Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

"Xiao Ruan?"

When he walked out, he saw a child crying silently in the corner.

"Ah? Brother Kong, are you done talking?"

Xiao Ruan wiped her face, then looked up and smiled at him pretending to be strong.

"You know it all."

"Ah? What do you know? I just arrived. This is the sweat I sweated when I helped Sister Brock light the fire. Brother Kong, what were you talking about with Durafu?"

But as Xiao Ruan spoke, her voice gradually became softer, and her little head gradually lowered.

"..."

He knew that the child in front of him was pretending, but he didn't know how to talk to this strong child, so he simply kept silent. Then he took out the [Nothingness] bag, took out a candy from it, and put it in Xiao Ruan's hand.

Xiao Ruan also trusted him very much, so he tore open the candy wrapper and put the candy into his mouth, then looked up and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Brother Kong. The candy is very sweet!"

Xiao Ruan chewed for a few seconds and then spoke again:

"Brother Kong, the meal that Sister Brock cooked should be ready by now, let's go together!"

"Well, let's go!"

He wanted to refuse, but considering Xiao Ruan's feelings, he accepted it.

After all, the power of [The End] is only temporary and cannot be retained forever. Things created by the power of [The End] will have their existence time determined by the energy consumed. Even if the food is eaten and digested, when it is time to disappear, the energy brought by the food will also disappear, as if it had never appeared.

……

After a sumptuous lunch, Xiao Ruan returned the glasses case and invited him to continue visiting Qingquan Town.

Qingquan Town is not very big, but it was already dusk when they finished the tour. The sky was surrounded by sunset glow, and golden clouds covered the blue sky, like a painting.

They returned to the windmill, sat on the green grass and looked out at the distant sky.

"Brother Kong! Look! That!"

Xiao Ruan suddenly pointed at some clouds in the sky. He looked over and found that the cloud looked a bit like three adults holding a child.

“Like a home.”

He recalled the scene of his adoptive parents and his sister playing on a flat meadow. The cloud looked like his adoptive parents walking with Ying, and he and his sister walking behind.

It's really nostalgic.

But it was also at that time that he watched the sky turn red, watched the green grass turn yellow, and watched everything being destroyed...

"Just like when my dad and mom hold my hand and go out to play together."

Xiao Ruan looked at the cloud and said.

"..."

He still did not respond to Xiao Ruan. The child in front of him was so strong that it made people feel pity. Why should such a young child have to endure so much sadness?

"It's okay, Brother Kong. When mom was gone, dad said that mom turned into a star in the sky to bless us. I think dad should be the same now."

Xiao Ruan said this while looking at the look of pity on his face.

"..."

"So Xiao Ruan won't cry. Xiao Ruan is very strong. Daddy and Mommy are just accompanying Xiao Ruan in a different way. They must be accompanying Xiao Ruan somewhere!"

"Well...I believe so."

He reached out and stroked Xiao Ruan's head again.

"Brother Kong, when the stars come out at night, let's go find out which two stars my parents have turned into!"

"Okay, it must be the two brightest ones!"

"Yeah, because this way they can see Xiao Ruan!"

The two continued to look at the dreamy sunset in the sky.

This lasted for a while until a person came and broke this pleasant mood.

"Xiao Ruan! Xiao Ruan!"

A tall and thin man ran over shouting.

"Brother Allen? What's wrong?"

Xiao Ruan asked as he looked at Alan who was running towards him in a hurry.

"It's not good. Xiao Ruan, go check it out. Your grandma..."

"What happened to my grandma?!!!"

Xiao Ruan seemed to know something and hurriedly got up and ran towards home.

"Not at your house, at the doctor's!"

Alan reminded Xiao Ruan from behind, and when he heard it, he turned around hurriedly and almost slipped.

He had no choice but to get up and follow.

……

We arrived at a bungalow, and there were many people standing outside the door. They were all villagers from Qingquan Town, and they were all whispering.

"I heard he had a heart attack."

"Oh, Xiao Ruan is such a pitiful child."

"Yes, my mother died young, and my father also... Well, now my only relative is gone too."

A woman patted the man.

"What are you talking about? Isn't the doctor there? Maybe it's just a simple slip!"

The man touched his head which had just been hit and answered embarrassedly.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Xiao Ruan used his short stature to weave through the crowd and quickly reached the house.

"What happened to my grandma?"

The doctor inside came out, didn't say anything, just sighed and shook his head.

Xiao Ruan understood what it meant.

At that moment, the child who had been pretending to be strong could no longer pretend.

His eyes immediately became moist and his nose turned red. He could no longer pretend and stood there crying silently.

He stood at the door, feeling very sad when he saw the child inside, and remembered that he was alone now too.

After all, his biological parents were missing, and even his adoptive parents were dead.

No, I have a younger sister and a hateful older sister...

……

That night, he attended the village banquet and witnessed the ancient burial in the village.

He also learned from Dulav that Xiao Ruan's grandmother had a recurrence of heart disease and myocardial infarction...

After the banquet, Xiao Ruan's mood improved a little.

He walked to Xiao Ruan. He could feel that the child who always had a smile on his face this morning no longer had a smile on his face. The little mouth that had been talking non-stop had now become quiet.

After all, the feeling of losing all your loved ones in one day, no matter how optimistic a child is, cannot remain the same.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Ruan spoke out in advance, as if she knew he was going to comfort him:

"I'm sorry, Brother Kong, you just got here and I let you see my bad side. I'm fine, don't worry about me!"

The tears on Xiao Ruan's face had dried, leaving two tear marks that had not been wiped away, indicating that Xiao Ruan had been crying alone for a long time.

Even in this state, I'm still thinking about him.

He couldn't think of how to evaluate the child in front of him for a moment.

"Xiao Ruan believes that grandma missed mom and dad so much that she went to heaven to find them."

"..."

"So, brother Kong, let's go to the windmill together later. I want to look for the three of them."

"it is good."

He was originally going to look for [Heart of Wind], but now he decided to spend time with the child in front of him.

……

When they walked to the windmill, they saw someone fishing for something next to the wishing well below.

Looking more closely, I found that it seemed to be the same Hopkins who was selling holy water this afternoon. He was holding a small bottle and filling it with water.

"What are you doing?"

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! Who, who is it!”

He stood there and shouted, and Hopkins was frightened by him. He quickly looked up and looked around, then put the small bottle in his pocket.

"above."

he reminded.

"Oh, it's you, the morning traveler. Phew, you scared me to death."

"What are you doing."

"Ah... I... I am feeling the revelation from the spring spirit. She is very unhappy with your refusal to be baptized by holy water this morning!"

Hopkins is talking nonsense in all seriousness.

"I saw it. You were drinking ordinary spring water."

"Nonsense! What you see is just appearance. I am a person who was granted a sacred position by the spring spirit. How can it be ordinary after passing through my magical hands, Hopkins? If you don't believe me, buy a bottle and try it?"

They really are always promoting that fake holy water.

Suddenly a blue meteor streaked across the night sky, attracting the attention of three people.

"Brother Kong, look! Shooting stars! So many blue shooting stars!"

He looked up and saw dozens of meteors streaking across the night sky with blue tails.

"It's a meteor shower, Xiao Ruan, make a wish quickly."

He said to Xiao Ruan.

"it is good!"

Xiao Ruan clasped his hands together again, faced the night sky and closed his eyes.

The meteor shower is short, with occasional purple meteors flashing by.

After the meteor shower, countless twinkling stars appeared in the night sky.

"Look, Brother Kong, those three stars!"

He looked in the direction of Xiao Ruan's hand.

There were three stars hanging in a row in the night sky. He could recognize that it was the Big Dipper, but today, abnormally, two stars appeared next to it. All three stars were very bright, much brighter than the other stars, just like Xiao Ruan said, they had become stars.

"Brother Kong! That's right, my parents and grandma have all turned into stars in the sky! They must be looking at me now!"

After some time, Xiao Ruan invited Kong to sleep at his house.

He agreed.

He followed Xiao Ruan into the lonely tile-roofed house, and his instrument suddenly rang.

He took out the instrument and looked at it.

The above shows three signals appearing simultaneously in one place.

The purple signal, the light blue signal, and the scarlet signal.

"What happened..."
