Genshin Impact ship pairings

Paimon believes that when you like someone, you can't hide it in your eyes.

This wasn't the first time Paimon had sighed. Looking at the two sitting together, staring at each other, Paimon sighed again.

Xingqiu came to find Kong as soon as he learned that Kong had returned to Liyue. Recently, his storyline had been a bit stuck, and his collaboration with Teacher Bai'e had been forced to pause.

The reason he was stuck on the plot was that he didn't know how to depict the feeling of unrequited love. He racked his brains but couldn't find a solution. Just then, Sora returned to Liyue from his travels, and Xingqiu thought that Sora must have been in love before, so perhaps he could offer some inspiration. Xingqiu, carrying his notebook, went to find Sora.

Unfortunately, while he had a lot of experience in air travel, he was a complete blockhead when it came to love. Faced with Xingqiu's question, he just scratched his head, thought for a long time with some embarrassment, and finally told Xingqiu, "I'm sorry, I really can't think of anything."

That's why we had the scene at the beginning, where a blond and a blue-haired boy were looking at each other somewhat awkwardly.

Paimon put down the chicken leg he was holding, but couldn't help sighing. "You should ask me instead of Kong." He then continued eating. Having spent several days eating and sleeping outdoors with Kong, Paimon was now trying to soothe his wounded heart.

Xingqiu, on a sudden impulse, was about to ask her when he heard Kong ask Paimon in shock, "What? What? You have someone you like? How come I didn't know that!"

Xingqiu thought about it and realized it made sense. Paimon was so young, who could have done it? Should they tell Yanfei?

Paimon remained calm, wiping away some oil from the corner of her mouth. She looked incredibly cute, making it even harder for Sora to accept that someone had stolen his little partner.

"Tell me who did it, and I promise I won't kill him." Kong clenched his fists, but he suppressed his emotions.

Seeing that the two of them were drawn to his words, Paimon then explained, "Of course I don't have a crush on anyone, but I have met them."

“Some people are like giant blocks of wood made from crystal ore. He can’t tell, but I can.” As he spoke, Paimon seemed to have thought of something and snorted with great disdain.

Kong was a little confused, but Xingqiu's sudden inspiration made him understand. He glanced at Kong subtly, then moved closer to Paimon. "Then tell me, your meal expenses during this period are on my paycheck."

Paimon was excited and immediately agreed. Kong didn't get a chance to speak, but quietly listened to their conversation. Suddenly, he heard a sentence.

"The most direct way to observe someone is to look into their eyes. When someone likes another person, their eyes are the most revealing place for it."

Paimon shook his head and waved his hands, pointing at Xingqiu like an old teacher giving a lecture. Xingqiu obediently wrote everything down, and then, like a good student, asked Paimon questions.

How can you tell from the eyes?

"Of course, you can tell by looking into his eyes. When he looks at someone he likes, his eyes become sweet and juicy, like cheese. His gaze will unconsciously lock onto that person immediately. In short, you'll recognize it the moment you see him."

"It's so obvious!"

After hearing Paimon's reply, Xingqiu pondered for a moment. Then he said goodbye to Kong. Paimon's words had indeed given him some inspiration; at least he knew what kind of content to write next.

After saying goodbye to Xingqiu, a bewildered Kong watched in disbelief as things were resolved so perfectly. Unable to understand, Kong could only praise Paimon and then take her on a new mission. In short, Kong thought it was great that Paimon hadn't been scammed.

Before the commission was even finished, a dark blue figure appeared beside Sora. Golden eyes and delicate features momentarily stunned Sora.

"Xiao, you're here." Sora greeted him happily after snapping out of her daze.

Xiao nodded silently, then joined him in completing the quest. However, his golden eyes were fixed intently on Sora's figure, and if Sora was even slightly unnoticed by danger, Xiao would immediately pull Sora back.

Paimon watched from the side, a hint of helplessness on her chubby little face. She always felt like she was just a third wheel, both bright and superfluous.

After completing the task, it was getting late. Paimon pestered Kong to buy some delicious food, and after eating, they went to sleep.

When the moon rose, Sora and Xiao finally had some time alone. Sora checked Xiao's karmic burdens. He had gone to Bai Zhu to get medicine before coming, but after checking, he found that Xiao's condition was fine, so Sora was in no hurry to prepare the medicine for him.

As Sora finished examining Xiao's body, she gently traced the markings on Xiao's skin with her fingertips, meticulously following the lines. Xiao trembled slightly, but did not avoid Sora's fingers.

Xiao raised its head and pressed down on Kong's fingers. Its golden eyes looked at Kong quietly, with a strange gentleness in the lamplight. It was like a ferocious beast resting in its lair after a battle.

Sora looked into Xiao's eyes, which were filled with her own reflection. Suddenly, Sora remembered what Paimon had said to Xingqiu during the day: "When you like someone, your eyes are the most revealing part."

Kong's heart skipped a beat; he felt as if he had discovered something. This discovery made him a little flustered, his bewildered heart filled with a joy he hadn't even realized he had.

Xiao's hand remained on Sora's fingers. Seeing Sora suddenly lose focus, Xiao removed his hand and gripped it tightly. Sora, however, recoiled as if electrocuted. Xiao's eyes held a hint of disappointment, and even though Sora was in turmoil, he noticed Xiao's emotions.

Sora's already chaotic mind became even more chaotic under Xiao's aggrieved expression. He thought about comforting Xiao, at least to stop her from showing such a pitiful and obedient expression.

Finally, in a moment of panic, Sora hugged Xiao tightly. Xiao was somewhat surprised, but he quickly returned the hug. In his blank state, all Sora could feel was Xiao's warmth. Perhaps because birds have a higher body temperature, even though Xiao was a mythical beast, his body still made Sora feel warm.

Immediately afterwards, Sora heard Xiao's clear voice in her ear, "You found out, didn't you?"

"...What did you find?" After a moment of silence, Kong asked, only then realizing that her voice was a little hoarse, perhaps from nervousness.

"I like you."

Xiao finally spoke, uttering the words he'd kept hidden in his heart for so long. He didn't know when he'd started liking Sora. Perhaps it was from their first meeting, seeing his curious, animalistic expression. Or perhaps it was in the abyss of towering rocks, when Sora desperately tried to grasp his hand…

In short, Xiao liked this golden traveler. She liked his silky golden hair, his strong and muscular waist, the earrings that swayed gently by his ears... Anything related to him made everything beautiful.

Sora listened to Xiao's confession, her heart pounding. For some reason, she felt happy. "Do I like him too?" Sora asked herself. "How could I not like someone I like?"

Sora hugged Xiao tightly, "I like you, I like you." His face was pressed against Xiao's neck, and Sora didn't see Xiao's eyes brighten for a moment. He could only feel Xiao's body temperature and the beating of his pulse.

In the dim light, their shadows intertwined. Just like their destiny, it was already unbreakable.
