Mermaid Catch Colonel Abstinence

Chapter 37

"After my father's accident, no one except the investigators should have come to this house again?"

"Yeah, that's why I haven't got the information. This time it's thanks to you." Albert put the water glass aside and stood up, as if he was going to do his business.

"I didn't do anything, what kind of information are you looking for with a little effort? Shall I help you?"

"That's good, it's about planting." Albert didn't have any scruples when he heard Jiang Xiaoyan said that he wanted to help, but he seemed very happy.

Albert naturally went into the study room, where there were some materials and books of Jiang Xiaoyan's fathers. Just like his grandfather, his fathers also liked paper books.

"You don't mind if I go to the study, do you? Or you can find it for me?" Albert walked halfway, as if thinking of something, then turned to look at Jiang Xiaoyan.

"Let's go and have a look together, I don't know what kind of thing you are looking for."

"Oh, by the way, teacher, do you also study plant cultivation?" Jiang Xiaoyan's parents are specialized in teaching planting, so there is a lot of information in this area, but Albert should be teaching theoretical things.

"Oh, I researched this with your fathers. This time the research direction is vegetables and fruits. I am also a little interested, so I joined. This project is also recorded in the school. After your fathers had an accident, this project The project is also terminated, because I can't get in, and I can't continue to study." Albert didn't say anything about Jiang Xiaoyan's question, but patiently explained to him.

"That's why we should look for it, but you didn't plan to back it up?" Jiang Xiaoyan's words made Albert froze for a moment, and then put on that harmless expression.

Jiang Xiaoyan searched for a long time according to Albert's prompt, but couldn't find the information he mentioned. Just when Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little sore in his bent waist and was about to get up and stretch his muscles and bones, he noticed that Albert was rummaging through it. The data's expression is a little different from the one just now, and it seems a little anxious.

It seems that he is not as calm as he appears on the surface, and it seems that this information is very important to him.

Albert finished rummaging through the last drawer, and there was indeed nothing he wanted in it. He sat on the chair a little discouraged, his eyes became a little dark, but he recovered immediately when he saw Jiang Xiaoyan in front of him The way he was.

Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the time and it was time to start class, but Albert didn't seem to want to leave.

"Teacher, class is about to start in 10 minutes." Jiang Xiaoyan reminded.

"Oh? Really? I have forgotten the time, there is no way, I really can't find it." Albert shrugged helplessly.

"Did your fathers take the report home?"

"I don't know about that." Jiang Xiaoyan remembered that when his fathers came to the school, they were going to hand in the report, so could that report be the one Albert mentioned?

"That report..." Jiang Xiaoyan was about to tell Albert what he knew, but in the middle of speaking, he stopped when he saw Albert's expectant expression.

"I'm not too sure about this, I haven't paid much attention to it." Jiang Xiaoyan deliberately wanted to avoid Albert's inquiry, maybe he was still a little defensive towards this person deep in his heart.

"Then I might bother you next time I have a chance." Albert didn't intend to give up either.

The two were going to separate when they came out, and they met Idris as soon as they went out.

Idris was obviously a little surprised that Jiang Xiaoyan and Albert came out of the room. He didn't expect to meet them here, and he didn't know Albert.

"You live here too?" Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the door that Idris had just closed, and asked casually politely.

"You too?" Idris' eyes turned twice between Jiang Xiaoyan and Albert, making Jiang Xiaoyan a little upset.

"Your friend? Then I'll go first?" Albert also saw that the student on the opposite side had some opinion of him, and he also knew that this student was not to be messed with.

"Okay, you go slowly." Jiang Xiaoyan said goodbye to Albert and turned his attention to Idris.

"He is a teacher in our department."

"Really? I feel that you have a good relationship." Idris said it very playfully, and Jiang Xiaoyan was a little panicked watching it.

"He has a very good relationship with my fathers." After Jiang Xiaoyan finished speaking, he planned to go to the classroom. He had a different place from Idris's class, but there was a part of it that was on the way.

"Wait for me, let's go together." Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyan ignored him and left by himself, Idris followed quickly.

"Are you free this weekend?" Idris asked, leaning over.

"what happened?"

Jiang Xiaoyan didn't quite understand what Idris meant. When did he have such a good relationship with this person?Isn't he Leslie's cousin?Shouldn't one nostril exhale?

"On weekends, the National Botanical Research Garden can enter with a ticket. Are you interested?" Idris looked at Jiang Xiaoyan with anticipation, which made Jiang Xiaoyan hesitate.

"There will be representatives from other planets coming, and there may be many rare plants. If you are lucky, you can get seeds for free." Idris, who seemed to see Jiang Xiaoyan's hesitation, also increased his weight.

"How many people are together?" If he really went, it would be great if he could bring Roy, and he was afraid that Stand would not let him go.

"This ticket is really expensive, how much more do you want? I also got mine from my mother."

"Well, if it's so expensive, let's forget it." It's not that Jiang Xiaoyan doesn't know who Idris's mother is, and he can't afford this gift.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that my brother will be unhappy?"

"No, I just think it's too expensive and I can't bear it." Although Jiang Xiaoyan really wanted to go, he didn't want to owe him such a big favor, and he didn't have to go.

"Okay, then I'm too lazy to go, my parents are not interested in this anyway, since you don't want to go, it's a piece of waste paper." Idris said regretfully, which made Jiang Xiaoyan struggle in his heart Yes, what is waste paper?Isn't it really expensive?Maybe those are the ancestors of all human food in the future!How could it be waste paper!

Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Idris several times, afraid that he would just take out the ticket and tear it up.

Because Jiang Xiaoyan gritted his teeth and refused to agree, Idris didn't continue to say anything, and class would start soon.

When he came home in the evening, Gerton actually found out about it.

"Master Idris invited you to the National Botanical Research Garden?"

"How do you know?" Didn't Idris invite him privately in his own name?Why did it reach the butler's ears?

"Master Idris told our young master that if you want to go, the young master said that it will help your studies anyway." Gerton still smiled lovingly as always when he said it.

"But isn't Colonel Stander having a bad relationship with Idris? He won't mind?" Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to ask this a long time ago, but he was embarrassed to ask the person directly, after all Stander probably wouldn't tell him.

"You know all of this?" Gerton made a surprised expression on purpose to tease Jiang Xiaoyan.

"I feel it." Jiang Xiaoyan was delighted to be told by the housekeeper.

"Master Idris and our young master are half-brothers. Queen Rilla passed away when the young master was 12 years old. After that, the emperor took the current queen. Because of this The young master had a quarrel with the emperor, and since then there has been some estrangement from the emperor. The young master may have misunderstood them, so the knot has not been resolved. The young master moved out alone very early, when he was still so young , suffered a lot, but he didn’t regret it at all, and he didn’t want to ask his family for his living expenses. At that time, I came out with him. Going out to work, saying that I was getting old, Queen Rilla handed over the young master to me, but I didn't take good care of him. He went directly to the army after he became an adult, and he started from the bottom when he went to the army At that time, no one knew that he was the prince. Because he was young and his physical strength could not keep up, he suffered a lot. He went out to fight with the army on the way, and almost died outside several times. Except for the army, he was injured outside. Even I only found out when Jed slipped."

When Gerton was talking, he would stop occasionally, with that kind smile on his face, but his eye circles were a little red. Maybe what happened in it, he couldn't directly imagine or experience it, but he never From the way he looked now, Gerton was still proud of Colonel Stander.The current Colonel Stander is already a powerful figure known by the entire empire and even the entire interstellar.

Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to be a little immersed in the story of Colonel Stander. He suddenly had an idea, if 12-year-old Stander met his 12-year-old self, then they might become good friends, right?Although he is young, he already understands many things and cannot tell others.

"It's the young master."

Jelton's words interrupted Jiang Xiaoyan's somewhat whimsical thoughts.

"Is the colonel at home?" It may be that he just heard something about Stander, which made Jiang Xiaoyan not completely get out of those things just now, and this also caused him to have a kind of sympathy for Stander now. It feels like, although to be honest, he should have suffered a bit worse than Stander, but at least he knows that Colonel Stander has not always been that high.

"He's coming back later today, so we don't have to wait for him." Gerton is very satisfied with Jiang Xiaoyan's current state. Although the young master is much older than Jiang Xiaoyan, it is necessary to be loved and cared for.

"Okay, then let's eat first."

It was already very late when Stander came back, and Jiang Xiaoyan had already been lying on his bed with his teapot in his arms, sleeping soundly, but after a while he began to feel that something was wrong, and that feeling came again, and the distance from the last time It's been almost a month since I was on the spaceship.

Jiang Xiaoyan was originally asleep, but due to the discomfort in his body and some unknown changes in his body, he opened his eyes in a daze. He wanted to solve it by himself like last time, but he was a little bit awake when he was fully awake. Sorry to do that kind of thing.

Jiang Xiaoyan licked his thirsty lips, his throat felt a little dry, so he had to get up to pour some water.

Jiang Xiaoyan felt that his legs were a little soft when he got up, and the friction between the fabric of his pants made him a little uncomfortable. Now he really feels like a monster?why?

Jiang Xiaoyan originally wanted to slow down, but later found that the slower he was, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he simply quickened his pace and planned to make a quick decision.

Because it was too late, Stand did not ask Jed to drive him back when he came back. The lights in the garden gradually turned on and off with his arrival. Stand walked to the gate and scanned it to confirm the door. It will open automatically.

Just as Jiang Xiaoyan was about to take a sip of the water, he saw Stander coming back, and the originally dark living room instantly lit up.

Jiang Xiaoyan was a little flustered and covered his key parts. Why was he caught by Stander again, and when he wanted to crash into the wall again, what would Colonel Stander think of him?

Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to cry right now.

Stande's gaze was attracted by Jiang Xiaoyan from the very beginning, seeing him at this moment Stande simply thought of what Jed said, and this man was jealous for himself.

"There are some things you shouldn't do in the living room. This is a public place." After finishing speaking, Stander glanced at the place Jiang Xiaoyan was protecting with his hand, and then went upstairs, leaving behind Jiang Xiaoyan with a bewildered expression. Xiaoyan, Jiang Xiaoyan watched Stand go upstairs, and now he found that his passion just now was scared away by this man.

This night Jiang Xiaoyan had a nightmare all night, all related to Colonel Stander, and he was bumped into by Colonel Stander when he was there or something, this kind of encounter made him black skin when he woke up the next day Can't see much change, but those eyes are as red as if they stayed up late.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" The butler looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and asked with concern.

"A little insomnia." When Jiang Xiaoyan answered, he didn't forget to glance at Stand who was sitting opposite.

At this time, Stand, who was eating a nutritious meal, raised his head and looked back at Jiang Xiaoyan after Jiang Xiaoyan looked over.

Jiang Xiaoyan always felt that he read a little meaning from this seemingly plain eyes, as if reminding him of the nasty thing he did last night.

"Then take a good rest at home today, don't you want to go to the Botanical Research Garden tomorrow?" Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly remembered the invitation from Idris yesterday.

"I didn't say I was going..." Jiang Xiaoyan took a peek at Stand, and then seemed to bury his face in a bowl. Looking at Stand's upright attitude, he felt that he was very shameless.

"You can go if you want." Stander wiped his mouth with a napkin after eating.Obviously, a person like him who has been baptized on the battlefield should have that kind of murderous feeling, but Stander actually has a bit of noble elegance besides the aura of a superior.

"I'm not going." Jiang Xiaoyan thought of what Gerton said yesterday, and he thought naively that he was on Stand's side, and he should refuse to contact that person just like Stand.

"There are plants you like there, and you have the opportunity to get precious seeds." Stand told Jiang Xiaoyan about the various benefits he could get if he went.

"The seeds can still be collected in the future, but I can't take the plants back after seeing the plants." Jiang Xiaoyan said firmly, he was still hesitating just now, and now he is sure that he will not go.

"Why don't you go?" Stand looked at Jiang Xiaoyan for a while, and asked suddenly after all the things on the table were collected.Now that he is not wearing a military cap, the hair on his forehead hangs down a little bit, and he looks a little more popular, as if he is a little easier to approach.

"I just won't go, I'm on your side." Jiang Xiaoyan's mouth seemed to pass through his brain. When he heard Stand mentioning Idris, he said this sentence quickly, saying After he finished, he felt a little embarrassed, and he was so awkward that he didn't want to look at the person in front of him.

"Childish." Stander spoke in the same tone as usual, even a little more serious, but his voice was not loud.

Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to refute, but saw that Stander's attention was not on him at all, as if he didn't care about what he just said.

The two sat at the dining table for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and planned to go to the room to catch up on sleep. He felt that if he was hit by Stander a few times, maybe he could have a thicker face in front of him a little.

Because Jiang Xiaoyan didn't agree to Idris's business, he spent his weekends at home. Stander went out early and returned late as before. On the second day, Jiang Xiaoyan was planning to go back to the house to review his homework after breakfast. At that moment, Stander stopped him.

"En?" Jiang Xiaoyan turned around in surprise and looked at Stand, who was standing upright behind him, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Your piece of ore, I will take you to fetch it today." Stand cleared his throat before speaking, and Jiang Xiaoyan miraculously saw something from his current behavior.

"It's fine if you don't go." Seeing Jiang Xiaoyan's stupid face, Stander planned to regret it with a dark face.

"Go, go, go! Of course I'm going!" Jiang Xiaoyan saw that Stander was about to repent so soon, and immediately took his words.

"If you go, please change your clothes immediately." Stander looked Jiang Xiaoyan's current attire up and down. He didn't understand why Jiang Xiaoyan had to dress himself up so much at home that people didn't want to take a second look. His taste is How bad.

"Okay! I'll go right away." Jiang Xiaoyan turned around and went upstairs when he heard Stander's words.

"Jelton, go and help him choose." Stein watched Jiang Xiaoyan disappear around the corner of the stairs and reminded the smiling butler beside him.

"Yes, sir."

When Jiang Xiaoyan came down, he found that Colonel Stander was not in the living room. Jiang Xiaoyan looked around and saw no one.

"Master is changing clothes."

The butler also saw Jiang Xiaoyan's thoughts and reminded him aloud.

"Hasn't he already changed it?" Jiang Xiaoyan thought for a while that the colonel he just saw was indeed neatly dressed in military uniform, so why did he have to change it again just now.

"Master just came back this morning." The butler reminded him aloud.

"Ready?"

Just as Jiang Xiaoyan was about to ask the housekeeper what was going on, he heard Stand's voice from upstairs.

Jiang Xiaoyan followed the sound and saw that Stander had changed his military uniform, and that Stander's powerful body was wrapped in a straight dark blue suit. It was not the first time that Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't take his eyes off Stander's figure. It's really eye-catching, if he can grow up like this in the future, he will also dress so formally and look good every day.

"Ahem, let's go." Stand walked up to Jiang Xiaoyan and cleared his throat, hoping that Jiang Xiaoyan would pay attention to his image.

"I thought you only had a military uniform." Jiang Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed because of his gaffe just now, Stander looked so good, he felt that standing beside him was as funny as a clown.

"Let's go when you're ready." Stander stood sideways beside Jiang Xiaoyan, and looked down at Jiang Xiaoyan, who had just reached his chest. He was 17 years old?There should still be a chance to grow taller again. Stander thought back to what Jed said last time. Based on his observations in the past few days, Stander felt that this incident seemed to be true.

"It's ready." Jiang Xiaoyan looked down at his equipment, and then at Stand. He felt that his childish attire was really frustrating.

Jiang Xiaoyan originally thought that Jed would be driving today, but when the car appeared automatically, Jiang Xiaoyan nervously discovered that it turned out that he and Stand were the only ones going out to get their ore today.

"Jed didn't come today?" Jiang Xiaoyan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked nervously.

"This is private time."

Jiang Xiaoyan looked sideways at Stander's good-looking side face, a little afraid to imagine how he would spend the next time.

The car was driving neither fast nor slow, but in an orderly manner.

This car can travel in the air, and the speed will be much faster if it travels in the air, but it seems that Stander has no such plan at present.

The shopping mall next to the driveway may be due to the weekend, which finally made Jiang Xiaoyan feel a little bit back to the earth.

In fact, Jiang Xiaoyan only went out a few times when he was on earth, but it was just those few times that he became very interested in the outside world and gave him a new longing for freedom.

"If you want to go down and have a look, that's fine too. There's no rush to get the ore."

Stand's deep voice floated into Jiang Xiaoyan's mind along with the memories of the past.

"No, I don't have anything to buy." Before he left, his grandfather gave him living expenses, but he didn't want to be too extravagant if he wanted to live here for such a long time.

"You don't have to worry about money." Stander said right in the heart without even looking at him.

"I don't care about money." Jiang Xiaoyan turned his face out of the window, and now he felt a fever on his face.

There was no communication in the car for a long time.

It wasn't until they arrived at the destination that the two finally broke the calm. Stein took Jiang Xiaoyan to the mecha center.

Ore was originally the raw material needed by the mecha, so it came here.

Compared with other places, this place is really lively. Jiang Xiaoyan thinks that this is the store with the most people he has seen since he came to this world. Whether it is adults or children, they are all crowded into the store. .

Jiang Xiaoyan noticed that Stand had planned to enter through the main entrance at first, but after seeing so many people inside, he turned around and led Jiang Xiaoyan away through the VIP passage.

"It's so lively here? Is there any activity?" Jiang Xiaoyan took quick steps to keep up with Stander's speed. Stander is really tall, with a height of more than two meters, this step is enough I have to take two steps on my own.

"This has always been like this here, even if there is no way to spend, there will be many people who want to come and see it." Stein seemed to have noticed that Jiang Xiaoyan was struggling to follow, so he deliberately slowed down.

"Then shall we go to see it later?" Jiang Xiaoyan knew that Stander didn't want to be crowded with so many people, but he still had some expectations to go in and have a look.

"Let's talk later."

The two of them passed through the VIP passage, and when they reached the fifteenth floor, all the mecha materials were sold here, so those who can come to this floor are basically the strong or the rich and powerful.

Jiang Xiaoyan followed Stein to a relatively inconspicuous shop. There seemed to be a lot of things in it, so it seemed very crowded. After De arrived, he slowly got up to greet him.

"Are you here to get the piece of ore from last time?" The shopkeeper wiped his hands with a towel and then lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Yes, are you ready to separate?" From Stand's tone, Jiang Xiaoyan could tell that the two should be very familiar, so he even omitted their names.

"The texture of that ore is good, so it's a disadvantage for those seeds." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyan behind Stander.

"You are the owner of this ore, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiaoyan stood upright behind Stein with some restraint.

"Well, not bad." The shopkeeper's eyes turned back and forth twice on Stander and Jiang Xiaoyan, and then turned around and went to the compartment to take out Jiang Xiaoyan's ore and seeds.

Jiang Xiaoyan took the things and thanked them, then he couldn't wait to open them to see the current situation of the seeds.

"There is actually a grape seed!" Jiang Xiaoyan raised his head and looked at Stander excitedly. At such a moment, Stander felt as if he saw stars in Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes. He knew that Jiang Xiaoyan liked this. But he didn't know that he liked it so much.

"Congratulations." Probably because he was infected by Jiang Xiaoyan's emotions, Steind's lips curled up involuntarily.

Jiang Xiaoyan also watched the changes in Stander. This should be seeing Colonel Stander's smiling face in a real sense, right?It's not a sneer, it's not a polite smile, it's the kind of smile that can be felt from the eyes.

"These grape seeds will be given to you when they germinate." Jiang Xiaoyan said naturally, he knew that Stander liked to drink grape powder, but the taste of the powder was really far from that of real grapes.

"En." Stand put away his smile after Jiang Xiaoyan looked over, and then turned to bid farewell to the boss.

"Now go down and look at the mecha."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoyan's cheerful mouth nearly grinned to the back of his neck when he heard Stander's words.

"Wait, is there a toilet here? I want to fix it."

Stander glanced at Jiang Xiaoyan, as if he could see that he wanted to go to the toilet a long time ago, but he just kept holding back.

"Let's go."

When he got to the front of the bathroom, Stander stopped and signaled to Jiang Xiaoyan that he could go in.

"Aren't you going?" Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly turned around and asked before going in.

Stander's face darkened instantly after hearing this sentence.

"If I'm going, I don't need you to remind me."

"Then I'll go in." Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly grabbed his pants and went in.

After solving the physical problem, Jiang Xiaoyan instantly felt that even the air in the toilet was much fresher.

When Jiang Xiaoyan opened the door and came out, he heard someone talking on the phone outside. It didn't sound like he was reporting safety, but it sounded like he was reporting a mission.

After Jiang Xiaoyan came out, the man seemed to sense that someone was coming out, so he cut off the communication.

It was only through the mirror that Jiang Xiaoyan noticed the other person's appearance. He was tall, but he looked as gentle as Colonel Stander. This man also wore the formal suit with the best feeling, probably because he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, so Gives a gentle image.

The man went out before Jiang Xiaoyan, and Jiang Xiaoyan came out quickly after drying his hands, fearing that Colonel Stander would be in a hurry.

It’s just that when Jiang Xiaoyan came out and walked around, he didn’t see Stander’s people. The place looks very big, with many twists and turns. Jiang Xiaoyan, who came here for the first time, didn’t dare to walk around for fear that Stander might not be able to find him for a while. to myself.

Jiang Xiaoyan dialed Stand's signal, and it was always displayed as busy.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan saw Stand coming out of the corner.

"I thought where were you going? Just now your smart bracelet has been busy." Seeing Stander appearing, Jiang Xiaoyan finally felt relieved.

"Then are we going to go down to see the mecha now?" Jiang Xiaoyan walked ahead, looking a little eager to try.

"Let's go." I don't know if it was Jiang Xiaoyan's illusion. He felt that after Stander appeared again, he seemed to be a little absent-minded in everything. Colonel Stander in a daze?

Although Colonel Stein seems to be a bit lacking in interest behind him, Jiang Xiaoyan is very happy. He has never visited a specialty store of this kind of mecha before, so he looks very excited when he sees everything. Standing there to pick them up, this time the smile on his face was so big that he could hardly find his eyes.

After Stand went back, he went upstairs. Gelton looked at the colonel who disappeared on the stairs and asked in a puzzled way what happened to them today?Are you not having fun?

"No, I think it's pretty good, but he's like this after I went to the toilet and came back." Jiang Xiaoyan thought about the situation at that time, he just invited him to go to the toilet together, it shouldn't be because of Such a trivial matter should turn his face, but his face did change at that time.

"It's okay, he was born with an unhappy face, which has nothing to do with you." Gerton patted Jiang Xiaoyan's shoulder to express his comfort.

Although Jiang Xiaoyan was curious about what happened to Stander, what he was most concerned about now was the few seeds he just got. All of them have been handed over to the most powerful scientists for research, hoping to improve the diet of the people of the entire empire.

After dinner in the evening, Jiang Xiaoyan went upstairs with a small water basin. He is in a good mood today, as long as he pays attention to it, he can feel it.

When he passed Stander's room, the people inside had just come out.

"Good evening." Jiang Xiaoyan greeted Stander with a smile.Perhaps it was because Jiang Xiaoyan felt that the distance between him and Colonel Stander had been shortened a lot by this opportunity today, which led him to have the illusion that the colonel is actually easy to get along with.

"Okay." After Stander responded, he planned to go down. He has now changed into a military uniform, and even put on white gloves on his hands again.

Jiang Xiaoyan watched Stand go down, and suddenly the person in front stopped.

"There is still that agreement between us, you and I should not forget it."
