Little Captain [Fourth Love]

[4iiii] [Heartless, aloof beauty × obsessive puppy] - Jin Xia first meets Qiao Shiyuan in an oceanarium on the verge of closing down. In the unlit underwater tunnel, he turns around with his DSLR in hand and comes face-to-face with a mermaid. She smiles down at him from behind the glass. Her enormous tail sways gracefully with the movement of her waist, filling his entire field of vision. Qiao Shiyuan is his upperclassman, but her unusual kinks have made everyone keep their distance. She's a dangerous figure on campus, someone people are afraid even to talk about. Even he gets a warning from an older student: Don't go near Qiao Shiyuan. She's terrifying. But whether in his dreams or in class when his mind wanders, every time he closes his eyes, he sees that supple waist swaying and that phosphorescent, deep-blue tail. He assumes that whether she's good or evil, their paths will never cross. But one night, the beach is deserted. The sea and the starry sky meet in a hazy line on the horizon. Barefoot, she stands aboard a fishing boat, leaning against the railing as she smiles at him. "Xia, are you feeling down? Let me take you out to sea." Years later, as he steps back onto the deck, he suddenly remembers what his companion warned him long ago: "She's not a mermaid from a fairy tale. She's a mermaid from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you fall for her, you'll be doomed." If only he'd believed it back then. Next book: Don't Send [GB] Blurb: [Esports + female-led romance] IF has been at the bottom of the rankings for years.
