Chapter 265: The Little Mermaid, Once Unpopular, Becomes the Group's Darling (10)

Under Qing Yuan's intimidating presence, Wu Wu had no choice but to teach him human language.

Qing Yuan had a remarkable learning ability, picking up basic human speech and understanding in just one day.

Thrilled, Qing Yuan swam up to the small round hole and uttered two words.

"Baby."

Wu Wu, nearby, bit back his anger.

That bully! "Baby" was clearly his affectionate nickname for the little mermaid!

Now that jerk stole it—how annoying!

Wu Wu fumed silently, his fins twitching.

Before he could get far, Qing Yuan pinned him down with a claw.

"Where are you going?"

Qing Yuan looked down at him.

"Keep teaching me."

Wu Wu: ...

Yeah, right!

Of course, Wu Wu only dared to complain in his heart; outwardly, he had to nod in humiliation. Fine, he would teach!

Above the ice, Song Chuyi rubbed his ears.

He thought he heard a voice from below, but it was too distant to hear clearly.

He tugged at his earlobe and glanced at the other guests.

After two days of hard work, they finally finished building the ice house.

Xu Ru and the others had gone out of their way to build him his own ice house, while they constructed a slightly larger one for themselves.

It was close to his ice house, but not too close.

Song Chuyi was pleased and turned his attention to the small fish pond nearby.

The pond was home to about a hundred lively little fish.

The fish weren't fussy eaters; Song Chuyi fed them crushed-up crackers from the production team, and they gobbled them up.

While Song Chuyi fed the fish, Xu Ru and the others stole glances at him.

Even on the barren ice island, the little mermaid looked perfectly at home, like he was chilling in his own backyard.

His shimmering fish tail, glinting in the sunlight, had a hypnotic glow that drew everyone's gaze.

Someone murmured under their breath.

"He's stunning."

Yes, he is really handsome.

This is what everyone thinks, not just the guests, but also the audience in the live stream.

Now the number of online viewers in the live stream has exceeded 20 million, and the donations have surpassed 200 million.

Everyone came for the little merman, and the other guests are just benefiting from his popularity.

After admiring the little merman for a while, someone whispered again.

"Which family is he from?"

Which family could raise such a handsome and gentle little merman.

They couldn't figure it out.

But the resourceful internet users have already dug up Song Chuyi's background.

The little merman is the Song family's illegitimate child, who was brought back to the main family at the age of sixteen.

He has two very outstanding older brothers who strongly dislike this illegitimate child.

The love-starved little merman likes to attract the attention of his two brothers through drastic measures.

For example, making shocking remarks at important banquets, or faking illness and causing chaos in the entire Song family.

This time, he even signed up for a survival reality show, trying to get his two brothers to notice him through the show.

After the little merman's background was exposed, the audience's donations increased even more.

The comments were filled with sympathy.

"Wuwu, little Chuyi has had such a tough life, he just wants his brothers to love him, what's wrong with that."

"It's just the richest family in Jing City, the Song family, what's the big deal! Little Chuyi, let me be your brother, I'll give you all my possessions!"

"Auntie gives you a hug."

"What are those two Song brothers so arrogant about, just because they have money? Money without a conscience doesn't make them worthy of being little Chuyi's brothers."

…………

At the Song family villa, Song Huai looked at the comments, furious.

"These internet users are driving me crazy!"

"I'm not worthy of being Xiao Chu's brother? I'm the perfect fit!"

Song Huai looked at his calm elder brother, "Big brother, aren't you angry?"

Song Yuanqing spoke indifferently, "Only homeless dogs bark."

Song Huai laughed, "Big brother, you're harsh!"

He gave a thumbs up, pulled up the live stream again, looked at the younger brother in the picture, and muttered.

"I never realized before how handsome my brother is."

No, not just handsome, but also that light that seems to emanate from the depths of his soul, always unconsciously attracting him.

The Song family's bonds were weak, even though he and his big brother had grown up together, their relationship was not as close as that of ordinary brothers.

Song Huai had always treated his younger brother as if he were invisible, until the day he accidentally saw the live broadcast.

Seeing his younger brother in the broadcast suddenly made him want to be a better big brother.

"Big brother, do you think Xiao Yi will acknowledge us as his brothers?"

Song Yuanqing, standing beside him, did not answer.

Before, Song Yuanqing would have definitely said "yes."

But now, he wasn't sure.

He wasn't sure if he and Song Huai deserved to be the little mermaid's big brothers.

For the first time, the usually decisive head of the family felt lost.

Song Chuyi had no idea what was going on outside.

He counted the days; there were still twenty-five days left in the program.

That meant Qing Yuan wouldn't break through the ice and come out of the deep sea for another 25 days.

It was the first time he had gone so long without seeing what the villain actually looked like.

Song Chuyi bent down, leaned close to the small hole, and whispered, "Are you handsome?"

Under the ice, Qing Yuan finally understood the little mermaid's words.

Qing Yuan tapped Wu Wu's shell and asked, "Do I look good?"

He thought he was handsome, but he still needed affirmation from another creature.

Wu Wu wanted to say "ugly" or "super ugly," but as soon as he opened his mouth, pain shot through his shell.

What came out instead was: "Handsome! Really handsome!"

Qing Yuan was pleased. He puffed out his chest proudly and let out a low growl.

Beside him, Wu Wu covered his face with his claws.

The demon lord had finally gone mad.

After talking to the little mermaid, Qing Yuan was even more excited.

He dove into the deep sea to hunt for food.

Wu Wu swayed slowly, staring at the little mermaid on the ice, tears filling his eyes.

"Sweetie, Daddy can't save you, wuwu."

"You're going to get eaten by the demon lord."

Wu Wu grew more and more sorrowful as he thought, tears streaming down his cheeks.

As he cried, a vague idea started to take shape in his sluggish mind.

Why not make the Demon King think that "eating" is another way of eating in the human world?

As the Demon King's human language teacher, it was his duty to make him aware of the diversity of the human world!

The more Wu Wu thought about it, the more he felt this idea was good. His small, bean-like eyes lit up, and he stopped crying, scurrying on all fours to find Qing Yuan.

Not long after, Qing Yuan, having just finished feeding the little mermaid, followed Wu Wu to study again.

This time, Wu Wu cleared his throat, "You’ve already got the basics of the human language down."

"Right now, we will learn about the multiple meanings and sarcasm in human language."

Qing Yuan placed his front paws in front of him, looking serious.

He wanted to learn more so he could share it with the little mermaid later.
