Shan Qili is a mermaid without a lover, so according to the mermaid's way of thinking, someone who is not a lover, not a family member, is someone who cannot be trusted.

So Li Boze was attacked by Shan Qili while on the ship.

Shan Qili is a pure-blooded mermaid, without special periods, and she has always longed for the human world, so she can understand human language, but speaking is more difficult for her.

Knowing that Li Boze meant no harm, Shan Qili apologetically sent him a large amount of seafood.

After being slapped by a fish tail, Li Boze woke up to find himself surrounded by seafood, and his feelings were complicated.

What is this all about!

Dan Qili's face was half above the water as she observed the reaction of the human she had just knocked unconscious.

Looking at the half-face emerging from the sea, Li Boze tentatively asked, "Did you give this to me?"

Shan Qili nodded.

Li Boze was shocked and relieved to see that she could understand human language. He had just thought someone had accidentally fallen into the sea and was about to throw a lifebuoy to save them when not only did the lifebuoy break, but he was also slapped... no, it was the fish tail that knocked him unconscious.

"Is it an apology to me?" Li Boze couldn't think of any other reason why the mermaid would take out her food and put it next to him. It couldn't be a special ritual before the meal, could it?

Shan Qili nodded again.

"I accept the apology. You can take these back; I don't need them." Li Boze just wanted to take a shower. He was soaked from the seawater, and with all the seafood, the air around him smelled fishy.

Seeing that he wasn't angry and didn't fight with her, Shan Qili thought he had a good temper and was also very handsome. She had an idea to ask him for help, and when she saw him about to leave, she hurriedly stopped him.

“…wait…wait…”

Li Boze heard the mermaid make a sound, and it seemed to be in a hurry.

"Is there anything else?" Li Boze had to admit that the mermaid was very beautiful, but his patience was really limited.

Shan Qili approached the ship and climbed aboard effortlessly.

When Li Boze saw the fish crawling up, he instinctively backed away.

Dan Qili is a red-tailed mermaid; her fins and tail are both red. In the sunlight, the scales on her tail reflect different lights, making her look especially dreamlike.

Shan Qili was still thinking about how to communicate with this person.

"You, me, learn, to, speak."

After thinking for a long time, Shan Qili said a few words to Li Boze. Her pronunciation wasn't quite right, but Li Boze guessed them.

"You want me to teach you to speak?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Qili nodded firmly.

"Why are you learning this?" Li Boze became wary.

Why would a mermaid who has always lived in the sea need to learn human language?

"I like humans, I want to find my aunt." Shan Qili managed to say these words with difficulty.

Li Boze was still full of questions, but he was no longer as wary.

Shan Qili imitated how human girls she had seen acted coquettishly towards boys, and began to act coquettishly towards Li Boze.

In the end, Li Boze agreed.

Shan Qili didn't want Li Boze to reveal the existence of the mermaid, so she gestured to him for a while. Seeing that he nodded, Shan Qili left satisfied.

Li Boze was a little puzzled when he saw her leave like that. Could the fish still find him after it left?

At that moment, he had no idea that Shan Qili would find him again in this way.

A week later, Li Boze was busy with work. These days, he often thought about the last smile the mermaid left him that day, and sometimes he would dream about it. Li Boze felt that something seemed wrong with him.

That day, I suddenly received a call from my secretary.

"Mr. Li, the receptionist downstairs said there's a red-haired girl who can't speak yet, and she's looking for you with your business card. Would you like to see her?"

Upon hearing that it was a red-haired girl who couldn't speak yet, Li Boze immediately thought of the mermaid he had seen that day.

But can mermaids turn into humans?

"Bring her up." Li Boze was a little curious; if not, he could just ask her to leave.

Shan Qili was taken to the office.

As soon as Li Boze saw her, he knew he hadn't guessed wrong. This girl was the mermaid from that day, only her clothes were a bit sloppy and didn't fit her well.

Li Boze frowned and transferred money to his secretary, asking her to buy her a set of clothes that fit her.

"How did you get my business card?" Li Boze asked Shan Qili when he was alone in the office.

Shan Qili tilted her head. She understood, so she took out the business card she had taken from Li Boze and pointed to Li Boze's suit pocket.

Li Boze then remembered that he had boarded the ship that day to discuss cooperation, so he put his business card in his suit pocket just in case.

Shan Qili didn't know what it was; she just saw that the person on it looked exactly like Li Boze and thought that it should represent him.

A driver saw her walking aimlessly on the road and kindly asked her where she was going, but she didn't know. It was the driver who saw her and said he knew her and brought her here. She had already decided that if that person was lying to her, she would use her fishtail to slap that person into the sea!

Li Boze looked at his business card in the girl's hand. She was wearing ill-fitting clothes, but they still couldn't hide her beauty. He felt complicated.

He felt that the girl was quite lucky to have found this place.

After his secretary bought the clothes, Li Boze, worried that she wouldn't know how to wear them, explained the situation to her and told her to go to the inner lounge of his office to change.

After changing into suitable clothes, Li Boze began to try to communicate with her.

"Will you feel uncomfortable after leaving the seawater? How long will it take before you need to go back into the sea?"

Upon hearing his question, Shan Qili first shook her head, then held up two hands to Li Boze, “...Ten, days.”

Li Boze felt much relieved when she said she wasn't feeling unwell.

"Auntie, if you have money, teach me how to speak, and I'll give you money."

Dan Qili's speech was not fluent, but she knew that asking for favors required giving something in return. Since this person didn't want food, she remembered that when she overheard men and women arguing on the shore, they would mention something very useful—money.

She originally wanted to find her aunt, but she hadn't seen her at the seaside for years, so she thought she would learn human language and come to the land to look for her.

Her longing for the human world came from her aunt.

Li Boze was pleasantly surprised to hear her say that. He had only agreed out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that this mermaid would know to pay.

"it is good."

Li Boze couldn't help but smile. Shan Qili looked at him and smiled along with him.

"What does your aunt look like? Maybe I can help you find her."

Li Boze noticed that the girl's appearance after turning into a human was similar to her appearance when she was a mermaid, and thought he could help her find her.
