The webbed fingers caressed the soft, warm cheek as he lifted Ruan Li's chin.
"Ruan Li, do you still like me now?"
Ruan Li was slightly stunned, not just because of the question he asked, but more because she was acutely aware of the mermaid's beauty at this moment.
Even though his eyes coldly bore no emotional fluctuation, his blue eyes seemed like the tranquil deep sea, with ears like elves, and the gills on his cheeks seemed to accentuate his beauty.
A cold, smooth sensation came from her leg; the fish tail was entwining her, hooking her leg.
Ruan Li heard herself say inarticulately, "L-like."
The mermaid's calm eyes displayed evident delight.
Xi Han clumsily cupped Ruan Li's chin, his movements light and gentle, pecking her lips twice before raising his head to quietly look at her.
His gaze seemed to ask: Do you like this too?
Ruan Li was so entranced by his icy eyes that she nodded, completely unaware of a man's darkened complexion approaching from behind.
