Teacher Beibei looked deeply at Gu Yixing and then remained silent.
Little Taotie insisted on going into the sea, and Teacher Beibei chose to let the child be, allowing the youngster to make their own decisions without too much interference.
Gu Yixing wanted to keep things under control but was utterly unable to do so.
Gu Yixing could only ask Teacher Beibei to keep a close watch on Little Taotie because he couldn't swim and was unable to protect Little Taotie in the water.
Teacher Beibei, "You can learn to swim, I can teach you."
Gu Yixing declined politely.
Teacher Beibei did not insist further and instead dived underwater to keep an eye on Little Taotie.
In the water, Little Taotie was like a fish.
Teacher Beibei once again felt that Little Taotie was suited for the army—climbing trees, diving into water, and with great strength, they were a pillar of potential.
