Mermaid Town
The words "Grandpa Mayor" stunned everyone present for at least three seconds.
It’s no wonder that others are shocked, but the word “grandfather” really doesn’t fit the mayor of Mermaid Town.
In the entire mermaid town, I’m afraid there is no other person or fish who dares to call the mayor like this.
They were all looking at the pink and white human cub in front of them in amazement.
Indeed, it is a cute little thing, and it even has a small Ultraman backpack on its back. I don’t know how it was abducted by Zhuang Mu.
Everyone's eyes softened inexplicably when they looked at Gu Lin.
Seeing Gu Lin, the Mermaid Town elder's face instantly showed some kindness. He was about to leave, but turned around without making a sound.
Gu Lin jumped off the scooter. The scooter was so short that his small body staggered and swayed when he jumped off.
The mermaid mayor reflexively stretched out his hand, but when he saw that the little baby stood firm and did not fall, he withdrew his hand.
He looked at the kid who shouldn't be here at this time and said, "Little kid, why are you here?"
Gu Lin was a small kid, mixed in with a large group of adults, all of whom were from the small town, and there was not a single player among them.
But the strange thing is that the little cub was not afraid at all.
Gu Lin was also looking up at the mayor of Mermaid Town, holding his rumbling stomach, and said in a baby voice, "I'm hungry. Brother Zhuang Mu, bring the kids over for dinner."
Hearing him say this, the mayor breathed a sigh of relief, then felt something was wrong.
He raised his wrist and checked the time.
It's not even eleven o'clock yet. The journey from the hotel to the hospital takes at least twenty minutes. And since we had to buy so many dishes on the way, it would take at least another twenty minutes.
By this calculation, the little cub probably left the hotel at ten o'clock.
Mayor: "Did you not have breakfast?"
After asking this question, the mayor himself rejected it.
This little guy was yelling about being hungry the whole way, and he wanted to eat the mermaid. But for no reason, when he arrived at the cafeteria and saw the food, he refused to eat.
Sure enough, Gu Lin tilted his head and said, "I ate it."
He eats a lot!
Mayor: “…”
The mayor raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Youmian.
Yu Youmian's expression did not change, and he signaled to a man in a white coat behind him, "Go check if there are any guests in the hotels who have woken up early."
The man nodded, turned and walked into the hospital.
Yu Youmian looked at the little ball for a while, his eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses were gloomy and his true emotions could not be seen.
Upon seeing the little cub, Mayor Mermaid remembered something and smiled again: "It's just right, Doctor Yu can also take this opportunity to see if this little baby is suitable for a little mermaid."
Upon hearing the mayor's words, the people in white coats behind Yu Youmian couldn't help but look carefully at the cub in front of them.
The more you look at this white and chubby little baby, the more adorable it becomes.
"There has never been a little mermaid in this town. If we can have a little mermaid, the Mermaid Festival the day after tomorrow will definitely attract the attention of all the distinguished guests."
“The Little Mermaid will definitely be the biggest attraction of the Mermaid Festival.”
Everyone was talking about it, and there was excitement in their voices.
Yu Youmian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and stated calmly and objectively: "The survival rate of mermaids is not high, and the larvae develop too quickly, so the tails can last even shorter."
Hearing him say this, the mermaid mayor just hummed and said nothing more.
The others sighed.
They discussed this topic blatantly in front of Gu Lin, and Gu Lin looked at them innocently, blinking his big eyes.
Look at his chubby little legs, how can he turn into a mermaid?
Why won’t the mayor give up?
Gu Lin looked at Yu Youmian...the white gloves on her hands, and then spread out her own white and tender little hands.
Then, he looked at the gold-rimmed glasses on Yu Youmian's face, raised his little hand, and touched his empty little nose.
He even tugged at his overalls and looked at Yu Youmian's white coat.
When he raised his head, he met Yu Youmian's clear and deep eyes.
Gu Lin tilted his little head and looked at him without avoiding.
He had seen in picture books that people wearing this kind of white coat were doctors.
Yu Youmian: “…”
Yu Youmian was the first to look away, looked at Zhuang Mu and said, "Since we have a little guest, let's go cook."
Zhuang Mu smiled and said, "Okay."
After Yu Youmian said this, he turned around and walked towards the hospital.
He took two steps, then stopped and turned around. He was stunned to see that the mermaid mayor had followed him with the little ball.
The meaning on his face is very clear, why haven't you left yet?
The mayor was busy dealing with a lot of things, but now he is not busy anymore. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since I have worked hard for the town for so many years, I should treat you to a meal once in a while, Doctor Yu."
Yu Youmian: “…”
The three words "old man" made Yu Youmian's expression crack.
*
Zhuang Mu went to cook. Yu Youmian walked into the hospital first, while Mayor Mermaid and Gu Lin fell behind.
The mayor's face softened and he extended his hand to Gu Lin: "Come, grandpa will take you in."
He stretched out his hand to Gu Lin, but Gu Lin was young and ignorant, so he also stretched out his hand to him without any suspicion.
The mermaid mayor's gray eyes lit up and he held the little baby's hand. The soft little hand softened his wooden heart.
An old man and a young boy walked into the Mermaid Hospital hand in hand.
The hospital looks like an ordinary hospital.
The medical staff passing by greeted the mermaid mayor one by one, and at the same time seemed to glance inadvertently at the little ball held in the mayor's hand.
Gu Lin let the mayor lead the way. He was not afraid of being stared at by others. He looked around curiously with his big eyes.
His little hand could only hold two fingers of the mayor.
Gu Lin stared at the mayor's hand, which was completely different from his own. Suddenly, he raised his other hand and curiously pinched the bark-like back of the mermaid mayor's hand.
The back of his hand was suddenly pinched. The mermaid mayor was stunned and looked down at the little doll who pinched his hand for no reason.
Gu Lin didn't just pinch him, he also asked a very surprising question: "Grandpa Mayor, why are your hands and face like this? Why are your skin so wrinkled?"
Mermaid Mayor: “…”
The mayor was speechless for a long time after being asked this innocent question, but he did not take it seriously. He smiled and explained to the little kid: "People get old, and their skin gets old too. Grandpa Mayor is old."
Gu Lin tilted his head, not quite understanding.
After thinking for a moment, he pinched his white and tender little arm with his little hand, squeezed out the lines, and then showed it to the mayor: "Grandpa Mayor, Grandpa Mayor, look, my arm is getting old too!"
Mayor: “…”
This time the mayor was stunned for several seconds, then he was amused by the little kid and burst into laughter.
The laughter echoed in the somewhat empty hospital, attracting passers-by to cast their gazes.
The mermaid mayor laughed for a long time, pinched the little kid's soft little hand, and asked casually, "Little kid, where are your parents?"
Gu Lin said in a crisp voice: "I don't have any parents, Grandpa Mayor."
Since he had been without parents since childhood, there was no trace of sadness in Gu Lin's tone.
It could also be that a baby his age doesn't know how to feel sad about this.
The mayor was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are there no grandparents, either?"
Gu Lin shook his head.
Mayor: "Where are the other relatives?"
Gu Lin still shook his head.
The mermaid mayor couldn't help but sigh: "Poor little thing."
He sighed again, "Grandpa doesn't have any family either, he's all alone."
"?"
9527 and the aunt in the live broadcast room vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this topic, but they didn't know what was wrong.
Why is the mermaid mayor suddenly acting so pitiful?
At this time, Gu Lin had already followed the mermaid mayor and got on the elevator.
The mermaid mayor pressed the number -13.
Gu Lin only knew a limited number of numbers, and he didn’t recognize those with a negative sign in front of them. He only knew 1 and 3, but he didn’t recognize them together.
He didn't know where to go, so he just followed the mayor obediently.
Gu Lin patted the back of the Mermaid Mayor's hand with his other little hand and comforted him in a tender voice: "Grandpa Mayor is also a poor little guy."
I didn't expect this kid to be able to comfort people. The mayor smiled bitterly, and a trace of sadness inexplicably appeared on his wrinkled old face: "Yes, grandpa is old and pitiful."
At this moment, the mayor of the mermaid town changed the subject and said, "In that case, you can stay and be my grandson. I can become your family member. I will give you everything I have. You can eat whatever you want. If you really want to eat fish, I can also have someone breed some edible mermaids for you."
When Gu Lin heard this, he did not refuse immediately, but looked thoughtful.
Her little brows were twisted, and she seemed very conflicted.
The mayor saw that the kid was actually seriously considering staying, his eyes sparkled, and he continued to add: "If Grandpa really had a little grandson like you, he would wake up laughing in his dreams. This mermaid town will be passed on to you in the future. Grandpa will give you whatever you want."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was cursing.
【? ? ? 】
[Shit, I knew it wasn’t simple. He was beating around the bush and talking so much nonsense. Damn, it turns out he’s here to kidnap a child! 】
[Don't believe him, old liar. He never sleeps, how can he dream?]
[What grandpa? This is obviously a human trafficker]
[Come, repeat with auntie, human, human trafficker, son, human trafficker! 】
[Fuck, the kid doesn’t even know how to count, do you think he will know pinyin? 】
…
Gu Lin didn't pay attention to the comments from his aunts. After thinking for a while, he was still confused: "But, if I stay here to be the mayor's grandson, I won't be able to go home. If I can't go home, I won't be able to see my brother!"
After saying that, he spread his hands, with helplessness on his face, "What should I do?"
Mayor: “…”
Didn’t you just say you have no relatives? How come a brother suddenly appeared?
At this moment, with a "ding" sound, the elevator opened.
The mayor said unwillingly, "Grandpa will take you to see Dr. Yu's mermaid base. If you like any mermaid, I can catch one for you as a snack at noon."
