Chapter 26 Chapter 26

The meeting about the new floating ball project was held by Assistant Xu.

"It should be okay, right?"

Assistant Xu recalled Wen Ming's expression when he left the company, and was vaguely worried:

"If something happens to the mermaid, will the admiral return to his previous state..."

Mu Mu felt very uncomfortable.

Everything was normal that day. The bullet screen assistant had not been successfully upgraded, so Mu Mu could not live broadcast.

After watching 30 minutes of bloody drama, he turned into a human and wandered around bored.

Wen Ming's house is very big, but Mu Mu, who has plenty of time, has already explored it inside and out.

He aimed his exploration at a large appliance: "Little housekeeper, what is this?"

"A chiller, each storage compartment inside can adjust the temperature and humidity according to the ingredients to keep them fresh to the greatest extent."

"Wow! For food?"

Mu Mu opened the chiller, and there were only two storage compartments filled with things.

"The master's food is too scarce, I will buy him delicious food after I pay off the star coins I owe him, and fill the chiller!"

Mu Mu pulled out the first compartment, which was filled with nutritional supplements.

"Does the master really only eat this?" Mu Mu closed the compartment angrily, "I'll throw away these rotten foods when I make a lot of money!"

Rotten food?

The housekeeper's camera scanned around, but couldn't detect what Mu Mu was talking about...

Mu Mu pulled out the second storage compartment - several boxes of children's milk with cartoon patterns printed on the packaging.

Mu Mu picked up one of the boxes and shook it: "Something that humans drink?"

The housekeeper: "Milk, a natural dairy product, helps to supplement protein and other nutrients."

Mu Mu curiously stretched out his claws, poked a hole in the milk box, and squeezed it into his mouth.

"It tastes weird." Mu Mu smacked his lips a few times.

But the little housekeeper said it was nutritious.

Mu Mu pinched his nose and drank the whole box.

His nightmare began from then on. He

was fine in human form, but when Mu Mu turned back into a mermaid, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Severe stomach pain, tail seems to have been scraped off the scales, twitching, and there is a burning feeling...

Mu Mu covered his stomach and rolled violently in the mermaid pool.

He had experienced this feeling before. Once in the laboratory, he was so hungry that he ate the scales that fell from his tail.

The symptoms at that time were exactly the same as now. His screams of pain disturbed the mermaids in the entire laboratory. He was held down by the previous owner and given an injection before he felt better.

This time he didn't eat the scales, how could it be... milk?

Mu Mu wanted to become a human, but his tail was in great pain and he couldn't change his form.

"Awooo..." Master... emergency button...

He lay weakly on the edge of the pool, his arms were powerless, and he slid straight down again.

"Ding ding!"

The housekeeper detected the abnormality of the mermaid and immediately sent an alarm to Wen Ming.

"Mu Mu?"

Wen Ming, who was connected to the video, did not see the mermaid on the screen.

With one trembling hand on the pool wall, Mu Mu raised his chin with all his strength and emerged from the water.

"Hmm... ah..." It hurts so much!

Its voice was weak and its lips were bloodless.

Wen Ming's words to Special Assistant Xu about the work were immediately transmitted from the other side of the video.

Mu Mu felt that the speed of his brain had slowed down and could not keep up with Wen Ming's extremely fast speaking speed.

"Ouch." Master, can you come back a little earlier today? I'm about to faint.

"Mu Mu, wait for me a while, don't sleep." Wen Ming's anxious tone was drowned out by the speeding reminder of the airship.

His voice made Mu Mu feel at ease, and his consciousness was groggy.

Suddenly, a strong urge to vomit came up.

Mu Mu shuddered: I must not vomit in my own pool!

It didn't know where it got the strength from, and its fish tail flapped on the water surface and flipped out of the mermaid pool.

Then it fell to the ground with a "bang", vomiting tears.

Wen Ming roughly guessed the reason: "Housekeeper, what did it eat?"

"A bag of snacks and a box of milk."

"Make an appointment at the Mermaid Center Emergency Room." Following this sentence, there was the sound of the airship landing.

Usually Mu Mu is very sensitive to this sound, but now it is vomiting all over the place, and groping around in a daze:

"Woo..." I have to wipe the ground clean.

When it was about to touch the curtain, Wen Ming grabbed its wrist.

"Huh?" What for?

Mu Mu thought he was caught by the housekeeper's mechanical arm, and struggled with his tail.

"It's okay." Wen Ming quickly wrapped it with a moisturizing film.

It's the master!

Mu Mu used his hands and tail to wrap around Wen Ming, and Wen Ming picked him up.

Mu Mu sighed in the warm and familiar embrace, and even his body was not as painful as before.

He nestled on Wen Ming's neck, so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting: "Ah?"

Wen Ming whispered: "Well, you can sleep now."

...

Mu Mu didn't sleep well this time, and the feeling on his body always reminded him of the days in the laboratory.

He buried his nose in Wen Ming's shoulder, breathing in the faint cold fragrance on his body, and his heart was at ease.

"What did it drink?"

"Milk."

"The mermaid's body has a rejection reaction to lactose, which is rare. Normally, mermaids won't drink milk when they smell it..."

Woohoo, it's milk!

Mu Mu buried his whole face, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Wen Ming.

Wen Ming patted its back rhythmically and soon coaxed the little mermaid to sleep.

The last time Xiao Jun and Xiao Yue came home, there was nothing to treat them.

Wen Ming prepared a few boxes of children's milk and waited for the little girl to come to play with Mu Mu again, and then gave her some.

Unexpectedly, Mu Mu turned it out...

"It's still in pain." Wen Ming asked the doctor, "How to treat it?"

The doctor looked at him holding the mermaid like a baby, his eyes twitched, and he struggled to maintain his professionalism:

"When a mermaid rejects, the reaction is as severe as an allergy, but it can recover with an injection, don't worry."

The doctor patted the treatment pool in front of him and said, "Put it in. The mermaid is very noisy when getting an injection, and it needs to be suppressed by force."

A mechanical arm stretched out from the treatment pool and approached Mu Mu.

"Huh..." Mu Mu woke up, the tip of his tail exploded instantly, and he growled vigilantly. As

soon as the mechanical arm touched it, it turned its head quickly and bit the mechanical arm with its fangs.

"Your mermaid is very aggressive!"

The doctor said helplessly, "Mechanical suppression won't work, we can only suppress it with our spirit."

"It resists any suppression." Wen Ming refused, "Just give it an injection, I'll control it."

The doctor frowned in disapproval.

Even a former battlefield general cannot underestimate a struggling mermaid.

"Mumu, let go."

Wen Ming directly blocked the mermaid's mouth with his hand under the doctor's frightened gaze.

"Don't, mermaids don't bite things lightly!"

The mermaid seemed to be angry that someone stopped it from biting the mechanical arm, and bit the hand instead.

The doctor gasped: "I'll call for bandaging equipment..."

"It's okay." Wen Ming didn't hide, just let his hand be bitten by the mermaid, "It didn't use much force."

The doctor said in disbelief: "Really?"

Mu Mu opened his mouth and glanced at the doctor. There was not even a tooth mark on the skin under its mouth.

"It really didn't hurt anyone!"

The doctor believed it a little, picked up the syringe, and approached the mermaid carefully.

When Mu Mu saw the needle, he was so scared that his throat kept "thumping". The doctor thought it was going to explode again, so he quickly retracted his hand.

If Wen Ming hadn't been watching him, the doctor would have been unable to resist activating his spiritual sea...

Mu Mu hugged Wen Ming's arm aggrievedly: "Huh?" Am I that scary?

Wen Ming soothed, "Mu Mu, be good and cooperate with me a little more."

The little mermaid was like a rag doll, letting herself be swayed, with her hands behind her back, clamped by one hand of Wen Ming.

Wen Ming embraced the mermaid with his other hand and pressed it on the back of its head.

The claws, fangs, and all the dangerous parts of the mermaid were retracted.

This posture really made the doctor feel completely at ease.

How dangerous can a mermaid who cooperates with her master to this extent be?

The doctor neatly inserted the needle into the mermaid's skin.

At that moment, the doctor felt the mermaid tremble, but it did not move around as the doctor worried, but just hummed softly.

The doctor suddenly wanted to laugh -

this mermaid is too good at acting coquettishly.

Injections do cause pain, but compared with the lactose rejection reaction, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The little mermaid gritted her teeth and endured it when it hurt the most, but now she hums non-stop when getting an injection.

The only difference is that she is not in her owner's arms.

As the doctor pushed the syringe, he raised his head and glanced at Wen Ming - he

was indeed cold-blooded and heartless, and he didn't say any comforting words to the coquettish little mermaid.

He just used his fingers to tickle the tip of the mermaid's ear.

This action is different from that of all mermaid owners, and it may be their exclusive soothing signal.

"Okay." The doctor pressed the needle hole with a cotton swab, "Good mermaid."

Mu Mu's ears trembled, and he turned his head back and smiled with his lips pursed.

So cute!

The doctor continued to praise in a pinched voice: "The most obedient little mermaid I have ever seen!"

Mu Mu happily shook the tip of his tail and rubbed it on the doctor's hand, as if responding.

"Thank you."

Wen Ming suddenly grabbed Mu Mu's tail and nodded to the doctor, keeping a distance: "Sorry for the trouble."

"...Nothing."

The doctor felt a little disappointed for some reason, staring at the tip of the tail held in Wen Ming's palm:

"You have a really good relationship with the mermaid. Have you been raising her since she was a child?"

Wen Ming transferred Mu Mu's mermaid medical records to the doctor's computer.

Was the mermaid adopted after she became an adult?

The doctor opened the medical records and said in astonishment: "Then you two have a deep bond. Most people who have been raised since they were young don't have such a good relationship as you do." "

Oh?"

Mu Mu tilted his head, as if asking: Is it true?

"Yes." The doctor explained with a smile, "Mermaid owners all use mermaid cages to take their mermen to see doctors, but Mu Mu is the only one who sticks to his owner all the time."

Mu Mu then realized that he was still clinging to Wen Ming tightly, and he modestly withdrew his hand and jumped into the treatment pool:

"Ah!" I'm much better! No need to hug me anymore.

"In the next period of time, its ability to break down food will be affected by rejection, and it will have a loss of appetite. It needs to take conditioning and nutritional medicine."

The doctor pushed open the door of the clinic: "I'll take you to get the medicine."

Wen Ming stroked Mu Mu's hair: "Wait for me here."

"Woo." You have to come and pick me up soon.

This time, the rejection exhausted Mu Mu's strength. At first, it could still stare at the door of the clinic, waiting, and yawned listlessly.

Mumu curled up his tail, nestled in a corner of the pool, and closed his eyes to rest.

He faintly heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and a strong gaze fell on him, sticky and wet like a venomous snake's tongue, making him feel very uncomfortable.

What was most uncomfortable was that the sight was very familiar.

Disappointment, unwillingness, enthusiasm for unknown power and desire to explore...

"!"

Mu Mu woke up instantly and sounded the most dangerous alarm in his heart.

The mermaid's face was half exposed above the water, with a ferocious expression, and her long curly hair with gradient colors fluttering on the water, brewing an unfriendly atmosphere.

The man standing at the door seemed unaware of its hostility.

"No. 55, did you miss me?" The

man was wearing a white coat, with a gentle expression, but his eyes were cold and full of incongruity:

"You feel wronged for leaving me, right? Come back with me, how about that?"
