It was their first meeting, yet Shui Se reached out to the new keeper for help, begging her to take him away from the cramped pool.
As if enchanted, Song Xiu ignored the obstacles, picked up the Merman by the waist, and brought him back to the bathtub in her dorm.

“I’m hurt.”
“I’m tricking you! I like you the most.”
