Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Chen Xi sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the "scholar." The "scholar" also stared back at Chen Xi, his eyes hidden by a mask, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Chen Xi sensed the "scholar's" gaze, but as someone who could meet his homeroom teacher's eye contact for a minute, he was fearless and continued to stare at the "scholar."

The scholar asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Xi had grown much bolder and said directly, "It's beautiful!"

The scholar chuckled, "Have you seen enough?"

He had a test tube-like earring hanging from his right earlobe, filled with an unidentified bluish-green liquid.

Chen Xi was captivated by his beauty and couldn't help but move closer to him, reaching out to touch the test tube on her earlobe—oops, I mean, the earring: "No, I can't get enough of looking at him."

Dotole... It's a pity you're a villain, the kind that's evil from beginning to end, there's no way to save you. The developers might kill you off, villains never have a good ending... Thinking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Unfortunately, I am bound by...

"Scholar": "If it looks good, look at it carefully, and always remember... what are you thinking?"

Chen Xi: "I was wondering if the scholar brother might suddenly disappear?"

"Scholar": "No, I will always be with you."

If only it were true... You would be destroyed by him...

"Does the scholar have any way to take back control?" You know what I mean.

"Yes, but we'll have to use force." We'll resolve it by force.

"Can you beat him?"

"Trust me." At this age, he is very arrogant, and even knowing the outcome, he is unwilling to let another version of himself control his life and death.

"Can we go find him after we finish our mission?"

"Listen to you."

But that was you at your peak. Dotore gave him control over the life and death of all the slices, and Dotore himself directly controlled him.

It seems I need to go to Sumeru ahead of time, before the Traveler goes there. Otherwise, after the main storyline of Sumeru, he will use you as a bargaining chip in his deal with the Little Grass God and destroy you.

I don't want you to be destroyed by him, because we are...

After spending some time together, Chen Xi had developed feelings for the "scholar" that were different from those for Dotore, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what they were.

The "scholar" removed his clown mask and placed it on the coffee table, then held Chen Xi's hand to his face: "How is it?"

"Cough, he has a temperature, just like a normal person."

"Yes, just like a normal person."

Chen Xi tried to remain calm, but her heart was pounding, her body temperature was rising, and her face was flushed.

The "scholar" slowly raised a smile, his blood-red eyes narrowing with pleasure.

The human heart is a strange thing; it is always a variable and sometimes uncontrollable.

"Scholar": "You know too many secrets about me."

Chen Xi: "Do you believe me?"

"Scholar": "I believe you will not betray me."

Chen Xi expressed her incomprehension: "Huh? So sure?"

"Scholar": "You said your life belonged to me, and that's why I tampered with you back then..."

"Yes, my life is yours, scholar. You can use me for experiments if you want." Anyway, I can't beat you, so I might as well just give up.

"Chen Xi..." I was lying to you.

“I am willing, Second Seat [Doctor].” Chen Xi knelt on one knee, placing his right fist over his heart.

"Okay, you're mine." How foolish, I was fooled by just a few words. Luckily, it was me.

The "scholar" helped Chen Xi up and took out rock candy from his pocket and put it in Chen Xi's hand.

"[Young Master] You don't need to worry about things there. I've already given him the Unrestricted Talisman, and I believe he'll know what to do."

"This might damage diplomatic relations between the Eastern Kingdom and Liyue... but for Her Majesty the Empress, it's all worth it."

Chen Xi ate the rock candy, not forgetting that besides herself, there was also the traveler as a variable: "Scholar, would you come with me to check on [Young Master's] progress on the mission?"

"it is good."

……

[Chosen One] is speaking with the Traveler, Sora, according to the Liyue main storyline, telling the Traveler that the fall of the Geo Archon might be the work of the Seven Stars. Both [Chosen One] and the Traveler initially believe that the Seven Stars of Liyue are the prime suspects in this case. With the Geo Archon dead, the Seven Stars became the most powerful figures in Liyue, and it's hard not to suspect them given such a motive.

I find the classical Chinese texts in this joint entrance exam particularly interesting.

...The preceding paragraphs are not important; what is important is what follows.

Qu Yuan wrote in his poem: "The dogs of the town bark in packs, barking at what is strange. I have heard that in the south of Shu, it is always rainy and there is little sunshine. When the sun comes out, the dogs bark. I think this is an exaggeration."

Six or seven years ago, I came to the south. In the winter of the second year, fortunately, a heavy snow fell over the mountains, covering several prefectures in the south.

The dogs of several states, all pale and yellow, barked and ran wildly for days until the snow stopped. Only then did they believe what they had heard before.

Now that Han Yu considers himself the ruler of Shu, you, my son, want me to be the one to clear the name of Yue. Isn't this distasteful? Not only is it distasteful to me, but it also distastes you, my son.

But what fault is there between snow and sun? It's the barking dogs that are truly barking. How many people in the world today don't bark? And who dares to flaunt their strangeness before the masses, inviting trouble and anger?

Translation:

Qu Yuan once wrote a poem that said, "The dogs of the town bark in packs, barking at what is strange." I had heard that in the areas south of Yong and Shu, it often rained and the sun was rarely seen. When the sun came out, the dogs would bark incessantly. At the time, I thought that was a bit of an exaggeration.

Six or seven years ago, I was demoted to the south. In the winter of the second year of the Yuanhe era, I was fortunate enough to witness a heavy snowfall that crossed the Five Ridges and covered several prefectures in the southern Yue region.

The dogs in these states were barking and biting wildly for several days, until the snow melted and they stopped barking. That's when I realized that the story of the Sichuan dogs barking at the sun that I had heard before was true.

Now that Han Yu sees himself as the sun of Shu, and you want me to be the snow of Yue, isn't that embarrassing? Not only will I feel embarrassed, but you will also be implicated.

But what fault have the snow and the sun committed? It's only the dogs that are barking and snapping. How many people in the world today wouldn't bark and snap like the dogs of Sichuan? And who dares to show themselves off in front of others, inviting noise and anger?

...Another filler chapter. Time is tight; there's an exam every month, plus final exams, and when I'm in my second year of high school, I'll have to choose subjects, then there's the qualifying exam and physical education exam in December... a whole bunch of exams in total. But I need to lay a good foundation before all that, so I'll have more time to write during the holidays.

The drafts I'm posting now are all written during breaks at school, and they're incomplete. Because I sit in the seat closest to the teacher—the first row—I'm hesitant to write during class, especially in my homeroom teacher's class, where I always feel like the teacher is watching me.

It's really difficult. So far, I can only understand a small part of the science subjects. The difficulty of Physics 2 has successfully stumped me. My physics teacher even said that if I don't study hard in the beginning, I won't be able to understand the later ones. So I decisively gave up on physics. Who knew that there was a bit of geography mixed in, and physics mixed in chemistry, and chemistry mixed in biology. History is still the best.
