Chapter 36:
Zhou Suiyu guessed right, Shen Anan really planned to bring a nunchaku back to the oarfish.
Zhou Suiyu asked cautiously, "Do you know what a nunchaku is?"
Shen An installs stupidly: "I don't know! It should be some kind of weapon, right? Oh, whatever it is, it must be something that can double the combat effectiveness of the oarfish. Before he went out to fight, he occasionally got injured. A smaller weapon might be less likely to be injured.”
Zhou Suiyu thought sourly that the little mermaid really cared about the oarfish, and worried that he would be injured, but persuaded: "I think you should think about it carefully, after all, the oarfish has no hands. How are you going to wield this nunchaku then?"
Shen Anxin thought, who said he was out of hand? Not only does he have hands, he also has feet, oh yes, he also knows a friend who has eight hands.
But he replied casually: "He doesn't have a mouth without his hands? He can just bite the nunchaku and throw it with his mouth!"
Zhou Suiyu imagined a picture of a classmate with a tyrant octopus in the sea biting a nunchaku in the sea and humming haha... Tsk, the picture is too beautiful and I dare not look at it.
Shen Anan secretly observed Zhou Suiyu's face, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter, can't I buy it?"
Zhou Suiyu hesitated: "It's not..."
Shen An'an: "That means you can buy it? Then let's go buy it quickly!"
To be honest, she really couldn't wait to see how the oarfish would react to this special gift.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Suiyu is not a particularly talkative person, otherwise Xu Qingshu would not have complained about him being cold-hearted and inhumane before. But as long as the object is this little mermaid, Zhou Suiyu will inexplicably become more talkative.
Just like now, he didn't need to persuade the little mermaid any more, he persuaded himself.
Isn't it just a nunchaku, forget it, buy it, buy it!
If you really can't use the oarfish, you can keep it as a souvenir! After all, for something like a gift, the meaning of commemoration is often greater than the meaning of use.
It's just that there are almost no nunchakus for sale in ordinary shopping malls, so the two of them went around several places before finally buying the nunchakus that Shen Anan wanted.
In addition, Shen Anan also bought a little dolphin for the old turtle.
It's not the kind of fluffy dolphin, the kind that can't go into the sea, and even if it can go into the sea, it definitely won't work after soaking in the sea for a long time.
What she picked for the old turtle was a plastic dolphin toy that could go into the water.
Shen Anan thought that the old turtle should also like it, after all, he would catch Shen Anan and tell the oarfish about his past love with the little dolphin.
Since I bought gifts for both the oarfish and the old turtle, it is natural to not favor one over the other.
So Shen Anan held the nunchaku in one hand and the little dolphin in the other, and asked Zhou Suiyu seriously: "Do you have anything you like? I can also buy it for you."
Zhou Suiyu originally wanted to say no, but after looking at the nunchaku in Shen An'an's hand, he still said, "I can do it, as you please."
When giving gifts, I am afraid that others will say "you can" or "as you like", because without knowing the other person's preferences, the target range is too large, and there are too many choices, it is really difficult to choose.
So Shen Anan thought about it, and finally said with a sense of frustration: "I haven't thought about it yet, wait until I think about it."
Zhou Suiyu smiled: "It's alright, think about it slowly."
While talking, the two walked down the stairs. When passing by a dessert shop, Shen Anan stopped silently.
Zhou Suiyu glanced at her with a funny look, how long has it been since he finished eating the crayfish, this little mermaid is actually greedy again.
Truly talented.
He didn't ask what the little mermaid wanted to eat, and walked over to line up wisely.
Seeing this, Shen Anan immediately followed up with a smile.
The new products launched in the store are mango melaleuca and strawberry pancake. Zhou Suiyu bought one for Shen An'an. In addition, he also bought matcha pudding and yogurt toast bread.
After finishing the bill, she saw Shen An'an staring at the milk tea shop opposite. Zhou Suiyu simply went over and brought her a cup of frozen top oolong macchiato. This was recommended by the little girl from the milk tea shop, and Zhou Suiyu didn't know whether the little mermaid liked it or not. But he thought about it, as long as he eats, he seems to have never heard the little mermaid say he doesn't like it.
She likes to eat and is not picky eaters. If there is a chance to bring this little mermaid to her home as a guest in the future, it is estimated that she will definitely be the kind of guest that Chen Ma likes the most.
After buying and selling like this, Zhou Suiyu finally went back to the research institute to do business.
Before leaving, he deliberately asked Shen An'an for her opinion, and asked her if she wanted to find a place to wait for him, or go to the research institute with him.
Shen Anan chose the latter without thinking.
Zhou Suiyu secretly also hoped that Shen Anan would go with him. After all, leaving Shen Anan outside alone made him feel a little uneasy.
But just taking people to the research institute so carelessly, Zhou Suiyu was even more worried. After all, the identity of the little mermaid is really special. If other people with bad intentions know the identity of the little mermaid, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
So after tangled, Zhou Suiyu decided to give the little mermaid a little disguise.
In fact, the best way to disguise is makeup.
Of course, this was not what Zhou Suiyu said, but what Zhou's father said. Zhou's father likes to step on one and hold one very much on weekdays. Every time he wants to please Zhou's mother, he will spit out those actresses and female stars in a wave of TV series.
For example: "When you talk about these female stars, you say that they are trying to hide from the paparazzi, but they have made such a big battle, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are female stars. I really don't want to attract attention, so I just take off my makeup. Can't you do it? After all, they put on makeup as if they had plastic surgery. It's not like you, when you don't wear makeup, you are a proper little princess, but at most they become a more beautiful little princess after makeup.
Zhou's father often said things like this at home, so even if straight men are like Zhou, they know that the magic of makeup is very huge.
But can The Little Mermaid use makeup?
Will it be skin allergies or something?
Zhou Suiyu was a little worried.
So although the little mermaid was brought into the beauty shop, she didn't plan to let the little mermaid make up. It was just that she had her trademark long hair **** in a bun, and he hesitated before standing in front of the row of wigs in the store.
What kind of wig should I choose for her?
The little mermaid loves beauty so much, she would definitely not like to dress up ugly.
But to dress too beautifully, certainly not. After all, the more beautiful you are, the easier it is to attract attention, and the more attention you attract, the easier it is to reveal your identity.
Seeing Zhou Suiyu's hesitation, Shen Anan ordered one of the wigs: "Just that one!"
Zhou Suiyu looked at the explosion roll, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "...Are you sure?"
Shen An'an: "Don't you think this hairstyle that looks like it has been struck by lightning is very cool?"
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
I really don't understand your mermaid aesthetic!
I have to say that people with good looks are willful. Even with an explosive roll, the Little Mermaid gives people a sense of "I am really the most beautiful cub on this street".
And in addition to this explosion roll, Shen An'an also picked out a pair of sunglasses for herself.
The whole person dressed up and walked to the center of the store, looking like a fashionable girl in the old Shanghai beach.
No matter how bad it is, it is also the top card in Shanghai at night.
Zhou Suiyu just led this fashionable girl to the research institute.
The research institute generally doesn't let people in casually, so Zhou Suiyu made a call to Zheng before entering, and then helped Shen Anan to simply register the information in the concierge.
Except that the name is Shen An'an's own, the rest of the ID card and phone number are filled in by Zhou Suiyu.
Fortunately, the concierge's attention was on Shen An'an, so he didn't notice these details.
Although Zhou Suiyu has not been here for a long time, because this face is really impressive, the concierge knows Zhou Suiyu. Seeing that he had filled it out, he immediately asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, is this your girlfriend? She looks so beautiful!"
Before Zhou Suiyu could speak, Shen Anan thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, you are beautiful too!"
It was the first time that the concierge was praised for being good-looking, and he couldn't help blushing.
Fortunately, his face was black and he couldn't see it.
But no matter what, he had a good impression of Shen An'an.
After all, it is rare to see such a kind and easy-going beautiful girl like Shen An'an this year.
Zhou Suiyu originally wanted to explain that Shen An'an was not his girlfriend, but was startled by Shen An'an's praise of the doorman's "You are also very beautiful", and he didn't find his voice for a long time.
Until he followed Shen Anan into the research institute, he couldn't help but look back at the porter.
If he remembered correctly, the little mermaid seemed to have praised him for his good looks at the beginning, and now he praised the good-looking man of the concierge, and then thought of the aesthetics of the wig that the little mermaid just chose...
For some unknown reason, Zhou Suiyu suddenly had a bad feeling.
- Could it be that his face, in the eyes of the little mermaid, is actually the same as the concierge's face and the wig?
For the first time in his life, Zhou Suiyu had doubts about his appearance.
It was the first time for Shen An'an to come to a place like the research institute, and it felt novel everywhere.
And the management here is really strict, no matter which door you enter, you need to swipe your card.
Zhou Suiyu is still just a small researcher, so he doesn't have an independent office yet, so he can only take Shen An'an all the way to the public office.
Zhou Suiyu's colleagues were obviously stunned when they saw Zhou Suiyu bringing a girl in.
You must know that Zhou Suiyu is notoriously unfeminine in the research institute.
The most famous example is that there was a single, unmarried little girl in the office who wanted to show hospitality to Zhou Suiyu, so she brought Zhou Suiyu a breakfast made by herself.
The little girl had a good face, and was afraid of being rejected, so she lied to Zhou Suiyu and said that she bought it outside.
Zhou Suiyu refused, but finally accepted it.
The little girl thought that Zhou Suiyu accepted her breakfast because she was interested in her, but turned around and gave her the breakfast money.
Anyway, since then, when the little girl mentioned Zhou Suiyu, she always said: "Hey, his looks are indeed quite high, but it's a pity that his looks are all traded for emotional intelligence!"
But looking at Zhou Suiyu now, isn't it still considerate?
All the way, he led the little girl to his seat and sat down without saying a word, and also prepared snacks and water for the little girl.
So much so that everyone sighed in their hearts—their Zhou Da scientist, did he go to the island for more than half a year to transform himself?
Don't look at this group of scientists who are usually cold, but they are all young people in the end, and gossip is human nature, so when Zhou Suiyu left his seat and entered Zheng's office, the group chatted in their private group .
"Is this girl Zhou Suiyu's girlfriend?"
"I don't know! By the way, didn't he stay on the island all the time? I've been to that island before, and it was one meter desolate, so it must not be the girlfriend I found on the island. Is that what I found during the trip? But He only leaves the island once a month, doesn't he? He can find a girlfriend just like that, what a shame for those of us who roll around in the flowery world every day but always maintain a perfect body!"
"Look at the face, okay? When Zhou Shuai comes out, he can see for ten thousand years; you? Even if you brush your shoulders and your clothes sparkle, you can't spark love."
"I'm worried."
"I feel offended."
"Don't digress. Back to Zhou Suiyu's girlfriend. Why don't we send someone up to find out the situation?"
"Come, come, roll the dice and compare the points, and the one with the smallest number will be the one."
"…"
A group of people immersed their heads and rolled dice on their mobile phones, and before they could decide the winner, they heard footsteps ringing regularly in the quiet office.
Everyone looked at each other and looked up, and saw Xu Qingshu in the next office holding a glass of water and standing in front of Zhou Suiyu's desk.
Xu Qingshu is currently doing research on red coral. Red coral is also a very famous treasure in the sea. It is rumored that it grows only one inch in 20 years and only one kilogram in 300 years.
But the research didn't go particularly well.
And it may be because Zhuyu, the research topic of The Little Mermaid, is in front. Now Xu Qingshu doesn't think that any research topic he sees is special enough and not enough to attract attention.
In fact, everything is the same, so I'm afraid of comparison.
The more you compare, the better the good ones appear, and the more vulnerable the bad ones appear to be.
Therefore, Xu Qingshu hated Zhou Suiyu more than a while ago.
Because without Zhou Suiyu, the Little Mermaid could have belonged to him...
Moreover, he heard that Zhou Suiyu insisted on studying the little mermaid alone, and refused to form a team. He had no team spirit at all and only cared about his own selfishness. Xu Qingshu could not understand why Zheng Suo was so towards him.
He was doing experiments in the laboratory just now, but after hearing from a colleague in the laboratory that Zhou Suiyu was back, he deliberately walked out of the laboratory to take a look.
In the end, instead of seeing Zhou Suiyu, he saw Shen Anan sitting at Zhou Suiyu's desk.
Zhou Suiyu actually brought in a strange girl?
This is a rare occurrence.
So Xu Qingshu walked in with a cup of water without thinking.
Shen An'an is burying his head and carefully picking food in the bag.
Mango Melaleuca, Strawberry Pancake, Matcha Pudding, and Yogurt Toast Bread, all looked so delicious that Shen An'an didn't know where to start eating for a while.
Or just order soldiers and generals, and whoever gets them will eat first.
Before Shen Anan started, she felt a burning gaze stuck on her face.
Shen Anan turned her head to look over, oh, long time no see Xu Qingshu.
Shen Anan was wearing a wig and sunglasses, and the long gauze dress on her body was not the one Xu Qingshu had seen before, so Xu Qingshu really didn't connect the little girl in front of him with the little mermaid he was thinking of. Together.
He really thought this girl was Zhou Suiyu's girlfriend.
The reason why he stared at Shen An'an for a moment was just to see what kind of girl Zhou Suiyu, with his eyes above the top, would fall in love with.
It's a pity that the exaggerated sunglasses blocked most of Shen An'an's face, and the explosive head was a bit too stealthy, so that Xu Qingshu looked left and right, but he didn't see anything special about this girl.
At most, the skin is slightly whiter?
Oh, and the body is okay too.
Shen An'an didn't want to pay attention to Xu Qingshu at first, but this person watched endlessly, and standing here really affected her appetite, so she couldn't help raising her hand to hold the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and asked coldly, "What are you looking at? I didn't see you. Have you ever been a beauty?"
Xu Qingshu: "…"
Although Zhou Suiyu was chatting with Zheng Institute about the Science and Technology Progress Award in Zheng Institute's office, he kept half of his thoughts outside.
And when he entered the Zheng Institute's office, he deliberately opened the shutters between the Zheng Institute's office and the outside office, so as soon as Xu Qingshu appeared, Zhou Suiyu found out.
Although I really wanted to believe Shen An'an, the picture of Shen An'an hesitating between him and Xu Qingshu that time really left a heavy psychological shadow on Zhou Suiyu, and even if Zhou Suiyu trusted Shen An'an, it was true He couldn't trust Xu Qingshu, so he took the time to talk about what he wanted to say, and quickly ended the conversation and walked out.
As soon as he came out, he heard Shen An'an's confident sentence, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a beautiful woman?"
For some reason, Zhou Suiyu couldn't help but want to laugh.
In fact he did laugh.
He admitted that he did not laugh out loud, but Xu Qingshu turned his head and looked over as quickly as he heard his laughter. The expression on his face was as ugly as he expected, as if someone owed him tens of millions.
Shen An'an also saw Zhou Suiyu, but as soon as she saw Zhou Suiyu, the ice face that was facing Xu Qingshu quickly turned into a spring water: "Little brother, are you out? Is it over? Can you go? already?"
I don't know if it's Zhou Suiyu's illusion. He felt that as soon as Shen Anan's words "little brother" came out, the atmosphere of the whole office swayed for a moment.
He was a little embarrassed, but a little enjoying.
So instead of correcting Shen An'an's title, he coughed lightly and said calmly, "Well, let's go!"
Shen Anan got up immediately, put the pile of cakes she just took out into the bag, and then lifted her foot and walked towards Zhou Suiyu.
When passing by Xu Qingshu, Shen Anan gave him a particularly vicious look.
"Look again! Look again and I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Xu Qingshu: "…"
Zhou Suiyu gave Xu Qingshu a sympathetic look.
When other people say such things, they usually say it casually. Only this little mermaid said that it is true to throw people into the sea to feed the fish. Feed the fish.
After coming out of the research institute, Zhou Suiyu hesitated for a while, but in the end he asked the question that had been hidden in his heart: "Last time on the island, didn't you have to choose between me and the scientist just now, I remember you I hesitated for a long time at that time, and later even wanted to keep Xu Qingshu, can I ask, what were you thinking at the time?"
In fact, if it were changed to normal, Zhou Suiyu would definitely not ask this question, because he was afraid that he would be boring.
But just looking at this little mermaid's attitude towards Xu Qingshu, it was obviously too annoying. So Zhou Suiyu couldn't help but ask.
Because he felt that the situation at the time might have other hidden meanings.
There is indeed another secret, and it is the reason why Shen Anan is inconvenient to say.
After all, Shen An'an couldn't tell Zhou Suiyu that she had confused his identities with Xu Qingshu at first, and regarded Zhou Suiyu as the scumbag hero Xu Qingshu, and regarded Xu Qingshu as a good person...
This kind of proper black history is definitely not to be said.
Moreover, it has to involve transmigrating books or something, and maybe her identity will be completely exposed.
But since Zhou Suiyu had already asked, she certainly wouldn't be able to give an explanation at all.
Shen Anan thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something very important.
So she immediately said, "It's like this. Once, that colleague of yours ran to the reef to deliver food to me, saying that you were busy and didn't have time, so I asked him to help deliver it once."
Zhou Suiyu was obviously stunned.
Is there such a thing?
When did it happen?
Why is he completely unaware?
And he never asked Xu Qingshu to help deliver a meal on his behalf. Xu Qingshu's words must be a lie... No, a liar.
Zhou Suiyu thought about it for a while and guessed which day this happened. Because Xu Qingshu can't cook at all, he usually cooks noodles at most. The only time he cooks is when he takes a girl to the island.
No wonder Zhou Suiyu waited for the Little Mermaid on the reef for so long that day before the Little Mermaid appeared. It turned out that there was such a hidden relationship between them.
Zhou Suiyu asked anxiously, "Then what?"
Shen Anan said indignantly: "Then, he actually stole my meat!! For the few dishes you asked him to give, he picked out all the meat and ate it, leaving only a little green vegetables for me. You said Is he too much?"
Zhou Suiyu was silent for a long time, and finally said faintly: "That's really too much."
Shen An'an: "Right? I kept him at the time, just wanted him to explain to me clearly why he was stealing my meat, and then I thought, oops, will I be able to speak then, this question is for a while It was definitely not clear half way. So I swept him into the sea."
After speaking, Shen Anan silently gave herself a compliment in her heart: Shen Anan, you are really a clever little ghost. This lie actually made you reach Consummation.
