Chapter 41 Chapter 41

Wen Ming thought that it was the right choice to make a pendant out of shells.

As he expected, the little mermaid was deeply fascinated by the shells.

Mu Mu, who usually liked to play in the swimming pool, now just nestled on him and held on to the shells.

Mu Mu's claws kept rubbing against the shells, and Wen Ming looked down:

"Mu Mu?"

Mu Mu didn't even raise his head, grinding the shells.

"Are your claws uncomfortable? There are scratching boards in the mermaid room, you can use them to grind."

Wen Ming's voice was like mellow red wine, flowing slowly.

The sound of grinding the shells finally stopped. From the angle where Wen Ming looked down, he could see that the tip of the little mermaid's ears were congested, as if stained by red wine.

There is no record of this phenomenon in the Mermaid Breeding Manual.

"What's wrong with the ear?"

Wen Ming's finger rubbed against the pointed ear, and it was knocked off with a "snap".

"?" He grabbed Mu Mu's waist, pushed it up, and faced it, "Fever?"

Mu Mu's expression was a little out of control, and his eyes were like mosquito coils, spinning around in a daze.

Wen Ming was even more puzzled: "Why is your face red?"

"Ah!"

Mu Mu's fins from head to tail exploded instantly, screamed, and twisted its tail to slip out of Wen Ming's hand.

Wen Ming was whipped by its tail and hit the edge of the swimming pool.

He steadied his body. He had not suffered such a strong "attack" since he retired from the battlefield.

"It doesn't look sick..."

The water in the pool was churning, and the little mermaid who caused this commotion shrank to the corner of the swimming pool.

If you don't look carefully, you might think that the edge is moldy and a big mushroom has grown.

"Mumu, there are still fish, do you want to eat them?"

"Where are the snacks?"

"I'll give you a shell to wear?"

Wen Ming tried to coax him in various ways, but Mumu didn't move at all. I don't know what's wrong with him .

The housekeeper recorded the whole process by the pool and searched: "Recommend the following related questions for you - Why do children become difficult to raise when they grow up?"

"It's mermaids." Wen Ming corrected.

The concepts of mermaids and "children" are very different.

"Didi, do you want to search - Why do mermaids become difficult to raise when they grow up?"

Wen Ming paused for a few seconds and changed his words: "No, search the previous one."

The concepts of "Mumu" and mermaids are also different. Wen Ming regards him as an independent intelligent creature.

"Ding ding, the result with the most likes: the child has entered puberty."

Wen Ming understood: "Rebellious."

The housekeeper's indicator light flashed, and it did not continue to announce the second most like answer - reaching the age of spring love.

Before Wen Ming could think of a way to coax her, a few drops of rain made ripples in the swimming pool.

The sound of water seemed to disturb the little mermaid, and it suddenly popped out of its head and looked at Wen Ming.

Wen Ming was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand to it: "Come."

Mu Mu's body swayed like waves, and he swam quickly to the edge of the swimming pool and grabbed his hand.

Then he tried hard to squeeze out his counseling ability and transmitted it to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming didn't realize it, so he picked it up and applied a maintenance cream to the fish's tail to relieve the irritation of the disinfectant.

During this period, Mu Mu kept counseling.

Wen Ming put it into the scooter and pulled away: "Mu Mu, it's okay."

"Hmph... Woo..." Mu Mu shouted anxiously, maneuvering the scooter closer to Wen Ming.

It stretched out its arm and wiped the corner of Wen Ming's mouth, looking extremely worried.

Wen Ming suddenly realized: "Are you worried that my spiritual sea is restless?"

"Ouch." Your mouth was bleeding last time!

Wen Ming pressed down its hand that wanted to guide it: "No need."

Mu Mu's lips trembled, and he visibly wilted: "Huh." I get it, you go find a senior mermaid for guidance.

Raindrops fell on the corners of its eyes and were wiped by Wen Ming's fingertips.

"Mu Mu, my spiritual sea only becomes restless when there is thunder."

Mu Mu frowned and looked up at the sky -

the sky was gloomy, the clouds were thick, and raindrops falling = thunder!

"Not every time it rains there will be thunder." Wen Ming pushed the mermaid scooter back into the house, "Remember the first day I took you home?"

Mu Mu replied with an "Ah": I remember, it only rained that day, but there was no thunder.

Otherwise, I might have made a wish to the thunder and lightning to "give me a home".

But what if it rains and then thunders?

Mu Mu stared at Wen Ming: "Shh." Just like you love to kill the horse rifle!

Wen Ming sent it back to the mermaid room, left some snacks, and went to deal with work.

"Ah!" You don't take care of your body at all!

Mu Mu punched Wen Ming's back a few times, and a series of terrible scenes emerged in his mind:

sudden thunder → the owner's mental sea is agitated → fainted in pain → died young before he could ask for help

No, no, no...

Mu Mu rushed into Wen Ming's room with the scooter: "Ah?" Where is the person?

"Ding!" The sleeping capsule detected a "person" approaching, "Do you want to turn on the sleep mode?"

Mumu blinked: What is this thing? I have never seen it before.

It felt the stable energy in the air, and curiosity took over:

"Ah." It should be in time to find its owner after hearing the thunder...

Mumu approached the sleeping capsule and touched the glowing button on it.

After drinking milk, its right to use electrical appliances was turned off, and it had no reaction when touching other machines, but the indicator light of this machine lit up as soon as it was touched:

"Ding! Welcome to use the sleeping capsule."

"Roar!" It works! Is this where the owner sleeps?

Mu Mu tried the remaining buttons one by one. When he pressed one of the blue water drop buttons, a fine mist of water sprayed out of the sleeping capsule:

"Ding! Turn on the humidification function."

Mu Mu first felt the mist with his paws, then leaned his upper body in, and finally even put his tail over.

"Huh..." So comfortable.

It pressed the plus sign next to the blue water drop button again: "Ding! The humidification function has been adjusted to the strongest."

The sleeping capsule turned into a water curtain hole, and the mist sprayed on Mu Mu, as if it were countless soft feathers.

"Ah!" The one who enjoys this treatment is the winner of sashimi!

It listened to the sound of rain outside the house, enjoyed the hydrotherapy spa, forgot about time, forgot about itself...

"Tick." Mu Mu woke up suddenly.

It climbed to the edge of the sleeping cabin and saw water droplets condensing on the corners of the mattress and dripping down.

Mu Mu quickly turned off the humidification, and the whole mattress became wet. Wherever it pressed its hand, a puddle appeared.

It's over.

How about inviting the owner to sleep in the mermaid pond tonight?

*

Wen Ming was doing work in the study.

For some reason, several employees sent red envelopes to the work group of Wen's company, and Wen Ming also sent a big envelope.

No one rushed to grab it.

There was silence in the group for a while, and then an employee tentatively sent a message:

"Is the admiral also single?"

Wen Ming: ?

After the employee explained, Wen Ming knew that tomorrow was the interstellar love festival, and some employees who had found lovers sent red envelopes to convey their luck in being single.

"So Admiral Wen has also quietly found a partner?"

"Congratulations Admiral! I wish you a long and lasting relationship!"

Special Assistant Xu jumped out and interrupted a string of "99s": "The boss doesn't have so many reasons to give out red envelopes, say it with me - thank you, boss!"

Love story?

Wen Ming turned off the computer without interest.

"Boom--"

The sound of a machine came from the direction of the bedroom. Wen Ming hurried over and found that the sleeping capsule had turned on the drying mode.

Unlike the humidification mode, the sleeping capsule will be closed during drying, and it will quickly heat and dehumidify.

Wen Ming looked through the transparent capsule and saw the little mermaid trapped inside, clinging to the glass with a terrified expression.

It patted the glass: Master! Help!

Wen Ming had just bought this sleeping capsule, and it had not yet been connected to the home system, nor had Mu Mu's access rights been disabled.

The machine had only been home for one day, what trouble could Mu Mu cause?

It did.

Wen Ming quickly turned off the drying function, and the transparent window of the sleeping capsule was lowered.

The rescued Mu Mu screamed, "Ouch!" Master, you must not use this broken machine to sleep! It

looks like a transparent coffin, which is unlucky!

It caught a glimpse of Wen Ming's frosty face, lowered its eyebrows and pretended to be honest, turning into a pincher fish: "Meow~" I knew I was wrong.

Wen Ming said nothing, picked it up and returned to the mermaid room, pressing it against the soft wall.

Mu Mu felt like a fish on a chopping board, flapping its tail.

"Pa!"

Mu Mu was startled and covered his butt: "Ouch!" You hit me!

Wen Ming's eyes were calm: "Why did you turn on the dryer?"

"Ouch." I accidentally over-humidified it. I thought you humans like to sleep in dry places...

"Pa!" Before he could finish his explanation, he was slapped again.

Wen Ming clenched his palms slightly, and the sound was loud, but it didn't hurt.

Mu Mu is an "Oscar-winning fish" and howled: "Wow!" Isn't it okay that I won't mess with the things in the player anymore!

"Mu Mu, you have to have the consciousness of being a mermaid."

Mu Mu pretended to cry and sobbed, looking at him with a slit in her eyes.

Wen Ming checked its tail: "It's okay for the machine to get wet, but there will be problems for mermaids to stay in a dry environment."

Mu Mu tapped the soft wall with the tip of its tail a few times, as if admitting its mistake.

Wen Ming sighed and applied moisturizer to it: "You can touch things used by humans, but the premise of everything is to give priority to yourself and protect yourself. Remember?"

Mu Mu nodded and buried his head in his arms.

Oops, the heartbeat changed from "bang, bang, bang" to "bang bang bang" again!

"Okay." Wen Ming covered it with moisturizer and put it back on the mermaid supplies rack, "It's time to go to bed."

And during these few steps, Mu Mu always hugged his arm and was dragged to slide on the soft wall, like a mermaid-shaped pendant.

"Woo." The rain didn't stop, you are still in danger!

Wen Ming tried to pry its claws open. This one was pried off, and the other side was pulled up again, and finally even the fish tail was entangled over.

"... Still want to play in the sleeping pod?"

Mu Mu looked at him seriously: "Ah." I have to watch you sleep.

Ten minutes later.

Mu Mu, with a moisture cap on his hair and a moisturizing film wrapped around his tail, patted the mattress excitedly:

"Ah!" Come on, sleep!

Mermaids have a sense of territory. Mu Mu subconsciously thought that this cool area was not his home turf, so he gave up most of the mattress and retreated to the edge of the sleeping pod.

The two-meter-wide sleeping pod had a space of more than one meter between the man and the fish.

"Ding!" The sleeping cabin that had been connected to the home system prompted, "Different species have been detected in the cabin. Which one should the temperature and humidity parameters be adapted to first?"

"Adapt to mermaids first."

"Puka." It should be adapted to you. I'm not sleeping. I'm just here to check on you...

"Good night."

Wen Ming used two words to stop Mu Mu's chattering.

The little mermaid's eyes were wide open, and she had no intention of sleeping at all.

Wen Ming thought for a moment, then leaned over and gave it a goodnight kiss on the forehead...

Wen Ming was a light sleeper, and any noise at night could wake him up. Although

there were other creatures sleeping beside him that night, he slept very soundly, and even had a long-awaited dream -

in the dream, someone was entangled with him, that person's ears were red, and there was a cool touch between the skin.

Wen Ming heard his breathing become heavy, and the other person also exhaled hot breath, looked up at him, and his eyes were blurred.

"!" Wen Ming woke up suddenly.

The little mermaid beside him had forgotten any sense of territory, and was sleeping soundly with her chin resting on Wen Ming.

"..." Wen Ming's expression was complicated and he paused for a few seconds.

He withdrew his body, gently carried Mu Mu and put her on the bed.

The pair of ice-blue eyelashes that overlapped with the one in the dream trembled, and the little mermaid "hummed" and was about to wake up.

Wen Ming touched its side face with the back of his hand: "It's still early, go to sleep."

Mu Mu rubbed the pillow a few times and continued to sleep. Her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, which was very different from the expression in the dream.

Wen Ming walked quickly to the bathroom, looked down, covered his face and sighed:

"Tai..."
