Lil Pea swam in circles in the basin and spouted water at Hao Ren mischievously. She looked normal. While Hao Ren felt a little less worried, he still found something amiss about her. She swam with her body leaning to aside, and her movements were not as agile as before.
Hao Ren had been taking care of Lil Pea for two years now, and he accumulated a ton of strange knowledge about the mermaid. Normal parents would not keep checking if their daughter's tail was okay, but Hao Ren would. He began to think that he would be a fishery expert in two years.
"Do you feel any discomfort?" Hao Ren poked Lil Pea's small arms. The little mermaid may have looked active, but considering that she was hyperactive and naive at her age, it was difficult to tell if she could tell what was wrong with herself.
Lil Pea ran around Hao Ren's finger before she clung to his thumb. "I felt bloated, but I'm okay now," she said.
