Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Liuyun Zhenjun used to like to wander around like the wind.

The environment in the past was not as harsh and dangerous as it is today, with foreign demons everywhere committing evil and fighting.

It is more harmonious and peaceful, with kind demons everywhere.

For example, the local demon gods of Liyue - Mark Hughes, Heulia, etc.

Compared with fighting, they care more about their own people.

Among them was the demon god Hagentus, who stepped out of Tianheng Mountain and established a settlement in its northern part.

Wandering in the harmonious world was Xiaoyaoxian's favorite thing in the past.

So, when they came to the northern part of Tianheng Mountain,

The talkative Liu Yun and the gentle Gui Zhong naturally became acquainted.

We said we got to know each other, but in reality we only exchanged a few words that time.

...

"So you flew over from the other side of the mountain?"

"This immortal came without a trace, I can't remember,"

"That's great. It should be great to travel around the world."

"Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise. How happy it is to be free and unfettered."

"I'm so envious,"

"It's not difficult. Just leave this place with me."

"is it?"

"Why not? It's a good opportunity for you to keep me company."

"..."

"how?"

"No way,"

"No? Why?"

"I can't abandon them..."

"them?"

"My people, I cannot leave them,"

"..."

"..."

"What a fool you are! I am leaving now."

...

At that time, the crane could not imagine the thoughts of a person who shackled himself and trapped himself in the same place.

That kind of behavior became "stupid" in her mouth.

...

A hundred years later, under the recommendation of the Emperor,

They met again.

This is their second meeting.

"Xianhe, we meet again,"

"It's you! We are so lucky to meet. How have you been these years?"

"I'm living a good life, but you... why did you join the Emperor? Didn't you say that day..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, casual words cannot be taken as true,"

"Ha, could it be that the crane has also encountered its own 'shackles' and has become a 'stupid person'?"

"You... this immortal... what's the point of this immortal? Besides, this immortal called the clouds to borrow the wind, not the crane."

"Yes, yes, Liuyun, please give me more advice..."

"What about you?"

"Hagentus, you can also call me Guizhong..."

...

It was not until a short while later that Liu Yun understood why Gui Zhong chose to join forces with the Emperor.

It turns out to be the same reason as many years ago - my people cannot live without me.

But after a hundred years, things have changed a little, and it has become - my people cannot do without the protection of the demon god.

This is both a point of change and the final pain in my heart——

It turns out that any demon god can easily replace me and even do better than me.

Liu Yun saw this, but she didn't know what to do.

I don't know how to help her.

Despite a lot of efforts, it was of no avail.

Finally, after a hundred years of integration between the two peoples,

In the end, I resolutely walked into Tianheng Mountain and into the pear blossom forest.

Looking for my own authority, I don’t know when I will return.

...

"Ali——"

The moment there was a noise outside the door,

Subconsciously, as if rebounding, He Li withdrew his hand that was originally on Gui Zhong's shoulder as if he had been electrocuted.

But the next moment,

He couldn't pull his hand out.

!

He looked at the girl with a sly smile in disbelief.

The girl blinked at him and said in a steady voice:

"What a weirdo! Didn't you agree to give me a massage? Why..."

click -

The door was pushed open.

The girl still smiled sweetly:

"Why do you shrink back when someone comes?"

This guy!

There was cold sweat on my forehead.

He pulled his hand out again, but it didn't move at all.

Snapped--

The shoulder was tapped twice.

Hot air came out from his face along with the sound:

"Ali, what are you doing? What do you mean by 'shrinking back as soon as someone comes'?"

Before He Li could speak, Gui Zhong spoke first:

"Nothing, Liuyun, long time no see,"

As she spoke, she turned her head, looked at her with a smile, and nodded towards He Li:

"I have been consuming a lot of energy these days. As my follower, I need him to help me get rid of my fatigue."

"Ahem, yes, Master Liuyun, you also know that I am her dependent."

"Is it,"

Liu Yun didn't think much of it at first, but when he opened the door and saw him pulling carrots, he felt a little strange for a moment.

He immediately sat next to Gui Zhong and asked with concern:

"How is it, all right?"

Gui Zhong smiled and replied: "It couldn't be better."

"It's fine as long as it's good. I thought you were gone..."

Gui Zhong replied playfully, "You'll never come back? You don't have faith in me?"

"Not really. After all, this kind of thing is too illusory. I have been confused before. If it weren't for..."

As he spoke, Liu Yun glanced at He Li beside him:

"If it weren't for him, I would still be confused."

And in the deep mountains and old forests, Gui Zhong was the only one there, and who knew how long it would take her to come out.

Unexpectedly, Guizhong suddenly laughed out loud:

"What a coincidence. I am also grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come out so early."

"Really? That's great."

"Great? Great, why did you come to see me now?"

As he spoke, Guizhong put his hands on his hips, puffed up his cheeks and looked sad and angry.

I don't know who this is addressed to.

"Ahem, this matter is indeed rude of me, but you also know that I haven't seen this brat for many years, so naturally... ahem,"

Liu Yun spoke intermittently, seeming a little embarrassed.

"..."

Suddenly he stopped talking.

I felt the shoulder in my hand stiffen a little.

"Ahem, it's quite a coincidence indeed."

He Li quickly smiled to dispel the silence and forcibly changed the subject:

"By the way, Master Liuyun, have all the mechanisms been set up?"

"...I have arranged it, but you still don't trust me?"

Although Liu Yun felt something was wrong, she still said:

"Although we made this thing together and it has a different structure than before, how difficult is it for me?"

A mechanism made together?

Guizhong moved his ears and suppressed the sudden irritation in his heart.

She suddenly said:

"By the way, Old Weirdo, the people say that the gadgets we made together are very useful. When do you have time to come here, we can work together to develop something more practical."

A trick to make together?

Liu Yun was somewhat puzzled:

"...Really? When will you..."

"us..."

Gui Zhong answered quickly: "Of course it was when we were in the pear blossom forest. At that time, there were only two of us, so we naturally did whatever we wanted..."

...

"Sister Zhong Li, did I say something a bit too much?"

Looking at the two people pushing and shoving each other as they left, Gui Zhong suddenly spoke while sitting on the chair.

Zhong Li remained as steady as a rock, silently taking in everything that had just happened:

"From a common sense perspective, it should be you who is overdoing it,"

puff-

Finally he laughed out loud:

"Sister Zhong Li, how can you use reason to measure this?"

...

"No, you little brat, tell me the truth, what did you do in there?"

Liu Yun grabbed his collar tightly and asked.

"I really didn't do anything, just swimming, fishing, farming... really nothing,"

He Li raised his hands with an innocent look on his face.

Who is the person who knows He Li best?

Then only the clouds will remain.

I stared into his eyes for a long time.

I really didn't lie...

But how does she feel...

"Are you sure you didn't do anything?"

"Are you sure?"

Liu Yun pinched his chin: "Strange..."

How does she feel...

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through her mind, and she immediately turned around:

"Ali, tell me the truth,"

He Li was still confused: "What did you say?"

Liu Yun took a step forward, almost face to face,

She looked him in the eyes:

"do you like her?"

"..."

Take a breath,

Do you like her?

He Li's mind was a little confused.

He has actually been avoiding this question, and even this idea.

He never did, and even dared not to think about it.

He didn't dare ask himself this question.

But now that Liuyun has spoken it,

It was like a spring breeze that slipped into a house with closed doors and windows, filling the whole house with force.

Just a moment,

He had the answer -

Do you like her?

like.

He couldn't deceive himself.

Of course, there are degrees of liking.

Appreciation, liking, etc., etc., there are many,

The heaviest of these is——

So... love her?

...

Love - a very heavy word.

It was so heavy that he didn't know, didn't understand, and wasn't clear.

...

he does not know,

After all - love means caring.

Just as I said when communicating with the Emperor before -

He said at the time: "After she finally gets to experience the world, she will only care more about them."

Zhong Li just sighed: "This is a good thing."

What was the first thing that came to his mind?

It’s not an affirmation, but rather a question – is this really a good thing?

Is caring really a good thing?

Is love really a good thing?

In other words, is falling in love with Guizhong really a good thing?

He Li didn't know.

...

Liu Yun looked into his eyes and was stunned for a moment. She had seen that look in his eyes at some point in her life that she didn't want to recall, a look that was like a knife cutting her heart.

And now she saw it again.

"I understand,"

She said suddenly, took He Li's hand again, and pulled him away:

"Don't worry, I won't ask any more questions. Just don't leave me."

"..."

"What are your next plans?"

"Since the Emperor has taken care of you and Ping Ping'er for so many years, I should stay here to repay her and help her."

"It's up to you to decide. Then I will take you to meet some immortals and some old guys."

"It's up to you."
