I don't date non-humans

The screen of the phone was still on.

Chi Diao moved his gaze to the last photo, opened it, and double-clicked to zoom in.

The washstand fell sideways on the marble floor with distinct stripes, in a state of distress, a pale and twisted hand stretched out out of thin air, loosely spread out, presenting a strange shape from this angle.Bottles and cans with different labels were scattered on the ground, and pills and water stains mixed on the ground to form a messy background.

If it was an ordinary family, would they put so many health medicines in the bathroom?

The thought flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning.

But if you are really keen on maintenance, then this approach does not seem to be surprising.Maybe it's a personal habit. I'm used to taking the medicine before going to bed, so that I can get the pills directly when I wash up every night.

Sleepiness came, Chi Diao didn't think about it any more, he closed his eyes and let himself fall into the dark dream.

The next day was still a cloudy weather.

The ginkgo leaves that have begun to fall beside the road are stained with the scorching heat of the whole summer, and the falling with the cool wind seems to announce the end of the whole season.The sun gave up the morning and evening work in summer, and began to enter the longer and tedious period of slack, only lazily using the remaining temperature to warm the northern seaside city wearily.

The sea surrounds the city, warming its foundations from the bottom up.In summer, the scorching heat shines from the scorching sun above, but in autumn, that kind of warmth spreads up from the ground, entangled those wrapped ankles and calves like vines.

Chi Diao opened the window of the balcony outside and moved the flowers and plants at home to the window to get more sunlight.The cold wind with the aroma of soybean milk blew in, and he shivered uncontrollably.

He turned around and bit his toothbrush to add fish food to the little fish at home.He glanced at the time when passing by the calendar, and before he knew it, he had been in this world for two or three months.Buying back the protagonist seems to have been a long time ago.

The light-colored bait floated on the water, and the small fish, which was obviously longer than yesterday, poked its head out from the shadows.

I don't know if it's because of being the main character.This little fish grows exceptionally fast.If it wasn't for Chi Diao, he was sure that he was really just feeding it some ordinary fish food, not sailor spinach or growth hormone.He still really wondered if he had raised a normal fish.

But if it's the protagonist, then there seems to be no problem with this?

After all, he has seen even more exaggerated things.

"Good morning."

Chi Diao knocked on the fish tank, and the thick wall of the fish tank made a dull sound.The smooth surface reflected his shadow.The small fish inside did not immediately swim out happily wagging their tails as usual, but carefully hid in the shadows and looked at the fish in the pond.Only use those dark eyes to stare at the pond fishing through the transparent liquid.

After feeding in the pond fishing these days, the protagonist has now successfully grown from a cute little fish to a big one.

Well, a big fish.

A small guppy with long and short thumbs can be called cute when it wags its tail to show off its cuteness, but in just two months, this guppy has changed from the original thumb length to about half the arm length of an adult ...that looks rather scary.

It's time to change the fish tank, Chi Diao sighed.Putting this on the agenda in his memo, he plans to go to Taobao to see if there is a customized fish tank, or ask the shopping guide brother of the tropical fish pet shop to see if he can enter a larger fish tank.

He took a look at the small apartment of the original owner.If you change the sofa at home to a smaller one, and then move the position of the coffee table, there will be almost more places to place the fish tank.

The bigger and bigger fish tanks occupy a large part of his living space, and things like feeding and watching fish firmly occupy a place in his busy life.

The protagonist in the fish tank jumped up, took a bite of fish food, and dived into the bottom of the water again.

The picture of the living room that had been laid in his mind was broken, and Chi Diao stared at the fish tank with some surprise.

[System, why do I feel that something is wrong with the protagonist today. 】

【What? ] The system is a little confused.

[That is, why do I feel that I look different from yesterday—is it a little scaled? 】

Indeed, the beautiful blue scales on the originally shiny body seemed to be bald.

Seemingly knowing that he is not so good-looking today, Xiao Yu took a picture of the glass inside.

[If the scales are off, should I feed something with high protein?Or should I switch to fish food? 】

Although the system promised to be fine after testing, Chi Diao still poured half a spoonful of bait in the morning with distress, watching the little guy touch his finger affectionately, and then swim around happily eating.

While eating breakfast, Chi Diao turned on the TV, and the female anchor, who was full of heaven, was speaking loudly, with a certain newly launched health care product on hand.Behind him is a brand new face, which is the latest missing person in the disappearance case.

In the photo, the high school girl with a sweet smile has dimples on her face, but she looks like a teenager, smiling without worry.In stark contrast are her grieving family members.The unkempt woman cried and complained loudly in the report, and even knocked down the camera in excitement.

The camera moved away immediately, and the hostess warned citizens not to go out at night with a straight face.Don't be alone when you have to go out, and stay away from those acting suspiciously.

The sky outside has gradually cleared up, and the lazy morning light of early autumn has finally come.But above the city, in those places higher than the sun, black shadows are converging there, perhaps brewing into a huge storm, and finally destroying everything.

"What should I do if the fish at home suddenly lost their scales?" In the office, Chi Diao tried to ask Chen Xuan. He remembered that in his memory, his colleague had shared the tropical fish he raised in his circle of friends.

Whether it's the bright colors or the airy posture, it looks like it's well-raised.

"What fish is it?"

"Guppy, it's a very ordinary small tropical fish with a beautiful tail color."

"Unexpectedly, brother Lin, you are also the kind of person who can raise fish at home." Chen Xuan was a little surprised.

"What, isn't it?"

Chi Diao smiled nervously. Of course, his character couldn't be exactly the same as the original owner who had died.Although ordinary people wouldn't think of resurrecting a dead body, he didn't want his mutated personality to be too noticeable.

"No, it's just a feeling. Brother Lin, what you said seems to be suitable for raising cats or furry pet dogs." Chen Xuan explained.

"Guppies are easy to raise. As long as the water temperature is maintained and the water is changed frequently, there is usually no major problem. If the scale is the problem, you can change the fish food."

He then mentioned several types of fish food, and Chi Diao recorded them carefully in the memo on the phone.

"It's just that if the guppy loses its scales, can it be seen?"

"Ah, maybe I was wrong, but it is true that the color of the body has become lighter." Chi Diao immediately added after thinking of the huge contrast between the protagonist's body shape and the normal guppy.

"However, why do you like raising fish?" He tried to change the topic.

"It's nothing. I just read a piece of news when I was still in primary school. Biologists discovered a well-preserved primitive cod under the ice in Antarctica. Because it was too cold, everything was put into It was the same as in the refrigerator, and there was no sign of rot. When they cut open its stomach, I saw that there was a small fish inside. And the eyes of that small fish moved towards me, and it was still there. Alive." Chen Xuan said.

"At that time, I was thinking, what a great life this is. Even though it was eaten into the stomach, and after such a long time under the ice, that little life still persisted tenaciously. .”

"Normal fish don't do this at all." Chi Diao was a little puzzled.

"But, I really saw it at that time. That little fish can really move. It is still alive, even to the day when it breaks through the ice and sees the sun again." Chen Xuan laughed again, his eyes There is not much seriousness here.

"Did you know? They are the oldest vertebrates. All aquatic environments on this planet, from freshwater lakes and rivers, to saltwater seas and oceans, are occupied by them."

"Actually, they didn't even spare land. Strictly speaking, even we are their kind."

"Oh?" This unusual tone aroused Chi Diao's interest. "Why do you say this way?"

"When we were first in the mother's womb, we also had the shape of a tail, but later the tail of the fetus became a human leg. Even according to the theory of evolution, we all evolved from those fishes. That's right. Bar?"

Chi Diao nodded in agreement.

A sly smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face, he stretched his left hand to his right shoulder, and gestured along the curve of his side.

"But before we knew it, those creatures left their mark on us. Look here, even though the body has adapted to walk upright, our body still maintains a streamlined basic shape. Especially the support The most important bone in our body."

He was referring to the position of the spine.

"It's still here. No matter what kind of changes it undergoes, it loses gills, scales, or even produces lungs and other organs, but this most important bone has not been abandoned. And those other leg bones, Hand bones and the like, from a fish's point of view, are just tiny fishbone that can be ignored."

"So you see," he shrugged, "at the end of the day, we're all like each other."

"Fish are people who breathe in water with their gills. People are just fish that stand on land and walk upright."
