Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the girl's face, like a golden blanket, making her face appear even more serene.

The sounds of laughter and playfulness coming from outside the window made Hu Tao frown slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes, the moisture in her eyes making her feel a little disoriented. Sitting up, she looked at the somewhat unfamiliar room, her mind momentarily hazy. Instinctively, she gently wiped away the remaining tears, looking at the dampness on her fingers, and murmured softly, "Grandpa..."

The noise from outside the window showed no sign of stopping. Hu Tao composed herself, put on her coat, got out of bed, and opened the window.

In an instant, sunlight shone into her eyes, the intense light causing Hu Tao to squint instinctively. When the light faded, she saw a scene of playful laughter in the courtyard. Paimeng and Ying were bickering and chasing Qiuqiu back and forth. Meanwhile, Zhongli, Su Mo, and the others were talking, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

At this moment, noticing the commotion on Hu Tao's side, Zhong Li looked at Hu Tao and smiled warmly: "Good morning, Hall Master."

Su Mo and the others also greeted them.

"Good morning, Walnut!" Paimon greeted.

"Good morning, Master Hu!"

Seeing this, Hu Tao's eyes had already welled up with tears. She reached out and gently wiped her eyes, then smiled and said, "Good morning, everyone!"

Her voice was high-pitched and joyful, her emotions overflowing, and this sudden burst of enthusiasm surprised everyone.

Su Mo teased first, "What's wrong? The sun's practically high in the sky, still sleepy? You look so happy, did you have a good dream?"

Because Hu Tao interrupted him and Yun Jin's soup-drinking session yesterday and then stayed here all afternoon, Su Mo reminded her as it was getting dark, but Hu Tao refused to leave no matter what. So she ended up having dinner at the new courtyard. After dinner, Su Mo wanted to enjoy some alone time with Hu Tao and urged her again. Hu Tao only agreed but didn't leave, which left Su Mo quite helpless.

He sought help from Yun Jin, but Yun Jin had somehow been turned to the enemy side. The two of them were united against the enemy, and they said that he was urging him so much because he disliked Hu Tao. Seeing this, Su Mo could only prepare a room for Hu Tao next door and sleep there for the night.

Seeing that Hu Tao hadn't returned for a long time, Zhong Li came to look for her in the middle of the night. After learning that Hu Tao hadn't run away, he returned to the Hall of Rebirth. Perhaps he was worried about the little girl, so he rushed over early in the morning, only to find that she was still fast asleep.

Su Mo naturally had some feelings about these things, and so during the morning, she subtly reminded Zhong Li to keep an eye on her daughter. Zhong Li agreed, but also pleaded with Su Mo many times about Hu Tao's impulsive nature, while Yun Jin sat with the two of them, just smiling without saying a word.

Seeing Hu Tao like this, I couldn't help but feel a desire to tease her.

Hearing Su Mo's dreamy words, Hu Tao rolled her eyes, unwilling to pay any attention, and thought to herself.

Su Mo is such a nuisance. All he does is tease her all day long. Yun Jin is so much better. She doesn't mind if she eats with Yun Jin, and she even lets Yun Jin stay overnight. She even helps Yun Jin when Yun Jin is wronged. She's a true best friend.

Such a good person, I really don't know how she could have fallen for Su Mo, this unreliable guy.

This mere Su Mo, ha, we'll just find a suitable place to bury him when the time comes.

But despite the complaints, a rebuttal is still necessary.

"I didn't have a good dream, I was just thinking about things from the past. Do you want to hear it?"

“Okay, I have nothing to do so early in the morning, let me hear what you have to say,” Su Mo replied, her face serious.

Hu Tao's lips curled into a slight smile, and she raised an eyebrow. "Dream on! Hehehe..." she said, then leaned against the windowsill and made a face.

Su Mo sighed helplessly, glanced up at Zhong Li, who chuckled without saying a word, then turned to look at Hu Tao, seemingly relieved, and said, "A young girl's thoughts are always ever-changing."

Seeing Su Mo's discomfiture, Yun Jin comforted her, "Alright, alright, since you're both awake, let's eat! Hu Tao, go wash up, dinner's ready soon!" Yun Jin called out to Hu Tao.

Hu Tao responded and hopped down from the windowsill, looking exceptionally happy.

Breakfast time

Seeing the walnuts being devoured with gusto, Zhongli asked with a smile, "Master, what makes you so happy?"

Walnut stuffed a fried dough stick into her mouth, her mouth bulging, and said indistinctly, "I've noticed that Zhongli, you seem to be talking a lot today."

Zhongli smiled gently: "Is that so? Perhaps seeing the Hall Master happy makes me feel better too. Can you tell me what happened?"

The girl's emotions are changing so much, who knows what might have happened? As for asking, it has long been a regular part of his routine. Paying attention to the hall master's emotional changes is still very necessary for him as a guest elder.

"Yeah, Walnut, what's making you so happy?" Paimon asked.

Although I'm usually happy to see Hu Tao, there's always something strange about me that I can't quite put my finger on. But today, she seems to be genuinely happy.

Looking at the expectant and caring eyes of everyone, Hu Tao felt a warm current flow through her heart, and her heart was filled with warmth.

She smiled slyly: "It's a secret."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli shook his head.

"Tch... stingy," Paimon muttered, finishing off the steamed bun in front of Hu Tao.

Hu Tao slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, "Hey, Paimon, how could you eat my steamed buns?"

"Who told you to be so slow?" Paimon retorted without any politeness.

"Ugh, you can't do that!" Hu Tao exclaimed, almost frantic. She had deliberately saved that for last!

"Alright, alright, you're making such a racket so early in the morning. Here, I have another one. Here you go," Su Mo said helplessly, then handed his share to Hu Tao.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time for Su Mo's sake," Hu Tao glanced at Paimon with an unfriendly look.

"Wow! Ying, she's threatening me!" Paimon pretended to be scared and quickly hid behind Ying.

Ying shook her head helplessly.

You seemed so nonchalant just now, and your desire for revenge was a bit too obvious, you know.

"Yes! I'm just threatening you. I'll have Ying as my assistant, Su Mo scatter flowers in front, and then bury you somewhere in the dead of night." Hu Tao said fiercely, taking a big bite out of her bun. "You agree, Zhong Li. You're a guest elder of our Rebirth Hall, so you'd better step up and do your job."

Those who were called out were speechless, while Zhongli nodded and calmly said, "Master, talking while eating is bad for your stomach."

Hu Tao watched this scene quietly, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

It's so good to have you all here...

After breakfast, everyone left.

Su Mo, as her boyfriend, took the initiative to do the housework and clean up the scene after the battle, while Yun Jin watched from the side.

It wasn't that Yun Jin was insensitive, but rather that someone insisted on taking on these responsibilities. Fine, she'd take on them, but they wouldn't let her be too far away, saying that if she couldn't see them from a distance, she'd miss them and lose motivation to work.

What is this for?

By not letting her do anything but making her watch, is he trying to show off his hard work, wanting to be seen doing things so he can praise him?

Thinking of this, Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh.

You're such a grown-up, why are you acting like a child?

"By the way, after what you said this morning, I wonder what Hu Tao is thinking about you?" Yun Jin teased.

"What's wrong with the arrangement? I just think it's fine to come over for a visit, but having to be provided with accommodation and meals every day is something anyone would get annoyed about," Su Mo complained while washing the dishes.

Yun Jin smiled and looked at the person. "Small emotions? Do you think I let Hu Tao stay here to deliberately stop you? Or are you feeling unbalanced because Hu Tao can come to me, but no one comes to you?"

"That's not what I thought."

“If it’s the latter, then you can let Zhang Yan come. I won’t have any objections.”

“I’m not that shameless, and with you here, Zhang Yan wouldn’t do it either,” Su Mo replied.

Zhang Yan knew that Yun Jin was staying at home and would be sleeping here for the night, so without Yun Jin saying anything, he took care of her first.

Besides, given Zhang Yan's personality, he wouldn't do anything so unromantic. What would he be doing here, eating dog food? He figured the other person wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for themselves.

As they spoke, Su Mo had already washed all the dishes and put them in the cupboard. After closing the cupboard, Su Mo sighed softly and wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead. "So much stuff, it really exhausted me. I'm so glad you didn't do it. Otherwise, I would have been heartbroken to see you so tired."

Su Mo looked at Yun Jin with anticipation, but Yun Jin pretended not to know and met his gaze calmly.

Su Mo spoke again, "I have to do this kind of thing. Look how clean I washed it." He said this with a deep sense of bitterness and resentment, but his eyes were full of expectation, as if he wanted to be praised.

Seeing this, Yun Jin finally couldn't help but chuckle and nodded in praise, "Good, good, you're awesome! Thank you for your hard work."

Su Mo nodded matter-of-factly, "That makes sense, I like to hear it."

Yun Jin smiled and shook her head.

"You, sometimes you act like a little kid."

"The walnut incident is one thing, and the dishwashing incident is another."

Su Mo blinked. "Since I'm a child, will Sister Yun take care of me?"

Yun Jin scoffed, "Then we'll see how you perform."

Su Mo feigned grievance, "Isn't my performance good enough? I didn't even make you do that much work."

Yun Jin chuckled, "You performed so well, why did you let your sister Yun watch over you here?"

"Do you know how tiring it is to stand? My legs are sore and aching right now... Hey! What are you doing!" Before Yun Jin could finish speaking, Su Mo swept her up in his arms.

Su Mo looked at the slightly coquettish girl in his arms and grinned mischievously. "Since Sister Yun is tired, I'll help her relax..." he said, and carried Yun Jin outside.

"No, put me down..." Yun Jin struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, but when she saw that it was no use, she relaxed and let Su Mo hold her.

Su Mo went to the sofa and placed Yun Jin on it. He then sat down next to her and placed her beautiful legs, encased in purple stockings, across his own legs. He raised his hand and gently massaged her smooth skin.

Feeling the smooth and delicate texture, Su Mo suddenly thought, "It's actually pretty good. I'll buy a few more and change the color someday."

Yun Jin felt the other person's gentle force and couldn't help but moan softly a few times.

"Is the force alright?"

Looking at Su Mo's serious profile, Yun Jin smiled slightly and nodded in praise, "Little brother Su Mo, your skills are not bad."

Seeing Su Mo's surprised expression, Yun Jin couldn't help but tease, "Sometimes I really suspect that you've had other girls behind my back with Ke Qing. How come you know everything? Where do you get so many ideas?"

Su Mo scoffed, "You really have no faith in your own charm?"

To everyone's surprise, Yun Jin nodded seriously, "If I were charming, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to pursue you."

Su Mo chuckled, "If you weren't charming, I would have been snatched away by someone else long ago. No matter what happened before, I can't resist Sister Yun's charm now. I've already fallen for her charms, otherwise I wouldn't be so infatuated that I'm doing hard labor here."
