knew that this is an unhealthy way of life, so she wanted to change from now on to make her life healthier.
"OK."
Yinyin stayed there by herself, so bored that she vomited bubbles, and after answering, she made some splashes with her tail.
Xie Hui finished cooking the food, and after confirming that the nutrition was balanced and the taste was good, he served it to Yinyin.
After she finished eating, he noticed a little tiredness on her face and sent her to a resting place.
"Dad, remember to call me if you need anything."
"it is good."
Xie Hui stared at her peaceful appearance after she fell asleep for a while, thinking of the balance left now, he felt that finding a job was imminent.
He himself didn't care, but he couldn't let Yinyin eat those things like himself after eating them, although maybe the little mermaid didn't mind at all.
Things related to mermaids are very expensive, and those who have no wealth can't afford it.
In the living room, Xie Hui thought about it. After a long time, he took out the optical brain of the original owner and found a contact person.
