Chapter 1768: Mermaid Rearing Guide 40

Lin Juan had once been a student personally nurtured by Edmond; according to the Blue Star General Law, there was no way for him to escape, and even after a thorough investigation revealed that he too had been among the victims.

But Edmond's plan had countless victims.

So Lin Juan actually came prepared to face whatever punishment might come, but he never expected there would be no punishment, and the attitude of the Animal Protection Association and the Blue Star Huaxia State's senior officials toward him……

It seems pretty good.

Until Lin Juan recognized that one of the senior officials' voices sounded somewhat familiar.

It seemed to have appeared in Jin Chen's recorder.

Lin Juan finished explaining what needed to be explained; as for the experimental details, they had already pried them from the mouths of the core team members, and even though Edmond was dead beyond death, the charges that needed to be compiled could not be omitted.

What Lin Juan didn't expect was that the Animal Protection Association's Scientific Research Institute invited him to join.

"High-intelligence animals affected by genetic experiments cannot be ignored; they have lost the ability to return to nature, so we want to invite you to join the lab to develop a drug that eliminates the effects of genetic experiments, allowing these high-intelligence animals to return to their habitats as soon as possible."

The head of the research lab handed the project proposal to Lin Juan, saying, "We believe in Mr. Lin's ability and his understanding of genetic experiments."

Lin Juan's eyes flickered as he looked at the proposal, and he said that claiming he had no desire to join would be a lie.

This is exactly what his parents used to do.

But his lingering concerns remained; once the research began, it wouldn't be something that could be finished overnight, and by then he would surely have no time to accompany Jin Chen back to Mermaid City.

"I need to discuss it with my family and will give you a reply in two days." Lin Juan didn't refuse outright; although his attitude was aloof, the person in charge felt the chances were about eighty or ninety percent.

As for Mr. Lin's family, isn't it the mysterious mermaid gentleman?

If that person could love the house and its crow, they might also be helpful to our Animal Protection Association.

The person in charge's smile grew brighter: "Okay, we welcome you anytime!"

Xu Yi also laughed, very happy about being able to work as a colleague with Doctor Lin.

Lin Juan: "……"

Why such enthusiasm?

The source of all this, the mermaid, had transformed back into its tail fin, enjoying top-tier treatment—soaking in hot springs.

Although it wasn't as comfortable as the natural hot springs of Mermaid City.

The fastidious Jin Chen thought so.

It's just that the staff delivering fruit platters and drinks kept coming one batch after another.

Jin Chen, chewing on fish jerky, suddenly paused, his slender fingertips extending claws, "Who's sneaking around outside!"

The noisy commotion outside the door stopped abruptly; a few seconds later, a uniformed staff member entered, "It… it's us, boss, please continue soaking."

Jin Chen stared suspiciously at the person's flushed face, feeling utterly bewildered, and lowered his head to glance at himself.

Hmm, being in the water feels substantial.

"Don't stand guard at the door; I'm not used to it." Jin Chen flicked his tail fin and said coolly.

"Fine, just tell us directly if you have any needs."

Just then the door opened again; Jin Chen looked back, his eyes suddenly lighting up, even more brilliant than the jeweled hairpin interlaced in his silver hair.

"Honey, come rest with me."

Anyway, it's what those old guys meant; no point not using it.

Lin Juan's soft gaze turned slightly cold and hard when looking at the flushed-faced staff member, glancing at them without a trace.

It was extremely lethal.

The love-struck staff member silently cursed the other teammates for running off first, forced a smile, hurried out, and incidentally closed the door.

Lin Juan helplessly sat by the edge of the pool steaming with warm mist, "How can you just let anyone in."

"I don't," Jin Chen emerged again, his wet hand reaching out to Lin Juan, "Honey, come down."

Lin Juan went to the shower beside the pool to change clothes, and just as he stepped out, his tail fin coiled him back into the water.

"Stop fooling around, I want to discuss something with you." Lin Juan said this, but as he held Jin Chen, the latter kept shoving his tail tip into his embrace; helpless, he could only pat the tail and ask, "Can I speak now?"

"Go ahead, I'm listening." Jin Chen narrowed his eyes satisfied, hugging the person and rubbing against them.

Lin Juan repeated the research lab's invitation to Jin Chen.

He leaned against Jin Chen's chest, reaching a hand through the water flow, the steaming mist making one feel lazy.

"Then go, it's fine." Jin Chen felt those old guys were still quite good at handling things; this would greatly reduce Lin Juan's guilt, and he wouldn't have nightmares anymore.

"But how should we schedule the time."

Lin Juan turned in his embrace, lifted his gaze, and asked, "Once I enter the research lab, I'll get busy; you said before that we'd return to Mermaid City every so often……"

"So it turns out you don't want to guard an empty room alone, huh."

Jin Chen understood, teasing with a smile, "Don't worry, I can make a quick trip back and forth; if really necessary, I'll have those old guys give you more leave."

When they got close, the distance was too near; Lin Juan couldn't help but lift his hand to flick his eyelashes, then he curled his lips, revealing the pleasure in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Then I've agreed to them."

"Mm, honey, work hard, earn money to keep fish." Jin Chen's eyes itched from the teasing, he tilted his head and kissed again.

Lin Juan lay on his side on Jin Chen's shoulder, emptying his mind to enjoy the tranquil beauty.
