So, Fang Ze felt that this item would certainly be very attractive to Bai Zhi.
Could it be because of her tsundere nature?
After spending a lot of time with Bai Zhi, Fang Ze had come to understand her personality. Perhaps due to her noble upbringing, she placed great importance on face, and she never accepted defeat or showed weakness.
So, if she happened to like this item, but didn't know he was prepared to lend it to her, maybe... she might act all tsundere.
As he thought this, Fang Ze tried to shift his approach. To more directly advance the "lending" plan, he said, "Well, Officer Bai Zhi, if... I were to lend this mermaid to you..."
When Bai Zhi heard what Fang Ze said, she, who had been coveting it, was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but turn around in surprise and look at Fang Ze.
At that moment, Fang Ze was also looking at Bai Zhi.
So, the two of them couldn't help but lock eyes. Staring at each other intently.
