We met in Sea City——
People say that everything has animism.
Legends grow quietly over time, either from nature, from the experiences of travelers, or simply from imagination. The same goes for mermaid stories.
Leng Nian is my mermaid.
He has been with me for twelve full years, and his appearance has not changed a bit.
He will accompany me and quietly weave it into the rings of my life.
I am still in the water, guarding the light that belongs only to him.
