It's Okay

In Qian Huanyue's words, if you wanted to get along well with others, you had to place yourself on equal footing with them.

"Before trying to please others, you have to learn to love yourself first."

Qian Huanyue herself was a bit of a mess in that regard,

but she was still fairly confident she was better at it than Rinne.

Both in her memories and in her current impression, Rinne had always leaned toward caring for others, so gentle she was like the girl next door's big sister.

First stop: the aquarium.

It was Huanyue's first time here, and her sparkling eyes followed a plump pufferfish.

Rinne's slightly widened eyes and her utterly defenseless expression in that instant were all captured on the small screen.

"Ah—" Rinne let out a soft cry before finally reacting, looking at Huanyue's especially sly expression.

She put on an adorable, gentle expression, reached out to lightly hook one arm around Huanyue's, and adjusted her posture so they were closer, more intimate.

"Then let's take another one, Huanyue-chan," Rinne said gently.

Qian Huanyue naturally did not refuse.

Click! Click! Click—!

They took several photos.

"How are they?" She cheerfully opened the album and leaned in front of Rinne, swiping through them one by one.

On the screen, the two girls smiled against a watery blue backdrop.

"Ahaha," Rinne could not help laughing
