Chapter 355 The Bride of the Sea God (14)
That aquarium is a local landmark in Shengjing. It has been built for more than 30 years and attracts countless tourists from other places to visit every year.
Last year, a local television station filmed this aquarium documentary, which tells the story of the marine life exhibited at the aquarium over the years.
At this moment, the documentary played a clip of a sea turtle swimming in an aquarium, and Nolan watched it intently.
Yan Zhen stared at his exquisitely profile for a while until the doorbell rang outside.
Startled, Nolan instinctively turned his head and looked at Yan Zhen with his eyes, asking what was that noise.
"Someone brought clothes." Yan Zhen got up and opened the door, quickly carrying in more than a dozen paper bags.
"Come on, try it on and see if it fits."
Yan Zhen unfolded the clothes and handed them to Nolan.
Nolan looked at the clothes, then at Yan Zhen's pajamas, and followed suit, first taking off his bathrobe and then putting on the new clothes.
The clothes were a loose fit, and the size was fine, but Nolan was clearly not used to having an extra layer of "skin." After taking a few steps, he fell to the ground with a "thud."
Yan Zhen: "..."
She suppressed a laugh as she helped Nolan up, comforting him, "Don't rush, take your time."
Nolan tried walking back and forth a few more times. The clothes he was wearing seemed to put a shackle on him. He would either trip over his own feet or slip and fall on flat ground.
After falling several times, he gradually became impatient.
When Yan Zhen returned from washing up in the bathroom, Nolan had stripped naked and was sitting on the carpet with his penis exposed, fiddling with a toy Rubik's Cube.
Yan Zhen's eye twitched.
If Nolan in his previous life was like this, then it really is... difficult for this young girl, Si Xia.
"Nolan, put your clothes on," Yan Zhen said.
Nolan looked up and stared directly into her eyes: "No!"
"Wear clothes, because as human beings we have to wear clothes."
Upon hearing this, Nolan threw the Rubik's Cube on the ground, got up, and climbed into the large fish tank, demonstrating his determination not to wear clothes—since humans wear clothes, he might as well be a fish.
Yan Zhen was both amused and exasperated, and immediately pulled him back: "Okay, okay, you can go without clothes at home, but you can't go out naked. Running around naked will get you arrested."
Nolan then stopped climbing into the fish tank.
Although Yan Zhen said this, he had other plans in mind.
She ordered a lot of Nolan's favorite sashimi, sweet shrimp, and other foods from a food delivery app, using food as bait to train Nolan to dress, put on shoes, and speak.
There are rewards for good performance.
At the same time, she began recording the time Nolan emerged from the water.
The longest recorded time that a Class B mermaid has remained out of the water after differentiation is 48 hours. After 48 hours, her skin will begin to crack and bleed, and she will also experience oxygen deficiency and lethargy.
If the above symptoms appear and alkaline seawater cannot be provided quickly to replenish the mermaid's water and salt, the mermaid will face the risk of dehydration and death.
The first time, Nolan experienced discomfort 20 hours after being taken out of the water; his skin became dry, and he immediately climbed back into the fish tank to replenish his water.
The second time was 43 hours.
The third time was 72 hours.
Yan Zhen watched as he stayed out of the water for longer and longer periods each time, and silently marveled that he truly deserved to be called an S-class mermaid, as his endurance was far superior to that of ordinary mermaids.
It took Yan Zhen a week to train Nolan at home until he could barely get used to wearing clothes and shoes and could also learn simple language communication. Then Yan Zhen started taking him out.
On his first time venturing out, Nolan was filled with curiosity about the outside world.
But this curiosity was abruptly cut short ten minutes later—he got carsick in the million-dollar luxury car.
Dizzy and pale, he clutched Yan Zhen's sleeve, sweating profusely: "Xia... I don't want to ride in the car! I don't want to ride in the car!"
Yan Zhen had no choice but to turn the car around and head back to the villa.
On their second trip, Yan Zhen bought a sidecar motorcycle with a sidecar. He chose a time after sunset when the temperature had dropped, and had Nolan sit in the sidecar, driving very slowly.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Yan Zhen also called four bodyguards to follow them in a car.
Enjoying the gentle evening breeze of the coastal city, Nolan, wearing a mask and hat and sitting in the sidecar, quickly adapted to this mode of transportation after a brief moment of bewilderment and began to look around curiously.
Their destination was a supermarket.
When they arrived at the supermarket, it was the busiest time of evening. The bustling environment made Nolan a little nervous; his eyes narrowed into vertical pupils as he warily scanned the people around him.
Seeing this, Yan Zhen got a shopping cart, ignored the puzzled and reproachful looks from others, and had Nolan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, sit in the shopping cart while he pushed him around the supermarket.
This method effectively relieved Nolan's tension. He sat in the shopping cart gesturing wildly, and whenever he saw something he wanted to eat, he would shake Yan Zhen's arm to let her get it.
The two strolled to the seafood section, where Nolan took a liking to the seashells displayed on ice.
Yan Zhen asked the supermarket staff to help him pack the food, and then went to weigh it.
She was standing in front of the weighing machine waiting to pick up her goods when she suddenly heard the weighing operator gasp.
Yan Zhen looked up and saw the weighing staff staring at her from behind in horror, their mouths agape in shock.
Yan Zhen quickly turned around and saw Nolan sitting in the shopping cart, reaching out to grab tiger prawns from the seafood section and stuffing them into his mouth.
He chewed the palm-sized tiger prawns like beans, shell and tail intact, crunching them down and swallowing them.
This scene was noticed not only by the weighing staff, but also by several customers nearby, some of whom even took out their phones to record videos.
Yan Zhen: "..."
After losing money, Yan Zhen handed over the items she had chosen to her bodyguard to pay for, and then pulled Nolan away first—she didn't dare to look up the whole time she left the supermarket.
On my way home by bicycle, the sidecar stopped at a red light intersection.
A car was also waiting at a red light nearby, with its window rolled down halfway, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
The man looked Yan Zhen and Nolan up and down. Seeing that the person sitting in the sidecar had long, flowing hair and was androgynous, he suddenly whistled at them: "Hey, little girls, what's the point of riding a motorcycle? I'll take you out for a ride in my luxury car."
As he spoke, he patted the steering wheel: "BMW, have you ever ridden in one?"
Nolan turned his head, stared at the man for three seconds, and keenly sensed the other's ill intentions. He suddenly straightened up and slapped him hard.
With a loud "bang," the glass in the man's car shattered.
Yan Zhen was focused on the red light countdown when she heard the noise and immediately turned around, witnessing the car window shatter. Her mind went blank for a moment.
As the red light countdown ended and the light turned green, she stepped on the gas, ignoring the man's terrified and angry shouts, and sped away.
Back at the villa on Changming Street, Yan Zhen, whose nerves had been on edge the whole way, was completely exhausted.
I called Si Lan and asked her to send someone to handle the traffic light intersection so that the police wouldn't come knocking on our door after checking the surveillance footage.
After finishing all that, she collapsed onto the sofa and didn't want to move anymore.
Raising mermaids is both exhausting and embarrassing.
