After the livestream ended, I didn't go offline and chatted with my fans.

When Chen Ze came back from work and saw the dishes on the table, he complained, "Why are we eating seaweed again today?"

"Your father-in-law personally went to the sea to catch it. Don't you want to eat it?"

He grumbled as he walked past me with a plate in his hand.

I didn't need to listen to know that he was complaining about my dad. He was upset that my dad had money to buy a luxury yacht and go out to sea but didn't want to invest in his business.

At this moment, a cute little comment popped up in the chat.

"Sister, does your fiancé have fish scales on his arm?"

The comment section was quiet for a full five seconds, and during those five seconds, I began to doubt if my internet connection was working.

Then, comments started flooding in at a rate of 500 per second.

"I saw it too."

"I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."

"Is that a tattoo?"

Amongst these comments, one comment caused the chat to explode again.

"Could it be that the nuclear wastewater in Sakura Country can really cause mutations in people?"

"The end of the world is coming. Panic.jpg."

At this time, there were still four million people watching the livestream.

I smiled and reassured my fans.

"Everyone, don't panic. It's just a tattoo. The official statement has already debunked the rumors that nuclear wastewater cannot cause human mutations. Please don't believe or spread rumors."

I ended the livestream and walked past Chen Ze, looking at the fish scales on his arm with disgust.

Last week, when he came back from a business trip, I made stewed seaweed and pork ribs. Not long after eating, he couldn't stop scratching his arm, and even though he scratched his skin raw, it didn't relieve the itch.

We thought it was an allergy, so we applied some allergy cream to ease the discomfort.

But the next day, scabs on the wound grew into a patch of green fish scales.

By the time we rushed to the hospital, there were already about ten scales.

When we asked the doctor what was happening, they only said it was a genetic mutation.

They performed a minimally invasive removal of the fish scales, prescribed a bunch of medications with instructions we couldn't understand, and made us sign a confidentiality agreement.

Today is the fifth day since Chen Ze started growing fish scales, and it's also the fifth year since the nuclear wastewater was discharged in Sakura Country.

When Sakura Country first started discharging nuclear wastewater, people did panic for a while. Supermarkets were crowded with people rushing to buy salt and purified water.

Later, the people in Sakura Country who were closest to the nuclear wastewater didn't experience any mutations, and various official sources came forward to debunk the rumors. People were urged to be rational, and the panic buying finally subsided.

The internet has no memory, and the idea that nuclear wastewater can cause mutations gradually faded from people's minds.

Before going back to the room, I reminded him, "Finish all the seaweed, and remember to take your medicine."

Chen Ze frowned and picked at the seaweed in his bowl.

"Who knows if it's because of eating this poisonous seaweed."

"Both my parents and I ate the seaweed and we're fine. If you ate something unclean somewhere, you should know it yourself."
