205 The Mermaid in Modern Times (1)

The bachelor apartment of Jimo, a technical housekeeper in a developed city on the coast of the earth.

Today is early Saturday morning, a rare weekend, in the quiet bedroom, Ji Mo lies on the bed on all fours to sleep, enjoying the rare relaxation time after the end of the previous project.

Suddenly, Ji Mo on the bed shivered fiercely, and then trembled all over, his face was full of frightened and desperate expressions, he was tormented by nightmares:

"Brother Miao, I was really just passing by, I—I didn't know you and Sister Liji were here-"

The mermaid Liji was furious and said, "Shut up! You damn clownfish, you dare to be hard-mouthed? You're just trying to spy on our chat! ”

"Ji Mo, even if you are naturally ugly on the outside, I can't imagine that your heart is so ugly!" Ji Mo's cousin Ji Miao was heartbroken and hated iron.

"Brother Miao, I don't, I really don't." Ji Mo was carrying a small tuna and stepped back nervously, his eyes full of panic, "I just came out to catch fish and eat." ”

Liji rolled her eyes with disdain and disdain: "Who are you fooling?" Ji Mo, just an ugly and timid mermaid like you, dare to like my sister Lishu? You deserve it too?! ”

Ji Mo was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he was extremely uncomfortable when he was scolded, but who doesn't have self-esteem? So Ji Mo whispered but firmly denied: "No, I don't like Lishu, you don't-"

"What?" The mermaid Liji was even more angry, "What's wrong with Lishu?" You don't like her? ”

Ji Miao was so annoyed by the clownfish brothers in his uncle's house that he categorically shouted: "Enough!" Will Liki still wronged you? Ji Mo, how did you become like this? ”

"Hmph~ your good brother in the family!" Liji sneered and lost her temper without any scruples, who made Ji Mo ugly, less talkative, and timid? Li Ji pretended to shake her head regretfully and said, "Ji Miao, your uncle may be too busy, it seems that he hasn't disciplined Ji Mo much at all, right?" ”

Ji Miao felt that she was so embarrassed that she was so angry that she was angry with herself, how beautiful Liji was, she couldn't be angry with the clownfish...... The more Ji Miao thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally yelled:

"Ji Mo, you did something wrong today and still don't repent, I want to teach you a lesson!"

……

The memories behind him were chaotic, only the relentless chasing and scolding behind him and his violently beating heartbeat echoed in "bang bang bang".

“…… Brother Miao, don't fight...... Me, I...... That's right......"

The clownfish was forced by Ji Miao Liji to the vicinity of the octopus reef in the East China Sea, and after a long chase, it finally ended with the clownfish that fled in panic "bang" and crashed into the reef and passed out on the spot.

"Woo...... I'm not wrong...... Woowoo...... Why do you always look at me unpleasantly? What the hell am I doing wrong......"

On the bed, Ji Mo also shed tears in his sleep, immersed in despair and sadness. He was no longer in a sleepy position with a big grin, but curled up cautiously, sobbing quietly.

Fortunately, at this time, the alarm clock on the bedside table jingled and screamed happily in a loud voice, and the bell was specially edited and synthesized by the real Ji Mo, and Leng Buding began to howl:

"Ji Mo Ji Mo Ji Mo !! Get up and get up, hurry, want to be late again? If you are late, you will be scolded, if you are late, you will not have a full attendance award, and if you are late, the year-end bonus will shrink......" This bell is angry, so realistic, as if there is really a stern boss standing at the head of the bed and scolding.

"Ahh......h Ahem, now that he is a mermaid, he was so frightened that he opened his eyes instantly, and fell off the bed crawling on the ground, curled into a ball and froze in the corner, looking at his environment in disbelief:

The small bedroom, there is only a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a bedside table and a chair in the room, which are neatly cleaned up, and there are no scattered and superfluous things; The doors and windows were closed, and the dark curtains were tightly covered, so the room was dim.

- If Earth Jimo was woken up by the alarm clock early in the morning on his rest day, then he should have blown up his hair a long time ago, and he would definitely raise his hand and press the alarm clock murderously, and then complain and mumble: "Hey, the alarm clock is not adjusted well, this upside-down schedule, working overtime until I am ......stupid", and then he will definitely happily fall back into bed and wake up when he wants.

However, now that he is a mermaid Ji Mo, he is still shrunk into a ball and hiding in the corner, holding his breath and concentrating, looking at everything in the strange world in front of him in a daze, completely losing the ability to react.

So, the alarm clock had to howl bitterly over and over again, twice, three times, four or five times, six times, seven times, □□ times, noisy and miserable...... It wasn't until the mermaid barely accepted and sorted out all the memories of Earth Jimo that she stood up in fear, paused one step at a time and walked over cautiously, holding her breath, and according to the method in her memory, she pressed the piercing and loud alarm clock.

Call~~~

The room finally fell silent.

- So, I'm no longer a mermaid? I left the East China Sea, left the mermaids? Came to this place called Earth and became another Jimo?

The mermaid stood still, not daring to move, trembling and touching the wide T-shirt and shorts on which she was sleeping, her heart beating rapidly and chaotically, curious and cautious at everything familiar and unfamiliar.

After a long time, the mermaid who racked his brains and thought came to a conclusion: Alas, this earthling, also named Ji Mo, worked too hard, and in order to catch up with the project, he worked overtime all night to process data and produce results, he must have been too tired to die suddenly in his sleep! Alas, what a pity, he died in his sleep at a young age.

At this time, the mermaid didn't react at all, in fact, he himself was killed at a young age before his soul passed through......

The mermaid stood barefoot on the floor, and after thinking for a long, long time, he dared to walk over and turn on the light—yes, although it was broad daylight, he didn't dare to open the window, for fear that the secret that he was not Earth Jimo would be revealed.

With a soft "click", the indoor lights turned on, instantly illuminating everything.

"Ahh Brighter than the biggest pearl I've ever seen! ”

The mermaid rubbed her eyes, her heart beating faster, and she almost couldn't breathe - could it be a dream? Actually, I'm dreaming, right?

The mermaid walked over and crouched on the ground, put slippers on both of her feet, and then stood up and walked around curiously, staring at everything in the room with wide eyes.

The more I looked, the more I thought, and the more I pondered, the more the mermaid worshipped - the god of the sea, this earth Ji Mo is really powerful:

He has read many, many books, knows a lot of things, has excellent grades, is cheerful and optimistic, can be eloquent, has a wide range of interests and hobbies, has a very good popularity, and successfully found a job after graduation, and can get a lot of red paper every month...... Oh, that's called wages......

Poseidon, Poseidon, why is he so powerful?

The mermaid slowly stopped being excited and excited, but began to have low self-esteem, low mood, and slower heartbeat.

- Also called Ji Mo, why did I live so badly?

On the desk in the bedroom, there are laptops, as well as many professional books, a pen holder with various pens, and a small desk calendar.

The mermaid endured and endured, but finally didn't hold back, and slowly raised the hand that had been behind her back, carefully stroking the things on the desk, humble and envious, and said to herself: "Ji Mo, I'll just touch it, I promise it won't be broken." ”

By the way, there is also a small photo frame on the desk, and the mermaid holds it firmly with both hands to look at: it is the graduation photo of Earth Jimo. In the photo, he is wearing a bachelor's uniform and a bachelor's hat, the young man is tall, handsome and cheerful, smiling proudly, he stands in the middle, his parents stand on both sides, Ji Mo surrounds his parents affectionately, and the family laughs very happily.

Something in the depths of his memory was touched, and the mermaid's mood was even more depressed, so he quickly recited the photo and closed his eyes to calm his sour heart.

After a while, the mermaid reopened her eyes, and then looked at the back of the photo frame, and there was a post-it note pasted on the back, on which was Ji Mo's free and beautiful handwriting:

Three goals to accomplish within five years of graduation:

1. Buy a car of about 200,000 yuan, it is convenient to go anywhere if you have a car;

2. Earn enough money to pay a down payment for a house in the city, or go back to your hometown to buy a house in full, and it is unrealistic to rent a house for a lifetime;

3. Last but not least, you must get your parents' forgiveness! My sexual orientation is innate, I really can't change it, homosexuality is not a disease, I hope my parents can forgive me one day.

The mermaid exclaimed in admiration: Wow, he is really motivated, the goal is clear and practical!

Just walk around the bedroom, feel around, and the morning will pass.

In fact, there has always been a voice echoing in the mermaid's heart: This is a dream! It's a dream! I must have hit my head stupidly!

However, reality will always give a fatal blow when you are not expecting it.

- The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly flashed and flashed, and a melodious and melodious ringtone rang:

buer

ilovetheay……

The mermaid was so frightened that she instantly retreated, and retreated and retreated, until she stood against the wall: what to do? My god of the sea, is this—is this still a dream? Are dreams so real?

The phone is still singing: ......

What to do? What am I going to do?

The mermaid's heartbeat had already been out of order, and he stood frozen without tears, looking at the phone in fear.

Until the phone screen goes dark and the call is hung up.

The mermaid rubbed over little by little, and after barely being so scared, she looked down at her phone curiously, and stretched out her hand to slide it a few times - the mermaid from the East China Sea from the orc world was completely impressed by the earth's high-tech communication tools.

Who knows, the phone lit up again in an instant, and the mermaid just slipped and was answered by him!!

The mermaid was at a loss, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"Hey, Ji Mo, what are you doing? Didn't answer the phone for half a day! A man's complaining voice came from the phone.

"Did you go sing after dinner last night? Alas, I didn't succeed if I wanted to go, your sister-in-law killed her and called wow, if you don't go back, you can't do it...... I ignored her for two months of overtime before, and today I accompanied her to go for a prenatal checkup, and the child has been more than seven months hahaha......"

Fortunately, the man on the other end of the phone was extremely talkative, chattering, and talking to himself, which gave the mermaid barely enough reaction time.

The mermaid turned to the relevant information in the memory in her mind: this is "my own" colleague Chen Cheng, a northern man in his thirties, tall and powerful, uninhibited, also from the technical department, has a good relationship with Ji Mo, is married, and is about to have a child.

"Ahem~" The mermaid mustered up his courage, not wanting to offend Ji Mo's good friend on Earth, he said carefully: "Really? Then congratulations to Brother Cheng, remember to inform me of the full moon wine, I have to go and see my nephew. The mermaid tried her best to imitate Ji Mo's hearty tone of speech, and chatted with Chen Cheng with a smile.

Chen Cheng's laughter was about to crack the phone, and he agreed: "Hahaha, no problem!" You kid didn't sleep until noon, did you? Tut-tut, that's the good thing about being single, you become a brother and I get up early to do activities for a long time, at home, in hospitals, in mother and baby stores, and in a meal, your sister-in-law is still buying, buying, buying, ouch, I'm tired and half dead......"

"I still envy Brother Cheng, how can you be like me, the clean pot and cold stove at home, I'm tired of eating instant noodles." The merfolk slowly relaxed, and in surprise and surprise, he enjoyed the pleasant feeling of chatting with his friends, which he had never experienced before, because the people disliked him as a timid and clumsy clownfish.

After Chen Chengdong talked about it for a long time, he finally got to the point.

"Ji Mo, after your sister-in-law became pregnant, my brother worked you and took up a lot of your rest time, and these brothers and your sister-in-law kept it in mind."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Anyway, I'm single, and I'll be alone when I come back, it's boring, so it's better to stay in the company and talk about the mountains. The more the mermaid spoke, the more fluent he became, and for a few moments, he almost thought that he was the Earth Jimo.

Chen Cheng's voice was a little lower and more serious, and he revealed mysteriously:

"Ji Mo, brother told you, our company's big project in Nanshi has been launched! The project manager has been sent down, I heard that he is a handsome rich man with a background and strength, he is estimated to be transferred from our technical department, you know the project in Nanshi, right? Hey, that's oily! Everyone in our department wants to go, but my brother won't join in the fun, and your sister-in-law can't leave me now...... Ahem, cough, what to do, don't need my brother to teach you, right? You're the smartest kid ever! ”

If it was Earth Jimo, he would definitely understand it in seconds, but unfortunately the core became a mermaid at this time.

"Brother Xie Cheng reminded, I know." The mermaid stubbornly said that in fact, he hadn't sorted out the long list of words just now, and he was worried about revealing his identity, so he had to deal with it first.

In the end, after Chen Cheng talked nonsense, he finally hung up the phone satisfied.

The mermaid's mind was full of all kinds of information, confused, confused, and confused, and she couldn't understand it after thinking about it in a daze.

And

A few "cooing" sounds, and he felt hungry.

It was already noon.

The mermaid touched her shriveled belly, panicked, and thought in fear that it shouldn't be a dream, right? Even the feeling of being hungry is so real......

He hesitantly walked to the door, finally opened the bedroom door and walked out into the living room.

The furnishings in the living room are also extremely simple; Small sofa with coffee table, dining table with four chairs, a storage shelf, a small Xiaoice box, a shoe rack. There's also a mini kitchen and a mini bathroom, plus a mini balcony.

The mermaid's footsteps subconsciously walked to the refrigerator and opened it, because Earth Jimo would open the refrigerator when he was hungry.

Wow~~~!, my god of the sea!

The mermaid opened her eyes and mouth wide in surprise as she looked at the colorful and stuffed stock in the refrigerator.

——That's when Earth Jimo went to the supermarket to buy after dinner last night, and he was busy with work and used to shopping once a week.

It's summer.

There were seven or eight buckets of noodles in the fridge, a few large bottles of milk juice, a few bottles of beer, a small pile of apples, a small pile of longan, a large bunch of bananas, a large bag of assorted bread and biscuits, and at the bottom of that there was a lot of ice cream.

Wow~! Wow wow~~!! Wow wow wow~~~!!

The East China Sea mermaid from the orc world was completely stunned, he had never seen the delicious and novel food in front of him.

The mermaid opened the refrigerator door and looked at it for a long time, although he was very hungry, he didn't dare to move, mainly because everything in front of him was not his own, it was the earth's Ji Mo, and it was bought by others who worked hard to earn money.

However, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the mermaid was so hungry! He pitifully held on to the refrigerator door and swallowed as he watched the food.

- Alas, if it's really a sweet dream, please let the sea god wake me up as soon as possible, I'm almost hungry.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the mermaid was still holding on to the refrigerator door, and the air conditioning inside had already run out.

"Ji Mo, I'm really hungry, can I eat an apple or apple from you? Just one! I'll do your laundry after you're done. The mermaid discussed to himself, and according to the existing memories in his mind, he learned that Ji Mo came back too late last night, and fell asleep after taking a shower, and his clothes had not been washed.

After thinking about it for a long time, and feeling that his conscience would not be condemned, the mermaid finally dared to stretch out his hand, and with a happy smile on his lips, he opened the bag and took out a big red apple, closed the refrigerator door, and went into the kitchen to wash and peel it.

Not surprisingly, when entering the kitchen, the mermaid was stunned by the variety of modern kitchen utensils and devices.

Wow~~ The earth is so good, there are so many strange but convenient things to live in.

With the spirit of adventure, the mermaid turned on the faucet and carefully washed the apples according to the steps in his memory, and when he was halfway through the washing, he felt too thirsty and lowered his head and drank several handfuls of tap water.

Then, he opened the cupboard, pulled out a peeler, and after clumsily fixing the apples, the merfolk shook the handle intently.

After a few "squeaks", the long apple peel fell off, revealing the fresh, crisp and sweet flesh inside.

The smell of fruit came to his nose, and the mermaid felt even hungrier, and after peeling off all the skin, he couldn't wait to take the apple off and eat it

"Ahh

As a result, because his movements were too fast, the back of his hand was slashed by a sharp blade that had not yet been rotated back to a safe position!

The wound was not shallow, the blood rushed to flow out, and the pain came quickly.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The mermaid hurriedly covered her wound and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, Ji Mo, I hurt your hand, I didn't mean to." ”

Wait a minute!

Pain? So painful? The pain is sharp and clear, and it couldn't be more real and uncomfortable.

The frightened merfolk's chaotic mind had finally cleared up a little more - or rather, he was finally willing to face reality.

Is it true that all this is not a dream? After the earthling, Ji Mo, died of overwork overwork and sudden death, I became him?

The mermaid stood stunned, forgetting to cover her wounds, letting the blood drip down and drip on the floor, the smell of blood permeating her nose.

All of this is so true.

The merfolk's heart was beating wildly again, and he scanned everything around him, and with mechanical steps, he went out to find the little medicine box, bandaged his wounds, and then devoured the apple in his hand, and he was almost too hungry to stand.

*****

As night fell, the mermaid sat on the living room couch and sculpted for hours.

"Posei Mingjian, I really don't know why I came to the earth and became an earthling, Ji Mo, he is very good, no matter how long I can stay on the earth, I can't take his skin and destroy everything he has! His body, his job, his friends and colleagues, his parents...... I can't ruin them! In that case, if the real Ji Mo comes back, he will definitely be very sad and painful, and I can't ruin his life......"

- I want to live well in place of Ji Mo, an earthling, and try to keep everything he has!

This is the most important and difficult decision that the mermaid has made since she grew so big.

After figuring it out, the mermaid took action seriously.

He first went to wash and dry his clothes according to his promise, and because of the injury on the back of his hand, he had to work single-handedly in order not to interfere with Monday's work.

Then, he tidied up the small one-bedroom apartment more neatly, and kept busy until late at night.

After finishing the hygiene, he soaked himself in a bucket of noodles and ate all the noodles and soup, but he was still very hungry, so he had to eat a few more small breads to barely stop his hunger.

Before going to bed, the mermaid took a cold shower comfortably, washed herself clean, and then dared to lie down on the bed, happily sinking into the soft mattress.

After thinking about it, the mermaid got up again and took the picture frame, the front and back, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said to herself:

Don't worry, I will work hard and live for you! I can't promise to help you achieve your three goals in five years, but I will definitely do my best! Don't know where you are now? When will you be back?

The mermaid thought about it for a long time, and he was under a lot of pressure in his heart, and decided to get up early tomorrow and try to get familiar with this strange earth world. Tomorrow is Sunday, and the day after tomorrow is Monday, and I will help Ji Mo go to work at that time.

Work? O god of the sea, we merfolk never have to go to work...... 166 Reading Network
