Shen Qinghan is leaking water?

Witnessing the scene before him, Lin Zichen couldn't help but widen his eyes in sheer disbelief.

Although he had always staunchly claimed that Shen Qinghan possessed supernatural abilities, his main intention was to comfort her, to keep her from giving up on herself.

As for whether Shen Qinghan truly had any water-related superpowers, he himself wasn't quite certain.

Yet now, to his surprise, Shen Qinghan was indeed displaying a spectacle of her superpowers!

Water passing directly through her body—if this wasn't a superpower, what was it?

"Zi Chen, it's so strange. Why are my hands leaking water?"

Shen Qinghan swam over to Lin Zichen, placing her water-leaking, delicate jade hands in front of him, her expression somewhat at a loss.

Stabilizing his emotions, Lin Zichen asked, "Besides being permeable to water, do you feel any other changes in your body?"

Shen Qinghan shook her head and said, "No, I've only discovered that my hands can be penetrated by water; I haven't noticed any other changes for now."

Just the hands being penetrated?

Thinking this, Lin Zichen quickly asked, "What does it feel like to be penetrated by water?"

Shen Qinghan gave it some thought, and after organizing her words mentally, she replied, "How should I put it? It feels like my hands have melded into the water, becoming part of it. Then there's the sensation of not feeling the water's resistance, making movements in the water even more agile."

Lin Zichen pondered for a moment, then looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "Give me your hand to have a look."

Shen Qinghan obediently stretched out her hand—her right hand.

Lin Zichen took her offered hand, examining it closely in his own.

The fingers were slender and long, the skin fair and supple, soft to the touch, and overall felt exceptionally pleasant; her hand was very delicate.

It was natural beauty, unaided by any care or maintenance, a genetic advantage she was born with, capable of being passed down through generations.

With Shen Qinghan's hand alone, she could become a hand model for advertisements—not only for promoting rings, bracelets, nail art, nail polish, etc.; the effect would certainly be outstanding.

However, Lin Zichen wasn't in the mood to appreciate how beautiful Shen Qinghan's hands were at the moment.

Instead, he used her hand to conduct an experiment, asking her to scoop up some water to observe how it flowed through her palm and back into the pool.

He then noticed that the water would linger in her palm for a moment before quickly seeping through and falling back into the pool.

Throughout this process, the water vanished rapidly, as if the plug in the basin had been pulled, draining away instantly.

After observing this several times, Lin Zichen didn't come across any useful information.

So, he turned his attention to studying Shen Qinghan's palm.

First looking, then touching, and finally, poking.

Throughout the process, Shen Qinghan's palm tickled, creating an uncomfortable sensation, but seeing how focused Lin Zichen was studying, she endured without moving, allowing him to continue his examination.

After a thorough study, Lin Zichen found Shen Qinghan's palm to be quite normal.

Besides the water permeating through it, everything else—be it touch, temperature, color, or any other characteristic—seemed no different from an ordinary person's.

"Is it only your hands that the water can penetrate?"

"Yes, it's only my hands that feel unusual."

"Come on, let's go up. I'll give you a thorough check to see if there's any other part of you that can be penetrated by water."

"Okay."

With a brief exchange of words, they quickly swam ashore together.

Lin Zichen fetched several chairs, pushed them together, and had Shen Qinghan lie on them for a body examination.

Afterward, he took out a water bottle from his backpack, filled it with water, and slowly poured it over Shen Qinghan's body to see if there were any other areas that water could penetrate.

Becoming the subject of Lin Zichen's close scrutiny, Shen Qinghan's face turned completely red. She promptly closed her eyes to divert her attention, appearing shy and embarrassed.

Lin Zichen paid no attention to these details, focusing all his attention on investigating the superpower.

About ten minutes later.

```

The inspection is over.

It was conducted three times in total.

The final conclusion is that only Shen Qinghan's hands can be penetrated by water; all other parts of her body are normal.

"Xiao Chen, did you figure anything out?"

Soaked through, Shen Qinghan rose from the chair and looked at Lin Zichen with anticipation.

Lin Zichen shook his head, "For now, apart from knowing that your hands can be penetrated by water, I know nothing else."

"I see..."

Unable to obtain the desired answer, Shen Qinghan felt a little disappointed.

Lin Zichen comforted her in a gentle voice, "It's okay, there's plenty of time in the future. We can take our time to study it, there's no need to rush."

"That's true."

Shen Qinghan's beautiful eyes curved into a sweet smile, "Regardless, at least I'm now certain that I do have superpowers, even if they're not fully unearthed yet."

After saying this, she thought of something, her cheeks flushed a faint red as she lowered her head to play with her fingers. Then, hesitating for a moment, she said in an embarrassed tone,

"Xiao Chen, do you think the reason I've always wet the bed since I was little could be because some places in my body, like my hands now, can't hold water and it leaks out..."

"If nothing unexpected, that's probably the reason."

Having said that, Lin Zichen added, "Next time you're in a hurry to pee and feel like you can't hold it, you can study it yourself and see if some parts of your body feel the same as your hands do now."

Actually, what he had wanted to say was, remember to notify me when you're in a hurry to pee next time, and I'll come and study it.

But before he spoke, he realized that these words seemed quite inappropriate, something a pervert might say, so he swallowed them and changed his statement to what he had just said.

Even then, Shen Qinghan across from him blushed, finding the topic awkward.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, what should I do with my hands now?"

Looking at her leaking hands, Shen Qinghan couldn't help but show a trace of worry on her face.

Lin Zichen soothed, "Don't worry, it's no big deal. I think this situation with your hands isn't permanent, and they will probably go back to normal soon."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be the first time you've encountered this at your age."

After saying this, he continued, "Once your superpowers develop further in the future, you should be able to control whether your body is permeable to water or not, just like those superpowered individuals in movies who can elementalize and materialize at will, turn to water when entering it and become human when leaving it."

"That sounds amazing."

Shen Qinghan's eyes were filled with anticipation, eager for the day to arrive.

At this moment, Lin Zichen asked, "By the way, when you were walking at the bottom of the pool just now, did you do anything you usually don't do?"

After asking, he added an explanation, "I think the reason why your hands are like this now might be because you did something special at that time."

Shen Qinghan thought back carefully.

A moment later, she said with certainty, "I didn't do anything special. I was just walking, and suddenly I felt a strange sensation in my hands, and then I saw water passing through them."

Lin Zichen nodded after hearing this and did not say anything more.

In the time that followed, the two of them practiced their water skills in the pool, while discussing the topic of superpowers.

They fantasized about all kinds of possibilities based on the movies, TV series, or comics and novels they had seen, such as water mages, Water Elementalists, Water Sprites, Water Gods, and even cultivators with a water spirit root, and so on.

During these talks, Shen Qinghan was excited throughout, her face rosy with enthusiasm.

After so many years, she finally confirmed that she wasn't a useless girl; she was a superpowered individual with a connection to water.

She thought, once she had fully developed her superpowers, surely no one would call her a maid of Lin Zichen anymore.

Rather, people would say, they were a well-matched couple, predestined by heaven, a pair of unmatched heroes.
