Genshin Impact: Paimon and I are both Ying’s emergency food

There were already spots of moss on the bluestone ground, and the green tiles on the roof were crumbling.

It was obvious that this was an old house that had not been taken care of for a long time.

Tan Ningsu pushed open the old wooden door, walked through the corridor and strolled inside.

This is not a haunted house or a strange place. It is her family's old house where she lived as a child.

but……

She clearly remembered that although the old house was a bit old, it should still be in good condition.

Her retired grandparents love to cherish this old house, and uncles including her parents will come to help grandparents clean and repair it from time to time...

Why……

Stopping at a pavilion, Tan Ningsu sat on a stone bench, looking at the dried-up lotus pond next to him.

The next second, the surroundings suddenly became noisy.

Tan Ningsu knew that this was outside her residential area. When she was in elementary school, she passed by here every day.

People were coming and going around, and the place was bustling with activity, but Tan Ningsu couldn't see a single face or hear a single word.

It’s a dream…

This seemed to be the first time she had such a lucid dream since coming to Teyvat?

Raindrops were falling from the sky.

Tan Ningsu held up an umbrella.

Although the streets and scenery were very familiar in her memory, at this moment, Tan Ningsu felt a little strange.

Tan Ningsu continued walking in the rain.

[The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing.]

Somehow, I suddenly remembered this passage from Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".

Obviously, she is the owner of this dream...

But she couldn't feel any excitement, only loneliness.

The rain stopped and the sun seemed to smile again from behind the clouds. The originally wet air suddenly became dry.

Tan Ningsu sat on a bench in the park.

"My dear, you don't seem to enjoy this journey very much?"

A gentle voice sounded in Tan Ningsu's ears.

The next second, Tan Ningsu felt someone sitting next to him.

But she didn't look back, but continued to look forward with lifeless eyes.

"I do not know."

After a long time, Tan Ningsu spoke.

"You've been away from home for so long, have you made any friends?"

The gentle voice sounded in Tan Ningsu's ears again, so close yet so far away.

Figures flashed through Tan Ningsu's mind one after another.

[Susu.] [Susu!]

Finally, it stopped at two people.

"Have."

Tan Ningsu said with red eyes.

“Do you still feel scared even when you have friends with you?”

"Why do I seem to remember that someone would never be defeated by such a small thing?"

The voice was still as gentle as water, but this time it was filled with a hint of smile.

"Maybe it's because I can't turn a deaf ear to it..."

Tan Ningsu said slowly.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Coincidence, how can there be so many coincidences in this world?

Once or twice it can be said to be a coincidence or an accident, but what about three or four times, and even more and more "coincidences"?

She doesn’t play Genshin Impact, but her friends do.

Although she didn't know much about the plot, some of the characters and parts of the plot that she repeatedly elaborated on were imprinted in her mind.

A world that emphasizes "destiny"...

She would rather know nothing.

Tan Ningsu closed his eyes.

"Let me think about it..."

The gentle voice sounded again.

"A hundred years ago, someone predicted that we would be 'destroyed as a nation and exterminated', but what about now?"

"We...still stand tall among the nations of the world, and will remain so for a long time, forever..."

Tan Ningsu spoke with a slight sob.

“The wind cannot blow it down, and the fire cannot burn it out.”

"Perhaps, to put it in a more appropriate way for you... should it be "My fate is in my own hands"? "

The gentle voice was full of smiles.

Tan Ningsu suddenly felt a little ashamed in his loneliness.

It was obviously not her who said this.

“Don’t, don’t say that…”

Tan Ningsu blushed and spoke with difficulty.

"Man can conquer nature" sounds much more serious than "My destiny is in my own hands"!

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm going to die as if my middle school quotes were suddenly made public?

Tan Ningsu buried her face in her hands, wanting to cry but unable to.

"Look, didn't you make up your mind a long time ago?"

The gentle voice sounded in Tan Ningsu's ears again.

yes……

Tan Ningsu looked around again.

The wind blew up from the ground, and the breeze full of hope blew Tan Ningsu's hair.

"Some rules need to be maintained by us, but some rules should be broken by us!"

The gentle voice came again from behind Tan Ningsu.

Hearing this, Tan Ningsu's eyes widened slightly, and a faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Thank you, my unknown friend..."

Tan Ningsu sat under a big tree in the wind. The wind blew through the tree, and the branches and leaves rustled. In the whole space, there was no one except her.

Tan Ningsu felt the scent of the breeze and morning dew.

Although it is just a scene simulated by memory, the miracle of life still makes people feel shocked.

No wonder Wendy likes to stay under this tree.

In addition to the fact that he and Ms. Vanessa planted this tree together, it is probably because it is really comfortable to stay under this tree.

Stealing a half day of leisure...

Tan Ningsu closed his eyes with a relaxed mind and body.

"Susu!"

"Susu."

When he opened his eyes again, Tan Ningsu saw Paimeng and Ying looking worried.

"morning."

Tan Ningsu, who was still not fully awake, subconsciously said good morning.

"What do you mean early? It's already noon... why did you wake up just now?"

Paimon said with a slightly tearful voice, leaning on Tan Ningsu's shoulder.

All this time that we've known each other, Susu never sleeps in and usually wakes up very early!

It was rare that someone slept in today, and she wanted to make fun of him, but she couldn't wake Susu up no matter what, which made her and Ying very worried!

"what?"

"It's already noon?!"

Tan Ningsu was very shocked when he heard what Paimeng said.

Is this dream so long?!

"You didn't wake up no matter how I called you... Ying and I were so worried!"

Paimon said with tears in his eyes.

So exaggerated? !

Tan Ningsu looked at Ying, hoping to get her confirmation.

"Just like Paimon said, you woke up late this morning. We originally thought that you were too tired yesterday and you were resting, so we didn't disturb you. But it was almost noon and you didn't wake up, so we went upstairs to check on you, and then..."

Ying paused before continuing.

"Then Paimon realized that he couldn't wake you up no matter how hard he called you, until now, two hours later." You opened your eyes.

Ying looked at Tan Ningsu with a serious expression.
