Chapter 4: The Misty Fishing Village

The sun was scorching hot, but as it began to set, the sky gradually darkened. Yu Chen had left, he didn't know where he had gone. The yard door was locked. Mu Miao sat on the bank, using his tail to tease the small carp in the pond.

At that moment, he heard a rustling sound from the wall. A furry little head poked out, catching sight of Mu Miao in the yard, his eyes widening in surprise.

Mu Miao was also surprised.

How did a human cub appear here?

Yu Kai looked around the yard, didn't see Yu Chen, and called out to Mu Miao, "Hey, merman, is Uncle Yu Chen not home?"

He didn't expect Mu Miao to answer him, but he half-heartedly entered the yard and nimbly climbed over the fence.

Mu Miao answered him, "Yu Chen went out just now, he's not home right now. If you have something to find him for, you have to come back later."

Yu Kai expressed his amazement, his young face full of excitement. He hopped and skipped to Mu Miao's side, "Wow! You can speak human language!"

Mu Miao tilted his head. Wasn't it normal for him to speak?

Merfolk vocal cords were more advanced than human ones, able to produce many sound frequencies that humans couldn't. Human language was simple for merfolk.

Yu Kai, undeterred, approached Mu Miao, looking at his tail soaking in the pond, he couldn't help but want to touch it a few times.

He looked at Mu Miao in amazement, chattering away, "Can you really live under the sea? Then how do you breathe? Don't you drown?"

"You're so pretty. Green eyes, did you wear colored contacts? I heard that city people who love to be beautiful wear these."

"Why are you with Uncle Yu Chen? Are you his fish? Uncle Yu Chen seems to have a habit of raising fish. He raises fish too. Look, the fish in this pond are all raised by him. They're plump and fat."

"..."

The little boy's thoughts were all over the place. Mu Miao listened to his various strange questions and answered him patiently and slowly, "…I'm a fish. Fish don't drown in water. Yu Chen raised me because I can help him catch other fish. I'm a fish that can catch fish..."

Yu Kai: "...Huh?"

He was confused by Mu Miao's words.

Mu Miao, a single fish, was extremely bored. Yu Kai coming over at this time was just right to keep him company. Therefore, no matter how absurd the question Yu Kai asked, Mu Miao would answer him seriously.

As for the danger, Mu Miao glanced at Yu Kai, whose height was shorter than his tail, and thought mischievously, he could probably whip this human cub for a long time with one tail.

Yu Kai didn't know that he was classified as a low-risk human by Mu Miao. He was very interested in chatting with Mu Miao.

His parents were both gone, and his grandparents were busy with their livelihood on weekdays. They had no time to take care of him, so he often played around with other children. But after his friends were picked up by their parents, Yu Kai was alone again.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Kai knew it was time to go home. He reluctantly leaned against Mu Miao's arm, "Can I come to see you again tomorrow? Can you tell Uncle Yu Chen for me, and ask him not to chase me away, okay?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind, "What do you want to tell me?"

Mu Miao turned around, saw the man, and immediately curved his brows, "Yu Chen, you're back."

His smile was pure and clean, his eyes full of joy at the return of the person who had been out. It was like a wife waiting at home for her husband, her whole heart set on him.

Yu Chen's eyes darkened, ignoring Yu Kai's ghostly expression, he walked straight to Mu Miao's side, bent down, picked him up, and sat down on the stone chair.

Out of the water, Mu Miao's blue tail was fully visible. Yu Kai whispered in awe, "Wow!"

Mu Miao was used to being held, and he naturally nestled in Yu Chen's arms, reaching out to grab the teacup on the table.

Yu Chen took it for him and put it in his hand. Mu Miao took the teacup and took small sips. He loved the light fragrance of the tea leaves.

Yu Chen gently lifted his eyelids, looked at Yu Kai, "Does your grandpa know you came here without permission?"

Yu Kai was much more nervous in front of Yu Chen, his two hands nervously twisting, "He doesn't know. Grandpa went to find a place for the outsiders to stay. Grandma is taking a nap at home. I... I just wanted to come and see Brother Mu Miao."

"I've never seen a merman before."

Yu Chen's gaze swept over Mu Miao and Yu Kai, his tone neither hot nor cold, "You even know his name. It seems like you two got along very well this afternoon."

Mu Miao didn't notice the hidden emotions in his words. He thought it was a normal joke. He proudly lifted his chin, "Yeah! I'm very popular with kids."

Yu Chen glanced at Yu Kai and then returned his gaze to Mu Miao. He casually put his hand on his abdomen, "Is that so? It seems like you have a lot of luck with children."
