Volume Eleven: Underwater Carnival (3)
E Jingbai discovered something very strange.
Yan Mi is famous for her taciturn and bad habits. It is not because of her bad temper, but as she said before, he lives in his own world and always has a sense of isolation from others through a layer of film. So no matter how much he loves various anime, likes to make up for it, and loves to use Yan's words, his appearance and temperament determine that ordinary people are like a mountain to admire him. Several people come crazy and the field team members of the General Office dare not be too arrogant to him. E Jingbai has long been used to the fact that no matter where Yan Mi is, he is silently looking for his cuteness in the crowd. But who can tell him why he fell asleep and Yan Mi was with the seafood in the Mermaid Town... Cough cough, no, the sea comrades are familiar with?!
E Jingbai would not admit that his mood was very subtle, he just found it incredible!
The incredible E Jingbai watched Yan Mi sit and chat with a group of sea tribes in front of a snack bar in Mermaid Town. Although Yan Mi didn't say much, it was true that he was communicating seriously, instead of always wandering around like before, he was always too lazy to deal with others. Beside him, there were lionfish dancing, six-legged king crabs, glowing jellyfish, dolphins standing like humans, octopus-headed and human-body octopus lady, curved eels thicker than ten Yan Mi... In short, all the sea tribes who came to participate in the Undersea Carnival, only Yan Mi is of a different race. E Jingbai thought a little confused - Does Yan Mi prefer to deal with non-humans? No, there are half of the non-humans in the field team of the General Office!
After thinking for a long time, Yan Mi said goodbye to the enthusiastic new friends without feeling at the end. When she was about to leave, she happened to see E Jingbai frowning in the corner. Yan Mi's eyes lit up, and her face was still paralyzed. He was already very accustomed to the steps of stepping on the water at the bottom of the sea. He walked lightly and elegantly. After a while, he walked to E Jingbai, which was shocked by Mr. Hanba, whose keenness had decreased because of being at the bottom of the sea.
"Xiaobai~" Yan Mi used her voice without changing tone to express the effect of the wavy lines.
E Jingbai's eyelids twitched and asked, "Have you finished talking?"
Yan Mi nodded vigorously, "Yes."
E Jingbai was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking: "Do you... like the ocean very much?" He always felt that Yan Mi would be much more lively after coming to the sea. Had he found a new friend before he could see this day?!
As a result, Yan Mi's eyes immediately became brighter and her voice became louder: "I like it~"
E Jingbai's mood is particularly complicated. The ocean is definitely the nemesis of arid drought that can create aridity. "...why do you like it?"
Yan Mi said: "Because seafood is delicious!"
Oh, it turns out that I think seafood is good... Wait, seafood is delicious?! E Jingbai looked at the new friends Yan Mi had just made with strange eyes. Well, it really looked like a pot of good seafood meal. He couldn't help but say with a headache: "...You won't think about how to cook them in your heart, right?" This is the sea clan who has opened his wisdom and cannot eat it!
Yan Mi looked at him in confusion, "They can all talk and can't eat it."
E Jingbai: "..." So do you just feel very appetizing when staying in a bunch of delicious "ingredients"?
Although Yan Mi said this, E Jingbai still felt very dangerous and felt that feeding comrades maize was a safer approach. Some erotic sea tribes can't speak!
So E Jingbai took Yan Mi to a popular restaurant in Mermaid Town to have an authentic seafood feast, and it was just to catch and cook and eat immediately. Of course, this was not something E Jingbai asked himself, so he would not admit that Fei Rong and the others were thinking about what was delicious and fun in Mermaid Town on the way!
Yan Mi suddenly said, "Xiaobai, ah~"
"Ah?" E Jingbai was stunned and subconsciously whispered, but a piece of white meat was stuffed in. The tender and plump smell of meat spread between his lips and tongue, and he was stunned for a moment.
Yan Mi didn't think there was anything wrong with her feeding. After solving the stone fish, he went to tinker with the blue lobster the size of an arm, picked out the meat inside, put it on the plate in front of E Jingbai, and added the natural sauce that he thought was delicious after trying it. E Jingbai felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't worry about me, you can eat it yourself."
Yan Mi blinked, "But Xiaobai, you have been in a daze."
"...Ahem, I was just distracted before, but now I won't." E Jingbai was a little embarrassed. He couldn't explain that he had been thinking about the person in front of him, right? Thinking of this, E Jingbai's mood became strange again. He didn't know whether this situation was good or bad. He always felt that Yan Mi seemed to be too easy to touch his mood.
This is not normal - E Jingbai told himself that whether it was the decades he was a human or the thousands of years he became a drought, he rarely tried his mood to fluctuate because of a person. He felt a subtle feeling of depression, but he couldn't say anything about depression.
E Jingbai looked up at Yan Mi who was seriously sashimi opposite him. His cold and arrogant face was as delicate and cold as ever. If he hadn't been familiar, he would have thought that the other party's mood was as cold as that face, but E Jingbai could tell the expression of satisfaction and pleasure from his subtle changes in his eyes. Logically speaking, the one who was the one who could not observe the words and expressions in the field team of the General Office was E Jingbai, but even Lin Yingkong had no choice but to Yan Mi. He could just notice Yan Mi's slight and inauspicious mood changes. In fact, since the Chinese New Year this year, E Jingbai and Yan Mi have met a lot less often, but this skill did not seem to disappear with the distance, but there were signs of becoming more skilled.
He himself knew his emotional incompetence, so, was he real? - E Jingbai said in his heart again. Sometimes he doubted his observation of Yan Mi's emotions, but every time he imagined it, it seemed almost the same as Yan Mi's mood. This could not be explained by simple guesses. He began to feel a little irritable, thinking that he might be far away from Yan Mi, then he would not always feel that his heart could not fall into the bottom, and Yan Mi would not think that he was a defective product, but he could not express the emotion of not knowing whether it was sad or lost.
"Hello~ Jingbai, Professor Yan~" Just as E Jingbai was thinking about it, Zhu Mengtian suddenly appeared alone from an unknown corner, sat directly next to E Jingbai, quickly picked up a plate of cut sashimi and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating: "It turns out that you are so unfaithful to be here... Ah, I slept all day and I am almost starving to death..."
E Jingbai's thoughts were interrupted all of a sudden. If it were normal, he would definitely throw Zhu Mengtian out, but now he was relieved. He was afraid that he would say something irreversible to Yan Mi if he wanted to continue, so Zhu Mengtian, who was always dying, became pleasing to the eyes at this moment.
Unfortunately, the person who disliked him turned into Yan Mi. Zhu Mengtian got the sashimi in one breath. As a result, as soon as he put down the plate, he found that Yan Mi, who had always been looking at people directly, staring at him with a lone eagle. At this time, he looked at Zhu Mengtian as if he was staring at a mouse, with ice slags everywhere. Zhu Mengtian was so scared that his hands could not help but shrink back when he went to get another plate of sea cucumber. He said tentatively with a sad face: "...Professor Yan?" Could it be that he destroyed their two-person world? But he was really hungry!
Then Yan Mi said coldly: "You ate Xiaobai's sashimi."
Zhu Mengtian was stunned, "What?"
Only then did E Jingbai notice what he was eating, and his brows frowned, "This is what Yan Mi cut." But he didn't know that Yan Mi cut it for him.
"..." Zhu Mengtian's expression suddenly seemed to swallow a plate of blades.
Five minutes later, Yan Mi handed another plate of sashimi to E Jingbai with satisfaction, and Zhu Mengtian was beside him and asked to dismantle the sea crab meat... for them to eat.
I always felt that Zhu Mengtian's eyes were too resentful, and when I looked at him, I was too strange and the atmosphere was too subtle. E Jingbai subconsciously broke the silence and told Zhu Mengtian: "Why did you come out alone?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Mengtian immediately became even more sad, "My colleagues agreed to love you, you are so embarrassed to say, you just threw me in Shaoxian's house, do you know that I slept on the sofa for twenty hours? Do you know that when I woke up, I was beaten out by Shaoxian without taking a dime on my body! Do you know that I couldn't even find your room and almost hungry to catch a sea clan and chew it!"
"..." E Jingbai's face was expressionless, "The room booking was done by Assistant Lin. You tell him." Is it useful to tell him?
Zhu Mengtian shrank shamelessly and said in disappointment: "Forget it, I would rather be beaten by Shaoxian a hundred times than provoke Assistant Lin once."
E Jingbai decided to show his colleague's love and said to him: "Assistant Lin said that during the Undersea Carnival, you should live with Executive Officer Zong."
"…!" Zhu Mengtian glared, "Why?!"
E Jingbai said mercifully: "When we came, there were only four double rooms left. It happened that Yan Mi and I had the same room..." So Zhu someone became the redundant one...
Zhu Mengtian almost wanted to hug him and cried, "Jingbai, how could you abandon me? No, I'll squeeze you with you these days!"
E Jingbai said coldly in an instant: "No, only the minister and Assistant Lin's room are equipped with the living room. The others are double standard rooms. You can squeeze with them."
Zhu Mengtian's face turned blue, "I will never see the sun on the ground again for disturbing Assistant Lin and Minister," said Mr. Meng.
E Jingbai glanced at him, "Then you go to bed with Executive Zong, anyway, everyone knows your relationship with him."
"...Wait," Zhu Mengtian looked confused, "What's my relationship with him?" This tone was not right!
E Jingbai looked at him with an idiot's eyes, "I was there when you confessed to him twice."
"..." Zhu Mengtian continued to be confused, "You are all on the scene, do you still believe those rumors?!"
E Jingbai: "Haha."
The simple words pounced on Zhu Mengtian's face, and everything was gone without saying anything. Zhu Mengtian went crazy in an instant: "Ahhhh how many times do you want me to explain! Those are rumors! Rumors! I fell in love with Zong Shaoxian..." The words are called "hell"!
But before he finished speaking, a girl's voice rang out in great sorrow: "Ah, Brother Meng Tian, you really fall in love with my brother..."
"..." Zhu Mengtian turned around stiffly. Seeing Zong Shaofeng, who had just sat down to prepare to order dishes at the next table, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and ran away again. Di Bingqiao and Fei Rong, who were sitting down with her, handed Zhu Mengtian a meaningful look, chasing a heartbroken girl, and the background music sounded again - love was deep and rain, in the mist and rain, I remember that you were in love with me, the car was like flowing water and horses like dragons...
Zhu Mengtian swallowed hard, "I don't know if I'm sleeping for too long and my eyes are dazzled. I just seemed to see a very familiar person talking to me, ha, ha, ha..."
E Jingbai mercilessly interrupted his dying struggle, "Well, Zong Shaofeng, the sister of Executive Zong, Zong Shaofeng."
"..." Zhu Mengtian silently slapped his handsome face into the empty plate in front of him, and his whole body was filled with the words "I can't bear to jump into the Yellow River" - he can't wash his entire body in the sea now...
"I'll go to the bathroom." Yan Mi stood up suddenly, said hello and left the seat. E Jingbai was about to ask him if he knew where the bathroom was, but he had run away and no one was seen. E Jingbai was puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Mengtian pulled out his head from the empty plate and looked at the empty seat opposite in confusion.
E Jingbai took his eyes back, "Yan Mi said he was going to the bathroom."
Zhu Mengtian poked him with his elbow and shook his eyes and said, "Have I disturbed your date?"
"..." E Jingbai glanced at him, "We're just coming out for dinner."
But he obviously couldn't satisfy Zhu Mengtian's curiosity. Zhu Mengtian looked at him with an inquiring look for a long time, "Okay, since that's the case, then what were you thinking just now?"
"Just now?" E Jingbai was puzzled.
"Before I come," Zhu Mengtian reminded him, "You look at Yan Mi in a strange way, why?"
E Jingbai frowned, "Strange?"
"Yes, it's very strange," Zhu Mengtian pinched his chin and thought about the adjective, "It's like...who's worried about how to break up, are you two quarreling?" If he hadn't seen E Jingbai's expression, he wouldn't have been a light bulb that disturbs people's love, and would have been kicked to death by a donkey!
E Jingbai now feels that he understands Zhu Mengtian’s feelings when he was misunderstood by Zong Shaofeng, he fell in love with Zong Shaoxian. “Yan Mi and I are just friends, what are we going to break up?”
"Huh?" Zhu Mengtian leaned closer to examine his paralyzed face, "No, you don't like Yan Mi?"
E Jingbai was helpless, "Where did I show that I made you think I like him?" How many times did this explain?
Zhu Mengtian was surprised, "Do you think you didn't act obviously enough? Apart from our field team, you can get the best fit with him! No, your relationship with the members in our group is not so good. You would rather be with him than squeeze with me!" Well, this is what he most resents.
E Jingbai felt that he was talking nonsense, "Since he is a good friend, isn't it normal for him to have a better relationship?"
"Where is normal?" Zhu Mengtian was incredible, "Have you ever seen a friend who would help cut sashimi and deliver it to your mouth?"
E Jingbai thought of Yan Mi's direct feeding him just now, and was embarrassed and forced to calm down, "You don't know that Yan Mi's personality is strange."
Zhu Mengtian despises him and dares not admit it. "Fang Shuping was so heartless about him at the beginning - well, in the end, he said it with heart - in short, he has never paid much attention to others. You have only known each other for a few months and have become so good. Is it possible for people with strange personalities to get along with you? The question is how many people with strange personalities are in our headquarters? I have never seen how good they get along with you."
In terms of words, E Jingbai must be unable to say that Zhu Mengtian was, so he simply gave up, "So what do you want to express?"
Zhu Meng Tianxu looked at him, "What can I express? I just feel that you seem to be quite cold to Yan Mi recently. I will show your love and care about your love life." So can you let me squeeze in your house for the sake of love!
E Jingbai looked around and couldn't find Yan Mi's shadow. He might not have come back so soon. There was no need to worry about the public security in Mermaid Town. E Jingbai hesitated for a moment and decided to ask a professional to consult, so as not to cause some corn to be sad. So he said, "It's not that I'm indifferent to Yan Mi, but I think... I can be sure that I may have a good impression of him, but it's not as good as I like him. I'm not sure about him."
Zhu Mengtian didn't expect him to confess so directly, and he was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you not sure about his thoughts?" He was obviously sleeping together...
E Jingbai asked him: "Do you remember that Bingqiao developed a topic to study whether Yan Mi has social disorder?"
"Ah?" Zhu Mengtian was confused, "I thought she was having fun."
"Of course not," E Jingbai shook his head, "Don't you think there is something wrong with Yan Mi's way of communicating with people?"
Zhu Mengtian's eyelids twitched, "I always thought he didn't need to communicate with others." He always looked like he was a mortal who was away from me...
E Jingbai recalled and found that although Yan Mi went out with the field team of the General Office many times, she seemed to have not communicated with the team members much, so she had to explain: "I suspect he did not have any psychological problems, but was congenital..." He paused and thought of a more appropriate word, "Emotional scarcity."
Zhu Mengtian was really stunned, "What do you mean is he has no feelings?"
"It's not... it's just a bit weak," E Jingbai recalled Yan Mi's expression and words on New Year's Eve, and his brows frowned unconsciously, "It seems that he can't have a deep affection for people."
