Extra 2-9
Just halfway through the dinner, Ji Mingjiang and Clarice, who hadn’t come here for the purpose of expanding their network, left the magnificent hall without anyone noticing. They walked side by side with the person they had just confirmed their relationship with for less than a day on the clean and spacious path. Ji Mingjiang’s brain, which had relaxed a little because he was away from the noisy environment, recalled something that could be said to be very important or trivial.
“What’s wrong?”
Realizing that the pace of the person next to him suddenly slowed down, Leiden, whose eyebrows softened a lot when he was alone with Ji Mingjiang, turned his head and asked.
“Suddenly I remembered something…”
Ji Mingjiang said it with a somewhat stiff expression.
He just remembered that when he first saw that post, he seemed to join in the fun and reply to it.
Simply replying is not a big deal, but the problem is…
“Is there no anonymous setting on this forum?” asked Ji Mingjiang, who was enjoying eating his own melon.
The two looked at each other.
After returning to his residence, Ji Mingjiang hurriedly clicked on the post he had replied to. As he expected, although the post had already been marked with a hot sign when he saw it, at this time, the number of replies was almost ten times more than before, and almost half of them were with his reply.
“…”
Ji Mingjiang slammed into the bed behind him and said in a jarring voice, “Although I really didn’t want to hide it, isn’t it a bit too sudden to make it public?”
A head of messy silver hair flopped on the soft bedding. Looking at Ji Mingjiang lying on the bed staring at him, Leiden’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down untimely, and then he met Ji Mingjiang’s increasingly dangerous eyes. He coughed lightly and then said, “What does it matter? Anyway, as long as we don’t take the initiative to admit it, then they will only have to guess.”
Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang nodded thoughtfully.

The next morning, Ji Mingjiang followed Wilson’s specially sent personnel to walk around the Federation’s mermaid center.
Compared with the Empire’s mermaid center, the Federation still lacks some humanistic care. Although the Empire was a little too caring before…
Looking at the tall building in front of him, whether it was to improve land utilization and save land or because it was a Federation feature that was no different from human residential buildings, Ji Mingjiang couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Noticing Ji Mingjiang’s not-so-good facial expression, the man acting as the commentator gave a very embarrassed laugh. The curiosity and excitement that arose when he knew he could see the most special mermaid in the Empire faded away. At this moment, he wished that he had never appeared in front of Ji Mingjiang at all.
What the hell? This kind of oppressive feeling is like meeting your immediate boss after work or meeting the dean for the first time when you were a student… Is this what a mermaid should have? !
“Mr. Ji, let’s go in and talk first.”
It was clearly the beginning of spring, but cold sweat slowly broke out on the forehead of the person leading the way. Having vaguely heard of the “glorious deeds” of the mermaid in front of him, he was a little worried at this moment whether the mermaid would kill him in anger and reduce the center they had finally built to rubble.
But things went surprisingly well.
Of course, it was for Ji Mingjiang, who was invited to solve the problem.
After following the guide into the mermaid center and looking around, he knew what the mermaids here were like.
To put it simply, it reminded him of the animals that were locked up in a zoo with severe underfunding and a depressing environment in his previous life. They only had a small range of activities every day. The people responsible for taking care of them were not very professional, and their faces remained expressionless every day…
Who wouldn’t be depressed?
The corresponding solution is, naturally, very simple. Ji Mingjiang called the person in charge here and pointed out the areas that needed improvement one by one with an expressionless face. Then he patted the head of the mermaid next to him, who had a rare curiosity in his eyes. The person in charge was nodding and bowing in the background as he walked out of the Mermaid Center, which was about to be overthrown and rebuilt.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he happened to see Leiden waiting.
“Has it been dealt with?” Leiden asked in a relaxed tone, as he was very comfortable with his new identity. He stepped forward to help Ji Mingjiang soothe his ears, which were fleeing in all directions.
Ji Mingjiang nodded and followed him forward while explaining: “It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are full of problems here. I can only give some preliminary suggestions first, such as at least giving the fish a relaxing time. If further suggestions are needed, we need to observe the subsequent situation.”
“so?”
Intuiting that Ji Mingjiang still had something to say, Leiden raised his eyebrows slightly and asked very cooperatively.
“So I told the person in charge that if there was any need later, let him go to Abbott Wilson to apply.”
The corner of Ji Mingjiang’s mouth curled upwards. “In the future, maybe we can come out for an extra holiday every year.”
“And then make Wilson’s mouth foam with anxiety, right?” Leiden chuckled, as if he had already foreseen Abbot Wilson’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The key is that he still has to invite them. After all, if there’s anyone who knows the mermaid best now, it’s definitely Ji Mingjiang. A year later, even if Wilson himself doesn’t want to invite them, he will have to repeat this year’s process of being pressured by the Federation people.
“Let’s go; just settle this issue first. I’ve already picked out a few tourist stars in the Federation that have pretty good reviews.”
The gesture that was originally just rubbing the back of his hands unknowingly turned into a gesture of interlocking fingers. The two warm and dry palms were pressed together. The heat gradually spread from the palms all the way up and finally spread to the tips of their ears.

Various forums and Starnet have become lively since last night. Even though both days are working days, this cannot dampen people’s enthusiasm for gossiping about their own fish and His Majesty’s unspeakable things.
[Damn it, why haven’t any of these two responded yet? Is Jiang Jiang just playing tricks on us? !]
1L: As mentioned, the more I think about it, the more I think it’s possible! Looking at the time, Jiang Jiang replied at the same time as the dinner party on the Federation side. I feel that it’s very likely that Jiang Jiang was too bored and then came to play with us ……
8L: Although your guess, the poster, is somewhat reasonable and somewhat in line with Jiang Jiang’s character, but… I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen, ahhhhhh! Regardless, CPF will have to wait another year until they both come out to explain.
20L: Probably, probably, maybe… he won’t be so idle to go this far, right? I feel like they haven’t come out yet to explain because they’re busy with business. After all, Jiang Jiang went to the Federation because of the mermaid problem. But then again, wouldn’t it have been enough to invite Jiang Jiang alone for the mermaid issue? So why did His Majesty tag along?
21L: Maybe the mermaid that has just become an adult still cannot live without his guardian.
30L: What’s said is done; His Majesty has posted a star blog!
45L: It’s so funny that Jiang Jiang didn’t post it himself. His majesty couldn’t have banned him from touching electronic products, right?
50L:? ? ?
66L:? ? ? ?
83L: Ah, this row of question marks seems familiar… I’d also like to know why a rare star blogging session turned out to be full of landscape photos, ah????? Have you been hacked, Your Majesty? ? ?
90L: Aren’t you going to work? You can’t just leave our Jiang Jiang aside and go out to play by yourself, right? !
104L: No, no, no, this may be something that Jiang Jiang would do, but His Majesty would never do such an unreliable thing.
In fact, if it’s not my CP brain, you guys can take a closer look at the occasional shadows in the photos and the edges of some of the photos. Why do I feel that Jiang Jiang’s hair is in the spotlight?
105L: Let me finish what the person above wants to say. Those photos with shadows really look like they were taken by two people holding hands or one person putting his head on another person’s shoulder.
110L: Erm …… I think it’s almost good enough to be a hammer, although it’s not quite Thor’s Hammer …… But I really enjoyed it. It’s a publicly funded relationship, isn’t it!
“Publicly funded relationship?”
Ji Mingjiang, who was lying on the grass with his head resting on Clarice’s thigh, looked through the forum discussions with a normal expression and involuntarily read out the words that appeared in the latest reply.
“?”
“What?”
He openly stroked Ji Mingjiang’s silky hair and repeated his trick to take another photo with only a shadow. Before he could send it to his Starnet account, he heard Ji Mingjiang murmuring something. Leiden quickly turned his attention to his lover.
“What did you post the photo just now? I saw the latest reply on the post. They were saying they would wait for us to explain, but now they have already said that ‘we are in a publicly funded relationship’.”
Ji Mingjiang raised his hand to grab Leiden’s wrist hanging above his head, and the other party cooperated very well to display his light brain screen.
Several particularly familiar photos appeared in front of him, and Ji Mingjiang was very keen to see the few strands of his own hair that appeared in the photo and the shadows of various postures in the photos, such as holding hands, hugging the waist, or leaning against each other’s heads.
“Tsk, no wonder.”
Ji Mingjiang glanced understandingly at Leiden, who had some thin redness at the tips of his ears, and instantly rolled over and sat up, during which an unexpected muffled grunt was heard because of his posture.
“Cough.” After realizing where he had pressed, Ji Mingjiang coughed uncomfortably, then directly grabbed Leiden’s palm, which was larger than his, and held it with their fingers interlocked.
“Shoot.” Facing Leiden’s expression as if he hadn’t reacted yet, Ji Mingjiang shook his tightly held hand. “What’s the point of pretending and engaging in so many secretive little moves?”
“It will be made public sooner or later anyway, so just think of it as giving them a good time.”
Although he said encouraging words, Ji Mingjiang still felt a little nervous in his heart.
After Leiden was stunned for a moment, he just took this position and gently pulled his arm back, causing Ji Mingjiang, whose center of gravity was unstable, to fall directly into his arms.
A searing kiss fell on the center of his lips that were open in surprise, and six big words popped up on the screen that were shaking alone in the air at some point: The photo was sent successfully.
…
[Damn it, why haven’t any of these two responded yet? Is it because Jiang Jiang is just playing tricks on us? ! ]
346L:? ? ? What did I just see? What did I just see? ! Isn’t this action a little too much, I’d say?
489L: Damn it, am I reading it right? In the new star blog posted by His Majesty, apart from the holding hands shadow in the first picture, are the shadows in the second picture kissing each other? ? ?
500L: I’m stupid. I’m stupid. My mind is still confused. Is this too fast? I even looked up the subject of our post. Isn’t this a post waiting for Jiang Jiang to come out and explain the relationship between the two?
521L: Erm, explaining that the two of them are together is not an explanation.
…
600L: Let me just say that Ji Mingjiang has pure bad taste. In case anyone is too lazy to read it, I helped copy Jiang Jiang’s star blog [Light Cigarette.jpg]
@Jimingjiang: I came across a lot of posts when I was bored, so I would like to explain and respond to everyone’s concerns. To put it simply, the achievement of love at public expense has been successfully achieved.
620L: Damn it, I got picked on! I definitely got picked on!
650L: Hey, I don’t care if I’m being called out, but I’m still going to shout that the CP I’m high on is real! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!
666L: Great! Everyone’s a winner in life! !
Hua: So this is the very last chapter of this novel. Thank you for reading til the end~
