Shen Qinghan was leaking water?

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but widen his eyes, utterly astonished.

Although he had confidently declared before that Shen Qinghan had a superpower, that was mostly to comfort her and stop her from losing confidence in herself.

As for whether she truly possessed water-related abilities, even he wasn’t sure.

But now, Shen Qinghan was actually showing a real manifestation of a superpower!

Water could pass directly through her body—if that wasn’t a superpower, what else could it be?

“Xiao Chen, this is weird, why is water leaking from my hands?”

Shen Qinghan swam over to him, placing her delicate, water-leaking hands before him with a puzzled expression.

Lin Zichen steadied himself and asked, “Other than being able to be penetrated by water, do you feel any other changes in your body?”

Shen Qinghan shook her head, “No, right now I’ve only found that my hands can be penetrated by water. Apart from that, nothing else seems different.”

‘Only her hands?’

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

Shen Qinghan thought for a moment, then answered, “How do I put it… it feels like my hands are merging with the water, becoming part of it. I can’t feel the resistance of water and my movements are more fluid.”

Lin Zichen pondered for a bit, then said, “Let me see your hands.”

Shen Qinghan obediently extended her right hand.

Lin Zichen took her hand carefully, examining it closely.

Her fingers were long and slender, her skin smooth and pale, soft to the touch with an elegant shape.

It was all natural, untouched by cosmetics or maintenance—a genetic blessing that could be passed down for generations.

Just that hand alone could model rings, bracelets, manicures, or nail polish advertisements with perfect effect.

But Lin Zichen wasn’t in the mood to admire her beauty.

He started conducting experiments with her hand, having her scoop water to see how it passed through her palm.

He noticed that water lingered briefly on her palm before quickly slipping through, back into the pool, like a drain plug had been pulled.

After observing several times, Lin Zichen found nothing conclusive.

So he began studying her palms further—first looking, then touching, then poking.

Shen Qinghan’s palms itched from the process, making her uncomfortable, but seeing how focused Lin Zichen was, she endured it quietly.

After a detailed examination, Lin Zichen found her palms to be completely normal.

Aside from water being able to pass through, everything else—texture, temperature, color—was no different from an ordinary person.

“Only your hands can be penetrated by water?”

“Mm, only my hands feel different.”

“Let’s go up. I’ll help check your body to see if any other part reacts the same way.”

“Okay.”

After a short exchange, they swam to the edge and climbed out.

Lin Zichen pushed several chairs together and had Shen Qinghan lie down for inspection.

He then took a water bottle from his bag, filled it and poured it slowly over her body, observing if any other part could be penetrated by water.

With him watching her body so closely, Shen Qinghan’s face turned bright red. She quickly closed her eyes, trying to think of anything else, looking adorably shy.

Lin Zichen, however, was fully focused on the experiment.

* * *

After about ten minutes and three full rounds of inspection, the conclusion was clear—only Shen Qinghan’s hands could be penetrated by water. Everything else was normal.

“Xiao Chen, did you find anything?”

Dripping wet, Shen Qinghan sat up and looked at him expectantly.

Lin Zichen shook his head, “For now, all I know is that your hands can be penetrated by water. That’s it.”

“I see…”

Disappointed by the lack of results, Shen Qinghan sighed.

Lin Zichen comforted her gently, “It’s fine. We’ve got plenty of time to study this slowly, no need to rush.”

“You’re right.”

Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly, “At least we’ve confirmed that I really do have a superpower, even if it’s not fully developed yet.”

After saying that, she hesitated, her cheeks turning red as she fiddled with her fingers.

“Xiao Chen… do you think the reason I’ve never been able to hold my pee since I was little is because, um… certain parts of my body are like my hands—unable to hold water, so it just leaks out?”

“Most likely, yes.”

After a pause, Lin Zichen added, “Next time you really need to go and can’t hold it, pay attention to how it feels. See if any part of your body has the same sensation as your hands.”

He had actually wanted to say, Next time that happens, call me and I’ll help you study it, but that sounded way too perverted, so he swallowed it down and went with the safer version.

Even so, Shen Qinghan blushed hard, finding the topic very embarrassing.

“By the way, Xiao Chen, what should I do about my hands?”

Looking at her water-leaking hands, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but worry.

Lin Zichen reassured her, “Don’t worry. This shouldn’t be permanent—it’ll likely return to normal soon. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone your whole life without this happening before.”

He added, “Once you develop your superpower further, you should be able to consciously control whether your body lets water through or not. Like those people in movies—you’ll be able to switch between elemental and physical states, turning into water in water and human again outside it.”

“That sounds amazing.”

Shen Qinghan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, eager for that day to come.

Then Lin Zichen asked, “When you were walking at the bottom of the pool earlier, did you do anything out of the ordinary? I mean, I think your hands started acting like this because of something you did at that moment.”

Shen Qinghan thought carefully.

After a moment, she said confidently, “No, I didn’t do anything special. I was just walking, then suddenly my hands felt strange and I noticed water passing through them.”

Lin Zichen nodded, saying nothing more.

For the rest of the time, the two continued swimming and discussing superpowers.

They imagined all sorts of possibilities inspired by movies and novels—Water Mage, Water Elementalist, Water Spirit, Water Deity, even Water Spiritual Root Cultivator.

Talking about it made Shen Qinghan glow with excitement, her face flushed with joy.

After all these years, she had finally confirmed she wasn’t a useless girl but someone with a real water-based superpower.

She thought that once she fully mastered her ability, no one would dare call her Lin Zichen’s servant anymore.

Instead, people would say they were a perfect match, a pair of peerless geniuses.
