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

"Inazuma will not participate in Liyue's pressure on Zhidong."

"But you will try to add fuel to the fire and intensify the conflict behind the scenes, right?" Su Mo continued.

Kamisato Ayato smiled but said nothing.

"You're so calculating! I really thought I only needed to do one thing for you. Who knew you were really after my life from the beginning to the end?"

Kamisato Ayato shook his head, a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

"I said I would protect Brother Su. I never break my promise. I'm not a cold-blooded conspirator. If I can avoid unnecessary sacrifice, I will certainly do my best to keep you safe."

"Besides, you have five copies of your Liyue credentials, not four. Even if you were captured, the Fatui would be mindful of Liyue's concerns and wouldn't do anything to Brother Su. But this time... I really didn't expect it."

There was a hint of surprise and regret in his words, and he seemed to be somewhat surprised by the development of the matter.

"I didn't expect that Dotona was a lunatic?"

"I didn't expect Ling Hua to appear there?

"I still didn't expect that even the Yae Godson couldn't do anything to Totona?"

There was a hint of heaviness and confusion in Su Mo's voice.

Kamisato Ayato was silent for a moment, then responded in a low voice: "All of them"

As the two talked, they gradually climbed to the top of the mountain. There was a hint of coolness in the early morning air. The morning sun slowly rose from the distance, and its light gradually covered the earth.

Su Mo looked at the scene in front of him and said with some loneliness:

"Brother Ayato, do you think this operation is worth it?"

Kamisato Ayato sighed deeply and shook his head:

"I don't know... If possible, I would rather not have this operation."

"Because of Ling Hua?"

Su Mo asked softly.

"Um……"

Kamisato Ayato nodded, his eyes fixed on the distance

The two stood on the top of the mountain, silent and looking at the rising sun quietly, feeling a little more desolate.

In the silence on the mountaintop, time seemed to freeze. After a long while, Kamisato Ayato broke the silence and slowly spoke: "Su Mo, you know, after this incident, I truly understand the heart-wrenching pain of losing a family member."

"When my parents passed away, I was still young and didn't have such a deep understanding. But when Linghua's life was hanging by a thread, I suddenly felt like the world was falling."

"The carefully thought-out plans, the development of Kamisato's family, Inazuma's future... at that moment, none of these were important to me anymore."

"At that time, I had only one thought in my mind..."

"That is to hope that Linghua can be safe and live a good life..."

Kamisato Ayato's tone was filled with loneliness and regret.

After his parents left, Kamisato and his sister were the only ones left in the huge Kamisato family. He had already regarded his sister as a part of his life, an indispensable part.

The heart-wrenching pain Ling Hua felt when he was on the verge of death still echoed in his mind, tearing at his heart that was on the verge of breaking.

He couldn't imagine what extreme things he would do if Linghua really got into trouble because of this.

"I can understand. I've had that experience myself..."

Su Mo sighed, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

He couldn't help but think of the time when his grandfather passed away. Although he was a second-born human, the years they spent together and the care and love he received were all real. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel sad.

There is only one person left in this huge house. People who have not experienced it will never understand the emptiness and loneliness.

It's like, you go on a trip far away, he waits for you at home, when you return home, he has gone out to travel, coming and going, always missing each other, never meeting again.

That kind of sadness is never the ups and downs of emotions when something happens, but a sudden outburst at a certain point afterwards.

The two stood side by side on the top of the mountain, their figures illuminated by the morning glow, but the brilliant light seemed unable to dispel the haze in their hearts.

The atmosphere was gloomy and depressing between the two people. They each bore the burden and pain in their lives, but they also found a trace of comfort in this resonance.

"When are you leaving Inazuma?"

"Maybe in a few days..."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

As Kamisato Ayato was about to leave, he stopped again, but did not look back. There was a hint of pleading in his voice:

"By the way, don't mention this to Ling Hua. I still hope she can live a carefree life."

"Um……"

Su Mo responded softly.

Kamisato Ayato seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed deeply:

"It's better to go back to Liyue as soon as possible. Maybe someone is waiting for you there. Don't let the waiting become a regret..."

As Kamisato Ayato's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Su Mo stood alone on the top of the mountain, watching the rising sun.

He put his hands behind his back, his eyes deep as he looked into the distance:

"Regret? Maybe it's time to go back..."

……

On the path down the mountain, Su Mo's steps seemed a little heavy.

Looking at Su Mo's depressed look, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Su Mo, look at your aunt. Although she has passed away for hundreds of years, she has never complained. How old are you, and you have already started sighing and grumbling about life all day long?" Zhen consoled him.

Su Mo smiled helplessly.

"Auntie Zhen, you don't understand..."

I really feel disdain for this.

"Oh, I don't understand? I'm in this state now, can you understand as well as I do?"

Su Mo smiled slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Hey? Aunt Zhen, have you really never experienced the pain of losing loved ones?"

Su Mo asked doubtfully.

"Nonsense, of course I have, but so what?"

"Every separation in life leaves scars. But scars always heal, just like the seasons change, winter goes and spring comes."

Su Mo listened quietly in silence.

Zhen took a deep breath and continued:

"Those who have passed away have gone their way, but we still have our days to live. Should we give up the beauty of life just because of the pain? I think, no."

"How do you say that?"

"The living are just passing travelers, and the dead are also returning home. Besides, I am still half dead."

"Oh, Aunt Zhen, I think you have the talent to be a poet. The first time you open your mouth you come up with famous lines that have been passed down through the ages." Su Mo praised.

Hearing Su Mo's praise, I couldn't help but feel more confident.

"That's right. After all, I, your real aunt, have lived for thousands of years. I've seen everything. Why would I be lamenting for a whole day about this?

It's just like your Liyue's Rock God Morax, who sighs all day long, as if someone owes him money, with a gloomy face all day long.

Look at Barbatos next door, he is happy every day and relatively speaking he has less wear and tear."

The real voice paused and continued.

"So, Su Mo, happiness is the source of life. Parting in life is like the rotation of the four seasons in nature. The four seasons overlap continuously throughout the year, which is a normal phenomenon.

Listening to the chirping of cicadas on a summer night, let our souls bathe in that tranquility;

After stepping through the winter snow, let us look forward to the arrival of spring.

Don’t forget the beauty of life because of a temporary setback. The most important thing is to live in this present moment.

As the saying goes, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift from God. You should cherish today as you cherish the gift. This is the attitude that life should have.

Look at it more positively, I still depend on you to survive."

After hearing this, Su Mo's eyes gleamed. He smiled and responded to Aunt Zhen's philosophy: "Hey, Aunt Zhen, what you said really makes sense. I have to take note of it."

Then, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said jokingly, "But I have to say, your last sentence sounds more like your true feelings."

Zhen, whose lie was exposed, didn't feel embarrassed and cleared her throat in a serious manner, but the smile she couldn't help betrayed her mood:

"Well, Su Mo, are you questioning your real aunt's wisdom? But you're right, if you died, my life would indeed be a lot less fun."

Hearing this, Su Mo nodded and laughed:

"Okay, even if it's just for Aunt Zhen, I will live well!"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Then... go down the mountain?"

"Get off the mountain!"

The breeze blew through the treetops, bringing bursts of fresh air and hearty laughter along the mountain road.

The laughter was clear and free, like an echo in a valley, echoing over and over again in the empty mountains and forests...
