Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Youla's cheeks flushed slightly, and she avoided looking directly into Su Xun's eyes. She lowered her head to look at the muffin in her hand, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edge of the porcelain plate, as if there was a pattern on it that was worth her focused study.

Seeing this, Su Xun's mouth corners slightly raised.

He did not move closer, but turned and walked to the stone table in the courtyard, put down the tray, then gently patted the stone bench beside him, motioning Eula to sit down.

"Try it. This is Mondstadt-style pancake. I specially added some Liyue osmanthus honey. It should taste good." Su Xun's voice was gentle, with a hint of laziness and casualness.

Eula hesitated for a moment, but finally walked to the stone table and sat down.

She took a careful bite of the muffin. The soft cake melted in her mouth. The sweet aroma of honey and the fragrance of osmanthus intertwined together, bringing a wonderful taste experience.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't help but take another bite.

"How is it?" Su Xun supported his chin with one hand, his eyes fixed on Youla's face with some anticipation.

"It's delicious." Eula replied in a low voice, with a rare softness in her voice.

She raised her head and met Su Xun's eyes that were like the sea of ​​stars. Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

She quickly lowered her head, pretending to focus on the muffin in her hand, but the tips of her ears were quietly stained with a hint of blush.

Su Xun smiled slightly and turned to look at the other people in the courtyard.

Wendy was holding a bottle of wine, leaning lazily on Tvarin's wings, humming an unknown tune.

Lisa was chatting with the other girls, and from time to time she looked up at the lively scene of Keli, Qiqi, Yaoyao and the others playing in the courtyard.

Albedo stood in a corner of the courtyard, holding a paintbrush in his hand, as if recording something.

Shen He stood aside, looking at his sleeping daughter tenderly, and occasionally reached out to help her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

"It's so lively." Su Xun exclaimed, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

Eula followed his gaze and couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.

She never thought that one day she would find herself in such a scene, sharing the tranquility and warmth with a group of strangers.

"Su Xun." Youla suddenly spoke, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Hmm?" Su Xun turned his head and his eyes fell on her face.

Youla pursed her lips, as if choosing her words.

Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the porcelain plate, and her fingertips turned slightly white.

After a moment, she finally mustered up the courage, raised her head and looked directly into Su Xun's eyes: "I...I want to ask you something."

Su Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter?"

Youla took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "You...how do you feel about me?"

Su Xun was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Youla was a little confused. Her cheeks became even redder because of Su Xun's smile, and there was a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness in her eyes.

She thought that if she mustered up the courage to ask this question, Su Xun would respond seriously and solemnly, but the smile on Su Xun's face made her confused and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Su Xun put away his smile and looked at Youla gently, "I just didn't expect you to ask such a question."

Youla was slightly startled, and the blush on the tip of her ear became more obvious. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I just... want a clear answer."

"Answer? Didn't I give it to you a long time ago? Eula, you should be able to feel my feelings for you."

Su Xun directly held Youla's cold and soft little hand. Because she had been practicing swordsmanship since she was a child, there were slight calluses on her hands, but it did not affect the delicate touch at all.

Youla's body stiffened slightly, as if she was startled by the sudden action. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her fingertips, but she stayed there unconsciously because of Su Xun's warm and strong grip.

After two seconds of silence, Youla's face turned slightly red. She turned her head and snorted, "You are such a playboy. You are passionate about every girl. Who knows if your feelings for me are just a whim?"

Su Xun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Is this the image of me in your mind?"

Youla gave him a look that said "Isn't it?", curled her lips slightly, and tried to pull her hand back, but Su Xun held it even tighter.

He chuckled and said, "Tsundere, Eula."

When Su Xun said this, Youla was confused at first, and then a little annoyed.

"What do you mean? Are you calling me a tsundere? Humph! I'll remember this grudge!"

Youla tried hard to break free from Su Xun's hand, but Su Xun pulled her into his arms.

"It doesn't matter. You've held grudges against me many times. I don't think I can ever avenge you in this lifetime. Why don't you stay with me? I'll spend the rest of my life slowly avenging you. Is that okay?"

Su Xun's voice was low and gentle, and his warm breath gently brushed over Youla's ears, making the tips of her ears even hotter, and a blush quickly spread to her cheeks.

Youla was at a loss for words because of Su Xun's sudden action. She froze in his arms, her mind going blank.

Her heart was beating like thunder, as if it was going to burst through her chest. She subconsciously placed her hands on Su Xun's chest, trying to push him away, but she seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could not exert any strength at all.

Then Youla's cheeks became even redder, and she muttered, "Who wants to be with you? You are such a self-righteous person!"

Su Xun was unmoved, he just hugged her tightly and said softly: "Eula! Since you want a clear answer, then this is my answer. I like you, now I have made it very clear, what about you?"

Hearing this, Youla stopped what she was doing. She raised her head slightly and looked at Su Xun.

"...I...I like you too." Looking at Su Xun's serious gaze, Youla finally stopped being stubborn and arrogant.

"Then let's be together, okay?" Su Xun smiled slightly and said again.

"Um……"

After Youla responded softly, the smile in Su Xun's eyes became more intense. He gently held Youla's face and kissed her forehead, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
