Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

Is this considered bad luck or good luck?

However, if that's really the case, it would indeed be easier to explain things clearly in person.

Since Fu Hua herself had already experienced the miraculous event of picking up Su Qing'an, her initial reaction was only a light, "Oh, I see" response.

The use of the word "we" implies that the child came along too?

We'll be there in five minutes. Master Su is so efficient!

Wait, five minutes?

The girl noticed the keyword, and she subconsciously brushed her smooth but slightly messy hair aside with her fingers. Her pretty face froze for a moment.

She hadn't even gotten out of bed yet, let alone washed up.

No, I feel so ashamed to see Su Qing'an looking like this.

Although I don't usually dress up or wear makeup in a big way, being neat and tidy is a basic requirement.

The girl felt that her initial appearance after waking up did not meet basic standards at all.

Just as her toes touched the surface of her shoes, and she was about to go to the sink to tidy herself up, Su Qing'an's message arrived again.

I'm downstairs.

37. Seele is very cute.

After making Su Qing'an wait a few more minutes, Fu Hua appeared before the two of them, dressed neatly. She had tied her long gray hair into a low ponytail, revealing part of her fair neck.

Perhaps because of the time constraint, the girl only washed the hair on her forehead. As the two drew closer, a faint fragrance wafted into their nostrils.

This should smell like shampoo, with a subtle blend of vanilla, milk, and musk. In short, it's like chilled cream with a slightly muted fragrance, yet still refreshing.

Since it was winter, Fu Hua, as always, applied lipstick, and the slightly brightened lip color made her lips look moist and soft.

Su Qing'an could tell from the various scents on her that her lipstick was strawberry-flavored. At the same time, he also noticed the girl's slightly disordered breathing and her feigned indifference.

She seemed to be concealing the fact that she was in a bit of a hurry, trying her best to appear relaxed and natural. The boy wisely chose not to expose her, and he didn't intend to mention at all that the girl hadn't replied to his messages.

In a sense, this made Fu Hua's previously imagined useless battle plan even more worthless. At this moment, she focused her attention on the little girl wearing dinosaur pajamas next to Su Qing'an and quickly understood the intention in the boy's message.

While this outfit, which resembles pajamas, is undeniably cute, it's not suitable for wearing outside. If you're planning to take her to a shopping mall to buy clothes, borrowing her own clothes as a temporary solution would be a perfectly reasonable request.

But... just how many layers of clothing are stuffed inside those pajamas?

It must have been Master Su who did it.

This was a very characteristic of his style, leaving Fu Hua speechless for a moment.

The gazes slowly gathering around her left her no time to think about such things. The little guy had only been there for a short while when some students were already sitting in the nearby pavilion and on the benches, politely watching him.

Their gazes lingered on Xi'er and Su Qing'an, and their soft conversation, aside from discussing their outfits, consisted mostly of them hesitating about whether or not to greet them.

Of course, it would be even better if you could pinch the little girl's tail and cheeks, rub her head, and then ask for a spot as a teenage friend.

Fu Hua herself felt somewhat uncomfortable under such gazes, and Seele felt even more so. She lowered her eyes and stared at her toes, choosing to hide behind Su Qing'an as if that would prevent her from being seen.

The little girl's fingers, hidden in the fabric, tugged at his clothes tightly, as if urging Su Qing'an to leave quickly.

Seele's timid appearance is truly endearing, and her self-deceptive behavior only amplifies her charmingly naive nature.

In a girls' school like this, such behavior only makes the girls' maternal instincts more easily overflow, resulting in the audience's gaze becoming increasingly eager and a restless atmosphere gradually spreading.

Of the three, only Su Qing'an remained unmoved, while the other two felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Su Qing'an maintained his calm and composed expression. Compared to the stares he encountered at St. Freya Academy, this situation was nothing. Besides, he was used to ignoring other people's gazes.

But considering that Seele was gradually increasing the force with which she was pulling on his clothes, he said to Fu Hua:

"Anyway, give me the clothes first."

Fu Hua obediently handed the bag in her hand to Su Qing'an, but her heart was pounding with anxiety, wondering if Su Qing'an would take this opportunity to bring up old grievances.

If she were to be patted on the head right now, with so many people watching, it would be like a public execution. And the most crucial point is that she only washed the front of her hair due to time constraints, so she absolutely doesn't want her head patted.

But Su Qing'an seemed to have no intention of bringing this up at all; he simply began to introduce the little girl next to him:

"Her name is Seele Voller. I just found her and took her in yesterday. I hope you two can get along well."

After remembering the little girl's name, Fu Hua nodded in agreement.

But suddenly she realized a crucial issue, and Su Qing'an's previous statement that if she didn't live in her own home, she would have to sleep on the streets came to mind.

However, let's now look at the specific circumstances of this person's first day in Canghai City for a real comparison.

Within hours, the boy had found a place to work and live, and even had the energy to take in others.

Master Su, couldn't you have easily become a star in just one day?

The sob story about having to live a miserable life on a park bench for a while if she didn't stay at her house was clearly a lie.

While Fu Hua was internally complaining about this, she subconsciously began to deduce why Su Qing'an had lied.

This person doesn't like to lie, so it's strange that he would lie.

Fu Hua could only interpret it this way: he had a reason to lie.

And this reason, which was almost a matter of casual thought, laid bare the answer, as if revealing a radiant arc of light behind a thin veil.

Because if I don't lie, I have no reason to continue living in my own home.

In an instant, Fu Hua realized that she had understood something extraordinary.

The girl's fair face was flushed with a rosy blush, and even her blue eyes seemed to be misty with tears. Her gaze involuntarily drifted elsewhere, and she could no longer make normal eye contact with the other person.

Even if you had a suspicion in your heart, this little Easter egg hidden in life stirred up waves that spread throughout your body the moment it was unintentionally revealed.

This made the girl feel weak all over, as if her toes were walking on clouds, and the light, floating sensation felt like a dream.

Master Su is... such a bad person.

This was clearly a premeditated and deliberate approach. To put it bluntly, it was as if he already had feelings for her the day after she picked him up.

Fu Hua wanted to yell at him, but she felt too guilty.

On the very first day they met, it was she who was following Su Qing'an...

If it were something premeditated, I would say that I was one of them in a sense, and it would be difficult for me to utter words of accusation.

Su Qing'an's gaze towards Fu Hua became puzzled; was something wrong with Hua today?

Is it because sleeping too much has made me less clear-headed?

The boy handed the lunchbox to Seele, freeing his hands.

Then, under the curious gaze of the little girl tilting her head, he poked Fu Hua's blushing cheek with his fingertip.

The soft yet slightly warm touch resonated in my heart as my fingertips sank into the tender flesh.

He was immediately met with the increasingly clear and lucid gaze of the other person, who seemed to be gradually becoming more awake. Su Qing'an withdrew his hand and took back the lunchbox from the little girl's arms, asking softly:

"Is Hua still half asleep? Why is her face suddenly red?"

Fu Hua silently recited the Sword Heart Mantra to calm her mind; she clearly didn't have the lingering interest to dwell on the little gesture of having her cheek pinched.

The girl, her face still warm from the heat, tried her best to answer in a calm tone:

Nothing happened.

Just like Su Qing'an said, I wasn't fully awake.

Couldn't you have come up with a slightly different excuse?

The boy tried his best to suppress his laughter, not letting his lips reveal an upward curve.

To prevent her from throwing a tantrum, Su Qing'an nodded in agreement with a serious expression, which made the little girl breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Seele, who had been secretly observing Fu Hua, made her own judgment based on the myriad details displayed by the two within that minute.

She had already learned from Su Qing'an's tone that he was the person she liked, and this innate good impression meant that she would not deliberately resist contacting him.

Even so, there is still a certain psychological barrier to asking Seele to accept communication with a stranger in a short period of time.

Furthermore, if she feels that the other person has any traits that she dislikes, the little girl will refuse to speak her true feelings.

Looking at it now, there's nothing about this older sister that she instinctively dislikes.

Seele's only thought was that she was so innocent that even bystanders found her adorable.

Su Qing'an hadn't even done anything yet, and she was already in complete disarray.

If those two were to do the same thing that I saw in the dark alley, wouldn't they faint immediately?

No, this is just not good enough.

In this situation, someone would need to press ten fast-forward buttons to get to the desired result in one step.

Even though she had no experience and no particular thoughts about it, the little girl inexplicably began to examine the atmosphere between the two from a superior perspective.

While it was indeed very innocent, its purity was clearly disproportionate to the strange images in my memories during my wanderings, but...

How interesting!

Let's watch quietly for a while longer.

The little girl huddled to one side, her eyes, hidden beneath a dinosaur hat, intently watching the two of them, gradually making her forget the gazes around her.

In summary, this state can be described as a peculiar pattern of forgetting oneself while enjoying the gossip.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua tried to calm herself down. She understood that Su Qing'an wanted her to meet the other party. If Xi'er would continue to be adopted by Master Su, then the two of them would eventually have some interaction. Therefore, it was obviously necessary to have an initial contact.

So she's currently struggling with how to greet the child.

Although her awareness has improved slightly, her poor social skills and tongue-tied nature will not change.

However, Fu Hua understands, at least for now, that it is not appropriate for this little guy to directly and proactively discuss her background.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Su Qing'an decided to hand the lunchbox in her arms to the other person, temporarily ending the meeting.

Seele was surprisingly shy, yet understandably so. She had no problem communicating with me, and even used her words to tease me in some situations.

But when facing strangers, she becomes completely like a frightened little animal, even obediently putting on the hat that some people had previously objected to her wearing.

A typical example of someone who is "a bully at home but not at home".

Hua herself is not good at communicating. Even someone as proactive as Lin Xinchan, coupled with the fact that they are neighbors, was able to become friends with her, which is enough to reveal a lot about the situation.
