When the waiter saw An Jin, he greeted him and went out: "Hello, please, what would you like to eat?"
An Jin turned his head and looked at Norman with bright eyes.
The waiter followed his gaze and said with a smile, "It turned out to be a friend of Team Tang. I don't know what kind of dishes I like? I can help recommend it."
Norman: "First order the braised fish nuggets, and see the menu for the rest."
He walked to the boy's side, his sleeve was pulled by the boy.
An Jin pointed to the braised fish nuggets at the nearest table with a look of anticipation.
A smile flashed in Norman's eyes: "It's already ordered."
An Jin embarrassedly pursed his lower lip, silently wrote down the name of the dish, followed Norman to the vacant seat in the corner, and the two sat down side by side.
Norman opened the electronic menu on the table: "Order what you want to eat."
Worried that the young man would not understand, he pointed to pictures of various dishes.
An Jin's eyes lit up when he saw the picture.
When he makes money, he must invite Norman back!
He didn't order unfamiliar dishes. He ordered steamed fish, spicy lobster, and scrambled eggs with tomato. Thinking that there were only two people, he didn't continue to order, and pushed the screen towards Norman.
Norman added another serving of star beast meat and one soup, and clicked OK.
He asked the boy again: "How did you learn Interstellar language?"
At this time, someone at the next table said loudly: "Boss, let's have another boiled pork slice, it's delicious!"
An Jin turned his head and looked back at Norman: "Delicious!"
Even the tone is very similar to that person's.
An Jin thought to himself that it seemed reasonable for him to speak when he entered the holographic world for the first time. The best way was to let Norman know that he had a strong ability to learn to speak.
Norman asked this question twice, but the boy didn't answer. He couldn't help guessing that the boy didn't understand.
However, judging from the reaction of the teenager, it is very likely that he heard it and learned it.
Norman looked at the boy. The boy was sitting on a chair with both hands on the table. He was obedient and smart, staring straight at the promotional menu on the table. Even though he looked ordinary, he looked innocent and cute.
If the little mermaid hadn't entered the holographic world with him, he would never have thought that the boy was actually a mermaid when he saw the boy.
An Jin noticed his scrutinizing eyes, turned his head to look at him, his head turned slightly to the right, expressing doubts.
Norman suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why don't you like that tavern?"
An Jin's cheeks bulged, and the two hands on the table folded and shook it gently, explaining the main situation and making sure that he had heard every word.
"Someone, want to touch my hand."
He hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to explain what happened later, after all, it was a long paragraph.
As the little mermaid entering the holographic world for the second time, the language ability should not be so strong,
He said these words intermittently, but every word was accurate.
Norman understood almost immediately what was going on.
The little mermaid has no money and cannot change its image when entering the holographic world, and the appearance of the little mermaid itself is very delicate.
He is very aware of the virtues of some people in the holographic world.
He frowned suddenly: "Do you remember ID?"
The appearance of the holographic world can be changed, but the ID will not. Everyone will have a unique ID on their wrist.
An Jin blinked and looked blank: What is ID
Norman grabbed his left hand, turned his wrist, and there was a string of numbers: "This is your ID."
An Jin was surprised, but he didn't pay attention.
Seeing this, Norman stopped asking. The little mermaid obviously didn't remember it.
He pushed his hand a little harder, and when the little mermaid looked up at him, he said solemnly, "If someone touches you in the future, hit him!"
As he spoke, he glanced down at the little mermaid's slender fingers. The nails were round and pink, and they had no offensive power at first glance.
His eyes continued to move down and landed on the little mermaid's feet.
I don't know if the power has changed after the tail has been turned into legs, and whether it can beat others.
He let go of the boy's hand, moved the chair to the side, opened the distance between the two, then stretched out his right leg and placed it not far in front of the boy.
He looked at the boy: "You kick me."
An Jin:
Seeing that the boy stayed still, Norman kicked his right foot with his left foot: "Kick."
He pointed to the boy's right foot, and then to his own: "You kick me."
An Jin made sure that he heard it right just now, and kicked lightly at his request, feeling that he had hit an iron plate.
Norman: "Strength." He patted the table lightly, then increased his strength. "Strength."
An Jin looked at him, his eyes suddenly curved into a crescent shape, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Although Norman always looks serious, he is actually more careful than many people.
Since he knew Norman, Norman has always used his actions to make him understand all kinds of meanings, just like now.
The appearance of a serious demonstration made him feel warm and cute.
Seeing that the boy suddenly laughed, Norman glanced at the table, patted it again, and made a thumping sound: "Like it?"
Seeing his misunderstanding, An Jin shook his head: "No," he pointed to Norman's foot, "Kick?"
Norman nodded: "Strength."
An Jin first tried to kick with a little force, but Norman's feet didn't move at all. Norman asked him to use the greatest strength.
An Jin took a deep breath and kicked Norman's right foot violently, colliding with each other, making a dull thud.
Norman's foot was knocked back a little, An Jin's foot was brought forward, because of the force, his body was also carried forward by inertia, and he fell forward.
The whole process only took a second. An Jin was completely unprepared, unable to stabilize his body, and subconsciously closed his eyes to welcome the pain.
Norman grabbed the young man with his long hands and lightly grabbed the young man. Looking down, the young man closed his eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
The mermaid form is equally timid.
An Jin opened his eyes and saw that he was hugging Norman's arm, almost hanging on Norman's arm, his face flushed red, he quickly let go, and took a step back.
As soon as he moved, the pain in the front bone of the calf came: "Hi..."
He took a breath, and his eyes immediately became misty.
Before the end of the world, he was a pampered young master and was especially afraid of pain, but his parents didn't like him to cry, and he was not squeamish in character. He rarely cried, but he couldn't control his physical tears.
He hurriedly looked at Norman's leg, and his voice became even softer: "Does it hurt?"
He really didn't expect that his feet were so powerful that he could kick Norman.
He was in so much pain, and Norman was probably not feeling well either.
Norman was stunned. He had suffered countless injuries in training and competitions since middle school, and no one had ever asked him that.
He looked at the boy's reddish eyes with obvious worry, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "It doesn't hurt."
He grabbed the slender waist of the young man with both hands, lifted him up easily, and put it back on the seat gently.
Before An Jin could react, he sat down on the chair again.
He looked up at Norman who was like a hill in front of him, and suddenly understood Norman's aesthetics.
He pointed to Norman and then to himself: "Can it be the same?"
"Okay," Norman squatted down and rolled up the boy's trousers, "but the strength and endurance are up to me."
The little mermaid's tail is turned into a foot, which is very powerful, but still squeamish.
An Jin felt a warm touch on his feet, he felt a little itchy, he shrank his feet unconsciously, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Before the apocalypse, except for Zhang's mother and the gardener's grandpa, he seldom had close contact with people. After the apocalypse, everyone was more vigilant and kept their distance.
He didn't feel comfortable, especially with Norman's presence.
Norman lightly pressed his leg bone, making sure it was not broken, and comforted: "Small injury, it will be healed soon."
If it's too serious, he'll have to take the little mermaid off the assembly line.
In addition to the serious trauma of the spiritual sea, the physical injury and the loss of the spiritual sea, the holographic world will automatically recover after going offline, and does not affect the actual physical condition.
Norman got up and said seriously to the boy, "You will kick anyone who touches you in the future. If you don't win, you will be offline."
He said, and taught the little mermaid how to get off the assembly line.
Only then did An Jin realize that on his panel, Norman's position was a small blue dot, and there was a 'parent' sign.
An Jin: ... It seems to be better than the master.
"Are you ready to serve?" the waiter came over and asked.
Norman nodded, he bent down, lifted the boy lightly, put the boy on his left arm, and walked to the left.
An Jin hurriedly supported his shoulder, his eyes glued to the table: "Eat!"
He was in a hurry, and the waiters started to serve the dishes. Wouldn't Norman take him out of the holographic world because of his injury
He hadn't had a good meal in more than two years, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity at all!
Norman chuckled softly, because his voice was low and magnetic: "Don't worry."
He walked to the sink in the left corner and put the boy down: "Follow me."
He reached under the thin tube on the wall, and a second later, a drop of hand sanitizer fell into his palm.
An Jin did as he did, and then learned that he put his hand under the faucet to pick up some water, rubbed his palms, washed his hands carefully, rinsed them, and dried them.
Norman's attention has been on the boy. The boy has the most ordinary face and imitates his movements earnestly, which makes him feel cute for no reason.
He praised: "An An is really smart."
An Jin was a little embarrassed, he was not a real mermaid, and he would feel guilty when he was praised like this.
When the two returned to the table, An Jin was immediately attracted by the dishes on the table.
The braised fish pieces were cooked very well, the thickened juice on the surface was red and shiny, and the spicy lobster was also a big bowl of red.
He swallowed silently and turned to look at Norman.
Norman picked up the chopsticks and handed him a pair: "Learn from me."
The speed of An Jin's learning once again surprised Norman. In less than two minutes, he would be able to use chopsticks.
An Jin was very happy to eat. Although every dish had a slight bitter taste due to impurities, the seasonings and dishes had a strong taste, and the bitter taste of the impurities was directly ignored by him.
Compared with the food of the last days, and the food without any seasoning before, it is already very delicious.
He stopped eating until he couldn't eat it at all, and felt his bulging stomach, secretly regretting that he was not the king of big stomachs.
Thinking that he could come to the holographic world in the future, he was happy again.
Seeing his satisfied face, Norman asked, "Like it?"
An Jin nodded quickly: "Delicious!"
"What else do you want to do?" Norman asked.
An Jin still felt pain in his feet, did not want to walk, and shook his head.
Norman chose to go offline, the scene before the two of them changed at the same time, and they returned to the bathroom.
Norman took off the helmet, and helped the little mermaid take it off, and handed it to the robot beside him.
An Jin quickly stretched out his hand: "Ah!" He will enter the holographic world in the future.
Norman looked at him: "Ann."
An Jin blinked and tilted his head: "Huh?"
He is not ready to expose the fact that he can speak in reality for the time being, he has to observe Norman's next actions first.
Norman knows that he can speak Interstellar language in the holographic world, will people study him out of curiosity
An Jin couldn't help being a little nervous.
Norman looked at the little mermaid's reaction and thought, doesn't the mermaid form speak interstellar language
Can you understand then
