[Secret identity reveal / male secret crush / older woman-younger man, three-year age gap]
[Gentle marine veterinarian x wolfish competitive swimmer]
Ruan Yang had a movie buddy. They met on the day she was cheated on, when he left a comment beneath her late-night post about feeling down.
One day, she went to a preview screening of Interview with the Vampire and gushed to White about how handsome the two leading men were.
White: So which one do you like more?
Xiaoyang: Obviously, I'm more into Pitt's body.
That night, a photo appeared in White's otherwise blank profile: clearly defined eight-pack abs, and a small red mole on a full chest.
Ding Yibai was a famous figure at school. A national-level athlete with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he had captured countless hearts as soon as he arrived.
Ruan Yang, who was interning at an aquarium, never expected she'd get him to play a mermaid. She couldn't wait to share the good news with White.
White: Oh, aren't you going to treat him to a meal?
Xiaoyang: Girls who want to ask him out have to get in line.
The truth was, he was so handsome that she felt he was out of her league.
Soon, the usually arrogant Ding Yibai asked her to dinner out of the blue and even walked her home.
Once home, she eagerly told White: Everyone says he's hard to get along with, but he turned out to be really nice!
White: How does he compare to Pitt?
Later, the scumbag who'd cheated on Ruan Yang asked to meet up and reminisce. She messaged Write: What should I do? My ex wants to get back together.
At dusk, Ruan Yang saw her ex waiting outside and didn't know how to react.
Suddenly, a tall, solid body pressed her against the door. She caught the fresh scent of sea salt. "Wrap your arms around my waist and shoulders."
After her ex left, Ruan Yang let out a sigh of relief. "What a coincidence. Weren't you supposed to be at training?"
"Don't get back together with him, okay?"
Ding Yibai's hair was still damp, his breath hot. "Didn't you say you wanted my body, sis? Wouldn't a merman do?"
She glanced down and saw a small mole through his collar, so red it looked ready to drip blood.
