Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Goodbye, Mermaid Sea
The excitement of the banquet did not end until the late night. The next morning, the castle where the guests rested was quiet and almost everyone slept until noon.
The gorgeous and elegant room was a little dim, and the heavy curtains blocked most of the bright sunlight outside the window. A breeze slipped in through the gap that was not closed tightly, gently touching the curtains, and warm light flashed on the eyelashes of the person who was sleeping on the bed with half of his face buried in the quilt, like a streak of starlight falling.
A bony hand gently stroked the young man's long eyelashes, the movement was extremely gentle.
Jing Miao woke up very early. After washing up, he sat back on the bed. He originally wanted to wake Lu Zhiluan up for breakfast, but seeing that he was sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake him up. He just stared at his sleeping face in a daze.
The habit he had maintained for many years told him that he should deal with things and get into work mode, but his body showed no sign of moving. The room was very quiet, and the light breathing sound was like the warm sunshine outside the window, which made people want to take a break from the busy work and feel lazy and comfortable.
Lu Zhiluan turned over in bed and noticed someone beside him. He looked up from a half-asleep state and saw a warm hand covering his forehead. The darkening shadow blocked his vision and he could only hear the man's deep voice: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Doctor Xiaolu was not fully conscious yet. He was very obedient at this time. He closed his eyes and threw himself into Zhou Gong's arms. I don't know what he was thinking about. He invited in a hoarse voice: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
The next second, the quilt was opened, and the cool air poured in, driving away the heat. Lu Zhiluan shivered, and soon fell into an even hotter embrace. Jing Miao said in a deep voice, "Let's sleep together."
The whole person was surrounded by a familiar breath, and a deep sleepiness came over him. Lu Zhiluan unconsciously rubbed his cheek against the man's elastic chest and fell into a deep sleep.
Jing Miao's breath suddenly sank, his eyes dimmed, and he remained motionless. After a long time, he slowly exhaled, rested his chin on Lu Zhiluan's head, and closed his eyes.
It was almost three in the afternoon when the two woke up again.
Dozens of missed calls and messages flashed on the computer. Many people thought something had happened to them and sent messages to greet them. If the biological monitoring robot in the room had not indicated that the data in the room was normal, Ganan's people would have almost broken in.
This is the first time in so many years that I haven't seen Admiral Jing in the whole morning. It's like the sun rising from the west and the moon being bigger than the stars.
Fortunately, the Admiral was just late.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Miao was called away by the Star Lord for something.
Lu Zhiluan sat in the living room and ate his first meal of the day.
Fang Yi and Zhang Mu sat opposite him and looked at him suspiciously, "We called so many times, but you didn't hear any of them?"
Lu Zhiluan swallowed the food in his mouth and explained, "I was sleeping too deeply, I really didn't hear it."
Fang Yi and Zhang Mu looked at each other, giving each other a knowing look that we both understood.
A strange laugh came out of his mouth, "Hehehe..."
Lu Zhiluan had a wooden face: “…” Don’t make up weird things in your mind.
Their relationship is still innocent.
He really didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply with someone by his side.
Jing Miao sent him back last night. It was too late and he was a little drunk at the time, so he asked Jing Miao to stay without thinking. He actually felt a little regretful after saying it, because he was worried that he might not have time to adapt to Jing Miao's presence and his unconscious resistance would cause misunderstanding to the other party.
In fact, they have done more intimate things before. It stands to reason that sleeping in the same bed is child's play, but liking someone makes you prone to anxiety and fear. Lu Zhiluan had no hesitation in sharing his own private space with Jing Miao, but he couldn't help worrying that he would feel uncomfortable if the last sense of boundaries he had maintained with others over the years was broken.
It was indeed a bit awkward at first, but it turned out that I had long been accustomed to Jing Miao's approach, or rather, I was looking forward to his approach.
The system that secretly watched the host's brain waves for a whole night had already been exhausted. It was obvious that the two of them were just sleeping under the quilt, and even the harmony protection was not triggered, but it felt that the air in the room exuded a faint sweet smell of brushed wire.
Hearing Fang Mu and the others teasing the host, the system couldn't help but join in the fun, "It's over, host, you've completely fallen in love!"
Lu Zhiluan: “…” You’re talking too much.
After dinner, the three of them set out together, led by their attendants, to look for Lian Xi. The little mermaid prince had promised yesterday that he would play the role of a good host and take them on a tour around the royal city.
At this time, Lian Xi was daydreaming in the magnificent main hall. All he could think about was where he was going to take Dr. Lu and the others to play. In his ears he could hear his brothers' endless arguments.
The king sat on the throne, looking left and right, hesitant to speak, unable to get a word in.
The dozen or so ministers below also looked disheartened.
The Fourth Prince slammed the table and stood up, saying in an impassioned tone: "Why did you choose me? I'm so useless. If I become the king, I will be looked down upon by other stars!"
The Second Prince grabbed a minister by the collar and threatened him, "Withdraw your vote and vote for the Fourth Prince instead, okay?"
The minister was also stubborn and would rather die than surrender: "I won't change. The Second Prince is a man of both civil and military talents. It's a pity that he doesn't become the king. Even if I turn into a fish and jump out of the sea to die in the sun, I will never change!"
Second Prince: "..."
After learning the truth that several princes were deliberately hiding their abilities, the ministers were first shocked, angry, and then ecstatic. Excluding the mere little princes, they still had seven capable candidates for king. Judging from the life span of mermaids, the vision of Luo Shuixing becoming bigger and stronger in the next few hundred years is just around the corner.
The ministers planned the development of Luo Shuixing for the next hundred years overnight and submitted it to the king's table. They suggested choosing a prince every once in a while to take over the king's daily work. They should all do an internship first, and after they get the hang of it, they can take turns or change the position when the king retires normally. In short, they must not let go of these seven cunning little fish children who have made them fool around.
So we have this scene before our eyes.
The first one to be swept up was naturally the Fourth Prince of the Hexagonal Warriors.
Knowing that they could not escape the right of succession, the princes began to fight in another direction, that is, none of them wanted to be the first trainee king.
The Fourth Prince looked at the King firmly and said, "Father, why don't we let Xiaoxi come? He is an adult now, so we can use this as training before going ashore."
Lian Xi was distracted and suddenly heard her own name. She didn't know what it was and answered subconsciously, "Okay, okay."
The ministers raised their hands to Erkang and objected in all aspects: "The little prince is still young, and he has to go to college, so naturally his studies should be the priority."
Fourth Prince: "..."
As expected, the Minister of King Juan and the Princes of Salted Fish started arguing again.
The king shook his head helplessly and silently did not participate, leaving the space to them, his back looking a little sad as he left.
When Lu Zhiluan and his companions arrived, the fighting in the main hall was in full swing.
As soon as Dr. Xiaolu appeared, he was bombarded with dozens of complicated looks.
Lian Xi rushed over happily: "Doctor Lu!"
Lu Zhiluan didn't expect there were so many people inside. They were obviously discussing something. The three people standing at the door paused and slowly backed away. Fang Yi quickly bowed and apologized: "Sorry to bother you. We didn't know you were busy. Please continue."
Lian Xi trotted over to stop him, "It's okay, they are just arguing, let's ignore them. Come on, I'll take you to the undersea tunnel to play." After saying that, he left with the three of them without looking back.
The most carefree person in the world left, and the remaining salt fish and curling kings looked at each other: Still arguing?
After a while, both sides tacitly stopped the discussion and adjourned the meeting.
Unable to resist Lian Xi's invitation, Lu Zhiluan and his friends stayed in Luoshui Star for a week longer than originally planned. They experienced all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment, and even visited the underwater palace.
Time flies, and it's time to say goodbye.
Lian Xi reluctantly sent the three of them to the return cruise ship, her eyes reddened: "Goodbye, I'll come visit you guys after I go to school."
Lu Zhiluan patted his shoulder and said softly, "Go back."
Fang Yi also comforted him: "It's okay, we will see each other again soon."
The cruise ship slowly left the port, and the people on the shore became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared on the blue sea.
The return trip also requires three days and two nights in the Mermaid Sea. The Yuanda cruise ship they took at the beginning had left a week ago. This cruise ship is an ordinary cruise ship of Luo Shuixing, not as big as the previous one. Most of the passengers are ordinary human citizens living on the land around the Mermaid Sea. There are not many people on this trip, only a few dozen people.
The king originally planned to prepare a luxury cruise ship just for them, but Lu Zhiluan refused.
The Star Lord had returned safely to Canaan a week ago under the escort of Zhuo Lan and the guards.
Therefore, there were only four of them going back this time, him, Jing Miao, Fang Yi and Zhang Mu, so there was really no need to mobilize a large force.
On the first night on the cruise, the stars were hanging low in the sky and the breeze was blowing from the sea. The four of us sat in the restaurant on the second floor to have dinner and admired the sky outside through the transparent glass windows.
Fang Yi looked at the pitch-black sea and wondered, "Strange, why are there no schools of glowing fish coming out to dance tonight?"
Zhang Mu didn't take it seriously, picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, saying, "Maybe there is none in this sea area."
Jing Miao stared at the pitch-black sea with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground echoed in the quiet restaurant. Passengers who were having meals turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound curiously.
The small box that Lu Zhiluan had placed on the table was accidentally knocked over by someone passing by, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor. A few round beads collided on the smooth floor, making a series of tinkling sounds.
The man quickly apologized to Lu Zhiluan, picked up the beads on the ground and handed them to him, saying guiltily: "I'm really sorry, I didn't notice it. Look, the things are not broken, they look very valuable."
Lu Zhiluan put the beads away and shook his head: "No."
The man still felt bad and took out a business card from his pocket and put it on the table: "Here is my contact information. If there is any loss that needs compensation in the future, please contact me. I am really sorry."
Looking at the man's departing back, a dark light flashed in Jing Miao's eyes.
Fang Yi asked concernedly, "Are you okay, Doctor Lu?"
Lu Zhiluan: “Nothing.”
Zhang Mu: "But what's in that small box? Was it given by the young prince? I think I saw him holding it today."
Lu Zhiluan nodded: "They are a few deep sea glass pearls. Lian Xi said they are small gifts. They are said to glow at night and look very beautiful."
Zhang Mu: "Come to think of it, the little prince seems to like some beautiful rocks. The whole wall of his room under the sea is covered with them."
Fang Yi also agreed: "Yes, but those stones look quite valuable, they are not precious gems, are they?"
After hearing this, Zhang Mu also had some doubts: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
As he spoke, he had already turned on the computer and scanned the beads in the small box.
“What the hell!”
Zhang Mu stared at the words on the screen in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
Fang Yi: What's wrong? What's wrong?
He leaned over to take a look, and his expression was also dull.
Lu Zhiluan:?
What is this wonderful freeze-frame magic?
Zhang Mu held his jaw which had dropped in shock and said to Lu Zhiluan in a low voice: "Doctor Lu, please put these away quickly. These are valuable items. An ordinary one can be sold for tens of millions of star coins. The quality of the ones in your hand is at least this much!" He made a gesture that defied the heavens.
Lu Zhiluan was shocked...
