After traveling back to the interstellar world, I became a mermaid

"Caicai, wake up." Someone suddenly called her in her mind.

"Who was talking just now?" Mu Cai slowly sat up from the bed and opened his mouth with a milky voice. His voice, hoarse from lack of water for a long time, echoed in the empty room.

Just after he finished asking, Mu Cai licked his dry lips.

She's had a full set of tests, but the results haven't come out yet.

She is now housed in a small room.

The room is in a soft goose yellow color, and there are some small toys sent by the female doctor. She fell asleep as soon as she was sent to this room, and now she was suddenly woken up.

Mu Cai waited for a while, but the room was still quiet.

Mu Cai:? ? ?

Did I hear it wrong?

"Caicai, I am System No. 006, I brought you here." A child's voice suddenly sounded in his head, and Mu Cai's eyes widened in fear.

She searched around the room and found no other living creatures, so she asked, "Who are you? Why didn't I see you?"

The childish voice replied lively: "I am System No. 006. In your mind, you can talk to me in your heart. Your mother asked me to take care of you." The system explained.

Mother? Mu Cai was stunned.

Ever since she could remember, this person had not existed in her memory. She had always lived in that small room in the hospital, and the most common person was the nurse sister who had been taking care of her.

The other children had their parents taking care of them, but she was the only one. The child in the next bed said that her parents abandoned her because she was seriously ill and it cost a lot of money.

Mu Cai has been treated with acupuncture and medicine since she was a child. No matter how painful the injections or the bitter medicine, she could not shed a single tear. She just sobbed softly sometimes when she couldn't help it.

But when I heard the child say such words, I couldn't stop crying and hiccupping, which frightened the nurse sister so much that she hugged her and comforted her. Her parents didn't stop picking her, they just turned into stars. Cai Cai has been watching from the sky.

Later, Mu Cai realized that when he became a star, he was no longer there and could not be seen.

Now suddenly someone said that he was called by his mother to take care of her, and Mu Cai suddenly didn't know how to react.

Seeing Mu Cai stunned, the child's voice in his mind seemed to know what Mu Cai was thinking, and said again: "Caicai, I'm sorry for not appearing by your side sooner."

Mu Cai was quiet for a long time, the child's mind was already confused by the news.

She continued: "You're a liar, I've never met you."

The child voice of the system immediately sounded, "Caicai, I didn't lie to you. Your parents also love you very much. Since they can't be with you, please ask me..."

The system was interrupted before he finished speaking.

Mu Cai pursed her lips, her eyes were already red, and tears fell easily. She hiccupped and said, "But I haven't seen them since I was born. The other children in the ward who take medicines and injections all have fathers." Mom coaxes me, but I’m the only one who doesn’t. I miss my parents so much.”

It turns out...it turns out that mom and dad didn't abandon Cai Cai.

For countless nights, Mu Cai lay beside the bed in the ward, looking for the two largest and brightest stars, imagining they were parents he had never met.

The nurse sister also tried not to mention anything about her parents to her.

But now that he heard that his parents cared about him very much and asked someone to take care of him, all of Mu Cai's grievances and longing for his parents burst out.

After all, he is a child. Even if he has not received the love and care of his parents, he still desires it desperately in his heart.

"Actually, I have been with Cai Cai, but my energy has been exhausted. I have no way to appear in front of Cai Cai. I can only give Cai Cai some toys from time to time. I'm sorry." The child's voice in my mind was full of apologies.

No wonder you can sometimes find novel toys on your hospital bed that no other child has ever seen before. This also made Mu Cai envied by the children in the same ward for a long time.

The system added: "Those toys were carefully selected by your parents and were prepared before Cai Cai was born. Cai Cai's parents love Cai Cai very much."

Mu Cai was silent for a long time, and a small flower exploded in his heart, feeling happy and sad at the same time.

She sniffed, her face flushed from crying, and she looked more cheerful.

She buried herself in the quilt, curled up into a small ball, and asked the system: "So do you have energy now?"

The system felt extremely distressed. He nodded and shook his head, "Sending Caicai back this time consumed a lot of my energy. The energy I had saved for a long time has almost bottomed out. I will continue to sleep soon."

Seeing that Mu Cai pouted again and looked like she was shedding tears, the system quickly added: "But I will appear in front of Cai Cai again soon. Now that we have returned to the interstellar, I can accumulate energy faster than on Blue Star. It’s much faster. And when we return to the interstellar, we can start doing tasks, save a lot of energy, and stay with Cai Cai all the time.”

Mu Cai's little face showed great confusion: "Interstellar? Is this the Interstellar? Why do we come here?"

"Because this is Caicai's original home," the system said.

Mosquito coils appeared in Mu Cai's eyes, obviously he couldn't think straight and didn't understand.

She unconsciously crossed her legs, and her ice-blue fish tail slapped against the bed. Only then did Mu Cai realize that her legs had turned into fish tails.

"What about this tail? Where are my legs? Will Caicai be unable to walk in the future?"

Thinking about the consequences of being lame: being laughed at by others as a "lame", unable to stand up, unable to go to the amusement park, and having to rely on the help of others for many things...

The tears that Mu Cai had finally stopped were about to burst out again.

She didn't want to be unable to walk, ugh, ugh.

The system quickly said: "No, our Cai Cai is different from ordinary fish. The tail of the fish can be turned into legs, but we have to wait until Cai Cai grows up. And Cai Cai can also move with his tail."

He noticed Mu Cai's dry lips and encouraged, "Cai Cai, try to use your tail now to get yourself a glass of water."

The water is placed on the table in the center of the room.

Mu Cai followed the system's instructions to lift up the quilt and move to the edge of the bed. Fortunately, the bed was not very high. With a clatter, Mu Cai fell to the ground.

She grabbed the edge of the bed, her ice-blue fish tail shimmering, and with a strong movement of her tail, she bounced off the ground with a snap, a little closer to the table in the center of the room.

The little mermaid's eyes were bright and her mouth was open in surprise.

Suddenly discovering the magical function of the fish tail, Mu Cai excitedly continued to bounce with the fish tail, and finally reached the table.

After struggling to climb onto the stool, Mu Cai poured himself a glass of water. Dry lips become moist.

She remembered the mission mentioned by the system again, held the cup and asked, "What mission is it? Is it difficult? After completing the mission, can you come out to accompany Cai Cai?"

The system nodded, realizing that Mu Cai couldn't see, and said, "Don't worry Cai Cai, the task is very simple. Cai Cai will be rewarded after completing the task, and you can exchange it for what you want."

Mu Cai's eyes were bright with anticipation.
