Chapter 515 Look, there’s a mermaid (3)
After successfully pushing the fish to the deserted beach, Yun Qian watched Muir return to the sea, swim back and forth in the water for a few times and then break out of the water.
Yun Qian watched Muir amusing himself on the beach for a while before saying, "I'm leaving."
After teasing a small fish with his tail, Muir turned around and swam toward the shore, "Why are you leaving?"
"I have to go to work. How can I buy ingredients to cook for you if I don't go to work?" Yun Qian looked at Muir funny.
She has become adept at understanding Muir's character. She is just a arrogant and awkward little fish who is soft-spoken but not tough.
Muir's blue eyes lit up, "The one last night?"
Yun Qian nodded.
"Then I can still go to your house?"
Yun Qian nodded, then shook his head.
The shaking of the head made the merman a little dissatisfied, "Don't shake your head."
Yun Qian laughed dumbly: "What I mean by shaking my head is that you can't just go to my house, otherwise I will have to change the door lock every time you come."
"........."
Muir expressionlessly used his fish tail to stir up countless bubbles under the sea water.
"Let's do this, I will take you home when I come to the shore." Yun Qian discussed.
Muir looked hesitant and accepted with some reluctance: "...Okay."
"Then you...will you come today?"
Yun Qian thought for a moment about what work was going on in the institute today, and after thinking it was nothing important, she nodded and said, "Yes."
---
The cameras in the institute are very strange these days. They will malfunction at a certain time in the night, and then inexplicably get better the next morning. As a result, no cameras can be used in the institute every night.
When this topic was brought up, Yun Qian, Nie Yu and other members of the mermaid research team were sitting in the conference room.
Yun Qian closed the cap of her pen and inadvertently glanced at Nie Yu, who was sitting opposite her. Nie Yu pretended not to hear anything.
The projection device projected the results of Arsenal's research during this period on the whiteboard.
"Based on the above results of our research, it seems that full moon nights will have a certain impact on mermaids. However, because the camera is out of order, we do not have images from the days of full moon nights, so we cannot directly conclude."
"Mermaids generally like to live in groups, with the exception of a few mermaids. Moreover, in the mermaid world, the hierarchy should be relatively obvious. The rest of the things need further study."
Yun Qian looked at the projection on the whiteboard thoughtfully.
The night of the full moon was the night when Asena escaped from the laboratory and went to Nie Yu's house, and the night when she had...that unspeakable dream.
After the brief meeting, a group of researchers came to Asena's laboratory.
After so many days, Arsenal has become accustomed to being watched by so many people. His eyes did not waver when he saw the researchers, and only after seeing Nie Yu did his eyes waver.
Yun Qian saw all this, only glanced at it and looked away.
The camera always malfunctioned at night, which should have been done by Arsenal. His purpose was to destroy the surveillance network and then go to Nie Yu's house and return to the laboratory early the next morning.
Looking at Arsena's calm expression, Yun Qian suddenly felt that this mermaid didn't look like he would come back on his own. Maybe Nie Yu had made a strong request.
Yun Qian originally thought that nothing would happen today, and planned to go and take the mermaid princess home after work. However, just an hour before getting off work, she was suddenly sent to the next city for on-the-spot investigation.
The research institute was short of manpower, so Yun Qian hesitated for a while and went anyway.
There will probably be a meal to coax the fish when I get back, Yun Qian thought.
A small collapse suddenly occurred in the mountain on the outskirts of the next city, revealing a cave full of ore. Because the ore looked strange and did not look like something that had been recognized before, Yunqian was sent there to collect some samples and bring them back for study.
It's an hour's drive from the institute to the next city, and it takes time to go up the mountain. The same goes for collecting samples. By the time he returned to the institute and put away the samples, the clock on the wall of Yun Qian's office had already pointed to eleven o'clock.
Eleven o'clock in the evening.
The wind blowing from the seaside has brought a chill. The fishermen living on the seaside have already collected their boats and the lights in the houses have been dimmed.
Yun Qian walked on the beach, her hair being blown by the wind, and a strand of hair stuck stubbornly to her mouth.
When I came to a familiar beach, there were no familiar fish lying on the beach, or lying at the junction of the sea water and the beach.
She stood for a while and thought to herself: It took too long for her to wait, so she went back to the sea.
Yun Qian didn't hesitate much and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, an angry and somewhat frustrated voice came from behind.
"Can't you... stand for a little longer?" Muir popped his head out of the water, "Obviously... I've been waiting for you for so long."
Yun Qian turned her back to Muir and raised her eyebrows. She turned around with an innocent face: "I thought you had left."
The fish's tail slapped the water, like a different kind of protest, and Muir said angrily: "It's obviously you who broke your promise first..."
"I promised I would come, but I came so late..."
"I've been here not long...I'm leaving soon."
Muir was so angry that he stopped looking at Yun Qian and kept muttering about the "crimes" Yun Qian had committed.
Yun Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"dare you laugh!"
The mermaid was so angry that she almost turned into a dolphin.
"Okay, today I was delayed because of something unexpected. It won't happen next time." Yun Qian said smoothly.
Muir turned his head and hummed.
……
It seems that no other mermaid in the sea has ever made Muir wait like this.
Because the girl's words came, Muir felt the emotion called anticipation for the first time in so many years.
So I waited here very early for people to come over, just waiting until the sun set from diagonally above to directly in front, then completely set, and finally night fell.
There was no sign of Yun Qian on the beach.
Muir jumped from the sea to the reef, and then jumped back from the reef into the sea again and again, but Yun Qian did not come.
Humans are not only villains, but liars, Muir thought angrily.
He didn't want to wait any longer, so he swam back to the deep sea as quickly as possible.
The sea surface in this area was calm for no more than three minutes, and Muir's head emerged from the water again.
Just wait a little longer. If Yun Qian doesn't come again, he really won't wait any longer.
After going back and forth for several times, the other fish in this area were almost stunned by Muir.
Liar, liar, Muir's fish tail slapped on the sea surface, and the fish below couldn't bear the anger of the "little princess" and scattered in all directions.
Just when he had reprimanded Yun Qian countless times in his mind, Yun Qian finally appeared on the beach.
Just as he was about to swim over, Muir stopped again, feeling that he seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, so he sank into the sea water, ready to see Yun Qian's reaction.
As a result, Yun Qian was about to leave not long after he stood, so he had to run out of the sea by himself.
……
In the end, the mermaid princess' anger was eliminated by two large bowls of "apology noodles" made by Yun Qian.
