In order to make up for the living expenses during the one-year exchange period, Li Suining took a live-in part-time job: raising fish for others.
The constant-temperature water flows day and night, and silver dragons, arapaima, and stingrays swim slowly in the blue light and shadow. The whole pool is quiet and expensive.
Even more difficult to maintain than fish are their owners.
Twenty-one-year-old mixed-race, the youngest son of a state legislator, he is unruly and a bad breed.
When they met for the first time, Jin Siye was playing with a struggling baitfish. His blue eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her timid face without hesitation.
"New here?"
"It looks better than my fish."
Everyone said he was too good to her.
Take her for a ride, hold her drink at a noisy party, lean over to tie her shoelaces in public. Even her coat that smelled like someone else's cigarette would be thrown into the swimming pool on the spot by him with cold eyes, and then she would be wrapped up in his expensive private clothes.
Only she knew that he was mean, clingy, and had no boundaries.
He would block her in the fish room, and while he was teaching her how to change the filter material, he would stick up from behind, press her hand on the edge of the tank, and laugh so hard: "Why are you so unafraid of being bullied?"
"It becomes soft when touched."

After returning home, life returned to calm.
Until the night before the thesis defense, an unknown number sent a photo: In the fish tank, a scarlet arapaima fish was swimming against the glass.
She didn't reply, but the other party sent several pictures one after another.
Her school gate, the apartment downstairs where she lives, the coffee she just bought.
The last one.
"Fish don't recognize people anymore. Do you recognize them?"
She instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Jin Siye admitted that he had a bad temper and was possessive, not like a good person.
But she's not that innocent either.
It was she who looked at him first with those wet eyes, it was she who shed tears first after being bullied, and it was she who was hugged back by him again and again even though she was clearly afraid of him.
So how could she run.
How could you leave him without a word and leave him in the madly quiet water of the whole room.
He looked at the lighted window upstairs, lowered his head and smiled, and slowly typed out a line of words:
"Baby, open the door."
"I didn't even bother to feed the fish while you were away."
"I just want to feed you."
Purpose: For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away
