Genshin Impact, I, a mere mortal, cannot accompany you to the very end.

"Hoo. Hoo. Haha." He was laughing, but he was trembling.

"So...so that's how it is."

Kiyono clutched his heart, the chill still raging through his body. He lowered his head and whispered,

"My life has been both pathetic and ridiculous."

"Hero Impersonation? I Fooled the Whole World!"

-

This is a super long chapter. I've been writing all day except for eating and taking exams.

I'll just write down all of this emotion at once, without keeping track of how many chapters it's in, but it's definitely longer than yesterday's four-in-one piece.

By the way, I wasn't late this time! Five minutes to go! (Shameless)

Volume 1: Chapter 55 I Care About You (Three-in-One, Please Give Me Some Monthly Tickets!)

Kiyono Fuyu lowered her head and said softly, "My life has been so pathetic and ridiculous."

He suddenly felt dizzy, his brain felt like it was being torn apart, and the scene before his eyes quickly dimmed. He was falling, and he heard all sorts of whispers in his ears.

"Hey, what's wrong? Hey! Wake up!"

...

The sky was not yet fully bright; only the eastern sky showed a pale, fish-belly white.

Gradually, the pale light spread inch by inch, the deep blue sky turned into light blue, and then gradually turned into light pink, with the silk-like glow draped over the edge of the city.

This is already the second day.

"Awake?" A voice came from the other side of the room.

"woke up."

Kiyono Fuue opened his eyes with some difficulty and glanced at the girl sitting on the bamboo stool. "What are you doing?"

She leaned back in her chair, looking sleepy, like a sleep-deprived kitten. Ying yawned slightly.

"These are today's flowers. But I haven't finished weaving them yet."

Sweet flowers have a pure, incense-like fragrance, so faint it's almost pure white. The way a young girl weaves a flower wreath is like the noble ladies in a Mondstadt painting. The warm sunlight shines through the peach wood window, the smoky sunlight clear and light, quiet and beautiful.

The girl's body was half in the light, her slender and long index finger pinching the edge of the vine, first twisting it into a thread, then binding the two threads together. Her bright golden eyes were full of seriousness and care, and she gently pursed her thin lips.

Yesterday's firefly was a carnation; today's firefly is a sweet flower.

"It smells so good," Kiyono said. "How did I get back yesterday?"

“You fainted. You fainted in the Wolf Temple and almost fell to your death from the air.” She said this while weaving a wreath. “The tavern owner carried you back.”

"Wow, that's so embarrassing."

"I've let you down."

Kiyono Kaze's first reaction was that it was really embarrassing.

That's all he's focused on.

This guy is obsessed with saving face to the core; he's the kind of stubborn person who can't change his ways, even after generations. He cares more about whether he's dragging others down or losing face than about his own life.

Clearly, in his view, being unconscious, rescued, and carried back was a very shameful thing.

"Is it shameful?"

Ying said softly.

She stared at the petals in her hand, then inserted a sweet flower into it, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles in the leaves. As she did this, Ying whispered, "Qingye Fengyin, you're such a jerk."

asshole...?

Being scolded for no reason made Qingye Fengyin somewhat dissatisfied. He hummed and was about to say something to refute, but the words got stuck in his throat because he saw Ying Subai's hand clenching the bud of the sweet flower.

“When you came back yesterday,” Ying said softly, “your body temperature was as cold as a dead person’s. When I held your hand, I couldn’t feel any warmth. When I leaned against your chest, your heartbeat was so faint that I could hardly hear it.”

Kiyono Kazein scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Ah, I didn't wear enough clothes yesterday and I didn't eat well, so I had low blood sugar. It was an accident, an accident."

He explained with a cheerful smile.

The girl's voice was initially steady, but deep within that calm tone, there was a slight tremor.

"Kiyono Fuyumi, you're a bastard."

She had almost crushed the petals of the sweet flower. The girl paused, lowered her head slightly, and her bright golden eyes also drooped.

"You're an idiot."

She said,

"Your worst behavior was your attitude just now, so nonchalant. You woke up saying things like 'So embarrassing, so embarrassing.' Maybe you don't care about your own life at all, but..."

"But?" Kiyono asked, following her words.

Ying bit her lip, turned around, and glared fiercely at Qingye Fengyin with her beautiful, clear amber eyes. Qingye had never seen the girl lose her temper before. In Qingye's memory, this silly little sister had always seemed easy to bully, but now she was angry:

Her fingernails gripped the flower petals, her chest heaved, her brows furrowed, and her silver teeth made a soft clicking sound—all these indicated the girl's current state. She was angry, but not for her own sake.

"but...?"

"But some people care."

"what?"

"Someone cares."

Ying stepped down from the wooden chair, her bare feet touching the floor. She came with a fierce air, her golden hair swaying with her steps like an angry little golden lion. The sound of her bare feet hitting the wooden floor was pattering.

She swiftly and decisively grabbed Qingye Fengyin's collar, and before the latter could react, she pulled him close to her face, rapidly closing the distance between them.

A gentle breeze rustled the fallen leaves outside the window, and the scattered sweet flower petals shattered into tiny fragments in the wind. Ying stared fiercely into Qingye Fengyin's eyes. Qingye Fengyin could see her own reflection in those clear eyes, and she could also see a slight tremor in those fierce and stern eyes.

"I care."

she said.

"Damn it, I care!"

Kiyono Kaze looked up at the girl. Behind the girl was a window frame, and the dazzling morning light shone through Ying's shoulder onto Kiyono's face.

What is that sparkling in those golden eyes?

Can't see clearly.

"You don't care about life, but I do."

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

Ying said she cared, but Qingye felt that she had nothing to care about.

But it might sound quite nice.

He didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he wasn't really happy, but he was a little happy. In the past three months of Qingye Fengyin's life, this was the first time someone had gotten angry for him.

So, his three months of wind-blown wind must have left some trace in the world.

"I'm really... fine."

Qingye Road.

"I've really been too tired these past few days, purifying temples and all that. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." He gently patted Pa Ying's hand and smiled. "I'm really fine."

Ying still gripped Qingye's collar, staring directly into his eyes. "I don't believe you."

"Then watch carefully."

During last night's memory retrieval, Qingye Fengyin has inherited most of the young wolf's skills, and her level has been raised to lv.70, which is the hero level, considered the first tier that humans can reach.

Kiyono Kaze grabbed Ying's wrist with his backhand, and under the latter's surprised and terrified gaze, he flipped her up, using the same method that Lord Rustan of Mondstadt used to capture criminals, and pinned Ying's right arm behind her back. He then pressed Ying's head down with his left hand and slammed her onto the bed.

Arrest them on the spot.

"Do you think a dying patient has my skills?" he said with a smile.

"Ouch, that hurts..." Ying cried out in pain. She tried to break free, but the guy was so strong that she had no chance to fight back.

"Let go."

"Don't loosen it."

This guy definitely doesn't seem like a patient; patients aren't this energetic.

"Then why was your body as cold as a dead person yesterday?" the girl retorted.

Qingye said, "I wasn't dressed warmly enough yesterday, and it must have been freezing at the Wolf Temple! You must have called the priest, right? What did the priest say?"

Ying frowned.

They did indeed hire a priest, and when Diluc returned carrying Kiyono Kazemura, the Knights of Favonius panicked.

When Miss Barbara from the West Wind Church came to examine him, she was shocked to find that Kiyono's body was perfectly normal; on the contrary, he was incredibly healthy.

After a short while, the faint heartbeat became more rapid, the boy's body temperature rose, and his cheeks regained their color.

Seeing Ying's hesitant look, Qingye guessed the outcome.

The chill emanating from the woman was so deep that even the heart of the demon could not dispel it, making it difficult for the priest to detect.

Moreover, the biggest problem with Qingye Fengyin is not the 'cold air', but the 'wear and tear'.

After a long silence, the girl said softly, "...The pastor said you are very healthy."

"That's right."

Qingye Fengyin released Ying and said cheerfully, "I'm very healthy. I could kill you idiot with one punch. I'm strong, and I'll stay strong for hundreds of years to come!"

Kiyono Fuyumi always has this talent for lying.

I can't argue with him, he's awful.

"You damn old zongzi."

Ying bit her lip and muttered a soft curse.
