Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

She turned around and quietly watched Yichen take off his coat.

Yi Chen looked up, a relaxed smile still on his face after his walk.

"You and that pastor."

Shen He's gaze seemingly casually swept over Yi Chen's expression, not missing any subtle changes.

What is the relationship?

"Barbara?"

Yi Chen paused for a moment, then answered without any hesitation or doubt.

"They're friends! Very good friends!"

He seemed to feel that the definition was not accurate enough, and added further.

"She's such a nice person! Gentle and kind, and she sings beautifully. Everyone in Mondstadt loves her!"

His eyes were clear and bright, without any impurities, only showing genuine appreciation and affection for his friends.

Shen He listened quietly, carefully observing his every expression, confirming that his words came from the heart and contained no concealment or ambiguity.

She nodded almost imperceptibly.

The junior apprentice was unaware of the feelings that the pastor had for him that went beyond friendship.

That's fine...

The tension in her heart, which had been slightly tightened by seeing the two walking side by side, eased a little.

As long as my junior brother is unconcerned, then all external interference is nothing to fear.

However, this realization did not completely reassure her; instead, it strengthened her resolve to hold onto a certain idea.

Mondstadt...

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she scanned the comfortable but not exactly home room.

There are far too many potential "threats".

That acting leader…

That blue-haired knight…

And this thoughtful pastor…

The way they looked at their junior brother, more or less, carried the probing and ulterior motives that she disliked.

Even if the junior brother is ignorant and naive, if he is allowed to continue to stay in this environment, there is no guarantee that something might happen.

It's best to leave as soon as possible.

Let's go back to Mount Ozang.

She returned to the immortal cave dwelling where only her master, she, and her junior brother lived.

It's a peaceful and safe place, free from the entanglements of these troublesome worldly affairs.

There, she could wait with peace of mind for her junior brother to purify her evil energy, and then naturally keep him by her side forever.

Shen He simply responded with a faint "yes" and didn't press the matter further, as if the question he had just asked was merely a casual remark.

She turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll go warm some milk."

Yi Chen watched his senior sister's retreating figure, completely unaware of the turbulent thoughts churning beneath her calm surface, and cheerfully replied.

"Okay! Thank you, senior sister!"

He felt that his senior sister was becoming more and more considerate.

Shen He's plan to leave had already been quietly finalized.

We must return to Liyue as soon as possible.

Chapter 46 Little Notebook

The next day, Yi Chen packed his bags early and even prepared a sumptuous food box filled with all kinds of Mondstadt dishes and snacks that he was good at making.

Before setting off, Shen He indeed expressed his desire to go along, but Yi Chen firmly refused, citing his previous promise to You La to watch it alone.

Shen He looked at him silently for a moment, but did not insist. He simply asked him again when he planned to return to Mount Ozang. After receiving the reply that he would return after the Dvalin ceremony, he turned around and went back to his room without saying a word, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Yichen arrived alone at the clear lake outside the city, where Yura was already waiting.

The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and her tall, aloof figure.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around, her gaze inadvertently sweeping behind Yichen.

"Didn't your senior sister come with us today?"

Yi Chen walked up to her with a grin.

"I didn't let her come along. Didn't we agree that Yura would dance for me alone? Of course, there can't be anyone else there!"

Upon hearing this, Yura instinctively crossed her arms and turned her head to the side, trying to hide the fleeting, tiny joy that crossed her heart when she heard these words, and stubbornly retorted.

"Hmph! I only made an exception for you because you're the one in charge of this ceremony, letting you review it first! It's not because of... any other special reason! I'll remember this grudge!"

Seeing her typical arrogant demeanor, Yi Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good, it's the manager's privilege, it's a privilege!"

He stopped teasing her and held up the large food box in his hand.

"It's still early. Let's eat first! I made a lot! Yura, you haven't had my cooking in a long time, have you?"

Yura's gaze fell on the familiar food box, and her eyes softened for a moment.

Indeed... it's been a long time.

Ever since that idiot stopped his sensational "hundred confessions" in Mondstadt, she hasn't had the chance to enjoy his homemade, "Yidan-style" cooking alone like this.

His cooking was not particularly delicious, and could not compare to the exquisite skills of the Deer Hunter chef, let alone the elaborate and sophisticated cuisine of Liyue.

The flavors are always too strong, the cooking time is occasionally out of control, and the plating is haphazard...

But it has a unique flavor that belongs only to Yichen.

It's that kind of... energetic, carefree, even a little reckless, yet it always inexplicably makes people feel warm and at ease.

Just like him.

Yura suppressed the complex emotions surging within her and nodded slightly, acknowledging her agreement.

She walked to a flat, large rock by the lake and sat down gracefully.

Yichen immediately came over happily, opened the food box, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

He proudly presented each dish: slightly charred but juicy Mondstadt potato pancakes, a generously piled-up satiety salad, carefully sliced ​​bacon and ham, and even a few irregularly shaped but incredibly fluffy cakes.

"Try it! I've used all my specialties!"

Yi Chen handed her a set of cutlery, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for her evaluation.

Yura took the cutlery, her movements maintaining the elegance characteristic of the Lawrence family.

She carefully forked a piece of potato pancake and put it in her mouth.

The familiar taste instantly filled my mouth.

It seems like I added a bit too much salt…

It was also a bit overcooked...

That clumsy yet intense warmth easily penetrated all the criteria for judging taste, precisely striking her heart.

It felt like I was back in those days when I received lunchboxes every day and heard him shouting, "Yura, I love you."

Those days when she responded with "I'll remember this grudge."

Yura lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooping to conceal the turbulent emotions in her eyes. She simply chewed silently and carefully, as if savoring some rare delicacy.

"how is it going?"

Yi Chen asked impatiently from the side.

Yura didn't answer immediately, but took another small bite of salad, and then, in a very soft voice, as if talking to herself, muttered something:

"...The taste...is still the same as before..."

"Clumsy."

In her voice, it was impossible to tell whether it was a complaint or... nostalgia.

Yi Chen chuckled, completely unconcerned: "Hehe, I'll take it as a compliment!"

The sun was warm, the lake water shimmered, and a gentle breeze rustled across the grass.

The two sat quietly by the lake, sharing simple food, as if time had never passed.

Yura's heart, too, softened little by little, involuntarily, in this familiar warmth and tranquility.

…I've temporarily forgotten about the grudges from before.

While eating, Yura suddenly put down her food and asked softly:

"Hey, Yichen."

"A ceremony to bring back heroes like Dvalin, the Dragon of the East... who once protected Mondstadt..."

"...Let me, a sinner bearing the name of 'Lawrence,' dance the opening ritual dance..."

"Are you sure... everything's okay?"

Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility, and it also revealed the resentment she had never been able to completely shake off regarding her background and the world's opinion.

However, Yi Chen's answer was without any hesitation.

"No problem at all!"

Under Yura's slightly surprised gaze, Yichen took out a small booklet from his small bag. The booklet wasn't particularly beautifully bound, but it was clearly made with care, and it was quite thick.

He chuckled and shoved the booklet into Yura's hand, his face beaming with a smug "Praise me!" expression.

"Look at this! I knew someone might have this question!"

That's why I specially prepared this 'Yura Lawrence Complete Advantages Handbook'!

I've already spoken with the printing company, and we'll use this for the flyers for the Tvalin Return Ceremony!

No! It should be said that the content of the promotional leaflet was simply printed on the last page of this booklet!

Yura blankly accepted the booklet, which still carried Yichen's warmth. The cover even had a chibi-style, puffed-up portrait of Yura.

With a sense of disbelief, she slowly turned to the first page.

Sure enough, it was filled with dense writing, along with some simple illustrations.

Yura Lawrence, captain of the Knights of Favonius guerrilla squad, possesses exceptional combat skills and superb swordsmanship. She once single-handedly wiped out a monster's lair in the XX region...

"Yura Lawrence, seemingly cold but kind-hearted, has secretly helped the citizens of Mondstadt on numerous occasions. Her specific deeds are as follows:..."

"Yura Lawrence, upholding chivalry and fulfilling her duties, has never let personal emotions affect her missions..."

"Yura Lawrence actually loves spicy food, but she always eats it secretly, which is so cute..." (Next to her is a chibi version of Yura crying from the spiciness)

"Yura Lawrence, although she always says she's 'vengeful,' is actually very soft-hearted and easily moved..."

One by one, he meticulously recorded everything—some were public achievements, some were details that Yi Chen had observed herself, and even some of her own little habits and mannerisms that she had almost forgotten—as if he were compiling some important classic.

Yura's fingers trembled slightly as she turned the pages, her eyes swirling with emotions—surprise, emotion, and an indescribable, bittersweet feeling that welled up in her chest.

Until her gaze landed on a particular line on a particular page—

Yura Lawrence possesses immense patience and a kind heart!

The evidence is this: despite rejecting Yi Chen's confessions a hundred times, which might have been a bit annoying, she never actually spoke ill of him or used force to drive him away! She listened patiently to each one!

This fully demonstrates that she is a kind-hearted, compassionate, and exceptionally chivalrous woman!

It was followed by a big exclamation mark, and a crookedly drawn chibi version of Yichen bowing in apology.

"Pfft-"
