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

Chapter 53 I'll Carry You Out

"Ah?" General Qin never expected that the cold and unapproachable General Lu would one day be interested in such worldly things. This was really an eye-opener.

I looked him up and down in disbelief, but couldn't find anything wrong, so I just assumed he was just being curious. "Okay, I'll take a picture and send it to you when I get back."

Lu Lianbai received the photo sent by General Qin before returning to his residence. He enlarged the photo and stared at every detail of the so-called cozy little nest, writing them down one by one.

Then, he opened his computer, compared all the details on the photo one by one, and placed nearly ten pages of orders in one go.

General Lu was extremely efficient. He restored all the purchased items into a cozy nest in detail on the same day. The original cold and lifeless residence was no longer there.

Just like when he was a child and simulated a bionic robot to learn to take care of himself, Lu Lianbai thought that he had a strong learning ability. He believed that if Jing Weiman saw the "warm nest" he had arranged, he would want to come back even more than General Qin.

The little fish eggs are obviously quite satisfied with the renovated cozy nest, as evidenced by the fact that they have started to try to chew the shells in the past few days.

Lu Lianbai was not sure whether this was normal, and he sent messages to Academician Zou asking several related questions. At first, Academician Zou answered them patiently, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

"Academician Zou, he only nibbled the shell twice today and then stopped. Is this related to the drop in temperature on the capital planet? Does the thermostat need to be adjusted?"

"Last night, at 4:15:28 AM, I suddenly woke up and continued to gnaw on my shell for half a minute. Is this because the light color wasn't suitable for a mermaid cub?"

"This morning he started chewing on the other side of the eggshell. Is the shell too hard? What can I do to help him?"

……

Questions like these may be asked repeatedly by the land generals several times a day.

Finally, Academician Zou couldn't help but call.

"General Lu, are you okay?"

Lu Lianbai acted very calmly: "I'm fine."

After a pause, he lowered his eyes to observe the small fish eggs nibbling at their shells in his palm. He then asked Academician Zou rigorously, "Academician Zou, will the electromagnetic waves generated by my conversation with you affect the speed at which the mermaid hatchlings nibble at their shells?"

"..."

"Actually, the mermaid cub isn't as fragile as you think, Admiral." Academician Zou thought for a moment and then asked tactfully, "Admiral, are you overly nervous because the cub is about to hatch?"

Lu Shang held the fish eggs in his hand straight, even breathing strictly according to the established rhythm: "No."

As if he really felt that the long communication time affected the progress of the fish eggs in shelling, Lu Lianbai quickly said something to Academician Zou and hung up the phone.

Not long after, Lu Lianbai received a mermaid baby breeding guide sent to him by Academician Zou. Different from the documents published by the institute, it recorded in detail the feeding guidelines, behavioral preferences, etc. of the mermaid babies at each stage.

So, in the next time.

In addition to changing the water in his palm at regular intervals and keeping the temperature precisely controlled at 6°, Lu Lianbai also kept the small fish eggs nestled in his palm in a comfortable state of simulated ocean currents.

The rest of the time, he repeatedly studied the mermaid baby breeding guide sent by Academician Zou.

Make sure you do all the homework and preparations before the mermaid babies hatch.

At night, Lu Lianbai adjusted the temperature control system precisely and observed the little fish gnawing on the shell for two hours. The little fish soon got tired and lay back on the bottom of the shell to rest.

While the little fish was resting, Lu Lianbai finally relaxed a bit, thinking of closing his eyes and resting for a while. But the little fish didn't play by the rules. This time, it only lay at the bottom of the shell for a short while before continuing to gnaw.

"Click."

Finally, there was a slight crack of the shell.

The little milkfish used its raised butt to push open half of the shaky eggshell. The tip of its tiny milky blue tail first stretched out from the edge of the eggshell and poked forward tentatively. Before it could poke anything, the tip of its tail slipped and it fell back into the shell.

This time the little guy was obedient. He stretched out his pink little webbed hands and clung to the edge of the eggshell, while using the tip of his little tail to try to climb up the shell wall.

After a lot of effort, he climbed up half of his body, raised his round little head, rubbed his eyes curiously and looked up. Then, he suddenly met Lu Lianbai's eyes, who had woken up at some point.

The little milk fish looked at the cold face of an iceberg hanging over its head, motionless, its eyes rolling around blankly, and its webbed hands dug at the edge of the eggshell and pulled off a small piece of the shell. Finally, it pouted and couldn't hold back any more tears.

Tears rolled down her little face. Because she had just hatched, her tears were not yet strong enough to solidify into pearls. Instead, her face was wet from crying. While crying, she curled up her little tail to pick up the other half of the eggshell that had fallen down, and then buried herself in the eggshell to cover herself up.

It seems like it's going to hatch again and replace its relatives.

"..."

Lu Lianbai's face was stiff and cold, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Looking at the eggshell that was crooked and covered by the little milkfish with great effort, his eyes moved slightly and he reached out to open it again.

The little fish lay at the bottom of the shell, with its back to him, and raised its two little hands to wipe its tears with great strength.

The tip of the pink-blue tail trembled slightly and curled up, obviously it had not yet recovered from the shock.

But Lu Lianbai's tone was cold and tense even when he spoke: "I'll carry you out."

He stretched out his hand and moved closer, but did not try to hug it by force. Instead, he waited patiently for the little fish to come over by itself.

"Woo?"

The little fish rubbed its wet eyelashes, tilted its head, and smelled the scent of its relatives who had been with it all these days. It sobbed and crawled over hesitantly.

Then, he put his little face over to sniff it and felt a little less scared.

Two soft webbed hands carefully held Lu Lianbai's fingers, and he made a puzzled sound, "Ah, da?"

Lu Lianbai probably realized that he had just scared the cub, but he didn't know how to comfort it, so he could only turn his face away stiffly, trying his best not to let the cub get scared again.

After the little fish was picked up, its attention was indeed quickly diverted.

He stared at the buttons of Lu Lianbai's military shirt on his chest, opened his little mouth and bit the buttons, but couldn't budge them. He then used his little paws to pull them, but not only did it not budge, he also hurt his paws.

Lu Lianbai lowered his head and looked down to see the little fish cub pouting its mouth and beginning to cry again.

"..." After a moment of silence, Lu Lianbai had no choice but to raise his hand and unbutton the top button.

He thought the little guy wanted to play with his buttons, but the little fish baby smacked its head onto the fish scale mark on his heart.
