For Winston, the bamboo basket has no idea.

His life has nothing to do with Winston, Winston doesn't want him as a mermaid, and he doesn't like Winston. So no matter what attitude Winston treats him, he will not fall into the devil because of this, in fact, in Bamboo Hoop's view, Winston's so-called respect for mermaids is too superficial, although for this reason, he specially learned about the things that need to be paid attention to when taking care of mermaids, and he respects the most basic life, not mermaids, not bamboo hoops.

And the most basic respect, maybe after falling in love with Xia Fan, was covered up, otherwise he would not have ignored the bamboo hoop again and again, although what happened later, there were too many irresistible factors in the middle, but the original way Winston handled things was enough to get a glimpse of his attitude.

Just like today, he is sorry for not being able to pick up the bamboo hoop in person, how much real apology is there in his heart?

In the end, it is the identity of mermaids, and to put it bluntly, it is not enough for humans to respect them from the heart. Humans have always been superior to mermaids, and Winston grew up in such a family and entered the military early, so it is understandable that he doesn't like fragile merfolk.

The bamboo basket smiled, the mermaid, it is not so weak, lowered its eyelids to cover its eyes, since they can't recognize it, then, let them see - mermaids are not just protected creatures. He can't do it anyway, and he doesn't have the mental strength to do it, and it is impossible to change his concept for many years. But if he wants to at least make his life better, he will have to make changes, reverse the inherent thinking of human beings, and break their distorted ideas.

He will not let the bamboo basket be the first case of that humiliation, and he will try to make this first case less insulting, human and mermaid are no different.

But this is not a trivial matter, and we have to figure it out slowly, and there is a long way to go.

Bamboo Basket was eating, looking at the curious gaze coming from the chair opposite, as harmless as a small animal, looking at the food on his plate, his eyes were full of salivation, but he tried his best to control Iris who didn't say it, Bamboo Basket couldn't help laughing, the recipes of mermaids and humans rarely coincide, humans need a lot of calories, and the strengthening of physique and digestion allow them to eat meat and get nutrients from it, while mermaids are mostly vegetarian, and there are a few exceptions, and once you eat the wrong thing, it will be indigested poorly, causing pain, Therefore, mermaid food is usually prepared and can be sold in shopping malls, and of course it can be made fresh, and mermaid nutritionists rely on this, and they are also very popular in the empire.

Iris has a fried golden steak in the middle of the plate, and the bamboo basket plate is similar to a fruit and vegetable salad, Iris has never seen the food eaten by mermaids before, and now he is of course curious when he looks at it, will his stomach be full if he only eats those? And it doesn't look delicious, it's not fragrant at all...... But looking at the way the basket eats, it looks like it's delicious......

"Iris?" The bamboo basket tapped the plate with a silver spoon and made a pleasant sound, "Will you sit next to me?" Let's eat together? ”

Because Winston said that he would come back in the evening, Iris seemed to be very familiar, so he didn't wait for Winston, and first ordered Mr. Butler to make dinner for dinner, which inexplicably made Bamboo Hoop a little distressed, and his attitude towards Iris was extremely gentle, such a cute child, who would hate it?

And he still has to live in Winston's house for a long time, Iris's identity, and he is smart enough, so he is destined to have a difficult future achievement, and befriending Iris will definitely help him live a better life. If he is destined to have a child, he also needs to become stronger in order to have the right to choose the other half of himself, instead of matching it to someone who has either heard of it or has not heard of it, and does not know it at all.

If he could, he would also like to look for it, in case that person ...... Is it too?

As soon as this thought came to him, he shook his head vigorously and drove it out of his mind—such a thought was too dangerous, and he had no room to let his guard down. His nails were embedded in his palms, and there was a stinging pain in his heart, even so, he had to move forward, even if he betrayed a qiē and carried all the pain, he couldn't go on if he didn't go on.

If you don't have too many extravagant expectations, you won't be too disappointed.

So no matter what the identity of that person is, whether he has a grudge or a ...... close, he will not be happy and sad because of this, and lose himself. He has more important things, it is enough to have the previous life, Zhu Zhen thought like this, but a pain appeared in his heart for no reason, which made his throat itch, and his chest was very stuffy, as if he wanted to cough again.

Iris was embarrassed, moved his chair to the side of the bamboo hoop, climbed into the chair and finished it, lowered his head and took the fork to eat, his eyes began to dare not look at the bamboo hoop again, the bamboo hoop pressed all the thoughts, smiled lightly, dug a spoonful of food, called Iris, when Iris looked up, put the food into Iris's mouth, looked at Iris's wide-eyed panicked and helpless look, squinted his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, "How about it?" I look at Iris, you really want to eat, is it delicious? ”

The bamboo hoop withdrew the spoon and put it on the dining table, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at Iris with a smile, watching his two little hands clenched into small fists like buns, the tips of his ears slowly turning red, encouraging his cheeks to eat the food, his feet wringed under the chair for a long time, struggling between honesty and politeness, politely telling him that the food shared by others needs to be praised, but honesty is not allowed, the food of mermaids is so unpalatable......

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and Iris looked up with tears in his eyes, and he looked a little timid, "I—I'm sad...... I'm sorry you have to eat such food every day, they are so unpalatable......"

With a relaxed smile, Bamboo lowered the chair so that his gaze was level with Iris, gentle but serious, "Iris, thank you for your honesty, but I don't find them unpalatable." After that, he smiled again, tidied up his clothes, and stretched out his hand, "Iris, it's nice to meet you, I'm a mermaid, my name is Bamboo Basket, I hope I can be your friend and live together in the future." ”

Yes, friend.

Iris breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the bamboo hoop say that it was not unpalatable, and then wondered because of the bamboo hoop's words, "Friend? But aren't you my father's mermaid? We...... Can you be friends? ”

Chris doesn't mind that Iris treats Winston as a father, but it doesn't mean that he accepts that Bamboo Hoop becomes Iris's mermaid father, Iris is Winston's son, and Bamboo Hoop is Winston's mermaid, these are two completely independent things, and he will not be promoted to Iris's mermaid father because Bamboo Hoop becomes Winston's mermaid, Iris needs a father to educate him and guide him, but he doesn't necessarily need a mermaid father.

At least for now, there is no need for a table.

Moreover, Bamboo Hoop is only twelve years older than Iris, and he doesn't have much feeling for children at all, and getting along with Iris will never be an ordinary mermaid and his own child.

There is no need to impose regulations on their relationship, so as not to have a bad feeling for the bamboo basket after Iris grows up a little, it is better to go with the flow, as long as Iris gets along well with the bamboo basket, the two people can be happy, and the relationship between them is comfortable and satisfied, it is the best. So when Chris told Iris about this problem, he didn't say much, only said that it was Winston's mermaid, and Iris only knew half of it, and knew that he had to respect the bamboo hoop, so he was a little nervous at first and didn't know how to get along.

"Of course, little fool," Bamboo Flicked Iris with his index finger, "I'm your father's mermaid, and being friends with me and you aren't contradictory." Aren't you happy to be friends with me? ”

Iris was anxious and was about to refute, when the door of the restaurant behind him was opened, and Mr. Butler's respectful voice sounded, "Here it is, General." Need me to prepare dinner for you? ”

Hearing this, the bamboo basket turned his head to look in the direction of the door.

Iris grabbed the bamboo basket's clothes and turned her head to look at it.

Winston raised his eyes and saw such a scene, two different faces, but the eyes were the same clean, and suddenly he felt that this picture was very beautiful.

Answering the butler's words with a soft hum, the butler turned into the kitchen, Winston heard the words of the bamboo basket, and was a little surprised in his heart, this mermaid seemed to be slightly different from what he imagined, of course, it was just seemingly. Winston stepped out on long legs, pulled out a chair across from them, and sat down upright.

Looking at this sitting posture, the bamboo basket seemed to understand Iris, why did he sit upright when he answered the phone, it seemed that it was up and down? But when it appears in Iris, there is really a contrast, which is particularly likable. Of course, the man in front of him is not bad at all, Iris is cute, and the only word to describe the man in front of him is stability.

At least 1.9 meters tall and physically strong, at this point alone, it brings countless feelings of oppression; The face is undoubtedly handsome, honey-skinned healthy and sexy, the whole person is like a beast ready to attack, both explosive and hidden flawless, this is a person who looks extremely dangerous, but also a person who is extremely calm, he is a dragon at the bottom, a hidden leopard, and what is even more terrifying is that he has a pair of sharp eyes, as amber □□as Iris, but completely different, there is no bloody aura of killing, but the whole person is telling the majesty and danger that cannot be offended.

The military uniform on his body completely shows all the charm, such a man is enough to make all women scream for him behind his back, just like walking hormones, but unfortunately, there is no such creature as a woman in this world.

"Father." Iris greeted, Winston's face softened, a little smile appeared on his lips, and there was no hint of jerkiness in his speech, "You already have a good relationship with the bamboo hoop?" ”

Iris rubbed his feet together, looked at Winston, then at the bamboo hoop, nodded slowly, and took the fork to fork the meat, "Well, yes father, I and Xiaozhen are already friends." ”

Winston nodded, agreeing with Iris's words, originally he thought that Iris's name was inappropriate, but now it seems to be appropriate, turning his eyes to look at the bamboo hoop, Winston stood up, put his right hand on his chest and saluted, "I received your greeting from Isaiah, I'm Winston, I'm sorry I didn't go to greet you today, I apologize for my faux pas," and then sat down again, "Thank you for taking care of Iris." ”

"Winston, you're so polite." Takeji chuckled, "I like Iris, and we're friends, we're helping each other." ”

Iris rubbed his feet again, but he didn't speak anymore, just buried his head in eating.

Winston laughed because of the bamboo basket's words, "Okay, let's eat first." ”

Winston asked about Iris after the meal, and praised Iris after the exam, and saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Iris to go upstairs to sleep, and Iris was also sleepy, very obedient, and said goodnight to Winston and Bamboo Basket, and went upstairs obediently.

Winston walked to the bamboo hoop, squatted down, and his powerful long arms passed through the bamboo hoop's arms and knees, and picked up the bamboo hoop without any effort, and by the way, he pulled a few strokes on the mermaid chair, and saw that the chair had grown legs, followed behind Winston and the bamboo hoop, and walked to the bedroom on the second floor.
