A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Sunlight streamed through the window frames, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the wooden tables and chairs.

Su Aige, like a lazy kitten, casually crossed her legs on the chair.

With her head tilted back slightly, she enjoyed the warm and gentle sunlight.

......

The storytelling from downstairs, like a melodious tune, reached her ears.

But the voice seemed to possess a magical power.

Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she felt drowsy.

......

Just then, a soft call broke the silence:

"Xiao Ge, wake up! It's time for lunch!"

Guo Si's words flowed like a clear spring into Su Aige's dream.

......

She slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

The image of being entwined with the mermaid in my dream still lingers in my mind.

"you say……

Do merfolk really exist in this world?

Su Aige murmured to herself, her gaze somewhat unfocused as she looked at Guo Si.

......

Guo Si rarely saw Su Aige looking so adorable, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

After a moment's thought, he said truthfully:

"Maybe it really is."

Years ago, I visited the coastal areas where many legends about mermaids circulated.

It's a pity I never had the chance to see them in person.

At this point, he shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes.

......

"However, even if merfolk really exist,"

They probably wouldn't appear in an inland place like the capital, would they?

"After all, it's rumored that mermaids can't survive without water," Guo Si added.

......

Upon hearing this, Su Aige couldn't help but pout and mutter:

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Then, she gracefully went downstairs to the first floor.

......

Guo Si walked beside her, answering her questions earnestly.

"If the merfolk can come to land, I'm afraid they'll be..."

......

Looking at the person in front of her,

A man who takes even her casual questions so seriously

A sudden, irresistible impulse surged within Su Aige.

......

She quietly moved to Guo Si's side.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Wu was blocking the view of others,

She quickly lifted her veil, then stood on tiptoe.

He leaned forward and gently placed a light kiss on Guo Si's soft lips.

......

Guo Si's eyes widened instantly.

His mouth, which had been babbling on and on, seemed to have been frozen in place.

The opening and closing suddenly stopped.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his lips, which had just been kissed.

His lips involuntarily turned up, revealing a bright smile.

......

This was the first time Su Aige had ever acted so intimately towards him in public!

Guo Si felt as if she had a lively little rabbit jumping around in her heart, and her joy was beyond words.

......

Su Aige didn't want to see Guo Si and Xiao Wu continue to be stared at by the curious eyes of the other girls on the street.

So, around noon, she found a restaurant by the lake.

The three of them went into the restaurant and casually ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.

......

They chose a seat by the window and sat down.

You can enjoy delicious food while watching the light boats gliding leisurely across the lake.

Sunlight spills across the lake, creating shimmering waves, while a gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness.

The three of them raised their glasses in high spirits, took a small sip, and savored the moment of peace and tranquility.

......

However, as they finished their meal and stepped out of the restaurant,

Suddenly, a joyful shout rang out:

"My esteemed guest, is that you, my esteemed guest?"

Su Aige looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed in coarse cloth standing not far away.

The young man was tall and slender, looking at her with excitement, his hands waving unconsciously.

......

Su Aige first looked around,

After confirming that no one else was around, they turned their puzzled gaze back to the young man in front of them.

And asked with a slight hesitation:

Are you... talking to me?

.....

Yes, it's me!

"My esteemed guest, it's me, Xiaoliuzi!"

The young man was so excited he almost jumped up.

......

Upon hearing the name, she carefully examined the little willow in front of her, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Especially his dark eyes, which shone as brightly as stars in the night sky.

Although Xiaoliuzi was extremely thin at the moment, and was wearing only the roughest and cheapest linen clothes.

But he exuded a unique radiance.

Like tender buds breaking through the soil in spring, they are full of vitality.

This vitality and energy

This is extremely rare among people who live in a daze, like zombies.

This made Su Aige feel exceptionally comfortable.

......

at this time,

Su Aige almost blurted out, "How could you...?"

How come you are so good-looking?

......

When Su Aige was in Hezhou, she made a promise with Xiaoliu to meet again at the clinic.

However, as the days went by...

Su Aige never saw Xiao Liu again until she left.

Su Aige, who was thinking of the promise she made,

Left with no other choice, he left a letter with some money for the clinic owner.

She asked her boss to make sure to hand these things over to Xiaoliu if he came.

To Su Aige's utter surprise, Xiao Liu had actually tracked her all the way here!

......

When the two reunited, Su Aige was somewhat happy: "Did you see the letter I left for you?"

Xiaoliu replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

You're too kind, it makes me even more..."

At this point, Xiaoliu paused slightly.

It seems that he is going through a fierce internal struggle.

But she finally mustered the courage to continue, saying, "I'm even more determined now."

.......

However, the sight of Su Aige dressed as a woman made Xiao Liu suspicious.

I began to doubt the accuracy of my own memory.

If it weren't for the familiar Xiao Wu and Guo Si standing to the side, and their cautious and protective attitude towards Su Aige,

I'm afraid Xiaoliu wouldn't dare to go up and acknowledge her.

After all, who could have predicted that the benefactor they so desperately wanted to follow would be a woman?

Xiao Liu subconsciously turned her head to look at Guo Si, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

He originally thought... he originally thought...

However, reality completely exceeded his expectations.

......

Just then, Xiaoliu suddenly shouted:

"My lord, I, Xiao Liuzi, am willing to follow you for the rest of my life. Please accept me!"

That loud and firm voice, like a great bell, echoed through the air.

It attracted the attention of passersby.

......

Even though Su Aige isn't usually too thin-skinned,

Faced with this situation, one can't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.

So he quickly lowered his voice and gestured to Xiaoliu:

"Come home with me and we'll talk about it."

And where's your luggage?

Xiaoliu shook her head and answered truthfully, "I have no luggage."
