Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

The kiss was as light as falling snow, but it stirred up a thousand waves in Youla's heart.

She felt all the blood in her body rushing to her cheeks, and even the ends of her hair were about to evaporate into white mist.

In the distance came the sound of Wendy playing the harp, the strings vibrating at the same frequency as her heartbeat.

"It turns out that Wave Knight can also be shy~"

Lisa's lazy voice startled Eula back to her senses.

Only then did she realize that the Rose Witch was leaning against the moon cave door, and the lightning wrapped around her fingertips was holding the camera suspended in the air.

The rosewood carved window lattices cut the sunlight into diamond-shaped spots, which just happened to be reflected on Eula's scarlet earrings.

"Lisa!" Eula tried to push Su Xun away in panic, but he held her tighter.

The ice crystal earrings hit Su Xun's chest, making a crisp sound.

"Don't move." Su Xun lowered his head and chuckled in her ear, "Otherwise Sister Lisa will take more evidence against her."

Before he finished speaking, the camera was suddenly covered by icy fog.

Shen He appeared at the corner of the corridor without knowing when. With a wave of her hand, the frost had frozen the camera into an ice sculpture: "Yuer is sleeping, it's too noisy."

"Oh my, mothers who protect their children are so terrible." Lisa complained, but her eyes were full of smiles.

She casually summoned the magic book, and the yellowed pages turned automatically, and the camera that was frozen into ice was put into the other dimension.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking porcelain from the other side of the courtyard.

Everyone turned to look and saw Qiqi standing on tiptoe to reach the almond tofu on the stone table and accidentally knocked over the celadon cup.

Klee tried to pick up the fragments, but was gently carried back to her seat by the rock hand condensed by Albedo using alchemy.

"It seems like we should move to another place for afternoon tea." Su Xun let go of Youla, and brushed the icy crystals in her hair with his fingertips. "Let's go to the pavilion?"

Eula nodded, and the two of them moved to the pavilion.

"Try this." Su Xun pushed a small celadon plate in front of her. In the glass cup was a Mondstadt-style fried carrot with honey sauce, and the surface was drizzled with Liyue's specialty, the colorful flower dew. "I improved the recipe."

Eula picked up a piece with a fork. The familiar caramel aroma reminded her of the afternoon training in Mondstadt.

At that time, she always sat alone in the corner of the training ground, watching Amber running around the shooting range like a little sun.

The moment the meat entered the mouth, the sweetness of honey and the spiciness of Jueyun pepper exploded on the tip of the tongue, and the taste was a hundred times warmer than the memory.

"How is it?" Su Xun supported his chin and looked at her. The red string that had slipped down from his sleeve was strung with the peace locket given to him by Shen He.

"It's OK." Eula turned her head deliberately, the ice crystals in her hair reflecting the halo of the glass lamp, "It's worse than the chef of the Deer Hunter..."

Before he could finish his words, the corner of his lips suddenly felt the warm tip of a finger.

Su Xun wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth and put her fingertips into her mouth.

This extremely ambiguous action made Eula freeze like a statue in an instant, and the fork fell onto the jade table with a clang.

"It's really not sweet enough." Su Xun smiled like a cat stealing fish, "I'll put two more spoons of sugar next time."

"You!" Eula's face suddenly turned red. She was not used to such intimate behavior.

She glared at Su Xun and hit him lightly, as if she was acting coquettishly.

……

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, the sky gradually darkened and my friends said goodbye one after another.

Wendy took Albedo and Lisa and flew back to Mondstadt on Tevarin.

As for Klee, Lisa still didn't take her back.

After all, she and Kaeya had given Klee three days of vacation before - although they did it without Captain Jean's knowledge.

And Albedo, the guardian, had no plans to take Klee back. As a friend, Albedo was very confident in Su Xun. He believed that Su Xun could take good care of Klee and keep her from getting into trouble.

But before leaving, he still gave Kelly some instructions.

"Remember that you can only make three bouncing bombs a day." Albedo squatted down, his fingertips lit up with rock elemental light, and he condensed a star pattern alchemical lock on the buckle of Klee's backpack. "If you exceed this number, the star sand will turn red."

Keli was shaking her Duduke backpack, her bow-knotted hairband bouncing in the sunset: "But last time Brother Su Xun took us to fry fish, he used five..."

"That's a special case." Albedo glanced at Su Xun, "You must abide by local laws in Liyue Port, understand?"

In the courtyard, as everyone left one after another, the originally lively atmosphere gradually subsided, leaving only Su Xun and the girls, as well as Keli, Qiqi and Yaoyao who were still playing in a corner of the courtyard.

As dusk permeated Liyue Harbor, lanterns lit up one after another on the eaves.

Xiangling walked through the moon-shaped door carrying the steamed chicken in lotus leaves. The rice crusts were piled up in the bamboo tray above her head like a small mountain, and the rising hot air woke up the little sparrow that was dozing off.

"Brother! I stole and borrowed all the salt and pepper that my father treasured!" Xiangling's ponytail tied with a red ribbon fluttered in the night wind, and the Fire Elemental God's Eye on her waist jingled against the glazed crescent moon pendant. "Eula, are you mixing a cocktail? I can smell the aroma of Luoluo berries!"

A blue head covered in flour suddenly popped out of the kitchen window. Eula held up an egg beater, and her ice crystal earrings swayed in the smoke. "It's ice mist flower wine. Do you want to try the Mondstadt way of drinking it?"

Su Xun, who was teasing Xiao Yue'er, paused for a moment, looked at Youla's cheeks flushed by the heat and chuckled, but was glared at by her.

The rosewood table in the center of the courtyard is filled with delicious food.

Mondstadt-style honey-glazed ribs are next to Liyue's traditional pickled pork with preserved vegetables. Next to Jueyun's fried jade mixed vegetables bag with peppers, Klee's fisherman's toast with a cute pouty face drawn on it with ketchup is steaming.

Suddenly, Klee was inspired to write poetry. She jumped onto the stone bench, her sparkling eyes reflecting the glass lamp: "The snapdragons are shaking, the bombs are jumping, after blowing up the wine lake, let's go blow up... um!"

The bowl of coconut milk held by Qiqi was rippled. Yaoyao covered Xiao Yang's mouth in time and tried to smooth things over: "Keli meant... fried rice cakes!"

The crowd laughed.

As the moonlight flooded the pavilion, Su Xun stopped Youla at the corner of the corridor.

Her fingertips were still cool from the water, but her cheeks were brighter than the sunset.

Su Xun sealed her lips with a kiss before she could even open them.

Ripples appeared in the green pond, and the fragrance of ice mint lingered between Su Xun's lips and teeth, which was the unique scent of the Wave Knight's hair.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"The night is long, and we still have plenty of time." Su Xun's voice was low and gentle, like the night breeze blowing past his ears.

His fingers gently stroked Eula's hair, and the icy earrings sparkled softly under the light.

"No! I'm not ready yet!"

Eula's voice was as soft as petals in the night breeze, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes, and the ice crystal earrings swayed slightly under the light, reflecting a hint of nervousness.

Su Xun saw that the tips of her ears were stained red, her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes were trembling, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of love and pity in his heart.

He gently held her in his arms, feeling her slightly trembling body, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to accompany you more. The night is long, we can look at the stars and chat together."

Youla leaned in Su Xun's arms, feeling his warmth, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

“…It’s better this way.”
