What Ya Qin hadn't expected was that the next time the tide came in, at almost the exact same spot, she found another bottle. She couldn't wait to get to the shore, uncork the bottle, and pull out the letter, overjoyed to discover it was indeed a reply from the person who went by the pen name Ye Yin Shang.
In her previous response, Ya Qin had simply told Ye Yin Shang that she was indeed a mermaid, her pen name was Dian Dian, and she implored him to keep their secret safe, as promised.
Therefore, in Ye Yin Shang's second letter, Ya Qin could sense his surprise and excitement. In the letter, Ye Yin Shang vowed to her that he would absolutely take this secret to his grave and expressed his hope to become friends with Ya Qin, friends who couldn't meet but could share their innermost feelings with each other.
