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

Chapter 55 Baby, don’t cry.

"..." Lu Lianbai was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, have you read too many fairy tale picture books?"

The Marshal's wife pretended to be dignified and said, "Stop interrupting me and tell me where my daughter-in-law is now!"

Lu Lianbai tightened his hands hanging at his sides, and slowly pressed his fingertips on the two overlapping new and old tooth marks on the tiger's mouth, rubbing them silently for a moment.

She doesn't want me.

There is absolutely no way that the land army would admit this.

He replied in a different way, "She will be back."

His tone was calm and firm, as if he believed in this fact even more than Jing Weiman himself.

The Marshal's wife remained skeptical. "Really? Didn't they hide him from us?"

"……No."

Lu Lian's eyes darkened slightly, and after he finished speaking, he began to think about this feasible plan.

If he were to find Jing Weiman's whereabouts, he should have secretly hidden Jing Weiman as soon as possible... and hidden her for three hours. By then, Jing Weiman would probably be so scared that he would not dare to leave him without saying goodbye.

The Marshal's wife naturally had no idea what kind of messy and dark plot her seemingly serious and upright son was thinking at the moment. When she heard Lu Lianbai say this, she thought that her daughter-in-law must have unavoidable reasons and could not come back to reunite with the family for the time being.

He frowned and said, "Then you have to take good care of the cub before she comes back!"

"I know."

The Marshal's wife inspected the house again, inside and out, and her eyes quickly fell on several books on the table.

"Guide to Raising Mermaid Babies", "How to Control Your Expression", "Expression Management Training", "Parenting Manual"...

To be honest, although Lu Lianbai looks more like a robot, it can be seen that he has indeed put a lot of thought into taking care of the little fish.

Even so, the Marshal's wife considered the actual situation and decided to have a serious discussion with him: "I can see that you, Lianbai, are taking good care of the cub. But Lianbai, you usually have so much to do at the base. What if there's an emergency at the base one day, or you're on a mission across the star zone, and you can't get back in time to feed the cub?"

Lu Lianbai frowned slightly, obviously aware of this problem.

Seeing that there was a good chance, the Marshal's wife continued to persuade him: "How about this, take the baby back to the Lu residence. Your father and I have nothing to do now, so let us take care of the baby!"

Lu Lianbai saw through his mother's thoughts and said, "Mermaids have had a sense of territory since they were young. He has now adapted to the fact that this is his exclusive territory. Leaving here rashly will affect his development and growth."

The Marshal's wife: "...Then I'll come over every two days?"

“Too often.”

The Marshal's wife gritted her teeth and settled for the next best thing: "I have to come see my grandson on the weekend! It's a deal!"

Not long after the Marshal's wife left, Lu Lianbai returned to the study to handle some military affairs and participated in a drill command via holographic video. After the exercise was over, he immediately opened the bedroom door.

The little fish cub seemed to be having a nightmare. The soft blanket of the shell bed was arched into a mess, and the tip of its tail was curled up. This was because the mermaid cub would curl itself up into a ball like now when it felt extremely insecure.

As soon as Lu Lianbai picked up the baby, his fingertips touched a pool of wet tears.

His expression froze for a moment. Then, his mind flashed back to what had happened in the courtyard on Fourth Street...

So the next second, Lu Shang straightened his posture and held the little fish cub, imitating the way Jing Weiman comforted the sick Jing Xiaoyu before, and said stiffly, "Baby, don't cry."

Perhaps it really worked. Lu Lianbai lowered his eyelids and coaxed the little fish in this emotionless tone for a few minutes. Finally, the little fish cub in his arms slowly opened its curled-up tail, and its wrinkled little face gradually relaxed, finally returning to a peaceful sleep...

It was also at this time that Lu Lianbai finally realized that every time he left the little fish for more than a certain period of time, the little fish would feel uneasy.

This is probably because the fish cubs are still too young and need his constant company.

To this end, Lu Lianbai came up with a plan. When he was working later, he would try his best to let his smaller version of the spirit body accompany the cub.

However, even when General Lu's spirit body is normally shrunk, it is still about two meters tall. The little fish baby likes this furry big cat very much. He climbs up and down on the big cat every day, hugs the big cat's tail and nibbles and bites it, and he is very happy.

Every time at this time, Lu Shang, who was sitting calmly at his desk and having a holographic video call with his subordinates, would have to pause the parliamentary proceedings, try to stay calm for a moment, and then continue the meeting.

Until one day, Lu Lianbai suddenly heard the faint whimpering of the baby fish coming from outside the door.

Lu Lianbai even forgot to turn off the headset, and immediately stopped working and opened the door to go out.

In fact, except for the day when the little fish hatched and cried because he scared it, it only cried occasionally when it was hungry and needed milk. Even when it had a nightmare, it just shed tears silently. It was very well-behaved and rarely cried out loud.

So when Lu Lianbai heard the sudden cry of the little fish cub, his face suddenly darkened.

When he came out, he saw the little fish lying on the head of his spiritual cat, covering its eyes with its two forked tail fins.

Lu Lianbai was stunned for a moment, then stepped over and pretended to hold the baby. His face looked even colder and more resolute due to excessive tension. "Baby, what's wrong?"

The little fish cub still covered his eyes, "Gaao..."

Lu Lianbai tried to translate the little guy's unclear voice, "Too high?"

"Ugh."

Lu Lianbai's thin lips curled up slightly and he picked up the little guy.

The little baby fish habitually lay close to the fish scale mark above his heart and rubbed it with its little round face. It also obediently touched the tip of its slightly trembling tail fin with its webbed hands, as if to comfort itself by saying, "Be good, my tail."

Then he raised his wet eyes and asked, "Ba Ba?"

It’s like asking, ba ba, is this right?

The curve of Lu Lianbai's lips deepened: "Yeah."

The little fish has a strong learning ability and is very smart. He has learned a lot of simple words from the light-screen TV channel during this period. Although his speech is still unclear, it is not difficult to understand.

Lu Lianbai tilted his head slightly to signal the spirit to lower its front paws, and ordered it to only lie down like this and play with the little fish from now on.

When he coaxed the little fish cub back into his study, he realized that not only was the door open, but the headset was also not muted. This meant that the noise he made while coaxing the cub was practically heard by the people on the other end of the holographic conference...

So, at this moment, facing the crowd on the holographic screen looking at each other with strange expressions, General Lu declared calmly: "Yes, I have a child."
