Chapter 174 The Elves in the Sea (42)

Little did they know that Yu's father had asked the same question yesterday.

Professor Chu said, "I heard from Teacher Liu from the Yancheng Binhai Laboratory that there is a young boy in their laboratory who likes Mumu! It seems that his name is... called... oh, Zhong Qin! Teacher Liu said that you two have been together day and night, and said that there is a high possibility that you are together!"

As soon as Professor Chu finished speaking, four pairs of eyes in the room stared at Yumu.

Yumu ate a piece of beef expressionlessly, chewed it and swallowed it before saying, "Who is Zhong Qin?"

Four people present: "???"

Yu's father and mother were also confused, "Who is Zhong Qin?" They looked at Professor Chu.

Professor Chu replied: "Teacher Liu's student is in his twenties, and should be not much different from Mumu. I heard that he is very capable and has a good interpersonal relationship. He is already the top leader in the laboratory at a young age!"

Teacher Chu's wife was surprised, "Really? It sounds pretty good! Mumu, how about that boy?"

Yumu said indifferently: "I don't remember."

"Why don't you remember it! Didn't you say you were with him day and night? How come you don't remember it after just coming back for a while?" Yumu's mother attached great importance to Yumu's lifelong event. Now that Yumu finally had a possible boy around her, Yumu's mother naturally raised 200% interest.

"If you don't even remember this, what do you remember?" Yu's father asked from the bottom of his heart: "You have only been back for two days, and you have been away on business for a month, but you can still remember us. Shouldn't we feel very lucky?"

Yumu paused, squinting her eyes, vaguely remembering the little mermaid who appeared in the bright moonlight on the sparkling sea, blinking her light blue eyes.

She lowered her eyelashes and stood up: "I'm full. Thank you for the lunch made by my teacher's wife. It's delicious. Mom and Dad, please be careful on the way back. I'm going back first."

Yu Mu took a tissue, wiped the corner of his mouth slowly, and turned to leave.

"Hey, this child!" Yu's father wanted to call Yu Mu, but he saw that Yu Mu left without turning back.

Seeing this, Yu's father had to give up and shook his head and said: "This child... When it comes to boys, she is not interested at all. What should she do when she finds a partner in the future..." Yu's father sighed and expressed his great worry.

The two families sat there and sighed, worrying about their children's marriage.

Soon after Yu Mu went back, he received a call from Professor Chu.

When he received the call, Yu Mu was still a little stunned. He didn't have time to speak at all. Professor Chu's anxious voice came from the microphone.

"Mumu, do you remember the news we heard in the car this morning?"

Yumu paused, then said calmly: "Yes, I remember. So it's true, right?"

Professor Chu on the other side didn't expect Yumu to ask this question so calmly. He nodded with difficulty and said: "It's true. The mermaid that Liu saw in Puhai this morning really exists! Now it has been captured by the state. I also heard it from the National Institute of Biology, and..."

Professor Chu seemed to be hesitating. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said quickly: "And the reason why I'm calling you now is because the people at the National Institute of Biology are planning to start a comprehensive study of this mermaid! Mermaids are very smart, just like ordinary people. They suspect that there are more mermaids in the depths of the sea, and perhaps... a brand new country will open up in the new century."
