Chapter 281 The Silly and Sweet Mermaid Story (11)
Jiang Zui heard Lou Shuhan's voice and subconsciously looked towards the door. After seeing Lou Shuhan's figure, Jiang Zui instantly smiled and shouted loudly: "Wife!"
At the same time, Zhang He quickly turned around and greeted Lou Shuhan, "Senior Brother."
Lou Shuhan didn't say anything, but walked in slowly with a cold look.
Lou Shuhan did not speak to Zhang He first, but said to Jiang Zui, "You saw an outsider coming, why don't you avoid him?"
No one knew how reluctant he felt when he saw Zhang He's hand was about to touch Jiang Zui's fish tail.
After spending some time with them, he knew that the mermaid's tail was very sensitive and could only be touched by someone very close to her.
Besides, Jiang Zui's fish tail would tremble as soon as he touched it...
He felt a little sour when he thought that Jiang Zui would let an outsider touch his fish tail.
In fact, Lou Shuhan misunderstood.
Jiang Zui would never let Zhang He touch him, because he was wary of Zhang He from the beginning. It was only because he heard Lou Shuhan's voice that Jiang Zui did not take immediate action.
Hearing Lou Shuhan's angry tone, Jiang Zui's eyes flashed with a smile, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked in confusion: "Wife, he said he is your junior apprentice? What is a junior apprentice?"
Zhang He, who was standing by, felt a little unhappy when he saw Lou Shuhan coming up to chat with Jiang Zui first, so he interrupted, "Senior Brother, my name is Zhang He. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your assistant. You don't know how much I..." admire you.
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Lou Shuhan frowned and answered, "Wait, assistant? Who told you that you were going to be my assistant?"
A few days ago, an investor recommended a researcher to Lou Shuhan, but Lou Shuhan refused. After that, the investor used threats and inducements, and Lou Shuhan remembered that he was busy with experiments all day and Jiang Zui would be bored alone, so he agreed.
But his purpose was to find a playmate for Jiang Zui, not to be his assistant.
He, Lou Shuhan, doesn't need an assistant.
No one else would ever interfere in the experiments he was conducting.
He would rather the experiment progress slowly than have someone around to be an eyesore.
He doesn't trust anyone.
In fact, this is related to something that Lou Shuhan had experienced before.
Lou Shuhan almost failed to graduate from a project because of his friends and mentor.
His friends and mentor stole his research results, which caused Lou Shu to become afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake. From then on, no one else interfered with any of his research.
Zhang He was stunned when he heard what Lou Shuhan said: "But...you are not..."
"I did want someone, but not to be my assistant."
Zhang He pursed his lips, thought for a long time, and said, "Brother, since I'm here, please just give me your orders. It doesn't matter whether I'm your assistant or not."
As long as I can be closer to my brother, it doesn’t matter what I do.
Lou Shuhan said calmly: "Okay."
"Since you have seen it, I will tell you the truth.
This is Jiang Zui, also a mermaid. You are here to take care of him."
Hearing this, Jiang Zui added in a dissatisfied tone: "Also, I am also your senior brother's husband."
Hearing what Lou Shuhan and Jiang Zui said, Zhang He felt excited and sad at the same time.
I was excited because the Jiang Zui in front of me was a real mermaid.
Real mermaid!
Amazing!
Mermaids actually exist!
The sad thing is that Jiang Zui revealed his identity in front of Lou Shuhan, but Lou Shuhan did not refute it.
However, the sadness was fleeting.
Mermaids and humans are not of the same species, how can they be together?!
There is still hope for him and his senior brother.
Thinking of this, the disappointment on Zhang He's face disappeared, and he said to Lou Shuhan: "I am willing to stay and take care of the mermaid."
After a pause, he continued, "It's just... when did Senior Brother marry the mermaid? When was the wedding banquet held? Why didn't he invite us classmates?"
Lou Shuhan glanced at Zhang He with a sharp look and said nothing.
When Zhang He saw Lou Shuhan's eyes, he knew what he meant. His face brightened instantly and he said with a smile: "It turns out that I misunderstood. Sorry, Senior Brother."
Jiang Zui saw Lou Shuhan and Zhang He talking, his eyes were a little confused, "Husband?! What is marriage? What is a wedding banquet? What are classmates?"
When Zhang He heard Jiang Zui asking Lou Shuhan such an idiotic question, he secretly felt delighted.
A silly mermaid like Jiang Zui has no common topics with his senior brother.
He vaguely knew the truth as to why Jiang Zui called his senior brother "husband" and his senior brother did not refute.
Maybe, this mermaid was tricked by my senior brother.
He had also secretly observed the pinhole marks on Jiang Zui's arm before, and thought that his senior brother had imprisoned the mermaid and was secretly studying her.
He didn't know the progress of his senior's research, but he was very curious about the magic of mermaids.
Lou Shuhan explained to Jiang Zui calmly: "You don't need to know these. This is Zhang He. If you have any problems in the future, just look for him."
"Can't I find you?" Jiang Zui retorted in a low voice.
"I need to work."
"Work?"
"If you don't work, you won't have money. If you don't have money, you won't be able to buy snacks, and you won't have snacks to eat."
“Are you tired from work?”
Lou Shuhan looked at Jiang Zui's distressed expression, and instantly felt like teasing him, so he said, "Tired."
Hearing this, Jiang Zui quickly replied: "Then you don't have to work. I have money. I have a lot of money. I can buy snacks for myself."
"Money?" Lou Shuhan was concerned about a question, "Do you have money? Little Pearl?"
"certainly not."
"Don't you humans want some gold? There's a large piece of it on the bottom of the sea. I can fish it all up for you."
Hearing this, Zhang He's pupils widened instantly, his mouth opened wide, and he looked incredible, thinking to himself: Under the sea... gold...
It's not what he thinks, is it? !
Then...then they got it?!
Lou Shuhan and Zhang He had similar ideas at the beginning.
But the difference between Lou Shuhan and Zhang He is that Lou Shuhan was just surprised but not greedy.
But Zhang He was different. He had it in mind from the very beginning.
Lou Shuhan frowned and asked, "Gold?"
"Yes, all that gold is mine. You are my wife, so naturally what's mine is yours, so that gold is also yours."
"No, I don't need money now. I'll ask you for it when I need it." Lou Shuhan refused.
Zhang He felt very sad when he heard this.
Ah ah ah ah ah--
Gold? ! ! !
That's gold?!
Although he is not short of money, no one would complain about having too little money.
For a moment, an idea suddenly emerged in Zhang He's mind. Since Lou Shuhan didn't want it, he, Zhang He, wanted it.
Zhang He thought that after he had established a good relationship with the mermaid, it would not be too much to secretly ask for some gold.
