After Ordos left, the two who were stunned by his words were still in a daze.

"Come back to your senses, Carrie, tell me about the situation here first. After all, I have been away from the Mermaid Center for a while, and I don't know if the specific arrangements have changed."

When they were in a daze, Ji Mingjiang had already passed them, came to the pool and squatted down, observing the little mermaids who were looking at him curiously.

Pushing away a little guy who came to sniff his fingertips, Ji Mingjiang turned his head and said to Carrie.

"Huh? Oh... ok."

"Then follow me to the side first, it's not convenient to talk about it here."

Carrie shook her head, and tried her best to get back to her usual working state. After responding to Ji Mingjiang's words, she turned her head to Qin Shasha and said, "Now please, Sasha, help us take a look at these little guys, butDon't make them choke while eating."

Qin Shasha agreed with a face of course.

Seeing that Ji Mingjiang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, sure enough...he is still very familiar with the painting style that he can't accept. It seems that he can guess it even if he doesn't ask, and it probably hasn't changed from before he left.

After leaving the room, you can see a spacious lounge through a corridor, and you can see the very warm layout inside through the doors and windows.

"This is the place where we usually rest. The layout should be quite comfortable, so let's talk about it inside. Oh, by the way, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, there is probably some food in the cafeteria that is still warm, and someone can help deliver it.” Putting her index finger on the doorknob, and hearing a "beep" in her ear, Carrie pushed open the door, beckoning Ji Mingjiang to go in first, and asked with some concern.

"I came with Crow, of course I ate everything, don't treat me like a child, Sister Carrie."

After looking at the room for a while, Ji Mingjiang randomly chose a soft single sofa and sat down, complaining very kindly and naturally.

Carrie was a little moved by these words, but at the same time quickly dispelled her tension caused by the change of their identities, she sat down on the sofa opposite him with a mocking face, "Seriously, OdoI was really taken aback when Mr. Si brought you in, the first thought in my mind was that His Majesty was deprived of matching qualifications and sent you back."

"Why do you think so?"

Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang looked at him dumbfounded, "I thought Cliles's behavior was quite normal recently, and I won't let you have this kind of misunderstanding again?"

"Hmm..." Carrie put a finger on her chin, probably because of her relationship with Jiming Jiang, and she also sent the communication to Clarice's optical brain several times before to request to follow her.During the video chat, Ji Mingjiang didn't feel much fear when mentioning Cliles.

After silently staring at the ceiling and thinking for a moment, she sighed and said annoyedly: "It can't be helped, although I usually watch the interaction between you and His Majesty, I also know that this is completely my stereotype, but for a whileIt won't be corrected for a while."

Originally thought that Ji Mingjiang would say something, but to Carli's surprise, when she turned her gaze back again, she saw Ji Mingjiang nodded in deep agreement.

"?"

"Don't look at me with such surprised eyes." Sensing Carrie's exposed emotions, Ji Mingjiang smiled helplessly and explained: "After all, I have seen Carrie's situation from the audience in my live broadcast room.Been there many times."

Even if he restrained himself a little after he pointed it out, Ji Mingjiang would still see some viewers discussing Cliles in the Xingwang forum.It can be said that it is exactly the same.

"Oh yes." When it came to the live broadcast room, Ji Mingjiang remembered what they were going to talk about when they came to this lounge. He felt that Carrie, who was completely unaware, should have much deeper doubts than himself, so he used this incidentThings as an entry point took the lead in launching the topic.

"I discussed it with Mr. Ordos last night. He said that I can continue to broadcast live in the museum, as long as I don't disclose the situation of the armed patrols outside. The regulations on the use of networked equipment should be changed soon..”

"Eh?!" Unsurprisingly, after hearing what Ji Mingjiang said, Carrie's eyes widened in surprise, and she said incredulously, "Did the dean change the rules so suddenly? II heard from the seniors that countless people expressed their dissatisfaction with this regulation in the past few decades, but the dean insisted on his own opinion and remained unmoved.”

Ji Mingjiang nodded lightly and said, "It's understandable. After all, Mr. Odos was very eager to protect the mermaid before. He and the deans before him all regarded the little guys here as mermaids.As with anything fragile, it’s natural to be more cautious when it comes to internet-connected devices that could put the mermaid completely under public judgment.”

Hearing this, Carrie's heart, who automatically checked into her seat, suddenly beat violently, her eyelashes fluttered twice quickly, her hands that were originally on her knees curled up slightly, and she grabbed the ironed trousers out of the way.folds.

Her intuition told her that there seemed to be another word coming out of Ji Mingjiang's mouth that would shatter her outlook.

She keenly grasped the key words of Ji Mingjiang's words, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Why do you use the word 'before' to describe Mr. Odos, and what do you think of the mermaid as a fragile product?"Yes, those little guys..."

Is not it?

If it is said that Carrie may not have such a deep understanding of mermaids before, then when she sent Ji Mingjiang away and took over a new little mermaid assigned to her, the difference between Ji Mingjiang became more prominentcome out.At the same time, the almost identical characteristics of the other little mermaids were also displayed in front of her.

——A creature that is fragile, soft, likes to act like a baby, and must be taken care of by people all the time to survive.

It is a completely different existence from Ji Mingjiang, and sometimes she even thinks that if a poll on the star network is launched on the theme of "Is Ji Mingjiang and the mermaids in public perception the same race", then voting "is not a race?"It is estimated that the number of votes for the "race" option will be far ahead of the other one.

"They...in theory, it really shouldn't be like this."

The voice from the opposite side dragged Carrie's sudden thoughts back to the warm room.

Ji Mingjiang used a flat but extremely convincing tone to help Carrie complete the whole process from the collapse of the Three Views to the reconstruction. The ability of the foster staff who has just graduated from university to accept new things is compared with others - hereEspecially Odos, obviously faster.Ji Mingjiang just picked up the sweet and rich hot cocoa on the table and took two sips. When the rich and mellow chocolate aroma was still lingering in his mouth, Carrie, who had just listened to his words and had a dull expression on the opposite side, made areaction.

The young caregiver, who has matured a lot after going through work and family illnesses in the past two months, suddenly slapped his thigh, and then looked up at him under Ji Mingjiang's dull gaze,His eyes are determined.

After taking a deep breath, Carrie looked at Ji Mingjiang with a calm face, and spoke loudly, "Don't worry Mingjiang, I will help you bring those little guys back on track!"

Carrie, who originally thought that she would be satisfied with a stable job as a childcare worker after graduation, realized after hearing what Ji Mingjiang said, although watching those little mermaids acting like a spoiled child to her every day would make people feel uncomfortable.Pleasant, but sure enough... Guiding those children to find their true self-realization and growth makes people feel more fulfilled!

"Okay, okay?"

Not knowing why the person on the other side suddenly became excited, Ji Mingjiang slightly trembled with the hand holding the cup, and then said hesitantly.

After Ji Mingjiang drank the cup of hot cocoa in one gulp, the two left the lounge one after another. When the door closed, the light brain on Carrie's wrist beeped twice. She looked down and exclaimed in a low voice.: "Ah! It was the notice sent by Dean Odos, saying that we will have a short meeting in the conference room in half an hour."

Not long after she finished speaking, Ji Mingjiang also received a message from Odos.

"Odos: I'll have a meeting in half an hour to talk about the changes in the relevant regulations and the breeders. Do you want to come?"

After Ji Mingjiang thought for a moment, he moved his fingers slightly, without avoiding Carrie's gaze, and simply typed a few words.

"Ji Mingjiang: I'll go there with Carli and Qin Shasha in a while."

"Let's go." After putting away the optical computer screen, Ji Mingjiang tilted his head at Carrie, and said, "Odos also sent me a message just now, and he asked me if I want to go to the meeting together, I said to talk to Carrie later."You go there together, after all, I don’t know the way.”

After hearing that Ji Mingjiang was going to join them in the internal staff meeting of the Mermaid Breeding Center, Carrie had some real feelings about the fact that the little mermaid she brought out would soon become her boss after only a few months without turning around.After shaking her head to get rid of the mixed emotions in her heart, she raised a gentle smile, sincerely feeling happy and proud of Ji Mingjiang.

After all, this also means that Mr. Odos really wants Ji Mingjiang to take his place, instead of giving Ji Mingjiang a idle job for the sake of His Majesty or someone else.

"Then after the meeting, if Dean Odos has no other arrangements, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here." After a brief chat just now, the estrangement between the two of them because they hadn't met offline for a long timeThe feeling had almost dissipated, and Carrie's tone became more relaxed at this moment, and she said while walking back with Ji Mingjiang.

Ji Mingjiang, who had been staying in the Mermaid Pavilion before and hardly observed the surroundings except the day he came in and left, naturally nodded without any opinion.

When she returned, Qin Shasha was putting away the dishes for a few little mermaids who had finished eating, and a gentle voice came from the room that was opened a little.

"Okay, okay, everyone, be good, give me the plate quickly, be careful that you will get hurt if you hold it in your hand..."

Reluctantly persuading him to drill into his ears, even after nearly two months, the words that are very familiar are still unacceptable. Ji Mingjiang waved his two ear fins in the air twice in disgust, and thenIt is about to fold down.

——Then he was blocked by Ji Mingjiang's raised finger at some point, and stopped on the spot.

The fingers warmed by the hot cocoa firmly pressed against his pair of ear fins that were too jumpy and active, and then stretched out the pair of curled up little things, sticking to the edge of the hair, and standing up.

Don't worry, you're still working outside.

A faint warning is issued from the brain and transmitted to the ear fins with strong self-awareness.

After feeling that the hair beside his ear was finally not moving around in the windless environment, Ji Mingjiang withdrew his hand, glanced at Kari calmly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, what I did just now was not noticed, otherwise a mermaid who is perfect in every aspect can't even control her own ears... It would be too damaging to the image if it was said!

Ji Mingjiang secretly ground his molars.

Fortunately, this pair of dishonest ear fins has not caused him any trouble or made him unable to step down. Otherwise, even if he himself would hurt, he would have to pull it up and down a few times.

"Tuk-tuk"

The knuckles of his index finger bent and knocked against the door, and after making some special noises to remind the people in the room that he was going to come in, Ji Mingjiang directly pushed open the half-hidden door.

Then, after seeing the scene inside, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although knew from Qin Shasha's words just now that she seemed to have encountered some difficult situations, Ji Mingjiang really didn't expect this scene to be so difficult to describe.

"What is he doing?" Ji Mingjiang asked incredulously, his tone raised slightly because of surprise.

The direction of the words was a little mermaid who was holding a plate in both hands and was in a confrontation with Qin Shasha.

This was obviously a juvenile mermaid.

——Of course, the infancy here refers to the real infancy in Ji Mingjiang's cognition, not the infancy in which he is forced to describe youth as infancy after various filters have been added.

The mermaid staring at a pair of big watery eyes and Qin Shasha stuck in a stalemate is even two times smaller than the stunted mermaids around him, and the rounded facial features are still very juvenile.Of course, what made Ji Mingjiang the most certain that this was a juvenile little mermaid and not some malnourished juvenile mermaid was...

The few white teeth he showed because he was holding the plate in his mouth looked very small, which is probably why Qin Shasha could only try her best to persuade her and did not dare to directly grab the plate.

——If this little guy's deciduous teeth fall out because of her excessive force, it will be really painful, painful, painful, and a punishment will inevitably be imposed afterwards.

"Hey, Xiao Ning let go, you haven't had time to grind your teeth yet, if you're not full, my sister will bring you a tube of nutrition cream in a while."

Because all the attention was on the mermaid in front of her, even though she heard the door opening behind her and knew in her heart that it was Carrie and Ji Mingjiang who had returned, Qin Shasha didn't bother to go back and say hello to them.

She also squatted by the pool with a sad face, persuading the little mermaid in every possible way.

Should we be thankful that although this little guy is very stubborn, he didn't lose his temper and tear her down?

Ji Mingjiang looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully, walked quickly to Qin Shasha's side, pinched the edge of the plate with his slender and strong fingers, looked at the man and the fish who looked up at him at the same time, and said: "Ibring it on."

"Ah... yes."

Thinking that it would be easier for Ji Mingjiang, who is also a mermaid, to communicate with this little guy, Qin Shasha hesitated for two seconds, but finally the idea of not wanting to waste time prevailed, and she stood up decisively and stepped aside.

Although I feel that the Ji Mingjiang I saw today is a bit awkward, but this should be the illusion brought to her by that black coat. She should be gentler to her own kind Jiang Jiang... right?

... It's strange!

Qin Shasha went to the stool next to her and began to beat her numb legs due to poor blood circulation. Then she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Ji Mingjiang with a probing expression, fingers hard, pullingPulling the plate and the mermaid behind the plate towards him.

"..."

Just now, Qin Shasha, who was thinking that Ji Mingjiang would be more gentle with her own kind or cubs, was blinded, and then she planned to get up and stop Ji Mingjiang's somewhat inappropriate behavior. Before she could stand up, she sawAfter disappearing for a moment just now, the friend who suddenly became high-spirited stood in front of him.

Looking at Carrie who was standing in front of her and casting a shadow in front of her eyes, Qin Shasha looked up in doubt, looked up very puzzled, and said, "Carrie, what are you doing in my way, get out of the way, Jiang Jiang just started to take care of me.The mermaid will definitely not get used to it, we have to teach him."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shasha stood up, stomped her feet, and planned to push Carrie aside, but unexpectedly, Carrie, who was always worried about the mermaid being bumped and injured, stood in front of her with a serious expression and shook her head.shook his head.

Qin Shasha: "?"

"Oh, don't go there, Jiang Jiang has his own ideas. By the way, although the dean will talk about it in a meeting, I'd better tell you first. Just now Jiang Jiang told me in the lounge..."

After thinking about it for a while, Carrie pulled Qin Shasha, who was worried and kept looking over there, aside, and recounted what Ji Mingjiang had said to her just now.

Qin Shasha's face was dull when she heard it, as if she had opened the door to a new world.

Although Ji Mingjiang didn't turn his head, he caught a glimpse of Kari pulling Qin Shasha aside from the corner of his eye.After observing the two exchanged a few times, although Qin Shasha was still a little worried, she obviously gave up the idea of blocking him, so he was relieved, looked away and looked down at the staring round eyes in the poolLooking at his cub.

The mermaid who was reluctant to be pulled over resisted a lot, its short and fat little tail fluttered vigorously in the water, and many splashes of water hit the shore, wet Ji Mingjianghem and cuffs.

"Tsk, let go."

The hem of the clothes that are not close-fitting is okay, but the feeling of the sleeves that are close to the wrists and sticking wetly to the skin cannot be called comfortable. Ji Mingjiang rarely felt some headaches, he shook the plate in his hand, switchedAfter the mermaid's language, he ordered.

The still young mermaid shook his head from side to side due to his actions, but he still stubbornly held the plate in his mouth. After hearing the familiar language, he was stunned for a few seconds, and hesitantly let go.

But while letting go, he stretched out his hand to hold the edge of the plate.

Ji Mingjiang: "..."

What a kid.

"You like this plate so much?" It was rare to see such an energetic little mermaid. Although Ji Mingjiang felt helpless, he was still somewhat interested.

Flipping his hands back and forth, after folding up the drenched cuffs, he held the plate in one hand and rested his chin in the other, and asked with interest.

The mermaid who was called Xiao Ning by Qin Shasha looked at him for a few times, then nodded slightly, and squeezed out a small "hmm" from deep in his throat.

Seeing this, Ji Mingjiang chuckled lightly.

This little guy is a bit interesting.

"Why?" he asked immediately.

Hearing this question, the little mermaid who was very stubborn just now stared at Ji Mingjiang blankly for a while, then slowly shook her head.

"I don't know, but I just want to."

After a pause, he added: "It feels very comfortable to bite."

When he said this, he moved his hand holding the plate, as if he wanted to put it on his face, but he was probably worried that his hand would not be able to pull Ji Mingjiang, so he finally gave up on this action.

It's just that the little mermaid, who still doesn't know the fish's sinister heart, doesn't know that even if his entire fish body is lying on the plate, Ji Mingjiang can pull him over.

"come over."

Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang didn't miss the movement of the mermaid's hands when he spoke just now. After staring at his face thoughtfully for a few seconds, he pulled the plate, and with the cooperation of this little guy, putHe pulled it in front of him.

——Then caught off guard and reached out to pinch his cheek.

Not only that, after seeing the blue eyes of the mermaid named Xiao Ning staring wide in shock, Ji Mingjiang squeezed the index finger and thumb stuck on both sides of the opponent's cheeks slightly to the center, pinching the mermaid forcedOpened his mouth.

"Huh? Huangka?!"

Chen Ning, who had never been treated like this before, reacted in a daze for a moment, wagging his tail in dissatisfaction, trying hard to pat the white wrist of the person in front of him, so that his lower halfThe face is freed.

Damn, why is this mermaid who ran to the shore for some reason so big that he can't even touch it with his tail!You shouldn't let your guard down because of the comforting aura on this guy!

"Don't move, let me see your teeth."

While the mermaid was dissatisfied and struggling, Ji Mingjiang pulled out the plate with the hand that was holding the plate, and handed it to Qin Shasha, who was already staring blankly, and said, "There will be a meeting later, youSend the plate back first, and I'll see what's going on with him."

"Ah, yes."

The news from the back kitchen on the optical brain has indeed flashed many times, so although she was still a little worried, Qin Shasha took the last plate from Ji Mingjiang's hand and hurriedly left the room.

Seeing that his trainer and the plate had left, the mermaid who was still forced to pout and show the two rows of small teeth inside was obviously a little unhappy. Ji Mingjiang glanced at him, and the palm of his hand was very soft on his side very carelessly.After rubbing his hair, he withdrew his hand and concentrated on looking at the condition of his teeth.

After opening the mouth a little to the sides, his free hand floated in the pool, then reached into the mermaid's mouth, and probed the two rows of small teeth.

After retracting his fingers, Ji Mingjiang looked at the mermaid who gave him an annoyed look and swam to the opposite side of the pool without even caring about the stolen plate.After the drops of water, he stood up.

Sure enough, guessed right...

Receiving the questioning gaze from Kari, Ji Mingjiang raised his shoulders, shook some of the misplaced clothes back to where they should be, and then said with some novelty: "His teeth grow a little fast, and now he has reached the point of grinding his teeth."age."

"Eh? So early?!"

Carrie, who was worried about something wrong with the little guy's teeth or because she was in a bad mood recently and deliberately opposed the caregiver, was shocked.

"Yes, I also want to say that I thought it would be good for the current batch of mermaid teeth to develop normally, but there are still people who need to grind their teeth at such a young age."

When Ji Mingjiang said it, his eyes were a little inconceivable.

"By the way, what is the name of this mermaid? Is it Xiao Ning?"

"Of course not, his official name is Chen Ning, but he is still too young, so everyone just calls him Xiao Ning, which is more affectionate."

Ji Mingjiang nodded, turned around and waved to Chen Ning, who looked at him vigilantly, and waved happily, "I'll come back to you later."

"Let's go." When Ji Mingjiang turned his head, the expression on his face was still very relaxed, and he said to Carrie: "It's almost time, let's go to the conference room first, you can send Qin Shasha a message to let her go directlygone."

"Okay." Although she was a little confused, after glancing at the time, Carrie still listened to Ji Mingjiang's suggestion, clicked on Qin Shasha's contact information in her light brain and started typing.

[It's already ten o'clock, it's already ten o'clock, it's already ten o'clock!】

1L: It's already ten o'clock, and I've been squatting in the live broadcast room for an hour!Damn it, what is Jiang Jiang doing?!I just worked hard for a day, did you cut corners today?!

5L: Could it be that you were tired from skiing yesterday?

16L: I can do daily live streaming too!Hey, am I the only one who thinks the interaction between Jiang Jiang and His Majesty is also very good-looking?

17L: You want to say it's good!I am wise and have seen through everything.jpg

...

40L: It's half past ten, half past ten!what!

67L: I'm crying, I won't be able to wait today, why don't we ask our boss to advance the time of the ticket to today, I'll try to see if I can meet Jiang Jiang by chance QAQ

128L: Do you all think that Jiang Jiang is still traveling? Why did I hear the gossip that he and His Majesty have returned to Capital Star? Does anyone know what is going on?

159L: ???

After knocking out three question marks, Lin Nan, who had just finished an exam in the morning, quit the Xingwang forum and opened his friend list instead.

Inside, Ji Mingjiang's status display was just green online, and the online time was ten minutes ago.

The resentment that he didn’t even say hello to his friend after returning to the Capital Star with his arms in his arms. Of course, it may also be the resentment that he ran out to go skiing happily after suffering a lot of exams. Lin Nan pressed his fingers on the keyboard of the floating screen in front of him., the specially set keyboard newly crackled.

"Didi—"

Not long after the meeting ended, after standing up from the temporarily added seat next to the main seat, Ji Mingjiang had just finished the identification process. Looking at a group of foster staff who were still a little stiff facing him, Ji Mingjiang pretended not to notice anything.After smiling, he opened the door of the conference room first and walked out.

Sure enough, after he left, the meeting room with the door half-closed became lively in an instant, and his sensitive ears helped him catch several sentences of the discussion surrounding him.

It was at this time that the light brain's message notification sounded, and Ji Mingjiang pulled out the light brain screen while walking forward.

Lin Nan's news jumped out impatiently.

"Lin Nan: I saw people saying that you returned to Capital Star, so fast? Why didn't you tell us when you came back. [Forward the post] It's mentioned in this."

"Ji Mingjiang: Encountered some things, I was worried about accidents, so I came back first, and by the way, I went to work early."

"Lin Nan:?"

"Lin Nan: What's the matter... Forget it, if it's inconvenient to say it, you don't have to answer my question. I seem to remember that you mentioned work to us before, but you are not yet an adult.I remember it clearly! How come there are people who don’t even let the underage fish go! Who do you work for, I’ll report him.”

Less than a second later, the next message followed.

"Lin Nan: Your Majesty's side doesn't count. If you treat His Majesty's spiritual counseling as a part-time job, just pretend that I haven't said anything."

There was a chuckle between his lips and teeth. Although Lin Nan couldn't see the expression on his side through an optical brain, Ji Mingjiang still rolled his eyes and laughed for a while before replying to the news.

"Ji Mingjiang: I don't have a part-time job, and it's impossible to talk about providing spiritual counseling for Cliles so coldly. I've returned to the Mermaid Parenting Center, but it may be different from what you imagined."

"Ji Mingjiang: I'm about to replace Dean Odos and ask others to work for me."

I don't know if he was shocked by his words or what happened. After a while, Lin Nan's message came. The question marks on the screen fully expressed the doubts in the other party's heart.

"Ji Mingjiang: The specific reason has something to do with my sudden return, but it's not a big deal. Let's meet after I get off work. It's safer to communicate offline."

"Lin Nan: OK."

After replying to this message, probably because of the information revealed in his words, Lin Nan did not send any new messages, so Ji Mingjiang clicked on the post he forwarded again.

To be honest, if Lin Nan didn't say that someone mentioned the gossip that he returned to Capital Star early, he really didn't want to read it.

After all, most of the floors inside were screaming why he didn't start the live broadcast.

Um……

Ji Mingjiang touched his nose with a guilty conscience. This is beyond his control. After all, who would have thought that a meeting to revise some rules and regulations would take so long...Although most of the time was spent by OdosPush him out and let him answer the doubts and worries of those breeders.

Biting the bullet and flipping through the discussions, Ji Mingjiang finally saw the reply that caught Lin Nan's attention.

"Gossip..."

Rubbing his chin, Ji Mingjiang searched all the other posts and replies of this id in the forum, his eyes darkened, and his eyebrows gradually frowned.

Don't you have any trumpet with any record of posting and replying before?

After thinking for a while, Ji Mingjiang, who felt that it was not a big deal for him to guess here alone, skillfully forwarded this post to Cliles.

"Cliles:?"

Could it be that the question marks he received today were too many.

Sighing so, Ji Mingjiang sent the id of the trumpet just now, "I feel something is wrong, let's see if I can find the ip first."

If he could find out, he might hesitate a bit, but if the IP was covered up by someone using special means like those accounts the day before, then it would be Iron Wolf.

"Cliles: Got it."

"The federal people shouldn't be so stupid."

Accounts that have engaged in trouble several times in a row have a common feature or something.

The sleeves slid down to cover the light brain that finally calmed down, and Ji Mingjiang muttered softly.

Because she was familiar with him, Carrie, who was surrounded by a group of trainers after the meeting and asked various questions, was finally released by the crowd. Just after turning a corner, she saw Ji Mingjiang alone with her head down.talking about something.

He was obviously the first one to leave the meeting room, probably a few minutes earlier than her, but now he was in a position where he hadn't gone far at all.

Seen from the back, the mermaid whose height and demeanor can be described as a youth is still a bit thin under the cover of a loose black coat, and the soft silver hair slipped to the side as he lowered his head, revealing a section of fairnessOn the delicate neck, near the back of the ear, blue blood vessels are faintly visible under the swaying hair.

what……

Before walking out of the meeting room, Carrie, who was still holding the feeling of "the child grew up overnight", looked at this lonely and somewhat lonely figure, and suddenly felt a little annoyed and condemned for her thoughts just now.

No matter how you say it, Mingming is still a child who is nearly two years away from becoming an adult.

She took a few steps to catch up, because she remembered that Ji Mingjiang's hearing seemed to be very sensitive before, and she deliberately lowered the sound of her footsteps, and patted his arm suddenly when she was about to walk beside him.

"What did you say, Mingjiang?"

Ji Mingjiang had already noticed the obvious footsteps before Carrie patted her arm, although it could be heard that the other party was already trying to slow down his movements.

Therefore, he was not surprised by Carrie's sudden action, but what puzzled him was...the self-blame and worry in Carrie's eyes.

Um……

Ji Mingjiang recalled his actions after coming to the Mermaid Center this morning. It seems that there is nothing strange about it. Why did Carrie's eyes become like this again?

He just pondered for a few seconds so he didn't answer right away. When Ji Mingjiang turned his head to explain briefly, he saw Carrie's eyes that made fish scales stand upright compared to before.

"Wait..." Intuition made Ji Mingjiang stop him, but he was still a step behind, and his and Carrie's voices rang out at the same time.

"Mingjiang don't worry, they are just because they are not familiar with you and you have a relationship with His Majesty and their identities that are related to themselves, they will be a little stiff and reluctant to let go when facing you, wait for you to stay here longerIt will be fine after two days to get acquainted with everyone..."

Hearing Carrie rambling to explain his words, Ji Mingjiang's eyes gradually became dull.

what!He just knew it!This ghost filter can't be taken off!

"Okay Carrie." Helplessly interrupting the caregiver who was too concerned about his mental state and emotional problems, Ji Mingjiang said, "I really didn't care about what happened just now."

Before the other party was about to say other worrying remarks, Ji Mingjiang changed the topic in time, "A lot of people have been urging me to start the live broadcast just now, so I'm going to go back and ask those little mermaids if they don't want to show up.If you are not very busy, Carrie, please go and apply for a teething stick for that little guy named Chen Ning."

Reminded by his words, she remembered what happened before they came to the meeting. Seeing that Ji Mingjiang's expression did not seem to be fake, Carrie nodded and pointed him to the room in the nurturing room.He left beside him and hurried towards the back kitchen.

Seeing Carrie's figure completely disappear around the corner, Ji Mingjiang heaved a sigh of relief, this is really a concern that Yu can't bear.

"I am back."

After deliberately making some noises at the door, Ji Mingjiang pushed open the door of the nurturing room. For a while, the sleeping mermaids floating in the pool all looked over in unison.After not following other familiar trainers, like children who started to have fun without their parents' supervision, they squeezed me and swam towards Ji Mingjiang.

"It's all here, what's the matter?"

The temperature in the room has always been kept constant. Ji Mingjiang took off his overcoat and hung it on the hanger at the door. He was only wearing a shirt just above the waistline of his trousers, and he sat cross-legged on the ground while swinging the camera ball and optical brain.asked without raising his head.

"Why don't you look at us?"

Youdao's dissatisfied voice resounded in the fish below, making Ji Mingjiang look up involuntarily.

The last batch of mermaids who stayed in the same pool with Ji Mingjiang should have been matched. At least Ji Mingjiang didn't see his familiar figure. After looking around briefly, his eyes locked on a blondeeyes of the little mermaid.

The color scheme is very similar to the sun, so the temper is also the same as the sun?

For this kind of tempered mermaid, he had to be more patient, so he put down the things in his hands, looked at the blond mermaid, and said, "Probably because I am a mermaid like you, so I won'tCare about you like a human breeder?"

"It's strange."

The first blond-haired mermaid who spoke to him curled her lips, her face full of disbelief, "If you didn't care about us, we wouldn't be colleagues with Sister Sasha and Sister Carrie."

Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang raised his eyebrows, "Okay, okay, you know a lot, so let's change the rhetoric, I won't spoil you like those human breeders? So what's the point of you all coming togetherWant to tell me?"

"There are some."

The other mermaids who had been watching their interaction before heard his question and came up to him one after another. They raised their immature or young faces full of curiosity, and many mermaids stretched out their hands and patted Ji Mingjiang's legs.And squeeze it lightly.

"It's strange, you are obviously a mermaid like us, aren't you? Why have you grown two legs like Sister Shasha and the others, and where is your tail?"

"Are you genetically mutated? I still have some impressions from the class I watched before. It said that many human beings are genetically mutated, so are you also genetically mutated?"

"I also want to ask! How did you become like this. Also, what does it feel like to walk on two legs?"

"..."

It was the first time to see a mermaid like Ji Mingjiang who was of the same race as their own but completely different in shape, and had an inexplicable difference compared with the breeders they usually saw. All the little fish cubs were very curious.up.

So when I saw him for the first time, I wanted to ask the question that I was holding back. If it weren't for the fact that Ji Mingjiang was playing tug-of-war with Chen Ning, they would have jumped on him at that time..

"Okay, okay, I know what you are all curious about." Various voices rang in his ears at the same time, chattering, so noisy that Ji Mingjiang almost couldn't help closing his ear fins, he patientlyAfter listening to a few questions, they quickly interrupted their questions.

"But before asking questions, isn't it better to exchange names first? My name is Ji Mingjiang. Except that you are not allowed to call me by my first name directly-this is very impolite to you. You can call me whatever you want.I already know that blue-eyed mermaid is called Chen Ning, how about you?"

"Um?"

After hearing his name, Chen Ning raised his head and looked at Ji Mingjiang, then remembered the hateful behavior of the guy in front of him touching his teeth, glared at him very angrily, and swam to his blond friend with his tail wagging.

"My name is Chen Yang."

Sensing the presence of Chen Ning who suddenly squeezed beside him, the blond mermaid turned to look at him suspiciously before reporting her name.

Ah, it really fits the feeling of this mermaid, like a sun.

Ji Mingjiang nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

"I, I, my name is Mai Xiwei."

"And me, my name is Devon."

"..."

After seeing the demonstration made by their companions, a group of little mermaids rushed to report their names.

"Okay, I've memorized it all, and now I'll tell you the answer." Ji Mingjiang nodded with a smile on his face, then raised an index finger and waved it in front of their eyes, satisfying the curiosity of these little guys, said: "The answers to these questions are all unified."

"That isthis is a skill that mermaids already have. If you follow my requirements in the future, then when you are as old as me, you can also become human. At that time, you can use your own stepsTo measure and experience the world, instead of being transported around in a water tank, or if you want to go to the beach to let the wind go, you can only swim through a water pipe without any scenery along the way."

When Ji Mingjiang said this, he couldn't help remembering what he said when he was chatting with the mermaid named Carl when he was still in the mermaid center.

"How do we go out, hop around with our tails, it's impossible?"

"..."

Rubbing between his brows, Ji Mingjiang looked again at the group of little mermaids whose eyes lit up after hearing what he said.

Although don’t know why there are such a group of real juvenile mermaids among the mermaids, but it’s really helpful to give them pillows when they doze off.
