Genshin Impact Life Simulator, They Want to Kill Me

"Get out of my way if you're in the way, and don't cause me any more trouble!"

Ren Zha, who was tripped and fell to the ground, was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.

Ying, you don't cooperate at all!

Ahhh, Ying, I had a crush on you before, you are so too much, I hate you!

Ren Zha got up from the ground and shouted, "Then I won't help you, I'll grab my own!"

…………

The test was over, and Ren Zha was tied to the cherry tree as expected.

Chapter 9 False Happiness

Zhen and Ying were standing far away from the cherry tree, eating lunch boxes in their hands, while Ren Zha could only watch while tied to the tree.

"Cuckoo..."

Ren Zha's stomach was growling. Although he had eaten in the morning, the intense activity just now, coupled with the aroma of the food wafting into his mouth, made him a little hungry.

Out of sight!

Ren Zha simply closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Ying was eating while asking in a voice that only he and Zhen could hear: "Sister, what do you want to do?"

Ying asked after finally getting some time alone with her sister.

A look of true nostalgia: "Hey, Ying, do you remember what we were like when we were kids?"

Without waiting for Ying to answer, Zhen continued, "Since we were born, we have been fighting with other demons for survival. When we grew up, we participated in the Demon War to compete for the position of the Seven Gods. Now that we have finally settled down, I wonder, if we can grow up like mortals, spend our childhood like mortals, make friends in our short life, and spend our whole life together, what kind of experience would it be?"

So that's why you pretend to be a child?

Ying commented: "Boring."

"Just think of this as a way to resist wear and tear, and didn't Ying have a lot of fun just now?"

Ying shifted his gaze to the side. He was a little carried away just now. Now he thought, why should he argue with a real child?

Zhen looked at Ying and smiled gently: "Sometimes, Ying, you are like a child who has not grown up."

"I'm not that kind of kid!"

"Haha, no kidding." Zhen picked up a new box of food from beside him and handed it to Ying, pointing at Ren Zha who was tied to the tree with his eyes closed, "This child is really hungry, go give him some food, he can't go hungry like this."

"Why?" Ying asked in a puzzled tone, "If you win, you should get a reward, and if you lose, you should be punished. Why do you still need to give him food?"

Zhen stretched out his finger and tapped Ying's forehead, and Ying let out a "hmm" sound.

"Ying, you really don't know how to adapt. Why are you angry with a child? Go away. You can't let such a young child starve like this."

Ying pouted, but still took the lunch box handed to her by her sister and walked towards the cherry tree. Hearing footsteps, Ren Zha opened his eyes and saw that it was Ying. Hearing the scene when he was knocked to the ground by Ying before, he immediately pouted his mouth to the side.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Ren Zha said in a bad tone. He looked at the lunch box in Ying's hand and understood immediately, "You want to eat in front of me to make me hungry! I'm telling you, I'm not hungry!"

Having said that, he closed his eyes again.

Ying's eyelids were raised. This child... is not angry, not angry, just a child... listen to your sister...

"Hey." Ying handed the lunch box to Ren Zha with a cold face, "Are you hungry? Eat it."

"Um--?"

Ren Zha opened his eyes and looked at Ying with surprise and suspicion.

"you……"

You didn't come here on purpose to piss me off? Ying, I didn't expect that you look so cold, but you're actually a nice person?

Ren Zha instantly had a new feeling about Ying, but he still shook his head away in disgust:

"I won't eat it!"

"Hey……"

Ying's breathing is uneven. I humble myself to bring you food, and you actually despise me?

"Gu..."

Ren Zha's stomach growled at this moment.

"Ah……"

Hearing the voice, Ying sneered, and Ren Zha's face suddenly turned red. Looking at Ren Zha's appearance, Ying suddenly felt happy.

Wait, why did I become like a child and get serious with him again?

The smile that had just appeared on Ying's face disappeared again.

"Don't be so stubborn." Zhen stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "You must be very hungry, right? Let's eat."

Only after hearing Zhen's words did Ren Zha turn his face back, and sighed in his heart, Zhen, is still as gentle as ever.

Facing Zhen Renzha didn't want to lie, so he explained: "No, the teacher said that those who didn't pass the test would be starved. If the teacher knew about this, he wouldn't punish Ying, right?"

Huh? Is this kid not eating because he's worried that I'll be punished by Kitsai Palace? It turns out he's not trying to piss me off on purpose.

Ying also changed his opinion of Ren Zha a little.

Ying opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, Kitsune... Sensei won't do anything to me, just eat yours."

Ren Zha looked at Ying with some surprise, but was still a little hesitant.

Zhen also said, "Don't worry, the teacher is not here. If this lunch box is not enough, I have more here."

Really a box lunch?

Ren Zha didn't hesitate and shouted, "Put me down, I want to eat!"

Kid, what I say is not as effective as what my sister says?

Zhen responded with a chuckle: "Okay, I'll untie it for you right away."

Ren Zha had just untied himself and came down from the tree, preparing to eat, when a serious voice sounded above his head: "What are you doing?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ren Zha shuddered and looked towards the tree. He saw Hu Zhaigong appear on the cherry tree at some point and was sitting on a branch, swinging.

Kitsaigong tilted his head and said in a dignified voice: "I told you that those who have not passed the test are not allowed to eat lunch, right? So what are you doing?"

The teacher is angry!

Ren Zha immediately said: "Teacher! This has nothing to do with Zhen or Ying! I begged them to let me down! I, I'm too hungry..."

"It's not good to lie, right?" Hu Zhaigong interrupted Ren Zha, "I saw it all just now. They took the initiative to put you down, right?"

"Um..." Facing the teacher's stern gaze, Ren Zha lowered his head, "I'm sorry, teacher, I don't mean to lie on purpose."

It’s bad, it’s bad, the teacher saw everything. It would be fine if I was punished, but Zhen and Ying would be implicated, and I just lied to the teacher. In the teacher’s eyes, am I already a bad kid, right?

I won’t be chased away by the teacher on the first day of his apprenticeship, right?

Ren Zha lowered his head and waited for Hu Zhaigong's further criticism, but the imagined criticism did not fall. Instead, his head was gently stroked. When he raised his head, Hu Zhaigong had already jumped down from the tree. His serious face had long disappeared. He touched his head and said in a gentle voice: "Good boy, the teacher does not mean to blame you. I know why you lied to the teacher. Although sometimes white lies have good intentions, but promise the teacher that you will never lie again in the future, okay?"

"teacher……"

"Eat, the teacher didn't mean to starve you. Even if Zhen and Ying didn't put you down, I would have put you down. You're still growing, so it's not okay for you not to eat well, okay?"

Hearing this, Ren Zha was almost moved to tears.

Besides grandma and Zhen, there are new people who care about me!

The gentle Zhen, the equally gentle teacher, and the Ying who looks cold but is a nice person and brings me food, I... feel so happy!

"Come on, the teacher hasn't eaten yet, let's eat together. After dinner, I will teach you some basic skills."

"Yes! Okay, teacher!"

I hope we can be happy forever.

At night, Ren Zha said goodbye to everyone and returned home. He was thinking happily and fell asleep.

In the dream, the huge body of a snake and its huge vertical pupils occupied Ren Zha’s entire mind.

There was a look of disdain and mockery in his pupils.

——Come on, immerse yourself in the life that everyone has prepared for you, and live in false happiness. Friends, teachers, people you like, everything is fake. Wait and look forward to it. When you understand it all, when you realize that your world is all fake, then, what kind of despair will be bred, hehe, hahahahahahaha…——

Chapter 10: Learning Magic

Ren Zha had another dream.

In the dream, I first dreamed of a giant snake, and then I dreamed of two girls in witch costumes and a young man who looked high-spirited. The young man was practicing martial arts in the yard, while the two girls were practicing magic. Starting from the basics, the three of them kept repeating...

Ren Zha opened his eyes from his dream and looked out the window. It was daylight again. He had completely forgotten what he had dreamed about.

"Go out early today to find the teacher!"

I just became your apprentice yesterday and I’m late today. What a bad impact!

Ren Zha hurriedly got up from the bed, washed up, and rushed out after finishing his breakfast. As expected, Ren Zha was late again this time. Zhen and Ying had been waiting for Ren Zha in the yard for a long time, and Ying was almost impatient.

"Sorry, I am late!"

Anyway, bow and apologize first.

Fortunately, Hu Zhaigong did not blame him for anything. Instead, he thought it was normal for Ren Zha to be late, and asked with concern: "Have you had breakfast?"

"I've already eaten at home, teacher!"

"You're running so fast, why don't you take a rest first? After you've rested, the teacher wants to test you on the basic moves that the teacher taught you yesterday, okay?"

"It's okay, teacher. I've rested well!"

Ren Zha patted his chest and made the promise, then started to approach the teacher in a serious manner.

“Pa pa pa—” Kitsaigong clapped his hands. “You are very skilled. It seems you didn’t slack off when you go back.”

He was still very unfamiliar with it when I taught him yesterday, but he became so proficient in just one night. I guess this kid must have practiced very late when he got home, right?

"Yes, teacher, I am not very talented, so I have to work harder than others."

"Little Ren Zha is awesome. Hard work can make up for lack of talent. I believe you will become an outstanding warrior in the future."

Teacher Hu Zhaigong was praising him, Ren Zha was smiling foolishly with embarrassment, Ying was pouting on the side and said, "Huzhaigong, just coax a child, this kind of thing can't be compensated by hard work."

Zhen on the side also clapped: "Ren Zha is awesome!"

Hearing the truth, Ren Zha's face became even more excited.

Sister, you can follow suit, but is it really okay for you to ignore state affairs and play house with the children all day?

Ying originally didn't want to come today, but he cared about his sister, so after thinking about it he followed... Well, if his sister likes it, there is peace in Inazuma now anyway, and the Third Bugyo will handle the matter himself. Should he make a fake doll himself some other day and leave it in the castle tower to prove that the Thunder God is still there and didn't run away to play?

After all, it would be embarrassing to let outsiders know that the god of Inazuma is doing nothing all day and playing house with children, right?

"Okay, now that you have laid a solid foundation, I will teach you some magic today."

"Great!"

Can I finally learn magic?

"So, little Ren Zha, can you draw?"

"Ugh?"

"Because you don't have the Eye of God, if you want to drive elemental power to use magic, you need to use some props, such as talismans."

As he spoke, Hu Zhaigong took out a few blank vertical pieces of paper.

"Next, we will start learning the basic techniques."

Ren Zha followed the knowledge taught by the teacher of Hu Zhai Palace and roughly drew the talisman he learned from his teacher. After finishing, he threw the crooked talisman in his hand to the sky while pinching the magic formula in his hands.

"fire!"

A small flame appeared on the talisman.
