Chapter 42 Chapter 42
Love Day, called the most romantic day by all the interstellar humans.
According to the star calendar, it was on this day thousands of years ago that the twin blue moons left their orbits and gradually approached each other.
People named the day when the twin blue moons were most attractive as "Love Day", and there is a secret code for Love Day that is passed down -
soul mates are destined to fall in love on this day.
Wen's Company.
When Wen Ming passed by the office area, he received several sad eyes.
"Assistant Xu." He called people into the office, "Is everyone dissatisfied with the recent workload?"
Assistant Xu shook his head: "They may want to take a day off today."
Wen Ming opened the star calendar: "It is not a statutory holiday in the interstellar."
"...Indeed." Assistant Xu sighed, "It is worthy of what Admiral Wen can say."
"Some employees have appointments with their lovers on the Love Plot, some are preparing to propose today, and some are planning to run into their destined one on the street.
Everyone says that the Love Plot is very effective, and even if you make eye contact with a fish in the water, you can still be moved, haha..."
Special Assistant Xu's laughter gradually became stiff, and he adjusted his glasses awkwardly.
Isn't it funny?
The only sound in the office was the page flipping of Wen Ming browsing through documents. Assistant Xu also returned to the topic of work:
"General, I will send the progress of each department's plan for today to your computer..." "
Just complete the progress."
Assistant Xu was stunned: "What progress?"
"Departments that have completed their work can go home directly." Wen Ming explained, "Today's clocking in time will not be counted in attendance."
He looked up at Assistant Xu who was motionless: "Do you need me to repeat it again?"
"No, no!" Assistant Xu smiled, "I'll send a notice now."
He edited the content of the notice quickly, and couldn't wait to share this good news with the company's department group.
'Colleagues! Although the general is not interested in love, he has given us a flexible time to leave work, only for today, and quickly improve efficiency! '
"Assistant Xu."
Wen Ming suddenly said, and Assistant Xu's hands trembled in shock. The message that was originally intended to be sent to the ministers' group was sent to Wen Ming's computer...
Seeing Wen Ming open the computer to receive the message, Assistant Xu closed his eyes in despair.
How could someone do such a thing?
"You sent it to the wrong person."
"Sorry, I'll send it again." Assistant Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "Admiral, you just called me?"
Wen Ming's tone became subtle: "Are you also having a love affair?"
Could it be that the admiral wanted to test whether his mind was on work?
Assistant Xu carefully answered: "I have a date, but that was after work hours."
"Do you have a lover?"
"Well..." Assistant Xu suddenly felt that Wen Ming's tone was extremely familiar.
Just like every time Wen Ming consulted about the issue of raising mermaids, he revealed his clumsy and unspeakable secrets.
Special Assistant Xu reflected on the notice he had edited. The sentence "The Admiral is not interested in love" needs to be considered...
"Do you have someone you like?"
"I can't possibly like him... at least not that kind of like."
Wen Ming said this, and his expression was a hundred times more vivid than when he heard the word "love story".
Special Assistant Xu understood instantly: the Admiral hasn't figured it out yet!
"Are you sure you don't like him? How about this, I'll ask a few questions to test whether you are attracted, and you can use them as a reference to estimate your own situation."
"Okay."
Special Assistant Xu cleared his throat: "First, do you have an unconscious preference for him?"
Among a group of mermaids, his eyes were always on Mu Mu, thinking that he was the best-looking little mermaid among them, no, the best-looking mermaid in the entire planet.
Wen Ming stroked the pen with his fingers, hesitating: Is this the winner?
"Second, is your desire to protect him/her growing stronger?"
Wen Ming imagined someone trying to hurt Mu Mu, and the energy particles in his mind began to clamor, wanting to tear apart that imaginary person...
Double kill!
"Third, have you ever had an uncontrollable desire to possess him/her?"
Covering every inch of memory that Professor Yin had left in Mu Mu's heart...
Triple kill!
"Admiral, if you keep pushing, this pen will break!"
Assistant Xu wiped his sweat: "How about three questions? If you agree with two of them, it means you have feelings for him/her."
Wen Ming leaned back in his chair: "What if
you agree with three of them?" "...Just admit it, you've done it thoroughly." Assistant Xu said with certainty, "My suggestion is to confess today. The probability of success is higher if you confess during a love story."
It's not that Assistant Xu is eager to urge him. Among all the people Assistant Xu has come into contact with, Wen Ming is the most decisive.
When Special Assistant Xu was in school, he often read reports praising him on Starnet News:
"Admiral Wen, the strongest man in the spiritual sea in the past hundred years, the strongest wall of interstellar humanity"
"Wen Ming is both civil and military, and he boldly arranged tactics, defeating the larger force with a smaller force and driving away the Zerg that invaded the defense line"
Wen Ming later retired from the battlefield, and everyone thought he would disappear from the battlefield and focus on healing his spiritual sea injury, until he decisively changed his career and created a brand that suddenly rose to prominence.
Special Assistant Xu still can't forget the look he got when he saw Wen Ming during his interview at Wen's Company, which he had founded not long ago -
calm but stern, with the courage to decide everything without changing his expression.
No matter how many praises the news describes, they can't express one ten-thousandth of what he felt when he saw him in person.
In the eyes of Assistant Xu, Wen Ming is such a decisive person that he would not be held back by the step of "confession".
Unless... he likes someone he shouldn't like?
Assistant Xu looked at Wen Ming's gloomy face and asked, "Is the other person of the same sex?"
He understood from Wen Ming's silence: it's more than just the same sex.
"It's absolutely not allowed for minors!" Assistant Xu said solemnly, "Minors violate the Star Interstellar Law..."
"No." Wen Ming interrupted.
He turned to the top document: "Bring the design samples of the new product packaging bags."
Assistant Xu also returned to work in a second: "Received."
When there was only one person left in the office, Wen Ming turned on the computer...

A strange anonymous post appeared on the Star Network Post Bar.
The original poster: What should I do if I like my own mermaid?
1L: It's really not easy to see this kind of pet post on Love Story. The others are all showing off love and blind date posts.
2L: It's normal to like your own mermaid. The original poster's mermaid must be very
well-behaved. 3L: If there is a mermaid who loves to destroy the house, he will be obedient. The original poster, think about it, if you go home from work and see that the house is messed up by mermaids, what do you think?
4L OP: Cute.
5L: Uh, if the mermaid doesn’t listen, eats anything, and makes you spend a lot of star coins to treat it, will you be angry?
6L OP: Not angry, but sad.
7L: No, bro…
8L: You all didn’t say it harshly enough. What if the mermaid bared its fangs and pointed at your neck, threatening you to give it all the authority in the house, would you still be so tolerant of it?
9L: I’m dying of laughter. Is the person above filming a sci-fi movie?
10L OP: The authority has been given.
The following posts were filled with dozens of question marks.
37L: Give authority to a mermaid? Does the OP still regard mermaids as mermaids?
38L: Wait, I have a bold guess. The OP's "love for mermaids" is not the kind of love for the plot, right?
39L: Ridiculous! The OP and the poster above can add a contact number and go to a psychiatrist to talk.
40L: Is the OP very lonely in real life?
41L: You are the owner of the mermaid and love her as a pet. If you think there is a relationship beyond the relationship between owner and pet, I can only say that it is an illusion.
42L: Besides, mermaids are different from humans. They only have pond water and food in their eyes. In addition to the mating season and the need to reproduce, I think mermaids have no emotions at all.
...
"Admiral?"
Wen Ming's thoughts were pulled away from the post. He wrote a sentence at some point:
'Mermaids are different from humans.' '
He frowned slightly, covered the words with his hand, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Special Assistant Xu reported the progress of the work submitted by each department: "I have checked it all, there is no problem." "
Being able to leave work early" stimulated everyone's unlimited potential. Just in the afternoon, all departments completed their work ahead of schedule.
Wen Ming nodded: "You can go now."
"Admiral, you have worked hard!" Special Assistant Xu walked out of the office with a happy look.
The surroundings became quiet. Wen Ming moved his palm away, stared at the line of words, and whispered softly:
"Mermaids are different from humans..."
In the empty Wen's building, he repeated this sentence over and over again, not knowing who he was talking to.
"Ding!"
Wen Ming's computer popped up a prompt box: "The live broadcast room you are following, 'Mermaid Language Simultaneous Interpretation', has started."
Wen Ming clicked into the live broadcast room.
The barrage of comments was filled with [Happy Love Festival], and the masked anchor turned out to be a "weirdo" like Wen Ming:
"Love Festival?"
[No way, the anchor just came out of seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests? How could he not know about Love Festival? ]
I haven't heard the master say that...
The masked anchor asked nervously: "Is it an important holiday? Will the workers have a holiday?"
[Maybe they will if they meet a kind boss. ]
The anchor breathed a sigh of relief: That's good, the master's black-hearted boss can't do this.
He started the live broadcast: "The method of selecting the audience for the live broadcast has been optimized. Two people will be live broadcasted each time, and one person will be randomly selected from the audience who received a small gift, plus the first place on the gift list."
[The reason for the optimization is that Qi Xuan was connected to the live broadcast last time, right? He must have done something. 】
【That mermaid expert has been taken away by the Interstellar Anti-Fraud Bureau, and Qi Xuan has also been dismissed by the Qi Clan. /Applause/】
【The competition for the gift list has started instantly, and the money-capable guys are working hard】
【The list is not good enough, so I can only send a flower to participate. /Wen Clan Blessing/】
【Why is it Wen Clan Blessing, shouldn't I forward the kinki? 】
【Now it's popular to post the Wen Clan logo, Wen Clan's competitors will always collapse on their own, Wen Clan is the god of luck in the interstellar! 】
"The audience we are connecting to now is randomly selected. Hello!"
"Hello, masked anchor." The man exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Shi is really the god of luck..." "
?" The anchor pursed her lips embarrassedly, "Can you say it again? I didn't understand."
【When I thought that the savior of interstellar humanity is such a cute little anchor, I am...even more excited. 】
【Why are you saying something my baby can't understand! Get out! Connect with me! 】
【Agree! /Jealousy makes me unrecognizable/】
The man waved his hand and said, "It's not important. I'll show you my mermaid first."
The screen was aimed at the mermaid pond, where there was a listless adult mermaid. It heard the sound, glanced over, and then closed its eyes indifferently.
"It has been like this for a while, and it has lost its appetite."
The man took out some snacks, and the mermaid tilted its head and screamed a few times, curling up into a ball.
"It's like this, it won't eat its favorite snacks. The doctor said it's not sick, so does it have a mental problem?" "
It thinks the same about you."
"Huh?"
The masked anchor said in a complicated tone: "It's questioning whether you are mentally ill and why you separated it from its little green baby?"
"Little Green?" The man tilted his head and recalled, "When I took it to the mermaid center, there was a green mermaid named Jade..."
The masked anchor clapped his hands and said, "That's right, your mermaid likes Jade!"
[The infatuated mermaid who "wasted herself away for her"! Contact Jade's owner quickly and let them meet again. ]
[The love season is here, even the mermaid live broadcast room is talking about love hhh. ]
The bullet screen assistant read out a piece of gossip: [Anchor, anchor, do you have someone you like? ]
"Yes!"
The masked anchor raised his chin slightly, as if to hint to the audience that the person he likes is the best and most perfect person in the entire star.
[I can't imagine how touching it would be if the anchor confessed with such a beautiful voice. /Smile/]
"Confession..." The anchor's pronunciation became vague.
But how can a mermaid say it?
Mumu has helped many mermaids translate. Will someone help him translate mermaid language to his master one day?
Just one sentence is enough:
'Every night when you kiss my forehead, the gurgling sound in my throat means I like you.'
