In fact, Li Yuan didn't understand why he washed strawberries here at 2 o'clock in the morning.

But being stuck by the little guy like this and refusing to leave for a moment, inexplicably made people feel a subtle sense of responsibility.

Especially after eating the first strawberry, the mermaid squatting by the pool opened its silver-blue eyes slightly, and even raised its snow-colored tail.

"Am!"

Pei Nian blinked and looked seriously at Li Yuan beside him, especially the sour strawberry in Li Yuan's hand, as if he had discovered a huge treasure house of points.

"delicious?"

Li Yuan obviously misunderstood the reaction of his family fish, and even glanced hesitantly at the strawberry in his hand.

Is it so delicious?

Strawberry, an ordinary fruit, can actually make the little guy look like he has eaten delicious food, which is really inexplicable and a little pitiful.

You must know that other mermaids in the interstellar world are often able to eat all kinds of wonderful food as soon as they are born.

However, facing Li Yuan's misunderstanding question, Pei Nian, who had just finished eating a sour strawberry, felt a few black lines hanging from his head...

But even though the strawberry was washed badly, it even tasted sour.

But if one can get 50 points, that would be wonderful, okay?

As long as there are points, is it unpalatable?

It smells so good. Thank you!

So Li Yuan kept nodding his head as he watched Pei Nian, and even took the initiative to grab the biggest strawberry and handed it to him for the first time, but couldn't help but take another look at this overly righteous fish.

This is the first time raising a mermaid, did I do too much?

It also seems important to cultivate the habit of independence in mermaids from an early age.

"Do you want to learn to wash by yourself?"

Li Yuan held the strawberry in his hand, which still had the warmth of Pei Nian's palm, and asked.

Wash the fish by yourself...? ?

Pei Nian, who was waiting to earn points, suddenly had several question marks in his mind.

Pei Nian almost wondered if this guy could hear the system beep, how could he be right with himself?

Did you mean it?

Under the temptation of points, Pei Nian did not hesitate to give up his ahem...dignity, and stretched out his hand to push the strawberry back into Li Yuan's palm.

"PAPA!" QAQ

Please this big guy!Wash one for your child, get 50 points for one cut!

However, Li Yuan at this moment is no longer the Li Yuan who "accidentally" broke his shell at the beginning!

Especially thinking about the little mermaid's behavior when climbing the stairs, Li Yuan gradually realized that his fish seemed a little too smart.

I don't usually call PAPA very much, but when I want to act like a baby, I will be very obedient.

Slightly pursing his lips, he looked at the "cautious" fish, Li Yuan didn't intend to compromise too easily this time.

After all, the mermaid who has just broken its shell may still need to be taught slowly to know what it means to be self-reliant.

"Try it yourself."

Li Yuan stuffed the strawberry back into Pei Nian's hand with a serious expression, which made Pei Nian stunned.

It's a good thing that Pei Nian couldn't hear Li Yuan's words from the bottom of his heart, "Efforts by oneself", or else he would have blown his tail.

By the way, he slapped an app task book in front of him to see who doesn't want to "support himself"!

Do you think Yuyu really wants to eat the broken strawberries you washed?

"Learn to wash by yourself, so that when I'm not at home, you can come down and wash strawberries to eat."

It's a pity that Li Yuan wanted to let the fish like Pei Nian understand the benefits of learning to wash strawberries by himself, even though this so-called "benefit" didn't affect Pei Nian at all.

And anyway, the game setting of this garbage app is also a marshal's mansion. If you don't get some sweet strawberries with cream, are you planning to test this fish on purpose?

Pei Nian angrily held the big strawberry he picked out specially in his hand, and stared at Li Yuan in front of him with almost condemnation.

Guys who don't give points are political enemies!

Do you know how much your fish needs points to survive?ah? ?

You have no idea!

Because you are nothing more than a hero who has everything going well!There will never be these troubles of small cannon fodder!

hateful! (The air is shaking and cold, but the mermaid cub is worthy of being a mermaid cub, even when he is angry, he is not fierce at all.

So Li Yuan didn't get the anger of Pei Nian's leaving at all, but was a little complicated by the "poor little appearance" of this fish looking up at him wetly.

Is this acting like a baby in disguise?

Li Yuan, who had never experienced "acting like a baby", fell into a kind of suspicion.

And just when Li Yuan felt inexplicably guilty from being stared at, the door of the kitchen was suddenly opened.

"Master, why are you here? Madam will be worried if she knows that you haven't fallen asleep at this point."

Butler Augustus led a group of people and finally opened the door.

After all, the young master's work and rest habits for more than ten years were suddenly broken, and as a housekeeper, he couldn't turn a blind eye anyway.

Especially the Marshal was away all the year round, and as mother, Mrs. Ailan often had to accompany her younger brother Li Luo out to see a doctor. Most of the time, Augustus, the old housekeeper, was by Li Yuan's side.

So Li Yuan also has some special respect for this old housekeeper.

However, when Augustus saw the somewhat unexpected scene in front of him, he was still a little dazed.

"Young Master... You are scaring this mermaid into tears?"

After a moment of silence, the old housekeeper asked a question in a complicated tone, which instantly shocked everyone.

Pei Nian was a little guilty at first.

After all, Li Yuan is also the male lead anyway, this NPC Augustus has written in the background information that the male lead is very important and exists like a relative.

I "coerced" the male protagonist to help wash strawberries, and was caught by the other's elders on the spot. Cough, no matter how you say it, Yuyu is still a little embarrassed.

After all, in front of the elders, Yuyu is still a good Yuyu!

However, how was this misunderstood as being "scared and crying" by the hero?

Pei Nian hugged Strawberry in a puzzled way, extremely innocent.

On the other hand, Li Yuan looked at the fish in front of him blankly, and then at the old housekeeper.

For a moment, even himself fell into a kind of silence.

This is probably completely inexplicable.

Do you want to explain that it's not that you are bullying this fish, but that this fish is too delicate and doesn't want to wash strawberries by itself?

Perhaps no one would believe this explanation, not to mention that it was impossible for Li Yuan to say such a thing.

"Young Master, the Marshal's Mansion has invited a professional mermaid breeding expert from the galaxy to guarantee that this mermaid whose shell has been hatched ahead of time will not disturb your daily schedule."

"It's really our fault for not estimating the time to crack the shell and causing you trouble."

After consciously slipping his words, Augustus bowed slightly and expressed his apology as tactfully as possible.

Although the two mermaid eggs were a gift from the Earl to the two young masters, to be honest, the young masters are weak and sick, and probably don't have the extra energy to take care of them.

And the young master has never been interested in such things.

Especially the eldest young master Li Yuan is now in the stage of differentiation, manic depression, restlessness, and violence are the basic characteristics that a quasi-Alpha will show at this stage.

Every day, the time spent in the mech training room is twice as long as usual, and I can barely fall asleep at night after venting off the excess energy.

How is it possible to have the patience to take care of a fragile mermaid?

Augustus suddenly felt a little lucky, but fortunately, he came at a clever time.

Such a cute little mermaid deserves good care.

For Augustus' apology, Li Yuan didn't explain anything, but instead looked at Pei Nian beside him.

"Are you going there?"

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan added: "They will arrange for someone to wash the strawberries for you, and you don't need to sleep in the bathtub at night."

Perhaps Augustus is right, professional things should be left to professional people.

It seems that it is indeed the most correct choice to hand over the little guy behind the back to Augustus and hire a professional mermaid breeding expert to take care of it.

And even if I can wash strawberries and feed them to him now, I won't be able to stay with this little mermaid most of the time.

Instead of making this clingy little guy cry later, it seems right to get used to it in advance?

However, for Pei Nian, as soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, the familiar system prompt sounded in his ears.

[Drip, it is detected that the completion rate of the daily task "Follow Foraging" is about to drop below 30%, please deal with it as soon as possible! 】

???

Suddenly, Pei Nian's whole fish went bad.

what happened! ?He was still talking about washing strawberries last moment, why is he planning to give himself away at this moment!

Although this old man does seem to be quite kind-hearted, he is much more considerate than Li Yuan, a big pig's hoof!

However, without points, there is no future!

And it's fine if you don't eat the strawberries, but you actually want to take all the tasks together?

The clownfish in my tank has only been in hand for a few minutes!ruthless!

So before Li Yuan could react, Pei Nian, who was beside him and refused to move just now, hid firmly behind Li Yuan for fear of being taken away.

"PAPA!"

But unexpectedly, he felt a soft breathing sound from behind his neck, and Li Yuan's whole body was a little stiff.

Subconsciously, he almost pulled out the running fish.

The Alpha differentiation period is gradually approaching, and Li Yuan will almost instinctively fall into an aggressive state after being touched on the neck.

However, the "PAPA" that Pei Nian yelled subconsciously plunged the scene into a subtle embarrassment.

Especially the old housekeeper Augustus, his expression gradually changed from initial shock to complex and implicit accusation.

But Li Yuan wanted to explain...but he didn't know how to start.

But there is no doubt that there must have been some kind of huge misunderstanding.

"It just saw me for the first time, when it broke its shell."

This time, Li Yuan tried to explain something, but Augustus's expression was not the slightest bit moved.

"Master, you should never coax a mermaid into calling you by that name."

"This will be very problematic for the formation of the mermaid's future worldview and subsequent education."

"Besides, you are an adult and unmarried. If other ladies from aristocratic families hear about it, the sensitive Omega will misunderstand you."

The old butler seriously expressed his dissatisfaction with his young master, while Li Yuan was forced to be firmly pressed against the glands on the back of his neck that were about to differentiate by the ignorant mermaid behind him.

Maybe from the very beginning, I shouldn't have touched that egg?

The boy was thinking about the problem of the century with a cold expression.
