The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Die

Chapter 53

Yu Ze couldn't decide, "What does Admiral Audeux mean, does he approve of me going?"

Leon nodded, "Ketuo Planet people's impressions of mermaids are from legends, biased or established impressions, and so are many people in the military hierarchy. Spending time with real mermaids is more likely to change their perceptions and help gain their support when submitting regulations for mermaid protection."

Yu Ze thought for a moment and felt that Leon had a point. People were afraid of the unknown, and now the online comments were much friendlier to mermaids, but there were still people who were afraid of mermaid abilities and worried that mermaids fed on human mental power.

"When does the dinner party start? Should I make any preparations?" He asked.

Leon said, "7:30 p.m. I'll prepare the clothes, you get more rest."

At 6:30 p.m., Leon and Yu Ze ate dinner at the villa, then changed their clothes and organized their image, and left at 7:10 p.m., arriving at Bevin's house before the dinner started.

As soon as they walked into the banquet hall, all eyes fell on them. Leon was worried about Yu Ze's fear and shook his hand as a sign of reassurance.

Yu Ze smiled and said he was fine.

The two greeted their hosts first, then went to find Admiral and Mrs. Audeux. Madame Audeux pulled Yu Ze and kept complimenting him, "Ze Ze is so pretty."

Yu Ze was wearing a white suit and looked like a little prince, he smiled a little sheepishly and complimented the other back.

Soon after, someone came up to greet him, and after saying some polite words, he couldn't help but look at Yu Ze, "You're a mermaid?"

Yu Ze nodded openly and smiled politely, "Yes, hello."

The people who were watching the movement next to him froze, thinking that he looked too much like a human, not at all like the mermaid they remembered, and couldn't help but try to find something different in him.

Madame Audeux took Yu Ze to meet a lot of people, many of whom were family members of Admiral Holet's former subordinates. They were all very nice to Yu Ze, but there was inevitably surprise in their eyes, and after talking about him, they were very fond of the well-behaved Yu Ze, especially when they thought about his background, the aunts could not help but feel compassion.

Yu Ze was pulled by Madame Audeux for the first dance, and Leon was ready to snatch him up at the end, but one of the aunties stole him first.

After the dance, Leon quickly walked up to Yu Ze and picked him up. Leon grabbed Yu Ze and walked out, "Are your feet tired?"

Yu Ze shook his head, "No," when a new song started, Yu Ze tugged Leon's sleeve, "Want to dance one?"

Leon once again confirmed to him that his feet were fine, so he swept the man onto the dance floor and danced.

The two of them were so close to each other that Yu Ze whispered, "How did I do?"

Leon said, "Very good," he seemed to feel that the words were too perfunctory and added, "very pleasing."

Both the person in question, Yu Ze, and the perceptive Leon were aware of the eyes that had been falling on Yu Ze. Both were calm, knowing before they arrived that being gawked at was essential.

Leon originally worried that Yu Ze would be nervous, but did not expect Yu Ze to be very calm. Yu Ze's attitude was natural and extraordinarily affable, not at all stiff and stereotypical, giving a look at his real character.

If one didn't think about it deliberately, they may even think that he was a good boy next door, a young man with a gentle personality, not at all associated with the siren called mermaid. Yu Ze smiled, very happy. Tonight's main task was to let everyone meet him, change the established impression of mermaids, let everyone know that mermaids were not terrible, and could live in peace with humans.
