Chapter 2483: Seeing Scales Again
The bitterness on Shan Zhe's face became even more intense.
He scratched his cheek uncomfortably.
"Jinse is not a human being."
Now that I’ve said it once…
It's much easier to say it again.
…
"What is she if not a human being?"
A smile appeared on Xiao Zhu's face.
"Youkai don't-"
"She's a mermaid."
Shan Zhe said seriously.
…
"...Beautiful, mermaid?!"
Xiao Zhu yelled out uncontrollably.
"Ahem~"
He touched his neck.
The sound returned to normal.
"Mermaid?"
He repeated what he said before.
"Are you serious?"
"Have you recently...been obsessed with fairy tales?"
Xiao Zhu reached out and wanted to touch Shan Zhe's forehead.
Isn't this person suffering from a high fever now?
So it's all nonsense.
…
"Adong."
Shan Zhe dodged his friend's hand.
"I am serious."
…
"I'm serious too."
Xiao Zhu looked serious.
"Azhe, let's go to the hospital first."
"other-"
"Adong!"
Shan Zhe rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"I'm not kidding you."
"I told you you wouldn't believe me..."
…
"How do you expect me to trust you?"
Xiao Zhu clenched his hands with a look of absurdity on his face.
"Azhe, we are all intellectuals in the new era."
"I received a scientific education."
"I believe in materialism."
Xiao Zhu paused slightly.
"You told me your girlfriend is not a human?!"
"Is...a mermaid?"
Xiao Zhu's face was a little distorted.
"Tell me, if it were you, would you believe it?"
…
Shan Zhe was silent.
If it were him, he... wouldn't believe it.
He probably thought there was something wrong with Adong's brain.
Like Adong just now, I want to take Adong to the hospital for a checkup.
…
"I believe."
Shan Zhe and Xiao Zhu were startled by a sudden sound.
They suddenly turned around and looked.
It's him……
The florist's friend...
…
While Shan Zhe was talking to Xiao Zhu, Xiao Xiao and the store manager remained quiet.
Shan Zhe and Xiao Zhu almost forgot the existence of these two people.
…
"What did you say?"
Shan Zhe looked at the stranger.
He thought he was a friend of A Dong or the flower shop manager.
"You believe me?"
Shan Zhe had an expression on his face that he thought he had heard wrong.
Why...would you believe him?
Adong's reaction was the normal reaction he expected.
…
"because this."
Xiao Xiao spread his palms.
There is a shining scale lying on the palm of the hand.
…
Shan Zhe suddenly stood up.
The chair legs made a screeching sound as they scraped against the ground.
"this……"
What he said was a bit awkward.
"How...how did you get this?!"
This is obviously...
…
"what? What?"
Shan Zhe's unexpected reaction shocked Xiao Zhu and the store manager.
Xiao Zhu hurriedly came to Xiao Xiao's side.
But……
He frowned.
In his eyes, there was nothing on Master Xiao's open palm.
So what’s the explanation for Shan Zhe’s reaction?
Did he miss it?
Still not looking for the right place?
He couldn't help but look at the store manager opposite.
A look of eagerness and inquiry.
…
The store manager shook his head.
He didn't see anything either.
But compared to Xiao Zhu's confusion, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
No wonder Master Xiao suddenly went to Mr. Shan's house to look for someone.
He was wondering what clue... caused Master Xiao to make such a big change in his attitude.
After all, Master Xiao and Mr. Shan do not know each other.
Previously, Master Xiao had not shown any concern for Mr. Shan's affairs, even going so far as to go to his home to find someone.
He didn't even care about this.
Even though he was a little worried about Mr. Shan's condition.
What's more, Master Xiao is basically a stranger to Mr. Shan?
...
So this is ah……
The store manager suddenly felt a little lucky.
That day he invited Master Xiao.
Otherwise, he might never discover the clues Mr. Shan left in his store.
...
Xiao Zhu frowned and was about to speak.
But he was stopped by the store manager.
Seeing the store manager shaking his head at him, although he was confused, Xiao Zhu still closed his mouth unwillingly.
...
"You left this in the flower shop."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
It seemed that no movement was noticed between the store manager and Xiao Zhu.
...
"......ah?"
Shan Zhe didn't react.
"I...left in the flower shop?"
"it's me......"
He murmured.
"Why do I have this on my body..."
He doesn't even know.
...
"you do not know?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Maybe I accidentally got it on you."
...
"Won't-"
Shan Zhe retorted subconsciously.
But when it came to the rest, he was a little unsure.
After all, accidents are accidents because they are not noticed.
...
"or......"
Xiao Xiao's voice paused, "Someone did it on purpose."
"Did you do it on purpose?"
Shan Zhe repeated softly.
...
"Do you know what it does?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on the scales on his palm.
...
"effect?"
Shan Zhe felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"What does it do?"
"Isn't it just a scale?"
...
Scales?
Xiao Zhu and the store manager looked at each other.
Then they all turned their attention to Master Xiao's still open palm.
It wasn't until Master Xiao's voice sounded again that they looked away.
There was a bit of disappointment in his eyes.
They still found nothing.
Compared to the store manager, Xiao Zhu has more doubts and weirdness on his face.
...
"Um."
"It's a scale."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "A scale that can be positioned."
...
"?!"
position?!
Suddenly a thunder exploded in Shan Zhe's mind.
Is that so?
Is that so?!
He just said...
Shan Zhe stumbled a few steps with a pale face.
The leg hit the chair.
He fell backwards into the chair.
If Xiao Zhu hadn't helped Shan Zhe in time, Shan Zhe almost fell to one side.
...
"Azhe?"
Xiao Zhu shouted worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Are you okay?"
...
Shan Zhe seemed to be trapped in his own emotions.
I didn't hear any concern from my friends at all.
"So that's it..."
"I never found out..."
Shan Zhe murmured.
"No wonder..."
etc!
Shan Zhe suddenly stood up.
The excessive movement caused the chair behind him to overturn, making a dull sound.
He didn't care.
Instead, he rummaged around on his body eagerly.
...
"Azhe?"
Xiao Zhu was puzzled by his friend's sudden action.
What's going on?
In a short period of time, he was "dazzled" by his friend's surprise and shock.
He had no idea what was happening.
The hands that stayed in mid-air looked a little helpless.
...
"No no......"
Shan Zhe went through all the pockets on his body.
He took off his coat and shook it eagerly.
"Nope......"
...
"Azhe!"
Xiao Zhu held Shan Zhe's shoulders and said, "Calm down!"
"What happened?"
"What are you looking for?"
