"Clang"
Three-Eyed Uncle angrily stepped forward, took a deep breath, and pointed at Yezhi. "You need to act like lovers, do you understand what that means?" Yezhi shrank her neck and withdrew her hand that had been lightly resting on Bai Duoya's waist. "I'm sorry, Director! I was too nervous; it won't happen again!" Yezhi said this without any confidence. As she got closer to Bai Duoya, her body involuntarily stiffened, feeling tense and awkward.
She claimed to be a new woman of the new era, but deep down, she was still quite traditional. No matter how handsome Bai Duoya was, he was just a familiar stranger to her.
"Let go a bit; will hugging him kill you? What are you so nervous about?" Yezhi encouraged herself. They were just lovers. She glanced at the calm Bai Duoya, who had endured her strong hugs ten times without much change in his expression. Why didn't the director say anything to him about acting like lovers?
"Come on, Master!" Xiao Fang shouted while waving her hands.
Yezhi nodded, trying to cultivate her emotions. She imagined Bai Duoya's head being "swapped" with that of her ex-boyfriend. Both relationships had ended with an apology. Yezhi self-deprecatingly thought: all her memories were filled with bitterness; hugging? Kicking him would be more appropriate!
"Hmm!" A muffled grunt escaped.
This made Yezhi, who had been fuming with anger, blink in surprise. At that moment, Bai Duoya's dark eyes were tinged with anger as he wrapped his long, pale hands around his waist.
Even an idiot could tell what had happened. "Yes, I'm sorry!" Yezhi apologized with immense guilt. She stole a glance at Director Three-Eyed Uncle, who suddenly burst into hearty laughter. His laughter echoed through the forest and ocean, sounding particularly fierce.
Peter, the advertising manager, approached the laughing director. "Anduli!" The director named Anduli pulled Peter toward the floating square light screen in mid-air. He turned off the expanding square light waves that surrounded Yezhi and Bai Duoya. Xiao Fang took advantage of her height to squeeze in front of the square light screen, where the Master was seen raising his foot and mercilessly kicking Bai Duoya. Xiao Fang had long found Bai Duoya displeasing and was delighted to applaud.
Director Anduli pointed at Xiao Fang and said, "Haha! This little one has quite an eye; Peter, this is much more eye-catching than a mundane hug!"
Peter nodded with a smile as Anduli called out, "That's a wrap!" The staff erupted in cheers. Upon hearing those words, Bai Duoya paused for a moment and shot a fierce glance at the shrinking Yezhi.
Yezhi awkwardly turned away and walked toward the shimmering golden ocean. The towering waves rolled up golden foam as she scooped up the sparkling seawater and splashed it into the sky. The glimmering droplets fell like rain, creating a breathtaking scene.
Warm seawater soaked under the dark feet, Yezhi stepped on the waves, "childishly" chasing the golden surf, while Xiao Fang watched the owner play with great delight and hurried over with short legs.
At some point, Anduli turned on the camera, and waves of light spread out, enveloping Yezhi and Xiao Fang. Bai Duoya put on headphones, preparing to sit down, but suddenly threw them aside and jumped into the golden ocean.
"Wow~! Xiao Fang can't swim, what should I do? Owner, owner, save me!" Xiao Fang cried out loudly.
Yezhi was swept into the depths of the golden ocean by a big wave. Although her lungs felt like they were about to explode and her eyes were blinded by the golden light, she did not panic; she knew that her virtual self could not die.
However, Yezhi did not expect that the person who would save her would be Bai Duoya. After hugging her tightly ten times, that familiar touch and scent were hard to ignore.
After reaching the shore, Yezhi coughed a few times and felt somewhat better. With Xiao Fang helping her wipe her eyes, they gradually opened. Although the world before her was still blurry, she could see that Bai Duoya, who had three overlapping figures, had not come ashore and was still submerged in the water. Yezhi walked towards Bai Duoya, supported by Xiao Fang.
"Thank you...!" Before she could finish her sentence, Yezhi rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She couldn't have been mistaken; Bai Duoya was dragging a silver fish tail.
"A mermaid!" Bai Duoya was a mermaid.
"What are you staring at? Never seen one before!" Bai Duoya said irritably. Her cousin Tiansuo said women are the most troublesome creatures, and indeed! She would need at least three hours to shed her fish tail. Bai Duoya lamented: No big deal; it's not like this woman is going to die.
Yezhi nodded seriously, "I've really never seen one!" Everyone on Earth knows about Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid," but unfortunately, its tragic ending is quite lamentable! There’s also the movie "Mermaid Legend" starring Ekin Cheng and Zhong Liti. Haha, when Yezhi was in third grade, she explored video halls with her best friend. This movie holds significant nostalgic value as it was their first "adventure" squeezed among adults in a video hall.
The more Yezhi looked at Bai Duoya, the more she felt that she resembled the protagonist from the manga "Moonlight Infatuation" by Reiko Shimizu. In her youth, Yezhi was obsessed with that manga. "Hey, Bai Duoya, let's be friends!"
"Who wants to be friends with such a troublesome creature?" Bai Duoya looked at the golden ocean dismissively.
Determined, Yezhi thought about how dreamlike a mermaid's existence was. Since Bai Duoya was also her savior, she decided that this friend was worth having. "Little Bai, look at us; we've collaborated twice already and even hugged. It’s clear we’re not just ordinary friends..."
Anduli pulled Peter along, not wanting to disturb the two people talking by the coast. Xiao Fang was also called back by Anduli, while the camera's light waves hovered over Yezhi and Bai Duoya, but they remained unaware.
"Xiao Bai, I've actively offered my Social Network account name and video! As a man, shouldn't you be more generous?" Sometimes, friends really need to be thick-skinned to connect. At this moment, Yezhi was exceptionally bold; after all, she discovered that Bai Duoya was actually a person who appeared cold on the outside but warm on the inside!
Bai Duoya had never encountered someone as noisy and thick-skinned as Yezhi. Usually, his expressionless face would make people keep their distance, but today he had met his match. Frustrated, Bai Duoya reluctantly added Yezhi on Social Network.
Yezhi grinned widely, "Xiao Bai!"
"Shut up! Don't call me Xiao Bai anymore!" Bai Duoya shouted in frustration. Yezhi readily replied, "Then I'll call you Bai Bai, Duo Duo, or Xiao Ya Ya..." Bai Duoya felt like crying; even those names sounded endearing.
"That Peter! Peter!" Bai Duoya called out to Peter. Seeing that they had filmed enough, Anduli let Peter go over. "Mr. Bai!"
Bai Duoya stretched out his arms, "Hurry, hug me and take me away from here!" If he stayed any longer, he would be driven crazy by this woman named Yezhi. The moment Peter picked up Bai Duoya, Yezhi cheered; it was like a real-life version of a cute couple—Bai Bai looking so charming and delicate!
Bai Duoya twitched his eyebrows, urging Peter to take him straight to the spaceship; out of sight, out of mind!
The staff quickly packed up the equipment as Yezhi chatted with Anduli. "Director, are we not filming the hug?"
"We're not filming it anymore; there's a better scene to replace it," Anduli said cheerfully. He felt that the current idea was better than before and aligned more with the concept of "with you by my side, Cosmic Mall, City of Miracles."
"Director, now I’m confident we can film a good hug," Yezhi said. She no longer felt that sense of unfamiliarity with Bai Duoya; a friendly hug between friends with a touch of pink fantasy was totally fine for her! However, Anduli chuckled and declined her suggestion mysteriously saying, "A week later, the advertisement will make a stunning debut; remember to watch!"
...
Yezhi eagerly awaited the day the advertisement would be launched and asked Xiao Fang to call Bai Duoya via video.
Xiao Fang reported, "Master, Brother Bai is not answering!"
From the information retrieved from the Cosmic Network, Bai Duoya is a Moharian. Mohari Planet is a completely aquatic world where people have gradually evolved into a new species that is half-human and half-fish to adapt to life in water. With the overall progress of the Bodria Star System, Moharians have gained the ability to switch between legs and a fish tail. In simple terms, Mohari Planet is a mermaid kingdom.
"Master, it's starting!" Xiao Fang excitedly opened the Cosmic Mall Website.
The welcome screen of the Cosmic Mall Website disappeared, replaced by soothing piano music. In a dark and chaotic forest, Bai Duoya walked gracefully, while Yezhi, feeling somewhat anxious, also appeared in the forest. The two unexpectedly met in the darkness, and as they opened the Cosmic Mall Website, they exchanged smiles. The subtitle of Light Body appeared: "Encounter, with him/her/it by your side." Then, the subtitle changed: "The love of him, her, and it." On the golden coastline of the ocean, Bai Duoya and Yezhi gazed deeply into each other's eyes. Bai Duoya opened his arms, wanting to embrace Yezhi, but she raised her foot and kicked the handsome Bai Duoya hard before turning away. The subtitle of Light Body appeared: "Because there is no it!" Bai Duoya chased after Yezhi, who was splashing through the waves, silently sitting on the Golden Coast as he opened the Cosmic Mall Website. Yezhi returned from the waves, smiling as she sat beside him. At that moment, the Cosmic Mall appeared like a mirage on the golden sea surface, and once again, the subtitle of Light Body emerged: "With you by my side, Cosmic Mall, the city of miracles."
After watching, Yezhi burst into laughter; Anduli was so talented! This kind of attention made her feel secretly pleased as a female fan!
After watching, Bai Duoya was puzzled: "The director must be joking; my existence in the eyes of that dark woman is less important than Cosmic Mall!"
Indeed, once this advertisement aired, it sparked strong reactions—some loved it while others hated it. Among them, fans of Bai Duoya were particularly unhappy that the director had portrayed their prince in such an unflattering light. They were outraged by how Yezhi had kicked their idol and shouted: "Black and white do not match; how dare you!"
"Yezhi's legs are like elephant legs; fierce and evil—no one wants her!"
"Boycott Cosmic Mall, demand a change of female lead!"
This outcry about elephant legs and fierce behavior ignited dissatisfaction among loyal fans of Yezhi, leading to a wave of online battles sweeping across the Bodria Star System.
Of course, at this moment, Yezhi was still unaware; she and Xiao Fang were on the Cosmic Mall Website, purchasing a Pet Communicator!
