Genshin Impact: Can’t the executive just give up?

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli." Rhine said happily.

Since Zhongli is willing to help, I can feel a lot more at ease.

"But since you have been secured, it would be safer for you to return to Dongzhi as soon as possible. As for Walnut, you can put it aside for now and don't delay important matters."

Zhongli looked at Rhine with some earnest words in his eyes.

"Well, this is also fine. Although it may seem like breaking an appointment, Hu Tao can understand." Rhine was a little hesitant. After all, he had promised Hu Tao, should he...

"Haha, although Hu Tao is small, he is a sensible person. You can rest assured about this." Zhongli smiled, but there was deep meaning in his eyes.

Rhine shrugged and said nothing.

Since the old man said so, there was no need for him to hesitate.

After that, Rhine said goodbye to Zhongli and went to Chihuyan to tell Hutao the "truth".

Although Walnut felt a little sorry, she did not try to keep him and even gave him a signed collection of poems before parting with Rhine.

"What's wrong with Zhongli? He seems like he can't wait for me to leave. Is it an illusion?" Rhine returned to the Northland Bank with Walnut's collection of poems.

"Dear Miss Rosalin, long time no see. Come and give me a hug."

As soon as he saw Rosalin, Rhine opened his arms and walked towards her. When he was about to get close to her, he was held up by Rosalin's arms and prevented from getting any closer.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't you guys consider my feelings?" Tartaglia sat aside, holding his face with his hands, looking weak.

"Hey, Tartaglia, what's wrong with you?"

Rhine let go of Rosaline's struggling hand, and seeing that Tartaglia was also there, he gave up the urge to kiss the back of her hand.

There's nothing I can do. It's not that he's lustful, it's just that to maintain a relationship as colleagues, there has to be some interaction.

Rosalin answered for Tartaglia: "It's nothing, he just asked me how to continue to seize the Heart of God. But at that time, I told him your plan."

Tartaglia also raised her eyelids and looked at Rhine, her eyes full of arrogance: "I didn't expect that, my friend, you would play me around."

After learning the truth, Tartaglia was not angry, but just a little surprised.

When the "lady" "kindly" told him the truth, Tartaglia really didn't expect that the person who played the most important role in their trip to Liyue was actually Rhine.

He actually thought Rhine was traveling all day long.

……

Liyue Harbor North Pier.

Standing on the boat returning to Winter, Rhine looked up at the Jade Pavilion floating in the sky.

"Why, you can't bear to leave your old lover?" Rosalin folded her arms, walked out of the cabin, and stared at Rhine who was standing in Class A.

"Where is Tartaglia?" Rhine did not answer Rosalin's question, but was curious about where another colleague had gone.

If Tartaglia still plans to do something in Liyue Harbor, it would be more difficult for Ningguang and the others to deal with it without his help.

"Tsk, the 'young master' was fooled by you and wanted to relax in Liyue Harbor and wait for the next ship to return to Winter Solstice." Rosaline said indifferently.

"After all, I don't get along with him, and now you've lied to him. I guess the 'Young Master' doesn't want to ride on the same boat with us."

Although there was concern in Rosalyn's words, her tone was full of mockery.

Obviously, she didn't think highly of this reckless colleague.

"It doesn't matter." Rhine didn't care. Although he did deceive Tartaglia this time, Tartaglia was not a petty person.

At worst, I can compensate him later, or tell him the plan next time.

On the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang stood at the edge of the platform, watching the Winter Fleet slowly sailing out of Liyue Harbor, her eyes calm.

"What, do you miss him?"

Ye Lan walked out of the Qun Yu Pavilion and looked at Ning Guang who was standing silently, with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "Tian Quan Ning Guang is not a person who is dependent on others. If you don't like that executive officer, why not give him a letter of divorce?

How dare he take more than he wants in Liyue? If I were the one who made the rules, I would definitely expel him from Liyue."

Ningguang didn't turn around and asked softly, "Oh? Then why didn't our intelligence officer dump him?"

"Tsk, he's just a scumbag. When you get tired of playing with him, just throw him away." Ye Lan pouted: "Anyway, I won't be emotional. In my eyes, he's just a toy."

Watching the ship go away, Ningguang slowly turned around, lowering her eyebrows: "He still has some value to me. When the birds are gone, the good bow will be put away. When he is no longer useful, I will just throw him away."

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said." Rhine stood aside and watched the two people testing each other.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Lan's face flashed with joy, and she turned her head to look at Lai Yin: "Lai Yin, it's a good thing that you still remember me... Well, why are you here? Aren't you going back to Zhidong?"

Ningguang also raised her eyes, quietly hiding the surprise in her eyes: "Mr. Executive, what are you doing here in my Jade Pavilion? Shouldn't you be on Zhidong's ship?"

"I want to leave too, but I still have concerns in my heart. Although my body is on the ship, my heart remains here." Rhine spread his hands.

"Slippery tongue." Ye Lan interrupted: "Since your heart is here, why not let me try to get as much information out of you?"

As she spoke, she embraced Rhine and placed her slender hands on his chest.

"There should be a room for you in the Qun Yu Pavilion. Why don't you use it as an interrogation room so that I can interrogate you properly~" Ye Lan stood on tiptoe and rubbed Rhine's earlobe with her soft lips.

"Ye Lan, this is my Qun Yu Pavilion." Ningguang frowned, her elegant and noble face unable to hide her anger.

"Wouldn't it be better if I didn't let you see it, or do you want to 'interrogate' this executive officer with me?" There was no shyness on Ye Lan's face, but rather a hint of provocation.

"Shameless." Ningguang turned her head away. "Mr. Bai's room has become a study. Now my bedroom is the only one in the entire Jade Pavilion. Are you still going to my place?"

"Oh, is that so." Ye Lan tucked her soft hair behind her ears, stared at Lai Yin and said, "I remember there is a large open-air green plant on the Qun Yu Pavilion, with lush vegetation, which should be able to hide the size of the two of us.

How about trying this kind of interrogation in the open air high in the sky?"

Ningguang bit her teeth lightly: "That's enough, Yelan, don't go too far!"

For a while, the two were in a stalemate.

"Hey, Ningguang, Yelan, I'm just here to say goodbye to you this time. Time is a bit tight and I need to get back to the ship as soon as possible." Rhine mediated.

Thanks to the help of Zhongli and Albedo, Rhine is able to use part of the "Heavenly Law", but if it is delayed too long, the incomplete "Heavenly Law" may not be able to cross the long distance and allow Rhine to return to the distant ship.

“It won’t be too late to come back to Liyue after my strength is fully restored,” he advised.

“Oh? Who are you looking for in Liyue?” Ningguang raised her forehead and asked in a cold voice.

"I will naturally look for whoever is unwilling to abandon me." Rhine kneaded Ye Lan's perky buttocks before leaving her arms and walking to the edge of the platform of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Okay, don't be angry." He picked up Ningguang's jade hand and lightly touched her tender fingers with his lips.

"So, goodbye."

Putting down Ningguang's hand, Lai Yin stood at the edge of the Jade Pavilion, with his back to Liyue Harbor, and lay down facing the sky.

Summing his body to the idle wind, he fell to the ground. Looking at Ningguang who stretched out her delicate head and Ye Lan who came to look down, his vision was gradually filled with black and red.

The next moment, Rhine opened his eyes again, and all he could see were the waves.
