Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

She patted the hem of her skirt gently, brushing away the gloom from just now and cheering herself up.

Then, she slowly stood up, her posture upright and graceful, like a rose that has been baptized by wind and rain and bloomed again, full of renewed vitality.

She turned around, faced Shao Yun, held out her hand and said, "Okay, the break is over, let's continue painting the road on the city wall."

Shao Yun sighed inwardly, you are indeed the Noel who never gives up. Your self-regulation ability is too strong. You were a little emo a few seconds ago, but now you seem to have endless energy and continue to paint the wall.

Facing the hand extended by Noel, Shao Yun shook his head gently and declined Noel's kindness.

"I'm just a little tired, not terminally ill. Don't underestimate me." Although his voice was low, it revealed an unquestionable tone.

After saying that, he stood up with a somersault and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.

Noelle looked at him with more understanding and respect, and said softly, "Well, okay, keep on brushing the road."

Just after picking up the brush, Shao Yun tapped Noelle's shoulder and joked, "Why don't you take a break? I think you haven't rested enough."

Noelle turned her head slightly, her eyes moving over Shao Yun, looking him up and down.

"Mr. Shao Yun," she finally spoke, her voice as firm as ever, "We still have to complete the mission Captain Kaia has assigned us."

It seemed like he was warning himself and also reminding Shao Yun that although he would change, he would not change his determination to persevere.

Shao Yun understood Noelle's deep meaning and laughed, "You learn really fast. I was just testing you and you performed very well."

His words were full of praise, and he was obviously very satisfied with Noelle. If she could not become a knight in the future, then there would be no need for the Knights Templar to exist.

However, after a morning of boring work, in his eyes, such work of painting the city wall did not seem to have much significance.

Shao Yun pointed to the road ahead that had not been plowed yet, frowned slightly, and made his point clear.

"What I meant was that we have been clearing the way for the whole morning, and you have seen that no one has come to the top of the city wall except the two of us. After my instructions to you just now, you also understand what Kaia meant by asking you to clear the way."

Noelle looked at Shao Yun, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. She now understood that this was a task tailored for her because they were afraid that she would fall into danger.

But she decided to obey Captain Kaia's orders and complete the mission.

Noelle pretended to obey Shao Yun's opinion, let go of the long-handled brush, spread his hands and looked at Shao Yun.

"Mr. Shao Yun, I understand what you mean." Her voice was soft but firm, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a graceful arc.

Noelle finally got the idea. The road-clearing business is finally over. Even if we need to clear the road, we should call more people!

Just when Shao Yun thought that she accepted his opinion and was about to ask her to leave together, Noelle suddenly stretched out his fist and gently hit Shao Yun's stomach.

This sudden action made Shao Yun a little stunned. He looked at Noel with confusion in his eyes.

Noelle had a mischievous smile on his face, his hands on his hips, looking like he was giving orders.

"Don't waste time. We have already brushed several meters while you're talking. Let's get to work!" Noel said with a hint of playfulness and urging in his voice.

After saying that, Noelle turned around, picked up the long-handled brush on the ground, and continued to brush the road.

Shao Yun looked at Noel who was still insisting on brushing the road in front of him with a smile and tears, and shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this stubborn Noel in his heart.

If it were me, I would have quit long ago.

"Okay, I understand." Shao Yun said, with a helpless smile on his face, "Since you have decided to do this, I will accompany you to the end."

After saying that, Shao Yun also picked up the brush and continued working with Noel.

……

Another afternoon of work.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the walls of Mondstadt, dyeing this city full of freedom and vitality with a light golden hue.

Shao Yun and Noelle stood on the city wall, their gazes gradually becoming deep and distant as the sun slowly set.

Shao Yun gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a carefree smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at Noelle beside him, and asked impatiently: "We are done, right?"

There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of a sense of relief at having completed the task.

I was thinking that when Ying comes back, I will definitely slap Kaiya a few times and make him fly!

Noelle glanced back and forth on the wall to check if there was anything she had missed. Then, she nodded and answered with certainty.

"It seems that it is."

"Rest, rest, I'm dying of exhaustion!"

Shao Yun threw the brush aside and couldn't wait to find a comfortable place to sit down.

Finally, we chose a location on the city wall above the city gate, where the view was wide and the breeze was cool, making it a great place to rest.

Shao Yun, leaning against the wall, let out a long breath, as if he wanted to expel all his fatigue with this breath, enjoying his leisure time after work.

Seeing this, Noelle followed and sat next to Shao Yun.

The two of them kept a certain distance, mainly because it was too hot after work and they needed ventilation to dissipate the heat.

Shao Yun closed his eyes and let the evening breeze blow across his cheeks, taking away the heat from his body.

In this peaceful and beautiful moment, Noelle suddenly thought of something. She stood up and said to Shao Yun, "By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I remember I said a few days ago that I would give you a thank-you gift..."

However, Shao Yun waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary: ​​"Don't thank me, don't let me continue working, letting me take a breath is the best way to thank you."

I am exhausted as a dog today. Rest is the best gift. I don’t want to worry too much about how to express my gratitude.

Suddenly a prompt popped up on the system.

You have triggered Noelle's thank-you event at the city gate three days later. This is an important main quest, please treat it with caution.

What main quest? This is at most an invitation quest. I don’t have the energy to go through the storyline right now.

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Noelle shook his head and insisted: "How can that be possible? Just wait!"

After saying that, she stood up to prepare a gift, as if she had made up her mind to make Shao Yun accept this gift.

If you can’t persuade him, just remind him.

"Hey, Noelle, I can't accept anything valuable!"

Noelle waved without even turning back, her voice full of anticipation and joy.

"Don't worry, it's not expensive, it's delicious!"

Oh, it's food, that's all. I worked all day, ate a sunset fruit, drank a bottle of wine, and my stomach started to rebel.

Shao Yun looked at Noelle's excited back, afraid that she would choose to cook by herself, so he quickly reminded her loudly.

"Don't cook for yourself! Just go to the Deer Hunter and buy something. I'll pay for it!"

But since the distance was too far, I didn't know whether Noelle heard it or not.

After a while, Noel really came with tables, chairs, benches, and ingredients.

She was exhausted and panting, but her face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Shao Yun got up with a start and helped Noel unload the things. Seeing Noel sweating profusely but still insisting on doing it, he muttered, "Oh my God, you are more stubborn than a donkey!"

She put the things down, looked at Shao Yun, and said proudly: "The things I bought can't express my feelings at all. They must be made by hand, but I'm afraid that they will get cold after I hand them over, so..."

Shao Yun gently patted Noelle's head and joked, "Remind me next time not to ask you to prepare a banquet, even if it's something like a picnic. I'm afraid you'll get tired, and then if Captain Qin finds out, you'll see her carrying a fifty-meter-long sword to chop me down."

After hearing this, Noelle laughed out loud: "Hahaha, that's a very interesting description." He thought that this description of Captain Jean's angry look was very interesting.

Shao Yun helped Noel to simply arrange the table and chairs and set up a simple stove so that they could have a picnic on the city wall.

Noelle was busy preparing food. Her technique was skillful and quick, worthy of being the all-round maid of the Knights.

Soon, she was making her own signature dishes of thick cloud pancakes, braised meat with northern apples, and several wild mushroom and chicken skewers.

The aroma of delicious food permeates the air, making you salivate.

There is nothing more comfortable than enjoying delicious food after hard work. Even though your consumption rate has decreased, it does not mean that you can photosynthesize. You are not a god who does not eat grains!

Noelle placed the food on the table one by one and sat opposite Shao Yun.

"This is my thank you gift. Thank you for helping me clean up the mess a few days ago."

The city wall under the setting sun was covered with a faint golden color, as if covered with a layer of warm veil.

The bricks and stones on the city wall, under the reflection of the setting sun, exude an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

Shao Yun and Noelle sat face to face at a simple dining table. The delicious food prepared by Noelle exuded an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

Shao Yun looked at the delicacies on the table, took out a bottle of high-quality brandy from his bag (it slightly restored the core stamina and moderately restored the core Death Eye), and pulled out the cork.

Holding high this bottle of high-quality brandy, it looks particularly dazzling under the reflection of the setting sun, and the bottle is crystal clear like a shining gem.

The wine sways slowly in the bottle, emitting an enticing aroma that permeates the air.

Shao Yun raised his lips and celebrated in a loud and powerful voice: "Nothing can make you feel better than enjoying delicious food after hard work. Cheers to your health!"

After saying that, Shao Yun raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. As the wine flowed down his throat, an indescribable sense of satisfaction lingered in his heart.

After drinking, Shao Yun blinked comfortably and shook his head. A smile filled his face, as if all the fatigue had disappeared at this moment.

Seeing Noelle's slightly curious eyes, Shao Yun straightened his expression, put away the empty bottle, and said seriously: "Children can't drink alcohol!"
