Chapter 13 Chapter 13

The shaky door lock finally couldn't hold up and fell with a "click" at Wen Ming's feet.

Mu Mu's breathing froze for a moment.

How about confessing to the master?

"Ah..."

'Child, don't reveal your ability...'

Mu Mu's mouth opened and closed a few times, and finally turned into a long yawn.

It then closed its eyes and buried its head in Wen Ming's neck...

Mu Mu's best skill was playing dumb, which was its worst skill in Wen Ming's eyes.

Wen Ming stared at it for a few seconds, and finally stepped over the door lock and walked towards the mermaid room.

His embrace was swaying, warm and comfortable, and Mu Mu's pretended sleepiness became real.

Before being put into the mermaid pool, it felt Wen Ming's chest vibration:

"Good night."

...

Wen Ming noticed the fleeting changes in Mu Mu's body during the mermaid competition, and today that change happened again...

Mu Mu has a secret.

"A secret that you don't want me to know..."

Wen Ming returned to the door of the room and picked up the housekeeper: "Call up the video."

"Ding!" The machine projected on the wall and played the picture recorded by the camera -

the housekeeper chased Mu Mu to the outside of Wen Ming's room, stretched out the mechanical arm to grab it, and then Mu Mu slapped it with its tail, the machine fell to the ground, and the recording object also turned to the ceiling.

"Ding ding!" The housekeeper kept flashing a red alarm light, "There is an unknown risk in the house. Do you want to call the police for investigation?"

"No."

Wen Ming repeatedly looked back at the part where Mu Mu's tail whipped over, and his tone was calm:

"Release Mu Mu's authority at home. Let it do whatever it wants."

"Ding ding, which authority should be given to the mermaid Mu Mu?"

"All."

*

Mu Mu soon discovered that the housekeeper no longer cared about him.

In the past, if he jumped a few times in the water, the housekeeper would nag and call the police.

But now, even if he leaves the mermaid room, the housekeeper only chases after the fish's tail and quietly mops the floor.

"Last time I accidentally cut off its mechanical arm. Is it afraid of me and dare not talk nonsense again?"

Mu Mu lay on his back on the water and smiled.

You can unlock the new map of the house!

But it is a polite mermaid. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not make the house wet.

"Hey, when will the master get off work..."

In the evening, Mu Mu's ears twitched. When he heard the door open, his tail slapped the water excitedly:

"Ah--" Master, come quickly!

The movement from the mermaid room was too urgent. Wen Ming casually threw his coat that he had just taken off and rushed over to check on the mermaid.

Mu Mu shook the water off his hair and raised his hands, like a child signing up for a spring outing:

"Huh!" I'm ready!

Wen Ming rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on Mu Mu's waist, and carried it to the wall of the pool.

After applying a moisturizing film to the fish tail, Wen Ming pointed his finger at Mu Mu's shoulder: "Don't move, wait for me a while."

Mu Mu sat on the wall of the pool, his tail drooping naturally, shaking impatiently.

Wen Ming brought a small blanket with delicate shell embroidery on it.

Wen Ming carefully dried Mu Mu's upper body: "It's done."

Mu Mu shouted happily and jumped to the ground. When Wen Ming folded the small blanket and put it by the pool, Mu Mu disappeared. Wen Ming unbuttoned

his shirt, walked around Mu Mu who was having fun, and went into the bathroom.

He had just closed the bathroom door when Mu Mu pushed it open, holding his suit jacket that was draped over the back of the chair in her hand:

"Oh!" Put on something, don't freeze to death!

Wen Ming, who was getting ready to take a bath: ...

Mu Mu was still worriedly persuading him:

"Oh..." You don't know how fragile you are. Last time I participated in a competition, I wasn't paying attention and you almost died. I have to take care of you all the time.

I worry too much about this family, you have to be obedient.

Wen Ming: "..."

Wen Ming: "Thank you, Mu Mu."

Mu Mu forced his clothes on Wen Ming, squeezed into the bathroom, and explored the new map.

It opened the toilet lid and tilted its head to think:

"Oh?" What is such a small fish tank used for? Mermaid babies?

Wen Ming said seriously: "Mu Mu, you can't go in."

"Tsk." I don't want such a small fish tank.

Mu Mu closed the toilet lid in disgust and jumped into the bathtub:

"Oh!" This size is about the same!

It stretched out its tail and just covered the bathing sensor, and the water outlet splashed water on its face.

Mu Mu jumped up like a fish, bit the water outlet, and wanted to fight it to the death...

Wen Ming slapped Mu Mu's head twice as a punishment, and the little mermaid opened her mouth and pointed at the water outlet to complain.

Then Wen Ming demonstrated it again.

"Oh~" Mu Mu started to play with its tail in the sensing area.

Its interest came and went quickly.

While Wen Ming was brushing his teeth, Mu Mu had already abandoned the bathtub and lay down beside the sink, observing his brushing movements.

"Huh?" Is this a snack bar for humans? Why can't you chew it for so long?

When Wen Ming put the clean toothbrush back in place, Mu Mu secretly took it away:

"Ah!" Your teeth are not good, I'll help you chew it!

It bit the toothbrush. It was not as crispy as the dried fish, but it didn't bother it.

With a "crunch", the toothbrush was sacrificed magnificently.

Mu Mu handed the remaining half to Wen Ming, mumbling:

"Woo (chew chew) Aoao (chew chew)..."

Here, eat it, I'll help you chew it off.

Wen Ming noticed it then, snatched the toothbrush, and skillfully clamped the mermaid's chin:

"Open your mouth."

As soon as he did this, Mu Mu knew that he couldn't eat it.

It spit out the things in its mouth obediently:

"Woo..." Human snack sticks have no taste at all, so disgusting.

"Don't move." Wen Ming put his finger on the mermaid's upper jaw to check if its mouth was pierced by the toothbrush.

Mu Mu's mouth was still moving: "Ah." Don't worry, I won't steal your food, just eat it!

"If you eat anything wrong again, you can only stay in the mermaid pool."

Mu Mu curled up like a punctured balloon, holding his tail in grievance:

"..." Who needs such a disgusting snack bar, the owner is so fierce.

While scolding, a dried fish was stuffed into its hand.

"Aren't you hungry?" Wen Ming looked down at it, "Eat it."

The little mermaid chewing the dried fish finally stopped making trouble.

Wen Ming carried it out of the bathroom, and put some time-consuming teething snacks next to it, watching it eat with relish.

It's so confusing...

Fortunately, the food can make it behave, otherwise with its curiosity, it can turn the bathroom upside down.

Wen Ming readjusted the household permissions given to Mu Mu-

turning off its permission to use open flames in the kitchen and prohibiting it from approaching power sources or medicines.

Wen Ming scanned the remaining permissions, hesitated for a moment, and sent a light brain message to Xiao Jun:

"Which family permissions have you closed for your daughter?"

...

Mu Mu finished eating the snacks and touched his stomach with an unsatisfied look.

It consumes more energy to change its form. In the past, it could be satisfied with these snacks, but now it can have mermaid food as a midnight snack.

"Can the owner afford to keep mermaids if I eat so much?"

Mu Mu's facial features wrinkled with worry: "Can the mermaid competition be held again..."

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Wen Ming pushed the door out with only a bath towel around his neck, his upper body naked, and full of water vapor.

Mu Mu looked over at first glance and thought it was a white fishtail.

"Oh!" I like this outfit of yours, it's much better than the clothes you wear when going out!

Mu Mu jumped onto him and flicked its tail a few times. Wen Ming had no choice but to hug it helplessly.

"Ah~"

The shape of your muscles here is different from mine.

The color here is different from mine.

And here...

Mu Mu touched from top to bottom, until he reached the waist and abdomen. Among the clear muscle contours, there was a hideous scar.

"Huh?" Has the wound healed?

Mu Mu placed his palm on the scar, closed his eyes, and activated his drainage ability.

It only knows this one treatment method.

The restless little mermaid slid down a little, and Wen Ming lifted his arm and held it firmly:

"Mu Mu, no drainage is needed."

The little mermaid was very obsessed with the wound, touching it over and over again, and looking up at his expression from time to time.

"It doesn't hurt." Wen Ming understood what it meant, "This was left on the battlefield before."

Mu Mu waved its claws at the air fiercely, wishing to avenge him now.

Wen Ming was silent for a few seconds: "It's not the Zerg. I hurt myself when I was about to riot, and since then I have become a broken spiritual sea."

"Ah..." How come you always almost die in places I don't know?

Mu Mu drooped his shoulders and continued to touch down, looking for other wounds.

The bath towel blocked the way of its fingers and was opened a slit...

"Mu Mu." Wen Ming's arms tightened abruptly, "You can't touch down anymore."

Mu Mu blinked and stared at him dejectedly.

"...Really not."

Wen Ming walked into the mermaid room and put it back into the water.

Mu Mu tore off the moisturizing film on the fish tail, grabbed one of Wen Ming's hands, and put it on his own tail:

"Oh." You touched me, it's my turn to touch you, we're even!

As he said that, he reached for the bath towel.

Wen Ming's big hand forcefully clamped the hand that was touching him randomly: "Humans are different from mermaids. There is no scales to protect the bottom, so it is very fragile."

Mu Mu retracted his hand and found the scar repair ointment from a pile of mermaid supplies by the pool.

It patted the edge of the pool and motioned Wen Ming to lie down:

"Oh." I'll rub it on you, it works very well.

"Mu Mu, let me say it again, humans and mermaids are different."

Wen Ming said calmly: "We use different ointments; we eat different foods; we speak different languages..."

Mu Mu looked confused and picked at the packaging paper of the repair ointment.

"Do you need me to give you an example?"

Wen Ming's tone became deeper, and he took Mu Mu's hand and touched his throat.

"Good night."

His Adam's apple vibrated slightly along with his vocal cords. Mu Mu couldn't describe the feeling, let alone the look in Wen Ming's eyes:

"Just like these two words, I will never hear your response."

...

Mu Mu has insomnia.

Every time it is about to fall asleep, the voice of "good night" rings in its ears, and it loses sleep instantly.

The little mermaid floats on the water in the dark, its eyes wide open like copper bells.

Its tribe lives in the sea, where dangers are hidden at all times.

Although mermaids have strong hunting abilities, other marine creatures at the top of the food chain will compete with them for territory and attack them, so mermaids must also remain vigilant when they sleep.

"Good night", Mu Mu's language does not have such an expression.

But Mu Mu does not mind Wen Ming saying good night to him.

Wen Ming is a good master who keeps his promises. After he said good night, he really created a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for Mu Mu.

"Ah, ah."

The sound that rang out in the mermaid room was not even within the frequency range that humans can hear.

Mu Mu sighed, as if feeling Wen Ming's words, and put his fingers on his throat:

I am also a mermaid who keeps his promises. I will protect my master after saying good night.

I want to respond to him!

"Good night."

"......?"

Mu Mu didn't have time to confirm whether he had auditory hallucinations. His body suddenly became unstable. His lower body flipped twice and sank into the water.

"Ahem!"

Mu Mu hurriedly crawled out, gasping for breath: "Oh - oh -

that's not right, how can a mermaid spit water?"

Mu Mu's face froze, and he lowered his head to look underwater.

Flustered... confused?

*

"Admiral, the morning meeting will start in ten minutes."

In the Wen's company building, Assistant Xu followed behind Wen Ming and reported:

"Qi's Mermaid Products Company has recently cooperated with the Mermaid Center to promote toy water balls. The countermeasures will be discussed at today's morning meeting. I will send you the information now."

"Water polo, Qi Xuan's project?"

"Yes." Assistant Xu glanced sideways, "Do you know water polo?"

Wen Ming scanned the information received by the optical computer: "I've seen it at the mermaid competition."

Admiral, participating in the mermaid competition?

Assistant Xu slowly adjusted his glasses: "Have you... been successful in raising the mermaid recently?"

Wen Ming adjusted the collar of his suit: "It started to destroy the house."

Assistant Xu became excited when he talked about down-to-earth topics: "Destroying the house? It's okay. The mermaid is just doing a little bit of destruction. It just splashes water everywhere."

"It pulled out the curtains, bit off the toothbrush, and destroyed the housekeeper's robotic arm..."

Assistant Xu's expression was relaxed at first, but the more he listened, the more his eyelids twitched:

"Wait a minute... robotic arm? A robotic arm made of hard star steel?"

"Yeah."

Assistant Xu looked at Wen Ming with an uneasy look in his eyes:

How could a mermaid destroy a house like that?

Could it be that the admiral's old mental injury recurred and he unconsciously destroyed the robotic arm and wrongly blamed the mermaid...

"That's true..." Assistant Xu hesitated for a long time, "The destructive power is amazing!"

When the two arrived at the conference room, the rest of the company's senior executives had already arrived.

After Wen Ming took his seat, relevant information was projected in the center of the conference room, and people expressed their opinions one after another:

"Although Qi's project is large-scale, the person in charge Qi Xuan will not be able to accomplish anything big, so there is no need to be overly cautious."

"The sales volume of water balls threatens Wen's new flavor of fish food, and it has even become the designated toy for large-scale activities at the Mermaid Center. Now the wind is blowing in Qi's favor!"

"We have to admit that our competitors have caught up, and we must also advance the research and development of mermaid toys..."

"Everyone."

As soon as this voice came out, everyone stopped arguing and looked at Wen Ming in unison.

Seeing that his brows were not relaxed, everyone's heart immediately hung in the air:

This matter could actually make Admiral Wen frown, has the Qi family really risen to such a threatening position...

Wen Ming continued: "Except for the departments I will mention next, the rest will work according to the current progress. Design department, submit mermaid toy ideas in groups..."

He quickened his speech and arranged all the work within a few minutes. His top-notch ability to handle incidents greatly promoted the progress of the meeting.

"The meeting is adjourned."

Several people had not finished recording their departmental tasks. When they looked up, only the door of the conference room was shaking slightly...

Special Assistant Xu hurried out: "Admiral! Where are you going, Admiral? There are three more meetings after the morning meeting..."

"Postponed." Wen Ming listened to the alarm transmitted by the optical computer, "There is an emergency at home."

"Ah?" Special Assistant Xu ran a few steps and didn't even catch up with his back.

"Doesn't the admiral's family only have a mermaid?" Assistant Xu wondered, "What's the matter?

Could it be that the mermaid has turned into a human?"

After mumbling, he laughed at himself: "I really can't stand my sense of humor..."
