"What's wrong, Ms. Zhi Zhi?" Luther asked, looking in the rearview mirror.
Yu Zhizhi clutched the carrot with both hands. She mumbled, "N-nothing…"
'Are you sure? Am I really not pregnant?' she asked the system in her mind.
The system's reply came back: 'Yes.'
'But why? We clearly mated that day…'
'This pertains to the core of the main storyline. The host is requested to explore it on their own.'
Yu Zhizhi froze.
She almost began to suspect that being carried to the bathroom by Yusen that day had just been a hallucination.
'Just what part of it had gone wrong…?'
'Or… did they not actually mate?'
'But the Mermaid had differentiated.'
'Besides, the memory of her body wouldn't lie to her…'
The next day, Yu Zhizhi's back was sore and her legs were weak, and the red marks left on her body—all of it proved she had indeed mated with the Mermaid.
…For an entire night.
