Chu Xici helped Yege bring the small fish tank to her room.

Speaking of which, Yege’s room was already filled with plush toys he had won from the claw machine, and now there were two more living creatures; she definitely had to make some room, right?

So, Yege rushed to tidy up her small bookshelf and finally cleared a suitable space.

Chu Xici placed the small fish tank neatly on it, just right!

Yege looked at the two little fish, her heart feeling sweet.

The shop owner just mentioned, kissing fish actually kiss as a form of struggle.

When two kissing fish meet, they both extend their long, saw-toothed mouths and forcefully collide, as if lovers "kissing", staying connected for a long time.

They engage in this intimate form of struggle, which compels one to concede.

Having seen kissing fish for the first time, Yege found it fascinating and watched them for quite some time without growing tired. Chu Xici stood beside her, accompanying her.

However, his gaze was not on the two fish, but on Yege.

This little girl...

Now, watching her, she appeared carefree and cheerful.

She actually got him to accompany her to buy these fish...

It seems that the memories of that night are only his!

Deeply buried in his heart, recalling them brings such sweetness, yet with a faint touch of sadness.

At this moment, Yege suddenly spoke up.

"Look, look, that big one keeps retreating!"

Yege was excited, pointing at the fish in the tank.

"Look, it’s already retreated to the very edge of the tank, there’s nowhere left to go!"

Chu Xici looked into the fish tank and, upon closer inspection, it was indeed so.

The slightly larger fish kept backing away, while the smaller one swam triumphantly like a victorious general, wagging its tail as if boasting or parading.

Yege couldn’t help but chuckle.

Chu Xici also started to laugh.

People say that wherever there are people, there’s a society, and now this saying fits these two kissing fish quite well.

Wherever there are fish, there’s a society.

In such a small fish tank, those two are still putting up a fight!

Chu Xici looked at the two little fish, smiling as he said:

"I bet the smaller one is female, and the larger one is male!"

Yege raised her eyebrows, looking up at Chu Xici’s face and asked, "Why do you think that?"

Chu Xici’s gaze deepened.

"For these two fish to coexist in a space, if they keep fighting endlessly, they’ll both end up losing. One must concede for peace. The larger kissing fish is smart, it’s been retreating! Seems like it’s protecting the smaller one! So, that larger one must be a gentleman!"

Instantly, Yege’s heart fluttered.

One male, one female?

Knowing to concede?

A gentleman?

For some reason, in Yege’s mind, those two fish suddenly took on the semblance of herself and Chu Xici! Her face immediately started to warm.

Uh... she quickly shook her head.

Silly, why think of such things!

Chu Xici looked at her blushing face, inexplicably in a good mood, and reached out to pat her head, saying, "Alright, you keep admiring your little fish, I’ll head out now!"

"Oh!"

Yege nodded, leaning against her desk, accidentally knocking her backpack down.

With a splash, the contents of the backpack fell out.

Chu Xici bent down to help her pick up the items and ended up seeing a box of Dove chocolates exposed.
