And who can complain about a seemingly innocent kitten?

So Qi Zhichen took a few deep breaths and silently did psychological construction for himself.

What's wrong with cats? It's not human beings yet...... The merfolk themselves didn't make it clear.

Uncle Cat also dragged the charging cable over with the power bank, how far-sighted, and the power bank is such a heavy thing, a weak kitten must have spent a lot of effort, it seems that the usual canned food is not fed in vain......

After such a psychological construction, Qi Zhichen would not accidentally shake his tail in the heartache of the electronic products that were unfortunately destroyed by the cat, adding another hole to this already simple little bathtub.

He straightened his upper body half helplessly, and reached out to smooth the head of Uncle Cat - it was successful, and it seems that the animal friendliness of the mermaid race is quite high.

If it were in normal times, as long as Uncle Cat had not recovered from the hatred of his teeth, he would never let him touch a single cat hair.

Maybe it's the fate of cats and fish engraved in their genes.

Uncle Cat snorted again, flicked his tail and wandered at the door of the bathroom for a long time, until Qi Zhichen suddenly thought of something, and asked him to go to the kitchen to drag a few bags of unopened salt, and then ran away with a vigilant expression.

Qi Zhichen was left with a sad face and slashed open the salt bag with the mermaid's sharp nails, trying to bring out a bathtub of seawater for himself.

After all, mermaids are not freshwater fish, and it always feels wrong after soaking in tap water for a long time.

He sprinkled salt and rinsed the salt grains scattered on his tail with water, a scene that looked like he was making salted fish.

Qi Zhichen complained calmly in his heart, and waited until he had poured out the few bags of salt stored at home, then he carefully stretched his tail, slid down, and sank himself into the water.

It's like throwing yourself into the arms of the sea.

Good heartache.

The race, once known as the Lord of the Sea, has now been reduced to a bathtub mixed with edible salt as a substitute for the sea.

Qi Zhichen lay at the bottom of the water like a salted fish, his light blue eyes open, looking at the ceiling through the water waves.

The sound of water ripples echoed in his ears, and a ray of sunlight shining in from the window shone on the water, and each point of light seemed to be smeared on the retina.

The mermaid's special breathing ability allows him to survive freely underwater, even more comfortably than in the air.

Since turning into a mermaid in the morning, the heaviness that could never be ignored was swept away, and Qi Zhichen only understood a little at this moment why the mermaid was a race that belonged to the ocean.

He took a long breath, spit out a few small bubbles, and watched the bubbles float all the way to the surface of the water, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Come on! Step up your game! ,, hard! ”

A cheerful and fierce mobile phone ringtone pulled Qi Zhichen from the beautiful dream of swimming under the sea into the reality of the saltwater bathtub.

He climbed out of the tub with his upper body, touched his face, grabbed his phone and glanced at the time—half past twelve, he had slept for hours—before he got on the phone.

"Hey—"

Maybe it was because another six hours had passed in the transformation time, or it had been fully replenished with salt water, Qi Zhichen's lazy "hey" was a little more seductive than before.

Although the phone transmission will be more or less distorted, it is also frightened that the words on his lips stop abruptly.

And even if it's just one voice, it's enough to make the person on the other side of the phone hesitate: "Uh-"

There was a small muttering accompanied by a whisper of "This number is not wrong" from the earpiece, and the person on the other side said: "That-I'm looking for Qi Zhichen...... Ah, I'm his friend, college roommate......"

Qi Zhichen hesitated, covered his mouth and filtered his voice: "Shen Guangle, it's me, that's right." ”

The opposite side paused for a moment: "Qi Zhichen? ”

Qi Zhichen tried hard to adjust his voice: "It's me." “

The other side breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did you buy the voice changer?" Ready to enter the live streaming industry after graduation? “

"......" Qi Zhichen changed the topic nonsense, "It's a little cold, my voice has changed a little, is there anything wrong?" The call at noon should not be revenge for my call in the morning. “

"Heh, you also know that you called early in the morning," Shen Guangle snorted, "Didn't I just wake up, thinking of your inexplicable call in the morning, and ask you if something happened." ”

I have to say that among the four people in the dormitory, this comrade has to be the most careful.

Qi Zhichen made up a reason: "It's nothing, it's just that I ran to the toilet all night last night, thinking if I should have food poisoning, so I asked you about the situation." ”

"That's it, then why don't you pull it, drink more water," Shen Guangle on the other side seemed to be relieved, "I heard that a lot of food poisoning is dehydration, that is, vomiting and leaking, if you can't stand it, go to the hospital, but go early, don't run at night, I heard that our area has not been very safe recently......"

Qi Zhichen listened to Shen Guangle's chatter while counting the scales on his tail, and when he counted to the three hundred and twenty-seventh pieces, he finally ended this rather long conversation.

It is worthy of Shen Guangle, who has won the title of male mother in A University for four consecutive years, and he is terrifying.

Qi Zhichen threw his phone aside and happily began to play with the water.

Just counting the scales, the memory of the mermaid's ability was clearer in his mind, including the use of the mermaid's second greatest ability, water control.

As soon as his mind moved, the water in the bathtub slowly floated in the air like a lump of blue jelly from duangduang, wrapped around his long fishtail.

A few small water droplets were suspended in front of Qi Zhichen's manipulation, sometimes gathering into a large water droplet, sometimes condensing into a water rope, the water seemed to have become an organ outside his body, and it was very easy to use.

Qi, three-year-old, Zhichen had a lot of fun playing in the water.

In his memory, the mermaid's manipulation of water was mostly on some extremely lethal moves, but Qi Zhichen was more satisfied at the moment that he could indirectly control his activities by controlling water.

The water floated into the air with a snow-white fish tail, Qi Zhichen slowly floated out of the bathroom, and leisurely conjured a luxurious cushion to lean on it.

This scene is really a bit weird, even the cat uncle who patrols the territory on the top of the wardrobe has exploded.

"How did you do it so cowardly and boldly?" Qi Zhichen looked helplessly at the cat uncle who was blown into a ball, hooked his fingers, and a cloud of water floated out holding a cat can.

With a click, the water flowed open the can, and the tribute was given to Uncle Cat.

Seeing that Uncle Cat was helpless in front of the can, Qi Zhichen also felt a trace of hunger just right - he opened the refrigerator and faced the only frozen fish and a few prawns in it.

It's still a specialty sent by my roommate's hometown a few days ago.

Seafood, shouldn't be a big problem.

With the reputation of mermaids in the sea, the recipe basically includes all other sea creatures, and when there is nothing to do, seagrass with hand-torn crabs, and occasionally go to the shore to collect some fruit and change the recipe.

Thinking like this, Qi Zhichen leisurely ate a seafood feast, and after filling his stomach, he floated leisurely in the center of the living room.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, and although it was unlikely that anyone would peep, it was better to hide it with his current appearance.

He made a water-made lazy sofa that looked very good under him with a stream of water, and lay in it with a big tail, slowly sorting out some knowledge in his mind that slowly became clear with the passage of time.

If he hadn't miscalculated, he would have changed around midnight that day.

From midnight to six o'clock he slept like a dried salted fish, and after six o'clock he somehow woke up with a stirring spirit, and at that time he only had some simple common sense about mermaids in his mind.

However, as time passed, the knowledge about this race in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more proficient in the use of some special abilities.

It's funny.

Probably because of his natural dullness, or because he is a little lacking in interest in various things, in the face of such a sudden event, in addition to being a little dazed and puzzled at the beginning, the most feeling in his heart at present is ...... Curious.

It was like throwing a stone into the calm, waveless water, splashing in circles of ripples, each of which brought him unexpected pleasure.

There's still a lot of time today, so why don't you give it a try...... Legendary mermaid tears?

Mermaid tears are not uncommon in various modern myths and legends, and there are many overlaps with the knowledge that Qi Zhichen gained from racial memory.

For example, mermaid tears can indeed be turned into pearls, and they can also drop small pearls of different colors depending on the mood.

In addition to being good-looking, small pearls also have powerful healing powers, and the emphasis of different colors is different, but there is no clear division.

After all, the emotions of humans, mermaids, are also very complex, who can guarantee that they can cry out with all their hearts and sorrows without a trace of other emotions?

Qi Zhichen wandered to the kitchen, took out a crisper box from the cabinet, and prepared to use it to catch his tears.

During this period, he accidentally touched Uncle Cat's snack bag, and the short and unrecognizable sound was accurately captured by Uncle Cat, and fell from the sky - jumping onto Qi Zhichen's long tail, and slipped down.

The sound of the cat's paws rubbing against the fish's tail made Qi Zhichen's teeth sour.

"Meow—"

Uncle Cat quickly flicked his tail and looked around the scene of the crime.

After not finding the target snack bag, it kicked Qi Zhichen's tail without a trace, jumped on the refrigerator with a vigorous posture, and disappeared from sight along the eaves of the eaves for a while.

Qi Zhichen: "......"

Qi Zhichen glanced at his fish upgraded cat scratcher tail, the little kitten's claws, of course, could not leave any traces on the big tail of the overlord in the sea.

He asked the same question again, how could cats accurately distinguish the sound of snack bags, cat food bags, and the sound of him opening the cat bag among the many sounds?

I thought it was an eternal mystery, but now maybe, what if he becomes a human-cat next time - uh a cat-man?

When the time comes...... should be able to understand what Uncle Cat is scolding every day.

Qi Zhichen was moved, and at the same time, he gathered a small ball of water to wash the fresh-keeping box that had not been used for a long time, and then sat on his lazy water sofa, lowered his head at the fresh-keeping box, and cried seriously.

It seems like.

Can't cry.

He was silent for a moment, then took a slow, deep breath and began to search his mind for the sad past.

When I was in elementary school, I was cooking dinner alone and wanted to eat fish, but I couldn't make it, but I watched the little fish swim around in the pot and ended up hungry all night - no, I kind of wanted to laugh.

When I was in junior high school, I was riding a bicycle and getting headlong into a ditch, and when I climbed up, my summer homework was washed into the sewer by a fish—no, I still wanted to laugh.

When I was in high school, Lu Li's bastard said yes...... As a result, after so many years of saying goodbye, there was no contact at all - heh, angry, very angry.

Completely useless!

Qi Zhichen sighed expressionlessly.

Although he is more active inside, it is very difficult to expose his emotions, and to outsiders he looks like a delicate statue that occasionally moves his eyebrows and blinks his eyes, but in fact he just doesn't want to express it.

If you really want to cry -

Qi Zhichen was silent for a moment.

Then he silently looked at the ...... in the refrigerator that had not yet broken Onions.
