Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

After Theresa finished speaking, she slowly raised her head and looked at Jiuxiao beside her.

There was no sadness or self-blame on her face. She did not need any comfort or blame from others. Everything was in vain as it could not change the facts.

"Now, you understand. She is gradually losing her human emotions, and she doesn't even know how long she can remain herself. So before that, she wants to see with her own eyes... see the place that her sister has described to her countless times."

Jiuxiao did not answer, but just looked at Theresa quietly, with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth.

He doesn't know how to comfort, so he doesn't want to comfort him. He is just a listener, listening to the bird that escaped from the cage and telling its past.

She once thought that by escaping the cage, she would be free and could embrace this beautiful world with her own body.

But the reality is so cruel. The cage that imprisoned her was actually the golden circle drawn by Sun Wukong. If she escaped, she would die...

The girl named Theresa will die, but the terrifying blood moon vampire will remain forever.

"I gotta go……"

Theresa looked a little melancholy, but in the end she breathed a sigh of relief.

Release your grip on the guardrail and slowly step back.

"Thank you, human. You fulfilled our deal and granted my wish."

Jiu Xiao shook his head and said gently, "Don't thank me. If it's just explaining the location, everyone can do it. I just did a trivial thing, but it satisfied the inner wish of a girl. I should thank you."

"But you are the only human I can normally interact with..."

Theresa chuckled and shook her head, indicating that Jiuxiao didn't need to be so humble.

"Then, human, can you agree to one more unreasonable request of mine?"

Although she was asking, the girl did not give Jiuxiao the opportunity to refuse.

Under the faint moonlight, the girl's long white hair moved in the wind. She was like a lively elf, dancing with the moonlight, skipping and running to Jiuxiao's side.

"Dance with me, right here."

Her jade-like, boneless little hand took Jiuxiao's big hand and pulled Jiuxiao, who was lying on the railing looking at her, to the center of the rooftop.

Theresa's hands felt soft and cool, just like her skin, as white and cool as porcelain...

And... fragile.

Jiuxiao opened his fingers slightly, stretching out Theresa's hand that was holding his.

The atmosphere in the air, which came from Theresa's innocent and elegant smile in her heart, suddenly stopped.

Theresa was also slightly stunned. She raised her head and stared blankly at Jiuxiao's face. She didn't know why Jiuxiao would open her hands at this time. Was he rejecting her rude request...

While Theresa was still confused, Jiuxiao's fingers moved again. He stretched out Theresa's five fingers, passed through their gaps, and then gently held them, interlocking their ten fingers together.

As if she was afraid that the person in front of her would disappear at any time, or would suddenly change his mind, when Jiuxiao held her hand, Theresa also held it back, even with some force, so much so that her fingers were deformed under the pressure.

She looked up at Jiuxiao, and on Baizhe's pale face, Jiuxiao saw a hint of seriousness and determination.

It seemed that his actions made Theresa think that he wanted to refuse. Jiuxiao touched Theresa's forehead with his other hand, then blinked his left eye and winked at her.

"You made an unreasonable request, so please forgive me for making an unreasonable move."

Theresa was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Jiuxiao meant.

"Of course, this is also an equal exchange."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a very awkward and stiff smile.

Of course, this wasn’t a fake smile. It was just that Theresa had never smiled before and didn’t know how to smile…

Because eyes never lie, Jiuxiao could see Theresa's joy in her eyes.

Three o'clock in the evening.

In this city that has fallen asleep, a dance party without an audience is quietly taking place on the rooftop of a high-rise building.

The moon goddess used her moonlight to illuminate them, making the only two dancers left in this dark world stand out.

The merciful goddess also dropped a thin moon veil for them, turning it into a night dress, so that the petite queen in a Gothic long skirt and the peculiarly shaped giant mushroom king Hom... (I can't hold it in anymore, I can't think of any more rhetoric.)

The Vampire Queen and King Hom dance gracefully under the moonlight, accompanied by the chirping of summer cicadas and the gentle breeze that drives away the heat waves.

As the cicadas' chirping becomes louder and more intense, the waltz enters its final climax.

Jiuxiao and Theresa held hands and separated and got together again and again. Finally, after they separated, they pulled each other hard and pulled themselves towards each other.

Theresa took advantage of the momentum and jumped up, her hands passed through Jiuxiao's shoulders and wrapped around his neck. Jiuxiao then held Theresa's waist with his hands, supporting her in mid-air while turning his body.

The cicadas' chirping stopped abruptly, the song ended, and Jiuxiao and Theresa's waltz also came to its final end.

Jiuxiao was spinning in place, and changed the hand that was supporting Theresa from lifting it up to hugging it, and slowly stopped while holding the petite Theresa in his arms while spinning.

The waltz under the moon is over.

Jiuxiao patted Theresa on the back and let go of her hand to signal Theresa that she could come down.

But Theresa seemed not to want it to end like this. She still hugged Jiuxiao's neck tightly and hung on him, refusing to get down.

Jiuxiao had no choice but to hold Theresa's waist again and support her lower body with one hand to help her and himself share some of the weight.

"Human... I don't want to leave..."

"Then we won't leave."

"..."

Theresa remained silent and did not answer, but she tightened her arms around Jiuxiao.

This was a silent answer. The girl didn't want to leave, but she knew she had to go.

Tianming Headquarters is very big, and Canghai City is also very big, so big that there is no place that can accommodate her.

This is the human world, not the vampire world...

"Human... you know what? I escaped with my sister, but I ran away from her again."

"Is it the white-haired woman who made me want to run away when I saw her last night?"

"Hmm... I am fascinated by her gentleness, but it also makes me uneasy. Perhaps it would be more reassuring if she could express her need for me in a simple, direct and straightforward manner, just like my grandmother did.

But my sister treated me so kindly without asking for anything in return, as if it was natural. I often asked myself...does she really need me?

I feel relieved but also uneasy, uneasy but warm. It's as if my feelings don't belong to me, and I can't feel down to earth. "
