can you stop thinking about it

After figuring out the ins and outs, little Ruan Yu determined to take care of Gu Xiuhan who lost an arm.

In fact, Gu Xiuhan's life is not inconvenient at all.

The dexterity and practicality of the mechanical arm are higher than that of the flesh and blood. For ethical considerations, the parliament even had to set up a cumbersome and unreasonable prosthetic installation review process to prevent some imperial citizens who are obsessed with mechanical transformation from turning their bodies into a "ship" Ship of Theseus".

Gu Xiuhan didn't need sympathy, but he thought that accepting help properly would alleviate Ruan Yu's guilt, so he simply cooperated.

The little cub barely stood on the washstand with its fish tail, trying to help Gu Xiuhan wipe his face.But as soon as Xiaopang picked up the face towel soaked in cleaning liquid, the fish tail swayed and lost his balance, and the face towel slammed onto Gu Xiuhan's face.

"..."

Gu Xiuhan silently wiped away the cleaning fluid that flowed into the neckline along his chin.

[Wipe well. ]

[next time……]

Gu Xiuhan restrained his thoughts.

[Continue next time. ]

Ruan Yu's reaction was slow, but no matter what, after helping a few times, she realized that she was doing a disservice.

And Brother Xiu Han actually lied about his heartbeat, and letting him go would be a disservice.

The little fish cub wilted again.

Therefore, the next time when the robotic arm was being maintained, Gu Xiuhan did not deliberately avoid Ruan Yu, but carried Ruan Yu to the maintenance table and asked him to observe the whole process of dismantling and maintaining the robotic arm.

The robotic arm can do everything, the only exception is to maintain itself.

[I need help with this. ]

[real. ]

Gu Xiuhan picked up tools with his left hand, and showed Ruan Yu how to use them with difficulty.

Ruan Yu's eyes were wide open, the light amber irises were clear and bright, reflecting the pattern of complex circuit components, a pair of big eyes did not blink, and the cheeks were so serious that they were holding back their strength, and there were two bulging soft flesh.

Ruan Yu is not very smart, and his thinking is slower than Homo sapiens children of the same age, but he showed an amazing learning speed when observing the structure of the mechanical arm.

In the final analysis, the moment Ruan Yu was fished out of the sea by the silent and cold steel giant, Ruan Yu was like a chick that accidentally fell on the giant whale, and regarded the back of the whale as his own world.

Therefore, he tried his best to run his slow thinking, stared at the tool sorely, and thought about hurting his head, only wishing that he could do something more for Gu Xiuhan.

For 16 years, Gu Xiuhan has been Ruan Yu's most important person and a part of Ruan Yu's life.

However, as much love and privileges as there are, people also bear as many responsibilities as they do.

The more ignorant and innocent you are, the more you should restrain the delusion that grows like weeds...

Do not tamper with.

……

In the second half of Ruan Yu's differentiation period, the problem of tail pain became more and more serious, from once in a few days to every day, and the attack time also showed a clear trend of prolongation.

The mermaid painkiller developed by the Military Research Institute was not effective. In order to save Ruan Yu from suffering, Gu Xiuhan went to the research institute when he had time.There was nothing else he could do, so he simply stood in the minister's office with a blank expression, using silence to put pressure on the drug research and development department, urging the other party to come up with a new plan.

"...Generally speaking, mermaids do feel uncomfortable due to the initial change in bone shape during the differentiation period." The minister read Ruan Yu's test report, frowned, and pointed to one of the numbers, "But the mermaid race has its own countermeasures. It will secrete a morphine-like biosynthetic hormone to relieve pain for itself, and limit the pain within the body's tolerable range... You see, his concentration of this hormone is completely within the normal range."

The implication is that theoretically the pain will not be so strong that it is unbearable.

"Ah."

Gu Xiuhan nodded, as if he had listened.

After a pause, he repeated, "Is there a new plan?"

minister:"……"

"Continuing to use a large amount of painkillers on the basis of tolerance is not good for the body..." The minister dipped his temples with a handkerchief and said carefully, "Generally speaking, as long as the hormone level is normal, it is recommended to be patient as much as possible." , or click, most mermaids are handled in this way during the differentiation period, no other plans are needed."

Between the lines, it seems to be euphemistically infiltrating the message "it's not that serious, it's just that you raised your family fish too delicately" to Gu Xiuhan.

Gu Xiuhan rolled his black eyes and glanced at the numbers on the inspection report.

Is Ruan Yu squeamish?

Some images burst into mind.

When Ruan Yu maintained the mechanical arm for him, he squeezed the tool for a while, and the tender white fingertips would be pierced with red dents.When Ruan Yu put down the tool, he would rub his fingertips, the conspicuous carmine was scattered, and the bulging fingertips were dyed into a powder... as if they had been sucked.

It is obvious that she is delicate and expensive.

Gu Xiuhan's Adam's apple slowly rolled, and he forcibly came to a conclusion——

Not squeamish.

Having said that, after the Ruan language differentiation period is over, I will go to school in a few months, and the ability to live independently should be cultivated.He can no longer pamper and pamper Ruan Yu like a cub like he did before, being there whenever he is called...

While Gu Xiuhan was thinking, a new piece of news came from his brain.

[Ruan Yu]: Brother Xiuhan, the tail started to hurt again, and this time I still have a little fever.

Followed by a little fish crying expression.

[Gu Xiuhan]: I'll be right there.

……

Ruan Yu's seizures were particularly severe this time, completely different from the previous ones.

Accompanied by the excruciating itching and pain, his body temperature rose steadily. When he sent a message to Gu Xiuhan, the heat was not too obvious. After a while, his body became hot.

Especially in the middle of the tail.

In Ruan Yu's increasingly confused consciousness due to high fever, the flexible long bone was like melting white wax, being pinched and stretched by the invisible force from the genetic information deep in the body, trying to reshape it into two bones suitable for walking on land. leg bones.

Heat is radiated from the core at the tail to the body.

The lake, which was originally at a suitable temperature, gradually became colder.

Ruan Yu dived into the bottom of the lake trembling.

The research institute is not far away, and Gu Xiuhan's aircraft can go on the special airway for the military headquarters, and he returned within ten minutes.

The artificial lake is as clear as glass. At the bottom of the lake, Ruan Yu obediently curled up the tip of his tail and curled up in front of the heater used to control the temperature at the bottom of the lake, like a human being warming in front of a stove.

He is half hugged and half pillowed on a white and flexible jellyfish. The gills behind the ears are constantly sucking water, driving the ear fins to shake. Spit out silver chain-like bubbles.

The air bubbles float to the surface of the water and break open with an even frequency.

"Gollum... Gollum..."

Like a string of little snores.

"... Ruan Ruan?"

Gu Xiuhan dialed the water.

Ruan Yu closed her eyes, shook her ear fins, and turned over.

Waiting to fall asleep.

The corners of Gu Xiuhan's lips curled up almost invisibly.

Resting more during the differentiation period is a good thing, but Ruan Yu's sleep is not stable, her eyebrows are twisted, and her flushed cheeks look cute at first glance, but they are faintly sick.

Obviously sleeping uncomfortable, still have to wake up and take some antipyretics.

"Ruan Ruan."

Gu Xiuhan raised his voice.

Ruan Yu raised his sleepy eyelids and woke up. He didn't sleep well this short time because his tail was hurting all the time, and his dreams were full of people beating fish.

He was burnt, and he swam to the shore like a drunk man, his face resigned to the rock on the shore, his soft flesh squeezed out of shape: "Brother Xiuhan, I want to go up, but I have no strength..."

"Ah."

Gu Xiuhan shook off a thick bath towel and wrapped it around Ruan Yu, then leaned over, hooked his back with one hand, and dipped his hand into the water to firmly hold the fish's tail, and took out the little mermaid and put it on the bench.

Her hair was dripping, and Ruan Yu shook her head like a puppy.

The keratinocytes of the mermaid have a special structure, and the water can't stick to the hair, and it can be dried in sevens and eights after landing on the shore.

"Don't shake it." Gu Xiuhan quickly pressed the little head with his eyes and hands, covered it with a bath towel, and rubbed it gently.

Fever is already a headache, and it's okay after shaking it a few times.

"Can you wipe your tail again?" Ruan Yu asked softly.

I don't know why, maybe it was a hint from instinct, he suddenly didn't want to let the fish's tail get wet.

From what this means, maybe after this attack, human legs can grow.

Ruan Yu is worried that he has to learn to walk when he grows legs. Except for knowledge in the spiritual field, he learns everything slowly, and he has to work twice as hard to achieve the same level of learning as Homo sapiens, so when it comes to what to learn, he has trouble .But when he thought about it, he would be the same as Gu Xiuhan in the future, Ruan Yu felt a secret joy in his heart again, the tip of his tail wriggled around like seaweed, as if shy.

Gu Xiuhan pulled two bath towels, put one under the fish's tail, and stroked the dense silky scales with the other, and finally knelt down on one knee beside the bench, unfolding Ruan Yu's sensitive fins one by one , carefully dipped to remove the drops of water.

After drying off her whole body, Ruan Yu asked again in a low voice, "Can you carry me to the bedroom to lie down for a while? I want to sleep in bed today, and I want to cover myself with a quilt...I feel uncomfortable, and I don't want to take a scooter."

Gu Xiuhan endured it, but he couldn't hold it back, he still raised his eyes to look at him.

Ruan Yu was well-taught, and he was used to being polite. He was used to using phrases such as "can you" and "can you" when making small requests, and his tone was soft, as if he had no temper at all, and it didn't matter how many times he refused. .

But if she was really rejected, Ruan Yu would sulk for a long time.

What's more terrible is that outsiders are nothing more than outsiders. If they are relatives in Ruan Yu's knowledge, then no matter how angry he is, he will not adopt tactics such as cold war, ridicule, and quarreling. He will only hold his stomach full of anger , continue to get along with each other politely.At most, when no one is around, they hide at the bottom of the lake and form a fish roll, silently wronged until deformed.

It makes people want to be spoiled and can't bear it.

Gu Xiuhan wrapped Ruan Yu tightly, even wrapped his arms in the bath towel to prevent Ruan Yu from clinging to his neck. After wrapping up, he hugged Ruan Yu who was full of question marks.

"I can't take it out..."

Complain quietly.

"You don't have to take it."

Make trouble out of no reason.

"..."

Brother Xiu Han has always been moody recently, so it's better not to mess with him.

Ruan Yu pursed her lips, wanting to earn some money, but held back, and honestly stood in a military posture in Gu Xiuhan's arms.

Ruan Yu usually lives in the man-made lake, and has his own bedroom, but he doesn't necessarily go to bed once a year, it's purely a symbol, not cleaned every day.

A little dust inevitably accumulated on the quilt cover, which was very rare, and if it was another person, it would probably not be noticed at all.

"There's ashes." Ruan Yu glanced at the quilt with disgust, and refused to lie down. After uttering two words, his lips closed tightly, as if he was afraid that ashes would float into his mouth if he said too much.

Gu Xiuhan had nothing to do with him, so he had to retreat outside the door.

"Can I go to your room?" Ruan Yu leaned weakly on Gu Xiuhan's collarbone, "I'm so sleepy, my whole body hurts from the fever, I want to take medicine and sleep..."

Having said that, how dare you not do it.

Want to keep distance, but retreat steadily.Gu Xiuhan had no choice but to carry Ruan Yu back to his bedroom and put him on the bed.After feeding the antipyretics for mermaids, Gu Xiuhan rubbed his tail for a while, and seeing that Ruan Yu was about to fall asleep in a daze, he tucked in the quilt and turned on the warm air, and quietly walked to the chair beside him.

I'm afraid that my own brother didn't work so hard.

Goose down pillows are soft.

Ruan Yu's slapped face sank a little, making it even smaller.

He was used to sleeping in the water, and his lips would occasionally move twice in order to blow out air. The moment he opened, he could see a little bit of reddish lip flesh on the inside of his mouth, reflecting a star of water.

Gu Xiuhan stared unblinkingly, his pupils were dim, even ten mermaids could not read what he was thinking.

however……

During the differentiation period, Ruan Yu's sensory organs that collect EEG signals can be stimulated, allowing him to achieve secondary development, and his mental power will gradually increase.

This is one of the unique characteristics of royal blood.

But 16 years ago, the only surviving royal family was Ruan Yu, and the Academy of Sciences had almost zero research on this aspect, so that even Ruan Yu himself didn't know much about it.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xiuhan slowly extended his hand towards Ruan Yu.

Use the back of your finger to trace from the center of the eyebrows to the tip of the nose at a distance of one to two centimeters.

Ruan Yu's breath was hot and damp, entwining his fingertips, tempting him to touch them.

but……

[enough. ]

Gu Xiuhan bent his fingers, clenched them into fists, and put them back on his knees.

……

Ruan Yu didn't sleep well.

In a daze, probably in a dream, he felt that the energy of the mental network had temporarily increased.

Within the scope of his perception, the colors of the spiritual bodies in the manor became more delicate, and the levels were clearer than before, and they were no longer just a mess of general emotions.

He can read more.

Among the many spiritual bodies in the manor, there was a group of strangely colored spiritual bodies that stood out, and its owner seemed to be not far from Ruan Yu.

It is agitated and restless, surging with a strong and hot mood that cannot be read in Ruan language.

It also sent out a strange EEG signal, endless——

[Will it be soft? ]

Is something soft or not...

Ruan Yu's ears felt hot and he didn't understand, but somehow he felt secretive and ashamed, and also a little angry. He struggled to shrink back, trying to avoid that scary mental body.

As if sensing Ruan Yu's resistance, the energy of the mental network suddenly dropped back to normal.

Everything went back to the way it was.

Ruan Yu fell asleep steadily.
