From a distance, it looked as if the lion had been spying on the Mermaid for a long time.
Following that, Su Yan instructed the tray,
"Go fetch another portion."
Her hoarse voice dropped, only to see the Mermaid gently shake her head, sighing,
"Never mind."
Su Yan looked up,
"What's wrong?"
The Mermaid lifted her head, looking frail,
"I'm injured and need a lot of food to replenish my strength."
He spoke obscurely.
But the meaning was clear.
One plate?
Not enough!
Su Yan stretched out her fleshy paw, struggling to count with her fingers,
"Two plates?"
The Little Mermaid stayed silent, head lowered.
"Five plates?"
The Mermaid still said nothing.
"Fifteen plates?"
The Mermaid slightly lifted her head, looking towards Su Yan.
Su Yan, fumbling with her fingers, finally lost count.
She scratched at her golden fur, very seriously,
"However much you need to eat, I'll prepare it for you."
