This is a slow update because I promised my readers to update Dragon: New Dad's Daily Life first. Yup, I am the one translating this, I'm a translator, not the author.

C1: Tears of a Mermaid

The year 2012 

Located in a relatively secluded flea market in S city, three young men slowly walked in at around 6 PM. 

At this moment, it was a hot summer day. The weather at this time was still not too hot and stuffy, but the flea market was much busier than before. 

Many old people who liked to stroll outside after retiring, or some people who liked to buy and sell goods came out one after another.

The three youngsters walked around for a bit but didn't find anything they wanted to buy. They just came over to take a look out of curiosity. Although the flea market here was quiet, it was quite famous within a hundred-mile radius. The things found here were not all valuable, but when luck came, one would find one or two rare items. 

The three of them were seniors from nearby S University, and because they had unintentionally heard about this place, they were curious about it. In addition, they happened to be passing by, so they went to take a look.

Sure enough, there were a lot of things here. Moreover, there were all sorts of strange things that they had never even seen before. All they felt was admiration.

"These are fake antiques, right? Why do they look a bit weird? What year do they come from? "

"What is that? The appearance really is strange?"

"A vase? Why does it feel more like a chamber pot? I really don't know anything about the ancients. "

"Come on, look at this. Do you think this thing in my hands is real? Say, if I buy it back..."

"Don't be silly, do you think that the real thing will be bought by you? There are so many experienced people here who have yet to take it away." 

They left.

One man took a casual look around. "Buy one when you see one you like and don't care if it is true or fake. Antiques are no longer antiques. My luck has been so bad lately that I've never had anything to do with pie falling from the sky. Otherwise, if you don't get the pie by then, you'll be smashed to death. "

"..."

Along the way, the three of them touched this and that. They weren't very serious and just came to satisfy their curiosity. By the way, this young man naturally had a sliver of luck in his heart. Maybe his luck was really good, so he bought a good item, and left with his friends after.

After about half an hour of wandering, one of the three suddenly stopped in front of a stall that sold small items.

"Wait, Qiangdi, Yiling, what do you think of this thing?" Squatting down, the young man picked up a small item from the stall and asked for his opinion.

"What is it?" Li Qiangdi was walking in front, and after hearing his best friend's words, he turned around and looked behind him.

"Qiangdi, let's go take a look as well." Feeling Li Qiangdi is not on his side, Lou Yiling also stopped and turned around. After seeing his good friend stop somewhere and not leave, he turned around and smiled at Li Qiangdi.

"Mm, let's go over." A single slap matched it. 

Since he had come here, it was originally to stroll around. It would also be good to buy some small things as souvenirs.

"Huang, what have you taken a fancy to?" After walking over, Li Qiangdi noticed the thing in Lin Huang's hands. It looked like a silver bow, except it was a little too small. It was simply an ornament, and when worn on the ear, it had a strange and mysterious charm to it.
