Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Su Xun was startled and his eyes moved slightly.

He thought for a moment, then replied: "Everything in the world has its own rise and fall, flowers are like this, and so are people."

Ningguang nodded slightly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Wealth and power are like flowers. They seem dazzling, but they can hardly resist the erosion of time."

Su Xun looked at Ningguang, not knowing how to respond.

He had never seen Ningguang so emotional. Usually she was always so calm and wise, as if everything was under her control.

"Ningguang, you seem a little different today." Su Xun said softly.

Ningguang slowly raised her eyes and looked at Su Xun, "Really? Perhaps the scene brought back some emotions for me."

Hearing this, Su Xun remained silent, and couldn't help but think a lot in his mind.

What kind of emotion is it?

The two fell into a brief silence again, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

After a long while, Ningguang broke the silence: "Su Xun, what are your plans for the future?"

"What are your plans for the future?" Su Xun raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I just want to protect the people around me, then continue to become stronger and enjoy life."

Ningguang chuckled: "You are quite free and easy."

Su Xun smiled slightly, "Life is short, why bother yourself with troubles. But you, Ningguang, as a Tianquan Star, in charge of Liyue's wealth and affairs, what are your plans for the future?"

Ningguang raised her eyes slightly and looked into the distance. "Me? Of course I will continue to work hard to protect this land for the prosperity of Liyue."

"You are worthy of being Lord Ningguang. You have a sense of justice and are admirable!" Su Xun patted his hands in admiration.

Then he added: "But besides protecting Liyue, don't you think about yourself? After all, even the most powerful people need to rest."

Hearing this, Ningguang paused, then turned to look at Su Xun and smiled faintly.

"Of course... Sometimes I also hope that one day I can find someone who can share the beauty of this world with me, whether it is wealth, power, or the treasures in this collection room."

"Or... in this bustling Liyue Harbor, find a quiet corner and enjoy the peace and warmth of the rest of your life with that special person."

Su Xun's heart moved slightly when he heard Ningguang's words.

He looked at Ningguang's eyes filled with a hint of longing, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Su Xun said softly: "Ningguang, you will definitely find that person."

"I may have found that person." Ningguang stared at Su Xun and said.

“Uh…” Su Xun’s heart tightened, and then his eyes flickered, and he said awkwardly: “Haha, is that so? Who is so lucky to be favored by Ningguang?”

Seeing Su Xun like this, Ningguang looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Su Xun looked more and more uncomfortable, and after a few seconds, she replied: "It's a secret, do you want to know?"

Su Xun was stunned. He looked into Ningguang's eyes, which seemed to contain unfathomable emotions.

It seems that Ningguang's question was not just a casual one, but one that carried her true feelings.

Su Xun couldn't help but wonder if there would be subtle changes in their relationship if he answered "yes".

But if he answered "no", would he miss the opportunity to further deepen his relationship with Ningguang?

"I..." Su Xun hesitated.

Judging from his current speculation, Ningguang seemed to like him, and asked this question perhaps to test him.

If he directly answered "yes", it would undoubtedly give Ningguang a positive signal, and the relationship between them might quickly heat up.

But what about Su Xun himself? How does he feel about Ningguang?

Does he like her?

In response to this question, Su Xun gave a positive answer in less than a second.

Nonsense, he is a philandering man and naturally likes all beautiful women.

But it's just liking, certainly not love.

Su Xun's definition of love is liking plus the affection and commitment that comes from spending time together day and night.

He knew very well that he could not make such a promise to Ningguang at the moment, after all, he already had a wife.

If he accepts Ningguang now, not only will he disappoint his relatives and friends, but he will also hurt his wife.

Even Gui Zhong, who had clearly expressed her love for him, had not been accepted by Su Xun, let alone Ning Guang?

Ningguang looked at Su Xun's hesitation, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She smiled slightly, breaking the awkwardness: "Okay, no need to answer. Tell me the answer next time you have a chance."

Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little conflicted.

He hasn't figured out how to answer this question yet, so he can only wait and see.

Alas, although marriage is beautiful, it is also a bondage. As a result, he now dares not indulge his feelings easily.

Ningguang turned around and continued to admire the treasures in the collection room, as if the previous topic had never happened.

Su Xun followed him, and the two of them walked around in the collection room for a while, but the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before.

Su Xun felt that he needed time to digest the conversation just now.

"Ningguang, um... I think I should leave." Su Xun finally spoke.

Ningguang turned her head and asked with a smile: "Don't you really want to stay with me?"

There was a hint of teasing in her tone.

Su Xun scratched his head and laughed dryly: "No, I just have something else to do, so I won't stay here for too long. I'll visit you next time I have the chance."

Ningguang nodded slightly and did not try to persuade him to stay: "Okay, since you have something to do, then go ahead. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when we meet next time."

"Ha... I will. Goodbye." Su Xun smiled awkwardly, said goodbye again, and then left the Qun Yu Pavilion.

She watched him go with a gleam of light, staring at Su Xun's hurriedly departing figure until he disappeared from her sight, a hint of complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

To be honest, Ningguang didn't know what was going on with Su Xun, and she wasn't sure whether the feeling that was sprouting in her heart was love or not.

She silently asked herself, where did this special feeling for Su Xun come from? Was it his handsome face, or his cheerful and uninhibited personality? Or was it his mysterious immortal temperament? Ningguang couldn't tell clearly for a moment.

She just felt that when she was with Su Xun, she could feel an unprecedented sense of ease and joy, and every moment since they met seemed to carry a different kind of warmth.

This feeling cannot be felt anywhere else.

Money and power brought her countless glory and status, but also brought a lot of pressure and constraints.

She must always remain calm and wise, without any mistakes or weaknesses.

But whenever she was with Su Xun, she could temporarily put aside these burdens, become an ordinary woman again, and enjoy a moment of peace and happiness.

This feeling made her a little addicted...
