Xi felt his face start to burn again. No, his whole body was burning up. He stood rigidly, letting her move him.
"When you shoot, you need to relax your body. Don't be so stiff, or you won't shoot well. And don't grip the string so tightly. Try to use your thumb or three fingers to apply force." An Jin taught him earnestly, correcting Xi's mistakes one by one.
"Do you understand?"
She couldn't help but look up at him.
A large shadow fell over her, and only then did An Jin realize just how tall Xi had grown.
'In my mind, I've always thought of him as a little sister… ah, no, a little brother!'
Although he seemed to be older than her, Xi's lively and adorable personality always made An Jin feel like he was a big kid who hadn't grown up, someone who needed more of her love and care.
In that fleeting moment, she had a sudden realization.
—Xi was an adult Merfolk now.
