Professor, your turtle!

Ji Fan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

The dim light from the street lamp penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating a small piece of the roof. The monotonous white suspended ceiling, mixed with a warm yellow halo, seemed to have become sticky, as if... as if Mr. Fu had fed him. Pistachio ice cream.

The half-melted ice cream trickled down slowly, enveloping him, sinking deeper into the sweet dreamland.

What is it like to be willing to give your favorite thing to another person?Ji Fan thought drowsily.

——Although I can't figure it out clearly, it can at least explain that in that person's heart, he is more important than delicious ice cream, right?

Ji Fan let go of his mind, and even felt a little ecstatic.

"Little turtle?" Accompanied by a familiar voice, the "room" vibrated like an earthquake.

Ji Fan stuck out his head dizzily, only to realize that it wasn't an earthquake at all, but that Mr. Fu was persistently poking his own shell.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a large pile of colorful turtle food spread in front of him, Ji Fan turned his head away in disgust, moved his hind feet, and went in another direction.

Fu Mingyuan then packed up the bait balls and said firmly, "You're here."

"Come on, let's go to the toilet first." He lifted the lid of the aquarium and said naturally, "I'm going to take you to the bed later."

Ji Fan: "!"

He raised his neck and stared at the man who didn't change his face: Hey, don't you think there's something wrong with this?To change the context is completely sexual harassment!

Fu Mingyuan looked calm, let him stare at him generously, and said after a while, "Well, are you shy? Still don't want to go to the bathroom?" He stood up and said, "Then you can solve it yourself, and I will come back to see you in 10 minutes. "

Ji Fan really wanted to continue to protest, but his physical problems were urgent.

Speaking of it, the tortoise Xincheng has a very slow metabolism, and there is no problem in hibernating without eating and drinking for a few months.

However, whenever he lies in the water, the two sides of the cloaca will automatically store water. Once he is lifted by the tortoise shell, the water in the sac will be automatically discharged due to the pressure, which looks the same as peeing.

This is usually misunderstood by everyone as: the little turtle was scared to pee by the sudden action of the owner.But in fact that is not the case at all.

Although it is a normal physiological phenomenon, just imagine how embarrassing it would be if you were lifted up by a male god and held in your hand to play with, and then suddenly plummeted down!

In view of the special physiological structure of the tortoise, it is impossible to drain the water even if it is anxious, so Ji Fan turned his head to find a stone and began to rub his tail.

Generally speaking, stimulating the tail or plastron can make the turtle urinate - this is the knowledge he searched on the Internet.

When the owners of the turtles communicated, they even mentioned that they could use a toothbrush to brush the plastron when encountering constipation in pet turtles.

Despite the hard shell of the tortoise, there are abundant nerves and blood vessels inside. That is to say, the outer shell of the tortoise has a keen sense of touch. If you use a toothbrush to brush the sensitive parts...

Ji Fan shivered while rubbing his tail - at that moment, his mood reached a high degree of unity with the geranium in Lao Xu's office.

Should I be glad that Mr. Fu can't surf the Internet now?

Hey, finally solved the urgent problem.He didn't dare to go into the water again, so he picked a clean pebble and lay down obediently.

Fu Mingyuan came back soon, picked up the little tortoise and put it on the soft cushion at the head of the bed, pulled the warm bedside lamp to shine on him, and carried the aquarium into the bathroom by himself.

After a while, the sound of splashing water came out, which showed that Mr. Fu was busy with "cleaning up".

——Although the incubator has an automatic circulation system, it still needs to be cleaned regularly to completely remove the moss and fungus hidden in the crevices, so as to prevent infection to the turtle and bring about bad problems such as rotting nails.

So, although he soaks in the water every day and doesn't have many opportunities to bask in the sun in Antarctica, Ji Fan has always been a clean, healthy little turtle.

He scratched the mat, only to realize that his claws had also been carefully trimmed—perhaps because he scratched each other in the "nursery bag" that day.

Fu Mingyuan is indeed a very careful person.

Turtle nails are the same as cats and dogs, with rich blood vessels underneath, it is difficult to trim, and it will bleed if you are not careful.

But Ji Fan's ten claws were clean, not to mention bleeding, he didn't even feel that they were shortened.Ji Fan couldn't help feeling a little emotional, even if he raised the tortoise himself, he might not be able to cover everything in this way.

Taking advantage of Fu Mingyuan's busy time, he retreated into the turtle shell to work.

After finishing homework and test questions, a few pieces of lettuce in the melon field are ripe.Since the "Ripening" function was not selected, the lettuce that had been shaved before grew out one after another this time.

After Ji Fan finished picking, his experience bar went up a bit, only 2% away from level 20.00 farmland.As usual, he kept two of the freshest vegetables, and sold the rest to the mall.

After switching to Gold Leaf and opening a special shopping mall, the props displayed there are still very unscrupulous.Ji Fan blushed and scrolled down, and finally found the only virtual item that seemed to be useful.

[Virtual portrait: Tuoma's 3D light and shadow, can be deployed in any space, one-time props. 】

[Price: 800 Gold Leaf]

3d?The effect is vague, but the price is not too expensive.

Ji Fan only hesitated for a moment before buying it, and threw it backhanded into the warehouse—compared to spending money on those unscrupulous appliances, the virtual items in the mall are always more reliable.

There will always be a chance to use it, he thought.

Finally found the last item in the mall, Ji Fan was a little disappointed - he originally wanted to see if there would be another "walkie-talkie" to make it easier for him to restock, but unfortunately there was no, it seemed that he could only wait until tomorrow.

After exiting the mall interface, he completed today's krill water change task step by step.

【Ding!Mission completion: 110%]

[Task progress: Completed]

The sudden sound effect startled him a lot, changing the water every day has almost become his habit, but the main task was completed so quickly?

Ji Fan hurriedly lowered his head to check, and saw a huge silent vortex in the dark breeding box, and even the outer shell vibrated.

The beautiful fluorescent organs of countless krill reflect light and shimmer like lantern fish gathered in the deep sea.

They gathered together, slowly swam up to Ji Fan, and gently touched the wall of the compartment.Ji Fan hesitated and stretched out his fingers, and tapped their tentacles through the glass.

The krill then writhed happily, as if answering his greeting.

They touched Ji Fan's fingers one by one, and turned around along the wall of the compartment with nostalgia, and finally threw themselves in the direction of the whirlpool without looking back.

One, two... Countless.They were submerged into the dark sea water one by one, and some miniature shrimps had just broken their shells and were sucked in by the whirlpool.

After sucking away all the creatures, the vortex turned faster.

The sea water was turned upside down, and at that moment, Ji Fan almost had an illusion, as if the small breeding box in front of him had turned into a vast and deep sea.

His eyes widened slightly.Until the vortex completely disappeared and the water surface calmed down again, he suddenly understood what those big krills wanted to convey earlier.

—They are saying goodbye.

The breeding tank, which was originally bustling and bustling, became empty now, and the water quality was clear and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Ji Fan withdrew his finger, suddenly feeling indescribably sad and lost.

Before he could finish suffering, a cheerful reminder sounded——

【Ding!Reward: Shrimp's favor.please check! 】

[Remarks: Arthropod favorability is permanent ax]

Eh, eh? ? ?Arthropods?Wait, is that the arthropod he was thinking of?Just when he was in a daze, the breeding box was lit up, and a brand new task appeared on the glass surface.

The system tone began to broadcast new tasks non-stop.

[Trigger task: Big Fish Farmer (Level [-])]

[Remarks: Rescuing the endangered Antarctic cod (Small toothed Antarctic fish) is the duty of a biology lover! 】

[Task reward: Yuyu's favor (fish and animal favorability ax)]

[Remarks: Player "Little Turtle" please continue to work hard and don't slack off! 】

Ji Fan: "..."

Ji Fan: "!!!" So is it a chain mission?How many aquatic animals does he need to raise?

There was no time for him to refuse, the water intake gate was opened, and countless strange-looking deep-sea fish entered the arena along the current with a high profile.

Seeing the stunned breeder, they patted their tails reservedly, then swam proudly to the other side of the water tank with their chins raised.

The temperature in the breeding box dropped rapidly, the pressure increased, and the light dimmed.In order to simulate the deep sea environment, the sea water in the box even presents a clear blue—because the water temperature is too low.

After staring at this group of "little fish" for a long time, Ji Fan was finally sure that this is really not an ordinary breeding tank.

You know, when fully grown, Antarctic cod is 200 cm long and weighs 20 kg.After a closer look, the one-meter-square breeding tank in front of me probably couldn't even hold a single fish.

But now, there are far more than a dozen fish swimming leisurely in the tank—the system must have used a special method to reduce the size of the fish.

Having said that, this type of cod is different from krill, which was in crisis due to overfishing as early as a few years ago.

There is only one spine in the whole body, the meat is fresh and tender, and the color is jade white or transparent. It does not need to be cooked too much when eating. Just steaming the fish can present a delicious and smooth taste.

Due to the special meat quality of fat and tender, the super high cost of deep-sea fishing can't resist the "gourmets" from all over the world who are flocking to it.

It has gradually become a very precious delicacy in the fish world.Later, in order to protect the fragile Antarctic ecosystem, many countries and regions began to restrict the fishing and trading of Antarctic cod. However, in the face of huge interests, these regulations are destined to be a drop in the bucket.

Compared with the overwhelming number of krill, it is not surprising that the system releases the task of breeding rare cod.

The habits of this group of rare fish are exactly the opposite of those of Antarctic shrimp. Krill will only return to the shallow sea after they become adults, while the juvenile fish of the small scaled Antarctic tooth fish live in shallow waters of about 200 meters, but the adult fish can always migrate to the sea. Below 3000 meters.

The task Ji Fan received was to control the clapboard and control the progress of the juvenile fish's migration every day.

He tried to do it, and found that the task was similar to that of krill, so he was relieved.

Seeing Ji Fan's movements, the bold fish gradually approached.They scrambled to be the first to stick their big, strangely shaped eyes on the glass, and looked curiously at the strange two-legged beast in front of them.

Ji Fan lowered his head and looked at this group of ugly "peerless delicacies", and a well-known joke suddenly flashed in his mind.

"—Why are you deep-sea fish so ugly?"

"—there is no light on the bottom of the sea, anyway, no one can see anyone, so it grows casually."

Antarctic cod can be said to be a typical example of "casual length". The eyes, mouth and fins are all very perfunctory, and only the silhouette can be seen as a fish.

Facing the strange giant ugly fish, Ji Fan vaguely felt that he should feel afraid, but for some reason, instead of being afraid, he felt a little kind.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his fingers across the glass plate, and ran them teasingly across their large zigzag mouths, just like when playing with krill.

Hula la!The vicious-looking fishes were startled, and they all ran away. It was not until a long, long time later that they dared to push each other, poke their heads, and gather around the glass again.

——Antarctic cod is typically tall but not galled. Although the body is almost two meters long, you see, in their eyes, animals on land are more terrifying.

Ji Fan showed great kindness, and stopped scaring these "little" poor people, and lowered the shading veil.

When Fu Mingyuan cleaned up the little turtle's house and came back indoors, the little pet lying on his bed had changed from a turtle to a human.

Ji Fan was lying on the mattress, propping his chin to read a thick professional book.

He was casually wrapped in Fu Mingyuan's pajamas, and the duvet barely covered his waistline.When lying on the stomach, the exposed waistline collapsed for a while, making it look flexible and slender.The underside of the quilt is bulging, full of curves, I don't know if it's because of the inflated down, or...

Fu Mingyuan looked away calmly, sat down by the bed, turned his gaze to Ji Fan's serious reading face, only to find that he was wearing two big mosquito coils.

Look at the cover again - "Finite Element Analysis Method for Composite Load Cases".

He finally couldn't help laughing, took out the tome from Ji Fan's hand, threw it aside, and rubbed his head comfortingly: "Don't look at this, it hurts your eyes."

As he spoke, he leaned over and turned over the bedside table, and took out a beautiful picture book—it was the "The Little Prince" he told Ji Fan before going to bed last time.

"Let's look at this instead?" Fu Mingyuan suggested.

Ji Fan's mosquito-repellent eyes immediately retreated, turned over, and protested dissatisfiedly: "I'm not a child anymore." He even coaxed him with a fairy tale book.

He held up the notebook and handed it under Fu Mingyuan's eyes, expressing strong condemnation.

Fu Mingyuan was a little embarrassed: "I don't have any other basic reading materials here..." He stood up, and slowly brushed the book with his slender fingers, and suddenly pulled out a thin handout book from it.

After blowing off the dust, he turned around and said seriously: "Calculus, do you want to learn it? It's easy."

Ji Fan thought his helpless look was cute, so he sat up cross-legged and wrote slowly, "I'll just listen to you."

The pajamas are still too big.It's okay to lie down, but once you sit up, the neckline will slide open, revealing the delicate shape of the clavicle and the white and firm skin underneath.

Fu Mingyuan: "..." He coughed dryly, and put down the booklet, "I haven't given basic courses to undergraduates, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach them well, so forget it." His voice was extremely weak, as if teaching mathematics is a trivial matter, which is more important than others. It seems even more difficult to lead a team to tackle key problems.

Ji Fan didn't force it, shrugged, and took the storybook again.Seeing him so well-behaved, Fu Mingyuan felt a little uncomfortable.

The obedient little pet held the coloring book and quietly read two pages, while Fu Mingyuan looked at him nonchalantly.

Suddenly, Ji Fan closed the book and announced, "I want to eat some snacks."

"Now?" Fu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Can't you?"

Since he failed to satisfy the other party's wish just now, Fu Mingyuan failed to adhere to the principle of regular meals: "...OK. I'll get it."

The only remaining ice cream was placed in the cold outhouse, and he turned back after a while, covered in cold air.

Ji Fan patted the warm blanket and motioned for the other person to sit in.

"Can I eat in bed?" he asked earnestly, "It's too cold outside."

It was indeed a bit cold, Fu Mingyuan thought, the other party was only wearing pajamas, eating ice outside might make him sick.So the picky and harsh Professor Fu made an exception for the second time in one day and allowed the other party to eat in bed.

Ji Fan opened the box, listened to Mr. Fu's words, did not lick the lid, crumpled the paper lid and threw it into the trash can.

He held up a small plastic spoon, scraped off the cream that was caked on all sides, and sucked it in his mouth for a while.

Fu Mingyuan sat next to him, quietly watching him eat as usual.

Ji Fan raised his eyes to look at him, a sly light flashed in his eyes, and he pushed the box away.

"how?"

"It's so boring, I don't want to eat it." Ji Fan frowned and complained.

"Hmm..." Fu Mingyuan was not angry, and took the box, "Then shall I freeze it for you?"

"But the paper cover has been lost."

"It's okay, it's clean outside..."

Ji Fan sat up on his knees, looked him straight up, and held up the writing board: "Oh, last time you said that there are many germs in Antarctica that have been frozen for thousands of years, are you lying to me?"

Fu Mingyuan: "..."

"Eat it for me." Ji Fan finished writing, and added, "Please."

Fu Mingyuan began to waver: "Well, since you begged me so much..."

"Eat, eat." Ji Fan crawled to the end of the bed, took a clean spoon from the mug on the desk, and was just about to pass it to the other party, but saw that Mr. Fu was already accustomed to eating with the leftover spoon he just used. Woke up.

Ji Fan: "..."

Fu Mingyuan: "What?" He probably really loves ice cream, although his tone is still flat, but his long and narrow eyes are already narrowed with joy.

Ji Fan shook his head and put the spoon back.

"Do you know that you can't be picky eaters?" Fu Mingyuan ate the box of ice cream in a hurry, and then turned his head to criticize him righteously, "You are so delicate and picky eaters, you will not grow tall."

Ji Fan: "..." Is the height a problem?

Obviously it's all to accommodate you!
