Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 38 What clothes will you take off on land?

"Weimian, how did you get back over the wall from the back?"

Jing Weimian patted the dust off his hands, looking angry, "There's a Living Buddha standing outside the door, how can I get in?"

Academician Zou hadn't expected that Admiral Lu would still be waiting outside the courtyard so late. He glanced toward the door and subconsciously lowered his voice, "I think the Admiral seems to be trying to explain a misunderstanding."

Jing Weimian took off his gloves and walked into the house expressionlessly, "What misunderstanding could there be between him and me?"

"Then Weimian, why don't you even dare to enter the door..."

"..."

Jing Weiman paused slightly and glanced at Academician Zou with a hint of annoyance.

Fortunately, Academician Zou stopped teasing her and took her in to see Jing Xiaoyu.

"It's strange to say, but since General Lu came over this afternoon, Xiaoyu's fever has gradually subsided."

"...Uncle Zou, if you keep doing this I'm going to start to doubt whether you've taken money from him."

Academician Zou said seriously: "How is this possible?"

Jing Weimian said so, but he still squatted down at the shell nest and touched the scales on Jing Xiaoyu's fish tail. It was indeed as Uncle Zou said, it was no longer hot.

"I'll come over to check again tomorrow morning. If nothing goes wrong, the diseased scales on Xiaoyu's body should be back to normal by tomorrow."

Jing Weimian nodded, "Uncle Zou, you've worked hard."

"I'm glad Xiaoyu is okay."

Perhaps because he was afraid of being scolded by Academician Zou again, Jing Weiman offered to send Academician Zou off. As soon as the gate was opened, as expected, someone was still standing outside.

Jing Weimian didn't even look at him. He said goodbye to Uncle Zou and watched him leave on the hovering spacecraft.

Just as the gate was about to close, a hand reached out and held the door edge.

"Doctor Jing, even if you are sentenced to death, you still have the right to appeal."

Jing Weimian lowered his eyelids and looked at the hand blocking the door. He said coldly, "General, you are too serious. I don't have the ability to sentence you to death."

Lu Lianbai observed carefully and found that Jing Weimian did not close the door. He realized that Jing Weimian was giving him a chance to explain, so he looked at her and said:

"Today, I unexpectedly discovered that Gu Jiazhen has some clues to the truth I've been looking for. Therefore, before I investigate this matter thoroughly, I can't let you take her life, but it's not because I want to protect her."

"Finished?"

Lu Lianbai paused, then brought up the Lightning bike. "This is Jing Xiaoyu's mobility scooter—"

Jing Weimian took it with one hand and pushed it into the yard. Just as he was about to close the door and go into the house, this time, the hem of his clothes was pulled.

Turning around, she saw Lu Lianbai staring down at her, stretching out his long fingers to grab the slightly wrinkled corner of her clothes, and calling her name in a deep voice without revealing his expression.

"Jing hasn't fallen asleep yet."

As if to remind her that his "death sentence" had not been revoked.

There was a subtle silence that flowed silently through the two people as they looked at each other.

Finally, Jing Weimian said without comment: "I understand. It's getting late now. General, you should go back first."

Lu Lianbai could tell her tone had softened. He twirled the thin fabric with his fingers, his eyes still fixed, "Doctor Jing, aren't you curious about what I'm investigating?"

"This is General Lu's own private matter. Why should I be curious?"

Lu Lianbai's eyes slowly moved down, from her lips, and then slowly stopped at the base of his hand that was holding the corner of her clothes. The light red tooth mark left last night perfectly covered the tooth mark that had not faded over the years.

After a moment, Lu Lianbai suddenly withdrew his hand. Just when Jing Weimian thought he was about to leave, Lu Lianbai stared at her calmly, but his hands silently began to unbutton the metal collar button of his military uniform.

"General Lu? Why are you taking off your clothes for no reason..."

Jing Weimian thought he was going crazy, but halfway through her words, Lu Lianbai had already undone three buttons of his shirt and spread the collar to one side. At the same time, he grabbed her hand with his other hand and pressed it directly on his heart.

Lu Lianbai's throat rolled, and his eyes were deep and clear, looking straight at her.

"I want to ask Dr. Jing if he recognizes it?"

Jing Weimian's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, I was forced to meet his gaze.

She really hadn't thought that Lu Lianbai would actually suspect that the scale mark on his heart was related to her.

Jing Weimian held her breath and clearly felt the heat from his chest ironing her palm, so hot that she almost immediately pulled her hand back from him.

She opened her lips slightly and was about to say something when she suddenly heard Jing Xiaoyu groan in pain from inside the room.

Jing Weimian's face suddenly tensed, and he no longer cared about Lu Lianbai, and hurried back to the house to check.

Jing Xiaoyu fell and sat on the floor. It was not known whether he accidentally fell from the shell nest on the bed when he turned over. He held his fish butt firmly, his little face wrinkled, and he was about to cry.

Jing Weiman immediately picked up Jing Xiaoyu from the ground. Jing Xiaoyu closed her moist eyelashes, and it was unclear whether she was awake or not. She mumbled in a hoarse voice that it didn't hurt.

Jing Weimian was still worried and wanted to check if the fish's tail was injured, but the little cub was hesitant and refused to show it.

Jing Weiman was afraid of hurting the little guy, so he didn't dare to hold him too tightly.

This instead gave Jing Xiaoyu an opportunity to slip out of her arms, curl up back into the shell, and even tried to close the opening of the shell with his little hands.

"Baby?"

Jing Weiman saw that the little creature's two little tail fins were wrinkled and shrunk inward, so he refused to even hold her, let alone examine her.

After a while, tiny pearls rolled down from the curled-up body of the little fish and fell deep into the shell with a plop.

Jing Weimian's heart was about to clench as she watched, and she coaxed him softly, "Baby, what's wrong with you? Is it hurting somewhere?"

“No, it hurts…”

Jing Xiaoyu buried her little face in the fish tail, letting out some unclear baby voice.

"Can you come out and hug me?" Jing Weimian patiently squatted outside the shell, "I want to hug the baby."

Jing Xiaoyu has always put Jing Weiman's wishes first. He always nods and agrees to whatever Jing Weiman says and has never refused Jing Weiman.

But this time, for some reason, Jing Xiaoyu heard these words and her soft, pointed ear fins drooped. She seemed to be struggling in pain for a long time before finally choosing to bury her tail fin deeper. She hugged the fish's tail tightly with her little hands, even whimpering, "No, I can't hold you..."

Lu Lianbai had just followed Jing Weimian into the room. Seeing this scene, he realized that something was not right with the little mermaid cub. He said with a serious expression, "Academician Zou should not have gone far. I'll call him back."

Then he picked up the communicator and made a call.

When Jing Weiman heard the intermittent whimpering of the little fish cub, his heart ached.

Just at this moment, the hand that reached into the edge of the shell caught a crooked, flat and deformed little pearl.

Rolled down from the little fish.

Jing Weimian's face turned pale in an instant.
