Mermaid [Interstellar]

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

The third sister embraced the fifth sister without daring to breathe, and Erwin, who was originally smiling, also put away his smile.Fifth Sister's eyes were red, and she hiccupped from crying until she stopped hiccupping.

George, who had left originally, rushed over after hearing the news, and stepped forward to see off the guests.

The third sister was silent for a long time, and finally said bravely: "In that case, Pearl will trouble you."

Erwin took a deep look at Alice, and quietly exited the stagnant space.

Fifth Sister couldn't believe that Duke Alice said this directly without mercy.Before she could say a few more words, Third Sister dragged her away forcefully.

"Come on, go see Pearl."

"Yes." George stepped forward to lead the way, and took the initiative to introduce Pearl's situation, "Dr. Julie said that it looks fine on the surface, and she said that if you are too worried, you can do a detailed examination in advance—the routine examination this year. The physical examination hasn't been done yet."

"She knows how to behave." Alice calmed down.

George smiled silently.

After asking Pearl as usual, Alice said: "Your sister has already left, you stay here temporarily, and leave with Dr. Julie when you recover."

Pearl looked up at Alice in surprise: "They haven't been with me..."

She paused, did not say the word "farewell" after all, and asked instead: "My sister, do you have any orders from Third Sister?"

"No, you should have a good rest." It should be your Fifth Sister who should tell you.

Alice came out of Pearl's room and bumped into Erwin who was beside her.

"Wait and wait?" Alice asked, this guy was probably waiting for her here early in the morning.

Erwin raised his eyebrows: "Are you a rabbit?" If you are not slippery, how could you bump into a stake on your own initiative?

"I don't think so, but if you set me up..."

Before Alice finished speaking, Erwin interrupted her: "Stop, stop, I don't mean that."

"It's up to you. Erwin, I believe for the time being that you didn't participate in this kidnapping," Alice straightened her expression, "but I think you'd better ask your best friend if he was involved in this matter, I hope he doesn't make my job more difficult, otherwise I'm really going to be taken like a rabbit."

Erwin smiled and said: "Look at what you said... Am I here? I can help you if you have any difficulties."

Alice gave him a cool look: "Just do your thing well, don't stretch your hands so long, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Oh." Erwin rolled his eyes, "But what if you really can't hold back your curiosity?"

"Where is your heart?"

"Of course it's in my chest." Erwin pointed.

"Oh, sorry I always thought your heart was corrupted."

Erwin: "..."

Erwin: "I just do business sometimes a little darker, but it's not that exaggerated, Alice, I don't like what you say."

"It's not just business." Alice didn't want to talk to this guy.

"Well, I admit that I shouldn't sell the weapons eliminated by the military to the Star Thief to bring difficulties to your work of maintaining law and order."

"anything else?"

Erwin stared at Alice: "Where are there so many?"

"I hope you don't give your good brother a blind idea," Alice rolled her eyes, "don't make any decisions behind my back, otherwise it will be difficult for me to guarantee that our alliance can continue."

Erwin laughed dryly: "I'm an only son and have no brothers. Besides, if you think the alliance between us is unstable, we can have a new connection."

"...For example?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

"Like getting engaged to me?"

"..." Alice was speechless for a while, with a strange expression on her face, "Where did you get the confidence to think that I would give up Cyril and choose you?"

"But you and Cyril have broken off the engagement, we need to conclude a new—"

"No need, I will fulfill my promise." Alice said with a cold face, "You don't need to think about anything else."

Erwin raised his hand: "Then can I ask a question? I promise it has nothing to do with Cyril."

"Go ahead."

"Have you reported the current rescue progress?"

"This is nonsense. If it hadn't been reported, the army would have sent troops to bomb it."

Erwin swallowed: "No, it's that guess—Philip wasn't caught by them."

"No," Alice said, "I'm not 100% sure, I won't say, although His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to be planning to pay."

Erwin: "...are you trying to save money or make money?"

"It's good to be able to earn a little, if not," Alice looked at Erwin's eyes that yearned for wealth, "...forget it."

Erwin lowered his head in disappointment, thinking that Alice would strike hard.

The two of them did their own things separately, and a peaceful afternoon passed like this.

The two met at the restaurant for dinner.

After eating, Erwin asked, "Why didn't the little mermaid come?"

George: "She's not feeling well. She didn't come out to eat. I've already had the meal brought in."

Alice nodded subtly, wiped her mouth gracefully, and was about to leave.

Erwin: "The little mermaid is also your guest anyway, won't you ask Alice?"

Alice: "Didn't you ask? George also answered."

Erwin was dissatisfied: "You are too careless like this, you should take the initiative to ask a few more questions, and take the initiative to see her."

"Are you going out of your mind?" Alice asked back.

"Haha, what am I going to do, that's too weird." He picked up a glass of wine and drank to hide his embarrassment.

"If you know it's weird, don't talk so much nonsense," Alice frowned. "I don't understand you very well. Ever since Cyril and I broke off our engagement, you've been acting weird. Do you want us to get back together or do you want to do it yourself?"

"Personally what?"

"You like Cyril and want to fuck-marry him yourself."

"Pfft——" the wine that Erwin drank was sprayed out, "cough cough...cough cough...are you kidding me?!"

Alice: "Generally speaking, people who are lying will try their best to cover up, the more true they are, the more they will try their best to deny it, and the reaction will be particularly violent when they are exposed."

Erwin: "..."

Alice looked at Erwin who closed his mouth with satisfaction, nodded and left.

"Damn it!" Erwin looked at Alice's back and slammed the table, "I was tricked by her!"

In this way, nothing can be asked, and every time the topic tends to go to why the engagement was terminated, Alice can always change the topic cleverly.

Erwin gritted his teeth, Mada!He couldn't believe he couldn't figure out the reason!

Cyril couldn't explain this clearly, and Alice's occasional reaction to that little mermaid was also very violent... If it was because of Yun Haixing, shouldn't all mermaids be treated equally?

But the attitude towards the little mermaid's sister is too bad, isn't it?

Erwin was puzzled and scratched his head in depression.

That night, everyone in the office fell asleep.

Pearl suddenly woke up in a burst of heat, the surroundings were quiet, and time seemed to stand still.In this suffocating silence, Pearl felt that she was about to suffocate.

Difficult to breathe, fever all over her body, she tried her best to make a sound to make someone open her mouth, but she couldn't make it at all.This is not in the water, she is a dehydrated fish, about to die here.

Her vision was blurred, and everything she looked at was foggy. She stretched out her hand and swept towards the bedside table indiscriminately. She seemed to have bumped into something, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

After the sound, the surrounding area fell into suffocating silence again.

It took a long time before Pearl remembered that he had a terminal in his hand, and he couldn't speak or operate by voice.She can only press randomly based on feeling, hoping to press a contact, anyone is good.

"On the phone..." Pearl vaguely heard the prompt from the terminal. This is someone connected, right?

Why is there no sound?

When she couldn't hold on anymore, she heard a knock on the door, and the smart sensor light turned on in response - the door was opened, and a vague figure ran in panting.

When Pearl woke up again, it was broad daylight.

"Wake up! Pearl is awake!" This was Dr. Julie's voice.

Pearl opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Alice.The duke's complexion is not very good, his eyes are light blue and black, he looks at Pearl and nods: "Just wake up."

The Duke took a few steps back before Dr. Julie squeezed over, with a look of lingering fear: "Pearl, you scared me..."

"..." Pearl opened his mouth, his voice dry: "Sorry."

A glass of water was handed over in due course.

"Thank you." Pearl took it and took a closer look. The hand that passed the water to her was white and slender—not Dr. Julie's hand.

The Duke who personally delivered the water looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Pearl silently drank the water in the glass.

"Last night..." Pearl organized his words, raised his eyes carefully to look at the crowd, and wondered who the figure was, "Thank you..."

No one accepted the thanks.

Pearl: "..."

As soon as she raised her hand to rub the sore corner of the sun, Dr. Julie raised her voice and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Pearl?"

Reluctantly letting go, Pearl said, "I'm fine." He just felt tired.

"You said before that you were fine." His Excellency Duke lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes didn't know where to fall - anyway, he didn't look at the person she was talking to.

Subtext: Something went wrong.

Pearl: "..." How should she explain that physical sensation is a very mysterious feeling.

In any case, Dr. Julie breathed a sigh of relief when Pearl was able to wake up safely: "Pearl, if you feel uncomfortable, you must say it, and you can't bear it, or it will be too late when something happens. If it weren't for this time... "

Dr. Zhu Li suddenly silenced, paused and continued: "If it wasn't discovered early..."

Is it early?
