The three continued walking in the forest, but the sky gradually darkened, indicating that night was about to fall.

"Let's find a place to rest first. The forest is still very dangerous at night."

Ying said after stopping.

"Listen to you!"

Tan Ningsu and Paimeng answered obediently.

The stars are twinkling in the sky, and the moon is exceptionally bright.

The three of them sat around the campfire and enjoyed today's dinner.

"Sometimes I find it quite magical that I can often see pots placed outdoors in the wild..."

While waiting for dinner, Tan Ningsu looked at the pot in front of him and couldn't help complaining.

"Because there are so many adventurers in Teyvat, they are all over the world, in the jungles and snowfields."

"During the adventure, the seniors always prepare some surprises for the juniors. Over time, traces of adventurers are left everywhere on the continent."

It's time for the best guide Paimon to appear!

"Forefathers planted trees, and future generations enjoy the shade."

“Is this the embodiment of the virtue of passing on the torch?!”

Tan Ningsu said very moved.

These two have been together for a long time, and even their tone of voice has become similar...

Ying thought to herself.

After dinner, the three of them ate the sunset fruits that Tan Ningsu had picked in the morning and put in the Yingyi Dimension backpack, enjoying the rare leisure time.

"Yingxiaoxiao, take a rest first. Paimon and I will keep watch all night. If you encounter any danger, we will wake you up!"

Tan Ningsu said as he munched on a sunset fruit.

"That's right!"

"Ying, you must stay healthy. After all, you are the pillar of the family!"

Paimon quickly replied.

"Ah."

Ying replied.

When resting in the wild at night, there must be someone on guard, otherwise you might die without knowing how.

Among the three of them, only she has fighting power. The other two are so weak that they will be defeated even when facing slimes, so it is very important for her to conserve her energy.

Tonight is Christmas Eve.

"Aha~"

“I slept so well!”

Paimon opened his eyes from Tan Ningsu's arms, stretched and said.

"How dare you say that..."

"We agreed to keep watch together, but in the middle of the night he fell asleep on top of me..."

Tan Ningsu looked at Paimeng with a dim gaze and said.

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing Tan Ningsu's words, Paimeng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Do you need to rest for a while before leaving?"

Ying spoke up.

"It's okay. I'm not that sleepy. Anyway, after coming to Teyvat, I found that I sleep less and feel more energetic."

“Sometimes I can’t sleep well…”

As Tan Ningsu was talking, she missed the high-quality sleep she had at home. (When I woke up, it was already lunch time, and I missed the morning perfectly.)

"We will try to enter Mondstadt today and find a doctor to see you. I am a little worried about your physical condition."

Ying nodded first, then spoke again.

"Uh-huh."

Tan Ningsu nodded obediently in response.

After cleaning up the camp, the three continued walking in the forest, trying to enter Mondstadt today.

"It looks like we're about to leave the forest!"

Seeing that the originally lush trees around him began to decrease, Tan Ningsu's tone became excited.

"Yeah, if we walk a little further after leaving the Whispering Forest, we'll be able to see Mondstadt!"

The reliable guide Paimon appeared again and said.

"Hey! You guys—wait a minute!"

A clear and lively girl's voice came from behind.

The three of them stopped in confusion and turned to look behind them.

"Why don't you see anyone?"

Just as Tan Ningsu spoke, Ying heard footsteps running towards them quickly in the woods, and subconsciously protected the two of them behind her.

The next second, a girl wearing a red headband jumped down from a small hill on the upper left and landed in front of the three people.

"May the wind god protect you, stranger."

"I am Amber, a scout knight of the Knights of the West Wind."

The girl bowed to the three people and introduced herself in a cheerful tone.

"Are you three not citizens of Mondstadt?"

"Then please identify yourself."

Amber spoke quickly, as if she was afraid of being interrupted.

The three people being stared at by Amber were a little nervous. Well... to be precise, only Tan Ningsu and Paimeng were nervous. Ying, on the other hand, looked very relaxed.

"Calm down, we are not suspicious persons--"

Paimon spoke quickly.

Paimon, don't you think you look more suspicious when you talk like this?

"Any suspicious person would say that."

Tan Ningsu's inner complaints were synchronized with Amber's words.

"Hello, I'm Ying."

Ying began to introduce herself.

"My name is Tan..."

"Her name is Tan Susu, and we are together."

Tan Ningsu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ying.

Although it’s okay to call her “Tan Susu”, wouldn’t that be impolite?

Tan Ningsu was a little confused, but out of trust in Ying, she did not say anything and chose to agree.

"I'm Tan Susu, hello!"

Following Ying's words, Tan Ningsu spoke again.

"Hmm...it doesn't sound like a local name."

The former naming method is relatively rare, and the latter sounds like the name of Liyue.

Amber's tone was a little hesitant.

"And this...mascot? What's going on with that?"

Amber turned her gaze to Paimon.

"It's emergency food number 2!"

"It's a friend..."

Tan Ningsu and Ying spoke at the same time, and Ying seemed a little helpless when she heard Tan Ningsu's words.

"That's totally wrong! Tan Susu, your introduction is not even as good as what people say about the mascot!"

Paimon said angrily.

She didn't notice anything wrong when she introduced Tan Ningsu as Tan Susu to Ying. After all, that was what she called Tan Ningsu when she was angry.

"In short, you three are travelers, right?"

Amber looked at the three people joking with each other, nodded and said.

"There are giant dragons around Mond recently, so it's better for you to get into the city as soon as possible."

"This place is not far from Mondstadt. As a knight, I will escort you there."

Amber first reminded the three of them, and then said worriedly.

He is a good person!

Also, I didn’t realize it just now, but there are female knights in the other world!

Tan Ningsu was surprised in his heart.

"Eh? Don't you have any other missions outside the city?"

Paimon asked while Tan Ningsu was still surprised.

"Of course! But don't worry, your safety will be guaranteed during the mission."

There was a hint of panic in Amber's tone, and then she immediately spoke reliably.

"Besides...I can't just leave suspicious people alone!"

Amber said next.

"This address is impolite to guests."

Ying spoke.

But she was right, wasn't she? The three of them were indeed suspicious!

Tan Ningsu added with a wandering look in his eyes.

Hey! You're standing over there!

When Paimeng saw this, he immediately made eye contact with Tan Ningsu.

Of course I'm on our side! You see, I didn't say it out loud~

Tan Ningsu said.

Okay, I forgive you!

Paimon said again.

"Small theater (used to fill in some settings):

"Talking about Ning Su, it sounds like a teacher calling the roll in class. It's too serious and doesn't fit the relationship between me and Su Su at all!"

"Then why not call me Susu?"

"Ha, SuSu is not someone you stinky boys can just call me!"

"What should it be called?"

The pressure is on the person involved.

Being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Tan Ningsu raised his hand tremblingly and said:

"How about... calling Tan Susu?"

"Tan Susu..."

After a moment of silence.

"I think it's okay."

“Intimate yet polite, solemn yet lively… I think it’s great!”

"Did your Chinese class have a physical education teacher...what kind of adjectives are those..."

"Aren't we all taught by the same teacher?"

The noisy little group is a symbol of the never-ending youth.
