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

Su Mo continued walking side by side with the old man, the atmosphere between them somewhat silent.

Su Mo glanced at the old man, then turned her head to the side.

The same is true for the elderly.

The true essence within Su Mo shook its head and chuckled softly.

These two really are worthy of being grandfather and grandson!

Just say what you want to say.

Why keep putting on airs?

She wouldn't believe it if you said you didn't know what to say.

After all, she had used a whole repertoire of sweet words to talk to Yun Jin and her back then.

Su Mo couldn't bring herself to apologize, ultimately because of the man's competitive spirit.

Is this the silent fatherly love between men?

This is really...

It looks a bit like a child.

She dared to say that if it were Hu Tao, she would definitely not sit idly by and wait for death. On the contrary, she would hug the old man's arm and say a few sweet words, or pretend to be cute.

Between girls, a simple "baby" or a few comforting words from a close friend would suffice.

Of course, it's fine if it's girls, but between boys... well, it might be a bit hard to watch.

The two strolled along like this.

"Xi Yue... Is that girl alright?" the old man finally asked, but his tone was tentative, more cautious than during their previous argument.

"It's fine. She's Tianquan Star in Liyue now, and I see her often. Don't worry, our relationship is alright," Su Mo replied calmly.

The old man nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that's good."

After all, he was no longer alive, and he was worried that Su Mo might find it difficult to manage on her own.

If Ningguang, who has a past relationship with Su Mo, were to harbor resentment towards Su Mo and refuse to be close to him, then Su Mo would truly have no family left.

After the brief exchange, the atmosphere remained silent.

Just then, a commotion came from ahead.

Su Mo hurriedly walked in front of the old man, watching the bushes ahead with some vigilance. Seeing this, the old man's eyes softened.

"Su Mo!?" A familiar voice called out from inside.

Su Mo then lowered her guard and responded.

After Su Mo responded, Ying and Paimon appeared in front of the grandfather and grandson.

Ying was initially delighted, but then looked at the old man beside Su Mo with some confusion, as did Paimeng.

"Why are you here?" Su Mo asked.

Ying said helplessly, "It's because you haven't come back for a while, so we were worried that you might be too busy, so we sent Paimon and me to look for you. By the way, Su Mo, who is this?"

Su Mo smiled and introduced them, "This is my grandfather."

Paimon covered his mouth in surprise, "Su Mo, you, your grandfather!?"

Although their relationship with Su Mo was nowhere near as close as Ke Qing's, as they had grown up together, they still knew something about Su Mo's situation.

Su Mo's grandfather passed away a long time ago!?

Paimon looked at the dark blue figure with some surprise, then circled around Su Mo and the old man, scratching his head. "Strange, are you really Su Mo's grandfather? Weren't you dead a long time ago?"

"Paimon!" Ying pulled Paimon back, her face full of disappointment, looking just like she was looking at her own good-for-nothing child.

Even though the person is dead, what's the difference between what you did and hitting them right in the face with a super move?

Paimon looked puzzled and somewhat displeased. "What I said wasn't wrong. I was just stating the facts."

Ying quickly covered Paimon's mouth and looked at the old man with a standard awkward smile, "The child is young and doesn't know any better, Grandpa, please don't take it to heart."

The old man shook his head and chuckled, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, what she said is just the truth."

Paimon broke free from Ying's hand. "See? I told you there was no problem, right? Su Mo is such a good person, his grandfather must also be a very kind and gentle person. How could he care about these details?"

Ying and Su Mo looked at Paimon in disbelief.

This is something Paimon would actually say!?

The old man chuckled, "Young people these days are quick-witted and have such pleasant manners."

Then he looked at Su Mo and asked, "Su Mo, who is this girl? Aren't you going to introduce her?" He then looked Ying up and down.

Ying unconsciously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and a blush crept onto her face.

A look of realization flashed across the old man's eyes, and he joked, "Judging by her appearance, could this be my granddaughter-in-law?"

Su Mo rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? He's just a friend of mine."

The old man's smile widened. "Really not?"

He, as someone with experience, had clearly seen everything from the other party's expression and their initial concern for the young man.

He still finds it hard to believe that the two people have a purely platonic friendship without any problems.

Before Su Mo could answer, Ying's face was already flushed red. She waved her hands and stammered, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I'm not his girlfriend. His girlfriend is waiting over there."

Hearing Ying's words, the old man's eyes showed some disappointment, but the next sentence rekindled hope in his eyes. Then, somewhat puzzled, he looked at Su Mo and asked nervously, "You have a girlfriend?"

Su Mo replied irritably, "Yes!"

"Really?!" The old man beamed, then looked at Su Mo with a hint of reproach, "You had it but didn't tell me?! You made me get so angry?"

Su Mo said helplessly, "I just wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew you would keep nagging like this."

The old man clicked his tongue. "See? That's why I said you don't know how to take care of or comfort people. If you don't tell me, I'll get anxious. What's there to hide? Just tell me what you need to say."

The old man looked at Ying, "Girl, you just said his girlfriend is waiting over there, right?"

"Huh?" Ying's face was still flushed. She quickly nodded when she realized what was happening. "Yes, that's right. We're waiting over there."

The old man felt relieved, slapped his thigh, and took Su Mo's hand, laughing, "Hurry up, hurry up, let me go see whose daughter she is, what she looks like, we can't keep them waiting!" With that, he pulled Su Mo and hurried forward.

Su Mo felt somewhat helpless as the old man pulled her along. "She can't run away, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Nonsense!" The old man frowned, somewhat exasperated. "You're making that young lady wait so long. What if she gets angry with you? If she really runs away, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Su Mo covered her forehead. "She won't care about that. Besides, your legs aren't very strong these days, why run so fast?"

Based on his understanding of Yun Jin, he knew she wouldn't be too concerned about such matters.

The old man raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "What do you know? This is a matter of attitude! If she doesn't care, that's fine with her. But we still need to show some respect, otherwise people will think our Su family is deliberately being disrespectful. Hurry up and go..."

Su Mo had just given him a hard time about this, and now he'd pulled another stunt, completely piquing his interest. Knowing his granddaughter-in-law was ahead, how could he possibly have the patience to wait any longer?

And so, as Su Mo argued back, the old man pulled her arm and led her away.

Looking at the bustling crowd on their way, Zhen shook his head and chuckled.

The two had a cold war after arguing, and although the old man took the initiative to ease the tension, there was still some distance between them.

The arrival of Ying and Paimon acted as a lubricant, temporarily allowing the two to put their previous displeasure aside and unite against a common enemy.

Sometimes, family members don't need to be so calculating; what's often needed is a suitable way to make amends.

……

Compared to Su Mo's lively and hurried journey, Yun Jin and Hu Tao were somewhat worried.

"Why hasn't Su Mo come back yet? Could it be that I gave him too much of a task?" Hu Tao frowned slightly, pinching her chin with one hand, and looked in the direction where Su Mo disappeared, somewhat puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Although those kids were indeed a bit naughty and embarrassed me, it shouldn't be difficult for Su Mo. Why would it take so much time?"

Sitting to the side, Yun Jin looked at Hu Tao pacing back and forth in front of her and said helplessly, "You're making me dizzy."

“But I’m a little worried about him,” Hu Tao stamped her foot, feeling somewhat guilty. “After all, you’re here to help me solve my problem. If something happens, I’ll definitely feel very guilty, very guilty.”

Just like her grandfather, he would sometimes do dangerous things to make her happy. Even now, when she thinks about the last days of her grandfather's life, she feels somewhat guilty.

If, if she could have done better, wouldn't that be...?

This happened because she rarely comes to Wuwangpo, as it evokes some unpleasant memories for her.

If her actions cause harm to a close friend, then she would be guilty beyond redemption.

"If Su Mo really gets into trouble, then I, then I..."

Thinking of this, Hu Tao became anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yun Jin quickly interjected, "Pah! Pah! Pah! What discouraging things you're saying!"

Yun Jin said coldly, "You really want something to happen to him? That way you can legitimately arrange his funeral?"

"You!" Hu Tao was speechless for a moment, then snorted coldly and hurriedly explained, "You know that's not what I meant."

Seeing the other person's expression, Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh. She pulled Hu Tao over and gently stroked her head. "Alright, alright, I know you're worried about him, but you know what kind of person he is. Who can do anything to him here? Besides, Ying went to find her, so don't worry!"

Yun Jin knew what Hu Tao was thinking. Having experienced loss herself and knowing the pain it caused, she hoped others wouldn't suffer the same fate. If something happened to someone because of her, Hu Tao would probably remember it for the rest of her life.

In this respect, she is somewhat similar to Su Mo.

After listening to Yun Jin's words, Hu Tao nodded emphatically, then looked in Su Mo's direction with hopeful eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked in that direction.

Although she just said she was not worried, how could he, as Su Mo's girlfriend, not have any concerns at all?

……

Just as Hu Tao was about to wander back and forth again.

"Hey! Walnut! Cloud Violet!" Paimon's voice called out as it drew nearer.

"That's great!" Hu Tao exclaimed with delight, her previous melancholy vanishing as she looked at Yun Jin with excitement. "Yun Jin, look, it's Ying and Su Mo!"

Yun Jin smiled and nodded, then stood up to greet everyone.

Su Mo's side

The old man spotted two figures from afar: one serene and dignified, the other youthful and energetic.

As for that lively figure, how could he not recognize him?

It was none other than Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall.

Since it's a walnut, then the quiet and dignified girl next to it must be the girlfriend that Su Mo mentioned, right?

Thinking of this, the old man gradually slowed his pace.

Su Mo sensed something was wrong and looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

"Why did you stop? We're almost there," Su Mo asked.

He couldn't help but ask, because the old man's behavior was quite different. He had just rushed back in a hurry, clamoring to see his granddaughter-in-law, but when it came time to actually see her, he hesitated.

The old man ignored Su Mo, released her hand, straightened his clothes, and, under Su Mo's puzzled gaze, slowly said, "What's the panic! You've seen them, how could they run away?"

Su Mo rolled her eyes, wondering who had just said they could escape.

As if noticing Su Mo's expression, the old man finished tidying up and then casually straightened Su Mo's clothes, which made Su Mo feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he hadn't been treated like this by the old man for many years, and he didn't understand the old man's mysterious actions.

As the old man straightened Su Mo's sleeves, he advised, "Don't rush. It's your first meeting, so be more composed."

Su Mo was also helpless about this. It felt like the words weren't spoken to him, but rather to the old man himself.

After all, he and Yun Jin are so familiar with each other, why should he be so careful?

"The ugly daughter-in-law is meeting her in-laws, no! It's her grandfather! Hahaha..." she quipped aptly.

“You’re the ugly one! Jin Bao’er is very pretty!” Su Mo retorted.

Zhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, you're right, Xiao Mo'er! But it's not like I'm the one seeing it, why should I be in such a hurry? Don't you think so?"

Su Mo ignored the somewhat neurotic Zhen and instead looked at the old man, "Is this alright? We're not going to do anything important."

The old man paused for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Do you see anything wrong? It's a pity I look like this; I hope it won't frighten people."

Su Mo chuckled, "Oh! She came with me. I've seen plenty of cases like this before. Besides, most people don't even get to see their granddaughter-in-law after they die. This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Old man, don't worry, everything's fine, very fine!"

Hearing this, the old man finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had been rushing to see his granddaughter-in-law before. Now that the time was almost up, he felt a little nervous.

After all, he represented Su Mo's elders, so he needed to be composed and not give the young lady a bad impression of the Su family.

"Let's go!" The old man gave the order and led Su Mo toward Yun Jin. His expression was so firm that he looked just like a brave warrior about to die for his country.

Seeing this, Su Mo shook his head and chuckled. Is it the granddaughter-in-law meeting the grandfather, or the grandfather meeting the granddaughter-in-law?
