3 Chapter 3
When facing a pair of blue compound eyes, Jian Fu even thought that he was hallucinating.
But when the little octopus saw him, both the severed and intact wrists and feet began to squirm wildly, as if excited and as if they couldn't wait to climb down from the suitcase and rush towards Jian Fan.
Jian Fan stood at the door and didn't move, his first reaction was to throw this thing into the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for storage, but when he saw the dirty dust on it, he instantly dispelled this thought.
And the gray octopus was getting closer and closer to him.
Jian Fan's natural dislike for mollusks made Jian Fan frown, wanting to throw it out but rejecting the slippery and cold touch.
Just as he was distracted, the octopus had already crawled to his feet, and when he was about to touch the exposed toes, Jian Fan directly lifted his shoes expressionlessly and kicked the little octopus out directly with his heels.
The movements are clean and neat, for fear that my feet will rub a little sticky with an octopus.
With a 'snap', the little octopus, which had broken several wrists and feet, was kicked directly behind the sofa.
The tiredness from the inside out made Jian Fu not experience thinking about where the octopus came from and whether it would die due to lack of water on such a hot day.
Now even if the sky falls, he has to rest.
I closed the door with a bang, fell into the bed, and picked up my phone to turn it off.
This is the first time he has turned off his mobile phone since becoming a doctor, and it is also the first time after Jian Fan's work that he has allowed himself to sleep until he wakes up naturally, which is undoubtedly extravagant and irresponsible, even if he is justified in his vacation, he is capricious enough.
After sleeping until eleven o'clock in the afternoon, he sat on the bed and raked his hair, and it took a long time for his thoughts to wake up.
Subconsciously picked up the phone, pressed it, his face was reflected in the dark screen, he was about to turn on the phone but his fingers paused, his eyebrows were slightly together, and finally he threw the phone back to the bedside,
If you are irresponsible, you will be irresponsible, today he doesn't want to care about anything.
Before he could enter the bathroom, Jian Fan heard the sound of 'booming' water.
"I didn't turn off the faucet after taking a shower last night?"
As soon as he walked to the door, Jian Fan met a pair of blue compound eyes.
Caught off guard, even his thoughts were briefly blank for a moment.
As soon as he saw Jian Fan, the wrists and feet of the little octopus, which were originally flattened, suddenly began to squirm frequently, and the suction cups adsorbed the basin and crawled in the direction of Jian Fan.
But just as the intact brachiopod was just sticking out of the edge of the basin, the wriggling tentacles suddenly stopped moving.
Its mind moved, as if some bad memory had prevented it from rushing towards Jian Fan.
Amid the sound of running water, Jian Fan glanced at the open faucet, and was sure that he had not forgotten it, it was obviously the work of this octopus.
When I was studying in a university abroad, I read a lot of reports about the octopus because of biological research experiments, and I knew that it had a high IQ, and even many people thought that it might be an alien creature based on the metamorphosis of the octopus.
But without training, no matter how smart you are, you can't turn on the faucet.
Looking at the other party's severed wrists and feet and the beautiful appearance completely different from other octopuses, Jian Fan guessed the possibility of escaping from the laboratory.
Just as Jian Fan was quietly observing, the octopus's blue compound eyes were also staring at Jian Fan, and his wrists and feet began to squirm frequently as if they could no longer be suppressed, as if they were about to crawl out of the basin in the next second.
And it was at this time that the simplicity moved.
If this little thing really escaped from the laboratory, then keep it first.
Even if it wasn't, then with the wisdom and distinctive appearance it showed, it would be good to send it to your own laboratory to study and dissect at that time.
Just as the little octopus was squirming and about to climb out of the basin, Jian Fu walked into the corner of the bathroom and picked up the basin with a hanger.
Using the hanger to push the octopus on the edge of the basin into the basin, Jian Fan carried it towards the kitchen.
The chlorine in the tap water is not good for sea creatures, and if he wants the octopus to live longer, he must at least change to pure water and buy some sea salt.
At this moment, the little octopus was so close to Jian Fan, almost the moment it fell into the basin, all its wrists and feet wriggled in unison, tangled and twisted towards the white fingers holding the edge of the basin.
They seemed to be longing, wanting to wrap Jian Fan's fingers tightly and take them for themselves.
Seeing that the dishonest wrist and foot were about to touch Jian Fan, he flicked the hanger in his hand in disgust and warned himself: "If you don't want to become takoyaki, you'd better stay well." ”
Watching it fall to the bottom of the pelvis and curl up on the tip of its wrists and feet, Jian Fan realized that its suction cup was actually pink, which looked soft and pink, and it was a cute color that little girls liked.
I don't know if it really understood Jian Fan's words, at this moment it tilted its head and stopped moving, a pair of blue and faint compound eyes were so open, Jian Mao was not sure what it was looking at, after all, the octopus's compound eyes 360 degrees have no blind spots.
However, seeing that it was lying on the floor of the pelvis so obediently, even the tentacles were no longer messing around like just now, and Jian Fu's rejection of this mollusk was reduced a little.
After all, creatures with high IQs that don't make stupid mistakes will inevitably make people love more.
Jian Fu poured pure water into the basin and put it in the living room, leaving it alone.
I opened the refrigerator and found nothing but a few eggs.
The sudden situation in the laboratory during this time disrupted all his rhythms, and made his time in the supermarket a luxury.
Jian Fan quickly cooked a bowl of noodles, and when he regained his spirits, he was ready to go to the bedroom to get his mobile phone.
As he passed by the living room, he saw the little octopus spread out its wrists and feet, floating in the water like a white pancake, looking like it was dead.
Jian Fan's hand reached into the air to poke it to see if it was really dead, and he really hated the sticky and slippery feeling of the octopus, so he picked up the hanger next to him and poked the wrist and foot floating in the water.
Until he saw the little octopus's wrists and feet move as if in response to him, Jian Fan didn't pay much attention to it.
Its appearance was an accident, and if it died, it would have died. With that in mind, he got up and went back to the bedroom, picking up his phone.
As soon as the phone is turned on, there are overwhelming text messages and WeChat messages.
The school's hospital also has a laboratory......
He hurried back to his study and devoted himself to his work, until he was busy for almost an hour, and after taking care of things, he immediately changed his clothes and went to the school laboratory.
Jian Mao's popularity at Nancy University is quite high, and many students will greet him along the way.
He walked on the green campus with a black bone umbrella, wearing cropped black casual suit pants, a white half-collared white shirt, the hem of the shirt tucked into the trousers, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wide waist and narrow hips, slender figure, which pulled the cold and ascetic atmosphere to the extreme, and was the focus of attention everywhere he walked.
When walking through the crowd with a slight bow, many male and female students can't help but look back a few more times.
When Jian Fan came to the laboratory, a few students who stayed in the laboratory seemed to see a savior as soon as they saw him, "Professor Jian, Professor Jian, you are finally back." ”
Putting the umbrella in his hand, Jian Fan looked at the expressions on the faces of these students with some amusement, "Show me the adjusted data from last night." ”
He flipped through the data in his hand, listened to the reports of several people, looked at the tiredness on their faces and said, "If you haven't rested, go rest for an afternoon, and come back tomorrow." ”
Zhang Heng was so happy that he almost jumped on the spot: "Thank you, Professor Jian, for saving my dog's life." ”
As he spoke, he quickly took off his white coat and was the first to jump out.
Several others walked out one after another.
Jian Fan put on a white coat, looked back and saw Wang Jingjing still standing in place, he buttoned the highest button and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
Wang Jingjing was as quiet as his name, and said gently: "I'll stay, Professor Jane." ”
"You don't have to go to rest?"
Wang Jingjing smiled, "No, no, I had a good rest last night." ”
It was seven o'clock in the evening when Jian Fu left Nancy University, and although the experiment took many detours during this time, it was not without gains, and many plans still needed to be adjusted in the current direction.
It's just that there are two more surgeries tomorrow, and he has to go back and get some rest.
When the car drove out of the school gate, Jian Fan remembered the new 'pet' at home? Thinking of what it looked like before leaving, I don't know if it will crawl around from the basin as a dead person, and then it will become a dried octopus.
In a responsible manner, he turned around and drove to the aquarium next to the school, bought a simple glass jar and sea salt, and bought some colorful stones for decoration.
The owner of the aquarium heard that Jian Fan wanted to raise octopus, and specially reminded that octopuses like to drill holes, and gave Jian Fan a delicate clay pot.
Before leaving, he looked at Jian Fan and kindly reminded: "Octopus is very difficult to raise, this thing has a high IQ, and it generally won't last long before it dies." ”
Jian Mao didn't pay much attention to it.
It doesn't matter if you die, you can keep the fish if you don't keep the octopus in the fish tank, so you don't have to eat fish when the vegetable market is closed.
When he returned home with the fish tank, he immediately went to see the basin on the coffee table.
The little thing didn't run around, and as in the morning, it lay down on the bottom of the basin with its wrists and feet spread out, and bent over to shake the basin to confirm its condition.
When the water waves swayed, Jian Fan saw the little octopus move, and he waited until the water waves stopped shaking and was about to stand up, when he saw the little octopus waving weakly and floating on the surface with only the remaining two wrists and feet.
Looking at each other, Jian Fan casually asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
The blue compound eyes remained motionless.
"Am I being stupid lately, how do you think you can understand words?" Jian Fan shook his head, "Okay, since you are still alive, you will not live up to the fish tank I specially bought for you" As he spoke, he stood up and took the fish tank to the bathroom to be cleaned.
After mixing the sea salt and water in proportion, he grabbed a hanger from the bathroom and fished the baby octopus out of the water.
The little guy didn't have the slightest biological instinct to entangle the object, so he was paralyzed so desperately, if it hadn't been for Jian Fan's hard work to close the hanger, it would have fallen.
So far, Jian Mao has not been ready to touch the snake-like discomfort of the octopus.
Jian Fan lowered his eyelashes, thinking out of the events of last night, and he pressed his eyebrows together and threw the octopus into the tank.
When he decided to be with Sheng Mubai, one was because he had indeed lived alone for too long and wanted to try a different way of life.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was a little because he felt lonely.
In fact, Jian Fan enjoys loneliness very much, and there are not many times when he can feel lonely, only when he sees pairs of lovers during the occasional holiday time, or when he has a desire to share when he sees a beautiful scenery but can't find anyone.
He has very few real friends, because he lives abroad in college, master's and doctoral degrees, and his parents are also scientific research workers who run around all year round. Classmates before high school occasionally have contact, but only one or two get closer, but they are all big men, who will have nothing to do to send the scenery they see to their brothers, purely sick.
When Jian Fan turned to leave, he saw the little octopus swimming slowly around the territory, and finally got into a small clay pot given by the boss.
The hole, the size of a ping-pong ball, was silky and easy to get into.
"I really like to drill holes."
Seeing that it could act, Jian Fan ignored it, turned on his phone and ordered a fresh raw shrimp and grapes, and then went back to the kitchen to make himself a bowl of somen noodles.
When he finished eating, he cleaned up the kitchen, and the takeaway was delivered.
Simply nothing, or perhaps the freshness of having a pet for the first time, Jian Fan used tweezers to hold the shrimp and shook it outside the small clay pot in the fish tank.
There was no movement.
Until he said, "Come out and eat." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jian Fan saw the tip of a tentacle slowly stretching out.
Jian Fan moved his hand backwards, and the little octopus slowly came out of the small hole, and the silky movement reminded Jian of a certain chocolate advertisement.
He shook the shrimp, but the little octopus didn't move until he let go of the tweezers, and the tentacles of the little thing quickly wrapped around the shrimp and dragged it into its beak, which was full of sharp teeth.
That's when the phone rang.
The octopus will not eat again when it is full, and he does not have time to take care of the little octopus every day, and the shrimp should be enough for the little thing to eat for several days in the aquarium.
Jian Fan thought so, so he simply poured all the live shrimp he bought into the aquarium and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
The call was from the vice president, who hung up after carefully communicating the patient's situation tomorrow morning.
When Jian Fan returned to the living room with his mobile phone in his hand, he passed by the fish tank, as if something was wrong.
He tilted his head to look at the fish tank again, his pupils dilated slightly for a moment.
But in three or four minutes, all the shrimp that were more than a pound were gone?
He bent down to look at the little octopus and asked, "Are you done eating?" ”
I was so shocked that I didn't even care how much I lied about a non-intelligent being.
The little octopus stared at Jian Fan with compound eyes, as if in response, and rolled the last entangled shrimp into the beak under its head.
“……”
Jian Fan looked carefully, this little octopus is only the size of a fist, and a shrimp will let it digest it for a long time, the problem is that it has eaten a pound of shrimp and there is no change in its body?
Even Professor Jane, who has always been pampered and not shocked, was a little shocked at this contrary to common sense.
And the little octopus swallowed the shrimp, swinging its wrists and feet and quickly floated to the surface, and its movements were obviously much lighter than before.
Jian Fan was bent over at this time, a little close to the water.
The little octopus stared at him, as if he couldn't restrain his instincts, and stretched out his wrists and feet towards Jian Fan.
