Stop Thinking Chapter 30: Fat Fish

Chapter 30: Fat Fish

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

In the early years of baby Ruan Yu’s life, he used to sleep with Gu Xiuhan, and he slept soundly and solidly every night.

Gu Xiuhan normally used his left arm to gather the little Ruan Yu before going to bed, using his relaxed biceps to give the little Ruan Yu a pillow, and then wrapped his forearm around the tail of the fish, to provide a solid sense of security by circling the soft little fat fish.

Most mermaids habitually curl up and hug their own tails when they sleep, like human cuddling pillows.

But baby Ruan Yu’s tail was too short and too round to curl up, so little Ruan Yu tilted his tail halfway up and clutched his tail fin with his pudgy hands instead of holding it.

For a while, little Ruan Yu would secretly put the tip of his tail fin in his mouth while he slept and ground it with his incisors, like a Homo sapiens toddler sucking his thumb.

As the tail fin gradually showed signs of baldness from the teeth, the researchers agreed that this was a bad habit for the young fish that needed to be corrected.

The mermaid’s tail fin could grow back, but it was slow to recover, and it would take a long time for it to become completely bald.

That’s why when Gu Xiuhan saw it every time, despite the little Ruan Yu’s annoyed “babbling”, he pinched the little fleshy nose, pulling the saliva-covered tip of the tail fin out of his mouth while he opened it for air.

Gu Xiuhan didn’t care about sleeping, he could regain energy efficiently even lying in mud, and had always been a good sleeper, basically didn’t even turn over during a night, so the pose he was in before he went to sleep, was the same as when he woke up.

Scurrying all over the bed to perform sleep acrobatics, slobbering and even urinating all over Gu Xiuhan, the troublemaker was little Ruan Yu.

First of all, the fishtail was picked up by Gu Xiuhan as soon as it turned out, with a possessive gesture, he pulled Ruan Yu into his arms, and Ruan Yu himself did not have to hold it.

The cold silk-like cool and smooth touch and luster, silvery white and light pink scales, like a stream flowing freely in the palm.

Because the scales were cool, Gu Xiuhan’s palm seemed extra hot. Ruan Yu blushed, pursed his lips, and squirmed.

The smoky and light fin veil grew near the tail fin, thin and transparent, the visual effect was a bit like a trailing skirt, shaking and trembling along with Ruan Yu’s twisting, rustling.

Gu Xiuhan couldn’t help but glance sideways, lifting a piece of fin veil, full of intoxication and eagerly placed it against the end of his nose, his dark eyes also raised upward, with razor-sharp glance over the tip of Ruan Yu’s silvery-pink tail fin that was raised high, with unknown meaning.

Because Gu Xiuhan had a stern and handsome face, it was unthinkable how he could do something similar to lifting the hem of his lover’s skirt to cover his face and sniffing obsessively.

But he did it, and he did it with pleasure.

Ruan Yu’s face exploded red, but he promised Gu Xiuhan that he would learn to accept it. Sniffing the fins did not seem to be too much, after all, the only purpose of these flashy fins was to be beautiful and to tempt males during their courtship period, so it was a good use of them…

Ruan Yu tried to hold back. And this strong contrast made Ruan Yu feel that Gu Xiuhan was really like what he said before. He felt not only like, but was also infatuated. It made Ruan Yu’s heart sour and hot.

But when the day dawned, Ruan Yu was sleepy and wanted to pick up his tail to sleep, Gu Xiuhan still did not intend to return it.

“Can you give me a little bit of it…”

Ruan Yu went up to Gu Xiuhan’s arms to take out his tail.

This was not the first day they fell in love with each other, it was simply an old married couple who grabbed each other’s blankets in the middle of the night.

After the tail was easily snatched back, Ruan Yu was satisfied. He put his forehead against Gu Xiuhan’s forehead and slept face-to-face intimately.

The most sensitive tail fin suddenly burst into a shower of sparkling itch and crispness, causing Ruan Yu’s whole fish to shiver and open his eyes in dismay.

Gu Xiuhan was looking down, holding the silvery-pink tip at the end of the tail fin.

Ruan Yu’s tail fin was separated from the middle into two pieces, showing a full and smooth leaf shape, the end was very pointed, but also with a little inward hook of the small curve, thin and tough, really cute.

Gu Xiuhan could not even say that it was cute.

But the end of the tail was the first densest place for the mermaid’s nerve, so when someone holds and squeezes it, how can one stand it?

“Mn…”

Ruan Yu uttered, fluttering like a small fish on the cutting board to avoid the knife, hurriedly snatched the tail fin from the two thin lips, and  wiped the fluid on Gu Xiuhan pajamas with panic, “Gu Xiuhan, how old you are still learn not to sleep with the tip of the tail, ah? When I was a child, you did not allow me to hold my tail, how come you are now taking the lead in this… “

Furthermore, mermaids should hold the tip of their own tail fins, it would be crazy to have someone else hold it!

Although humans do not have tail fins, only toes, and also can not bend up, they are indeed pitiful …

But it’s not allowed either!

“Sorry.”

Gu Xiuhan’s eyes were averted and explained, “You told me not to hold back if I had a need.”

“That’s what I need.”

[What Ruan Ruan promised.]

[Be true to your word.]

Ruan Yu, “…”

What happened to Gu Xiuhan, who seemed to be quite reasonable?

Ruan Yu was confused, looked down and thought for a while, cupped the tip of his tail fin and slowly handed it to Gu Xiuhan’s lips, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, “I’ll give you five more minutes, I’m, I’m so sleepy, I want to sleep…”

Ruan Yu was such a contradictory little fish.

When faced with Gu Xiuhan’s out-of-the-ordinary demands, he was shy as if a poke could make him cry out pearls, but also did not throw deterrent tantrums.

But once the “reasonable needs of the spouse” hat was out, he would be frozen on the spot, and then confused, trembling, holding the tail to meet the initiative, blushing to let the spouse hold it to his satisfaction.

As a result, Ruan Yu was bullied by Gu Xiuhan because the tail fin nerves were so dense that he couldn’t even cry.

But even then he didn’t lose his temper, he just buried his innocent but flushed face in the goose down pillow and grunted like he was being bullied.

…

After this happened a dozen times in a row over several days, Ruan Yu began to worry that the tail fins would be worn bald by Gu Xiuhan’s mouth.

As soon as the iron tree blossomed, Gu Xiuhan seemed to have started some strange period of oral desire. Except for work time, he would pester Ruan Yu every day, tireless like a perpetual motion machine.

This time Ruan Yu would always obediently hand his tail to Gu Xiuhan, but the number of times really overwhelmed him, and even unprecedentedly felt that he was too playful – although he was the one being played …it was also very demoralizing!

Gu Xiuhan was so addicted to sucking fish that Ruan Yu felt that he had already been deflated by him, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would become a small air-dried fish filet.

This led to Ruan Yu’s not-so-strong career aspirations being aroused!

In other words, Ruan Yu wanted to find something to do before school started and balance his career to counterbalance his overly intense relationship with Gu Xiuhan.

Besides…

Ruan Yu thought vaguely that the interracial relationship encyclopedia that Lin Hui had forwarded to him said that the important thing in a relationship was a high level of spiritual pursuit that transcended the low level of fun, not just a primitive, instinctive physical relationship.

As if he hadn’t seen the section devoted to the beauty of “sex”.

If Lin Hui knew that Ruan Yu’s focus was skewed here…

Then she will probably no longer dare to face Admiral Gu’s cold, frosty eyes.

She was just a cp fan who was trying to imply to Ruan Yu that “interracial love is a good thing”.

With this in mind, Ruan Yu put the project that he had planned to carry out back on the capital star on the agenda in advance, and searched for several patients at the base who had suffered serious damage to their mental bodies like Qin Yue and were willing to try the new treatment, and carried out the treatment according to the new plan given by the research institute.

In the last two months, Ruan Yu experienced lower limb differentiation and courtship fever, and the full maturity of his body made his mental energy increase dramatically, which was quite valuable for the research institute.

Ruan Yu also cooperated and kept recording his values, regularly sampling his voice and mental fluctuations with special equipment and sending them back to the research institute.

It was certain that Ruan Yu’s spiritual healing ability had increased significantly, and the research institute did not find any adverse reactions after conducting a series of tests.

Ruan Yu’s improved ability was not only reflected in the better healing effect on the subject, but also in the expansion of the healing range – even if the healing songs were not tailored for a particular patient, they could still produce various positive effects to some extent. This suggested that the originally hard-to-find mermaid songs might bring help to more patients suffering from mental illness.

It could help many, many people like Gu Xiuhan in the past.

This included many soldiers who suffered mental damage during the war with the alien species.

Ruan Yu was so energized by the thought of this that his fishtail shook with the sound of breaking wind.

After collecting enough healing data, the research institute sent several samples of the healing holographic spheres to the Energy Star, meaning that Ruan Yu could see the effects and, if he wished, they could be mass-produced later.

The healing holographic spheres not only had images, but also could perfectly record and reproduce the sound waves and spiritual fluctuations emitted by Ruan Yu, which was a completely different concept from simply playing videos with a terminal.

These samples were basically the same as the holographic spheres that Ruan Yu had given to Gu Xiuhan, a small one with a metal shell and a stand that pops out from the back of the sphere.

However, this batch of samples was made into a round, fat, short fish tail shape, bending a bit of effort, the tail fin was decorated with a few pieces of fin yarn as big as a fingernail. The internal material of the bracket had a certain hardness to support the weight of the sphere, but the surface was wrapped in another material. Squeezing it had the same soft feeling as if it was Ruan Yu’s baby form. 

Perhaps in order to keep the fragile baby Ruan Yu in the ever-changing marine environment to maintain a constant temperature, the little fish baby’s tail was fleshy with a thick layer of fat. It wasn’t until he was seven or eight years old before it gradually drew a strip and became a long, slender, streamlined fish tail that was easy to swim with.

If someone could open a mermaid nursery, there would be a pool full of short, fat tails.

Although this was the truth, Ruan Yu grew up to look back at his baby period … There was still a little embarrassment.

Ruan Yu, who received the sample, “…” His face flushed red.

What was the product design department of the research institute thinking?

Ruan Yu wasn’t sure if he wanted to ask someone to try the effect of these fishtail-shaped healing spheres, because he somehow felt that it was a bit narcissistic, but thinking that the start of school was near and he was going home soon, he simply gave them to his new friends, including Lin Hui, as a small gift before saying goodbye.

This holographic sphere had several function gears. For ordinary people, the mermaid lullaby could make creatures fall asleep quickly and the mental fluctuations that help people improve their concentration and keep their minds awake, among other functions, were very practical.

However…

The day after Ruan Yu gave out these small gifts, the base staff and engineers became restless.

For no other reason than the gluttonous holographic ball.

After all, it was a gift from the mermaid royalty, and some of those who received it couldn’t resist the urge to show off and recorded the healing holographic sphere and posted the results on the base’s internal communication network.

The stereoscopic image shown by this healing hologram was not Ruan Yu’s adult appearance, and technically not even Ruan Yu.

It was a cartoon model of Ruan Yu’s young mermaid form with a pink and silver tail, built through a series of algorithms based on the images of Ruan Yu’s early childhood.

The cartoon image inevitably had some abstraction and exaggerated processing, so the constructed fish baby model was more round and shorter than the actual one, and the ball was simply a small fish ball. The facial features of the fish ball were very similar to Ruan Yu, and those who had seen Ruan Yu’s fish form in the energy base could guess that the model of the cartoon mermaid was him.

The stereoscopic image turned off most of the interactive rights, only with the eyes, in order to assist and promote healing at the visual level.

When tuned to the spiritual healing gear, the beam of light would coalesce in the middle of the air without obstacles, a fat little ball of fish.

The cartoon fish ball would swim twice in mid-air before pulling out a cloudy white jellyfish pillow from the void, cocking its short tail and clutching its tail fin to sleep.

Spiritual ripples that couldn’t be captured by the naked eye slowly rippled out with the little fish ball as the center of the circle, enveloping all the carbon-based creatures within visual range in a joyful and serene spiritual atmosphere.

“Wow, this feeling of spiritual appeasement is really… It’s so comfortable that I don’t know how to describe it, it’s like the spiritual body is soaking inside a hot spring…”

The person who recorded the video couldn’t help but describe his feelings.

The sleeping little fish ball was humming a healing tune with its eyes closed.

The effect was much weaker than the holographic ball if you just listened to the mermaid song with the terminal, and you can’t talk about any healing meaning anymore, but you can be affected by some emotions. In the indistinct silky mermaid song, the surface of the spiritual body of living beings would comfortably stretch out, fluffy and soft like warm cotton.

In addition to the song, there was the white noise of a small fish ball “boop boop boop” regularly spitting water bubbles, like a cat snoring in its sleep.

Not to mention the people who really need to heal, even if the mental body was completely healthy, people could be extremely comfortable because of this holographic ball.

The internal communication network of the base… exploded. The pop-up screen was full of goo at the speed of light.

[This fish baby was drawn after Ruan Ruan when he was a child, wasn’t it? This round little milk fish will be sucked up by this mommy!]

[How can a small round face and small fleshy hands be so cute!]

[The stand is actually a soft fish tail? Where is the purchase link? For this tail I also want to rush ten!]

[This song is very comfortable just listening with the terminal, I really have been cured so I have to say, thank you little fat fish.]

[This is the holographic ball that the SSS-level genetic tough guy should have!]

[So where do I have to buy it? Please, I really need it.]

[This holographic ball is seriously malfunctioning, it has fish growing on it, send it to me for free to help you breathe… I’m a class A mechanical technician, how can I swindle you?]

Ruan Yu’s face slowly reddened when he came to see the video, “…”

It’s true that he didn’t tell the other party not to take pictures and send them to Starnet or something when he gave the gift.

The video was sent, so it was sent.

The main thing was why were all the pop-ups… saying he’s fat, round and fleshy?

When he was a child, his tail was not so round and fat, this animated image was more or less abstract so … it was a little bit off.

[Buy link, please send.]

[Fat fish, I also want.]

[Cute, like a ball.]

There were also many apparent language ability anxious gung-ho pop-ups, probably sent by  the aborigines of the energy star.

[Unfortunately, the three-dimensional image can not interact with only watched, oooh, can only pinch the fish baby little fat face in the dream!]

[Is the fat boy fish, Ruan Ruan is the fat boy fish well woo woo woo!]

[Seen the original said that although the small fish is an adult mermaid, but the face is still left with a drop of baby fat, poof, it is estimated to reduce, really explosively cute!]

After coming to the base, he had been praised by various moms and sisters, and although the surface was calm, his tail had long been secretly cocked to the sky.

He suffered a loss in the face plate that was too small, cheeks so thin, only a layer of soft flesh not completely receded, like milk jelly.

If the face plate was bigger, the little meat would have been evenly distributed.

“…”

Ruan Yu pursed his lips, a little bit of tender flesh on his cheeks bulged slightly because of the force and became obvious.

There is no one to control the pop-up screen…

How could it be that the highest officer of the base is the one who doesn’t care about anything?
