The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"It has nothing to do with Paimon, and Paimon doesn't have to make such a big sacrifice."

Chen Tianfeng couldn't help laughing, his eyes were rarely gentle, and his impression of the little mascot was slightly improved.

"Why is that?" Paimon scratched his hair.

Ying also stared at him, waiting for an answer.

Yes, why?

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and explained: "I may not be suitable for traveling with others. Traveling is just a whim. Maybe I will lose interest at any time and turn back on the way, or simply stop somewhere in the middle of the journey."

"This is also good. When you want to stop, it means that you have completed your journey-you have reached the end, not stopped in the middle of the journey."

Ying shook her head and smiled brightly: "As long as you don't leave without saying goodbye."

She was shocked. It turned out to be just this reason. I didn't expect Tianfeng to be such a... um, such a pure boy.

There was a smile in Ying's eyes.

Chen Tianfeng was like a pure-hearted rookie who had never been in love. He finally met the girl he liked and even thought of the name of his future child at that moment. However, because the future he imagined was too beautiful, he was timid for a while and did not dare to take the first step, so that in the end he did not even get to know each other.

Perhaps one day he accidentally knew her class, so he remembered it firmly and walked around a long way during the short break, just to pass by the door of her class, pretending to accidentally glance away, and accurately found the figure that made people dream.

Every move can make the boy happy or lost for several days.

Full of youthfulness.

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Then it's a deal." Ying stretched out her white palm and smiled: "Welcome, travel companion."

"And me!" Paimon also stretched out his small palm: "Paimon welcomes you too!"

Chen Tianfeng nodded gently: "Well, please give me more advice."

So the three palms overlapped, and under the witness of the sea breeze, rocks and shadows, they made an agreement to travel together.

"Very good! Then Paimon is your senior!"

The little mascot straightened his chest and raised his chin slightly: "Go and cook for Senior Paimon, Junior Tianfeng."

A few days ago, she promised Ying - in fact, she took the initiative to propose - to be Ying's exclusive guide and accompany her to travel around the seven countries.

So in Paimon's view, Chen Tianfeng agreed to Ying one step later than her, so he was naturally her junior.

"…Heh, I think you're still not hungry."

Chen Tianfeng sneered, naturally knowing what she was thinking, and threw away the good impression he had for Paimeng in his heart: "Not only for today's dinner, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, don't even think about having a meal."

"Eh? No!"

Paimeng cried out in sorrow, and said quickly and well: "You are the senior, please, Senior Tianfeng, can you cook for Paimeng?"

Finally, he agreed to Paimeng.

After dinner, the three of them sat around the campfire. A bright moon rose in the sky in the distance, and the light on the sea surface turned into a beautiful silver.

"Actually, I have something I have been hiding from you."

Ying looked at the campfire and remembered that Chen Tianfeng had picked up a lot of firewood before leaving Cape Lookout. Now it seems that he was really foresighted.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Tianfeng turned his head, and Paimeng also cast a curious look at him.

"Actually..." Ying pursed her lips and looked up at the two people: "I am not from the world of Teyvat, I am a traveler from outside the world."

"Huh?"

"Oh, I know."

"Huh?!"

Paimon, who made two exclamations, quickly turned his little head, his silver-white hair swung, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief: "Why do you know? Wait! Am I the only one who doesn't know?!"

"Now it seems so." Chen Tianfeng nodded, patted Paimon's shoulder gently, and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that you are isolated, Paimon."

"Huh???"

The little mascot quickly pounced on Ying, hugged her arms tightly, and was about to cry: "No! Ying! I can do anything!"

Ying, who had never expected this development: "..."

After a period of confusion, Ying, who finally appeased Paimon, looked at Chen Tianfeng. There was no doubt in his eyes, but it seemed that he had expected it: "You really know."

So he would intentionally or unintentionally describe in detail some things that should be common sense in the continent of Teyvat.

Then Ying couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, with a curious look: "Tianfeng, when did you find out?"

Her acting skills should be pretty good, right?

"I found out on the first day."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at her and said: "The way you described your hometown made me feel very familiar. Since then, I suspected that you were not a native of Teyvat. Later, I observed that you were not a native of Teyvat."

"Huh? I found out on the first day..."

Ying couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, then frowned slightly, noticed a certain word, looked at Chen Tianfeng, and his eyes widened slightly: "Familiar?"

Could it be that Chen Tianfeng had seen other travelers from outside the world?

Could it be my brother? !

Ying's eyes were full of surprise: "Tianfeng, could it be that you..."

"Yes, I am also a traveler from outside the world." Chen Tianfeng nodded.

"...Huh?"

Ying was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth: "Oh. So that's it."

Today's unexpected developments are really a bit too much.

But Chen Tianfeng is not a native of Teyvat.

"Why, don't you think so?" Chen Tianfeng smiled and said casually, "I should have come here half a year earlier than you, so it's normal that I know more about this place than you."

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised."

Ying shook her head, thought for a while, and asked, "Tianfeng, why did you come to Teyvat?"

"Because of an accident, to be honest, I don't know much. When I came to my senses, I was already in Teyvat." Chen Tianfeng looked up at the moon, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and then turned his eyes back to Ying: "What about you?"

"I came here with my brother, but we are separated now."

Ying sighed softly, raised her hand to rub Paimeng's hair, and smiled: "Do you want to hear my story?"

"It's an honor." Chen Tianfeng nodded gently.

Paimeng, who tried hard to integrate into the two people and didn't want to be "isolated", raised his little hand: "Paimeng will listen carefully too!"

Ying couldn't help pinching Paimeng's soft cheeks, and only reluctantly let go after the latter made a "woooo~" protest.

"My brother and I are travelers in the sea of ​​stars. We came here across thousands of stars to start a new journey."

"But when we wanted to leave, a strange god blocked our way."

"..."

Ying narrated bit by bit, her soft voice blending into the night wind and gradually drifting away.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and thought of the god with long white hair. She looked at them, her words and eyes were as cold as hers.

She said: "Outsiders, your journey ends here."
