"That night, the boy and the Little Mermaid sat together quietly all night. The Little Mermaid gave him a beautiful seashell and kissed him on the lips, hoping he would forget her."
"Grandma had told her that a mermaid's kiss could make a person forget the memories that belonged to her."
Yu Qianqian's voice was somewhat choked up.
"Later… he really did forget her, forgot the memories that were theirs. She watched him as he stood on the deck holding the seashell she had given him, staring blankly as he and his parents left on the cruise ship. She watched quietly from not far away, until it became dark."
"Much later, she found out that she could turn into a human, that she could shed her tail. Without hesitation, she swam for half a month and finally reached the shore."
