As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Well... alright, I'll wait for you to come back." Rita looked into Ragnar's eyes, forcibly suppressing her doubts. She nodded gently, "Okay, Ragnar, I'll wait for you to come back."

Seeing that Rita had agreed, Ragnar smiled and turned to walk towards the garden, with Chenyuan sitting steadily on her shoulder. Night deepened, and the moonlight, like water, spilled onto the winding path, adding a touch of mystery to the tranquil night.

The two walked slowly along the path in silence. In the garden, the various flowers appeared even more vibrant under the moonlight, and a faint fragrance filled the air, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Ragnar stopped, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Mr. Chenyuan, sometimes I really envy these flowers and plants."

“Although they cannot speak, they can convey the beauty and resilience of life through their blooming flowers.” Ragnar’s voice was low, as if he were talking to himself, not to Chen Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan gently patted Ragnar's shoulder, his tone teasing, "Are you reflecting on life? Ragnar, you usually seem so strong, but it turns out you have such a soft side too."

Ragnar tilted his head slightly, glanced at Chen Yuan, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Perhaps. However, sometimes, gentleness is also a kind of strength. As Valkyries, we face endless battles and challenges, but the gentleness in our hearts can give us the motivation to keep going even in exhaustion and despair."

Chen Yuan nodded, and said thoughtfully, "That's true. Everyone has their weaknesses, but it is these weaknesses that make us more real and more complete."

At this point, the images of Cocolia and the others flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. "The memories you brought to Bianca and Rita during this time are invaluable treasures for them."

After listening to Chen Yuan's words, Ragnar looked into the distance, a hint of pride in his eyes. "Just as you said, this period of time is not only a precious memory for them, but also for me."

"But all good things must come to an end. Even if I don't leave now, one day I will have to leave this place and return to my own life."

"Although I feel a little reluctant, I also understand that everyone has their own destiny and mission, and we must learn to let go and let them fly freely."

…………

And so, the two continued their stroll through the garden, one after the other, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. A gentle night breeze brought coolness, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.

As time passed, the night deepened, and the moon rose higher. Ragnar stopped, looked up at the sky, and a strange emotion welled up inside him.

She sighed softly, then turned to Chen Yuan and said, "Chen Yuan, I think all of this tonight will become one of the most beautiful memories of my life. Can I say a few words?"

“Of course.” Chen Yuan nodded gently. Seeing this, Ragnar took a deep breath and slowly said, “Since joining the Valkyries, my life has become anything but ordinary.”

“Every battle against the Honkai Beasts, every time I protect the people I care about, makes me feel incredibly fulfilled and proud. But at the same time, I often feel lonely.”

She paused for a moment, as if gathering her thoughts, and then said, "We Valkyries bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the world, but this responsibility has also made us lose many things that ordinary people have."

“Take…love…” Ragnar slowly turned around, gazing at Chen Yuan behind him, his hands on his lower abdomen, a smile playing on his lips. “It sounds strange, but I think I’m starting to like you.”

"Hmm, is that so... Hmm!!!" Chen Yuan, who had been listening intently, was momentarily stunned. Looking at Ragnar in front of her, she swallowed hard. "Miss Ragnar, such words are not suitable for jokes!"

“I’m not joking, Mr. Chenyuan. Rather than saying you like him, it’s more like you have a bit of a crush on him…” As she said this, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting Ragnar’s hair.

Ragnar ran his hand through his hair, a rare blush creeping onto his face, and said softly, "I didn't actually plan to say it so soon, but because of work, I was afraid that if I didn't say it now, I wouldn't have the chance again."

Having said that, Ragnar approached Chenyuan step by step, while the latter unconsciously retreated. His heart suddenly raced; he had never imagined receiving such a direct confession from Ragnar.

The next second, Ragnar grabbed Chenyuan's hand, forcing him to stop. He then looked up, his eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Mr. Chenyuan, I'm not confessing my love to you, I'm just telling you my feelings."

"Ragnar..." Chen Yuan began, but Ragnar forcefully covered his mouth before resting his head against Chen Yuan's chest. "This... is this what love feels like? Just like the books say, it feels so comfortable~"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't push Ragna away. He opened his arms and gently hugged Ragna back, patting her back softly. "Ragna, between us..."

“Maybe it won’t work out, I know!” Ragnar said softly, picking up where Chen Yuan left off. “But that’s alright. At least you’re the only man I’ve ever met who I’ve felt somewhat attracted to, and I’m not too averse to doing those things with you…”

"Is that so... You don't mind? Then I won't be polite!" With that, Chen Yuan stretched out several symbiotes to bind Ragnar's hands, then grabbed her wrists, turned around and pressed her against the wall.

"Phew... My lovely Ragnar, you came here all by yourself!" Looking at Ragnar's red eyes and luscious little mouth, to be honest, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted. This was Ragnar, the so-called invincible maid!

"So what, Mr. Chenyuan~" Ragnar blushed, but his eyes showed a hint of stubbornness. "Do you think you can scare me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Miss Ragnar is indeed very brave. I just wonder if she can still keep up this stubbornness after all this!"

After saying that, Chen Yuan lowered his head and closed the distance between himself and Ragnar. Ragnar looked at Chen Yuan's approaching figure and couldn't help but feel nervous. He bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes darting around, not knowing what to do.

"Do as you please..." With this soft sigh, Ragnar finally closed her eyes, gently tilted her head back, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were ruffled by the breeze. Her lips were slightly pouting, as alluring as ripe cherries.

Chen Yuan, standing to the side, naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with her. After all, how could he not taste the delicious fresh meat that was right in front of him? So, without hesitation, he took a step forward and leaned forward.

In an instant, he closed the distance between himself and Ragnar. Then, in that very instant, Chen Yuan captured Ragnar's pink and dewy lips in his mouth.

The kiss came so suddenly, instantly shattering the tranquility of the garden. The moonlight, like water, reflected their tightly embracing figures. Feeling the warmth of their predestined bond, a heart-stirring flutter gradually flushed Ragnar's cheeks with passion.

After a while, Chen Yuan slowly released Ragnar's hand, which was tightly gripping his. The latter breathed heavily with relief, a hint of shyness and reproach in his beautiful wine-red eyes.

Chen Yuan stared intently at the beauty before him, a wicked smile involuntarily spreading across his lips: "Hehe, I didn't expect that Ragnar would taste even sweeter than I imagined!"

Hearing this, Ragnar was both ashamed and angry. She raised her small fist and gently punched Chen Yuan's firm chest. "Hmph, you bad person, all you know how to do is bully me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled innocently and said, "Oh dear, I didn't mean to bully you. You can only blame yourself for coming here on your own. Have you forgotten?"

Ragnar, who had been about to argue further, suddenly seemed to remember something and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Her pretty face instantly turned bright red.

"That's all for today. If there's an opportunity in the future..." Ragnar said, glancing at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression before turning around and walking towards their residence...

………………

The next morning, Ragnar stood at the door with his backpack. Bianca and Rita walked up to him and hugged him tightly. Ragnar hugged them back and whispered, "Good luck!" Then he turned and set off on his journey.

After Ragnar disappeared from sight, Chenyuan suddenly looked at Bianca and Rita and said, "I have a feeling we'll meet again soon."
