Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

Wandering.

Wandering aimlessly.

Bai Chu was like a wandering ghost, searching for a place where he could find some peace and quiet in this turbulent land of Liyue.

On an unknown mountain, he stopped, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked up at the moon.

"What a coincidence..." Bai Chu sighed, "Today is actually a full moon."

"Looking at it this way, I am really pitiful as a lonely person with nowhere to go."

Bai Chu muttered to himself with a helpless smile on his face.

Under the bright moonlight, he seemed to be covered with a blurry veil of light, and his whole body exuded a gentle aura.

Bai Chu looked more gentle under the moonlight, but at the same time... more lonely.

"How strange..." Bai Chu murmured softly, holding up his face with one hand. A bitter smile that was inconsistent with his appearance appeared on his face, which had become somewhat childish after merging with Egolia.

"Why do I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable... I've lived alone before."

During his long life, he traveled alone for a thousand years without anyone by his side. At that time, he did not feel lonely.

But now, only a few decades since Fontaine... He would even risk spending a few hours with little Ganyu just because he was lonely.

“…I’m really not used to this feeling.”

Bai Chu closed his eyes and shrank his neck, as if this could hide his somewhat fragile expression.

This loneliness that came like a wave made him feel a little suffocated, like a drowning person, trying to struggle but it was futile.

But luckily...he's not the only one here.

There is a guy who is gradually becoming more human-like and will definitely be watching him.

Bai Chu slowly opened his eyes, exhaled, and spoke softly.

"System, talk to me."

"say what?"

Just as he thought, the system spoke.

Seeing his rare fragile appearance, the system rarely had the thought of mocking him. For some reason, Bai Chu's appearance made him feel that something unknown was growing in his heart.

But what exactly it was… he couldn’t tell, he just felt very unhappy.

If Bai Chu knew what it was thinking, he would understand quickly.

This system that has been with him for thousands of years is now feeling sad because of him.

It's just that it can't understand this emotion. Maybe it thinks it has a bug, so it behaves like this.

"This is a big problem... No, I have to find time to go back and take care of it!"

The system thought silently, although it could leave now, it was rare that Bai Chu wanted to say something to it, and as a competent system, it still had to listen.

Well, yes, that’s it!

"Hmm..." Bai Chu pondered for a while, but couldn't think of anything.

Come to think of it, he and the system haven't had much conversation yet, and most of the time they talk they're arguing.

Either he scolds the system, or the system scolds him. He has never thought of having a good talk with the system... before.

After all, this guy lacks emotions, so it's pointless to chat with him.

"System, I've always been quite curious."

Bai Chu lay on the ground, looking at the full moon in the sky and spoke softly.

"If I died, would you be sad?"

"Ha, you old fool, your memory is getting worse as you get older, right? Didn't I tell you that I don't have an emotion module installed?" The system said with a somewhat irritated tone of disdain. Bai Chu didn't get angry about this, he just smiled.

"Ha, you're still so rude."

However, it is somewhat different from before.

Bai Chuyi's eyes were as calm as a spring under the moon, but there was a hint of smile hidden in them.

Now it seems that the emotion module is not installed yet.

"System, thank you."

After a moment of silence, Bai Chu spoke softly, his face full of seriousness.

"..." Such an abnormal action caused the system to fall silent. After a long while, it hesitated and spoke.

"Are you seriously ill?"

This guy actually said thank you to me?

If the system were in human form, its eyes would be wide open with a look of disbelief.

The sun comes out in the west?

"～" Bai Chu shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

He is really grateful to the system.

If there was no system, it would be difficult for him to retain so many memories... Although he has forgotten many of them, there is no doubt that, whether clear or vague, they have left heavy marks on him.

These memories made him nostalgic for this world, and at the same time, made him understand what he wanted.

"It's time for me to leave."

Bai Chu ended the conversation. He stood up, raised his head calmly, and looked at the sky full of bright stars.

The starry sky was beautiful. It was a pity that he could only watch it from here but could not be part of it.

Some stars have not yet shown their light and should not have fallen.

“…The Demon War is about to begin.”

There is a reason why it has been delayed for so long this time.

Because it is finals week, the author is working on Nuwa mending the sky.
