    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 30


    The phrase referred to attracting a mate, in a rut, or courtship? I had no idea how to exin this phrase


    and what Dicken had been doing.


    Regardless, Dicken’s actions were obviously of a teasing nature to me. If it were a monkey or gori


    before me, I would analyze them rationally from a scientific perspective without feeling embarrassed


    even if they were unting their penises.


    But when it came to Dicken and his lewd hints, I couldn’t exin the meaning behind the word, I would


    rather bury my head in a hole like an ostrich.


    Why did I feel that way? Was I subconsciously treating him as a human being?


    No, that wasn’t possible. That was definitely not true!

    As I was being tormented by my own thoughts, Laura had been staring at me and waiting for my


    answer which made me feel more ashamed than I already was. I could only turn to Gary for help. But


    when I turned to look at him, he pretended not to see it. I felt as though he was saying ‘See? You


    brought this upon yourself! ‘


    I could only say with a thick face, “This… refers to… ‘


    partner’.“


    I swear I didn’t mean to be untruthful to scientific facts! But the words continued to leave my lips. “


    This phrase could have a special meaning to inerpeople. So when I shouted this phrase, it attracted


    him. As for the specific meaning of this phrase, we will only know for sure when we analyze it with


    Professor Peter after he wakes up.”


    Laura seemed disappointed with my answer. She sighed and said, ”Alice was a lot of effort to raise as


    she was our only mermaid clone. I didn’t expect her to be that merman’s food source. Why did he


    suddenly go insane? This is unbelievable! “


    Recalling what I saw earlier of Alice’s tragic state, I couldn’t help but feel my chest tighten. My inability


    to stop that from happening tormented me with guilt.


    I said sadly, ”I don’t know why this happened as well. Peter said that the merman had been refusing to


    eat since he was brought here. He didn’t even devour the dolphins that were with him. Why then did he


    eat another of the same species… ”


    ”This is exactly why we need your help, Linda”, Laura interrupted as she ced a hand on my


    shoulder, ”only you can effectivelymunicate with him. You’re really a genius in biology. With my


    authority as the head of this facility, I cordially invite you to lead the merpeople research project. I will


    prepare an official letter of employment. I suppose this will be a good opportunity for you to gather


    material for your thesis. Of course, this project is also very important to the Japanese government.”


    I inhaled a deep breath, ruminating on what Laura had said. I asked, ”You mean the government is


    hiring me, and I will be working for the government?”


    Based on the years of experience as a student, I could tell Laura wasn’t saying this as an academic but


    rather, as a colonel. If I were to refuse, I would never have the chance to research merpeople ever


    again. This was an oue I could never ept as merpeople research had been my goal for the past


    several years.


    I nodded my head and said, ”I ept.”


    ”Then as her professor, I’m willing to supervise her as shepletes this project, Professor Laura.


    She’s still quite young and has no prior experience in working here.”


    Gary seemed to have nned to say this line immediately after I finished mine. I could tell he was


    anxious. I had never seen him be so careful before, and I could neverprehend the deeper meaning


    behind his words.
