Lao Gong is a deep sea mermaid

Chapter 22. Washing hands for soup

"you are?"

Professor Yang turned around and looked at Ming Yuan suspiciously.

Ming Yuan's long silver hair is always conspicuous in the crowd, and now he is standing in front of Professor Yang, which is even more impossible to ignore.

But Professor Yang doesn't remember knowing such a young man.

"I belong to Gu Zhou..." Ming Yuan didn't know how to describe his current relationship with Gu Zhou.

Professor Yang saw the clue when Ming Yuan spoke.

All the old people came from their twenties, and many things about the young people are clear in front of them.

"You are Xiao Zhou's friend, what can you do with me?" Professor Yang asked slowly.

"I want to know about Gu Zhou's past."

"Why should you know?"

"He's always unhappy, and I want him to be happy."

Probably satisfied with Ming Yuan's answer, Professor Yang nodded and said, "If this is the reason, it's not a bad idea to tell you about his past."

The professors from Jiaotong University in Pelican City all left the observatory, and only Professor Yang stayed here, chatting with Ming Yuan in the submarine corridor for a while.

"Do you think that kid Gu Zhou is hard to get close to?"

The submarine corridor is a conch-shaped corridor that spirals downward and is thick at the top and thin at the bottom.

Because the deeper the sea, the more expensive the building materials need to be used, so this design will be adopted when the observatory is built.

When walking into the submarine corridor from the entrance, the platform under your feet can accommodate hundreds of people to move freely, but when it reaches the bottom, the corridor can only accommodate a few people to pass through.

Ming Yuan looked at the longevity fish swimming back and forth outside, and said, "He never mentioned his past to me."

"Then have you ever thought that the reason why he doesn't want to bring up the past is because the past is too painful?"

Professor Yang's words made Ming Yuan frown.

This is the second time he has heard similar remarks today.

Why are humans afraid of remembering?

What is past will never happen again.

Ming Yuan was thinking with his own inherent thinking.

"Humans have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Compared with other creatures, human beings have to avoid more harm. Genetically speaking, we Homo sapiens have inherited the gene that induces depression from Neanderthals, which in itself is Represents that humans are more vulnerable to emotional damage."

Professor Yang pointed to a shellfish adsorbed on a transparent material, and said: "Some people look indifferent and unreasonable, but his heart is soft. Maybe he doesn't deliberately exclude others, but he has a The enemy is living in his past, and he must defeat that enemy in order to break out of the bondage."

"What was his past like?" A sense of fear arose in Ming Yuan's heart, and he began to be a little afraid of knowing Gu Zhou's past life.

Because Professor Yang's words imply that Gu Zhou's past life was not good.

"I know only a small part." Professor Yang asked Ming Yuan: "I have taught a lot of undergraduates. Generally speaking, it is difficult for me to notice students who have not completed their master's degree. You know how I Did you notice Gu Zhou's?"

Ming Yuan shook his head.

Professor Yang smiled like an old urchin, "He has good grades but is always late. Of course, this is not the only reason. I noticed at that time that he often took a very cheap stomach medicine in class. It's the medicine I had when I was your age. To be honest, the medicine and pain relief effect of that medicine are mediocre, but it is the cheapest medicine of its kind."

Ming Yuan felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, "Why..."

He didn't ask further.

Why take the cheapest medicine?

Of course it was because I had no money.

Even though Ming Yuan has just arrived in the human world not long ago, he can still think of this reason.

He asked dryly, "Was he short of money before? Where are his parents?"

Don't all human beings provide for their children to study?

"He is an orphan." Professor Yang sighed, "I only found out later..."

……

Half an hour later, Professor Yang left the observatory.

Ming Yuan has also learned about Gu Zhou's life in college from this conversation.

Professor Yang has no way of knowing what happened before Gu Zhou University, he only knows that Gu Zhou is not a native of Pelican City.

The reason why Gu Zhou always took stomach medicine at that time was because the local dishes in Pelican City were too spicy.

And in order to save time and money, Gu Zhou always eats in the school cafeteria.

The taste in the cafeteria is of course more catering to the locals. In addition, Gu Zhou himself often goes to work in restaurants outside. The time when others are eating is usually his busiest time. Long-term irregular eating is also one of the causes of stomach problems.

Ming Yuan finally knew why Gu Zhou's appetite was always bad—he had a bad stomach, and he didn't like Pelican City's dishes either.

The interior of the observatory is closed, employees cannot go out for a long time, and the options in the restaurant itself are limited...

Ming Yuan left the undersea corridor with a heavy heart, and went to the dormitory area with heavy steps.

Since Ming Yuan stayed alone in the submarine corridor for a long time, when he returned to the dormitory, most of the people had already fallen asleep.

Ming Yuan sat alone on the sofa in the single dormitory, staring at the phone, not planning to rest.

Sea God himself does not need to sleep every day like humans, and Gu Zhou's stomach disease is more like a thorn in Ming Yuan's heart, making him restless.

In fact, he had completely forgotten that Gu Zhou's body was repaired after he got the mermaid heart, and the so-called stomach problems had long since ceased to exist.

The reason why Gu Zhou lost his appetite was because he didn't like spicy food, and because his mutated physique prevented him from eating every day.

Going to the restaurant to eat every day is just for show.

After all, it would be too scary for a person to go without food for two days.

However, Ming Yuan's concern was chaotic, Professor Yang's words made him mistakenly think that Gu Zhou's stomach problem was not healed yet.

Ming Yuan didn't realize that even though he himself was always puzzled by the habits of human beings, his own behavior was becoming more and more like a human being.

The answers returned by the browser are very cautious. Every doctor who answers the question about "chronic gastritis" will advise patients to pay attention to diet and state that this is not a serious illness.But almost every one of them said that this kind of chronic disease with little harm is often the most difficult to cure.

After removing those academic answers, stomach-nourishing recipes appeared more frequently.

If Gu Zhou had been here, he would have found that Ming Yuan's attitude was a hundred times more serious than when he was learning about oceanography.

"Yam, pumpkin, green beans..."

The sensor at the entrance of the observatory flickered quickly, and the employee who was on duty with Lao Fang at night looked at the entrance to make sure no one appeared, and couldn't help wondering.

"Is there something wrong with the instrument? I have to talk to the maintenance department tomorrow."

At the same time, Ming Yuan has already arrived at the living area near the beach and walked into a 24-hour supermarket.

Lord Poseidon was pushing the shopping cart, looking for yams and pumpkins in the vegetable section with a serious face.

He picked up a yam stick and looked at it for a long time.

The aunt who was shopping next to her couldn't help muttering, thinking this is a beauty pageant?

The aunt chooses what she wants to buy and prepares to check out.

But when she saw Ming Yuan's appearance that had never been in the kitchen, she still stopped in her tracks and asked, "Young man, what are you looking at?"

Ming Yuan shook the phone, "Why isn't it white?"

A plate of sliced ​​yam is displayed on the phone screen.

Aunt wants someone to help her pinch her.

She was both a little angry and a little bit dumbfounded.

But men who want to learn to cook, even if they don't know anything, are much more enlightened than those who wait to eat every day.

"That's chopped, who's freshly picked vegetables from the field can be like this?" The aunt glanced at Ming Yuan's mobile phone again, and said, "The partner is sick? Then you have to buy the yam over there, this is not right. Good for porridge."

Ming Yuan obediently followed behind the aunt.

"This kind of millet is good for cooking, and this kind of porridge is delicious..."

In the end, Ming Yuan walked out of the supermarket with big and small bags.

Big Mom got a small shell.

"Nowadays, children still have talismans...but the color is quite pretty. Go back and give it to my daughter to play with."

……

Ming Yuan returned to the single dormitory, unpacked the small pot he bought, and started to cook.

"Cough cough..."

From time to time, clanging sounds could be heard from the small living room that was temporarily used as a kitchen, and occasionally thick smoke would come out, briefly activating the fire alarm.

"hiss!"

Ming Yuan was burned to the hand again.

As a deep-sea creature, fire is of course harmful to Abyss.

Although ordinary flames would not seriously injure him, it would delay the healing of the wound.

By the time Ming Yuan made the yam porridge and pumpkin puree, there were already a dozen small scars on his hands.

It's a pity that the owner of the hand didn't pay attention to these at all, but excitedly left the room with the tray.

When Gu Zhou opened the door, he saw a sea god standing at the door, looking at him expectantly.

"breakfast."

Gu Zhou's eyes moved down, and he saw a tray, a bowl of porridge, a dish of side dishes, and...

A pair of scarred hands.
