    Chapter Ninety: Merman Comes Ashore

    Chris saw he wasn’t answering and thought she had said something wrong. She hesitated and asked, “But he’s not a cunning human, right? He’s different from other humans, he’s a good human, and he saved us!”

    Yan Ye almost laughed. He didn’t know how Chris came to the conclusion that Song Qiuyi had saved her.

    Chris saw he still hadn’t answered, shook her head, and said, “He didn’t use those fishing nets to entangle you. You can tell he’s a good human at a glance.”

    Yan Ye looked at this silly merman in front of him. He really couldn’t bear to tell the truth, fearing it would scare her into the sea.

    The last time Song Qiuyi caught the merman was at night, and Chris hadn’t fully come ashore, so she hadn’t seen Song Qiuyi’s face. She still didn’t know the human who caught her was Song Qiuyi. If she knew, she probably would have jumped into the sea long ago.

    “You can’t tell good people from bad people just by looking, understand, Chris?” Yan Ye said speechlessly, not wanting to tell her what Song Qiuyi had done before. Instead, he started asking about her plans. “Aren’t you looking for someone? Haven’t found them yet?”

    Chris said with a worried face, “No, I’ve searched many sea areas, but I haven’t found them.”

    After speaking, her voice paused for a moment. “Did I tell you I was looking for someone?”

    Naturally, she hadn’t. Yan Ye said calmly, “You said it last time when we separated. Did you forget?”

    Chris thought for a moment, raised a hand, and patted her head. “Maybe I forgot.”

    Ah, how could she have forgotten? There was no impression at all in her mind.

    Yan Ye looked at the thinking merman, summoned the Book of Reincarnation. The female lead and Werewolf Male Supporting Character in this world were absolutely impossible. The female lead was not deceived by the male supporting character to come ashore, and the plot had changed. So, other content should appear in the Book of Reincarnation.

    A golden light flashed in front of Yan Ye, and a section of text appeared.

    The merman Kevin was the child of a human and a merman, with impure blood. Twenty years ago, to save Chris, who was accidentally entangled in a fishing net and washed ashore by the sea, he exchanged his powerful willpower for a pair of legs, becoming a human with a strange illness ever since.

    He lived on an island in the South Sea, and because he had fish scales growing on both sides of his cheeks and arms, people on the island called him a freak.

    The male lead became human? Yan Ye rubbed his forehead. Well, that was something he hadn’t expected.

    Although Yan Ye knew from the Book of Reincarnation that the male lead Kevin was the female lead’s savior, he hadn’t expected Kevin would become human and thus unable to return to his own sea area.

    Song Qiuyi returned. He first gave the fish he was going to eat to Yan Ye, then threw two to Chris.

    Chris took the fish and said gratefully, “You are truly a good human.”

    Not only did this human save her, but he also gave her food. He was so good, just like the person who saved her twenty years ago and didn’t leave his name.

    It was a pity she didn’t have anything now, otherwise, she would definitely repay him well!

    Chris didn’t know that the treasures she had previously used to repay Yan Ye had all been given to Song Qiuyi.

    Song Qiuyi snorted silently. He threw the fish to her only because this merman said she was Yan Ye’s friend. Otherwise, if Yan Ye saw her not having anything to eat later, he would definitely give her his own food. Just thinking about it made Song Qiuyi feel uncomfortable.

    “Chris, where have you been looking for people all this time?” Yan Ye decided to help her.

    Chris put down the half-eaten fish in her hand and told Yan Ye all the sea areas she had been to. She had been to all the sea areas in the East Sea. Now, only the North Sea hadn’t been fully searched.

    This merman is looking for someone? Song Qiuyi’s ears twitched slightly.

    Yan Ye, “Professor Song, how about we go to the South Sea?”

    The topic suddenly changed too quickly, and Song Qiuyi couldn’t react. He was stunned for a moment. “Why? Why suddenly go to the South Sea?”

    Yan Ye naturally couldn’t tell him directly that it was to help Chris find someone. He had Song Qiuyi lean his ear closer, and lowered his voice to explain, “The Gadalia sea area and the South Sea are in opposite directions. We don’t have to worry about encountering people trying to catch us if we go to the South Sea.”

    If the research institute wanted to catch them back, they would definitely go ask Duke and Tony which sea area they caught the merman in initially, and they would definitely go to the Gadalia sea area again.

    Understanding the meaning behind Yan Ye’s words, Song Qiuyi’s eyelashes fluttered twice. “Okay, let’s go to the South Sea then.”

    The South Sea, a place Chris hadn’t searched yet. Yan Ye’s gaze turned to Chris and he smiled and invited her, “Haven’t you searched the South Sea for someone yet? Do you want to come with us to search there first?”

    As Yan Ye asked this question, Song Qiuyi’s expression instantly changed. “…”? He thought it was just the two of them going.

    Chris thought seriously for a while. “Okay, if you are willing to let me follow, then I will go to the South Sea to search first.”

    Song Qiuyi wanted to say he wasn’t willing, but Yan Ye called him over. “Chris wants to find the person who saved her twenty years ago. Let’s help her out. It hasn’t been easy for her searching for twenty years.”

    Chris nodded vigorously. “Mhm mhm, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve been looking for him for twenty years.”

    A vein pulsed slightly on Song Qiuyi’s forehead, his expression becoming increasingly cold. “I understand.”

    After speaking, he left without lingering.

    Yan Ye saw him leave and jumped out of the water tank. “I’m going to find him. You stay here for now.”

    Under Chris’s stunned gaze at a merman walking with its tail, Yan Ye also disappeared from the room.

    Yan Ye found Song Qiuyi sulking alone in the laboratory. A fish with a human face became his target for venting, being dissected into sashimi.

    Yan Ye secretly guessed that he was probably fantasizing this human-faced fish was Chris and dissecting it. He walked over and stood behind him, extending his arm to Song Qiuyi. He made a fist with his palm, then slowly opened it. A snow-white, crystal-clear, plump pearl appeared in his palm.

    This is a pearl, Song Qiuyi recognized at a glance. A ripple appeared in his cold eyes. He remembered a sentence from the merman books before, “Mermaids weep tears into pearls.”

    So, is this Yan Ye’s tear?

    Song Qiuyi turned his head in disbelief.

    “How about it? Do you like it? If you like it, I’ll give it to you!” Yan Ye said with a smile to coax him.

    Song Qiuyi asked tremblingly, “A merman’s tear?”

    Yan Ye softly hummed.

    Song Qiuyi extended a finger and poked the pearl. “Is it yours?”

    Yan Ye, “Mhm, who else’s could it be? Chris’s?”

    It’s not Chris’s tear, it’s Yan Ye’s! Only this sentence remained in Song Qiuyi’s mind. He pursed his lips, retracted his finger, and slowly placed it over his heart. He only felt his heart beating very fast, and his mood suddenly became very good. The corners of his pursed lips slightly curved upwards.

    He didn’t immediately take the pearl, but asked, “Are you really going to give this to me?”

    He still remembered, this merman had said before that merman tears that turn into pearls are only given to their partners.

    Is the merman treating himself as a partner? Song Qiuyi lowered his head in thought, his finger rubbing the pearl Yan Ye had placed in his palm.
