Lao Gong is a deep sea mermaid

Chapter 27. Treat yourself to a drink

In the elevator, the atmosphere was so quiet that it was almost ambiguous.

After a few long seconds passed, Gu Zhou escaped from the elevator in embarrassment.

Ming Yuan looked at Gu Zhou's back, and pursed his lips, as if there was still Gu Zhou's warmth on them.

Gu Zhou, who had already rushed back to the bedroom, was sitting on the sofa blankly at the moment, lost in thought.

He didn't reject Ming Yuan's kiss just now.

But this time was different from the one in the submarine.

For a moment, Gu Zhou thought that his psychological problems had eased.

But as he sat here alone thinking, he knew that wasn't the case.

He still doesn't like the approach of other people.

Only Ming Yuan is an exception.

In just three months, he had already developed unprecedented trust in this person.

Gu Zhou didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

After all...he is not sure whether Ming Yuan can survive a year.

But this in itself is an unsolvable problem.

If both of them are not committed, Ming Yuan will definitely die.

If two people are too involved, as long as they are still close, Ming Yuan will not be able to live.

It must be a great blow to Gu Zhou to be moved by true feelings, but still be alone in the end.

Over the past twenty years of life, Gu Zhou got used to thinking about the worst outcome.

This is a very risky gamble.

Either both of them will be happy in the end, or one of them will die and the other will suffer for a lifetime.

There is a voice in Gu Zhou's heart reminding him:

It's too late to quit now.

Losing him when he wasn't that important is probably less painful than losing someone important.

However, as soon as he thought of Ming Yuan's face, the voice in Gu Zhou's heart disappeared.

He couldn't back down, because even now, he couldn't accept that Ming Yuan would die.

Although the liking in his heart is still shallow, he doesn't want to let the other party die for something that has not been confirmed yet.

Gu Zhou comforted himself, maybe creating a miracle is not as difficult as he imagined.

Wang Mingyu's end was a miracle to Gu Zhou.

It was the miracle brought about by that submarine accident.

If it wasn't for that accident, his body wouldn't have undergone so many changes, and of course he wouldn't be able to save Xia Ye from so many people, and everything after that would be even more impossible.

But now, Xia Ye is safe and sound, but Wang Mingyu has lost one hand, and suffered a sudden stroke of his own accord. For the rest of his life, he can only be a useless person who is paralyzed in bed and can't speak clearly.

Isn't this the cycle of karma and bad retribution that people expect?

These bullies should experience the despair they let the weak experience.

The desperation of being cut off, wantonly hurt, and covered with mouth and not allowed to speak.

Gu Zhou knew what this kind of despair was like, so when he knew that the perpetrator was experiencing this kind of despair, he felt a little gloating in his heart.

……

The next day, a group of people gathered at the gate of the observatory on time, and took a car to a famous hot pot restaurant in Pelican City.

"Gu Zhou! Can't you eat spicy food?" When ordering, Xiao Lin said, "Then let's order mandarin duck pot! A pot with mushrooms and a pot with butter."

Gu Zhou glanced in the direction of Ming Yuan, who blinked at him.

Do you remember such a small thing?

"Look at what you want to eat."

The menu was passed over, and when Gu Zhou picked up the menu, Ming Yuan leaned over, their heads almost touching each other.

Ming Yuan's fingers pointed to expensive ingredients, Gu Zhou ticked a few ticks along his will, and gradually realized something was wrong.

He glanced at Ming Yuan full of hints.

Don't you think it's too expensive?

After all, it is a dinner party for everyone, and the AA system is required at the end. It is also impolite to always order things that are too expensive.

Ming Yuan said in a low voice, "Today I am treating guests."

Xiao Lin quickly waved his hand, "No need, everyone works very hard, how can I let you get the money alone?"

"It's agreed before, I'll treat you."

What Ming Yuan was talking about was about choosing a partner.

"Oh! Yes..." Xiao Lin glanced at Gu Zhou guiltily, and didn't continue talking.

There are so many people now, although Gu Zhou has doubts in his heart, he is not ashamed to ask more questions after all.

The food was on the table quickly.

"hiss……"

I don't know who was careless when picking up the vegetables. A ball fell into the pot from mid-air, splashing a few drops of hot soup.

Ming Yuan was one of those who were recruited.

"Are you okay?" Xiaobao was startled when he saw Ming Yuan's arm suddenly turned red.

"It's okay." Ming Yuan pulled down his sleeves.

Lao Fang joked beside him, "Why does she look like a little girl, with delicate skin and tender flesh."

"You think everyone looks like you, with rough skin and thick flesh." Xiao Lin replied.

"What's wrong with rough skin and thick flesh? Pure men should be like this..."

The topic was gradually misleading by Lao Fang.

In the midst of this din, Gu Zhou's actions were unremarkable.

He put a few shrimp slips into Ming Yuan's bowl, and whispered uncomfortably, "You can tell me what you want to eat."

An arc called "Worry" floated in the air, but this time, Ming Yuan did not tell the truth.

It is normal for a mermaid to have red skin when being scalded, and Ming Yuan was not actually scalded.

He likes the way he looks when he is worried about Gu Zhou.

Although that sounds a bit bad.

"I want to eat pangasius."

"I want to eat green bamboo shoots."

"Want to eat..."

In the next hour, Ming Yuan's appetite was better than ever.

Gu Zhou was busy picking up food for him, and didn't notice other people's eyes.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of other people, pink bubbles have already started to appear on the two of them.

At the Observatory, Sister Qi, who was still working, suddenly received a message from Xiao Lin.

"Why didn't I know that Gu Zhou was so considerate before, woo woo woo, I'm so sore, today is also a day to cry for other people's love."

"What are you talking about? It's endless." Sister Qi shook her head, put down her phone and continued working.

On the other end, Gu Zhou and his party had already left the hotpot restaurant and went to the cinema.

It's a rare vacation, so of course it's impossible for everyone to go back to the observatory after a meal.

When sitting on the sky train, a group of people got together to choose movies and shows in advance.

"Let's watch the show at 03:30. We still have time to buy something to drink when we get to the cinema," Xiao Lin said.

What everyone finally chose was a fantasy romance movie, which is often classified into another conventional category—outsiders.

"What is Renwai?" Ming Yuan heard the vocabulary mentioned by Xiao Lin, and turned to ask Gu Zhou.

"It's a non-human species." Gu Zhou only explained the original meaning.

At this time, Kobayashi turned around and added: "When this word is mentioned now, it usually refers to the love between human beings and non-human beings."

Gu Zhou felt that a certain mermaid's gaze on him became deeper.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, Gu Zhou took out the mobile phone, and saw such a message.

"Why don't you tell me what you really mean?"

Gu Zhou turned his head and found that Ming Yuan had a smug smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, another message came.

"Are you afraid that I will think of us?"

No!

Gu Zhou turned his face away from the car window.

The phone vibrated again.

"What should I do? I will definitely think about it when I watch the movie."

Gu Zhou curled his fingers twice, trying to grab Ming Yuan's phone and tell him to shut up.

One bad thing about letting mermaids understand human civilization is that after Mr. Mermaid learns how to get along with humans, he will start teasing his teacher.

Gu Zhou's cheeks started to heat up, and he pretended to be calm and supported the half of his face facing Ming Yuan with his hands.

As everyone knows, the traitor ear has already exposed the master's mood.

Fortunately, the instigator knew enough was enough and did not make his partner more shy.

It's just that after arriving at the movie theater, Gu Zhou sat in the seat watching the movie, but involuntarily became nervous.

He knew how strong the learning ability of the person next to him was.

Gu Zhou looked at the advertisement before the opening and secretly prayed that there would not be too many romantic plots in the movie.

It's a pity that Gu Zhou's wish is doomed to fail.

As the most popular movie among couples recently, this fantasy love movie about a girl and a dragon must of course be full of romantic elements.

Occasionally, whispered conversations between couples could be heard in the movie theater, which made the positions of Gu Zhou and Ming Yuan unusually quiet.

Gu Zhou could feel Ming Yuan's gaze from time to time, especially when some romantic and shameful plots were unfolding, Ming Yuan would cast a curious glance.

Finally, when the two protagonists were kissing underwater, he heard Ming Yuan ask: "Do you like this too?"

"do not like!"

Gu Zhou's flustered voice was a little obvious in the movie theater.

In this way, until he left the movie theater, Gu Zhou didn't pay any attention to a certain Mr. Mermaid.

Ming Yuan touched the tip of his nose, realizing that he had offended someone.

In the end, Lao Fang proposed to go to the bar as the last stop of today's party.

In order to take care of his colleagues who have never been to bars, Lao Fang chose a quiet bar. In the past, everyone just listened to singers singing and had a little drink, and there were no too noisy activities.

On the way to the bar, several colleagues discussed the plot in the movie just now.

"I said, why do you little girls like to watch these things so much?" Lao Fang clicked his tongue and said, "It's not realistic at all."

Another female colleague said: "Real life is hard enough, let's give us a chance to dream when we are having fun!"

"Why doesn't that man need a chance to dream?"

Xiao Lin sneered, "Probably because you are living in a dream! Besides, men's fantasies are just different from girls'. Why do men not dream?"

"That's right, those war gods, son-in-laws, etc., aren't they dreaming? I don't know how many men on the Internet are clamoring every day to go back to ancient times! At least we don't think about three wives and four concubines when it comes to dreams!"

"I can't say no to you guys. Discussing a movie has risen to the level of morality. It's a dream, so why talk about morality..." Lao Fang was surrounded by several female colleagues, and finally shrank his neck and stopped talking.

"But speaking of it, why is this kind of theme so attractive?" Xiao Bao interjected at this moment.

Kobayashi thought for a while, "Hmm... Maybe it's a love that transcends the world! Compared with loving each other with the same three views, being in love with others is more like loving a soul rather than external things."

Hearing this, Gu Zhou finally came out of the previous shame, anger and depression, and turned to look at Ming Yuan.

In fact, Ming Yuan has mentioned to him many times that when a mermaid chooses a partner, they value the compatibility of souls.

Just like during the first restless period, Ming Yuan didn't know what creatures his singing would attract.

And when Ming Yuan saw Gu Zhou, the reason why he was fascinated may not be because of his appearance, but because of the trembling of his soul.

At least in Gu Zhou's view, when Ming Yuan faces other humans, he rarely finds them attractive or ugly.

Even the stars on the screen don't attract his attention.

Ming Yuan has never flaunted his appearance, what makes him judge a person is often his strength.

This shows that Ming Yuan himself has no idea of ​​the beauty and ugliness of human beings.

Or maybe the mermaid race is inherently superior in appearance to other races, causing Ming Yuan to not understand what is so rare about beauty.

While Gu Zhou was staring at Ming Yuan in a daze, the topic of several colleagues had already turned to their favorite Renwai movies.

"Edward Scissorhands and 400 Years of Surprise are both good-looking, but unfortunately they are too old."

"Gu Zhou, do you have a favorite movie? Something similar." Xiao Lin asked.

"Me?" Gu Zhou thought about it, "Maybe it's "King Kong"!"

A group of people fell silent.

It seems that the gentle and polite little brother likes to watch "King Kong" and so on, which is really quite a contrast.

What's more, the protagonist is a gorilla, which has nothing to do with Mary Sue.

"Why?" Kobayashi said puzzled, "Before you said it, I didn't classify it into this category."

"Didn't you notice?" Gu Zhou's eyelashes drooped because of his downward gaze, "Almost all extraterrestrial movies give the hero a human-like appearance, or the ability to temporarily become a human, which implies that one thing."

Kobayashi showed a meaningful smile, "I understand."

Her two thumbs are taped together, "suggesting that a relationship is possible."

"But King Kong's body shape has not changed from the beginning to the end." Gu Zhou raised his head, his eyes became firm, "Isn't this kind of relationship very precious? It can't get the other party's body from the beginning to the end, but it still has no hesitation. Protect each other with your own life."

Gu Zhou didn't know that when he said this, there was light in his eyes.

What he longs for is a love that does not take getting as the ultimate goal and never turns back.

It's just that Gu Zhou didn't realize it himself, and neither did the others around him.

Only Ming Yuan knew Gu Zhou's wish because he saw the arc called "Desire".

It's not that Gu Zhou likes being alone, he just hasn't met enough people who love him.

Ming Yuan silently remembered this point.

Although he believes that the condition of "not getting it" does not apply to him.

After all, the two people have different physiques...

It should still be possible...

Ming Yuan secretly glanced in Gu Zhou's direction.

In the past three months, Ming Yuan has found three types of things that Gu Zhou likes.

Protection of the weak, light food, and love without hesitation.

To Lord Seagod, although these three things are irrelevant, as long as it can make his partner happy, the others are not that important.

"Here we are." Lao Fang walked into the bar first.

Others followed one after another.

The moment Ming Yuan walked into the bar, it caused quite a commotion.

"The handsome guys are getting together today! There were two just now, and now there are two more..."

"The one just now looked too fierce... I don't know what's going on, but the eyes are a little scary."

"Isn't that all gone? Look at the one who just came, Baimao's eternal god!"

The harmless praise of those people in the bar did not attract Ming Yuan's attention.

What caught his attention was a young man at the bar.

Ming Yuan didn't have much idea of ​​the beauty and ugliness of human beings other than Gu Zhou, so what caught his attention was naturally not the young man's appearance.

Although by human standards, the appearance of the man at the bar is indeed rare, but what Ming Yuan sees is only the arc light around him.

The arcs around this young man are almost all sharp arcs representing negative emotions.

Before this, Ming Yuan had never seen any human with such strong negative emotions.

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhou saw that Ming Yuan hadn't moved for a long time, and he followed Ming Yuan's gaze while asking.

Gu Zhou saw a young man who looked 25 or [-] years old.

Under the dim light of the bar, the profile of the man looked unisex.

Seemingly aware of Gu Zhou's gaze, the other party also turned his head to look over.

The man's face is also perfect, but for some reason, Gu Zhou doesn't like the way the man looks at him.

Moreover, the face of the other party made Gu Zhou inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

At the bar, Jiang Yu, who was far away from Gu Zhou, raised his wine glass with a smile, and pointed in the direction of Gu Zhou to the bartender.

After Gu Zhou was seated, a waiter came over with a tray.

"The gentleman ordered you a martini."

The wine glass was placed in front of Gu Zhou, but Ming Yuan frowned first.

He thought that the waiter's gaze had some deep meaning, so he asked Lao Fang, "Does this thing have any special meaning?"

Lao Fang stretched his neck and glanced at the martini, and said, "Fortunately, there's nothing malicious about it, it's just a normal pick-up in a bar."

Ming Yuan felt that this glass of wine was very malicious.

He took out his mobile phone, searched for the meaning of the cocktail, and then beckoned to the waiter, asking him to send him a glass of B52 bomber.

Lao Fang watched happily from the side.

"You are too unfriendly, people just want to chat, why are you still swearing?"

Gu Zhou's eyes fell on the screen of Ming Yuan's phone.

"B52 bomber - get out of here."

Gu Zhou shook his head, secretly laughing at Ming Yuan's overreaction, thinking that he is a big man and has become a sweet potato, everyone likes it?

When he looked down, he noticed a small card pressed under the martini.

There is no name or address on the card, only one sentence written on it.

"We look like the same kind of people, please have a drink."

Similar people or something...

Gu Zhou recalled the face he saw just now, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He and that person are not at all like the same kind of people.

At this moment, the waiter confirmed Ming Yuan's order, and walked towards the bar with a stiff face.

It was obvious that the waiter also knew what the drink was about.

But before the cup of B52 bomber was delivered to Jiang Yu's hands, it was taken away by the other hand.

Qin Xiao frowned as he looked at the drinks brought by other men, picked up the glass and drank it down, and casually glanced in the direction of Gu Zhou's table.

When almost everyone saw him, their expressions tensed for a moment, only Gu Zhou and Ming Yuan didn't take this provocation to heart.

The two men at the bar whispered something and left the bar together.

Among them, the one who gave wine to Gu Zhou looked back at Gu Zhou before leaving.

After they left, Xiao Lin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so scared to death, why was that man so fierce just now? He looked like he was going to kill someone!"

"There are people like this in the bar from time to time, and it's probably because life is unsatisfactory." Lao Fang said.

"I always feel like I've seen that person..." Gu Zhou sank into the sofa and said softly.

"You know him?"

"I probably don't know each other, but I just feel familiar..." Gu Zhou found that his words were ambiguous, and added: "It is likely that I have seen them in news reports or other online platforms."

Xiaobao leaned over and interjected, "I think that guy is quite handsome, isn't he some kind of blogger?"

"may be!"

Gu Zhou did not continue this topic.

But he didn't agree with Xiaobao's words.

Gu Zhou himself is not the type to pay attention to entertainment anchors, he usually does not choose to watch live broadcasts as an entertainment method.

As for the technology articles that I read occasionally, if I don’t go through the photo album, who would pay attention to the blogger’s appearance?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered something.
