“That’s right, yes. Then it’s good. Even if you don’t come here, you can give a gift to your mother every day.”

“Gift……?”

Nia, who had been sullen all along, met the principal’s eyes as she raised her head at his words.

“Yes, a gift. There’s one person in the world, you know, who treasures your story like treasure.”

“……?”

“It’s Mom.”

At the word “Mom,” the child looked to Lucia.

She seemed to want to see how she reacted to the principal’s words.

Fortunately, Lucia nodded at the right moment.

Then Nia seemed to be reassured, and once again listened to what the principal was saying.

“So if you tell Ivanne what you ate, what you played with, and what you learned, every day, your mother will feel very, very good, so it’s like receiving a gift.”

“……Really? Every day. Can I talk about it?”

“Sure. There’s no mother who doesn’t like her daughter’s stories. So you can talk a lot.”

Lucia looked at her, and a phrase from the book came to mind.

An introverted child is not without words, but full inside. There are stories they want to tell. You have to give such a child the courage to speak.

Was Nia also such a child?

Then was there a reason she wanted to come here and a reason she didn’t want to?

Lucia felt something new in the child’s complex inner feelings.
At the principal’s words, Nia’s cheeks rose with a full smile, and Lucia saw the sincere affection in Principal Norzia’s eyes towards Nia’s smile.

And thought.

Even if she passes and attends, if the child struggles in the middle, she can quit.

Adapting here isn’t the only way to live ordinarily.

But if Nia can smile as brightly as she does now, being entrusted in a place with this guidance, Lucia thought it would be good if she passed.

The interview time was over with the muchbrightened Nia, and it was when they were about to head outside.

“Nia has passed.”

At the unexpected words, Lucia turned and looked at her.

“……Wasn’t the passing result to be announced a month later?”

“If such a lovable child doesn’t attend here, who will? Hohoho.”

The principal stroked Nia’s small head, and spoke, jokingly laughing.

“I’m sorry for speaking like a joke. Actually, I have my own bias.”

“……Yes?”

“Oh, that doesn’t mean it’s unfair. Teacher Emily is busy, so I had no choice but to decide on my own. And……. ”

Choosing the successful applicants is a consultation with the principal and the teachers present.

Was this the reason why she chose Teacher Emily?

Unaware of such suspicion, Lucia still waited to open her mouth at the principal’s unknown intention.

“My foolish son has been a nuisance.”

Ah, now she understood.

Was it about the gifts? It must be impossible not to know.

Still, quite thoughtful, she seems to know that her son’s behavior is foolish……

“It’s been a long time since I saw him……. but I always support my son’s choices. I hope you become good friends with my son. Since we’ll see each other every day, I think it would be nice to treat each other like family. Hohoho!”

“……?”

Did she hear that correctly?

Like family……. not like family?

Even knowing that they were already naturally linked in a notsogood rival relationship, she talks about a good relationship.

‘She’s stranger than I thought.’

Lucia had no reason to know that she was just a mother who wanted to help her son’s love life.

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.”
