The Fish is Still Alive

"It likes to eat human food," Wen Xuan said, resting his chin on his hand. "Oh, it might be because it's interested in the shape of human food!" The sales manager's face broke into a smile. "Some fish are like that; they prefer specific shapes and colors of food. We just received some new products. Would In order to show its "affection" for its master, the little yellow fish sampled a couple of bites. Yuck! As always, it tastes terrible. I must guard this territory; otherwise, what if Wen Qingwa stops feeding me human food in the future? ╮(╯▽╰)╭ The sales manager watched eagerly, and after much effort, he finally saw the little fish swallow a fish pellet he strongly recommended. But in no time, it spit it out again, leaving him feeling helpless. Why is this hybrid fish so picky?! He persistently recommended several kinds of very expensive fish feed, which even the imperial carps loved. Spit. Spit, spit. Spit, spit, spit. After trying various luxurious fish feeds without success, the little yellow fish wagged its tail, showing it was a bit tired. Taking a nap regularly is a good habit. It’s not really good to sleep in public, but a short rest should be understandable. The sales manager's eyes instantly widened in shock as the fish flipped onto its back… Did he just kill this fish?!! OMG! This is not scientific. He cautiously observed the man's expression, and at the slightest hint of trouble, he immediately stuffed the entire bag of fish food into his mouth! He had to prove that these goods were non-toxic! The staff stared, dumbfounded, at the little yellow fish lying belly-up, then turned to look sympathetically at the poor old man. So, feeding fish really is a skill! Wen Xuan was also a bit nervous at first, wondering if the fish was choking, but after carefully observing the movement of the fish's gills, he finally relaxed. It seemed the little fish was just asleep. “Wen, Mr. Wen,” the sales manager stammered, seeing the man’s emotionless face, knowing this was the calm before the storm. “What we have is…” As he spoke, he fumbled to stuff some fish feed into his own mouth. “...It's just sleeping.” Wen Xuan noticed how nervous the other person seemed, and he looked like he had a strange eating habit. The staff collectively blinked in confusion. Sleeping? A fish that’s flipped over is just sleeping?! They all turned their eyes toward the poor old man in unison. This premium, non-toxic, organic food was so good that no one would hesitate to take it home for dinner, especially if it were braised. But the taste… The sales manager swallowed the mouthful of fish feed he had accidentally bitten into out of shock; he couldn’t believe this — that fish… was still alive? Perhaps it was just a feeling, but the little yellow fish squinted its eyes and rolled over repeatedly, unable to fall asleep. After a few minutes, it lazily opened its fishy eyes, swayed its tail, and pushed away the annoying fish pellets floating in front of it. The staff watched as the fish rolled around a few times before starting to swim back and forth confidently, just like that… But why did the sales manager’s face look so bad? In the end, Wen Xuan bought some of the newly released high-quality fish feeds, thinking that the little fish might not be hungry right now, and he could try feeding it some later in the evening, as this food would provide more balanced nutrition. The water in the fish’s container was replaced with fresh water, and the shell was carefully cleaned and maintained. After meticulous care of its scales, the little yellow fish was cautiously placed back in. After paying, the man re-hung the water container around his neck and noticed that the little yellow fish was slightly squinting its eyes. Although it was hard to read the expression on a fish's face, Wen Xuan couldn't shake the feeling that it looked quite content now. It was as if it were enjoying a luxurious spa experience, truly relaxing and soaring high… Soaring. Soaring. Soaring.
