What can Ji Mingjiang say? He is here to treat people’s diseases. As a fish who swims in the water all year round, what’s there to be embarrassed about?

After seeing him nod in agreement, Leidon planned to get up and leave.

Now that he has confirmed that he can stay with the mermaid for a long time in the next few days, he doesn’t need to rush to spend time together now.

If it weren’t for the fact that there are usually some important documents in the study and there is no extra space for the mermaid to move about, Leidon really had the idea of letting the mermaid accompany him in the office.

“Then I’ll go back first. Tomorrow, after you move into my room, a doctor will give you a physical examination. You can first tell me the food you want to eat. If there is no problem tomorrow, I will have someone deliver a portion to you.”

Ji Mingjiang nodded expectantly.

the next morning.

The seven o’clock sunlight spilled onto the water. Ji Mingjiang’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. As soon as his eyes opened a small crack, he was almost blinded by the early sun.

The silvery, dark blue fishtail was lifted from the surface of the water suddenly, hanging over his sleepy face and casting a shadow.

The pipe connecting the indoor pool and the lake in the courtyard had been opened, and Ji Mingjiang swam outside smoothly. The deer that had seen him yesterday morning came running over and gently rubbed his face with its antlers.

“Are you a dog?” Ji Mingjiang was caught by this little guy right after he emerged from the water, and he said with a bit of laughter.

Probably because he rarely meets people other than his keeper in this area, the deer has been displaying an affectionate attitude ever since he saw Ji Mingjiang once yesterday.

Putting his finger on the wet nose of the sika deer, Ji Mingjiang used some strength to push the cheeky deer far away before starting today’s morning exercise.

Half an hour later, Ji Mingjiang, who poked his head out of the water again, caught sight of Clarice, who had been watching him for an unknown amount of time.

Turning his head and waving to the sika deer that was screaming “Yo Yo,” he quickly returned to the room.

mfn Uhhh I’m not sure if deer make that kind of sound.

When he came to Clarice, Ji Mingjiang took the breakfast in his hand, skillfully stretched out his sharp nails, and began to remove the bones.

“Why are you alone? Don’t you need to bring a few more people to help push the fish tank?”

Leidon looked down and saw the nails waving around in front of his eyes, which looked like they could be used as a murder weapon. After a pause, he said, without changing his expression, “There’s no need. My room is not far away. I’ll just carry you there.”

“Ka-cha”

Hearing these words, Ji Mingjiang’s hand shook, and the bone that was almost completely taken out broke directly in the body of the fish.

He raised his head to confirm that Clarice had a calm face, as if he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this sentence, and then he took a deep breath.

Very well, he seriously suspected that this seemingly reliable emperor might have a negative EQ.

Is there really any truth to the saying that IQ and EQ are inversely proportional?

“You carry me over?” He asked again, enunciating each word clearly.

Then he saw Clarice nod, making this fish choke.

After a few moments of silence, Ji Mingjiang picked out the remaining half of the fish bone and swallowed it before agreeing to the method as if nothing had happened, but he could still hear a bit of gnashing of teeth when he spoke.

Damn it, he definitely won’t be the one to feel embarrassed.

Anyway, even if he thought with his tail, the attendants in this palace must be most familiar with Clarice, not him!

Then Ji Mingjiang found out why an emperor like Clarice could propose such an idea without blushing.

There was not a single attendant on the way from his villa to the emperor’s chambers.

Those who mow the lawn, those who tend the flower beds, and those who take care of the small animals in the forest… It’s like the group overslept today, none of them showed up!

The one who felt embarrassed was only himself, who was picked up by the waist!

Ji Mingjiang’s tail slapped the hem of Clarice’s military uniform in embarrassment, and the light blue tail fin kept dancing in front of Clarice’s eyes.

“Don’t move around.” Leidon’s tone was still very steady, and his strong arms lifted the fish tail high. “Be careful of falling down.”

Leiden felt a little helpless. He wasn’t trying to scare him on purpose or anything.

He actually went to ask some friends who also have mermaids to help them with spiritual counseling before this, and the advice he got was that he could just hug him to places that are usually inconvenient for mermaids, which saves time and effort and can also cultivate feelings and improve tacit understanding.

But when he actually picked up Lance, he realized that he had overlooked the difference between the mermaid in his arms and other mermaids, especially the difference in weight.

Although it doesn’t make him feel strenuous, the slender and wide, beautiful tail is indeed pulling the mermaid down all the time, and the skin of the mermaid, who lives in the water all year round, is so smooth that most of his energy was spent on this matter of keeping the mermaid balanced.

Fortunately, his bedchamber was not far from the mermaid’s single-family villa. With the cooperation of the mermaid, Leidon finally put him in the swimming pool in his room.

Ji Mingjiang jumped directly into the new pool when he felt that Clarice was about to let go, and when he fell into the water, he quietly hooked his tail back and threw a few drops of water in the direction of Clarice in retaliation.

“At ten o’clock, a doctor will come to give you a physical examination. Before that, you can continue with the lessons you haven’t finished. I’m going to the study first, and I’ll be back by then.” Leidon didn’t mind his playful revenge. He took a step back to avoid the splash and spoke in his usual tone.

“Yeah, yeah, I got it. I got it.” Ji Mingjiang responded perfunctorily, and a string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.

It’s too strange. Ji Mingjiang, who usually doesn’t mind being surrounded by people or being by himself, urgently needs a separate space for him to forget the embarrassment just now.

He only emerged from the water to observe the room after hearing the sound of Clarice’s footsteps gradually receding and the final click of the door closing.

Surprisingly, it was somewhat cozy.

Ji Mingjiang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He originally thought that the bedroom designed by a workaholic like Clarice would be black, white, and gray, with all kinds of obscure and difficult-to-understand furnishing besides the bedding, but in contrast, it was full of vitality.

And the overall color of the room can be described as calm and cool, with a little untraceable liveliness.

Even the black-gray curtains on the balcony near him have small prints that neutralize the coldness.

I didn’t expect you to be like this, Your Majesty. jpg

After scanning the surrounding environment, Ji Mingjiang withdrew his gaze, turned on the light brain again, and continued his great cause of climbing the ladder.

He feels like he can almost finish the rest of the course today, and then he can ask Clarice to help him buy a new light brain to play games!

Ji Mingjiang’s eyes brightened at the thought.

When he tapped at the chibi villain in the mecha and watched the mecha bombard the sky ladder with colorful eggs, there were faint sounds of conversation and footsteps coming from outside the door.

The pointed ear fins fluttered slightly in the air. Ji Mingjiang straightened his body on the edge of the pool to look at the door.

In the next second, Clarice pushed open the door and walked in, followed by a man who looked like a doctor at first glance.

On the bridge of his nose stood a pair of thin silver-rimmed glasses, and his straight white coat was spotless, but he looked a bit thin and weak, almost a size smaller than Clarice standing next to him.

Then Ji Mingjiang saw the doctor, who was thin and elegant in his eyes, suddenly turn around after entering the room, then carry a case in one hand and pull in a half-door-high testing instrument with the other.

…

Ji Mingjiang looked at his movements with a dumbfounded expression and decided never to judge people by their appearance again.

The looks and personalities of the people in this place seem to be completely opposite.

Looking at the dumbfounded little mermaid in the pool, Lin Feng’s eyes behind the silver frame curved up and he said in a gentle tone: “Hello Lance, from now on I will be your doctor in charge. My name is Lin Feng.”

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes with a hint of disinfectant smell, Ji Mingjiang glanced at him but still held it.

Then his hand was pinched a few times before being changed to a posture of feeling the pulse.

“?”

There’s actually a Chinese medicine doctor? But it seems a bit unreliable for a Chinese medicine doctor to have so much hair.

Unaware of the shock in Ji Mingjiang’s heart, Lin Feng quickly withdrew his hand.

When facing Clarice, Ji Mingjiang felt an obvious change in tone. Lin Feng’s gentleness just now faded away, replaced with a grumpy expression of “Why are you so troublesome?”

“…I thought something happened to the little mermaid just after you tricked him into the house. After all, you don’t know how to take care of a mermaid. I didn’t expect this little guy to be quite healthy.”

In the end, the annoyance of being called over right after work in the morning has almost subsided, not to mention that it’s very pleasant to see a beautiful and well-behaved little mermaid.

But Lin Feng was still a little puzzled. “So why did you call me here? You also asked me to bring this detector over.”

Ji Mingjiang observed that Clarice first took a slight step back before speaking, “Help him check his gastrointestinal function and see if there are any major differences compared to humans.”

“What’s wrong? Is it because he can’t eat after coming here? Then you should reflect on whether you have done anything that has made him stressed, instead of looking at whether there is something wrong with his organs.” Lin Feng said unceremoniously, but the action of checking and starting the machine wasn’t slow at all.

“No.” Looking at his friend, who refused multiple recruitments after graduation and ran off to open a primary beastmen clinic because he liked it, Leidon coughed lightly and said, “It’s Lance who wants to taste human food, so I’m wondering how his stomach compares to a human’s…”

Before he could finish speaking, the reflex formed after years of war made him turn sideways without even raising his eyes.

Sure enough, a second after he turned sideways, the metal box that was still in Lin Feng’s hand came through the air, and the sharp wind whistled past his ears.

“Clarice!!! He said he wants to eat, and you actually agree?!” Lin Feng looked up from the detector, as if looking at an alien creature. “Lance may not understand because he’s a mermaid, but what about you?”

God, he was wrong. What made him think that Leidon would abuse or be cold and violent toward the mermaid? He spoiled him so much that he drowned his own brain!

Ji Mingjiang looked at Lin Feng, who got angry instantly, curled his tail silently, and exchanged glances with Clarice.

…Okay, this is going to get out of hand.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already finished debugging the machine. Looking at the thing next to him that was similar to the physical examination cabin he was in before, Ji Mingjiang supported the edge of the pool with both hands, raised his tail, and put himself perfectly into the tester.

He put his arm on the edge and patted the metal shell lightly, and the crisp sound attracted the attention of the two people next to him.

Looking at the mermaid who jumped in without help, Lin Feng’s forehead twitched. Just as he was about to say something, Leidon stepped forward, put Lance’s arm back, and then pressed the start button.

The sound of scanning and data reporting sounded. Lin Feng looked over with a dark face and heard Leidon say in a calm tone, “He wants to eat. If there is no problem with his health, of course I will meet his request.”

After all, it would be too miserable to eat that kind of fish for a lifetime.

“It’s his own idea, Lin Feng.” After saying that, he turned his head to look at the doctor, whose face was still a bit dark, and said, “You will be responsible for all his future physical conditions, so you should get to know his real physical data, not the data of other mermaids.”

“He’s different, trust me.”

Looking at his serious eyes, Lin Feng took off his glasses discouragingly, sighed after rubbing his forehead, and compromised: “Since you said so, I will. But I really didn’t expect that you would also say something like that.”

Leidon tidied up his somewhat messy military uniform jacket, looked at the instruments that were still producing data, and repeated what he said just now.

“He’s different after all.”
