Instead of Douglas YoungAe, who only looked down at Aena with a stern face, I asked.
“It’s water!”
Aena lifted the glass bottle. As the sunlight coming in through the window passed through the bottle, it divided into a rainbow.
“When it catches the sunlight like this, it becomes incredibly beautiful.”
Aena again smiled shyly and handed the bottle to Douglas YoungAe.
“I hope you won’t be afraid of water when you see the beautiful water.”
“This piece of trash[Dash]!”
Douglas YoungAe’s sharp cry filled the classroom, and I felt the principal’s gaze sharpen from across the room.
I immediately signaled Eliza. A brief nod from Eliza, and she grabbed Douglas YoungAe’s hand as he was about to throw the bottle away, and covered his mouth.
“It’s not trash but a precious gift. Douglas Teacher says thank you very much.”
“Euh euh!”
I thanked Aena on behalf of the choking Douglas YoungAe.
Fortunately, the child seemed to believe my words.
“Yesterday I heard that Teacher was afraid of water and hadn’t washed for months. It really hurt my heart.”
The pure child looked up at Douglas YoungAe, almost with tears in her eyes. When Douglas YoungAe started coughing, Eliza let her go slightly.
“Who said I didn’t wash for months[Dash]. Euh euh!”
“Douglas Teacher says he was really touched that you were concerned about not washing for months.”
I patted Aena’s head.
“Everyone just avoided the Teacher, but Aena was the first to worry.”
Aena’s eyes widened in shock.
“The Teacher had no friends? That’s pitiful…….”
“Euh, euh, euh, euh!”
Somewhere, a vehement protest was heard, but Aena, deep in thought and unable to hear, clenched her fist and nodded resolutely.
“Don’t worry, Teacher.”
Aena cautiously held Douglas YoungAe’s hand. Douglas YoungAe twitched as if a bug had touched his hand, but he couldn’t pull it out because of Eliza’s firm grip.
Aena smiled broadly.
“I’ll be your friend, Teacher.”
(This is a time separator.)
“Teacher, Teacher. I brought some water. Please try it.”
“Teacher, Teacher. I’m going to water the flowers in the garden. Will you come with me?”
“Teacher, Teacher. This is juice I saved. I’ll give it to you.”
After that, Aena followed Douglas YoungAe around, handing him this and that. Each time, there was a sound of “Euh euh!” but as Douglas YoungAe grew tired, it gradually subsided.
When it was time to leave, Aena, without fail, went to Douglas YoungAe.
“Teacher, teacher. Are we going now?”
Douglas Youngae tried to frown but sneakily glanced at Eliza who was standing next to her like a gum on the wall.
As Eliza’s trapezius muscles twitched again, Douglas Youngae shivered slightly.
“Yes.”
Under Eliza’s watchful eyes, Douglas Youngae barely spat out a stiff word.
Aena’s shoulders drooped.
“You still seem to be afraid of water, teacher….”
Every time she handed over a gift, Aena firmly misinterpreted Douglas Youngae’s reaction as entirely due to hydrophobia.
Of course, I had no intention of correcting that misunderstanding.
“No—”
“Teacher!”
Aena suddenly grabbed Douglas Youngae’s hand.
“It’s okay if the teacher is afraid of water. Even if you don’t bathe for several months or even years and everyone says you smell, I won’t abandon you.”
Douglas Youngae tried to subtly pull her hand away but hesitated. Looking down at Aena, Douglas Youngae finally opened her mouth.
“Yes.”
It was still a careless answer, but it didn’t sound as stiff as before, and it wasn’t just my imagination. However, she soon firmly took her hand back.
“I don’t smell.”
Aena smiled broadly.
“You don’t need to be shy!”
Douglas Youngae furrowed her brow.
“I really don’t.”
“Yes, yes. I understand. Teacher doesn’t smell.”
With a look of exasperation, as if dealing with a tantrumthrowing child, Aena waved her hand.
“See you next week, teacher!”
Douglas Youngae’s brow was still deeply furrowed, but she nodded briefly.
“Yes.”
As Douglas Youngae got into the carriage, I smiled broadly at her.
“You worked hard today, Douglas Youngae.”
“Hmph, hard work, what’s that?”
As I handed over the box, even Douglas Youngae’s grumbling subsided.
“I look forward to next week. Can I have expectations?”
“Well, we’ll see.”
Douglas Youngae shrugged her shoulders, but she carefully took care of the box.
(This is a time separator.)
“So, did you handle today’s work well?”
Ramira Youngae, who had been waiting for Douglas Youngae at the sponsorship, asked as soon as she saw her.
“The principal surely warned you not to come again, didn’t he?”
As Ramira Youngae smiled mischievously, Douglas Youngae played with her hair with an ambiguous smile. Ramira Youngae’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“Is that not it?”
“That’s….”
“Speak clearly. Let’s not tire each other out.”
When Douglas Youngae trailed off, Ramira Youngae sharply pressed. Douglas Youngae’s eyebrows twitched, but Ramira Youngae didn’t seem to notice anything strange and crossed her arms.
“The princess’s maid came along, so it couldn’t be helped.”
When Douglas Youngae gave a stiff response, Ramira Youngae sighed briefly.
“You can’t even handle one maid…….”
“Yes?”
Ignoring Douglas Youngae’s question with an annoyed gesture, Ramira Youngae continued.
“I was planning to tell my father that Douglas’s Youngae has been a great help to me. It was a premature judgment.”
The words of Ramira Youngae, pinpointing the fact that the Douglas family was a vassal of the Ramira family, left Douglas Youngae speechless.
“Never mind. If we can’t stop the orphanage visit, we’ll have to handle the party ourselves.”
Ramira Youngae fell into thought for a moment.
“Rather, that might be better. It’s also an opportunity to thoroughly disgrace that commoner in front of people.”
Douglas Youngae fiddled with the box for a moment.
Having finished thinking, Ramira Youngae seemed to feel better and smiled.
“Douglas Youngae, you said you’ve taken on a student too, right?”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
