Chapter 18:
Little Conch Jing watched the interaction between the two people, and inexplicably felt a sour smell of love permeating his body.
Speaking of which, he is already an adult, and it is time to find a female conch spirit to experience the sourness of love.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but find an opportunity to ask Shen An'an, "Little Mermaid, do you have any beautiful conch spirits around you that you can introduce to me?"
Shen Anan thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know the conch spirit, but I know an octopus spirit. Would you like to try to get along with her?"
The little conch spirit waved his hands again and again in a panic: "...No, no, no octopus spirit..."
Shen Anan said earnestly: "You can't do this, little conch, what age is it now, how can you still engage in species discrimination? There is no future in engaging in species discrimination!"
The little conch-jing looked at her angrily: "...You misunderstood, I'm not trying to discriminate against species, the main reason is that the octopus is too fast, and if there is a conflict in the future, I'm afraid of being beaten! Fist is no match for four hands, not to mention that octopus does not only have four hands, but she has eight hands..."
Mentioning this matter, Shen An'an instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by the octopus spirit with its eight claws.
Shen An'an: "...your consideration is also justified. After all, if you find someone else, even if you beat you, you will only get one slap at a time; but if an octopus beats you, you will get eight slaps at a time, indeed It's a little too embarrassing for you."
The little conch essence nodded, "Yes, yes, so I still like cute and lovely girls. Of course, it would be great if she could be half as beautiful as you."
The beauty of The Little Mermaid is recognized by the entire ocean. If it weren't for her immature now, and the oarfish beside her was too vicious and cruel, it is estimated that the person who came to propose marriage would have already stepped through the cave.
Shen An'an likes people who can talk like Xiao Conch Jing, and Xiao Conch Jing has been working tirelessly recently as her "liaison tool" with this human scientist, so Shen An'an still has a good impression of him: "In this way, I will help you Be careful, if there is a suitable one, I will definitely introduce it to you."
The little conch-jing looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, little mermaid, you are really a fish."
Shen An'an: "Don't say that, this is what we fairies should do."
Little Conch Essence: "…"
After chatting with the little conch, Shen An'an awakened the matchmaker skills inexplicably. After thinking about it, she felt that although octopus essence was not suitable for small conch, it was very suitable for oarfish.
After all, in terms of fighting, it is estimated that only the octopus spirit with eight hands is the opponent of the oarfish.
In the end, she told the octopus essence and the oarfish about this idea, and both of them rejected her without hesitation.
The emperor's face was expressionless: "It's okay to go out for a fight, but it's not necessary to fall in love."
The octopus essence is even more expressionless than the oarfish: "I don't like non-mainstream teenagers who dye their hair."
The oarfish: "...When did Lao Tzu dye his hair? My red hair is born."
The octopus squinted at him: "Naturally non-mainstream? That's even worse."
The oarfish: "...Come, come, go out and fight."
The octopus spirit rolled up one sleeve and another: "Fight if you fight, are you an old lady afraid of you?"
Shen An'an looked at these two people with a smile - look, a thirteenth sister under the sea, and a grumpy brother under the sea, what a perfect match for two people!
Compared with the liveliness of the underwater world, the island is obviously much quieter.
Zhou Suiyu is fine, and he can make some delicious food to feed the fish every day.
Xu Qingshu was miserable, and he was alone almost every day.
Now Shen Anan is learning to weave dragon yarn every day in a cave under the sea, and it is not easy for Zhou Suiyu to meet her, let alone Xu Qingshu.
In the past, when Xu Qingshu drove a submarine into the sea, he could meet Shen An'an once or twice ten times.
Moreover, Xu Qingshu also took time to go back to the research institute in the past two days, and also went to Zheng Institute's office by the way.
Listening to what Zheng said, Zhou Suiyu's research on the Little Mermaid is progressing quite smoothly.
Although Zheng Institute did not clearly state the specific research direction and content of Zhou Suiyu's research, it must be much more in-depth than his research.
This made Xu Qingshu's already anxious mood even more anxious.
You must know that the bet he made with Zhou Suiyu was three months, and now there is less than one month left.
Before, he could comfort himself by saying don't be in a hurry, there is still time, but now, he can't be in a hurry.
He felt that compared to research, he was probably no better than Zhou Suiyu.
After all, doing research and writing reports takes time. Zhou Suiyu started two months ahead of him. Originally, he had much more material about the Little Mermaid than he did. Even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep for the last month, he might not be able to catch up.
What's more, his own research on the Little Mermaid has no clue and progress. If nothing else, he doesn't even know where to find this little mermaid now.
Xu Qingshu thought that since research is not enough, if you want to win Zhou Suiyu, you can only start from other aspects.
For example, let The Little Mermaid personally choose between him and Zhou Suiyu?
After all, all things have spirits, and sometimes research subjects will choose suitable scientists for themselves as breeders and researchers. The institute is not without such a precedent.
Of course, this is only his preliminary idea. Whether it can be implemented or not, and how to implement it, he has to make a good total.
As for whether Zhou Suiyu would agree or not, he was not worried at all.
After all, if Zhou Suiyu did not agree, there would still be Zheng Suo!
Zheng Suo is the person who pays the most attention to fairness, justice and democracy. He will talk to him when he comes, and ask him to give him a chance. He does not believe that Zheng Suo will not agree.
After thinking about this, Xu Qingshu's mood was rarely relaxed.
The most urgent task now is to show up in front of the little mermaid as much as possible and gain more favorability. In this way, the odds of winning will be greater at that time.
Oh, by the way, I have to go to the library of the institute to look up more information to see if I can find what the mermaid group likes. Although humans have not had any research related to mermaids in the last hundred years or so, nor have they found any traces of mermaids, but since mermaids are real, there should be a few words of records left.
Xu Qingshu went out early and returned late, and Zhou Suiyu was not idle.
His research report has recently entered the final stage, and only after waiting for 3 months to submit the report, the winner can be determined.
At that time, Xu Qingshu will not be in the way on the island, and the little mermaid can appear whenever she wants, ride the turtle to the island if she wants to ride the turtle to the island, eat hot pot if she wants to eat hot pot, eat barbecue if she wants to eat barbecue...
And Zhou Suiyu has been paying attention to the "Science and Technology Progress Award" recently.
Every year, Huaguo sets up a "Science and Technology Progress Award" to reward scientists who have made great contributions to scientific research. The first prize is 5 million yuan.
Although Zhou Suiyu had thought about winning this award before, he was just thinking about it, not in a hurry. But this year, he intends to participate in the competition for this award by virtue of his research on the Little Mermaid, not to win the award, but mainly for the prize of 5 million.
He even thought about the purpose of the bonus - to build a row of glass houses facing the sea and blooming in spring on this island.
The glass room can be divided into specific functional areas.
One of them can draw seawater into an indoor heated swimming pool, so that the Little Mermaid can stay on the shore for as long as she wants.
In addition, you can also make a small indoor playground for the little mermaid, and his little mermaid should have everything that other little girls have.
Oh, by the way, at the end, I have to take one out to make a warm incubation room, so that in case the little mermaid has a baby in the future...
have a baby, have a baby...
Forget it, this is still a bit far off.
Keep your head up!
Zhou Suiyu opened the window and blew the sea breeze for a while, forcing himself to clear his mind full of messy thoughts before sitting back at his desk and continuing to think about how to spend the 5 million prize money of the Science and Technology Award.
There are too many ideas to implement. It is estimated that 5 million will not be enough by then. The research institute is poor, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get too much scientific research funds to implement these ideas. He may need to go home and apply for a little more...
However, if it is said that it is to build a glass house for the little mermaid on a desolate island, Zhou's mother is definitely not willing to pay for it. Even if it is to support the scientific research of the motherland, Zhou's mother probably will not be willing.
After all, Zheng Suo went to Zhou's house to persuade Zhou's mother to invest in the protection of seabed red coral, but Zhou's mother was kicked out.
Why don't you just lie to her and say that you are buying a seaside villa for your girlfriend?
Girlfriends are squeamish and beautiful. Isn't it normal to want a seaside villa?
Mother Zhou also came here when she was young, so she can definitely understand this.
Girlfriend, about this girlfriend's beach house...
Zhou Suiyu thought about it, and couldn't help but start sighing again.
- Keep your head up, Zhou Suiyu! !
At this moment, in a garden villa in Whale City, Zhou's mother is also chatting with Zhou's father about Zhou Suiyu's "girlfriend".
"...It should have been talked about. She didn't reveal the exact kind of girl at all, so she kept it a secret. At first, I thought that it might be a colleague from his research institute, and I called Lao Zheng two days ago. I'm going to find out, but looking at Lao Zheng's reaction, I should be unaware... Hey Lao Zhou, what kind of girl do you think your son will find?"
Zhou's father didn't care about what kind of girlfriend Zhou Suiyu was looking for, but he couldn't bear to spoil Zhou's mother's talk, so he reluctantly cheered up and said, "No matter what kind of girlfriend he is looking for, if he can find one, you should Amitabha Buddha. Didn’t you always worry that he would never find a girlfriend for the rest of his life, so he did research alone until he was 80 years old? Now at least you don’t have to worry about your son dying alone.”
Mother Zhou: "That's right, but you can't just pull one on the street, right? After all, you still have to have some requirements."
When Father Zhou heard her say this, it was rare for him to mention a little talk: "Oh, what are your requirements, let me hear it first."
Mother Zhou thought for a while: "The first and foremost point is to be able to eat. There are a lot of girls nowadays, who are constantly clamoring to lose weight, and if they eat one or two bites, they say they are full. If things go on like this, they will look bright and beautiful on the surface, but their bodies will not. The foundations are all false, so this is not acceptable.”
Father Zhou nodded: "What else?"
Mother Zhou: "Well, it's better to be a little more beautiful. After all, your son is not ugly, right?"
Father Zhou teased her: "What if your son finds a particularly beautiful one and compares you to him? You are not allowed to come to me and cry when you look back."
Zhou's mother gave him a look: "You are my three-year-old child, and I'm crying at you! Let me tell you, I like pretty little girls..."
Father Zhou replied casually, "Me too."
Mother Zhou: "...Huh?"
Father Zhou calmly helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I mean, I also like pretty little girls, just like you."
Mother Zhou was very helpful, but she still said something resentful on the surface: "You are slick. Fortunately, your son is not like you at all."
Father Zhou smiled slightly: "If he can talk like me, the child will be able to play soy sauce. After all, when I was his age, the child would already be able to play soy sauce."
