Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

He Shizhou stood by the fish tank, watching the little creatures floating and sinking in the water, and suddenly found it rather interesting.

As he quietly surfaced again, He Shizhou reached out and quickly patted the little guy on the head.

Her long, chestnut-colored hair was soft, but a little damp, probably from being soaked in seawater for too long; it had a fishy smell and was also a bit sticky.

Startled by being touched on the head, Luo You shrank back underwater. After a while, he didn't feel anything unusual, and he raised his hand to touch the spot where he had been touched.

He wasn't in pain or injured; He Shizhou hadn't hurt him.

Luo You grew bolder and soon poked his head out again.

He Shizhou glanced at the sky outside. He had been upstairs for a while, and it was getting dark. It was almost lunchtime.

Since he's only here temporarily, he's staying at one of his villas by the sea for a few days. There are no servants, just a temporary worker who comes to clean the house every week, so there's no food provided.

He picked up his phone to order takeout. After searching on the phone for a while, He Shizhou ordered a steak and a cream of mushroom soup for himself. Then he looked up at the little mermaid.

Are you hungry?

Luo You touched his flat little belly with both hands and nodded obediently.

"Hungry."

He had no idea how long he had been sleeping inside the seashell or how long it had been since he had eaten. Of course he was hungry now, but since He Shizhou hadn't asked, he had kept quiet about it.

"What do you want to eat?" He Shizhou continued to ask.

Luo You shook his head. He had also forgotten what he wanted to eat; he was just hungry.

He Shizhou glanced at the little mermaid's bewildered gaze and didn't ask any more questions. After searching for a while, he ordered a large portion of sashimi and a serving of fresh milk for him at the store.

Mermaids should eat raw food, and judging from the small size of the little mermaid, this should be enough.

After ordering takeout, the two of them, one in the fish tank and the other on the sofa, were bored and had nothing to do.

After a while, He Shizhou remembered and took the initiative to speak again.

"I'll run the water for you, can you take a bath in the tub yourself?"

The fish tank was filled with seawater, which had a fishy smell, and the little mermaids soaking in it had an even stronger fishy smell.

Luo You didn't know what "taking a bath" meant, but he wouldn't refuse what He Shizhou said, so he nodded again.

He Shizhou got up, went to the bathroom on the first floor and filled a bathtub with warm water for him, then came out and went to the fish tank.

"I'll carry you over." He Shizhou reached out his hand.

Luo You observed him underwater for a while, then slowly surfaced, reached out his arms, and gave him a hug.

He Shizhou pulled him out of the water, carried him horizontally, and placed him in the bathtub.

"I'm going out. You wash yourself clean. The shower gel and shampoo are here. Wash your hair too, and call me when you're done."

Luo You nodded obediently, remembering which one was for washing hair and which one was for washing the body.

He Shizhou put himself inside and then left.

Luo You lay in the bathtub with some curiosity. The water around him was still warm, and soaking in it was extremely comfortable. Luo You couldn't help but take a big gulp.

"Mmm, delicious." Without the salty taste of seawater, Luo You happily squinted her eyes and splashed around in the water with her pale blue tail.

He Shizhou waited outside for a while when there was a knock on the door. He opened it and took the delivery.

Just as the delivery guy was about to leave, He Shizhou called him back.

He Shizhou took out a few bills from his wallet: "Could you please change the water in the fish tank in the house?"

Upon seeing the money, the delivery driver immediately nodded in agreement. He Shizhou pointed him to another washroom, took a bucket, and watched as the delivery driver changed the water repeatedly.

Before the water was even changed, a loud cry came from the room.

"Waaah~, He Shizhou, save...save Youyou." Then came a series of violent slapping sounds.

The cries were so heart-wrenching that the deliveryman trembled and stared wide-eyed at He Shizhou.

He Shizhou felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't know how to explain, so he could only walk quickly towards the bathroom.

Pushing open the door, the little one was curled up in a ball, shivering in the corner, his eyes red from crying, with a few milky white pearls lying beside him, looking extremely pitiful.

"What's wrong?"

He Shizhou leaned closer, and the little guy suddenly jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly while pointing at the bathtub with trembling fingers.

"Waaah~, the water... is gone, and Yu-Yu is going to be gone too."

The little body in his arms was trembling with sobs. He Shizhou supported him and leaned over to take a look.

The little guy somehow managed to open the plug in the bathtub, causing the water to swirl and flow away. He was probably startled, because he jumped out of the bathtub.

"It's okay, they're just releasing water, Youyou won't die."

"Waaah, I'm not washing anymore, I'm going to suck Youyou's tail." Luo You raised her tail for He Shizhou to see.

He was taking a shower when he felt his tail get sucked in. After he pulled it out, all the water was gone, and it was swirling and getting less and less.

He Shizhou looked at his tail; there wasn't a single mark or injury. It must have been sucked in when the bathtub was filled with water.
