Chapter 43 Pearls Laid by Small Fish

Jing Weimian's expression eased a little. Just then, his subordinate Shi Nan called. Jing Weimian was too lazy to care about him anymore. He went straight back to the study and made a holographic video call with Shi Nan to discuss the details of the banquet in Hezhou that he was invited to in two days.

When she hung up the video call and came out of the study, she found that the idiot was gone.

Jing Weimian paused, then turned on the computer and called up the surveillance video.

Soon she saw on the light screen that not long after she entered the study, the fool returned to the utility room where he had been locked up yesterday and locked himself up.

Jing Weiman turned off the computer and walked straight to the storage room. He swiped the iris lock and the door opened automatically with a beep.

Then I saw the tall and strong fool hiding behind the pile of junk boxes, with his head lowered, secretly counting pearls.

"..."

When the fool heard the door open, he slowly picked up the pearls in his hand that he had not yet counted. When he saw her come in, he subconsciously hid the pearls behind his back.

The face looked cold and gloomy, but the eye sockets were a little red, like a dumb block of wood who had been wronged but dared not be angry or speak.

It seemed that hiding and secretly counting the pearls from her back was the greatest resistance he could show.

Jing Weimian stared at him expressionlessly: "...Don't tell me you climbed onto my bed early in the morning to collect pearls?"

She said that the few pearls that rolled onto the fool last night disappeared. When she woke up, she thought they had fallen under the bed and didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect that they were hidden by the fool.

The fool pursed his lips, his arm muscles tensed. It was easy to see that he was tightly gripping the pearl in his hand, afraid that she would take it back.

Jing Weimian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Great, the fool isn't stupid after all. He even knows how to collect pearls. So, are you secretly hiding them and planning to sell them for money later?"

Hearing this, the fool became anxious and said, "No, I won't sell it."

"Then what are you collecting my pearls for?" Jing Weiman's gaze fell on his face as if it had substance, and it seemed that he had no intention of letting him go.

"I..." The fool hesitated, not knowing what he was thinking of. His ears turned red uncontrollably and his Adam's apple rolled. After a long while, he muttered, "Xiaoyu's... beautiful."

Then he insisted stubbornly, "No, take it away."

Jing Weimian didn't care about the few broken beads condensed from her tears. She just didn't understand why this fool hid them.

Not wanting to bother with him, Jing Weimian turned around and left.

Taking advantage of the fact that her condition has improved a lot today, she has to go to the island to handle an urgent matter.

While putting on her coat, Jing Weimian asked the robot to bring her a pair of boots for her to change into.

The robot squatted straight down with its mechanical limbs, simulating ergonomic procedures to put on the boots for her.

Although Jing Weiman can be said to be basically accustomed to most of the living habits of humans, she has a problem with wearing shoes. Perhaps because her tail fin is a sensitive part of her body, even if it is transformed into an ankle, she always feels very strange and difficult when stuffing it into the so-called shoes with a small space.

It just so happened that they were in the house on Whale Island, and Jing Weimian was too lazy to make things difficult for himself, so he simply handed the task to the robot.

Unexpectedly, just when she was halfway through putting on her shoes, the fool hid his pearls and came over. He saw the robot's mechanical arm holding her ankle.
The fool's eyes were bright and dark, and he relied on his tall stature to cross over and knock away the robot with relatively slender mechanical limbs.

Then, he fixed his stern face on Jing Weimian and said sternly, "No, don't touch it."

Jing Weimian raised her eyebrows slightly. This fool's possessiveness was even stronger than her, a mermaid. She folded her arms and leaned against the stone pillar at the entrance, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Okay, then help me put it on." She had just wanted to tease this fool, but she never thought that the fool would actually squat in front of her without saying a word, holding her ankle with his warm palm, and gently put on the short boots and re-tied the shoelaces.

Jing Weimian lowered her eyes and looked at the fool squatting at her feet until he stood up, pursed his lips and asked her, "From now on, I will help Xiaoyu dress."

Jing Weiman pretended to look behind him with worry.

Seeing this, the fool turned around and picked up the robot he had knocked to the ground. He secretly removed the crystal chip from the back of the robot, looked at Jing Weimian with his bright black eyes and said, "It's broken."

Jing Weiman's gaze returned to him with a slight surprise. What surprised him was that the fool did not violently dismantle the robot's chip. On the contrary, his movements were extremely skillful and neat. In the blink of an eye, he removed the chip intact from the tightly installed mechanical parts.

The fool waited for a long time but still didn't get Jing Weiman's answer. The corners of his lips slightly pressed down into a straight line, revealing a bit of grievance.

He didn't know what else to do to make Xiaoyu only allow him to help her put on her shoes.

At this moment, Jing Weimian suddenly lifted a corner of her coat and unloaded a revolver from her waist. The muzzle of the gun, which looked gorgeous and concealed, was embedded with a hollow fish pattern. She gently turned the muzzle and said, "Open your mouth."

The fool opened his mouth without even a moment's hesitation.

Then the next second, Jing Weimian stuffed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth and looked at him intently, "What on earth did you do in the past?"

The fool was stunned for a moment, without struggling, just looking at her motionlessly.

After a long while, Jing Weimian looked back, pulled out the gun and threw it to him.

The fool caught it immediately.

"Will you shoot?"

The fool held her pistol in his hand, and the posture he took didn't look like he was holding a gun, but more like he was receiving a gift.

Jing Weimian: "...Forget it, get out of the way, I need to go out."

The fool seemed to have heard the hidden meaning of her words. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously reached out to hold her, "Xiaoyu, don't leave."

Jing Weimian frowned, she could never believe that after sleeping with him twice, he would start to cling to her.

Does this idiot know that he is just a relief tool for her? In a few days at most, he will be killed or thrown away by her. What's the point of clinging to her like a fish?

Jing Weimian grumbled inwardly while sizing him up coldly as he looked over eagerly at her. He asked, "Do you want to stay here or come with me?"

The fool reacted quickly after hearing this, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Wait a minute."

After a while, the fool went back to the storage room and took out the pearls he had just hidden, protecting them with great care, indicating that they were ready to set off.

Jing Weimian looked puzzled: "...No, I'm going out to do some business, not to travel. Why would you bring a few broken pearls with you?"

The fool, however, looked very nervous and cherished the pearls. He held the pearls in his palm and said seriously, "These are all pearl babies laid by the little fish. I have to protect them at all times."

"??"
