Ao Li was already busy, and he still had to take care of her three meals a day. She should go home quickly to avoid causing him more trouble.
Ao Li looked at the data on Shui Yiyao's wristband. A series of values were all green, which were indeed all normal values.
Seeing that the values were normal, his slightly furrowed brow relaxed and he nodded, "It's normal."
He removed the monitor from her wrist and placed it in the medical kit. He then took out a medicine bottle from the kit, poured a pill into the bottle cap, and handed the bottle cap to Shui Yiyao: "Stabilizer. Take it and observe for half an hour. If there is no problem, you can leave."
As he spoke, he stood up and went to the water dispenser next to him to get some water. After filling it up, he returned with the cup in hand: "Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Have breakfast before you leave."
Shui Yiyao took the water cup and said, "There are apples in the refrigerator, I ate them earlier. I'll leave quickly to give you some time."
Advising people to rest is meaningless; as long as there's always work to do, there's no rest. The best support is to not add to the chaos.
Shui Yiyao swallowed the medicine with the warm water in her hand.
Ao Li: "I can find time myself, you don't need to make time for me."
Shui Yiyao finished her medicine, put the cup away, and looked up at him: "Then why don't you find some time to sleep?"
Ao Li: "The research institute has two projects, and the group is also working on a new acquisition project recently. It will be fine once this busy period is over."
"By the way, where's Ao Yun? Why don't I help you?" Ao Yun was Ao Li's chosen successor, the son of the previous leader, Ao Li's brother. In the original novel, Ao Yun had a smooth career, with the Ao Group behind him providing considerable support.
Netizens also joked that if Ao Yun didn't take acting seriously, he would have to go home and inherit billions of dollars in assets.
Ao Li: "He wants to act. That's his dream."
"What dreams? These are his inheritances, so he should at least help out." Shui Yiyao frowned. For so long, Ao Yun hadn't done anything to help Ao Li. In the original novel, he eventually inherited the Ao family.
Ao Li: "He has been working hard in the acting circle and has a very good reputation. He has also improved the image of the Sea Clan."
"Bai Gege has also done it." Shui Yiyao was not very satisfied. Speaking of improving the image score, it was only to improve Ao Yun's own image score, and the sea clan was just a by-product.
Shui Yiyao spoke with a hint of discontent for him. Ao Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
He said seriously: "I won't give him any property in the future."
Shui Yiyao: "...I didn't say that."
Ao Li: "Your birthday is coming soon."
“……?”
"It's the day after tomorrow. Have you forgotten?"
Shui Yiyao's expression froze, then she lowered her arms from the edge of the pool, took a step back, sank a little, and sank the remaining part of her body that was originally above the water.
"...Yeah, birthday."
The original owner's birthday.
Ao Li: "When you first came for consultation, the birthday you filled in on your ID was a month earlier?"
“…”That was really her birthday.
Shui Yiyao didn't answer, so Ao Li asked again, "What birthday gift do you want?"
"No need for gifts." She answered immediately, and then completely sank into the water: "I'll go down and get something and leave as soon as I come back."
As she spoke, she wagged her tail and turned, heading towards the small underwater house.
Ao Li stood by the pool, looking at the golden mermaid swimming away at the bottom of the pool, with confusion in his eyes.
She really didn't want to celebrate her birthday, and was even a little resistant to it.
Why?
Shui Yiyao floated up from the bottom of the water after a while. She was holding a shell in her hand. It was a pink shell, which was the material for building her underwater house.
She said she wanted to get something, so this is what she wanted?
Before Ao Li could ask, Shui Yiyao said, "This is pretty."
Ao Li looked at her but didn't ask. He said slowly, "This morning, one of my research results was submitted for a research award. The results will probably be out by the end of the month."
Research award?
Shui Yiyao looked at him, her eyes shining: "Will you win the prize?"
Ao Li smiled, a little helpless, and shook his head: "No one knows until the results are out. After all, not everyone is as talented as you. Just by participating, you can win the gold medal."
Shui Yiyao smiled at him and said, "Of course. I think you can do it! Anyway, I wish you all the best! Win a big prize!"
"Okay, thank you." Ao Li smiled and nodded. "Pack up, I'll take you home first."
·
After returning home from Ao Li's manor, Shui Yiyao received a formal invitation from "Young Talents".
The show will not start recording until next Monday, so there are still a few days to prepare.
After communicating with the program team and confirming the itinerary, Sister Yu also called to confirm the situation with her.
"Yaoyao, Director Wang told me that he has already made an agreement with you."
"Yes," Shui Yiyao cleared the design drafts on the table and turned on speakerphone. "Everything's settled. The time and remuneration are agreed upon. We can sign the contract tomorrow."
Sister Yu: "That's good, that's good. I was just asking casually."
She spoke with a smile in her voice.
Shui Yiyao: "Sister Yu, why are you smiling so strangely?"
"I'm eating melon."
"What melon?"
"Didn't someone say before that you won the championship, but Mr. Ao didn't even send you a congratulatory message on Weibo. It must be a fake relationship between a wealthy family, right?"
Shui Yiyao was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, yes, didn't you read Weibo?"
"I didn't really read it...Before, I saw the congratulations that Bai Gege sent me."
"Yes, they said that Bai Gege had sent it, but Ao Li, as her fiancé, didn't even send a blessing. It must be fake."
"And then?" If that was all, Sister Yu wouldn't have laughed out loud.
"Then a design studio called Xi came out and posted a Weibo post wishing you victory, but it was signed by Ao Li. When someone asked him about it, he said it was because Mr. Ao had purchased their premium celebration package, which included an online blessing service."
"celebrate?"
"It's a custom-made studio that specializes in planning celebrations. Mr. Ao probably ordered a celebratory gift from them, and this online blessing was just one of the gifts."
Sister Yu said, curiously: "Don't you know?"
Customized some kind of celebratory gift.
Is this supposed to be a mask? The masks are indeed custom-made.
Shui Yiyao: "I know that. And then?"
Sister Yu laughed again: "Those who swore that you were lying before are all dumb now."
"Oh, aren't they just idle? They just talk nonsense without knowing anything. But... Sister Yu, are you also idle?" Paying attention to these things.
"I'm keeping an eye on you. You're going to be on that young talent show soon, so of course you have to keep your reputation up. You can't be on the show if your reputation is too bad. But I've seen it all, and your reputation is really good. Most of the praise is positive, and you recently won a gold medal... Hey, how did you grow up? You're so amazing! You're so young, and you won a national gold medal."
"It's okay. It's just okay."
"You are just humble!"
“…”
"Speaking of which, your birthday is coming soon, right?"
"Ah, yes."
"Xiao Bei insisted on taking a day off. He delayed filming a little longer every day and finished filming the day after tomorrow. He said he wanted to take the day after tomorrow off to be home with you for your birthday. It seems like he's already bought you a gift."
"Speaking of which, Sister Yu, your birthday is coming soon, right?" Shui Yiyao didn't continue the conversation and changed the subject.
"Ah, you still remember my birthday?" Sister Yu was very surprised.
"Of course." Shui Yiyao asked again, "Sister Yu, is there any gift you want?"
After continuing to chat with Sister Yu for a while and promising to give her a gift on her birthday, Shui Yiyao hung up the phone.
Sure enough, early the next morning, the golden conch she had been guarding rang.
He is the great elder.
She picked up the call and heard the voice of the Great Elder.
His voice sounded much more energetic than before.
"Grand Princess! Your birthday banquet has been prepared. As usual, it will last for a month, with the main meal on the last day. We'll have your favorite red seaweed! We've also invited members of the sea turtle tribe to be our guests..." The Great Elder explained the plans for the birthday banquet one by one. Finally, he suddenly lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Do you have time to come back? If not, we can find a way to send these birthday gifts to you on land, so you don't have to make the trip."
Shui Yiyao: "I will be back."
As a proper princess, she must show up for such an occasion. Moreover, she only needs to show up on the first and last day, so she doesn't need to be there for the entire month, which is not a big deal.
The next day, Shui Yiyao returned to the sea as promised.
The pollution of the oceans is becoming more serious and its scope is expanding.
However, compared to shallow-water creatures, the Holy Land was relatively deep, so pollution wasn't spreading quickly, and the seawater purifiers were still working. In some shallow seas, the purifiers were no longer sufficient, forcing them to migrate. Just as she had heard from Ao Li, some sea creatures had already been forced to leave their habitats.
No wonder Ao Li was so busy that he had no time to sleep.
The holy land now is different from before. Before Shui Yiyao approached the holy land castle, her eyes were dazzled by the red light in front of the castle gate. It looked like some kind of glowing fish, like a red ribbon, and it was floating slightly.
In addition to red ribbons, they also used mermaid tears to piece together a painting on the roof of the castle. It was a portrait of a mermaid, and the mermaid looked exactly like Shui Yiyao.
When Shui Yiyao swam over, she happened to see her own face on the castle.
The preparations were quite grand.
"Princess!" Seeing Shui Yiyao swimming over, the two mermaids at the door waved at her with smiles on their faces.
Seeing their smiles, Shui Yiyao couldn't help but smile too.
She waved to the mermaid at the door and swam over.
"Grand Princess!"
Shui Yiyao swam closer and was greeted by the mermaid at the door.
Shui Yiyao noticed that their attire was different from before. Before, everyone wore more plain clothes, but today they were all wearing rainbow colors. It seemed that the mermaids wore clothes for celebrations, and the more colors, the more festive it was.
The birthday party wasn't grand, after all, there were only about forty mermaids. It couldn't have been any bigger.
But after a long time, guests came to the tribe.
This was also the first time Shui Yiyao saw guests in the holy land.
The turtle tribe was specially invited by the Great Elder to come and wish her a happy birthday, as a gesture of respect for the mermaid princess.
