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

Before anyone could speak, Hu Tao feigned concern and said, "You've finally arrived! I was worried something had happened to you all. It seems I was overthinking it." Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, Grandpa Su Mo, am I right? Is Su Mo alright now?" Hu Tao asked, her eyes crinkling as she looked at the old man.

The little girl's liveliness put the old man in a good mood. "Young Master Hu is right. I was the old man who worried too much before."

The old man then teased, "But little Hu, you're really not doing a very good job as the head of this hall. I've been stuck here for so long, and you still haven't noticed?"

Hu Tao rolled her eyes. "You're ruining the atmosphere, I'm not talking to you anymore!" she said, turning her head to the side, looking angry.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Yun Jin, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed a bit.

The old man laughed and said, "Alright, alright, it's just that this old man doesn't know how to speak properly. Shall I apologize to you?"

Hu Tao snorted coldly, then laughed and said, "Since you've sincerely apologized, I'll accept it. But next time, you're not allowed to say I'm incompetent!"

The old man smiled and nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Ying smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, we meet again. I'm Ying!"

The old man smiled and nodded, "My memory isn't that bad; I remember you."

The old man then looked at Yun Jin and asked, "Su Mo, who is this young lady? Aren't you going to introduce her?"

The old man looked at Su Mo with some displeasure.

Why is this kid so clueless about social situations?

They've already shown their faces, and you still expect the girl to introduce herself?

People can be shy too, so you should at least introduce them to someone.

Su Mo gave a wry smile. Faced with the old man's obvious question, he was about to step forward and introduce himself.

Unexpectedly, Yun Jin acted first, raising her hand to stop Su Mo.

Now that her identity is known, it's better for her to handle this herself.

Yun Jin looked at the old man and bowed respectfully, then smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa, my name is Yun Jin."

"Yun Jin?" the old man murmured twice. "Could she be a young lady from the Yun family of Liyue Opera? What is the relationship between the unknown opera singer, Master Yun, and you?"

Yun Jin smiled and nodded, "Grandpa is truly knowledgeable. It is the Yun family, and the eldest daughter of the Yun family is my mother."

The "Yun Dajia" the old man was referring to was naturally his mother.

The old man looked Yun Jin up and down with a smile and nodded. "As expected of her daughter, she is also very beautiful. I was fortunate enough to hear her perform twice back then. Her opera performances were truly captivating and lasted for three days. You are her daughter, so you must have inherited her opera skills."

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Grandpa, you flatter me. My mother only sang a few songs, which is far from worthy of such praise. As for Yun Jin, I am now a famous performer on stage in Liyue."

The old man was surprised. "Oh? Is that really so? The younger generation is truly formidable! Good, very good."

"It's not fair to say that the younger generation is to be feared. Grandpa is so old and still so healthy. If we were his age, we would probably not be as healthy as him."

The old man shook his head and chuckled, "It's just a lingering ghost, how can you call it robust?"

"Not at all, not at all. Grandpa is just worried about the younger generation. We really admire his sense of responsibility."

……

Hu Tao and the others initially watched the two talk with smiles on their faces, but as they listened, they looked blank and then frowned slightly.

Su Mo watched the two of them ask questions they already knew the answer to, suppressing a laugh.

And what an amazing conversation this is!

The old man asked Yun Jin some questions, which Yun Jin answered. Then the old man praised Yun Jin, but Yun Jin declined and instead praised the old man, who humbly sighed in admiration.

This process is repeated.

Just as Su Mo was about to end this divine conversation, the old man suddenly asked, "Mr. Yun, with your outstanding talent and unparalleled beauty, you must have many suitors in Liyue Harbor, right? Do you have someone you like now? If not, this old man would like to play matchmaker for you."

"To be honest, there are quite a few, but Yun Jin already has someone she likes, so Grandpa won't have to worry about it." Yun Jin's expression was somewhat solemn; she knew the old man was getting down to business.

"Oh? Is the person you're interested in from some prominent family in Liyue?"

Yun Jin nodded and shook her head slightly. "He's just an ordinary person."

The old man feigned surprise, "With Mr. Yun's qualifications, he could easily find a suitable husband, so why is he so fond of him?"

The old man shook his head with some regret, "If it were me, I probably wouldn't have Mr. Yun's courage. After all, if I were to get married in the future, my life might not be guaranteed."

Yun Jin smiled and shook her head. "Yun Jin's interest in him is not based on his family background or wealth, but on his character and our shared experiences."

Yun Jin paused for a moment, looked at Su Mo beside her, and said softly, "Putting aside his humble, gentle, and frugal nature, he doesn't admire others because of their wealth or power, nor does he bully others because of their weakness. Just his deep affection is something that Yun Jin admires. After getting to know him, I found that the two of them seem to have a lot in common, and they both attract each other."

"As the saying goes, 'Of all the waters in the world, I only drink from one.' Such a suitable person is hard to come by, but for Yun Jin, since she is moved, she should give it her all. Even if she doesn't succeed in the end, it won't be a regret."

"As things stand, he has already forged his own path, and Yun Jin is happy for him. Putting aside his high and powerful status, even as a commoner, the wealth and power of the Yun family can provide him with a lifetime of luxury and honor."

Yun Jin looked at the old man with bright eyes, "If we really have to go through thick and thin together, starting from scratch as Grandpa said, Yun Jin will never leave him. On the contrary, I think this experience is the most important foundation of our relationship. Moreover, living in harmony and raising children together is Yun Jin's lifelong wish!"

The old man nodded. "Truly, the younger generation is formidable! Such love is the envy of so many! But how many of them last from beginning to end?"

"Mr. Yun is also a man destined for great things. What if it conflicts with your aspirations for life? Besides, a strong woman and a weak man is not a good thing. A poor couple faces many sorrows. It's better to be cautious," the old man said, seemingly offering some words of comfort.

Yun Jin shook her head with a wry smile. "That's true. People change, and Yun Jin can't deny that. But ultimately, it's up to us, isn't it? If we run away from problems as soon as they arise, what future can we talk about?"

The old man raised an eyebrow. "So, Mr. Yun, have you already thought this through, or are you absolutely certain that things won't change in the future? If so, your confidence is a bit too much."

Yun Jin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Su Mo, and then at the old man, and said firmly, "I can't say for sure about others, but for me, if the two conflict, I am enough to handle it alone!"

"With everyone here, Yun Jin will keep her word!"

Yun Jin looked at Hu Tao, Ying, and the others. This sentence was not only her attitude towards Su Mo, but also a vow she made in front of everyone!

The old man smiled and shook his head. "This young girl really has guts!"

He had just been testing the waters, wanting to see Yun Jin's attitude towards Su Mo and her way of dealing with people, so that he could better understand this granddaughter-in-law he had never met.

Unexpectedly, the other party gave him a hard time instead.

Now that she has said this, with everyone present, if anything happens to her in the future, she will not only lose Su Mo, but also these friends. Even if nothing happens in the end, she will still be the subject of gossip.

This is her using her future reputation and connections to show him her stance.

Since they have already made their stance clear, we can't be too hesitant on our side.

"Su Mo! Did you hear that? They've done all that, aren't you going to do anything in return?" The old man glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo was about to say something when Yun Jin interrupted him.

"What do you want to say?" Yun Jin winked playfully, looking at him with a hint of teasing.

“Yun Jin, I…”

Su Mo was pulled to Yun Jin's side.

Yun Jin leaned close to Su Mo's ear and whispered, "I know what you want to say, but I'm here to see Grandpa today, so you can talk about it when we get back!"

Yun Jin knew that if it were Su Mo, he would definitely say a lot of embarrassing things. With so many people around, she also had to save face.

Seeing the two of them like this, the old man smiled helplessly.

Well, they're even whispering to each other now.

Su Mo felt a warm breath on her ear and felt a little impatient. Looking into the beautiful eyes so close to her, which were like two pools of autumn water, they were tender and reserved.

Su Mo held Yun Jin's hand tightly and looked at the old man, "Grandpa, let me formally introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Yun Jin!"

Yun Jin said apologetically, "Grandpa, I may have been a little rude just now, please forgive me!"

The old man nodded in approval, "It's not offensive at all, it couldn't be better. If someone else had said this, I might have been a little skeptical, since people's hearts are fickle, but when it's Yun'er, I can't help but believe her a little more!"

"Girl, you did a great job! If this kid doesn't treat you well in the future, I'll beat him up right now!"

"How can you tell now!"

Su Mo said with a hint of helplessness.

Yun Jin chuckled, "Su Mo treats me very well, Grandpa, you can rest assured."

Yun Jin frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. The old man noticed this and asked, "Girl, what do you want to say?"

Yun Jin was a little embarrassed. "Actually, Yun Jin also lied to Grandpa just now. The reason why Yun Jin was confident in saying those words was because I knew that if Yun Jin were just an ordinary woman, Su Mo would definitely not abandon me!"

Looking at the person before her, Yun Jin's vision gradually blurred, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yes

If I weren't so certain of the other person's feelings for me and their character, I wouldn't have had the confidence to say those words.

The old man was taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head. “What’s wrong with that? If you weren’t so outstanding, how could he possibly care about you so much? In my opinion, this is not a flaw at all, but rather proof that you are both wonderful people.”

There's no such thing as one person thinking the other is better; it's just that because both are good, people tend to think the other is better.
