Spring goes and autumn comes. I don't know how much time has passed. The ruins of the past have long been cleared, the forests have revived, the grass and trees are lush, and Mondstadt is still peaceful and tranquil.

The fire seemed to exist only in memory, as if Mond had never changed.

She was the only one who changed. She was the only one who became strange.

Because along with the girl's death, her home in her heart also died.

So humans always have a strange emotion called "homesickness makes one more afraid".

But Rosalin was not afraid of home—she had no home for a long time.

Who is timid?

It is the spotless pure white in memory.

The fear is that if he sees her again, he will not be able to recognize her, who has become a complete stranger to him. Or, if he recognizes her, he will break up with her - because what she is doing now is contrary to his ideals - the Witch of Fire, what a terrible name.

What is cowardice?

It may be hesitation, thinking, or a few hesitations when making a decision.

But it’s not fear.

Because she had nothing, she was invulnerable to swords and guns.

Then let go of your hands and feet, burn your heart, accept the authority given by the Queen, accept the evil eye, and abandon all distractions.

Let's pursue pure white thoroughly.

Even that road is not pure white.

...

This is the philosophy she has maintained for hundreds of years, and it is also the ice wall she has built for herself.

but now...

She turned her face slightly to avoid the direct sunlight.

I only felt the scar on my right cheek from the fire begin to ache slightly, and my heart, which I thought had burned out a hundred years ago, began to beat again for no apparent reason.

The hands that had carried out countless iron-blooded missions with great vigor and vigour now pinched the hem of her skirt in a rather girlish manner.

This lady who wrapped herself in ice and became invulnerable eventually encountered her own weakness again.

"You have become more mature and more beautiful,"

The gaze that she dared not look directly at suddenly smiled and said,

His voice also changed a little, no longer so dull or gloomy, but full of warmth and gentleness.

This made Rosalin's heart throb even more.

She lowered her head and answered softly:

"The same to you,"

She suddenly didn't know what to say, or maybe she didn't dare to say it.

She didn't dare let him understand her.

He Li said again:

"Can you turn around so I can take a better look?"

"I... um,"

At this time, the "cowardice" is really "fear".

Rosalin had no choice but to turn around slowly and look up at him.

But after just one glance, she was already mesmerized.

He really had changed a lot, but these changes did not seem strange to her, they were like the icing on the cake.

But soon, she came back to her senses.

Because a hand had touched her face without her noticing, touching the butterfly-shaped mask.

She subconsciously raised her hand to stop him.

There was a searching look in He Li's eyes... Rosalind seemed to see a hint of pleading,

"May I?"

He said.

Rosalin looked at him, her red lips fluttering, her voice barely audible:

"don't want..."

But before she finished her words, her own hand fell first.

Then she slowly closed her eyes and stopped making any blocking moves.

call--

Finally, I heard him take a breath.

Gradually, the mask on the right face was slowly taken off.

The crooked scars left by the burning of the butterfly fire were completely exposed to the air, and seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

He must find it very ugly.

Rosalyn let out a bitter smile, almost not daring to look at his reaction at this moment.

The air seemed to be silent, and the two of them were speechless.

As expected...Bitter tears flowed down Rosalin's eyes.

But the next moment, the gentle touch made her tremble, followed by a delicate and slightly itchy feeling.

Before she could speak, she heard his voice:

"sorry,"

Then he held her waist and threw her into his long-lost arms.

A moist breath came from the ear:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

...

He was really tired of these three words "I'm sorry".

I don't know how many times I've said this before, and I don't know how many times I'll say it again in the future.

As long as there is simulation, there is separation, and as long as there is separation, we must continue to talk.

Maybe he hadn't felt it before.

Because whether it is staying in the clouds or returning to the end,

He seemed to have given them a good ending, even the memory problem was solved, so there was no need to worry about them being sad for a thousand years...

That's why he could leave with peace of mind, leaving no trace.

But this time...

When he saw a scar on her once pretty and beautiful face, and felt that her life was almost burned out, and felt that a lively girl had turned into a cold lady,

He finally understood that he could not always give them a perfect ending.

Even though this outcome was beyond his control.

Should we blame the system?

No, because he knew that every simulation was actually a training.

He will gradually become stronger through these experiences, from an ordinary person to a swordsman, then to a disciple of an immortal, until he becomes the current earthly demon god, and perhaps he will continue to move forward in the future...

So can he stop?

No,

Because there is still a sword of Damocles hanging over his head - the Sustainer,

He cannot stop simulating or training until the opponent's threat is completely eliminated.

So the reason is that he is not strong enough after all.

...

Unlike her cold appearance, Rosaline's body temperature is slightly higher than that of an ordinary person.

It's soft and a little hot.

Looking at the royal sister who seemed to be still in a daze in his arms,

He Li lowered his head slightly and kissed the tears that slowly fell from her eyes.

The bitter taste flows from the tip of the tongue into the heart.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long."

Do you blame him?

Rosalyn never blamed him.

Because when he took the knife for her in the bushes, she knew,

This knight who uses protection as his sword will fulfill his oath with his life.

But for some reason, although it was not strange, her tears could not be stopped.

It seemed as if all the tears of the past five hundred years had to flow out at once.

She just hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest, letting her tears wet his clothes.

He Li didn't say anything when he saw this. He patted her back gently, closed his eyes and quietly felt the fragrance on her body.

After an unknown amount of time, Rosalin raised her head and covered her right cheek.

whispered:

"I...I must be very ugly now,"

Compared to the scar, she was more worried about the cause of it.

Will he dislike and distance himself from me because of this?

He Li raised his head, looked at her seriously, and shook his head:

"No, it looks good."

"is it?"

Rosalin didn't believe it. She herself found the scar horrifying.

Otherwise, there would be no mask to cover it.

She leaned on his chest, was silent for a moment, and finally said:

"Li, I am not the same person I used to be."

"Ok, I know,"

He rested his chin on top of her head and whispered:

“I’m not the same person I used to be.”

Rosalin was a little entangled and hesitant. She continued:

"I am now the executive officer of the Fatui."

"Yeah, I know that too,"

He Li nodded, as if you were talking to me:

"I am currently the secretary of the vice-captain of the Mondstadt Knights..."

Rosalyn was a little surprised.

How did he know... Well, when they met before, his identity was already obvious.

However, his identity is still so bright,

Rosalin's eyes dimmed a little, and she gritted her teeth:

"I am collecting the Hearts of the Six Kingdoms for the Queen, and I have obtained two so far."

"Yeah, I know that too."

He Li still reacted calmly, and then introduced himself calmly:

"Speaking of which, I am still a distinguished guest of Liyue Tianquan Star."

Does he know this too?

Rosalyn couldn't believe it.

A distinguished guest from Tianquan Star?

Then you must have heard about her "glorious" deeds from the other party,

Sigh——that woman must have said a lot of bad things about her in front of Li,

But being able to become that woman's distinguished guest means he is really becoming more and more powerful.

But those were just appetizers. The next identity was what she was most worried about.

I only heard her voice getting smaller and smaller:

"After you died, I used the forbidden technique I learned from Xumi to burn myself. The scar on my face was caused by that time. The Witch of Flame is me..."

She didn't say anything more because He Li suddenly took something out from under her waist.

“Is this the evil eye?”

He looked at the object in front of him that looked almost like the Eye of God.

The purple crystal in the middle exudes an ominous aura.

Lisa had joked before about finding him one.

"Um,"

Rosalyn lowered her head and responded softly.

Although she did not invent the evil eye, nor did she popularize it.

But she didn't stop it after all, and she is even still using it.

He suddenly said:

"Your Queen gave it to me?"

"no,"

She shook her head:

"I asked for it myself after the doctor invented it,"

The flames of the Witch of Fire are uncontrollable. If she wants power, she can only use the evil eye.

As for the side effects... her cheapest thing is her life,

What's more, her evil eyes contain some of the powers granted by the Ice God, so the side effects are not serious.

"Can you please stop using it in the future?"

He looked at her, his eyes revealing a familiar seriousness:

"I will settle accounts with that guy Doctor."

"..."

She was stunned for a moment, but still responded obediently:

"Oh."

Although her heart, which had been burning for five hundred years, was about to run out of fuel, and she might die tomorrow, it didn't matter whether she used it or not.

But since he said not to use it, then don't use it.

but...

She twitched her ears and looked up at him:

"Do not you mind?"

Don't mind that I'm the Witch of Fire, don't mind that I'm a notorious executor, don't mind that I'm no longer 'pure white'?

"mind?"

He smiled helplessly.

He was not a heartless person. He was heartbroken that Rosaline had become like this because of him, so how could he mind?

"I only mind that I have not been with you for the past five hundred years,"

He breathed softly into her ear.

At this moment, the stone in Rosalin's heart fell to the ground.

She looked at him in disbelief.

How could he, such a hateful person,...

"I said,"

He looked at her with a smile:

“I’ve changed a lot, too.”

"I believe it, I believe it,"

She covered her lips and tears welled up again.

He Li smiled and kissed away the tears again:

"Believe me, why are you crying?"

She shook her head desperately, her body leaned forward suddenly, and she kept uttering two words:

"Kiss me,"

Her arms were wrapped around his neck like snakes, her white thighs stretched out of her long skirt and clamped around his waist, her red high heels were dangling on the toes, and the two of them were stuck together tightly.

He Li did not answer, but just hugged her waist and captured her red lips.

The two people's breath gradually blended together.

...

However... he noticed a few more things about Rosalin's changes——

At least before, my embrace wasn’t this soft, my movements weren’t this passionate, ahem, my tongue wasn’t this warm.
