I Was Raised After Being a Mermaid

When the waiter saw An Jin, he went out to welcome him: "Hi, please come inside, what would you like to eat?"

An Jin turned her head and looked at Norman with bright eyes.

The waiter followed his gaze and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a friend of Team Tang. I don't know what kind of food he likes? I can help recommend it."

Norman: "Serve a piece of braised fish first, and see the menu for the rest."

He walked up to the boy, and the boy grabbed his sleeve.

An Jin pointed to the braised fish cubes on the nearest table, looking forward to it.

A smile flashed in Norman's eyes: "It's already ordered."

An Jin pursed her lower lip in embarrassment, silently wrote down the name of the dish, followed Norman to the empty seat in the corner, and the two sat down side by side.

Norman clicked on the electronic menu on the table: "Order what you want."

Worried that the boy would not understand, he pointed to the pictures of various dishes.

An Jin's eyes lit up when he saw the picture.

When he makes money, he must invite Norman back!

He didn't order unfamiliar dishes. He ordered steamed fish, spicy lobster, and scrambled eggs with tomato. Thinking that there were only two of them, he didn't continue to order, and pushed the screen towards Norman.

Norman added a portion of star beast meat and a portion of soup, and clicked OK.

He asked the boy again: "How did you learn Interstellar?"

At this time, someone at the table next to him said loudly: "Boss, let me have another serving of boiled pork slices. It's delicious!"

An Jin turned her head away, then turned back to look at Norman: "It's delicious!"

Even the tone of voice is very similar to that person's.

An Jin thought to himself, the best way to make it reasonable for him to be able to speak for the first time in the holographic world is to let Norman know that he has a strong ability to learn to speak.

Norman asked this question twice, but the boy didn't answer. He couldn't help guessing that the boy didn't understand.

But judging from the teenager's reaction, it is likely that he learned it after listening to others.

Norman looked at the boy, who was sitting on a chair with his hands on the table, obedient and clever, his eyes fixed on the promotional menu on the table, even though he looked ordinary, he looked innocent and cute.

If the little mermaid hadn't entered the holographic world with him, he would never have thought that the boy was actually a mermaid when he saw the boy.

An Jin noticed his scrutinizing gaze, turned her head to look at him, and turned her head slightly to the right to express her doubts.

Norman suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why don't you like that tavern?"

An Jin's cheeks bulged, and he folded his hands on the table, lightly shook them, explained the main situation, and made sure he heard every word.

"Someone wants to touch my hand."

He hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to explain what happened afterwards, after all, it was a long paragraph.

As the little mermaid entering the holographic world for the second time, her language skills should not be that strong.

He said this sentence intermittently, but every word was accurate.

Norman understood almost immediately what was going on.

The little mermaid has no money, and cannot change her image when entering the holographic world, and the little mermaid's appearance is very delicate.

He knows the virtues of some people in the holographic world well.

He frowned suddenly: "Do you still remember the ID?"

The appearance of the holographic world can be changed, but the ID will not. Everyone will have a unique ID on their wrist.

An Jin blinked her eyes with a dazed look: What is ID?

Norman grabbed his left hand, turned his wrist, and there was a number there: "This is your ID."

An Jin was surprised, he didn't even notice.

Seeing this, Norman stopped asking, the little mermaid obviously didn't remember.

He exerted a little force on his hands, and when the little mermaid looked up at him, he said seriously, "If anyone touches you in the future, hit him!"

As he spoke, he looked down at the little mermaid's slender fingers. The nails were round, pink and tender, and they had no offensive power at first glance.

His gaze continued to move down and landed on the little mermaid's feet.

I don't know if the strength has changed after the tail becomes two legs, and whether it can beat others.

He let go of the boy's hand, moved the chair to the side, opened the distance between the two of them, then stretched out his right leg, and placed it not far in front of the boy.

He looked at the boy: "You kick me."

An Jin:?

Seeing that the boy was standing still, Norman kicked his right foot with his left foot: "Kick."

He pointed to the boy's right foot, and then pointed to his own: "Kick me."

An Jin was sure that he heard correctly just now, and kicked lightly according to his request, feeling that he had kicked an iron plate.

Norman: "Hardly." He patted the table lightly, and then increased his strength, "Hardly."

An Jin looked at him, his eyes suddenly bent into a crescent shape, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Although Norman always looks serious, he is actually more careful than many people.

Since he knew Norman, Norman always used actions to make him understand various meanings, just like now.

The serious appearance of demonstrating makes him feel warm and cute.

Seeing the boy suddenly laughing, Norman glanced at the table, took another shot, and made a loud sound: "Like it?"

Seeing that he misunderstood, An Jin shook his head: "No," he pointed to Norman's feet, "kick?"

Norman nodded: "Exercise."

An Jin first tried to kick with a little force, but Norman's foot didn't move at all, and Norman asked him to use his utmost strength.

An Jin took a deep breath, kicked Norman's right foot violently, and the two feet collided with each other, making a dull thud.

Norman's foot was knocked back a little, An Jin's foot was brought forward, because of the force, the body was also carried forward by the inertia, and fell forward.

The whole process took only a second. An Jin was completely unprepared, unable to stabilize her body, and subconsciously closed her eyes to welcome the pain.

With a long hand, Norman grabbed the boy lightly, and when he looked down, the boy closed his eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

The little mermaid is equally timid in form.

An Jin opened her eyes, and saw that she was hugging Norman's arm, almost hanging on Norman's arm, her face turned red, she quickly let go, and took a step back.

As soon as he moved, pain came from the bone in front of his calf: "Hiss..."

He took a breath, and a layer of mist immediately appeared in his eyes.

Before the end of the world, he was a pampered young master, especially afraid of pain, but his parents didn't like him crying, and he was not delicate, so he rarely cried, but he couldn't control his physical tears.

He quickly looked at Norman's leg, his hoarse voice became softer: "Do you hurt?"

He really didn't expect that his foot was so strong that he could kick Norman.

He is in such pain, Norman may not feel well.

Norman was slightly taken aback. He has suffered countless injuries in training games and battles since childhood. No one has ever asked him that.

He looked at the reddish eyes of the young man, with obvious worry in his eyes, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "It doesn't hurt."

He grabbed the young man's slender waist with both hands, lifted him up easily, and gently put him back on the seat.

Before An Jin could react, she sat down on the chair again.

He looked up at Norman who was like a hill in front of him, and suddenly understood Norman's aesthetics.

He pointed to Norman, and then to himself: "Can it be the same?"

"Yes," Norman squatted down and rolled up the boy's trousers, "but the strength and endurance are related to me."

The little mermaid's tail becomes the back of the foot, which is very powerful, but still delicate.

There was a warm touch on An Jin's feet, he felt itchy, he shrank his feet unconsciously, and the tips of his ears turned red.

Before the apocalypse, except for Mrs. Zhang and Grandpa the gardener, he rarely had close contact with people. After the apocalypse, everyone was more vigilant and kept a distance.

He doesn't feel at ease, especially since Norman's presence is so strong.

Norman pressed his leg bone lightly to make sure it wasn't broken, and comforted him, "It's a small injury, it will heal soon."

If it was too serious, he would have to take the little mermaid offline.

In addition to severe mental trauma, physical injury and mental loss, the holographic world will automatically recover after going offline without affecting the actual physical condition.

Norman stood up and said seriously to the boy, "From now on, you will kick anyone who touches you, and you will be offline if you can't win."

He said, and taught the little mermaid how to log off.

It was only then that An Jin discovered that there was a small blue dot where Norman was located on his panel, and there was also a 'Parent' sign.

An Jin: ...it seems to be better than the master.

"Is the food ready?" the waiter came over and asked.

Norman nodded, he bent down, lifted the boy lightly, put the boy on his left arm, and walked to the left.

An Jin quickly supported his shoulders, her eyes were glued to the table: "Eat!"

He was a little anxious, the waiters were starting to serve food, Norman would not take him out of the holographic world because he was injured?

He hasn't eaten good food for more than two years, and he doesn't want to give up this opportunity at all!

Norman chuckled, because of his voice, his voice was low and magnetic: "Don't worry."

He walked to the sink in the left corner and put the boy down: "Follow me."

He reached under the thin tube on the wall, and a second later, a drop of hand sanitizer fell on his palm.

An Jin did as he did, and imitated him again by putting his hands under the faucet to catch some water, rubbing his palms, washing his hands carefully, rinsing them, and drying them.

Norman's attention has been on the young man. The young man has the most ordinary face on his face, imitating his movements seriously, which inexplicably makes him feel cute.

He praised: "An An is really smart."

An Jin was a little embarrassed, he was not a real mermaid, and he would feel guilty after receiving such a compliment.

When the two returned to the dining table, An Jin was immediately attracted by the dishes on the table.

The braised fish pieces are cooked very well, the thickened juice on the surface is red and oily, and the spicy lobster is also a big red bowl. The back of the steamed fish is cut with a knife, and the fish meat is white and tender.

He swallowed silently, and turned to look at Norman.

Norman picked up the chopsticks and handed him a pair: "Follow me."

Norman was surprised by An Jin's learning speed again. In less than 2 minutes, he could use chopsticks.

An Jin ate very happily. Although every dish had a slight bitter taste due to impurities, the seasonings and dishes had a strong taste, and the bitterness of impurities was directly ignored by him.

Compared with the food in the last days and the food without any seasoning before, it is already very delicious.

He didn't stop until he couldn't eat anymore, touched his bulging stomach, and secretly regretted that he was not the king of big stomachs.

Thinking that he could come to the holographic world in the future, he became happy again.

Seeing his satisfied face, Norman asked, "Like it?"

An Jin nodded quickly: "It's delicious!"

"What else do you want to do?" Norman asked.

An Jin still felt pain in her feet, she didn't want to walk, so she shook her head.

Norman chose to log off, the scene in front of the two of them changed at the same time, and they returned to the bathroom.

Norman took off the helmet, helped the little mermaid take off the helmet, and handed it to the robot beside him.

An Jin quickly stretched out his hand: "Ah!" He will enter the holographic world in the future.

Norman looked at him: "An'an."

An Jin blinked her eyes and tilted her head: "Huh?"

He is not going to expose the fact that he can speak in reality for the time being, and has to observe Norman's next actions first.

Norman knows that he can speak interstellar language in the holographic world, will people study him out of curiosity?

An Jin couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Norman looked at the little mermaid's reaction and thought, can't the mermaid form speak interstellar language?

Can you understand me then?
