He and It

Now, he finally understood that there must be hidden mermaid blood in Jiang Mian's body, which made him subconsciously indulge and tolerate him.

...Well, maybe it has something to do with him being particularly cute.

Just a little bit.

[Then, you should be a mixed-race mermaid. ] Rapace looked at him thoughtfully, [Poor, how did you end up here without being discovered by those mainland residents? 】

Jiang Mian slowly regained some strength. He couldn't understand Rapace's emotional whispers, but he only knew that the mermaid seemed to be no longer angry. He murmured vaguely: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

"How did you get it?" Now that Rapace has discovered Jiang Mian's true identity, he is naturally a lot more tolerant of Jiang Mian's mistakes. After all, this is just a wandering bird that has not accepted any knowledge at all. The cubs educated by the Sea Clan naturally don’t know the consequences of stealing the royal family’s documents.

Jiang Mian gathered his strength and hurriedly explained: "This is Jiang, I mean, it was left behind by my adoptive father. The original copy has been destroyed long ago, and only a few photos remain. We call it the 'Slate Book'."

Rapace didn't speak. Jiang Mian peeked at his expression and said carefully: "I don't know how my father got it, but the time it was in the institute was almost the same as the time I was here. Long. My father spent a lot of time deciphering it and still got nothing. Now he is gone..."

Jiang Mian took a deep breath: "...With him gone, the responsibility of being in charge of it falls on me."

With his still weak fingers, he picked up the copy that fell on the ground, pointed at it and said: "According to my guess, maybe the previous research direction was wrong. It is not actually a type of text used for reading, but It is an instrument that produces sound. Just like a flute, when a person plays the flute, the gas vortex that collides with each other is generated through the damper, and the flute player controls the melody through the sound of the collision of the cyclones. I think, if it were replaced by a slate book, Replacing the air flow with water flow...can we explain the special features of the slate book?"

Rapace looked at him in surprise and praised: "You are very smart."

Jiang Mian's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "Did I guess it right?"

However, Rapace did not answer this question. He asked, "You said your adoptive father is no longer here, so where is he?"

"He's gone." Jiang Mian turned away and said softly.

Rapace frowned: "Where did he go?"

Jiang Mian was startled. He looked up at the merman, as if he didn't expect to get such a response. The young man looked at the mermaid for a long time and suddenly smiled.

In fact, Jiang Pingyang left in a hurry. Jiang Mian still remembers that there was no wind or rain that day, and the weather was mild. It was the most ordinary and peaceful day. The old man usually wears an old dark brown woolen coat. There is no ID card on the breast pocket, only an old fountain pen with mottled gold paint and an old cap. It was during lunch break, and Jiang Mian had no appetite. Jiang Pingyang ordered a large bowl of chopped green onion noodles with two poached eggs on top, one for him and one for Jiang Mian, but the one he had was only Once you take one bite, you can't eat it anymore or eat it.

That day, Jiang Mian waited in front of the emergency room for several hours, from day to night. He hated the Sigma Research Institute deeply, but at that time, he had to pray for it, pray that it could save his father's life and save the only person he depended on in the world.

But a long time later, he suddenly realized that in fact, a person's life is neither long nor short. Many people have already seen each other for the last time in their lives. Things in the world are unpredictable, and they are by no means unfounded.

Since Jiang Pingyang left, he had never put the words "death" and his adoptive father side by side, as if this way he could pretend that his last relative was still with him. From time to time, members of the institute who had returned from a long voyage would curiously ask, "Why isn't Dr. Jiang here?" when they saw him. At that time, Jiang Mian would calmly reply, "He is gone."

People who received this response, either sincerely or falsely, always said a word of condolences and surrender. Those who had a closer relationship would sigh and recall Jiang Mian for a while. What a pity. Why didn't Dr. Jiang drink the immortal water? What an outstanding and responsible person he was during his lifetime!

After Jiang Mian heard this, he just laughed in his heart. Maybe Jiang Pingyang was a good person, but the minimum standard for being a good person was that he had never taken the Immortal Water.

Now, Rapace looked at him with a serious tone and confusion on his face. Jiang Mian thought, maybe in the world of mermaids, death has always been such a straightforward and natural thing, with no need to cover up or use detours. In contrast, the greed born of human beings' reluctance to give up has even catalyzed the desire to cling to immortality. A deformed creature, what else can he use to cover up?

Jiang Mian slowly stopped smiling, and his eyes seemed to fall on an extremely far away place. He said, "He passed away three months ago."

Rapace's irises flashed slightly, and Jiang Mian sighed. No one in the institute could tell him these words, and he didn't bother to tell them, but facing the mermaid, he was able to let go of all his guard. , and told him: "To be honest, the death of my adoptive father was a really big blow to me. The moment I received the news of his death, I thought I was dreaming. But in the middle of the night, I suddenly had a panic attack. Caused angina pectoris..."

He smiled bitterly: "That kind of pain makes me feel like I have to leave with him."

The author has something to say:

Rapace: *dramatically breaks out of the water* You lied to me! You sneaky little thing, I should have known better that no human being could be this perfect! I want you to...

Jiang Mian: *Suddenly reveals his identity as a mermaid* Uh-huh!

Rapace: *Stuttering, stuttering* I want, I want you...*Looking around, I found that there are many people around, no matter what, steal Jiang Mian*

Chapter 11 King of Fruit Cores (11)

Three months ago, I had a panic attack and angina pectoris.

Rapace's long hair that was loose under the water suddenly stiffened, and his eyes became frozen.

"Humans also divide the days according to the alternation of day and night?"
