Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 78: Start with Appearance, Stay True to Character

"Hey, Su Xun, look, there's a pretty girl walking behind you."

Paimeng's seat was facing the entrance of Wanmin Hall. When he saw Shen He coming, he reminded him.

Yingmei was eating. When she heard the sound, she looked over curiously, and then a look of amazement appeared in her eyes.

Su Xun naturally knew about this, and he felt helpless at this moment. He did not use the communication jade pendant to inform Shen He that he was going to come back. He originally wanted to give Shen He a surprise, but he did not expect to meet him in advance.

Su Xun sorted out his feelings, turned to face Shen He, looked into her pure eyes, and smiled: "Shen He, I'm back."

"Yeah." Shen He was not good at speaking, she just nodded, her eyes moving and a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Why didn't you inform me in advance?"

"I just wanted to give you a surprise..." Su Xun smiled awkwardly.

"Surprise?" Shen He tilted his head, then shook his head, "Not really a surprise, but I'm very happy."

Su Xun pursed his lips. He didn't expect Shen He to express his feelings so directly. This frankness made him feel happy and a little embarrassed.

Su Xun coughed lightly, trying to hide his somewhat agitated heart.

"Wait, um... so you two know each other?" Paimon finally reacted and asked in surprise.

"Who are they?" Shen He also looked at Yingmei and Paimeng and asked Su Xun.

Su Xun had no choice but to introduce them to each other again.

"Nice to meet you." Shen He nodded politely to Paimeng and Yingmei. During her time in the human world, she also learned some daily social etiquette.

Paimon and Yingmei also quickly responded, saying that they were also happy to meet Shen He.

But at this time they were very surprised in their hearts, because it seemed that the relationship between Su Xun and Shen He was somewhat unusual.

"Shen He, have you eaten? Why don't you sit down and eat with us?" Su Xun said in a gentle voice.

"Okay." Shen He had just come back from outside, so naturally he didn't have time to eat.

Su Xun went to find Master Mao to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks, then chatted with Xiangling, who was surprised to see him come back, and returned to his seat.

Xiangling originally wanted to come over and chat, but was quickly stopped by Master Mao.

This silly kid has no sense at all. Doesn’t he see that the atmosphere over there is a little bit off?

"Uh...why aren't you talking?" Su Xun asked puzzledly.

Because neither Yingmei nor Shenhe spoke at this time, the atmosphere seemed a little quiet and awkward.

"Ha...haha." Paimon laughed dryly. "It's mainly because Miss Shen He seems to have a strong aura. I'm embarrassed to speak."

Yingmei was not a talkative person to begin with, and Paimeng was at a loss for words when he saw Shenhe, so the group of people did not start a conversation.

"I don't know what to say." Shen He said bluntly.

"It's okay, just get more familiar with each other." Su Xun laughed, trying to ease the delicate atmosphere.

"Shen He is like this, she doesn't talk much, but she is easy to get along with. You don't have to be restrained, just act like you usually do with me."

"Mmm Good."

With Su Xun around, Paimeng relaxed a lot, and then she asked curiously: "Su Xun, what is your relationship with Shen He?"

Su Xun was stunned, then glanced at Shen He, and seeing that her eyes were calm, he coughed, "Ahem! Shen He is the disciple of my uncle Liu Yun, so we should be considered as senior and junior brothers and sisters."

We are senior and junior brothers and sisters now, but soon we will be more than just senior and junior brothers and sisters~

After this answer came out, Shen He hadn't said anything yet, but Yingmei felt some subtle emotions in her heart.

She felt inexplicably happy and she didn't know why.

"Oh oh." Paimeng suddenly realized, "Hehe, Su Xun, you have so many junior sisters. In addition to Yaoyao and Xiangling, now there is also Shen He!"

Su Xun smiled and didn't continue the topic.

"Shen He, how have you been these days? Is the work that Ning Guang arranged for you going smoothly?"

"Well, they are all very simple tasks." Shen He said concisely.

"Can you tell us about it?"

Shen He nodded slightly and began to talk about his experiences during this period.

But there was nothing much to say. With Shen He's personality, when he met an enemy, he would definitely persuade him and reason with him first. If he didn't listen, he would just attack him directly, which made the others feel ashamed.

After Shen He's story, Yingmei and Paimeng were no longer restrained and began to talk about their own experiences.

As they ate and chatted, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Half an hour later, the dinner was over.

After saying goodbye to Master Mao and Xiangling, they left Wanmin Hall.

Su Xun plans to let Yingmei and Paimeng rest at his house tonight, and then help them find another place to stay tomorrow.

Shen He's original residence in Liyue Harbor was Su Xun's home, so it was natural for them to go together.

As night falls, the lights of Chihuyan become brighter and the streets in the alleys are bustling with people.

Su Xun and his group walked through the bustling street market, occasionally hearing the hawkers' cries and customers' bargaining. These sounds intertwined to form a vivid night market symphony.

Yingmei and Paimon found all of this very novel. The night here was completely different from that in Mondstadt. They looked around, full of curiosity about the prosperous scene of Liyue Harbor.

Although Shen He still maintained her coldness and silence, Su Xun could sense a hint of tenderness in her eyes. It was obvious that after coming down the mountain, she had developed some feelings for this place.

The two of them walked behind, exuding an unspoken tacit understanding, as if the time apart had not made them strangers.

Su Xun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen He. Her beautiful appearance made him a little dazed.

They say that love begins with appearance and ends with character, and he is no different.

Su Xun's feelings for Shen He initially stemmed from his love for the character's illustrations and personality in the game.

But when he meets Shin Hak in real life and is struck by her beauty, his feelings begin to become more real and deeper.

After spending some time together, Su Xun found that he really fell in love with this girl who had a tragic fate but was still tenacious.

Although it is still a little early to talk about "love" now, he sincerely wants to give Shen He happiness.

Shen He seemed to sense his gaze, turned around and met Su Xun's eyes.

She didn't say anything, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Although the smile was faint, it was enough to create ripples in Su Xun's heart.

"what happened?"

Shen He's voice, like the sound of flowing spring, awakened Su Xun who was in a trance.
