Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Xingqiu stretched and looked at the sky.

It was already dusk, the sun was setting gradually, its afterglow spreading all over the earth, and the whole world was dyed with a light orange-yellow color.

"It seems that today's efforts have paid off, but it's getting late now, so I have to leave."

Walnut nodded, picked up the sketches and documents on the table, and responded: "Okay, thank you for today, you can go back first, I will treat you to a big meal next time!"

"Okay, I'll remember it." Xingqiu smiled and walked outside.

But before he left, he looked at Su Xun with a meaningful look.

"Why are you still staying here? Why? Don't you want to go out under the moonlight with your good junior sister?" Looking at Su Xun who was still standing there, Hu Tao said unhappily, with a hint of resentment in her tone.

Shen He looked a little puzzled when he heard this. Under the moon and flowers? What does this mean?

Su Xun smiled bitterly. He knew Hu Tao was feeling complicated, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

And now Shen He was right next to him, so he couldn't say much.

"Then we'll leave first..." Su Xun scratched his cheek with his index finger and spoke after a moment of silence.

"You!" Hu Tao was angry. I asked you to leave and you really planned to leave?

"Hmph! Go away, go away!" After saying this, she turned and walked towards the room.

Since Su Xun had nothing to say, Hu Tao didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Go and have a good time with your junior sister! We are just friends anyway...

Although she was thinking this in her mind, Hu Tao couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears began to fill her eyes.

Su Xun watched the girl slam the door shut and sighed inwardly.

Then he said to Shen He next to him: "Let's go back."

"Yeah." Shen He nodded.

So the two of them left the Hall of Rebirth together.

As the few people left, the Hall of Rebirth began to become quiet, as usual.

The branches and leaves in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering about the hustle and bustle of the day.

Hu Tao sat alone on the wooden bed in the room, listening to the noise outside gradually disappearing. The sense of loss suddenly surged into her heart like a tide. The bitterness in her heart became more intense, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Bastard Su Xun! Damn Su Xun! Big fool!"

Hu Tao was lying on the bed, pounding the pillow with her fists. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.

As she cried, she gradually lay down on the bed, covering her face with a pillow and letting her tears soak its surface.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Squeak-"

At this moment, a faint sound of a door opening was heard, followed by a steady sound of footsteps.

However, Walnut, who was immersed in sorrow, did not hear these voices and kept sobbing softly.

Outside the house, Zhongli walked from the front hall to the courtyard, looking at the pile of papers and pens on the table, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Did the hall master stay in the hall all day today? It's rare.

"Huh?" Zhongli frowned suddenly. He heard a faint crying sound.

Listening carefully, he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if it was the voice of the hall master.

But... how could this be possible? With the hall master's personality, how could he cry? If anyone was going to cry, it should be someone else.

Zhongli listened carefully for a while and found that the sound was indeed coming from Hutao's room, which made him feel a little surprised.

After thinking for a while, Zhongli slowly walked towards Hu Tao's house.

He knew that Hu Tao had always been strong and would never show weakness in front of others. The sudden crying made Zhongli feel that the matter might be serious, so he decided to show concern and ask about it.

He stood outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked on the door gently. A magnetic and steady voice sounded: "Master, are you okay?"

Hu Tao's crying stopped abruptly. She didn't expect someone to come back suddenly at this time. The voice sounded like Zhongli.

She quickly wiped the tears from her face and tried to make her voice sound calm. "Oh, it's Ke Qing. It's nothing. I'm just a little tired. If you have nothing else, please don't disturb me. I want to rest for a while."

After hearing this, Zhongli did not leave. He could feel a hint of sob in Hu Tao's voice, so he thought Hu Tao was pretending to be strong.

"...I heard the hall master crying." Zhongli didn't want to beat around the bush, so he just said it directly.

"If you have any difficulties or worries, you can tell me. Old Master Hu asked me to take good care of you before he passed away, so I think I can still help a little."

Hearing this, Kurumi fell silent in the room.

After a while, she said, "...then come in, guest."

Zhongli gently pushed open the door and saw Hu Tao sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly red, but there were no traces of tears on her face.

He walked into the room, closed the door quietly, and sat down in the chair next to the bed.

"Master, can you tell me what happened?" Zhongli's voice was gentle and concerned.

Kurumi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She knew that Zhongli, as a guest official hired by her grandfather to assist her in managing the Wangsheng Hall, truly cared about her and was someone she could trust.

Maybe she would feel better if she talked to him, so after hesitating, she did not hide anything.

"Actually... it's about me and Su Xun." Hu Tao spoke softly, but there was a hint of trembling in her voice.

"Su Xun?" Zhongli frowned slightly. The disciple of Ge Chen?

He remembered that Su Xun was Hu Tao's friend since childhood, and they had always had a good relationship. Why would she cry because of Su Xun?

Zhongli did not interrupt, but just listened patiently.

Hu Tao told Zhongli everything that happened today, including her feelings for Su Xun and the relationship between Su Xun and Shen He. Her words were filled with loss and sadness.

After listening to this, Zhongli remained silent.

After Hu Tao talked about it, her mood improved a little, but she still felt aggrieved and couldn't help but complain to Zhongli.

"Keqing, what should I do? I feel sad when I think of Su Xun being with someone else."

Zhongli's eyes flashed with helplessness. He had never experienced such a thing as love...

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Master, emotional matters are indeed very complicated. Although we cannot completely control our hearts, as long as we obey them, perhaps you can find your own answer."

Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and repeated Zhongli's words in confusion: "Obey it?"

Zhongli nodded. "Yes, you need to listen to your inner voice, find out what you really want, and then pursue it bravely, so that you will not regret it."

Hu Tao was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "But he's already with Shen He, shouldn't I interfere in their relationship anymore..."
