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

Su Mo was pulled by Shen He and walked on the path in the mountains. Looking at his held hand, Su Mo felt an indescribable embarrassment in his heart. He didn't know the intention of Shen He's action, but he didn't resist.

"Senior Sister, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?"

"Hmph, what's wrong with that? Is it okay to put you in a dilemma?" Shen He said coldly.

Su Mo was speechless for a moment. Admittedly, Shen He's actions could indeed help him out, and doing so would also prevent his answer from causing displeasure with the two True Lords.

"Well, thank you for what happened just now, Senior Sister."

"You're welcome." Shen He pulled Su Mo and continued walking forward.

"Um... Senior Sister, where are we going?" Su Mo asked. After all, Shen He had been pulling him down the mountain, but had not mentioned where they were going for such a long time.

Shen He heard this and said calmly: "It's okay, I just feel uncomfortable, go downstairs and take a walk."

Haha, Su Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.

I feel uncomfortable, it seems like I am the one being targeted.

He tried to pull out his tightly grasped hand, but found it was being held even tighter. Su Mo looked helpless: "Senior Sister, we are already far away from the top of the mountain. My hand..."

Shen He didn't say much, but instead held Su Mo's hand tightly, with no sign of letting go.

Seeing this, Su Mo tried to resist, but it was of no avail. Knowing Shen He's temper, he just let her do what she wanted.

Seeing this, Zhen teased, "Su Mo, you are so lucky."

Su Mo didn't know how to answer.

The mountains are very cool at night. On the way down the mountain, there are fluorescent dots, which are fireflies flying around at night. The stone ambers on the roadside, as tall as people, create a strange atmosphere under the embellishment of moonlight and fluorescence. The cool breeze blows, bringing bursts of chill, as if to freeze people, but the faint warmth in the hands seems to give a silent comfort.

After a while, Shen He stopped halfway up the mountain. He seemed to be tired and pulled Su Mo to sit on a huge rock.

Su Mo looked at Shen He's profile with some confusion.

"Didn't you say you were going down the mountain?"

Shen He shook his head and didn't say anything. He just stared at the fluorescent lights flashing in the sky in a trance.

Su Mo felt helpless when he saw this.

Sister, just tell me what you want to do. How can I know if you don’t tell me?

Also, could you please let go of my hand? It feels so awkward.

Just when Su Mo was feeling annoyed, suddenly, his hand was released. A hint of surprise flashed in Su Mo's eyes and he looked at Shen He with some surprise.

"Do you think I'm annoying?" Shen He's voice was soft yet sharp, as if it penetrated the tranquility of the night.

Su Mo shook his head subconsciously: "No, no, Senior Sister is usually very nice to me, but sometimes, she doesn't express her thoughts, which makes it difficult for people to guess."

Shen He smiled slightly: "Really? So this is how you see me in your heart?"

Su Mo shook his head and smiled: "If Senior Sister doesn't mind me speaking the truth, then that's it."

Shen He nodded and did not refute Su Mo's words: "Is that so? Then do you think such people are strange?"

Su Mo frowned. "No, everyone has their own personality. Some are extroverted, some are introverted. This is all normal. There's nothing strange about it. Besides, in my eyes, Senior Sister just can't express her emotions. There's nothing wrong with that."

Su Mo's answer warmed Shen He's heart. She cast her eyes towards the flickering fluorescent lights in the night sky and asked softly, "Look, is it beautiful?"

Su Mo looked at the fireflies floating in the air with some confusion, but still replied: "Beautiful"

"Then...what about this?" Shen He pointed to the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the stars all over the sky.

"Ye Mei, what's wrong?"

"Then tell me, are they happy?" Shen He pointed at the fluorescent light in front of him again.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Look, although they are also emitting light, this light is so small and insignificant compared to the stars and the moon. Do you think they will be happy to see such light?"

"Well... compared with moonlight, moonlight is definitely brighter, and fluorescence is tiny. Although fluorescence is weak, it is also emitting its own light. Just like the people in the world, although there are still gaps between people, those ordinary people are also emitting their own light. Although it is insignificant, it sometimes has its own meaning." Su Mo stared at Shen He's cheek as he spoke. Of course, he heard the key to Shen He's question. This fluorescence refers to herself, and moonlight refers to other people.

"My own meaning?" Shen He murmured.

"Then what is your significance, Su Mo?"

Su Mo frowned slightly as he fell into deep thought. After a moment, he calmed down and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's to fulfill a promise to someone, and then find a partner to live an ordinary life."

Hearing this, the corners of Su Mo's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Good boy, it’s not in vain that I love you.

"What about you, senior sister?"

"Me?" Shen He smiled bitterly. "I should be practicing in the mountains and living alone until the end of my life. I have no partner, nothing. All I have is the practice of immortal arts and the company of my master."

Su Mo nodded seriously: "Yeah, it sounds worse than me."

Su Mo's serious expression made Shen He laugh. "Why? So you're proud of it?"

Su Mo said calmly, "Of course not. At least I can still live happily for myself for a while, while some people can only live alone for the rest of their lives. How can I not be proud?"

Shen He shook her head after listening to this and didn't say anything else. Of course, she heard that Su Mo was pointing at her, but she didn't know how to respond.

As if he had read Shen He's mind, Su Mo stood up, dusted off his butt, looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance and said calmly, "Senior Sister, do you think a person's initial experience is that important?"

"Isn't it important? If it wasn't important, there wouldn't be so many people who dislike it. Although no one points fingers at me when I go down the mountain, I can see the strangeness and disgust in their eyes." Shen He's voice was bitter.

After hearing this, Su Mo frowned slightly. What does this have to do with your experience? They don’t know.

Also, are you sure it’s not because of your figure and looks?

Su Mo sighed and looked at Shen He seriously: "What if someone doesn't mind your past?"

Shen He remained silent, just staring blankly.

"Look, you said you despise yourself because someone cares about your past. But you also despise yourself because someone doesn't care about your past. Tell me, is this because you can't get over the hurdle in your heart?"

Shen He was speechless after hearing this and wanted to refute: "But, but..."

"But you don't think you're worthy, right?"

Shen He nodded silently.

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. It seemed that Shen He was still brooding over her life experience and fate.

This kind of problem is a mental issue and it's not easy to fix it unless you rely on yourself.

"Sister, no one has a smooth journey from the beginning, and every experience we have will become the cornerstone of our progress. Look, when I first came to Master Lishui, he beat me up every day, until I was almost dead and bleeding profusely. Sometimes I felt like giving up when I couldn't hold on any longer, but do you know why I persevered?"

"Why?" Shen He was also puzzled by this, because even she couldn't bear to see Su Mo's miserable condition at that time, let alone Su Mo who had experienced it personally. She also found it incredible that Su Mo could persist until now.

"Because I see myself getting stronger slowly." Su Mo said as he walked to a big tree, gathered his strength and punched, and the leaves fluttered down.

Su Mo grabbed a leaf, looked at it, and said slowly, "Throughout those tortures, I found myself getting better and better. This feeling was like a glimmer of hope during that dark period. I persevered and persevered until I became who I am today." His voice was filled with relief and hope. "Everything has cracks. That's where the light shines through. I missed the sunset and the starry sky. Life is full of regrets, but if you keep going, the day will always come."

Hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Shen He's eyes: "Then...what if Lishui Zhenjun really just wanted to beat you up at that time, and your strength didn't improve as a result."

Su Mo shrugged: "Then? Then I can only consider myself unlucky, and then find an opportunity to run away, and then find someone to settle the score with when I go back.

"A guy?"

"Yes, a guy who eats without paying." Su Mo said confidently.

After saying that, Su Mo suddenly asked a question: "Senior Sister, are you happy now?"

Shen He was a little puzzled, but he still thought seriously: "It should be happy."

"why?"

"Because now I have not only you, but also Master, Senior Sister, and all the True Lords. Although Master often says one thing and means another, at least she has always been with me since I was a child, without any disdain. Not to mention the True Lords, as for you..."

Shen He said seriously, "It can be quite interesting sometimes."

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "Well, I'm here trying my best to enlighten you, but in the end, all I get in return is a very interesting sentence."

Shen He smiled awkwardly after hearing this.

"Then, Senior Sister, why do you become like this?"

"What do you mean by that?"

“It’s the relationships we have now.”

Shen He frowned slightly: "I don't know either, maybe it's because you saved me from the hands of the devil and accepted me as your disciple. If it weren't for my master, I might have died in that cave long ago." Although she was still frowning, there seemed to be a hint of comfort in her tone.

Su Mo seemed to have heard the answer he wanted and became excited: "Right, it was because of your childhood experiences that you met Master and the other True Lords, and that's how you got to know the very interesting me. But if those terrible things hadn't happened, would you have met us?"

He continued, "I think it's highly unlikely. Those things have already happened, and dwelling on them won't help. But it's precisely because of those experiences that you are who you are today."

Su Mo took a deep breath and said slowly: "So, the meaning of experience is to guide you, not to define you. Maybe your story does not start with happiness, but this does not determine what kind of person you will become. What matters is your own choice." Su Mo's face was full of seriousness.

“See this fluorescent light?”

"Hmm?" Shen He suddenly looked up and stared at the light that Su Mo was pointing at. His gaze slowly moved along with the light until it disappeared.

Shen He blinked in confusion, not knowing what Su Mo wanted to express.

At this time, Su Mo said: "That fluorescent light just now was very beautiful, did you see it?"

"Yeah, I saw it, but didn't it dissipate?"

"Yes, it was there just now, but now it has dissipated. Sister, isn't your experience just like this fluorescent light? Although the pain still exists, that was in the past. What's important is now, isn't it?"

Shen He looked at the fluorescent light drifting before him thoughtfully, thoughts flashing through his eyes, and finally turned into a sigh: "I understand. Thank you..."

Su Mo nodded when he saw this.

It seemed that he succeeded, and his tense mood finally relaxed.

A feeling of relief and pride came over me.

"Sure, Su Mo, I didn't expect you to say such philosophical words."

"Hehe, keep a low profile. I learned this from Aunt Zhen."

"Haha, you're such a chatterbox. Although some of what you said is not correct, overall it's still very good."

"Yeah, I think so too." After getting real recognition, Su Mo felt more and more relaxed.

He looked at Shen He in front of him: "Senior Sister?"

"Hmm?" Shen He was a little confused.

"Let's go, the night tour isn't over yet, do you want to join us?"

Shen He was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yeah!"

Su Mo smiled slightly and said, "Let's go," and then he walked down the mountain.

Shen He looked at Su Mo's back, and for some reason, an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart. Was it happiness? She didn't know, but this feeling seemed to be good.
