Chapter 105: Thoughts
Her hands in the clear river water were fair and moist, with even her nails rounded and charming. The water danced and swirled between her fingers...
Han Jiaojiao slowly lifted her hands out of the water, forming a relentlessly circulating sphere of water that wrapped around her hands like gloves made of water, magical and marvelous.
"Success!" Han Jiaojiao exclaimed with joy.
Hong Yun slowly let go of her hands, observing the elated smile on Han Jiaojiao’s face, her lively eyes curving into crescents, and her small, adorable dimples were still somewhat childlike. She looked like a white orchid blooming in the night, her whole being seemingly suffused with a sweet fragrance.
As if possessed, Hong Yun stood behind her and inhaled lightly. Whether it was psychological or not, she thought she really detected a faint, elusive scent...
Overjoyed, Han Jiaojiao turned around, holding up her hands in front of Hong Yun. The clear water flowed along her fair skin as she excitedly said, "Sister Hong, I did it! Look! I’ve drawn them onto my hands!"
"...Very good," Hong Yun said, coughing awkwardly, with a suspicious flush on her face. "This means your Ability can indeed manipulate water molecules. Let’s try something else."
"Okay!" Han Jiaojiao clenched her hands into light fists, then flung them open, and the water followed, cascading from her flung fingers with a whoosh. The water scattered into extremely fine droplets that ultimately disappeared into the air.
Brimming with happiness and excitement, Han Jiaojiao looked towards Hong Yun, bouncing as she asked, "What else shall we try?"
Hong Yun took one of her hands, leading her down from the rock. Her hands were small, with skin that was cool from just having been in the water, and from time to time, that sweet scent wafted over.
