Chapter 378: Mimi's Mind (I)
The mantis shrimp not only has a pair of magical eyes, but its attack speed is also among the best in the biological world, second only to the fastest reflexing bigtooth fierce ant, and faster than the attack speed of the praying mantis. The mantis shrimp can attack its prey in 100,000th of a second, and the heat generated by the momentary friction of the predators can even cause electric sparks to erupt from the surrounding water. If a person has this kind of attack speed, he can throw 111 punches in at least one second, which is comparable to the Pegasus Meteor Fist.
Zhong Huan was very interested in the eyes and attack speed of the mantis shrimp, so he also refined two Ten Thousand Gu Beasts. One is used to refine the Gu Eye Pill, and the other is used to refine the Gu Brain Pill. Alchemy takes a year, and Zhong Huan has to wait for a day in the outside world if he wants to take Gu Dan.
It took Zhong Huan a lot of time to capture and refine the four Ten Thousand Beast Beasts, and it was already evening when he left the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. Zhong Huan was about to leave the villa when he heard a dog barking in the courtyard, followed by Mimi's laughter like a silver bell.
Zhong Huan has been busy lately, and he hasn't seen Mimi for a long time. As soon as he heard Mimi's voice, he remembered that he should pay Mimi's salary. Counting the days, his salary has been paid late, but Mimi and Uncle Mi have not urged themselves, which makes Zhong Huan even more embarrassed. He just wanted to go out to greet Mimi, but after thinking about it, he returned to the house and entered the Ten Thousand Beast Gu.
Mimi has been helping Zhong Huan feed the dog for more than a month, and every time she comes to the villa to finish her work, she has to stay for a while, just to see Zhong Huan more. It's a pity that Zhong Huan rarely comes to the villa, and his mysterious master never shows his face once.
"Mimi!"
After feeding the dogs, Mimi, who was cleaning the yard, suddenly heard someone calling for herself, and she was stunned. This deep voice was not familiar to her, and it was definitely not Zhong Huan's voice.
Mimi stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw an old man with white eyebrows and retro clothes standing on the steps in front of the villa and waving to him. Although Mimi didn't know this old man, judging from the reaction of the dogs around him who didn't bark at him, this old man with fairy wind bones should be Zhong Huan's mysterious master.
"Old man. Hello! You called me something? Mimi asked, taking a broomstick to the steps.
Zhong Huan couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw that Mimi didn't recognize him. He has deceived many outsiders in this outfit, and this is the first time he has shown his face in front of acquaintances. Zhong Huan appeared in disguise, firstly, to see if Mimi's identity would be recognized, and secondly, to let Mimi meet the master she made up, so as not to make Mimi suspicious.
"Hehe~ Do you know who I am?" Zhong Huan listened to Mimi call herself grandpa. I couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"You are Brother Zhong Huan's master. I know you live here, but I've never seen you. Am I bothering you? Mimi always heard Zhong Huan say that her master was a weirdo, so she was doubly careful, for fear of offending this old man.
"Not really. Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a while. You come to feed the dogs and sweep the yard every day, and I haven't entertained you, which is really rude. Zhong Huan couldn't help but smile and said.
"Grandpa, don't be polite, Brother Zhong Huan told me that you are more quiet, I can understand." Mimi listened to the old man's polite words and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. I feel that Zhong Huan, the master, is not difficult to get along with.
"Hehe~ Don't call me grandpa, just call me master like Xiao Huan. It's cold outside, so let's go inside and talk. Zhong Huan wanted to laugh as soon as he heard Mimi call him grandfather, so he asked her to change her name.
Mimi nodded, changed her shoes at the door, took off her cotton clothes, and entered the house with Zhong Huan. When she came to the spacious living room, Mimi saw that the table was full of all kinds of large fruits. Some Zhong Huan invited her to eat, and some she saw for the first time.
"Sit down, you're welcome. These fruits are all prepared for you, eat as you like. Zhong Huan sat down on the chair and said.
"Master. You're so polite. I can't eat that much. Mimi also sat down, but she was too embarrassed to take the fruit to eat.
"It's okay if you can't eat it, take it home and let your parents taste it too. Not that I'm boasting. No one else can grow such a good fruit. Zhong Huan said in a pinched tone.
"Brother Zhong Huan invited me to eat the fruit you planted, it is really delicious. I love it. Seeing that the old man's face was triumphant, Mimi opened her mouth and praised it.
"If you like it, I'll ask Xiao Huan to send you some in the future. By the way, Xiao Huan has had an accident recently, and he asked me to give you my salary. I didn't have a good brain, and I almost forgot about it. Don't mind if it's two days late. Zhong Huan said and took out a pile of hundred-yuan bills and put them in front of Mimi.
"Master, Brother Zhong Huan told me that the salary is five thousand per month, so I don't need so much." When Mimi saw that the seal of the money had not been opened, she knew that it was 10,000 yuan.
"Xiao Huan said that you spend a lot of money on taking a taxi back and forth every day. The extra money is the car money, so you can take it. You should know that neither I nor that kid are short of money. Zhong Huan found it really funny to talk about himself after pretending to be another person.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Then I will thank Master and Brother Zhong Huan. I don't know what happened to Brother Zhong Huan? Mimi was very happy to get double her salary, but when she heard that Zhong Huan had an accident, her happiness was reduced by half.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a fight with the thugs, and as a result, he was falsely accused by several thugs and put in a detention center." Zhong Huan said casually.
"What? Isn't that a big deal? So how is Brother Zhong Huan now? After hearing Zhong Huan's words, Mimi stood up in surprise and asked.
"Don't worry. Since I said that a few gangsters were falsely accused, then Xiao Huan is naturally fine, he has already come out. Zhong Huan was very moved to see Mimi so nervous.
"That's good! That's good! I said, why haven't I seen Brother Zhong Huan recently. Why did he fight with the thugs? "Mimi has had Zhong Huan's shadow in her heart since she was rescued by Zhong Huan, and she is naturally very concerned about Zhong Huan's affairs.
"That's a long story......
Zhong Huan listened to Mimi's question and roughly explained what happened. Of course, he won't say anything about kidnapping and killing.
Even though Zhong Huan omitted many details, Mimi still listened attentively. She really didn't expect things to be so tortuous, and after hearing this, she clenched her little fists and said angrily: "Those bad people are really hateful. actually slashed Brother Zhong Huan with a knife and framed him. If it weren't for Brother Zhong Huan knowing the criminal police, wouldn't they have succeeded? ”
"It's not that easy for them to succeed. If something really happens to Xiao Huan, I won't sit idly by. "Zhong Huan is already a bit addicted to playing the role of virtual master.
"Hmm~ I believe that Master must have a way to save Brother Zhong Huan. By the way, Master, you said that Brother Zhong Huan and a girl he knew were attacked by thugs on a deserted path, and it was still night. What is the relationship between that girl and Brother Zhong Huan? Why are we still together so late? Mimi listened very carefully, and intuitively she felt that Zhong Huan's relationship with this girl was not ordinary.
"Uh~ I didn't ask. Maybe it's his girlfriend. ”
Zhong Huan was caught off guard by Mimi's question. He was afraid that Chu Xiaoxue would know about making friends with Lin Wenjing, so he hadn't made it public in the circle of friends. However, Mimi and Chu Xiaoxue didn't know each other, so Zhong Huan didn't guard against her.
"Impossible! Brother Zhong Huan told me that he didn't have a girlfriend. Mimi immediately became nervous when she heard Zhong Huan say it.
"I hadn't heard him mention it before, maybe it was his new girlfriend. Any questions? Zhong Huan felt that Mimi's tone was wrong, but he didn't understand what she was nervous about.
"I didn't ...... No problem. ”
Mimi's mood suddenly sank. The last time she chatted with Zhong Huan, she also persuaded Zhong Huan to forget about her first love and look forward. At that time, Mimi's original intention was to let Zhong Huan see her heart, but she didn't expect Zhong Huan to fall in love with other girls so quickly. I might as well not talk too much if I knew this, but now it's equivalent to making a wedding dress for someone else.
Zhong Huan obviously felt Mimi's emotional changes, but Zhong Huan's EQ was relatively low, and he didn't know why Mimi was unhappy. If Zhong Huan hadn't disguised himself, he would definitely not have continued this topic, so as not to make Mimi even more unhappy. However, Zhong Huan played his master at this time, and he had a lot less scruples when he spoke, so he casually joked: "Mimi won't be in love with Xiao Huan and want to be his little girlfriend, right?" ”
"Master, I'm ...... You can see it all! ”
As soon as Mimi heard Zhong Huan speak, her face turned red, and her head lowered in shame. She originally wanted to deny it, but when she thought that Zhong Huan's master was a master outside the world, he would definitely be able to see through her own thoughts, and it was useless for her to lie, so she simply admitted it.
This time, it was Zhong Huan's turn to be dumbfounded. He never expected that his casual joke would be the result. Mimi, who was wearing a cat-ear hairpin in front of her and blushing, looked like a schoolboy who had made a mistake. Zhong Huan didn't expect Mimi, who was extremely cute in appearance and figure, to be so precocious psychologically, which really made Zhong Huan not know what to say.
"Master, do you think I still have a chance?"
Mimi was even more embarrassed when she saw that Zhong Huan didn't speak, just staring at herself in surprise. She only glanced up at Zhong Huan and lowered her head even more, and asked in a low voice with her hands nervously fiddling with the corners of her clothes.
"This ...... When did you first like him? ”
Zhong Huan didn't know how to answer Mimi's question at all. He didn't understand why Mimi liked him.
When Mimi heard Zhong Huan ask, she told her about being kidnapped by Hu Jianshe and Lu Jiquan, and being rescued by Zhong Huan. Of course, Zhong Huan knew what these things had happened. In his opinion, Mimi's kidnapping was due to his own involvement, and he should save Mimi, but he didn't expect this incident to have such a big impact on Mimi.
"Master, has Brother Zhong Huan mentioned it in front of you? What does he think of me? ”
Mimi was not so shy after telling her heart. She also understood whether she and Zhong Huan had a chance to be together, Zhong Huan's master said that it didn't count, so she changed the question, wondering if Zhong Huan had any feelings for herself. (To be continued......)
