Chapter 24 Chapter 24
For safety reasons, Mu Mu ended the PK with Da Hu and went offline.
He restored the mermaid room: "Alas, without the assistant to read the audience's speeches, the live broadcast was a mess."
The housekeeper patted his back with a mechanical arm: "It was a successful live broadcast."
"Don't comfort me." Mu Mu said frustratedly, "I didn't even earn half a star coin this time..."
"A total of 1234 gifts were received in this live broadcast, and the current account balance is: 2345 star coins."
"You stole it?"
Mu Mu's jaw almost dropped to the ground: "It costs 100 star coins to buy me, and more than 2,000 star coins can buy more than 20 of me!"
A huge sum of money!
"Transfer to the master's account!"
The housekeeper flashed a red indicator light: "Operation error, the target account has closed the anonymous transfer function."
"How could it be..." Mu Mu pondered, "Then does the master need to pay any fees? Just pay it directly."
"Ding, the property fee for this month has been paid, and the current account balance is: -3456 star coins."
"...How much!?"
Soon, a Cangsang little mermaid appeared in the mermaid pond.
The "huge sum of money" was not even warm in the pocket, and there was an extra debt on the back.
The star coins earned were like a drop of water falling into the sea. Is there anything more difficult than "supporting a master" in the interstellar space?
The reclusive little mermaid was trapped by money and didn't notice that there was a private message from "Wen's official account" in her live broadcast account...
"Swoosh--"
Wen Ming's airship returned home on time.
Mu Mu drove the scooter to the door: "Ah." Welcome home.
Its mood was obviously not as high as before. Wen Ming touched the mermaid's head: "Are you uncomfortable?"
"Wu..." Master, you don't understand, my heart hurts.
The little mermaid seemed to be telling something, rubbing against Wen Ming's palm.
'Humans can come into contact with a lot in a day, but your mermaid can only keep looking at the door and waiting for you to come home. '
Wen Ming lowered his eyelids and suddenly picked up Mu Mu: "Sorry, I keep you waiting for a long time every day."
"?" Mu Mu was surprised.
Seeing Wen Ming walking towards the balcony, Mu Mu instantly forgot all his worries.
"Oh!" It's okay. I can forgive you for bringing back the fish every day no matter how late it is!
As soon as he approached the swimming pool, Mu Mu couldn't wait to jump in and chase today's fresh fish.
"Ding, there's your package."
The door issued a notification to receive the express delivery.
Mu Mu's ears trembled and his fish-eating movements slowed down.
He watched Wen Ming with his peripheral vision as he took back the express delivery, a small square package.
It's cufflinks! The owner must like the valuable things he bought!
Fortunately, Mu Mu's mouth was full of fish meat, otherwise he would have laughed foolishly...
Wen Ming had no impression of this express delivery. He looked at the introduction on the box - 'Congratulations on your account winning the prize, prize: a cufflink!'
This was the introduction that Mu Mu asked Da Hu to write when he sent the address to him.
Mu Mu's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Hey!" People who work hard will have good luck!
Wen Ming threw away the whole package with disinterest.
Mu Mu: O^O
It never wants to forgive its owner in its lifetime.
When Wen Ming returned to the balcony, a mermaid quickly crawled from its feet in the opposite direction...
"Mu Mu?"
Mu Mu seemed to have reached a rebellious stage. It ignored him and crawled to the trash can and dug hard.
It secretly stretched out its claws, and the express box was torn to pieces by it, and paper scraps flew all over the sky.
Mu Mu always finds unexpected ways to destroy the house.
Wen Ming held its arm: "Mu Mu, this is a place to throw away garbage, you can't turn it over."
"Hoo!" Are you polite? Calling my gift "garbage"?
Mu Mu broke through the layers of packaging, pulled out the shiny cufflink, and held it up to show Wen Ming: "Pfft!" Pretty, right?
In Wen Ming's eyes, the fake diamonds on the cufflinks were not as bright as Mu Mu's eyes.
He took the cufflinks cooperatively, and felt the cheap texture at first touch, with a puzzled look between his brows:
"Are there cufflinks of such poor quality?"
"..."
Mu Mu wrinkled his nose and didn't let the tears flow out.
It snatched the cufflinks, jumped into the scooter and drove back to the mermaid room, with a stubborn and terrifying back.
Wen Ming:?
What angered the little mermaid?
Wen Ming even considered asking him to help translate Mu Mu's ideas when talking to the masked anchor about endorsements.
"Mu Mu." Wen Ming chased to the mermaid room and tried to coax her, "You haven't finished eating the fish yet."
A bubble of despair exploded on the water surface.
"Bo." Just consider me full.
Wen Ming came to the poolside, and Mu Mu sank in the water, spitting out a string of bubbles from his mouth.
Blowing bubbles is its specialty, and it can control the size and speed, and spit out various patterns.
Wen Ming said seriously: "Mu Mu is really amazing."
Mu Mu glanced at him: "Bo Bo." If it's not amazing, I can only buy the worst quality gifts.
It put the cufflinks in front of its mouth and blew air with its lips skillfully.
A bubble wrapped around the cufflinks, floating up and down, and the cufflinks, bubbles, and pool water each reflected light.
Compared to when he saw the cufflinks just now, Wen Ming's eyes now have more interest: "Beautiful."
The mermaid suddenly emerged from the water: "Oh!"
Right, I said this cufflink is very beautiful!
Mu Mu shook off the water on the cufflinks and put them next to Wen Ming.
A large piece of bright diamonds looks a bit out of place with the dark formal suit, but Wen Ming has deep facial features and is handsome enough to handle all styles.
Mu Mu held his chin with admiration in his hands:
"Oh!" Handsome, it feels like the photo of you in military uniform!
Wen Ming thought about it and fastened his cufflinks, and Mu Mu smiled even more contentedly.
Sure enough...
Wen Ming lowered his head to look at his clothes:
Mu Mu was not satisfied with his clothing style.
*
Special Assistant Xu stared at Wen Ming with a dull expression.
To be precise, he was staring at Wen Ming's watch. He
couldn't count from which day on, he could always find details of change on Wen Ming -
tie clips, cufflinks, chest scarf... changing the style every day to add decoration to the monotonous suit.
This kind of "little trick" is normal for other people, but for Wen Ming...
it's not right, extremely not right!
Special Assistant Xu muttered in horror: "The Admiral is not..." In love? A peacock spreading its tail?
No, no, no!
He shook his head like a rattle, vehemently denying this guess.
The Admiral is simply a non-human, which human can be in love with him?
"Special Assistant Xu." Wen Ming raised his eyes, "Did the masked anchor respond?"
Special Assistant Xu shook his head: "I sent several messages, but they all fell into the sea."
"What about the progress of toy development?"
Special Assistant Xu looked embarrassed: "The current design plans have not been passed unanimously..." "
." Wen Ming pressed his fingers on his temples.
As his arm was raised, the watch slid down, revealing a bony, thin and powerful wrist.
Assistant Xu couldn't help but ask:
"Admiral, why have you been paying more attention to your outfit recently?"
Wen Ming didn't deny: "My mermaid wants to see it."
Assistant Xu's head buzzed: "Another mermaid?"
"Before I go out, it will carefully observe my clothes and can sensitively find out what's different today."
Wen Ming thought of Mu Mu's cute look with bright eyes pointing at the watch, and the fatigue brought by work was reduced.
"Well, well... quite smart."
Assistant Xu relied on his strong will to force out a compliment, and then left Wen Ming's office with shaky steps.
"Help, I'm really crazy this time..."
Assistant Xu whispered to himself, trembling and dialing the light computer call.
"Hello? Assistant Xu?" A hearty voice came from the other side of the computer, and two fangs that made people hallucinate when they smiled. "I haven't contacted you for a long time. How have you been recently?"
Assistant Xu was distressed: "I'm fine, but Admiral Wen, he's gone crazy!"
"What?"
"Xiao Jun, you are the only friend of the admiral in my impression. Please enlighten him!"
Xiao Jun was even more confused: "Don't worry, tell me clearly, what happened to Wen Ming?"
"Maybe because he has been lonely for too long, he actually treats mermaids as humans. Just because the mermaids looked at him a few times before work, he matched his accessories every day!"
Xiao Jun said optimistically: "You think too seriously, he just hasn't gotten over the novelty of raising mermaids yet."
"How can the novelty last so long! Since the admiral raised a mermaid, what he talked about with me the most was not work, but his experience of raising mermaids.
I almost forgot that he used to be a workaholic with no interest in life..."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Assistant Xu wiped away his tears: "My peers envy me for working at Wen's Company, but in fact, the job requirements have become similar to those of a mermaid nanny."
Xiao Jun smacked his lips: "The company's performance must not be very good."
"This is the most incredible..."
Assistant Xu used a tone of talking about supernatural events: "The performance is getting better and better. The sales of the mermaid language anchor have been increasing after the advertisement!"
Xiao Jun took a breath: "Amazing! Wen Ming is so lucky, he doesn't need my guidance."
"Xiao Jun!"
"Hhh Just kidding, I will definitely go."
...
Xiao Jun is a man of action. He estimated that when Wen Ming gets off work, he brought his daughter to the door of Wen Ming's house.
"Dad, are we really going to Uncle Wen's house?" Xiao Yue looked reluctant.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Jun comforted, "Uncle Wen's house is just a little cold, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"But..."
It's not the house that's scary, it's Uncle Wen himself!
Xiao Jun: "Don't you want to see Mu Mu?"
"..." Xiao Yue stopped arguing and grabbed the corner of Xiao Jun's clothes.
Xiao Jun handed her a balloon: "Xiao Yue is the bravest, hold the balloon tightly and you won't be afraid!"
The door in front of her was opened, and a violent energy particle surged out from the gap in the door.
Although the energy was small, it made Xiao Yue shudder.
"Hello Uncle Wen..." She greeted quietly, hugged the balloon tightly, and huddled behind Xiao Jun.
Wen Ming took the initiative to step back and move away.
Xiao Jun touched Xiao Yue's head helplessly: "Go, Mu Mu is in the mermaid room."
She nodded and ran towards the mermaid room, as if there was a monster chasing her...
Wen Ming knocked the housekeeper with his knuckles: "You also go to the mermaid room to protect them."
"Ding ding!"
The space was left for Wen Ming and Xiao Jun.
Wen Ming looked at the back of the machine and whispered: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Jun scratched his face: "Is it so obvious... I heard that you are addicted to raising mermaids?"
Wen Ming did not comment: "Assistant Xu?"
"He told me." Xiao Jun spread his hands. "You don't communicate with others outside of work, and only Assistant Xu knows your situation."
Wen Ming was silent for a few seconds: "So?"
"If you invest too much emotion in a mermaid, you will be disappointed in the end."
Xiao Jun's brows were tied with a knot: "You have been in a more stable state recently than before. If you put all your spiritual needs on mermaids, I am worried that you will return to the period of completely closing your heart.
Unless your mermaid can transform into a human with emotions, but that's just a dream, right?"
...
At the same time, in the mermaid room.
Mu Mu and Xiao Yue stared at each other.
The little girl stared at the mermaid's facial features, and always felt that she had seen this face somewhere...
Mu Mu looked at her looming little tiger teeth in horror.
"Mu Mu, are you..."
