The touch of the sea water was like a little puppy with its tongue out, gently licking Erii's toes. Erii instinctively shrank her feet back, but quickly put them back down. Even though the sea water was chillingly cold, the rush of excitement still flushed Erii's little face a bright red. Even when the tide completely swallowed her soles and reached her ankles, Erii's excitement did not wane in the slightest.
From slow, tentative steps, Erii progressed to a normal stroll in the sea water, until she gradually broke into a light jog. Lu Mingfei stayed right by Erii's side, holding her hand tightly. Looking at Erii's profile, Lu Mingfei finally saw something like "liveliness" and "vibrancy" in this girl for the very first time. It was no longer that dull, lifeless, icy detachment—it felt like accompanying a girl as she grew up, watching with his own eyes as she made contact with this world, her personality opening up and her life becoming brilliant.
This transformation brought a heartfelt sense of joy to Lu Mingfei.
