Lin Xian held Huang Que's ID card in his hand.

He sighed softly.

He raised his head and looked out at the boundless sea.

He didn't know what to think, but he felt that seeing the prefix number belonging to his hometown on Huang Que's ID number...the impact on his heart was truly great.

Huang Que was born in the Imperial Capital, and her original ID number was from there.

Although it was a fake now, it definitely couldn't use the original number... After all, Zhao Yingjun was also using this ID number. Once the numbers were duplicated, the internal system data would conflict, and it was likely that both of their ID cards would become unusable.

So, Huang Que only needed to change one of the last few digits. Although the last digit of the ID card is a verification digit, calculated and unchangeable, the second, third, and fourth digits from the end could be changed at will.

Even the numbers in front of those could be changed at will. After all, it was just a fake ID, so it didn't matter where she changed it.

But why...

In the end, Huang Que chose 330127, the code for Chun'an County in Hang City, the place where she was born and raised, as her place of origin.

This was definitely not a coincidence.

There were so many cities, so many counties, so many area codes in all of Long Country... Huang Que must have deliberately chosen this place. As a "fake ID" specially made by a national department for a special purpose, she could definitely have any number made that she wanted.

Lin Xian felt a little emotional.

In Huang Que's world line and timeline, in her space-time, she must have also met a Lin Xian, and something must have happened between them.

But...

What kind of story was it?

Was it terrible? Regretful? A broken promise? Or... painful?

Lin Xian guessed that it probably wasn't a beautiful and complete ending.

It might have been beautiful once.

But the ending must not have been perfect.

Otherwise, why would Huang Que endure the pain and loneliness, leave her original time and space, and travel back to their past, to his present?

She inevitably wanted to change all of this, change the established history, and change her terrible fate.

But in the face of the cruel laws of time and space.

She was too weak and too helpless.

There were so few things she could do. She could only try her best to guide him, teach him, and help him grow up.

Just like what Huang Que said in front of the statue of Frederick V in Amalienborg Palace:

"I will accompany him in his ordinariness, teach him to be excellent, and wait for him to mature. And then..."

"Watch him slowly become great."

...

This was Huang Que's expectation.

Lin Xian put Huang Que's ID card into his inner pocket.

Huang Que was already gone.

There was no need to think too much or to worry about gains and losses.

He walked forward.

Without taking off his leather shoes, he stepped directly into the seawater, walking towards the Little Mermaid who was pensively looking into the distance.

With a splash, the cold seawater seeped into Lin Xian's shoes, trouser legs, and every pore of the skin on his calves.

He finally arrived at the foot of the Little Mermaid statue.

He reached out.

And placed his hand on the Little Mermaid's bronze hand:

"The Little Mermaid did not die. She turned into bubbles and flew into the sky in the sunlight, gaining an immortal soul, gaining eternal life."

He silently recited the story Huang Que told him, as reverently as a mourning scripture:

"Mermaids themselves do not have immortal souls. And they will never have such souls."

"Unless... she can win the love of a mortal."

Splash, splash...

The turbulent waves rolled in, beating against Lin Xian's body.

He still raised his head, staring at the Little Mermaid's eyes that seemed to reflect blue light:

"You just watch from above."

"Watch... a mortal slowly become great, on par with the gods."

He threw the clothes left by Huang Que in his arms into the sea one by one.

Watching them float on the waves, facing the sea breeze, rising and falling, and finally disappearing into the wind and waves, sleeping under the sea.

...

When he came, there were two people, when he left, there was one.

Lin Xian bought a ticket alone and boarded the flight back to Donghai City.

In the first-class seat, Lin Xian looked through Huang Que's phone.

No WeChat.

No games.

No entertainment software of any kind.

There were no photos in the album either.

She really came and went in a hurry, leaving nothing behind and taking nothing away.

He put away his phone.

Lin Xian closed his eyes and lay on the soft, semi-enclosed cabin seat.

From now on.

No one would guide him, no one would teach him, and no one would give him hints in the form of riddles.

He once read in a book.

That a person's growth and maturity are really completed in an instant.

When you discover the white hair on your mother's head, the moment she is no longer young;

When you see your father's back unable to straighten, the moment he starts asking for your opinion;

When you complete a wonderful game kill, the moment you turn around and there is no one to share it with;

When you no longer laugh or be lively, the moment you start to go from looking forward to growing up to not wanting to grow up;

At that moment, a person truly and irrevocably grows up.

When Huang Que was still around, even though Lin Xian himself didn't realize it, he was indeed very dependent on Huang Que.

Huang Que Yanxuan's existence allowed him to distinguish between friends and foes and right from wrong without using his brain at all.

But now.

All of this needs to be weighed and judged by himself.

He opened his eyes.

And sat back up.

Resting his chin in his hand, he began to think about his future situation and plans.

The current situation was very anxious and chaotic for him, with no way out.

He had to break the situation!

And the key to breaking the situation, even breaking the situation for both of them, was all on [Kevin Walker].

First, let's talk about the dream world.

The fourth dream has been stuck for a long time, directly blocking his access to information, resources, and information from the future world.

This made him more passive than ever before.

To this day, Kevin Walker is still the mysterious old man's prime suspect. Whether he is or not, he must start with him first and try to save himself who is trapped as soon as he appears in the fourth dream.

If he was lucky.

After killing Kevin Walker, it was very likely that the mysterious old man would directly disappear, and he could be free in the fourth dream, go to Time Bank, open the safe, and judge the truth and falsehood of the dream by checking the small note Chu Anqing wrote to him.

If he was even luckier.

Maybe he would directly enter the fifth dream after killing Kevin Walker. After all... the ability to dispatch dozens of fully armed soldiers to squat there from morning till night to monitor him showed that the mysterious old man had a high status and power in that future sci-fi city.

If he disappeared as early as 2024.

Then it was likely that the dream and city 600 years later would also change drastically.

In short, new and old grudges were calculated together. In order to verify and save the dream world, starting with Kevin Walker was definitely the right thing to do.

Let's talk about the real world.

At present, he had two and a half clear enemies.

1. Kevin Walker, who interfered with his capture of space-time particles and hijacked the US spaceplane to crash into him.

2. The space-time assassin who killed Huang Que, he must make her pay for this debt in blood.

2.5. Jask, the murderer who killed vv. But because there was no direct conflict with him and the purpose was unknown, he was first considered half an enemy, with a lower priority.

So to speak.

The breakthrough in the real world must also start with trying to eliminate Kevin Walker.

Only by killing him could the space-time in the dream world change, and then the space-time clock could display a value, that is, the space-time curvature, and then deduce the space-time coordinates.

With the space-time curvature, Liu Feng could continue his research on the cosmological constant 42.

With the space-time coordinates, he could pass the first test of the Genius Club.

In summary.

The focus of breaking the game in reality and dreams all pointed to Kevin Walker, a powerful enemy who had never met him and whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Kevin Walker must be eliminated."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, looking at the white clouds outside the plane window, and set his recent and current [primary goal].

There was absolutely no need to be soft-hearted with this guy, and there was no need to worry about any legal responsibility for eliminating him.

More than 100 countries around the world have now issued global arrest warrants for Kevin Walker.

Long Country was also included, and a red arrest warrant was issued. The US had long been resentful and directly offered a reward of 1 billion US dollars, dead or alive.

With the two major countries of Long and the US expressing their stance like this, which country in the world would dare to protect Kevin Walker?

Obviously, no one.

Kevin Walker, who had become the public enemy of Long Country, the United States, and even the world on this planet, could not be saved even if the gods came.

Kevin played too big this time, he went too far.

Now armed organizations, mercenaries, and official forces and detectives from various countries around the world... were all looking for Kevin Walker's traces in every corner of the earth.

If they caught him, not to mention that several major countries around the world would have to give them commendations and good news, just the billions of dollars in bounty were enough for them to squander for several lifetimes.

This situation was an invaluable opportunity for Lin Xian.

Whether he killed Kevin Walker himself or killed Kevin Walker by borrowing a knife, it was a good thing for him.

"A new cat-and-mouse game has begun."

Lin Xian closed his eyes, leaned back, and said wearily and somewhat self-deprecatingly:

"Why did I say again..."

...

After returning to Donghai City and landing at Pudong International Airport, Lin Xian got into his Alpha exclusive car and went to Liu Feng's Rhine Laboratory at Donghai University.

After meeting.

He told Liu Feng about Huang Que's disappearance.

"This is also something I expected."

Liu Feng sighed regretfully, but he was mentally prepared:

"Think about it, on the spaceplane, her eyes were extinguished and her body became transparent... Considering that the space-time particles became invisible because the internal energy was exhausted, leaving only a shell. Then Huang Que was also a space-time traveler and a space-time outsider... It was inevitable that she would disappear sooner or later under the torment of space-time exclusion."

Lin Xian nodded:

"I also had a premonition, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. The main reason is that we know very little about space-time travelers. You said... For the existence of this sci-fi concept of space-time travelers, all we know is that they come from the future, from other time and space, from other timelines... We know almost nothing."

"Every time Huang Que coughed weakly, fell to the ground, became transparent, and the blue in her eyes dimmed, I thought it was a sign of disappearing, but I couldn't tell which time was the last time. Because even if she was so weak that the blue light in her eyes completely disappeared, she would fully recover after resting for a while."

As he spoke.

Lin Xian remembered the rainy night when he first met Huang Que, in Zhao Yingjun's office.

At that time, Huang Que's eyes were indeed brighter than they were now, but they were only a little brighter, definitely not as bright as a young female killer or a space-time assassin.

The eyes of a space-time assassin were as bright as LED lights, like exaggerated anime contact lenses at a comic exhibition, and they even came with their own light.

In fact, reaching that level of brightness should have affected normal life, right?

"Liu Feng."

Lin Xian stopped Liu Feng, who was busy experimenting, and asked:

"You said, what does the blue light in the eyes of Huang Que and those space-time travelers mean? Is it possible that it is the same as the brightness of space-time particles, not only representing the length of their remaining time; but also representing the intensity, quantity, or even level of energy in the body, like a battery display?"

"I always feel that this description of mine seems to be talking about robots. But in general, the change in the strength of the blue light in Huang Que's eyes is very much like a robot, very much like a battery indicator."

"If there is another space-time traveler in this world, such as Red Que or Green Que, and her eyes are several times brighter than Huang Que's eyes, as bright as a blue light bulb. In this case... what do you think this brightness means?"

Liu Feng stopped the experimental instrument in his hand.

And looked up.

Looking at the ceiling thoughtfully.

"Um..."

He pondered:

"This is hard to say, because Huang Que herself didn't show any supernatural abilities, right? She just knew a little more and was a little more mysterious. She didn't have any superpowers or any energy-intensive moves. So... I think that eye color may just be a simple remaining time indicator."

"Isn't the reason why the eyes of space-time travelers turn blue the result of space-time exclusion? I remember you said that you thought the eyes turned blue because space-time itself rejected and resisted this foreign object, and would also instinctively perceive danger, so it deliberately turned the other person's eyes blue to remind the creatures of this time and space to pay attention."

"When I heard you analyze it like this on the spaceplane, I felt that you were thinking too fantastically. But when I thought about it carefully later... this is not necessarily impossible! This also exists in the animal world and even in human genes, which is called [vigilance amplification response]."

"The specific manifestation is, for example, humans, smelling the smell of cooked pork, roast beef, or stewed mutton will feel very fragrant, but smelling the smell of roasted human flesh will feel unusually disgusting and pungent. In fact, from a physical point of view, there is no special difference between these smells, and dogs smell almost the same."

"This is the human instinctual vigilance amplification response, which is very sensitive and resistant to the smell of harm to the same kind, and it is also an instinct to sense danger and avoid danger. So if we also consider the time and space's instinctual vigilance, then the fact that the eyes turn blue and glow... is really too wonderful!"

Liu Feng smacked his lips and exclaimed:

"Do you know where the wonderful thing is? The eye is a light-sensitive organ, and it must be exposed to see it, so there is no possibility of hiding it. You might say that you can wear sunglasses or colored contact lenses... This can indeed cover some colors, but it will also indirectly affect vision."

"Then, let's return to your question, if there are other travelers whose eyes are much brighter than Huang Que's! That means that even if they wear sunglasses or colored contact lenses, they can't cover this light. It's okay during the day, but once it gets to night, people with such bright eyes like light bulbs are simply nowhere to hide, and they will be the focus of attention and discovery wherever they go."

"So... I think, if there really is a space-time traveler whose eyes are very blue, very bright, and even so bright that they cannot be ignored. Then I think, from the perspective of the time and space's instinctual reaction, perhaps it can only explain one thing—"

Liu Feng turned back, looked at Lin Xian, and said with a serious expression:

"[It means that this space-time traveler is really very dangerous! Therefore, space-time exclusion will adjust the brightness of her eyes very high, just like roasted human flesh, so that people will notice it from a long distance, perceive the crisis, and leave immediately. ]"

...

Lin Xian turned the water-based pen he had stolen from the experimental table, watching it spin between his fingers.

Liu Feng's understanding was very interesting.

He linked the brightness to the danger level, saying that the space-time exclusion instinctively recognized that this space-time assassin was very dangerous, so her eyes were so bright.

This was a novel understanding.

He had always thought it was related to energy.

When he had the opportunity, he must study this carefully to see what the brightness of the blue eyes of space-time travelers was related to.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Lin Xian turned his head again and glanced at the space-time clock in the middle of the experimental table.

As always.

It was still eight quiet zeros, 0.0000000.

"I hope it changes soon."

Lin Xian murmured.

"I hope so too."

Liu Feng spread his hands:

"Only if it changes can we continue to study the cosmological constant and space-time coordinates, and then we can have further breakthroughs."

"It's just... when will this thing change? There must be something earth-shattering that affects the future trajectory of time and space, right?"

Lin Xian nodded:

"Don't worry, it's coming soon."

The rotating water-based pen stopped abruptly between his fingers, and he skillfully raised his wrist and flicked it—

Clang.

The water-based pen accurately hit the inner wall of the pen holder and was inserted vertically:

"It's really coming soon."

He narrowed his eyes.

Thinking of a good way to eliminate Kevin Walker, and perhaps even directly ask for the space-time coordinate value.

...

After leaving Donghai University, Lin Xian continued to sit in the Alpha and asked the driver to drive to the Rhine Company Building.

He was in a hurry when he came back last time, and only had time to go to Time Bank, so he didn't have time to come to the company.

After a few months as a hands-off shopkeeper, a lot of things had accumulated that needed to be dealt with.

Although Brother Wang had been authorized to make decisions on major company matters directly.

But after all, Lin Xian was the boss and founder of Rhine Company, and many things had to be signed by him and could not be handled by others.

He had made an appointment with Brother Wang to meet at the Rhine Company office this afternoon.

The driver in front turned on the right turn signal, preparing to change lanes to get off the elevated road.

The Rhine Company Building was next to the MX Company Building, and it would be there after getting off the elevated road and passing two intersections. Lin Xian could see the two twin buildings from a distance.

Under the elevated road was a public elementary school.

It was still far from the end of school, so there were no parents waiting to pick up their children or street vendors everywhere. Only a few bookstore owners, stationery store owners, and print shop owners in the shopping street by the school were smoking and chatting at the door.

Hmm?

Bookstore?

Lin Xian lowered the car window and looked at the several bookstores next to each other at the school gate:

"Stop on the side of the road, I'm going to buy a book."

After the vehicle temporarily parked on the side of the road, the driver controlled the electric door to open and slowly retreat.

Lin Xian got out of the back seat and went directly into the bookstore.

He wanted to buy a copy of *Andersen's Fairy Tales*, which could also be regarded as making up for his childhood regrets and giving Andersen a belated ticket.

By the way...

He also really wanted to see how Huang Que's favorite *The Little Mermaid* was written in the original work.

The immortal soul.

He was a little expectant, how would Andersen explain this kind of fantasy thing to children?

He came to the first bookstore and directly told the owner that he wanted to buy a copy of *Andersen's Fairy Tales*.

"Is the bilingual version okay?" The owner rummaged through the bookshelves and turned his head to ask.

"Of course, that's the best."

Lin Xian's English level was good, so wouldn't a bilingual version be better to understand the essence of the original?

The owner took out a thin fairy tale book from the bookshelf and handed it to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian took it and looked down:

*Andersen's Fairy Tales Pinyin Reader*

"..."

He looked up at the owner:

"Is this what you said is the bilingual version?"

"Otherwise?"

The owner looked pure:

"Isn't this bilingual?"

Lin Xian casually opened it and looked at it, turning to the story of *The Little Mermaid*.

It was too short, short and small, and it was finished in less than two pages.

As expected, there was no mention of an immortal soul or eternal life in the ending.

It only said that the little mermaid flew into the sky in bubbles, smiling and waving goodbye to the prince, mermaids, and everything on the ground.

After all, it was a children's reader, so this adaptation was reasonable.

Lin Xian directly returned the bilingual reader to the owner:

"Is there anything more advanced? This is too childish, something for adults to read."

"Who reads fairy tales as an adult!" The owner snorted:

"I only have this one, you can go to the other bookstores next door and see."

He went out.

After turning to the third bookstore, he finally bought a copy of *Andersen's Fairy Tales* at the original level, and the cover was written with large words of unedited, unadapted, and restoring the real *Andersen's Fairy Tale* world.

After paying the money, Lin Xian took the *Andersen's Fairy Tales* and got back into the Alpha business car, driving to the Rhine Company Building.

...

An hour later, Brother Wang left Lin Xian's office with a stack of materials in his arms.

During that time just now, Lin Xian was signing, signing, and signing.

Brother Wang was handing over materials, turning pages, handing over materials, and turning pages.

The two had worked together like this several times, with a clear division of labor and extremely high efficiency.

After Brother Wang left.

Lin Xian looked at the clock, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was still early.

It was rare for the office to be so quiet, so he would read a book here for a while.

Lin Xian leaned back in the boss chair behind him, picked up the newly bought *Andersen's Fairy Tales* and started reading.

He wasn't interested in other stories, so he directly turned to the *The Little Mermaid* article.

Hmm.

This thickness was normal.

Facts proved that the original version of *The Little Mermaid* was quite long, like a short story, definitely not as perfunctory as the large font and sparse lines on the pinyin reader.

There were as many as twenty pages...

How much more content was this?

Lin Xian read carefully.

Perhaps it was because of the translation tone... it read very obscurely and not smoothly, and the large paragraphs of text were not divided into lines, which made his eyes very tired.

But as Huang Que said, the real ending of *The Little Mermaid* was better than imagined, even better than the version in the children's pinyin reader.

The reason why the pinyin reader deleted the concept of the immortal soul was ultimately because it was obscure and difficult to understand, but there were also many other deletions, which were simply used to coax children to sleep.

"You, poor little mermaid, like us, have once fought wholeheartedly for that goal; you have endured pain; you have persevered; you have risen to the world of elves. Through your kind work, in three hundred years, you can create an immortal soul for yourself."

Lin Xian read the words on the book softly:

"The little mermaid raised her bright arms to God's sun, and she felt tears for the first time. She lowered her head, smiled at the prince, and then followed the other children in the air, riding on the rosy clouds and rising into the sky: 'In this way, three hundred years later, we can rise to heaven!'"

...

It was over.

Lin Xian placed the fairy tale book on his lap and looked up at the ceiling.

"Huang Que was wrong."

No.

Lin Xian shook his head:

"Maybe she still deliberately lied to me."

"The book didn't say that the little mermaid immediately gained an immortal soul... Doesn't she still have to work for three hundred years and then make three hundred years of kindness to this world before she can gain an immortal soul and ascend to heaven?"

Lin Xian smiled helplessly.

Sometimes, it was really hard to tell whether this kind of fairy tale book was a comedy or a tragedy.

The state of mind was different.

The results seen were also different.

"Three hundred years, six hundred years."

Lin Xian silently recited these two equally distant times:

"I hope we can see each other again."

Lin Xian stood up and put the *Andersen's Fairy Tales* in a corner of the desk:

"Even if... you may not be called Huang Que at that time."

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Was it Brother Wang who came back again?

"Come in."

Lin Xian said, pressing the door switch, and the office door in front of him opened in response.

Da da da.

The first thing that came into the room was a pair of slender legs wearing high heels.

It seemed familiar.

He looked up.

Zhao Yingjun was wearing a beige coat, pearl earrings, smiling and walking in generously:

"Lin Xian, long time no see."

Lin Xian opened his mouth, then closed it, and nodded gently:

"Yes... it's been several months."

Da da da.

The sound of high heels continued to come towards him, and Zhao Yingjun's eyes were still looking at Lin Xian:

"You were borrowed by the country to perform secret missions shortly after the last science charity dinner. Now that you're back... are you finished?"

Lin Xian nodded:

"It's over."

Judging from Zhao Yingjun's appearance... she probably didn't know about Chu Anqing.

That's right.

People have always reported good news but not bad news. Chu Shanhe probably wouldn't make it public that his daughter disappeared so strangely.

"You came at the right time."

Lin Xian said:

"I just finished my work today and came here to take a look."

Zhao Yingjun lowered her head and smiled:

"I ran into Brother Wang just now, and he told me you were here today, so I said I would come over to say hello."?

It was Brother Wang again?

Lin Xian vaguely remembered that the last time he came to this office, before his butt had warmed the chair, Zhao Yingjun came in.

The reason was the same, she ran into Brother Wang, and Brother Wang said it.

This Brother Wang wouldn't be an undercover agent, would he!

He reported to Zhao Yingjun as soon as he came to the company?

But...

It wasn't strange for him to be an undercover agent, after all, Brother Wang was Zhao Yingjun's person, and even... most of the mainstays in his Rhine Company were from MX Company.

To put it nicely, they were sister companies.

In reality, he was no different from being hollowed out, equivalent to a branch of MX.

But it didn't matter.

Someone managed the company for him, someone made money for him, and Lin Xian didn't care about status or being hollowed out.

He only looked at the books.

As long as it didn't lose money, as long as he could buy equipment for Liu Feng, and as long as Time Bank didn't collapse.

He had these three requirements.

But in fact, Rhine Company's current profits were already very considerable, but his mind wasn't on it.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yingjun put her hands in her pockets, walked to Lin Xian's desk, and looked at the *Andersen's Fairy Tales* on the corner of the desk:

"Are you reading fairy tales?"

"I read it occasionally."

"I like *Andersen's Fairy Tales* very much." Zhao Yingjun's eyes were a little nostalgic, looking at the book's brand-new cover:

"I still remember that the first gift I received in my life... was probably when I was three or four years old. Maybe there were birthday gifts before, but I was too young to remember."

"The first birthday gift I remember was a bilingual English-Chinese *Andersen's Fairy Tales*. It was also because my parents were too demanding, they would send a bilingual fairy tale book to such a small child... I didn't even know a few Chinese characters, how could I understand English?"

"When I really started reading Andersen's fairy tale book, I was already in elementary school. The stories inside are not bad, although they are not so fantastic, but for me in elementary school, it was like opening the door to a new world."

After saying that.

She looked up, blinked her eyes, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Speaking of... in Andersen's fairy tales, do you have any particularly favorite fairy tales?"

"*The Little Mermaid*, I guess."

Lin Xian blurted out and nodded:

"This one is pretty good. I think this is the real fairy tale, not so deliberately sentimental, with a beginning and an end and logic, and it also tells a love story full of meaning and allegory."

"But how should I put it... this story may not be very good as a fairy tale, but if you are older and have experienced something, and then come back and read it again, you will really feel a lot."

He didn't know what was going on.

Just like that...

Almost reflexively, he said the words that Huang Que once said, without changing a single word.

He felt that it was indeed very reasonable.

He also felt a lot.

But what touched him the most was not the story of *The Little Mermaid*, but the story of Huang Que herself, and... the words she spoke.

Zhao Yingjun was stunned.

Her eyes widened.

Looking at Lin Xian incredulously:

"You... you actually have the same idea as me. You said everything I wanted to say... I don't know what to say now."

She was amused by the tacit understanding in front of her, and habitually stretched out her right index finger to pull the broken hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear:

"It's quite a coincidence, really, my favorite fairy tale has always been *The Little Mermaid*. Reading this fairy tale several times can reveal a lot of deep meaning, and it is also very educational and can infect people."

"Speaking of... there is a statue of the Little Mermaid Princess in Copenhagen, Denmark, do you know?"

Lin Xian looked at Zhao Yingjun, hesitant to speak.

This...

Did she know, or didn't she know?

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't speak, Zhao Yingjun explained:

"I've only seen photos on the Internet, and I haven't actually been to Copenhagen. It's okay if you don't know this statue. It's somewhat famous, but it's not a real work of art. It's just placed on a reef by the shallow sea."

"But since you like *The Little Mermaid* so much, if you have the opportunity, you might as well take advantage of some company activities or team building to go abroad to Copenhagen for a visit."

She smiled and looked at Lin Xian:

"Let's go together then, to see that little mermaid."

Looking at Zhao Yingjun's smile.

At this moment.

Her smile in his lens when he and Huang Que stood under the Little Mermaid statue, overlapped.

Lin Xian touched his nose and nodded:

"Okay."

Zhao Yingjun stretched out her hands from her coat pockets, picked up the *Andersen's Fairy Tales* on the desk and flipped through it casually:

"Then it depends on your time. I feel like you are always very busy and nowhere to be seen. Ah... speaking of which, I actually came to you today to ask you for a favor."

Lin Xian looked up:

"What's the matter? Is there anything I can help with?"

"A small matter, about vv."

Zhao Yingjun put down the fairy tale book:

"Do you still remember vv? It's the Pomeranian I raised, the one that's very close to you, the one that looks like a dandelion and is always barking... you touched it last time."

"Oh, oh, I remember, I remember." Lin Xian nodded:

"What's wrong with it? Did something happen?"

"Hey..."

Zhao Yingjun sighed softly:

"The night before last, it probably had a nightmare. After waking up from the dream, it kept crying, and it was useless to coax it."

"Before, it had woken up from dreams like this, and as long as I played the video I recorded that day, that is, the video of you touching its head, it would be honest, just like you really touched its head, and it would fall asleep quickly, and sleep very soundly."

"But it didn't work this time... Even if I showed it that video, it still cried very sadly. I couldn't coax it down no matter what, it cried for almost an hour, and I even wanted to send it to the hospital to see if there was something wrong with it."

"Then, it probably cried so much that it didn't have the strength, so it closed its eyes and fell asleep out of exhaustion. Then these two days, it hasn't been very energetic, lying on the ground every day, and it doesn't bark or cheer when I get home. I took it to see the pet doctor, and there was nothing wrong with its body. The doctor also said that it was a dog's emotional problem and may have been stimulated by something."

"I'm... very worried about vv now. After all, I've raised it for so many years, and I'm very afraid that it will continue like this, not eating well, and not being able to get excited. Will it get some mental illness or something in the future?"

"It just so happens that you're back too. I was thinking that vv likes you the most, and listens to you the most... If you have time, why don't you come to my house to see vv? To coax it? It likes you so much, maybe if you go to coax it, it will be able to regain its original glory."

Listening to Zhao Yingjun's story, Lin Xian recalled the dandelion-like Pomeranian:

"When did it... have a nightmare? About what time at night?"
