Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Xinyang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His heart was filled with conflict and struggle. On the one hand, he desperately wanted to be closer to Linghua, but on the other hand, he was worried that he was being too aggressive, crossing the line between them, and making Linghua feel uncomfortable or even disgusted.

So, Xinyang took advantage of Linghua's inattention and secretly glanced at her. Without exception, Linghua was always lying quietly in bed, as if she had fallen asleep. Xinyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Never mind, this kind of thing can't be rushed, let it go."

Xinyang then gently turned over, trying not to think about the things that had made her heart race. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to calm her restless mood by regulating her breathing. However, just as she was about to fall asleep, a very slight sound suddenly reached her ears!

Xinyang's nerves instantly tensed, as if being pulled tightly by an invisible force. He instinctively opened his eyes and quickly scanned his surroundings. As expected, he saw Linghua, her back to him, her eyes slightly closed, her brows furrowed, as if troubled by something.

Xinyang's heartbeat quickened, and he was momentarily at a loss, his mind a mess. He wanted to ask Linghua if she had another nightmare, but he was worried about disturbing her rest. After a moment's inner struggle, Xinyang finally decided to gently pat Linghua's shoulder and asked softly, "Linghua, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?"

Linghua slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting Xinyang's concerned one. Feeling a surge of warmth wash over her, she gently shook her head and replied, "No, I just remembered something from the past."

Xinyang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and comforted her, "That's good. Stop thinking about it. You haven't had enough rest for many days. You should go to bed early." Just as he finished speaking, Xinyang suddenly realized that his hand was still on Linghua's shoulder! He quickly pulled his hand back and showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Linghua stared at Xinyang's changing expression, a hint of teasing in her eyes, "What's wrong? Are you... shy?"

Xinyang subconsciously touched his nose and stammered, "No, no, I just... there are some things I'm not sure whether I should say or not."

Linghua chuckled softly and responded gently, "It's okay. If you have anything to say, you can tell me at any time. I will always listen carefully."

Xinyang gazed into Linghua's sparkling eyes, and a surge of courage suddenly surged within him. He took a deep breath, and finally, mustering the courage, he spoke, "It's been six years since we've known each other. We've been through so much together, and today, I want to tell you a secret I've kept deep in my heart for a long time."

Xinyang paused, looked at Linghua's expectant eyes, and continued: "The secret is, I... I like you, Linghua." His voice trembled slightly, but was full of sincere emotion.

After saying this, Xinyang felt his heart beat faster, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. He nervously waited for Linghua's reaction, not knowing how she would respond to him.

After hearing Xinyang's straightforward confession, Linghua's once snow-white cheeks instantly flushed with a delicate blush, a charming sight. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze averted, and replied softly, "You're usually so eloquent and articulate, but how come you're so clumsy when it comes to the crucial moment? You're such a blockhead! You've kept me waiting for so long... But at least you didn't let me down. Xinyang, I've always liked you, too."

At this moment, Xinyang's heart seemed to melt completely. The "38th parallel" that once existed in the middle had now disappeared without a trace. Xinyang carefully opened his arms and gently embraced Linghua. "I will be with you every day from now on, forever and ever."

Linghua snuggled quietly in Xinyang's arms, "I know, I will always be with you." These words were like a spring breeze, blowing through Xinyang's heart, bringing him immense happiness and peace of mind.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, Xinyang slowly opened his eyes. He saw Linghua lying quietly in his arms, breathing steadily, as if still in a dream. Xinyang gently stroked her hair, feeling her warmth and softness. He recalled their conversation last night, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

This love has been recognized and cherished by each other, and nothing can destroy this beautiful relationship.

Suddenly, Xinyang felt a strange sensation—he couldn't even feel his right arm! He looked closely, startled, and realized that last night, as he'd hugged Linghua to sleep, her head had rested on his right arm. After a full night, his right arm had become numb from the prolonged pressure, as if it had lost contact with his body.

Fortunately, Linghua also slowly woke up at this moment. The moment their eyes met, Linghua immediately noticed something was wrong with Xinyang. A flicker of concern and self-blame flashed across her eyes, as if she felt guilty for causing Xinyang discomfort. Linghua quickly sat up.

Xinyang struggled to move his right arm, trying to relieve the unbearable numbness. Every tiny movement brought a tingling sensation. Seeing this, Linghua hurried forward to help. She gently grasped Xinyang's arm, massaging the muscles with her warm palm, carefully helping Xinyang relax his tense nerves.

Under Linghua's careful care, Xinyang's right arm slowly regained consciousness.

"Thank you, Linghua, it's great to have you."

Linghua raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Then how are you going to repay me?" There was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

The two looked at each other, their eyes met, and they could understand each other's inner thoughts.

Xinyang gently held Linghua's small hand, deliberately put on a stern face, pretended to be angry and said: "Look at you, you have become so thin! And you still want a reward? Humph, as a punishment, you can only eat the food I cook from now on." As he spoke, he gently poked Linghua's forehead with his finger.

Seeing this, Linghua also pretended to be extremely wronged and looked at Xinyang with tears in her eyes, "Ah~~ Then I will be starving to the point of being skin and bones in the future."

Xin Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard Ling Hua's words. His fake seriousness instantly disappeared. He gently rubbed Ling Hua's hair and said softly, "Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful. It's getting late. I have to go make breakfast for my wife."

Linghua was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed okay to call her that. "Wait, I want to go too."
