There was a limit to what body language could express, and Gina would not be able to get her meaning across in a short period of time, but what Mag could be certain of was that he was indeed her goal.

  Ingredient preparation was very important, so Mag told Gina to make herself at home while he started the preparations for the business operations.

  Gina saw Ugly Duckling standing at the counter, watching her carefully, so she slowly inched her way to the kitchen door while keeping her back close to the wall. In the end, she still chose to escape into the kitchen because she felt safer with Mag by her side.

  What is he doing? Is he training his knife skills? Gina watched as Mag busied himself in the kitchen. As he waved the knife in his hand, various vegetables were amazingly reduced to small pieces.

  Gina stood there for a while watching, but she still did not understand what Mag was doing. She looked left and right, and her gaze fell on a glass tank at the side. Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she walked over quickly.

  This little fishy seems a little different from the ones in the ocean. It looks quite beautiful. And this shrimp. Although it doesn’t look very big, it’s quite good-looking. Gina squatted in front of the fish tank and smiled. She reached her finger out and drew circles at the tank, and the fishes and shrimps started turning in the direction of her circles with her.

  Mag happened to look up and saw this scene. He could not help but feel surprised. That was way more incredible than dolphin training in aquariums. After all, dolphins had a very high IQ, and the dolphin trainers even used food as a reward over a long period to train them.

  However, Gina just squatted down, and those almost brainless fish and shrimp started moving according to her command with just a finger.

  Mag dazed off a little when he saw Gina’s clean smile. Such a pure smile would probably only appear on the face of someone who had only lived on the bottom of the ocean and had yet to experience much.

  Firis came in to help with the preparations and saw Gina, dressed in a sailor dress, squatting in front of the fish tank. She asked, “This is?”


  She had never seen this lady before. She did not look like a customer. Besides, customers were not allowed to enter the kitchen.

  It was only 6 am, and the restaurant was not even open.

  Could it be…… that she slept over in the restaurant last night? What’s her relationship with Mag? Firis’s gaze suddenly changed. Her dressing style was very peculiar. It did not look like something that she often saw. Mag probably prepared it for her.

  Then, her gaze landed on her chest. Suddenly, she felt defeated.

  What did she do! Why are hers so big! Meanwhile, mine……

  “Big Sister Bean Sprout, this is Big Sister Gina. She is a mermaid, but she can’t speak,” Amy said as she went over.

  When Gina heard her voice, she stood up and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

  She saw Firis’s sharp ears and her eyes lit up slightly. Another beautiful elf.

  However, she was a little curious too. If Amy was Mr. Mag’s daughter, then who is this elf? Could she be Mr. Mag’s wife? She looks even younger than me. Could it be that when she was even younger, Mr. Mag……

  Gina tried to curb her thoughts. From the looks of it, Mr. Mag was still a very refined man who made her feel very comfortable.

  “Hello,” Firis quickly replied with a nod.

  “Start preparing the ingredients for the Yangzhou fried rice first,” Mag said naturally when he saw Firis. Firis was now the main helper for ingredient preparations. Her talent and her knife skills made the preparation a lot easier, giving Mag more time and energy for other things.

  Very soon, Gina watched with her mouth open as various ingredients flew in the air, all cut into small, equal pieces and landing on different plates.

  Miya and the rest arrived at the restaurant successively. They were all shocked when they saw Gina.

  Babla, in particular, communicated with Gina passionately as they flailed their arms around, having felt as though she had met an old friend in a foreign land.

  Although the communication between them seemed like they were not on the same topic to Mag, that was not an obstacle for their passion. Even if they were just coming up with random topics, it made the conversation look as though they were best of friends.

  Of course, when Mag asked her later on, Babla herself had no idea what they talked about.

  In any case…… she was just super excited.

  Firis brought the breakfast that Mag had prepared out. Mag motioned to Gina, who was squatting back at the fish tank, playing with the fishes and shrimp, to eat as he said, “Come over for breakfast.”


  “Breakfast?” Gina watched Mag and thought for a while. She reached her hand into the fish tank, grabbed a fish, and put it in her mouth.

  “Wait!” Mag quickly stopped her and pulled that terrified fish out of her mouth and back into the tank. They are all fishes, why harm each other in such haste?

  He pointed outside, and said, “Not this, let’s go outside and have the breakfast I made.”


  When he saw Gina’s confused face, Mag pulled her up and out. This lady might have never seen cooked food before. However, such an eating method is too gory. It’s better to kick that habit.

  Even sashimi had to be cut. Besides, Sashimi was cut out from saltwater fish. If one were to eat freshwater fish like that, even a mermaid would have an upset tummy.

  Mag pulled Gina out from the kitchen and made her sit by the table. He stuffed a spoon in her hand and pointed at the plate of Yangzhou fried rice in front of her, implying that she should eat that.

  How pretty! Gina held the spoon a little awkwardly. She looked at the fried rice in front of her and her eyes lit up instantly, just like when she saw the rainbow occasionally from the bottom of the sea.

  Her mother the queen told her that before Lantisde sank, rainbows could often be seen in the sky after a rain.

  After Lantisde sank, they could only see rainbows occasionally when the ocean currents were strong. Those were the rare colors that could be seen from the bottom of the ocean.

  And the thing on this plate looked just like it had been made from a diced rainbow.

  Besides, what surprised her more was the aroma.

  She did not know how she should describe the fragrance, because she had never smelled something so aromatic in the underwater world. It felt as though there was a little claw pawing in her heart, making her swallow her saliva unconsciously.

  “Grooowl~”


  Gina’s face turned red. She had not eaten for two days—ever since she lost her water bottle in the desert. Now, with the trigger of the smell, her stomach protested uncontrollably.

  “Go on, use the spoon to put the rice into your mouth.” Mag picked his spoon up and demonstrated it to Gina. He put a spoonful of rice into his mouth and started chewing slowly.

  The others also started eating.

  So the people who live on land use silverware to eat? But won’t you only be able to taste the food at its freshest when you eat it raw? Gina found it quite novel. She held the spoon tightly in her right hand and copied what she saw, scooping up a spoonful of fried rice and putting it in her mouth.
