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

Just as Su Mo and the old man were tidying up their clothes, the commotion on Su Mo's side naturally did not escape the notice of Yun Jin, Hu Tao, and the others.

"Who is that person next to Su Mo?" Yun Jin looked at Hu Tao, because she felt that Su Mo's attitude towards that person seemed somewhat respectful—he was adjusting his clothes and laughing heartily.

Hu Tao's face stiffened, and she slapped her forehead. "Oh my god, I forgot!"

"What's wrong?" Yun Jin asked.

Hu Tao was on the verge of tears. She looked at Yun Jin, scratched her head awkwardly, and looked very embarrassed.

In that sense, it was her fault.

"Tell me, could it be that the person next to him has a special identity?" Yun Jin frowned slightly.

Hu Tao was so worried about Su Mo when he wasn't back yet, so why is he being so hesitant now that he's back?

"Well, well..." Hu Tao stammered, "It seems so, it is indeed a bit special. It doesn't matter to me, but I just forgot... Don't say I'm disloyal, there's still time."

"Fine, just tell me what happened!" Yun Jin said, somewhat annoyed and anxious.

Suddenly, Yun Jin remembered something.

This is the boundary between life and death at the Hall of Rebirth, the Slope of No Delusion...

Su Mo respected that person...

Hu Tao said she had connections and shouldn't blame her... and added that it was somewhat special, but to Hu Tao, it wasn't anything special...

A bold idea surfaced in Yun Jin's mind, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. She looked up again at the face of the dark blue figure, who appeared to be an elderly man...

Yun Jin was startled by her own thought. She covered her mouth with her delicate hand and looked at the stammering Hu Tao with a probing gaze. She cautiously asked, "You, you don't mean to say that that person is Su Mo's, Su Mo's grandfather?"

“Um…” Hu Tao hesitated for a moment, “Yes, Su Mo’s grandfather.”

Hu Tao's answer struck Yun Jin like a bolt from the blue, almost making her faint.

After the initial calm, a wave of anxiety and shame washed over her, as if she were facing imminent death: "Oh dear! How could you forget this? You brat!"

Yun Jin looked at Hu Tao with disappointment and, in a moment of desperation, gently pinched Hu Tao's arm.

Hu Tao winced in pain. "Ouch! How can you blame me! I just had too many things to do! I forgot! Instead of blaming me, you should think about how to deal with it," she complained, sounding a little aggrieved.

When she arrived at Wuwangpo, Su Mo's grandfather asked her about Su Mo's situation, but because he was in a hurry at the time, he didn't mention Yun Jin's matter much.

Besides, she didn't forget on purpose; it was those bratty kids who made her forget such an important matter.

That wretched brat.

Just as Hu Tao was complaining about the naughty child, Yun Jin was pacing back and forth anxiously.

At that moment, Ying and Paimon walked over.

Yun Jin felt as if she had met a savior and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Is the person next to Su Mo his grandfather?"

Ying and Paimon paused for a moment, glanced at the two who were adjusting their clothes, and nodded affirmatively, "Yeah. Hey? How did you know?"

The two people's answers extinguished Yun Jin's illusions completely. Originally, she still held onto hope, thinking that she was just overthinking things or that Hu Tao had misjudged. But Ying's confirmation forced her to admit that the person's identity.

At this moment, the previously calm and composed Mr. Yun completely disappeared, replaced by a granddaughter-in-law who was about to meet her elders, looking impatient and agitated.

She originally thought that Su Mo had no elders, so he wouldn't have to go through the hurdle of meeting his parents-in-law.

As for Ningguang, she's just an adopted sister; they're not related by blood, so there's no need to be overly afraid of her.

Who would have thought that such a great responsibility would be bestowed upon this person?

I wish she hadn't come!

Yun Jin was on the verge of tears, restless and pacing back and forth. After being comforted by Hu Tao, she finally sat down, but then she remembered something.

Didn't someone see that casual way she acted just now? Who knows what they're thinking? Are they saying this girl has no proper posture?

Thinking of this, Yun Jin stood up again, clenched her fists, and her eyes were full of anxiety and regret. She shouldn't have acted so unladylike just now.

Then, as if remembering something, he glared at Hu Tao again.

They have Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall, so at least they should give this girl some information so she can be prepared!

Yun Jin's gaze puzzled Hu Tao.

Didn't we agree to move on and not hold a grudge?

Seeing Yun Jin's appearance, Ying and Paimeng hurriedly asked what had happened.

After hearing Hu Tao's explanation, the two of them were somewhat helpless.

How can you avoid this? It's already out in the open, you can't just ignore it.

Looking at Yun Jin wandering around aimlessly, and then at the two people tidying up their clothes, Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; there was still time.

Ying stepped forward, grabbed Yun Jin, turned her around, placed her hand on her shoulder, and commanded, "Look me in the eyes and calm down!"

Their eyes met, and Yun Jin instinctively tried to look away, but the familiar commanding tone came again in her ear, "Look me in the eyes!"

Yun Jin had no choice but to obey Ying's command. Looking into the other's determined eyes, her anxiety lessened slightly, and she stopped moving around.

Seeing this, Ying nodded and looked at Yun Jin, "Listen to me, Yun Jin, we still have a chance, we're not just sitting here waiting to die! Look, they're still far away from us."

Yun Jin then followed Ying's gaze to the two of them. The two were still some distance away, which meant they still had time.

"Yun Jin, listen to me! I know you might be a little nervous facing Su Mo's family because it's your first time, but don't be afraid! They're not scary at all!"

"Think about Su Mo. He likes you so much. If it were him, wouldn't he also want to introduce you to his grandfather? And wouldn't he also want his grandfather to like you?"

“Yes, yes, and Su Mo’s grandfather is very kind, just like Su Mo, there’s nothing to be afraid of!” Paimon chimed in.

After listening to Ying and Paimon's words, Yun Jin's emotions eased, and her tense nerves began to relax slowly.

Seeing this, Ying looked into Yun Jin's beautiful eyes and smiled, "The Mr. Yun I know is gentle and calm, he wouldn't be so anxious..."

"To put it bluntly, his grandfather has passed away. It's a rare opportunity to see him now, so shouldn't he be happy? Why be afraid or panicked? It might just be this once in a lifetime, so shouldn't he make sure he doesn't have any regrets? So don't be afraid, you're not alone, we and Su Mo are here for you!"

“Yes! We’re all here!” Hu Tao and Paimon cheered.

Seeing everyone's encouragement, Yun Jin's anxious heart finally began to calm down.

"Everyone..." Yun Jin took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and smiled, "I understand, I was too concerned, thank you..."

Because you care, you become especially flustered.

With Ying's comfort, Yun Jin's mood gradually calmed down, and her thoughts slowly began to take over the high ground of her intelligence.

Yun Jin touched her forehead and gently smoothed her hair. She looked at the two people opposite her and then examined her own attire. It was the same as usual, the same purple stockings and dress, but she was a little more conservative for the sake of movement.

Looking at these, Yun Jin felt somewhat uneasy and secretly regretted her actions.

Why did you wear this outfit today?!

Although it was much easier to travel, she still looked like an ordinary girl, and didn't look dignified or elegant at all. At least changing into the clothes she wore when she confessed her feelings would give her some comfort.

Ying seemed to sense her hesitation and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yun Jin is very beautiful now, you can't tell anything's wrong with her, don't you think?"

“Yes, yes!” Paimon chimed in, “Yun Jin, you’re already so beautiful. Even I, a girl, am almost smitten. Do you think Grandpa won’t approve of you as his granddaughter-in-law?”

Hu Tao chuckled, "Although it was my fault, I completely agree with what Paimon and Ying said!"

Hu Tao patted Yun Jin on the shoulder, "Su Mo's grandfather saw you as a person, not your clothes. And it's already good enough that he saw you. As for those material things, what's more important than your granddaughter-in-law!" Hu Tao said with a teasing smile.

"It's not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be," Yun Jin muttered, her pretty face flushing. "But I still think it might look better if we could change into something else."

This outfit was something she knew all too well, and she liked it. But for meeting Su Mo's grandfather, it might be a little disappointing.

"They're almost here!" Hu Tao suddenly said. She had forgotten to tell Yun Jin to be prepared before, but this time she was keeping a close eye on the other side's every move.

The girls looked over and saw that the two men had finished preparing and were talking about something.

"What to do? What to do?"

Yun Jin's calm mind was immediately shattered, and a sense of tension surged back into her heart, causing her small hands to break out in a cold sweat.

"It's okay, it's okay, relax, relax, baby..." Ying hurriedly comforted Yun Jin.

Yun Jin turned around and asked, "Take a look, is there anything wrong with it?"

Everyone quickly and carefully examined Yun Jin from head to toe. After confirming that everything was perfect, they nodded emphatically, "Very beautiful! Excellent, there's not a single flaw!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jin's panic subsided somewhat.

Seeing this, Hu Tao suggested, "Since we're all ready, let's go greet them. We can't keep our elders waiting, can we?"

Yun Jin looked up at the two people who were still talking, nodded, her face solemn, and was about to step out.

"Oh dear!" Ying pulled Yun Jin back. "Yun Jin, don't be so alarmed. Otherwise, Grandpa will think you have a problem with him."

"Huh? Then, what should we do?"

"You should smile," Hu Tao suggested helplessly. "Even if you don't smile, you don't have to have such a cold face, otherwise everyone will be unhappy to see you like that."

Ying and Paimon nodded in agreement.

"But I'm also very nervous," Yun Jin said, somewhat embarrassed. She knew she should greet the two of them with a smile, but this feeling was really hard for her to control.

"Don't overthink it, just take it easy. We're all here, and even if you're nervous, Su Mo will definitely smooth things over for you! Don't worry, just be your usual calm and collected self. Come on, smile~."

Hu Tao stretched out her fingers to lift Yun Jin's lips, took a step back, crossed her arms, and nodded, "As expected of me personally taking action, it was absolutely perfect!"

Ying looked at Yun Jin, whose smile seemed somewhat forced, and couldn't help but cover her forehead.

This is far from perfect; anyone with eyes can see it. It feels like being forced into something unnecessarily.

Ying sighed softly, "Yun Jin, you don't need to be so nervous. Just treat Grandpa Su Mo as an elder. He's not going to eat you, so there's no point in being so nervous."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jin nodded helplessly.

"Oh, they're here!" Hu Tao reminded them.

Su Mo and the old man were ready and slowly strolled over.

"Go for it! Go for it!" Hu Tao whispered encouragingly.

"Don't worry, you're already very beautiful! There won't be any problems!" Ying affirmed.

"I'll go greet them!" As he spoke, Paimon had already overtaken the girls and rushed towards the two.

Paimon approached Su Mo and the old man, smiling broadly, and said, "Why are you taking so long? We've been waiting for you for ages."

Su Mo chuckled softly but remained silent.

The old man smiled and said, "I'm getting old, so I naturally walk a little slower. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, no!" Paimon waved his hand. "Grandpa is an elder, so it's only right that we wait a bit. Besides, how could we make Grandpa wait for us? Look, they've already come to greet you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo looked at Paimon in disbelief.

Is this something Paimon, someone of his level, could say?!

The gesture was impeccable, showing both respect for the grandfather and giving him face by welcoming him. It was a perfect display of the younger generation's manners.

Noticing Su Mo's surprised gaze, Paimon smiled smugly.

Judging from Su Mo's expression, he's clearly captivated by the grand style and demeanor of Lord Meng from my faction.

In fact, these were the words that the group had already agreed upon before Paimon arrived; she was just borrowing them.

Hearing Paimon's words, the old man looked ahead and saw three people slowly approaching, their identities quite obvious.

On the left is Hu Tao, on the right is the girl named Ying, so the one in the middle should be Yun Jin.

Led by Paimon, the two then headed towards where the girls would meet up.

The old man walked very slowly, not only because he was nervous, but also because he had other ulterior motives.

He knew that the news he received would inevitably reach the other party, and Su Mo had already told him everything about the girl along the way.

Previously, he was just an old man who had already passed away in the eyes of the other party. Now that the other party is standing right in front of him, it would be unreasonable to say that he has no emotions.

So I slowed down, firstly to give myself some buffer time, and secondly to let the girl be mentally prepared.

After all, I went there in a panic. What if the other party felt that I, as an elder, had acted improperly?

Just as the old man was sizing up the girl, the girl was also sizing up the old man.

Yun Jin subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look at the familiar Su Mo, but she stopped herself.

Because that would be impolite.

As the two figures drew closer, Yun Jin's panic intensified.

Although her face remained expressionless, Yun Jin felt her heart racing, the thumping of her heart echoing around her.

As the two strolled towards her, each step light and silent, it seemed as if every step was pressing on her heart, oppressive and urgent.

In her memory, Yun Jin had never felt this nervous, even when she performed on stage for the first time. This time, she was the one who was passively approached by the other party.

Yun Jin, Yun Jin, don't panic! Don't panic!

Yun Jin comforted herself.

Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. If we keep acting coy and fussy, we'll only make ourselves look bad and lose face.

Moreover, she didn't want to lose face in front of Su Mo's family and be labeled negatively.

Yun Jin clasped her hands together in front of her, her fingers turning white from the tension, but her face remained calm and her smile unchanged.

Noticing the panic and fidgeting in the other person's eyes, the old man smiled knowingly, but his expression remained unchanged. He only praised her in his heart, "This girl is quite composed!"

Finally, the two sides met.
