Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Chapter 440 Birthday in a Dream

Leaving aside the two of them, we still need to tell the story.

Xin Yan wasn't implying that everyone should give him a gift; Mona was just joking to scare him.

After resolving the children's misunderstanding, the group wanted to continue their journey. Just then, Paimon got hungry and planned to eat at Xin Yan's house, so they decided to go home.

Come visit me at my home, and I'll share delicious food with you.

Xin Yan said, "Whether it's disagreeing with the neighbors or returning home disappointed after a failed performance... if there's anywhere I absolutely have to go, I guess it's this place."

"Because... people always have to go home."

People always have to go home. Life is not over yet, and everywhere is a hometown. Manyo regards this land as his 'home'.

It's so good to have a home to go back to. For Nasida, her 'home' was a cage that imprisoned her. She couldn't get out, let alone go home.

And speaking of food, does Nasida know how to cook?

But this is just a dream. Whether she is real or not doesn't matter; it's enough that I've seen her.

Although she had never eaten much food, she had seen others eat it, and everyone looked happy when they ate sweets, so she figured sweets must be delicious.

The illustrations in the story depict the road home, a rugged path overgrown with thorns.

This is Xin Yan's inner world; it seems that every path is rugged and full of thorns for her.

But when I arrived at my doorstep, everything was different. The road had become stone steps, the lights were warm, and there were trees, flowers, and grass on the side. The thorns were gone.

Upon entering the room, Xin Yan said that everyone should not be shy and should not change their shoes.

As they were talking, Xin Yan heard some noise from the inner room. Curious, he went over to check and found that the lights were off and no one seemed to be there.

Just as she let her guard down, two adorable little ones suddenly appeared!

Xiangling, Pansy: (ノ＞ω＜)ノ

In the illustration, Xiangling and Yun Jin stand behind Xin Yan, one on each side.

They said cheerfully, "Ta-da! Happy birthday!"

Happy birthday! How wonderful it is to have someone to celebrate your birthday with. I wonder if Nasida would be envious if she saw this scene.

Whether the Nasita in the story saw it or not, whether she envied it or not, is unknown, but the Nasita in real life was very envious.

She really hopes that someone can celebrate her birthday like this, whether it's a surprise or not, whether there are gifts or not, she doesn't even need a cake.

All she wants is for someone to say 'Happy Birthday' to her.

For some reason, Wendy was moved by the previous story of Manyo, but this time it was Naxida's turn to be deeply moved by the story of Xinyan.

Will the next person have a different perspective and express the same sentiment?

We'll only know for sure when we see it. Xin Yan in the story was terrified, just as she herself said:

It's not surprising that friends do things that surprise people, but if it were her, she would be startled too, and sure enough, she was startled.

Xiangling and Yunjin were overjoyed; their surprise had worked. They clapped their hands happily, yee~.

Xin Yan: "Can't you two stop doing this kind of thing with those cute faces?"

High emotional intelligence is high emotional intelligence; the words you say are pleasing to hear.

Yun Jin laughed and said, "Oh? I don't like hearing that. Who says that just because someone is cute and well-behaved, they can't play pranks? Isn't that right, Xiang Ling?"

Look, Yun Jin and the others know they are very cute!

Moreover, Yun Jin's idea actually coincided with Xin Yan's. Who made the rule? Who decided what should be done in a certain way?

Xin Yan wasn't denying all mainstream practices; she actually knew how to embroider.

She just prefers to do what she likes, even if others think it's something a girl shouldn't be doing!

[Xiangling chimed in to Yun Jin: "Exactly! Guoba looks like that, but it's quite agile."]

Rice crust: ? ? ?

This is why Guoba can't read books, otherwise he would have been able to understand the meaning of the words. Isn't this just saying that he's fat?

Zhongli smiled, while Guizhong laughed so hard his legs went weak.

Seeing my old friend being teased gives me a strange sense of pleasure. Oh no, have I caught Lin Qiu's teasing?

Have I caught Lin Qiu's virus? Could it be that I've caught Lin Qiu's virus?!

Beidou also smiled. In fact, she was also a good friend of Xinyan. However, she was too busy to celebrate Xinyan's birthday in person because she was at sea at the time.

Fortunately, she had prepared a gift in advance and gave it to Yun Jin, who then passed it on.

Yun Jin and Xiang Ling also prepared their own gifts, each of which was something Xin Yan liked.

However, Xiangling's gift was somewhat special because she met a special person.

She met a man on the road, a blacksmith who wore glasses and seemed to be able to read stones.

Xiangling didn't believe him, so she wanted to test him. As a result, she actually found jade. Xiangling immediately had someone grind the jade into the size of a necklace, and then made it into a necklace and gave it to Xinyan.

Xin Yan didn't like wearing necklaces, and Xiang Ling knew that, so this necklace was actually meant for her Qin, who should also dress up nicely.

Barbara agreed, saying that both Sky Harp and her sister Harp deserved a proper makeover.

Barbara actually wanted to dress up her sister, but unfortunately, her sister didn't want to.

Yun Jin in the story is very interested in this person who can understand stones and even wants to write him into the play.

In fact, Yun Jin had already written about this story in real life, and it wasn't just this one. Almost every time Lin Qiu wrote a book, she would write a play about it, which made Zhong Li very happy.

As for the person Xiangling mentioned, yes, it is Kunjun. He has recovered and gained new abilities; he can now understand stones.

Although it's impossible to see the stone's memories, it's still a very powerful ability.

This shows that Ruoda really liked these blacksmiths, and even gave him a 'gift' before leaving.

As for blacksmiths, the Yun Jin family is also a blacksmith family, probably similar to the Lei Dian Wu Chuan family, and they also have their own series of works.

The gift she gave Xin Yan was a specially made iron ring ornament, the kind Xin Yan liked to use to tie her hair.

The three characters, Xin Yan, Xiang Ling, and Xiang Ling, sat down and prepared a large table of delicious dishes.

Meanwhile, the travelers and the others were still waiting outside, and Paimon's stomach was still growling.

But there's nothing you can do about it; an illusion is still an illusion. No matter how much you eat in a dream, you'll still be hungry when you leave.

Yun Jin told Xin Yan that she had originally wanted to make a birthday cake like they do for birthdays in other countries.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time; I was too busy bringing over the food Xiangling had made. Xiangling had made far too much.

There was no cake, no candles, but all my good friends were there, so I could make a wish.

Nasida would be lying if she said she wasn't envious; she also wished someone could celebrate her birthday like that. She didn't ask for any birthday wishes, because this was her birthday wish.

She had made this wish countless times.

In the story, Xin Yan closed her eyes and made her own wish.

Character Voice Lines - Nasida: About Birthday

"Tell me what your wish is, and maybe I can help you fulfill it."

"Huh? You mean my birthday wish?"

Chapter 441 Xin Yan's Wish Fulfilled

Xin Yan: "My wish is..."

Xin Yan opened her eyes, and before her were the travelers, her friends; everyone had emerged from the illusion.

Her wish was to "hold a concert with someone no one would expect."

Nasita thought to herself, "How wonderful! It's completely different from what I saw when I opened my eyes."

Nasida never expected that she would be the one most vulnerable in this story.

She, a deity who never leaves her home, was actually breached by someone from faraway Liyue.

Judging from the direction of this story, Nasita has already guessed what will happen next. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will help her fulfill her wish later in the story.

Because this dream is ultimately orchestrated by Nasita; she doesn't want to torment everyone, but rather to help them fulfill their wishes.

The dream may seem like it's about breaking free from inner demons, but in reality, they've already moved on from those experiences on their own; they don't have any inner demons.

No, to be precise, Fischl has an inner demon, which is why she's afraid to act with everyone else. While others achieve their wishes, she can also overcome her inner demons while achieving her own.

Look at her, she's different from others, she earns more than others! As expected of the princess, she easily accomplished what we couldn't!

Okay, actually it's because she's the only one among the people present who hasn't gotten over it yet; everyone else has let go.

Nasita was too kind; she took the initiative to help everyone fulfill their wishes in the dream.

She has done this many times over the past five hundred years, but unfortunately, dreams are not reality, and most of the time she can only provide psychological comfort.

The dreams on the island were created by the Fools using Narcida's abilities, but unfortunately, or rather, coincidentally, Narcida discovered them.

Dreams belong to Naxida, so this dream now belongs to Naxida.

The people in the dream wanted the 'sound' of this mountain, just like what Teacher Abedo mentioned.

However, even after the water veins were cleared, the music still failed to play, so they had to return to the illusion to ask Big Flower.

Spark introduced an ice flower to everyone and obtained a leaf from another 'Frozen Heart', which seemed to be a key item.

After the waterways of the remaining two mountains were cleared again, the island truly transformed into a giant musical instrument, awaiting Xin Yan's performance.

Now Xin Yan has found that 'unexpected person,' the creator of this island.

Nobody knows who he is, but he must have been a great musician.

Xin Yan: "Today we're not playing rock music, we're going to show you something new!"

She wanted to play a tune more in line with the indigenous people's tastes, a low-key and soothing piece of music.

The text was transformed into an illustration, in which Xin Yan removed a pair of iron spikes from her hair.

With her long hair flowing, Xin Yan closed her eyes and played the piano. The wind blew through her hair, making her look so beautiful and breathtaking.

The illustration depicts a tiny Xin Yan perched on the windowsill, watching people play instruments outside, her eyes sparkling as she imagines herself playing – this is the source of her love.

The next illustration shows her playing the instrument as an adult; this is not imagination or a dream, but real reality.

[Xin Yan: "I hope that you, who live in the past, also enjoy this ensemble piece."]

It's unclear whether Xin Yan is referring to her past self or the original inhabitant.

In the illustration, Xin Yan opens her eyes, her long hair flowing in the wind, another beautiful moment. Which is more beautiful, her rock-and-roll look or her rock-and-roll look?

People probably still think Xin Yan looks better with long hair, which is normal. Perhaps Xin Yan herself knows that look is more in line with everyone's preferences.

But aren't hairstyles and makeup meant to make you happy?

Xin Yan likes herself the way she is now, so she dressed up like this.

She didn't expect everyone to dislike her hairstyle so much, but if they don't like it, they don't like it.

They don't even like their own rock music; they think girls should do gentle and refined things.

No one can please everyone; even Morax has its haters, so it's enough to just like yourself.

Mainstream ideology cannot restrict Xin Yan, and stereotypes cannot affect her, because Xin Yan simply wants to do what she likes to do.

All the words in the world can be summed up in one sentence that Xin Yan loves to say most: "Sing a song of resistance!"

This is a story that readers really enjoyed, but it's a bit of a shame that we didn't get to hear Xin Yan's music.

When I have money, I will definitely buy a book that can be heard.

Zhongli wasn't worried. He could only hear that if he couldn't buy the book, he could hear that there would be a play, and Mr. Yun would definitely adapt it.

Most of the books are no longer available, but Xin Yan's concert is still watchable, so Lin Qiu has inadvertently helped promote Xin Yan.

Returning to the story, after enjoying the music, Manyo suggested visiting the Fools' camp again.
