Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

"Ying, I'm back from Liyue. Look what I brought you."

A scent wafted through the air, and long pink hair fell from the side of her face. A string of green candied haws swayed in front of her eyes:

"Clang, the refreshing candied haws."

Ganyu's treasures were asked for a string by the Eightfold God's Son.

Ying took the candied haws, but didn't eat it. She turned it gently in her hand and looked at the smiling Miss Fox.

She always seems so happy and full of energy.

That's it... that's good.

Yae Shinko could tell at a glance that she was worried, and immediately sat down opposite her with her long white legs crossed.

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, like a cow chewing a peony:

"Ah, you don't know what happened in Liyue this time. Shopkeeper Ting knows, right? Sister Ganyu actually knows where Shopkeeper Ting lives..."

Ying looked at her quietly and listened quietly.

Listening to Yae Shinko's excited description of her journey, as if she could tell a story about the four-day trip,

Only Ying knew that this was telling her not to indulge in memories, that the world outside was also wonderful, and that she should look forward like her.

Miss Fox is really a very good friend.

After Kanreya, the two of them supported each other and made Ying understand this truth even more clearly.

but...

"I'm sorry... Shenzi,"

Ying suddenly closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and clenched his fists on his knees:

"I need to retreat for a while."

The period of time here is not one or two years, but... unknown.

Sometimes the unknown is the longest.

The retreat here is not cultivation, but meditation.

Only in meditation can time pass quickly, and she can calm down and not think about those heart-wrenching things...

A hundred years later, she finally chose to escape.

After the retreat, it means that the Son of God will be alone from now on.

That's why she went to Inazuma Castle to take a look.

But when she saw that Shen Zi had opened a small bookstore for her, she felt relieved.

It seems that she won't be too lonely alone.

After all, Ying still felt a little guilty, so he closed his eyes and waited for the angry rebuke from Yae Shinko...

But... for a long time,

A faint sigh,

There was a rustling sound, and Yaejinko seemed to stand up, followed by the sound of footsteps.

at last...

Her neck was suddenly hugged, and a warm body pressed against her back, making her cheeks itchy.

She opened her eyes and saw pink hair brushing her face gently.

"Son of God...?"

"Ying, you've done very well. If you're tired, go and take a rest... I'm always by your side. Leave everything here to me."

"..."

Ying suddenly froze.

...

The two of them had always quarreled before, and they never got tired of quarreling for hundreds of years, and even regarded it as a daily routine...

Until Ying came back from Kanreya in a daze, with only a bloody knife in his hand.

Yae Shinko suddenly realized that quarreling was actually quite boring.

Even she didn't know how Ying managed to survive those days.

My sister is gone, my friends are gone,

In front of me are piles of government affairs that I don't understand at all, and below me is a devastated country...

Endless sorrow, countless things, falling like a mountain,

The shadow was able to survive and has survived until now, a hundred years...

It's already great.

Now that she wanted to take a break, the Son of God had no reason to be angry, let alone disagree.

...

"This is the Heart of God. You must keep it for me while I am in seclusion."

The shadow general handed the Heart of God that he had picked up from Kanriya to Yae Shinto.

"what?"

The Eightfold Son of God held the Heart of God and let out a light exclamation.

"what happened?"

"nothing,"

Yae God Son shook his head and put away the Heart of God.

Ying didn't think much about it and continued:

"As for state affairs...I'll find a way."

...

The Eightfold God Son is the Baichen Fox Fairy, and has learned all the skills of the Master of the Fox Palace.

So she can more or less see the future, and recall some truths of the past...

After all, I was too young to practice cultivation, and when the past and future events appeared in my dreams, they were only fragments of words...

But Yae God was really smart. After piecing these fragments together, he understood a fact.

What history hides...

And the Heart of God that Ying handed to her today made her confirm this guess.

"Lord Rock, you were present during the Kanreya catastrophe. Can you tell me what happened on that day?"

That night, Yae Godson sat cross-legged under the sacred cherry tree and communicated with the earth veins:

"Also, Inazuma's Heart of God, I always feel..."

"..."

There was silence for a while, then a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you the specific circumstances of that day. As for the Thunder God's Heart... your feeling is correct. There is no Thunder God ruling the world anymore."

"what?"

This news shocked Yae Shinko.

"If you don't want to incur divine punishment, remember two words,"

It says:

"usual."

...

The reason why he couldn't tell her was simple, because it was a secret known only to the five gods present that day.

This is also the secret that Lei Films traveled to several countries that day and made countless inquiries, but still could not get the answer -

The God of Thunder and the Dragon of Thunder rebelled against the will of Heaven and were killed in Kanreya. The maintainers were heartbroken by their true feelings and therefore did not impose heaven's punishment on the Inazuma Kingdom.

As the pages of history books turn, countless truths are covered up.

...

Yae Shinko didn't know what "normal" meant. After thinking about it, he decided to hide the fact that the Heart of God was a fake from Ying.

However, I guess Ying doesn't have the energy to care about this matter now.

She was forging. She wanted to make a doll to replace her and maintain the most basic affairs of Inazuma.

Before leaving, Lei Dianzhen had already arranged everything. If it wasn't something related to national policy, even a pig could sit on the castle tower.

But a pig cannot sit on the castle tower. The Thunder General is the symbol of Inazuma, the people's will, and the confidence of everyone.

She had to be there.

So Ying wants to make a puppet that can replace himself, a puppet without emotions that can sit in front of everyone.

And now, the doll is missing the last part.

Yaejinko looked at the doll in front of her.

She has short purple hair, is short in stature, and looks almost 70% like Ying.

The puppet only needs to sit behind the scenes and does not need to come forward. The face is enough to resemble the puppet.

"What's her name?"

Watching Shadow's movements, Yae Shinko suddenly asked as if possessed by a mysterious force.

snap,

Lei Dianying pressed the last piece and looked at her strangely:

"It's just a puppet, why bother giving it a name?"

"Too..."

Yaejinko nodded, wanting to laugh at what she said.

"Yes, a person made of a bunch of parts, could he grow a heart for no reason?"

As soon as I finished speaking...

"Mother?"

A very small sound,

Yae Shinko was stunned for a moment, looked around, scratched his ears, and looked at Ying in surprise:

"Just now..."

She was about to speak, but she found that Ying was also stunned.

Ying stared blankly ahead, only to see the puppet slowly turn its head, seemingly looking at her, or at her heart.

"Mother?"

This time the sound was crystal clear.

...

Ying didn't notice that the pink and purple light surrounding the dream hidden in her heart had dimmed by half.
