Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 201 I'll send you off

"Hello, are you Jing Xiaoyu's father?"

On the phone, Jing Weichen's voice, tinged with some hesitation, came through.

Lu Lianbai paused noticeably for a moment. He immediately replied, "Yes, I am," and then asked, "Young Master Jing?"

Hearing the sound, Jing Weimian looked at him sharply. Then Lu Lianbai nodded to her and switched the bracelet's communication mode to speaker mode.

"...Dr. Lu? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Is it you, Dr. Lu? Is Jing Xiaoyu your child?"

"Yes," Lu Lianbai replied, then asked, "Is Jing Xiaoyu with you? Could you please have him answer the phone?"

"Hold on!"

A series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the phone, and Jing Weichen seemed to be saying something quickly in a low voice.

After a while, the communication screen, which was being interfered with by magnetic waves, shook, and the sweet and lovely voice that Lu Lianbai had been worried about for almost half a day rang out.

"dad."

Upon hearing this sound, Lu Lianbai immediately understood that Jing Xiaoyu had clearly been crying not long ago.

Although he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his emotional breakdown, the babyish voice calling him couldn't hide the fact that it had clearly been hoarse from crying.

In an instant, Lu Lianbai's heart clenched with a heavy pull.

He didn't press the little guy about the reasons for his escape at this crucial moment; he simply softened his tone:
"Baby, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

On the phone, Jing Xiaoyu's breathing, which had just calmed down, became uneven again, and she sobbed through clenched teeth, "Dad, I'm so sorry."

Lu Lianbai breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming the baby's safety, but he wasn't completely at ease. He patiently reassured the baby:

"It's okay, baby. Daddy will come pick you up and take you home right now."

"Xiaoyu doesn't want to go home..."

Hearing Jing Xiaoyu's sobbing voice become more severe, Lu Lianbai frowned.

Also worried about upsetting the little one, they had to change their approach to communication, "But Dad is very worried about the baby."

"Dad, don't worry, big brother... is very good..."

"Baby--"

Before Lu Lianbai could finish speaking, the communication screen changed again, and then Jing Weichen's voice came through in his ear once more:

“Dr. Lu, Xiaoyu is doing well with me. Right now... he seems to be resisting going home. He just kept telling me he didn't want to go home... I think if you force him to come and take him back now, it might backfire…”

"How about this, Dr. Lu, you let Xiaoyu stay with me for a day or two to calm down. Once he's calmed down, you can come and pick him up later."

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Lianbai rejected his suggestion without even thinking: "No way."

If Jing Xiaoyu were just an ordinary human being, Lu Lianbai might consider accepting this proposal.

But that's not the case. As a baby mermaid, Jing Xiaoyu faces extremely high risks when she's out alone. He can't take that risk and disregard Jing Xiaoyu's safety.

Thinking of this, Lu Lianbai then asked, "Young Master Jing, could you please tell me your exact location?"

"This one……"

Over there, Jing Weichen was facing a tearful baby in front of him, still hesitating whether to refuse or tell Lu Lianbai the truth.

After all, Lu Lianbai on the other end of the phone is the little guy's rightful guardian.

However, after only a few seconds of hesitation, a familiar, cold voice rang out from the other end of the phone, "Give me the phone."

Jing Weichen was dumbfounded. "Sister? What are you doing here?"

"In the military academy dormitory?" "Um... Oh no! Sis, what's wrong with you!"

"Keep an eye on the child, I'm coming over now."

After Jing Weimian finished speaking, she hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her car.

Lu Lianbai was stunned for a moment, then got into the car.

As soon as the car turned around and started moving, Jing Weimian looked straight ahead and asked expressionlessly, "Your child... also has the surname Jing?"

Upon hearing this cold question, Lu Lianbai's chaotic thoughts, which had not yet fully comprehended, instantly sank to freezing point. He adjusted his tone slightly and said calmly:
"If the general can't even accept that the baby has the same surname as you, I will take the baby to change the surname later."

"..."

Jing Weimian took a deep breath and finally turned to glance at him:
"I was just asking casually. Dr. Lu, you're overthinking things. I'm not so domineering as to not even allow your child to share my surname."

“Is that so?” Lu Lianbai said. “The general’s thoughts change every few days. I really can’t guess what he’s thinking.”

"I'm letting you off the hook because you just lost your child, so stop being sarcastic."

Lu Lianbai pursed his thin lips, turned his head slightly to look at the road rushing past the car window, and then fell silent.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at the military academy dormitory area.

Because it was General Jing who came, the school officials assumed he was there to secretly investigate matters related to the restricted area and dared not ask any further questions.

Jing Weimian took Lu Lianbai directly to the dormitory building, found Jing Weichen's dormitory, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Jing Weichen poked half of his body out.

Upon seeing Jing Weimian standing indifferently outside the door, he immediately straightened his back, then glanced at Lu Lianbai standing next to his sister, and waved with an awkward smile, "...Sis, you and Dr. Lu arrived so quickly!"

Lu Lianbai's gaze went past him, "Where's Xiaoyu?"

"I'll go get Xiaoyu right now..."

As he spoke, Jing Weichen opened the door completely and went to the inner room to call out.

The little fish, who had been sitting obediently on the sofa with his legs tucked in, was mentally prepared to be taken home by his father.

As soon as she put on her little backpack and walked out with Jing Weichen, she saw not only her father but also her mother coming towards her...

Jing Xiaoyu's bloodshot eyes widened in shock.

The memory of his mother telling his father that she didn't like him flashed through his mind, and he immediately shrank back behind his older brother, not daring to show his face to his mother.

Jing Weimian clearly saw that the little guy was obviously avoiding her actions, and for some reason, an indescribable feeling of suffocation welled up in her heart.

Was it because she took her anger out on the little one in the hospital room?
So the little guy is so afraid of himself now?
Jing Weimian realized that, for whatever reason, she couldn't quite accept the little guy's fear of her.

Just as she was thinking this, Lu Lianbai had already walked up behind Jing Weichen ahead of her.

He crouched down to check the little guy's body, whispered to him for a while, and then picked up the tiny little bundle of milk.

Jing Weimian stared as the little guy's round head buried in Lu Lianbai's neck.

Jing Xiaoyu gripped Lu Lianbai's collar with both hands in extreme anxiety. She didn't dare to talk to her like she did in the ward, and she didn't even dare to look up at her.

She heard Lu Lianbai thank Jing Weichen and say that he would express his gratitude in person later, and then she quickly left with the child in her arms.

Jing Weimian came to her senses and told her younger brother, "Call me later and explain."

He immediately started walking and chased after her.

He then called out to Lu Lianbai, who was holding the baby, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I'll take you back."
