Thinking back, in fact, there were cats in fairy tales, but they were often black cats that sat on the shoulders of evil witches. They were very scary, and from time to time, they showed their sharp fangs to scare the protagonist of the fairy tale.
Fina's manner and tone of voice were both provocative and tempting. Occasionally, it would show its small canine teeth, which was somewhat similar to the evil black cat in the fairy tale.
It put a seemingly impossible deal in front of Sihwa — to exchange her fishtail for a human's identity.
However, this deal was not completely impossible. It had a certain degree of maneuverability.
If Sihwa really appeared in front of people with the image of a disabled person who had lost both legs, no one would think that she was once a mermaid. With her amazing beauty, she could win people's sympathy to the greatest extent. Although it was difficult to get an ID, it was not completely impossible. There were many things in this world that money could not buy, but an ID was not one of them.
If one did not consider who would perform the surgery and how Sihwa would survive the surgery, Fina's proposal was not as casual as Zhang Zian had imagined it to be.
"Cough! The body, hair, and skin were given to us by our parents. We dare not harm them … "Old Time Tea said from outside the bathroom, but it was not very confident. It probably wanted to persuade Sihwa not to have this terrible idea, but it suddenly remembered that Sihwa did not have parents at all. Even if she harmed her body, it would not be unfair to anyone.
It seemed that Fina's fierce reprimand had alarmed the elfins on the first floor.
Sihwa's face was as white as paper. "Fi … Fina, you mean … you want me to cut off all my tails?"
"Yes, don't you dislike your own tail? You want an ID and a human's identity? Cutting off the tail is the simplest and only feasible choice … "Fina's eyes moved from her tail and finally stopped at her A4 waist.
Sihwa's waist was no different from a human's. Light blue scales appeared from her waist. The scales were very fine at first, but they became wider as they moved toward the tail.
If she wanted to carry out this terrible idea, she would have to split Sihwa in half from her waist …
The bloody scene appeared in the minds of Zhang Zian and the other elfins, including Sihwa herself.
She shuddered and could not help but feel creeped out.
This was not a fairy tale. She could not get legs, and she would never get them, but she could use another cruel way to obtain a human's identity.
But is it worth it?
Zhang Zian wanted to say that it wasn't worth it, but when he looked at the small bathroom, he swallowed his words.
If a prisoner was confined to a room of less than ten square meters for the rest of his life and could not step out of it, but if he was willing to give up half of his body, he could be freed from his status as a prisoner. Even if he was disabled, he could still leave the room. Who could say that the prisoner would not choose the latter?
Fei Na turned around and walked away slowly, leaving behind a sentence: "Think about it yourself."
With Fina's departure, the other elfins seemed to have retreated downstairs so that Sihwa could think for herself.
"I'm going out too," Zhang Zian said and closed the bathroom door.
He didn't go downstairs for the time being. Instead, he leaned against the door and pondered. Giving up a fishtail in exchange for a human's identity somehow felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
When it came to reading, no one could beat Pi.
Zhang Zian walked to the desk and saw that Pi was not typing, but was holding the nameless book and reading.
"Pi, I want to ask you something." He pulled a chair and sat down.
"Zhi zhi?" Pi scratched its head and pointed to the bathroom. Did it mean something related to Sihwa?
Zhang Zian shook his head. "Yes and no. Actually, I want to ask you. You stay in the living room all day and almost never go out. Don't you feel lonely? "
"Zhi zhi."
Pi grinned and typed: Sometimes I feel lonely, and sometimes I want to go out and have a look.
"But?" Zhang Zian asked again.
Pi patted its nameless book and typed: The world is in my book. There is no difference between seeing it with my own eyes and reading it in the book.
It pointed to the lively book group and typed: And there are so many book friends with me, so I won't feel lonely.
Zhang Zian believed what Pi said was true, but its situation did not apply to Sihwa, because its level was too high. The book had its own golden house, and the book had its own beauty. All of its curiosity could be satisfied through the nameless book, so there was no need to go out of the room.
"Okay, Pi, continue with your work, but pay attention to rest." Zhang Zian stood up and patted its shoulder. "I'm going downstairs first."
"Zhi zhi."
Zhang Zian went downstairs and saw that everything was normal. The elfins were doing what they usually did — sleeping, watching TV, playing …
But because it was too normal, it seemed abnormal and deliberate, as if no one wanted to mention what had just happened.
There were two or three fans pestering Famous to take photos with them, but there were no real customers at the moment.
Wang Qian had not returned from next door, and Lu Yiyun was lowering her head to draw.
"Xiao Yun." Zhang Zian walked to the cashier and knocked on the table with his knuckles.
"What?"
Lu Yiyun looked up blankly. Behind the thick glasses was a pair of innocent eyes.
"Is it convenient now? I want to ask you something. "
Zhang Zian thought about his words. He couldn't talk to a young girl as casually as he did to an elfin, especially about what he was going to tell her. It would be bad if he hurt her self-esteem.
His attitude and tone surprised her, and she panicked for a moment. She thought that he had finally found out about her serial gay pet shop on Weibo and wanted to fire her …
"What … what is it?" she asked nervously.
"As far as I know, you've always been an otaku, right? Of course, I'm not being derogatory, because I'm also an otaku. I'm too bored to go out and socialize, "Zhang Zian explained. Zhang Zian explained, "I just wanted to ask, don't you feel lonely between your rental house and the pet shop? Don't you want to go out for a walk? "
Lu Yiyun pushed her glasses up. In her impression, Zhang Zian was not someone who would discuss such things with her.
She thought for a moment. "I won't be lonely. The shop is very lively, there are so many pets, and there are so many customers. I won't be lonely at home, because I have Jasmine with me."
As she spoke, she scratched Jasmine's chin. It lay lazily on her legs with its back facing the sky, not caring that its private parts were exposed …
"As for going out for a walk … well, sometimes I think about it, but it's just a thought. I also want to go to interesting places, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's necessary. The so-called tourist attractions are nothing more than the arrangement of people, trees, houses, mountains, and water. It's easier to follow Snowy to watch the live broadcast … Of course, the most important thing is that I don't have money! It's not easy to support myself and Jasmine. "She said a lot in one breath and smiled shyly.
She was young, but her words had a kind of vicissitude beyond her age.
In fact, everyone knew that tourist attractions were just like that, especially some cultural attractions. If you wanted to see them, you could see them in photos and videos, but you still couldn't avoid going to the attractions on holidays to experience the feeling of being cooked dumplings.
"Then … if I give you a lot of money, but you have to stay at home forever, never go out, and buy everything you want online, would you agree?" Zhang Zian asked in a different way.
He thought she might say yes, although she might say yes on impulse, but he didn't expect her to shake her head without thinking.
"I don't agree, absolutely not!"
Her tone was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Why? I don't mean anything else, but wasn't your previous lifestyle similar to this? " Zhang Zian was surprised, and deliberately asked teasingly, "Or … because you think you might not be able to find a boyfriend like this?"
She suddenly blushed and stammered, "Boy … boy … boyfriend? It has nothing to do with whether I have a boyfriend or not! Besides, I don't plan to have a boyfriend … "
"Okay, then why?"
Zhang Zian also laughed. Her look reminded him of some of his former female classmates. They used to confidently say that they didn't plan to have a boyfriend, but once the destined person appeared, they would completely forget what they said before and throw themselves into love without hesitation, even if it was like a moth flying into a flame.
So, it wasn't that she didn't want to have a boyfriend, but that she hadn't met the right person.
Did Sihwa think that she had met the right person, so she threw herself into love without hesitation?
Lu Yi Yun said seriously, "I can not go out, I can stay at home forever, but no one can take away my freedom to go out. Isn't there that poem? Life is precious, but the price of love is even higher. For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away. "
After saying that, she became even more embarrassed. "Is it a bit inappropriate for me to say this? Doesn't it sound very chuunibyou? It's over! It's like this every time. When people respect me a little, I get carried away … My brain may have been corroded by the second dimension … Mr. Store Manager, please forget what I just said! "
She held her head and said regretfully.
"No, don't think that way. What you said was very good!" Zhang Zian laughed. "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Continue drawing."
He left the cashier, but Lu Yi Yun could not extricate herself from the feelings of regret and self-blame.
After listening to her words, Zhang Zian seemed to think of something.
What Sihwa was pursuing, or what she should be pursuing, was perhaps not the identity of a human, nor was it the oppa that she talked about all day, but freedom. She just didn't understand it yet.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many customers, Zhang Zian took the car key, said goodbye to Lu Yi Yun, who was blushing like a cooked crab, and drove to the beach to complete his daily work – using the underwater speaker to drive away the nearby marine creatures, and looking for marine creatures on the beach that were worth picking up.
