Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

"Please don't do that, Mr. Yichen!"

Barbara was so frightened that she quickly grabbed his arm.

"Please don't! This is perfect! Thank you so much!"

Upon seeing the adorable priest's expression, Yi Chen immediately surrendered.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, just kidding~ Let's go, I'll escort you into the church through the side door, I promise no one will bother us."

Having resolved a major concern, Yichen felt that the sunshine today was exceptionally bright.

Chapter 18: Sisters United

Since the day of the "appearance of the wind god," the atmosphere around the Mondstadt church has changed.

Albert, the once most troublesome fanatic, seemed to have truly accepted some sacred mission, transforming himself into the honorary president and chief order officer of the "Barbara Fan Club".

He spontaneously organized his previously undisciplined fans and formulated a series of "rules" such as "no loud noises outside the church," "no surrounding Miss Barbara," and "no making excessive demands."

Surprisingly, he was extremely serious and even strict in carrying out his duties. Whenever he discovered that a new or unruly fan was trying to disturb Barbara, he would be the first to rush up and earnestly convey the "teachings and instructions of the wind god Barbatos," resolutely maintaining the tranquility at the church entrance and Barbara's private space.

He even proactively helped Barbara filter letters and organize gifts, politely turning away some overly enthusiastic requests, which indeed filtered out a lot of unnecessary trouble and annoyance for Barbara.

Barbara kept her promise and would set aside a fixed hour each week to hold a small fan meeting in the church or a safe area arranged by the Knights of Favonius, where she would sign autographs, chat, sing, and fulfill everyone's reasonable wishes.

This approach is both safe and orderly, which makes fans cherish this hard-won opportunity to interact even more, and they are completely convinced of Albert's management skills.

the most important is--

"what………"

In his new villa, Yi Chen slept soundly, wrapped in a soft blanket, until the sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, warmly bathing his face, before he naturally woke up.

Outside the window, all was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds and the faint sounds of vendors hawking their wares in the distance.

No more noisy attacks from obsessive fan groups first thing in the morning!

"Aha--"

He stretched contentedly, feeling that life was so wonderful.

"The world is quiet...this is what life should be like!"

A moment later, Yichen strolled downstairs. The living room was empty except for a note on the table with a simple drawing of Paimon's face and the words "Out earning Mora! Back before dinner! — Ying & Paimon" written next to it.

"Wow, so full of energy..."

Yi Chen smiled and shook his head, expressing his admiration for the diligence of his two new roommates.

He was pondering whether to go to the Knights' Order to report for duty first or go directly to Kaeya for breakfast when a soft but hesitant knocking sounded on the door.

Just then, a soft but hesitant knock sounded on the door.

"Hmm? Who could it be at this time?"

Yi Chen walked to the door with some doubt and opened it.

Standing outside the door was none other than Barbara.

She wasn't wearing her prayer pastor's uniform today, but instead wore a fresh and elegant light blue dress. Her golden pigtails hung smoothly down her shoulders, and her hands were clasped nervously in front of her. Her fair cheeks were flushed.

"Good morning, Mr. Yichen."

Barbara's voice was even softer than usual, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"Barbara?"

Yi Chen was somewhat surprised and stepped aside to let her in.

"Please come in quickly, what brings you here at this hour? Is it those fans again..."

"No, no!"

Barba quickly waved her hand and went inside.

"Everyone...everyone is very well-behaved now, Mr. Albert has managed them very well. This is all thanks to you."

She looked up at Yichen with sincerity, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her skirt.

“I came here specifically to thank you. Really… thank you so much, Mr. Yichen. If it weren't for your idea, I'd probably still be struggling with this every morning… and you'd even be woken up by it…”

By the end, her face was filled with guilt and gratitude.

"Oh, I already said it's nothing, no need to be so polite."

Yi Chen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by such a formal thank you.

"Seeing you no longer troubled means I can finally get a good night's sleep. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Barbara chuckled slightly at his blunt words, her tense mood seemingly easing a little.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she carefully took out a beautifully printed card from her small bag and handed it to Yichen with both hands.

"Um... to express my gratitude..."

Her voice became even softer, and her cheeks flushed even more.

"Next weekend evening, I will be having a small thank-you concert at the West Wind Cathedral... It's specially prepared to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me."

She slightly raised her head, looking at Yichen with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation in her eyes.

"If...if you have the time, would you be willing to come and listen? I...I will sing some new hymns..."

Her invitation was sincere yet shy. Her watery eyes looked at Yichen as if they contained some indescribable expectation. Unlike her usual idol-like perfect smile, she seemed more like an ordinary girl who had mustered up the courage to extend an invitation.

Yi Chen looked at the ticket she handed him, which seemed to still have a faint fragrance, and then at Barbara's expression, which was clearly different from usual, and was slightly taken aback.

He took the ticket, and his fingertips inadvertently touched Barbara's slightly cool fingers, feeling as if she trembled slightly.

"A concert..."

Yi Chen looked at the image of Barbara smiling and singing printed on the ticket, a smile of interest appearing on his face.

"Of course I'm free! I've been looking forward to Miss Barbara's concert for ages! I'll definitely be there!"

Upon hearing his affirmative reply, Barbara's face instantly lit up with a smile, a joy that came from within, more vivid and genuine than any smile on stage.

"Really? That's great!"

She was so happy she almost jumped for joy, but then immediately realized she had overreacted and quickly composed herself, though she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Then...then I'll look forward to your arrival! I will...I will prepare well!"

After whispering a few more words about the concert time and other important information, Barbara blushed and, like a happy little lark, took her leave with light steps.

Yi Chen stood at the door, watching her figure disappear around the street corner, then looked down at the exquisite concert ticket in his hand and flicked it with his finger.

"A concert...that sounds interesting."

A smile played on his lips as he carefully put the ticket away.

Chapter 19 Nani, the intelligence was fake!

After some time, Yi Chen left home in a cheerful mood, intending to go to the deer hunter's place to solve his breakfast problem.

As soon as I stepped onto the main street of Mondstadt, I spotted that familiar tall figure.

Yura stood on the side of the street with her arms crossed, seemingly on patrol, or perhaps taking a short break.

Her ice-blue short hair and unique outfit made her stand out in the crowd.

Yi Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved and shouted happily, then quickly walked over.

"Long time no see! Are you off today? Or are you on patrol?"

Yura turned her head at the sound and saw that it was Yichen. Her eyes began to dart away.

Although she visited him while he was unconscious and even said some things that were not in line with her usual persona, she now desperately wanted to completely forget that memory and that no one should ever mention it again.

She maintained that slightly arrogant and aloof expression, nodding slightly.

"Well, it's kind of a... short break."

Immediately, Yura's gaze fell on Yichen's dark aristocratic attire, which was clearly out of character for him and made of exquisite fabric. Her brows furrowed imperceptibly.

Why are you wearing Legrantford clothes?

Although the clothes fit him well and made him look presentable, they didn't quite match Yi Chen's usual carefree and unconventional temperament, and... for some reason, they were a bit jarring to her eyes.

"Oh, this!"

Yi Chen lowered his head and tugged at his collar, explaining nonchalantly.

"When I came back, my clothes were so tattered they were unrecognizable. Luckily, I ran into Lord Diluc, and he kindly lent me a set. How about it? Isn't it so handsome that no one can take their eyes off me?"

Seeing his smug look, Yura couldn't help but let out a soft "humph," her fingers tightening slightly as she crossed her arms.

"Heh, it's barely acceptable. But isn't it embarrassing to parade around in other people's clothes?"

She paused, as if finally finding a perfectly legitimate reason, and turned her head to the side.

"Now that you're back, you should wear clothes that suit you. Let's go."

"Ah? Where to go?"

Yura had already turned around and started walking, leaving behind only an explanation in her unique style.

“Go buy some clothes. Do you want to keep wearing Legendhand clothes? I’ll remember this grudge… How dare I see you looking so inappropriate.”

Yi Chen: "???"

What does this have to do with holding a grudge?

Although he didn't quite understand Yura's logic, Yichen still happily followed her.

The two walked side by side on the streets of Mondstadt. Yura turned her head slightly and looked at Yichen beside her, who was looking around with a pure and happy smile on his face. She couldn't help but let out a soft "humph" again.

"Walking down the street with the 'sinner' of the Lawrence family and acting all happy? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen turned around almost without hesitation, his face still bearing that carefree, bright smile. He answered with such confidence and his voice was so loud that almost everyone on the street could hear him:

"Didn't I tell you before, Yura! In my heart, you're much more important than those chattering pigeons! So, of course I'm super happy to go shopping with you!"

Yura's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head away as if to hide something, but a faint blush crept up her ears.

"Hmph, sweet talk... You've probably said that to many people already."

"Of course I only told that to my best friend, Miss Yura!"

Yi Chen answered quickly, without the slightest hint of guilt.

"How can you say such things to others so casually!"

"Again, they're best friends...?"

Yura muttered something under her breath, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of disappointment, but she was quickly and subtly pleased by the phrase "only said it to me."

She clicked her tongue softly, raised her chin, and made a reluctant gesture:

"...However, since you only told me this, I'll forgive your glib tongue for now."

"Haha, thanks! You're such a magnanimous guerrilla captain!"

Yi Chen replied with a grin, completely unaware that he had just been testing the waters on the edge of some kind of danger.

As the two were talking, Yura stopped in front of a beautifully decorated clothing store that looked expensive.

"Okay, we've arrived at the store."

She gestured with her chin, indicating that Yichen should look at the several sets of menswear displayed in the shop window, which featured a simple yet sophisticated style that didn't compromise on quality.

"This shop has good craftsmanship and fabrics, and you should be able to find clothes that suit you... and that suit your status."

The glass door of the clothing store, adorned with an exquisite wind chime, was pushed open, and the doorbell rang with a clear, melodious sound.

A stylish and capable middle-aged woman looked up at the sound. When she saw Yura walking in, she did not show the rejection or fear that many Mondstadt citizens had. Instead, she gave a sincere and gentle smile.

"Oh, it's Captain Yura! Please come in."

The proprietress greeted them warmly, her gaze immediately falling on Yichen beside Yura. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a deeper smile.

"And... Mr. Yichen? This combination of the two of you... is quite novel."

As she spoke, she skillfully led the two to sit on the soft sofa in the shop's rest area and gestured for the apprentice to pour tea.
