CH 28

TL: Hua

The test results are quickly displayed on the outside screen.

Before, Lin Feng did not know why Leiden would make such comments about this mermaid and even vaguely had the idea of handcuffing him. But when he finally saw the string of data in front of him, he felt that Leiden was very discerning.

“His body is very healthy, and the function of the stomach and intestines is very good. It may even be better than yours.”

Ji Mingjiang popped out of the detector at some point, put his arms on the edge, and listened.

Lin Feng pushed the glasses frame and glanced at the little mermaid, who seemed to be listening carefully to the analysis of his physical condition. Although he knew that the mermaid wouldn’t understand, the tone that was originally a bit provocative calmed down a lot in an instant.

After looking at the last item of data, Lin Feng turned off the machine and said after a moment of deliberation, “If he wants to eat, you can give him a taste of lighter human food first. If there’s no problem after this step, then adjust it to his appetite and preferences accordingly.”

Ji Mingjiang consciously jumped back into the pool when he turned off the machine, causing Lin Feng, who was about to reach out and carry him down, to twitch his lips.

After graduation, he treated batch after batch of mermaids and other primary beastmen. This is the first time he has seen such a strong subjective initiative.

It’s no wonder that Leiden, who was known for his insensitivity and outright rejection of a large number of tender boys and girls at the military academy, actually broke the rules and allowed a mermaid to heal his spiritual sea for the first time.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving first.” After packing up the pile of medicines that he brought but didn’t get to use, Lin Feng carried the box in one hand and the instrument in the other. After saying goodbye to Leiden, he shook his shoulders at the little mermaid who was watching him in the pool.

“Well, I won’t send you off.”

“Goodbye, Dr. Lin.” A voice that makes people feel refreshed after hearing it is…

Wait a minute……

Who the hell is this?

Lin Feng paused in his footsteps and was almost stumbled over by the heavy machine behind him. He looked back in surprise and saw the little mermaid, who he thought could not understand human language just now, waving goodbye to him with a smile on his face.

“No, what’s the situation? Clarice, you bastard, you’re not forcing him to learn the common language so he can communicate with you, right?!” The idea immediately came to mind, and Lin Feng, in the midst of excessive mental turmoil, directly asked without changing a word.

Then he was pushed out the door with the detector behind him by His Majesty the Emperor, who had a dark complexion.

“Hey!!” Putting one hand on his aching waist, Lin Feng undyingly shouted a few words: “Forcing a mermaid to study is against the law! It doesn’t matter if you’re the emperor! You better not let me find the opportunity to send you in myself!”

“Cough, Doctor Lin.” A familiar voice sounded, and when Lin Feng turned his head, he found the chief steward standing beside him with a benevolent face.

Why does it suddenly feel like he was cursing in front of a classmate’s parents…

Lin Feng, who has graduated for many years, picked up the medical box that he had put on the ground just now.

He still has some impressions of this old gentleman. During his time at the military academy, Leiden had always had a cold and reticent personality, and there were many conflicts and misunderstandings when he first enrolled.

Moreover, military students, especially those who have just entered school and don’t have to worry too much about their future, are basically not afraid of power and just want excitement. They don’t care about his majesty or the royal family. Coupled with various competitions within the school and the tradition of encouraging private training ground appointments, Leiden is often invited to participate.

In the end, it was through the recognition of Leiden’s own strength and the appeasement of this old butler that Leiden didn’t become an existence that everyone wanted to fight before he graduated two years early.

“Chief Steward Rowlett.” After greeting him, Lin Feng inquired about the mermaid’s life in the palace. “How is Leiden’s relationship with that little mermaid named Lance?”

Seeing what the doctor in front of him was worried about, Rowlett once again criticized Leiden’s behavior of not caring about his reputation, then slowly stroked his beard and said, “Little Lance has only been here for two days, but he seems to be very satisfied with the residence and the activity space arranged for him.”

“As for what you are worried about, don’t worry; His Majesty will not force the mermaid to do anything.”

Although he’s not sure what makes Lin Feng look worried, Rowlett has a good idea of what kind of character Leiden has.

“…” Frowning while looking at the door in front of him again, Lin Feng finally nodded and decided to temporarily give this old classmate of his some credit.

“Then I’ll go first, Mr. Rowlett.” He nodded slightly at the old man next to him, feeling that he had experienced too much in just one hour this morning. Lin Feng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, took his own things and quickly left this troublesome place.

Watching Lin Feng’s figure disappear around the corner, Rowlett knocked on the door of Leiden’s bedroom and reminded him: “Your Majesty, don’t forget your meeting in half an hour.”

“Understood.” Leiden’s voice came from inside.

He had just decided with Lance on the types of meals for today’s lunch with his light brain. The fish proposed the dishes he wanted to eat, and the human crossed out the dishes that he couldn’t try for now according to the doctor’s advice.

“The seasonings of sauerkraut fish and braised fish are too heavy. Wait for two more days.” After crossing out the few dishes that Mermaid had just selected with a grim expression, Leiden chose from the remaining dishes, “A crucian carp tofu soup, a tomato scrambled egg, and a plate of dried fried fish that you ate at the Mermaid Center, plus a bowl of rice, is that okay?”

Leiden, the former emperor who is now the waiter, placed his light brain in front of the mermaid with the dishes that he can and cannot eat.

Ji Mingjiang really has no objection to this arrangement. With tomato-scrambled eggs and rice, he’s fine even if he’s not given fish soup!

“That’s it.” Seeing him nod, Leiden sent the menu to the kitchen staff. After putting away his light brain, he asked, “Why did you suddenly talk in front of Lin Feng?”

“Isn’t that the doctor you arranged for me?” Ji Mingjiang glanced at him and asked back.

“If he wasn’t a trustworthy person, you wouldn’t have decided on him when we first met or even before we met. Since that’s the case, we’ll have to let him know sooner or later.” The emperor, who has no clan to support him but is sitting firmly in this position, should have the ability to judge people.

Moreover, he did not intend to stay in the palace for the rest of his life, nor did he intend to communicate with only Clarice in the future. What is the difference between this and imprisoning oneself?

Leiden gave him a surprised look and said, “As long as you know it in your own mind.”

“By the way.” Ji Mingjiang suddenly remembered the conversation they had before: “Have I not told you my name yet?”

“Your name?” Leiden was stunned for a moment. “Isn’t your name Lance…”

Wait, the mermaid seemed to say that his name was Ji something the night before yesterday.

“Ji Lance?”

“…” Ji Mingjiang looked at him speechlessly.

He can’t seem to get past this name.

“Ji Mingjiang, my name is Ji Mingjiang.” He simply asked for Clarice’s light brain” and entered his name in his contact information.

He was very straightforward and not at all worried that Clarice would doubt his identity.

It’s not like he’s missing this one suspicious point anyway.

Besides, isn’t it surprising that a smart mermaid would name himself?

Sure enough, Clarice just gave him a meaningful look, saying that he remembered it and wouldn’t ask any more questions.

“I’m going to a meeting. I’ll come back to have lunch with you at noon. Is there anything you want?”

He was referring to the various toys that were still in the original room. After all, the big scene of the toy duck surfing on the first night still left an indelible impression on him.

Ji Mingjiang does have something he wants, but it’s not a toy.

He recalled the progress of his course and asked, “Can you give me another normal version of the light brain?”

“Your class is coming to an end?” Leiden glanced at him, a little surprised.

It’s only been a few days, and he’s already finished studying?

However, their current communication is indeed very smooth.

Thinking of this, Leiden readily agreed to the request. There’s nothing to hesitate about if it doesn’t delay his study progress.

Two hours later, on the hovering screen in front of Ji Mingjiang’s face, a small Ji Mingjiang in a bachelor’s uniform sat on a cloud, with the sky ladder crumbling behind him in sections.

When only one person and one cloud remained on the entire interface, the phrase “Congratulations on your successful graduation” slowly appeared on the screen.

Ji Mingjiang happily dressed up the chibi villain. After clearing all levels, the clothes previously worn by little Ji Mingjiang are stored in a new wardrobe button, which he can change by clicking on different clothes.

He can even mix and match, like mixing a brown bear onesie with a star pirate suit.

Forget it; this is too much for the eyes.

The corner of his mouth twitched. Ji Mingjiang changed back to the clothes silently, and after observing them for the last time, he directly turned off the light brain.

He heard Clarice’s footsteps, and along with them came the aroma of food!

In the next second, Clarice pushed the door open with the tray in one hand.

Looking at the steaming fish soup, brightly colored tomato scrambled eggs, and a bowl of piling up rice. Ji Mingjiang felt tears welling up in his eyes. He wasn’t even this emotional when he accidentally bound with the system at the age of 14.

Putting the food in front of Ji Mingjiang, Leiden just took out his nutrient solution for today from the space button when he saw that Ji Mingjiang scooped a spoonful, and the top was immediately emptied.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he said helplessly, “Eat slowly; I’m not competing with you.” When the time came, he would still be scolded if he ate too much and got an upset stomach.

But seeing how Ji Mingjiang was eating, Leiden couldn’t help but make an outrageous guess.

This mermaid has never been full before?

Without raising his head, Ji Mingjiang poured another spoonful of fish soup into the bowl. The rice with distinct grains was soaked in the fresh fish soup with a hint of spiciness and served with soft and smooth tofu. After eating raw food for over a month, his stomach instantly warmed up a lot.

Then he scooped a spoonful of tomatoes and eggs into the bowl. The skin of the tomatoes has been peeled and can be eaten directly. The sweet and sour tomatoes, combined with tender eggs wrapped in juice, are even more appetizing.

Ji Mingjiang finished today’s lunch with just two dishes and a bowl of rice, and then picked up the familiar fried small fish. It was rare for him to feel sleepy after eating.

Then in the drowsiness, Ji Mingjiang suddenly felt his tail heating up.

“…Does a mermaid’s tail burn first when they have a fever?” He murmured in his heart and looked down, not very concerned.

F*ck.

The small dried fish he was holding in his hand was bitten into two pieces.

What the f*ck is going on here?

In the crystal-clear water, the blue fish tail that was swaying gently gradually blurred. In a similar way, a pair of human legs that Ji Mingjiang hadn’t seen for a long time appeared.

Finally, under his amazed gaze, those slender and powerful human legs froze for a brief moment and then changed back to his familiar fish tail.

Ji Mingjiang suddenly raised his head and looked around.

Clarice had just gone out to put the dishes back in the kitchen and hadn’t come back yet. There are no cameras in the bedroom either, at least not in a position where they can capture the water.

Fortunately, it’s not a big problem.

Ji Mingjiang breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about what he had done differently today to cause this change.

He didn’t even have to think about it.

Ji Mingjiang’s eyes wandered to the place where he was eating just now.

The only difference between him today and before is that he is finally full.
