Teyvat Survival Guide

The moon tonight seems particularly bright. The moonlight enters through the gap in the tent and quietly sprinkles on the ground.

Paimon had already fallen asleep wrapped in the quilt, but the two people here were still awake under the quilt.

Sora lowered his head and glanced at Samuel, who still had his eyes wide open.

Those beautiful blue eyes reflected his features, and after noticing his gaze, they looked away as if they were not paying attention.

Watching his little movements and then looking at the boy's rosy face, Kong thought he was very cute.

"Don't you want to sleep?" he whispered.

Samuel blinked his eyes, turned around, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not going to do that any more. I ...

“…I can’t sleep.”

Under Kong's puzzled gaze, the little slime over there blushed and almost wanted to slap itself in the face.

Samuel! You're a talker, aren't you? Say something!

Complaints aside, a certain little slime now dared not move at all, for fear that it would accidentally come into physical contact with the blond boy behind it.

It’s strange to say, he always thought he liked Kong, but in the end he didn’t even dare to touch her.

It was as if there was an inexplicable gap between them.

Now Sora was only wearing a set of plush pajamas, which would flatten when he touched them, and he could feel the blond boy's skin.

Then I imagine some bad scenes...

He felt the hot air coming slowly onto his ears from behind him, again and again, accompanied by his empty breaths.

Samuel felt that his ears were itchy, dry and hot!

The key is that he has the desire but not the courage, and he dares not do anything!

He even felt too ashamed to touch other people on his own initiative!

The more Samuel thought about it, the hotter his face became. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Samuel, you are such a loser!

Behind him, Sora was staring at the back of the white-haired boy's head in confusion. Hearing his impatient breathing, he wondered if he had said something wrong. Why did he seem angry?

Then, he glanced at the tip of the boy's ear next to his white hair, which was bright red in the dim tent.

null:…?

Before he could come to his senses, the other person suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.

Samuel rubbed his hot face and breathed slightly.

I really can't stand this torture! !

"I, I'm going out to get some fresh air..." He tried to suppress his agitated tone and stood up.

Sora listened to his words with a slightly changed tone and looked at his red face.

He recalled the time when he had come into contact with him when the other party was still in slime form, and his eyes widened slightly.

Could it be...

“…I’ll go with you.” He considered.

Samuel didn't say anything, he just opened the tent curtain and walked out.

Kong picked up the warm jacket and put it on, following closely behind him.

Outside, the silver moon is bright, and the stars are emitting their tiny light in the dark night sky, but these insignificant lights are connected into a dazzling galaxy.

Standing in the snow, urging the power of wind element, letting the cool breeze with the chill of the snowy mountains blow on the ears and face, a certain little slime finally calmed down little by little.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Samuel turned around.

Sora watched as the moon cast its silvery light into the boy's eyes, like clouds floating in the blue sky.

"You..." Kong started to speak, but swallowed his words carefully.

Thinking of the experience on the snowy mountain, Wendy's words and the little slime's reaction to the bubbles, and the red tips of the white-haired boy's ears that I just saw.

Kong felt that the other party might have different feelings for him.

He wanted to ask the other person if he liked him.

If so, what kind of like?

Although he had some guesses, he was not sure.

Yes, he did like Samuel too, the love was mutual and the little slime showed his affection for him very enthusiastically.

However, the "like" that Sora holds may not be what Samuel wants.

It’s not because he and Samuel are both boys and reject the idea of ​​“liking the same sex”.

Having traveled through many worlds, he has seen many things, even love that transcends race.

Therefore, when it comes to the issue of "liking the same sex", there is no rejection simply because I have not experienced it personally and have no real feelings about it.

It’s just that he has many friends, such as Paimon, Venti, Amber, Eula, and Albedo... These are all his friends, and Samuel is no exception.

When he and his sister traveled to other worlds, they met all kinds of friends with different personalities.

But he did not stay in that world because of any of his friends. He and his sister were always traveling between the worlds.

If it weren't for that strange god, perhaps they would have already gone to the next world.

He is a traveler. The purpose of his journey is just to find his blood relatives. Once he finds his sister, he will take her and try to leave this continent again.

Just like he and his sister had resolutely left the other world before.

So, if Samuel really did "like" him that way.

…He may not be able to give him the “like” he wants.

"Samuel, I--" he opened his mouth again, trying to make things clear with the other party.

"——The starry sky is beautiful today." Samuel looked up at the night sky and spoke at the same time as him.

After hearing what Kong hadn't finished saying, he lowered his head and looked at the other person.

"…What's wrong, brother Traveler?"

Kong clenched his fists and chose his words carefully, as if he was trying to muster up the courage to continue speaking, but when he saw the confused look on the white-haired boy's face, he slowly unclenched his fists.

…Is it necessary to make it clear now?

He... is still young.

He had just transformed into a human.

Maybe he himself doesn't know what kind of "like" he has.

And he didn't know when he would be able to find his sister, and his power was also blocked.

If I point it out to him, will he ask me back in confusion, or will he just look at me in silence...

...Or, sad?

If you ask yourself honestly, Kong doesn't want to see the other person sad.

Maybe it would continue like this, not revealing the other person's extravagant fantasies before finding his sister, but not going too far either.

Keeping Samuel at a distance from him, keeping Samuel's "like" within a safe range...

Before he could finish his thoughts, a dazzling arc of light streaked across the starry sky, interrupting his train of thought.

It drew a brilliant trace among the shining stars.

The white-haired boy obviously noticed it as well, his mouth opened wide with joy in his eyes.

"It's a shooting star!" he heard Samuel shout excitedly.

Sora shook his head slowly.

Let’s just leave it at that, keep the distance, and remain “safe” until he finds his sister.

And he and his sister will meet soon.

We will meet again.

So this wasn't difficult, Sora firmly believed.

So he went over and swept the snow to make a clear space, and there he and Samuel sat and watched the stars passing by.

He opened his mouth and told Samuel the story of how he and his sister turned into shooting stars and traveled through various worlds.

The white-haired boy's blue eyes were full of longing...but there seemed to be a hint of sadness?

However, Kong didn't pay too much attention and continued to narrate to him leisurely.

As he listened, Samuel began to feel drowsy and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

After a while, he lay on the blond boy's legs and fell asleep.

Kong shook his head helplessly, picked him up and carried him back to the bed in the tent.

He took off his warm jacket and got in.

"…Good night, Samuel." Sora said softly, looking at the sleeping boy.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
