The Old Man and the Mermaid

Aigle felt that he needed to go to the hospital to see if there was a doctor who specialized in embarrassment.

But he personally knows that the problem still lies with himself—he will always lose face in front of Mr. Mermaid under various inexplicable and uncontrollable circumstances, or do some things that he thinks he is ashamed of.

After appeasing Mrs. Irene for a while, he returned directly to the lighthouse, and found the phone book he hadn't used for a long time, looking for the contact information of Professor Nice.In fact, very few people are using this old-fashioned phone book anymore. Most mobile phones are quite smart, and almost all the functions needed in daily life are included in a small terminal, such as Information such as mobile phone numbers is stored more conveniently.

However, Aigre still has the habit of using the phone book. Anyway, his own mobile phone is not very smart-he has been thinking about changing a mobile phone since a few days ago, just because the expenses in the past two days have exceeded his expectations , so it can only be delayed for a while.

Aigre put those few pearls in a locked box in his room.He is still not sure about the specific price of this thing, even if he wants to sell a few of them as a fund reserve in case of any accident in the future, it is best to understand the market first.

He lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and he was a little out of touch with modern society. After he went to university, he slowly integrated into the world of young people.

Almost every communication method Egreel had ever obtained was recorded in the phone book, so he found Professor Nice's email address and mobile phone number without much effort.After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to use e-mail to contact politely for the time being, and if he couldn't contact the professor tomorrow, he would try using his mobile phone again.

He wrote an email, relayed what happened today, still welcomed them appropriately, and asked about their specific itinerary.

Although the Nice professor didn't communicate with him too much, he has a very friendly personality and loves to joke with the students. He has almost never been angry in the past few years, and at most he will only be a little more serious in class.However, Aigre thinks that he should not coddle students like those few people today, so it is better to ask first.After all, it is not unheard of in the academy for students to take professors' materials and go out to pretend to be certain identities.

After doing this, he took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom to wash them well.

The weather has been very good these days, and there is no sign of rain, so the temperature has always been quite high, even at night it seems so cool.There might have been a fire in a small area in the emergency before, but the surrounding air became even hotter after approaching. Aigre was sweating all over at that time, and the fabric behind his back was almost soaked when he came back.

However, even though there are so many natural antecedents to testify, Eigre still thinks that the current situation is extremely embarrassing.

He really wanted to be friends with this foreign guest, and at this meeting shortly after meeting, he appeared in front of the other party in the most disheveled state.

When he came up with this idea, Aigle castigated himself - he was talking in his sleep, he has no clothes at all now.

Not only did he have no buttons to button, but he didn't even wear underwear.

...underpants again.

Aigre raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows a few times to cover up his rather tangled expression. After glancing at Mr. Mermaid from the corner of his eye, he realized that he had turned around quite understandingly.

So the young man decided to believe in the character and morality of this Mr. Mermaid, turned around and tore off the bath towel, and quickly put on his own clothes.

The mermaid never thought that Eigre would have so many weird mental activities, and he didn't know that in just a few seconds, this young man had already learned all the social etiquettes taught by the university professors and those described in several famous books. I recalled all the greetings and quotations from famous nobles.

He just finds it funny.

Human beings are quite rigorous in their perception of shame.This is probably because their social system is too complete, which makes them unable to be honest with anyone, firstly because it seems too vulgar, and secondly because human beings have desires.

The existence of hormones makes them have fantasies and desires for the opposite sex, so if everyone walks on the street quite sincerely, many people will probably do very embarrassing things.

...and possibly the same sex.

The mermaid remembered the few reports she had read recently and the novels she had browsed before.Although the number of mermaids is too small, there has probably never been an example of mutual admiration between the same sex, but this does not seem to be such a rare thing in human society.

The mermaid gentleman did not turn around immediately after making sure that the young man behind him had changed his clothes, but politely waited for Aigre to calm down his wonderful shame, and told himself that he had finished dressing, and then turned his head to look at the recovered man. Aigre with a natural expression.

He's actually in really good shape.The mermaid repeated the previous praise in her heart.

In human aesthetics, it should be regarded as a fairly healthy and attractive young man's physique.

After exhaling lightly, Aigre picked up the previous towel and wiped it on his hair, and said to the mermaid while wiping: "Sorry, Mr. Mermaid, I didn't expect you to come back today, so I didn't make any preparations." .Have you been here for a long time?"

The mermaid shook her head, sat down on a chair beside her, then put the forearm of one hand flat on the table, and looked at Aigre's... Pajamas, probably.

Aigre is now wearing quite loose clothes. The jacket only has three buttons in total, which can only block the wind at most, and the trousers are also very short.But it can be seen that the clothes are very comfortable, and they should be worn by humans at home or when sleeping.

The mermaid can't understand clothing. At best, he can only ensure that his aesthetics is similar to that of humans, because these materials are not needed in the sea.

Aigre quickly tidied up his not too messy hair.Speaking of which, he personally thinks that his hair is probably a bit long. After returning from the college, he only had a simple repair once in the barber shop in the town, and he has never taken care of it since then. Now the piece of broken hair on his forehead is almost covered. Shut your eyes.

Then he glanced at Mr. Mermaid's long hair.

"Sorry, Mr. Mermaid, this question may not be very polite...but I really want to know the answer - of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer." Aigre finally couldn't help asking, "Your This black hair...Although I don't know why you live in the sea and your upper body structure is almost the same as ours, but if your hair is too long, it should be quite a hindrance, right?"

In fact, he was right. If the hair was too long, it would indeed affect the daily life of the mermaid—especially when hunting.

...But the mermaids are not primitive animals without IQ, so although their lifestyle is not as convenient as that of humans, it is definitely not unscientific.Of course, things like hair need to be trimmed just like humans. Little mermaids will be taught by their parents how to take care of their hair and body scales when they are young.

It's just that after becoming an extremely powerful existence, the mermaid doesn't pay much attention to these things.He never relied on sight to hunt, and he rarely went back to the seabed where the seaweed was thick and dense. The current would make his hair scatter around, but it would not affect any of his actions.

It seems that it has been quite a while since he last trimmed his hair.After Aigre said this, the mermaid remembered this trifle in life that she had forgotten for a long time.

So he picked up the pen he had used before and wrote the reason to Aigre.

"You may not know the way humans communicate on the Internet, Mr. Mermaid, but I can guarantee that what I say is absolutely not malicious." After reading what the mermaid wrote, Aigre held back the smile on his face, looked at him sincerely and said , "Laziness is a disease, it is better to treat it properly if you have time."

Mermaid: "..."

He couldn't help laughing, but still decided to teach his increasingly loose-talking friend a little lesson.

After Aigre finished speaking, he planned to turn around and turn on the computer. By the way, he would chat with Mr. Mermaid about some interesting things circulating on the Internet recently.

——Then he was dragged by the long and powerful fish tail by his left ankle, and fell directly on the sofa beside him.

Seeing his obviously startled expression, the mermaid happily exerted some strength to raise his left leg, so that he had to turn upside down and lean on the back of the sofa.

"I was really just joking." Aigre couldn't hold back in the end, laughed out loud, and tried to lightly touch the fish tail wrapped around his left leg with his right foot. "The length of your tail is beyond my expectation-it is not described in our story books."

Because it is not used for decoration or just for swimming in the sea.The mermaid smiled and explained in her heart.

It is a weapon.

But after teasing the young man for a while, Mr. Mermaid quickly and gently put Aigre down.

After finally getting down on the ground, Aigre probably felt a little amused by the experience just now. He shook his head helplessly before standing up and sitting opposite Mr. Mermaid, and said, "I originally planned to invite you to browse our exchange website. But I'd rather hear about you now—would you mind sharing?"
