Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

Fate is so mysterious.

The lovers who were once in love with each other, lived together day and night, but neither of them could recognize each other.

All that's left is a precious opportunity to protect the one you love.

It fell into his hands so easily.

There are mountains on both sides of the highway, and the honey-like morning sun shines through the car windows.

Kamisato Ayato slowed down the car, and looked at the girl sleeping peacefully in the rearview mirror in the tranquil warm colors.

Over the past ten years, he has witnessed Nan Ke's growth.

Is there anyone who can be described as "closer to the water" than him?

Kamisato Ayato chuckled.

He finally gained Nan Ke's trust and successfully lured her from her original family into his car.

if you can.

I really want to take people and run away.

They arrived at their destination at nine in the morning.

Hearing the sound of Kamisato Ayato unbuckling his seat belt, Nan Ke woke up without waiting for anyone to call him: "Are we there yet?"

"They're already waiting." Kamisato Ayato considerately helped her open the car door.

"Thank you." Nan Ke got out of the car with the folder in her hand. Noticing the dark green in his eyes, she said guiltily, "Thank you for your hard work along the way, Mr. Ayato."

"Once my new shop is renovated, you have to come more often." Kamisato Ayato jokingly took her into the morning tea shop.

"must."

Kamisato Ayato told the front desk his name and the waiter led them to a private room.

They agreed to meet the landlord here.

The landlord, the person with the nickname "Liu" in the group, is a friend of Kamisato Ayato.

Because Kamisato Ayato acted as a middleman, he was willing to pay Nan Ke a very low rent.

Nan Ke weighed his savings as he walked, feeling a little nervous.

Inside were the scholarships she had secretly saved and Nan Yi’s financial support.

At most, it’s just one month’s living expenses.

Hopefully the rent is low enough.

The waiter opened the curtain of the private room for them.

Between the wooden table and chairs, sat a woman in a black cheongsam.

Her hair glowed a luxurious dark purple under the lamplight, tied into a long braid from behind her ears to her chest. The cheongsam was embroidered with purple platycodon flowers and black jade beads, and was as cool as the owner of the clothes.

The woman was sipping tea. She raised her eyes when she heard the voice, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful.

When he saw her face clearly, Nan Ke's ears suddenly buzzed and he almost screamed out.

What a familiar face!

Like when she was a kid...

"Nice to meet you, Nan Ke."

The woman looked at her, her purple eyes gentle, and it was hard to tell whether they were filled with the kindness of an elder or with restrained nostalgia.

Nan Ke suppressed his confusion and asked, "...Miss Liu?"

"My name is Ying, Lei Dianying." The woman corrected and motioned Nan Ke to take a seat. "You haven't had breakfast yet? Let's talk while we eat."

Kamisato Ayato took Nan Ke to sit down opposite and said with a smile: "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Nan Ke was so confused when he saw the menu handed to him by the waiter that he had no mood to order anything.

I was hesitating whether to ask Lei about the movie.

"When I first moved here ten years ago, Miss Ying came to help me move. You two met once."

Kamisato Ayato seemed to know what Nan Ke was thinking, and asked her with a faint smile,

"I wonder if you still have any impression?"

Nan Ke clenched his hands on his knees, and after a while, he slowly relaxed them, curled his lips and shook his head: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

Lei Dianying seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "People's memory is limited, it's normal."

Nan Ke was a little reserved. After Kamisato Ayato ordered her own dishes, she leaned over slightly to help Nan Ke order.

A graceful old man and a quiet and introverted girl.

Whispering, the atmosphere seems intimate.

Lei Dianying looked at them and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After ten years, there is still a gap between the close and distant relatives.

This picture not only caught Lei Dianying's eyes.

The waiter was standing outside the curtain waiting for the menu. He saw another customer coming back to ask for his food, so he dutifully pulled up the curtain for him. However, he saw the young man standing at the door, staring inside without moving.

"Hello?" After three seconds, the waiter couldn't help asking, "Can I help you..."

"No need." The other party's eyes turned cold and he walked inside.

Before coming, Kamisato Ayato said, "They are waiting inside."

There was also tableware on the empty seat next to Lei Dianying.

Since Lei movies are not "streaming".

Then “flow” should be this person who has not appeared yet.

Therefore, Nan Ke was not surprised when a strange boy entered the private room.

Kamisato Ayato was helping Nan Ke pick vegetables with a pencil, keeping a distance from her. Suddenly, a hand dropped from the sky and rested on his shoulder that was closest to her.

Kamisato Ayato who was inexplicably pushed to the side:?

Nan Ke dodged in the opposite direction and turned to look at the person who came.

The boy had a cold pale complexion, short dark purple hair and eyes, and was very similar to Lei Dianying.

For a moment, Nan Ke felt that time was blurry.

Is it because time flies and her memory is fuzzy, and just seeing a similar person caused her to have illusions one after another?

Or is it fate that brings them together again?

Then, the young man pushed Kamisato Ayato away, his eyes and eyebrows forming a soft arc, looking at her and smiling: "Nan Ke."

Nanke suddenly woke up.

Putting aside the fact that so many years have passed, even if that person appeared in person, he would not be the same as she remembered.

More importantly, the boy can see it.

It can't be him.

"Hello." Nan Ke's eyes flickered slightly, and he noticed that the young man raised his hands as if he wanted to hug him. His heart tightened, and he quickly dodged to the side.

The young man was stunned, his hand suspended in mid-air.

"A-Ryu," Kamisato Ayato patted the boy's chest with the menu, "It's better to maintain social distance when meeting someone for the first time."

As if he was dissatisfied with being taught a lesson, the young man frowned and glared at Kamisato Ayato, then paused slightly and raised the corners of his lips harmlessly.

"Who are you?" The young man leaned forward curiously and put one hand on the back of Kamisato Ayato's chair. "I don't think we know each other well?"

Kamisato Ayato adjusted his collar elegantly, stood up and held out his hand: "This is indeed the first time we meet, but Miss Ying should have introduced me to you. Hello, I am Kamisato Ayato."

"Oh, I remember now--" the boy drawled out his voice.

He put on a polite smile and shook hands with Kamisato Ayato.

"It's Uncle Kamisato. Sorry, you look a lot older than in the photo. I didn't recognize you. I guess you must be tired after driving all night."

Kamisato Ayato: "Haha."

Kamisato Ayato glanced at Nan Ke, who was stiff because of the stranger's approach, and shook hands with the boy and pulled him away: "By the way, I just ordered a fish maw chicken, let's go and get the dipping sauce for the ladies."

A Liu had just come in, and Kamisato Ayato did not hide his intention to send people away.

The two men went out while talking, and when only Nan Ke and Lei Dianying were left in the room, Nan Ke sat up straight, unable to look up: "Sorry."

"That kid sometimes doesn't know his limits." Lei Dianying didn't care. He gently stroked the teacup in his hand and said, "Actually, there's something I'm not comfortable saying in front of Ayato about renting a house to you."

Nan Ke's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Lei Dianying and A Liu seem to be a family. Could it be that her action of avoiding A Liu just now made Lei Dianying unhappy?

"Miss Ying..."

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." Lei Dianying smiled slightly, "I heard that you plan to go to A University. A Liu just transferred here recently. I plan to send him to the Affiliated High School of A University."

A University is only two blocks away from its affiliated high school.

"Do you want me to help take care of him?" Nan Ke understood the implication.

"That's about it," Lei Dianying asked, "Do you mind living with A Liu?"

Nanke was stunned.

"A Liu and I are not close, and as for his personality... it would be hard to say that he is likable among a group of teenagers." Lei Dianying explained, "If you don't want to, I will rent another one for him."

Nan Ke was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

In order to rent a house to her, you rent someone else's house for your relatives to live in?

She couldn't quite comprehend the logic behind it.

More importantly, Lei Diandian in front of him had a sincere look on his face, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with letting young boys and girls of similar age live together.

"Miss Ying..." Nan Ke looked strange, "Have you asked A Liu for his opinion?"

"He's very happy that you came and won't have any objection."

Nan Ke was stuck.

Nan Ke thought about the rental information she had checked online before coming here. Rent was one thing, but there were only a few people willing to rent to her for two months.

But when he thought of A Liu's warm hug just now, Nan Ke still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Then, A Liu's face involuntarily appeared in front of Nan Ke's eyes again.

If Lei's movies are just like...

A Liu's appearance was exactly the same as the person in her memory.

Even though he knew it couldn't be the same person, Nan Ke found it difficult to refuse immediately because of this face.

Nan Ke hesitated for a long time, and after several attempts to comfort himself, he suddenly saw something bright.

"Ms. Ying, is A Liu the transfer student back from abroad?" Nan Ke asked.

"Huh?" Lei Dianying raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Uh..." Lei Dianying's eyes wandered, "For the time being, it's considered a foreign country?"

So, what A Liu did just now should have been just a normal greeting?

Nan Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If you have seen the house and it seems okay, I... don't mind living with you. By the way, may I know the approximate rent..."

……

The dip dish is just an excuse.

"Forget about the small talk. Just speak your mind."

The wanderer leaned against the condiment table with his arms folded, watching Kamisato Ayato slowly pour the sauce into the small bowl.

"Do you know Miss Nan Ke?" Kamisato Ayato asked without raising her head.

The wanderer narrowed his eyes and looked at Kamisato Ayato from head to toe: "You want to show off your power to me?"

"It seems that you just came to this world and don't know her yet." Kamisato Ayato shook his head, scooped a spoonful of candied peanuts, pondered for two seconds, and added two large spoonfuls of basil and Houttuynia cordata, "Do you know why Miss Nan Ke avoided you just now?"

The wanderer's face darkened.

He finally waited for the reunion, but was rejected by the other party. Of course, he reflected on it.

But as Kamisato Ayato said, he didn't understand Nan Ke well enough now, and the reason was really hard to figure out.

"Ms. Nan Ke is very sensitive to the touch of others," Kamisato Ayato explained, "especially the opposite sex, even to the point of disgust."

"What?" The wanderer frowned, "She wasn't like this before."

"No, it should be said that Miss Nan Ke was originally like this, but thanks to some people, she was corrected when we didn't know."

Kamisato Ayato finally finished preparing a carefully prepared dipping sauce. Satisfied, he stood up and put the bowl aside, looking at the wanderer.

"The reason is that she's been through some bad things, and I can't reveal the details. What I mean is, this time, it's up to us to overcome this, you know?"

The wanderer and Kamisato Ayato looked at each other for a long time, then he raised his chin slightly and sneered.

What? It seems that even if I had come ten years earlier, it would have been just like this.

A guy who thinks he can take over the magpie's nest.

I don’t know yet that he is about to live with Nan Ke.

"It's 'me'." The wanderer emphasized, picked up Kamisato Ayato's colorful dipping sauce, and poured it into the trash can.

"My store will also move here." Kamisato Ayato was not moved by his provocative tone and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait, this is for Miss Nan Ke."

“Not even dogs would eat this.”

"Ms. Nan Ke likes sweet food."

"Huh? Fish maw chicken is sweet..."
