I write novels in Liyue

Although Fang Qiu knew that Shen He was just stating the facts when he said they would sleep together, she had just read about the scene in "Junior Sister, Be Gentle, Senior Sister Hurts" where the senior and junior sisters chewed rock candy together in an icy lake, and it was hard for her not to think of anything more...

"Ah."

Fang Qiu blushed and responded.

The two of them crawled into bed together.

After lying down, a strong drowsiness came over her, but just as she was about to fall asleep, the fragrance of Shen He wafted into her nose.

Fang Qiu turned her head and subconsciously looked at Shen He beside her pillow, only to find that Shen He was looking at her.

In an attempt to find a topic of conversation, Fang Qiu, though nearly asleep, asked without thinking, "How about that book?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Fang Qiu regretted it.

I'm so sleepy

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about...?

It was done without any thought.

"Your writing is not as good as yours."

Shen He asked.

"I see..."

Fang Qiu responded softly, her eyelids drooping, and Shen He in front of her gradually blurred.

"But it resolved a knot in my heart."

Shen He said softly.

"What... knot... in your heart?"

Fang Qiu mumbled intermittently.

After saying that, he tilted his head slightly and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Fang Qiu's serene and delicate face, Shen He's usually icy face broke into a rare smile as he whispered in Fang Qiu's ear, "As long as there is love, that's all that matters."

Outside the window, a gentle breeze swept by, carrying the chill of an early winter night into the distance.

at this time.

Mondstadt.

The Grand Master's office was brightly lit.

After finishing a long day's work, the troupe leader put down her pen, stretched, rubbed her aching back, and stretched her body vigorously.

The stiff body emitted a slight grinding sound from its bones.

"Kaeya said that Liyue bought Klee's bouncy bomb plushies to use as chairs, saying it can prevent back pain. I don't know if that's true. Should I get one too? But, would it look a little strange?"

Qin said this while stretching her body.

However, he did not receive a reply from Lisa after he finished speaking.

"Lisa, you..."

Qin was taken aback. She turned to look at Lisa and found that Lisa was looking at the book in her hand, her eyes were sad, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

She crept closer and found Lisa staring intently at a line of text.

The lyrics are printed on one side of the main text.

"The profound changes are not far away; even in ten thousand years, our deep affection will remain unchanged, and our love will spread like wildfire..."

Qin was puzzled.

Why is Lisa looking at this lyric?

The main text was clearly more touching; she had already read that part yesterday.

It is the unforgettable love story of Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing across three lifetimes.

She had heard many poems praising love in Mondstadt, but it was through Fang Qiu's book that she truly understood how those poems described love... to use the words from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1," it was unforgettable and unwavering until death.

But why was Lisa staring blankly at that sentence?

Just as Qin was wondering, Lisa came to her senses.

"Qin, are you done with your work?"

"Lisa asked."

"Ah."

Qin nodded and asked, "I noticed you've been looking at that sentence. Does it have any meaning?"

"It doesn't really mean anything, but this sentence reminds me of a story."

"Lisa said."

"A story? What story?"

Qin was somewhat puzzled.

Do you know the Flame Witch?

"Lisa asked."

"I have heard of it."

Qin said.

She had heard the legend, but due to her busy schedule, she hadn't looked into it in detail.

"Would you like to hear her story? After you hear it, you'll understand why I said that."

"Lisa asked."

"Ah."

Qin nodded.

"The Flame Witch's real name is Rosalind. She has a lover named Rustan, a great hero of Mondstadt. He was attracted by Rosalind's singing voice and fell in love with her. Rosalind also fell in love with Rustan. The two were in love. In order to be worthy of Rustan, and with beautiful dreams for the future, she went to Sumeru to study and discovered that she was born with the ability to manipulate fire magic."

Lisa spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Finally, a great calamity erupted. The Venomous Dragon descended upon Mondstadt, and the Wind God, with his retinue, fought against the dragon. The Knights of Favonius also engaged in a great battle with the monsters that accompanied it. When the Venomous Dragon perished on the ice mountain, Rustan also fell into eternal slumber at the bottom of the valley. Rosalind, who had been traveling far away, returned to Mondstadt and learned that her beloved had passed away. She cried until her voice was hoarse and her tears ran dry."

"Dandelions drift away on the morning breeze, and the autumn wind brings back the fragrance of harvest, but no matter what kind of wind it is, it cannot bring back your gaze."

"And so, Rosalind burned her life, transforming into the Flame Witch, sweeping away all demons from the world, until finally, the flames dissipated..."

Lisa finished speaking.

Silence fell over the office.

"So that's how it is. Love spreads like wildfire... It really does fit the image of that girl who burned her life for love..."

Qin looked somber and let out a long sigh.

However, I still felt a sense of unease in my heart.

In Fang Qiu's original text, Lin Yeping was also drawn into the great battle for Zi Xuan and died in that battle.

Even until his death, Lin Yeping did not know that the person Zixuan called Liufang was him.

This is unwavering loyalty until death.

Just like the Flame Witch who, upon learning of her lover's death, burned herself out in an attempt to avenge him...

"Want to grab a drink?"

"Lisa asked."

"Ah."

Qin nodded.

Where should we go for a drink?

Lisa asked, "A gift from an angel?"

"No, let's go to Cat's Tail Tavern instead."

Qin paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"It is said that the bard started a storytelling activity in the Gift of the Angels, which was to help readers interpret the intention of Fang Qiu's book. I am quite curious."

"Lisa said."

"Then... let's go take a look."

Seeing Lisa's gentle smile, Qin sighed and said.

"Let's go."

Lisa smiled and said.

They walked out of the office and then saw Kaeya leading Klee back to the Knights from outside.

"Kaya, Klee, good evening."

Qin greeted them.

After exchanging greetings, Jean told Kaiya to keep an eye on Klee and not let her wander off.

Just as they were about to set off, Kaeya said, "By the way, I ran into the Traveler and Paimon outside. They said they got news from the Adventurers' Guild that Fang Qiu's new book has been released, and they plan to set off for Liyue at dawn tomorrow to pick up a sample copy."

"I see."

Although Qin hadn't finished reading Fang Qiu's book yet, she still felt a little excited when she heard about Fang Qiu's new book.

"There's another new book to read."

Lisa chuckled softly.

After chatting for a while, they left the Knights' Order and saw Eileen sitting in a chair, quietly reading a book. A wooden sword was beside her, and she was still sweating. She was engrossed in the book.

Book title: Your Lie in April

"If she's still reading here when we come back, we should be able to see her crying."

Lisa glanced at Eileen's progress, smiled, and said.
