After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

In the living room, Lu Tingchen played with Xiao Ranran. Although it was childish, he enjoyed it.

"So crispy~"

Her pronunciation isn't perfect, but Xiao Ranran has improved a lot over the years and has learned quite a few words.

"Hey, why are you calling my second uncle?"

Lu Tingchen gently pinched Xiao Ranran's soft little face, his expression full of tenderness.

The more time he spent with Xiao Ranran, the more he liked the little one.

Because they are just too well-behaved.

And she's so well-behaved and cute, I wonder what she's made of.

The baby's voice is also soft and sweet.

Little Ranran picked up the dinosaur and flew towards him, "Whoosh~"

Lu Tingchen pretended to be hit and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

"Ouch, you hit Uncle! That hurts!"

Xiao Ranran laughed heartily, and his laughter filled the entire living room.

But after a while, Lu Tingchen still hadn't sat up. Xiao Ranran thought he had really been hit, so she anxiously crawled over there.

"Crispy and crumbly".

Raise your little hand to pat his tummy and arm, and gently call out, "Susu."

Seeing that Lu Tingchen wouldn't agree, Xiao Ranran got anxious, sat down next to him, and looked up to find Mu Chen.

"Pot, pot."

"Pot, pot."

The child's voice had a nasal quality, and Lu Tingchen knew he had gone too far.

He quickly got up and picked up the little one.

"Ah, we've caught the little one!"

Xiao Ranran was startled, but when she saw Lu Tingchen sit up, she smiled happily.

But she still reached out and touched Lu Tingchen's chest with concern.

Lu Tingchen saw the little guy's red eyes and gently raised his hand to touch his face.

If I had gotten up any later, I probably would have cried.

I can't tease him like that next time.

Little Ranran nestled gently against Lu Tingchen's chest, patting his arm with her little hand, "Soo-soo~"

Feeling the warmth of the little guy, Lu Tingchen's heart melted. He reached out and hugged him tightly, rubbing his little head.

A healing little rascal.

Suddenly, Xiao Ranran frowned, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

He grabbed Lu Tingchen's clothes and shook him, then closed his eyes, breathing rapidly, and collapsed into his arms.

Lu Tingchen noticed immediately, laid him flat on the carpet, and looked anxious.

"baby."

"Little Ranran."

Furthermore, blue patterns began to appear on Xiao Ranran's face and body, and fish scales appeared on her legs.

Lu Tingchen was at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

Mu Chen heard Lu Tingchen's voice, ran out of the kitchen, and her pupils contracted.

He ran over and picked up Xiao Ranran.

The baby hasn't been in water since yesterday; it's dried out.

It takes time to fill the room with water, but there's a ready-made one outside.

Mu Chen carried Xiao Ranran and ran towards the swimming pool.

Lu Tingchen didn't know what had happened, but when he saw Mu Chen run out, he quickly followed.

Just as they caught up, they saw Mu Chen throw Xiao Ranran into the water!

"Mu Chen, what are you doing!"

Lu Tingchen rushed forward but couldn't stop him, and jumped into the water without thinking.

He watched the little creature slowly sink to the bottom of the water, and a feeling of immense panic welled up inside him.

She rushed over and hugged him.

But then, Xiao Ranran opened her eyes and blew a bubble.

Before he could even feel happy, he saw that Xiao Ranran's black eyes had turned blue, her hair had changed from short black hair to long blue hair, and her legs had turned into beautiful blue fishtails.

Little Ranran swam playfully in the water, even grabbing Lu Tingchen's arm and pulling him to the surface.

"So crispy~"

The familiar soft, childlike voice echoed in his ears, but Lu Tingchen was utterly shocked.

Why is his brother's child a mermaid?

Is his sister-in-law a mermaid?

The mermaid wife ran away with her baby?

Lu Tingchen considered all the possibilities, but was finally pulled back to his senses by a handful of water.

Xiao Ranran raised her hand to splash water at Lu Tingchen, but Lu Tingchen ignored her.

Her little mouth pursed in disappointment, and she looked a little unhappy.

Does it mean you don't like Ranran?

Because Ranran is a fish, she's different from them.

Sensitive emotions welled up again, and her eyes were visibly red, as if tears were about to fall.

"Little one, come here." Mu Chen waved to Xiao Ranran from the shore.

Little Ranran swam over, her eyes red-rimmed, "Brother, does Uncle not like Ranran anymore? Because Ranran is different from him."

Mu Chen jumped into the water; he was coral, and wouldn't change much.

He held Xiao Ranran in his arms and gently comforted her, "No, Uncle just didn't realize it yet."

Indeed, Lu Tingchen didn't react at all.

When he came to his senses, he saw the two of them talking in a gibberish, and he couldn't understand a single word.

He swam over, his clothes completely soaked and clinging to his body, his hair wet as well.

She smoothed her hair back, revealing her smooth forehead.

"Little Ranran."

Upon hearing his voice, Xiao Ranran leaned on Mu Chen's shoulder and ignored him.

After a while, it flipped itself into the water and swam away, hiding in a corner and refusing to come out.

Lu Tingchen was at a loss.

Mu Chen explained, "Zai Zai is different from you; he thinks you don't like him."

"I didn't intend to hide this from you, but since Uncle Lu didn't say anything, I couldn't say anything either."

"Does Uncle Lu not like the little one?"

"Of course not," Lu Tingchen retorted instinctively.

He just didn't realize it.

"If not, Uncle Lu should go and talk to Zai Zai. Zai Zai is sensitive and was bullied by humans before."

"Fortunately, Uncle Lu took care of them, otherwise I would have taught them a lesson too."

Bullying the little prince he was protecting is like treating Mu Chen as if he doesn't exist.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Mu Chen's eyes.

Lu Tingchen now regrets not being more ruthless back then.

"Uncle Lu, go find Zai Zai. I'll go get the toys and play with Zai Zai in a bit."

"it is good."

After Mu Chen got ashore, Lu Tingchen swam towards Xiao Ranran.

Seeing Xiao Ranran huddled at the bottom of the water, Lu Tingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He dived down, reached out to Xiao Ranran, and hugged him as he surfaced.

He wiped the water from his face, looked at the little mermaid in his arms, and whispered, "Ranran, my little darling, are you ignoring your second uncle?"

The little mermaid baby didn't look up; it was focused on poking its fingers.

Lu Tingchen held his small hand and squeezed it gently, explaining, "Second Uncle was too surprised just now and didn't react in time."

"My second uncle was very surprised and liked Ranran very much when he saw this other side of her for the first time. He didn't dislike her at all; he was just surprised."

"Ranran is such a well-behaved little darling, how could Second Uncle not like her?"

Lu Tingchen kissed the little mermaid's forehead and stroked his blue hair. "Ranran is so cute."

"He's really my second uncle's precious little darling."

With Lu Tingchen's gentle coaxing, he finally managed to get the little mermaid to pay attention to him.

"So crispy~"

"Hmm? Second Uncle is here with Ranran, my little darling."

Xiao Ranran leaned over, touched Lu Tingchen's forehead, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Looking at his bright smile, Lu Tingchen smiled too.

The baby mermaid is so cute!

"Good girl."
