Chapter 8: Human Observation Diary
Chapter 8: Human Observation Diary
That day, Ariel followed Su's suggestion.
The newly planted flowers are blooming very well. It is the same as the last flower and color picture in the eel steward's record book. It is printed and drawn with special magic equipment. There is also a relatively detailed seed introduction below. It is Ariel Required in case the wrong seed supply causes duplication of colors.
The bright and brilliant flowers have the appearance they should have on the day when they are in full bloom, and they are surrounded by the flower garden in a bright red color, much like the sun that was born in the morning.
"The work is serious, meticulous, quite self-disciplined and self-conscious. There is no major problem with personality, occasionally a little cold, and every time I finish my work, I will return to my place..."
Butler Eel lay on the stone table and quickly recorded something. While writing, he observed Su who was wiping the flower bed, completely ignoring Ariel who was slowly approaching from behind.
"It seems that the little princess likes her very much because of the inexplicable affection she has always had for humans?"
The butler was taken aback by the sudden voice, and Ariel showed a cute smile.
"What is it?"
"Uh, princess, why did you come so early?"
Ariel stroked his fins, bowed her head and continued to read:
"[Note]: The little princess seems to have a good impression of her, but it seems that the relationship has not progressed much, so there should be no worries..."
The housekeeper hurriedly closed the notebook: "Ahem..."
Ariel looked up at Su who was working: "Grandmother and father always think too much..."
"This is necessary, little princess, you think too little."
"Think less?" Ariel was noncommittal.
"Little princess, why do you have such a good impression of humans?"
"Well... Actually it's not..."
"what"
"Steward Eel, what do you think of the flowers this time?"
"It's still red, princess."
"So, that's it."
The eel steward wiped his sweat: "For so many years, I grew up with the little princess, but there are still many times when I can't understand the little princess..."
"Can I read it?" Ariel picked up the black book.
"I'm very embarrassed, little princess, this is a report to be handed over to Grandma and Sea King."
"Okay, I'll just watch it here." She nodded and sat down.
The eel steward couldn't laugh or cry.Little princess, are you talking to yourself?
She was sitting on a stone chair decorated with patterns beside her, watching seriously, and the sound of turning over the paper was very soft.
The butler watched anxiously.
But when she saw the countdown pages, she stopped suddenly.She flipped forward, found a certain page, and tore it off along the way.
The sudden sound of tearing paper made the butler completely messed up.
"Uncle housekeeper, I'm sorry, um... But it's better not to have things you're not sure about."
"However, Grandmother Anxi requested an analysis..."
Coincidentally, Su, who finished wiping the flower bed above, came down.
"Hi, Sue." Ariel raised her head.
The eel steward's eyebrows twitched.
"Hi" Su put the water plant towel aside, paused and said, "The flowers are blooming, Princess Ariel."
Ariel turned her gaze back to the notebook: "I like it very much, thank you."
Su smiled, turned around and went on to the next flower bed.
Ariel closed the book and returned it to the housekeeper.
The eel steward didn't know whether to laugh or cry.I hid aside and flipped through it, and found the torn space, a few pages of conjecture analysis paragraphs about Su.
noon.
Ariel stared at Su standing in front of her, quietly waiting for her to speak.
"Want to have lunch?" Sue asked her.
Gwendolyn also came to the garden as scheduled at this time, poked her head in and shouted, "Ariel, let's have dinner together."
"Sorry, sister." Ariel immediately turned to the door and shouted to Gwendoline, "I forgot to mention this morning, I brought food."
"Bring meals to eat in the garden? That's something you only liked to do when you were ten years old..." Gwendolyn said suspiciously.
"Huh? Can't you?"
"It's not impossible." Gwendolyn glanced at Su: "Okay, I'll let you go today."
……
Su handed the lunch box to Ariel: "Eat."
"What about you?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't eat at noon, it should be said that you are more used to it."
Ariel looked at the food thoughtfully.
"What were you watching just now?" Su asked casually.
"Human Observation Diary."
"kindness?"
"I also wrote a book, do you want to read it?"
Ariel took the fork that Su handed over, and curiously poked at the dish she had never seen before.
Su Wuyu: "You guys are really scary."
Ariel tilted her head: "Are you curious about the content?"
"No, not at all."
Ariel picked up a big siu mai and looked left and right curiously: "Why?"
"Because you can guess..."
"Really?" Ariel stared at the big siu mai, she didn't seem to know how to put her mouth to this new food.
Su said: "Just like the books we record various animals and insects on the shore, they usually have photos or drawings. If not, they describe their appearance in detail, list the incredible parts of their bodies, and analyze their living habits. , and if necessary, it can also mention the use of its useful parts and the degree of danger. In the end, there must be a conclusion, okay, one that should be close, or a pest or a creature that needs to be avoided... Honestly speaking, it is not an observation diary, it is Judgment report. How can I be interested in reading it... Hey?! It’s too much to swallow such a big siu mai in one gulp!”
Ariel looked at Su with puffy cheeks.
Su hurriedly checked whether there was water in the bag, pulled it away and realized that he was in the water...
"You talk too fast..." Su said helplessly.
Ariel nodded in pain, chewed and swallowed bit by bit with difficulty.During this period, Su thought countless times that she would really choke...
"So it's called siu mai." She seemed to be remembering.
"Now is not the time to care about its name." Su hurriedly squeezed her jaw to confirm whether she really ate the whole thing and whether there was any danger of choking.
It seemed that he swallowed it all, and after there was no reaction, Su said with lingering fear.
"Ask me next time you eat, don't do this again."
She nodded with the expression of the rest of her life, and praised fragmentarily:
"delicious."
Su was speechless, probably some of them were stuck somewhere.
"You can talk later before your throat recovers..."
"kindness……"
However, it seemed that this shock did not cause any shadow to Ariel herself, and she was going to continue eating.
"Take a small bite." Su looked at her worriedly, "...do you really think these dishes are delicious and are you used to them?"
"It looks different, but the ingredients are still the same." As she spoke, she picked up another siu mai, and she seemed to have a soft spot for this kind of food.
"You... eat slowly." Su emphasized again.
Ariel took a bite knowingly, and showed Su the gap.
Su felt relieved for the time being.
"Did you do all of this?" Ariel asked.
"Well, please, Grandpa Simon. After discussing with the chef, he said that I can borrow a vacant seat in the kitchen and dining room."
"Is it like this every day?"
"Well, make one for yourself every day."
Su Xin thought, in the future, I need to prepare a little more, otherwise I will suffer in today's situation. I have invited others to have a meal, this is really...
When she regained consciousness, Ariel's fork was right in front of her eyes.She picked up the vegetables to feed Su.
"..." Su obviously didn't react.
Ariel was puzzled by Su's stiff reaction, she thought for a while and said, "Ah."
Su understood completely, and had to eat... Just after swallowing, he realized that Ariel was about to come to the second wave of feeding, so he hurriedly stopped her:
"You eat what you eat."
Ariel put down the fork in her hand and shook her head.
Su understood: "Have you been noticed? It's sharper than it looks."
"If you don't eat lunch, you won't have the energy to work in the afternoon."
"After all, I'm the one who invited you to lunch, so what's the point of making you hungry... And it turns out that I'm used to being hungry too, so it's okay if I don't eat a meal."
Seeing that Su was unwilling, Ariel simply took a direct attack and stretched the vegetables directly in front of Su.
"I heard from the housekeeper that you live in your own world, it's really..."
She said "ah" softly and softly.
"Really..." Su stared at the fork, finally sighed, and opened his mouth in compromise.
"Hey." Ariel's eyes were full of debris from the sun, shining brightly.
"Grandma said that three meals a day should not be disrupted, and you should eat a little bit."
Su frowned: "Well, that's your grandmother, not mine."
Ariel ignored it and continued the third wave of offensive.
"Uh, such a difficult personality."
"Another piece?"
"..."
"kindness?"
"……want."
I don't know when it started, the atmosphere of the lunch changed from a negotiation style to a picnic style, naturally.
Su put the lid on the cleaned lunch box, said with a headache, "This time, it's self-inflicted..."
Ariel looked at her puzzledly.
"Nothing, thank you."
"Thank you for...?"
"From then to today, it seems that there is no formal thank you, whether it is saving me or treating me with kindness, and today... today's thanks are a bit rushed, um, I will be fully prepared in the future."
Regarding the few pages that Ariel tore off, Su understood what they were, she couldn't feel relieved about this palace, and the palace was the same.
They were wary of each other, but it was different for her. She let go of her defenses and gave herself incredible and precious trust.
"There will be a next time in the future, right?" Ariel asked happily.
"Yes, Ariel." Su said with a smile.
With the beautiful garden and the clear sky, Su suddenly felt that such a noon was also very good.
Su said frankly: "In the beginning, I just wanted to stay in peace for such a period of time. Before I go back, I will spend it without any sense of existence. I don't know why they are hostile to humans, and I don't know why you I have a good impression of humans. To be precise, I don't want to know the reason for this...but today I found out that there seems to be no other way, and it has already been involved with you..."
"I don't understand." Ariel was confused again, "Then why did you change my address and promise next time?"
"Wait a minute," Su Mohan said, "Don't rush to express your thoughts, I haven't finished yet."
"You obviously missed the period yourself." Ariel said rarely showing dissatisfaction.
"No, I want to say that since there is no way to completely avoid it, then try not to go too deep. I guarantee that it doesn't matter if you ask me some questions on the shore or conduct observation and research on the human species."
"I always think this way of speaking is very strange." Ariel thought about it.
"It's not weird, it's very important. Don't get too close, or you will be sad when you leave..."
Ariel seemed to understand: "Isn't it aimed at personal contacts?"
"That's right, you understand to this extent."
"Okay." Ariel replied quite neatly.
"Then it's settled."
"En." Ariel's reaction was quite normal, as if answering an irrelevant question.
But then she nonchalantly threw out a rather shocking proposal:
"Then let's have lunch and dinner together."
Three black lines appeared on Su's forehead: "Do you really understand what I'm saying?"
Ariel recalled the entire conversation in detail, and after a long time: "Understood."
"Then what's the matter with your proposal?!"
"Question and observation time."
"Isn't this too much time?"
"If breakfast is included, it's too much..."
Su couldn't laugh or cry: "It was very reluctant from the beginning."
"The plant observers in our palace stay with the subjects day and night."
Su went crazy when she heard that, and her thoughts continued to diverge: "Then let's have lunch together, and have dinner when you have time."
"it is good."
Su added: "Well, I only eat with you... I'm a little scared of other mermaids..."
"En." Ariel nodded emphatically.
Seeing Ariel's clear eyes with no intentions, Su felt comforted in his heart, no matter what, the result of this lunch was pretty good, at least he expressed his gratitude.
"Enjoy your lunch," Sue finally said.
"Have a nice lunch." Ariel smiled sweetly.
The author has something to say:
Titles and synopses are more torturous than text...but it's weird not to write them...
You can guess whether there is an observation diary in Ariel's place~ But it seems that you don't need to guess...
