Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

He has been coming less and less in the past two months.

Zhen stood on the high platform of the castle tower, looking out the window at the snow falling like cherry blossoms, and sighed.

Is it because I rejected him before?

"I see how charming the green mountains are, and I think the green mountains see me the same way."

I really chewed on these two lines of poetry, which were as mellow as tea and melted into my heart, but also had a little bitterness.

But...you don't like me.

You think the green mountains are not charming, so how can the green mountains be like this when they see you?

...

That's right, Raiden really saw it early on.

Even if He Li hides well,

Whether it's the direction, the action, or the effort,

From the outside, he looked like everything he should be.

Even Ying and Saimiya couldn't see any problem and believed it without a doubt.

But I said, I can really see through all the lies,

And 'like' is a lie.

This seems hypocritical.

After all, apart from the heart, his actions and 'like' are no different,

Just put those illusory feelings aside and enjoy yourself. It's not a big problem.

But it really doesn't work. Her authority is her heart.

The collision of hearts made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

So every time He Li talked about "like", she felt uncomfortable and her heart felt like it was being strangled.

Raiden really wished he didn't do that for himself.

As for why he said 'like',

I really don't know, I can only guess -

She guessed that liking someone was probably a good reason.

A reason to rationalize the 'giving'.

...

"Lord Lei Long,"

Looking out the window, the snow and the sun are mixed together, making it difficult to see clearly.

The mist from her cherry lips melted on the glass and blended into the cold wind:

"I really...really want to see your true heart."

She would not expose it, because she wanted to see what was hidden beneath the love and devotion.

...

"It's a dumpling,"

He Li revealed the answer,

He mixed the tofu and rice flour together, kneading them with his hands while looking back at the shadow who asked the question.

After that, he handed her a spoon and pointed to the dough that had been kneaded next to him.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Use this to mix them into small balls that are suitable for eating. Of course, you can make them into any shape you want."

"it is good,"

Ying responded softly, holding a spoon and walking to He Li's side, staring at the dough on the table.

Small ball, small ball,

She kept reciting silently, her heart slowly lifted.

It's just a shape, there shouldn't be any problem,

Suddenly, the dough seemed to have turned into a giant sea beast with bared fangs and claws, and the spoon in her hand seemed to have turned into a magical weapon. She stood in the sky, about to face the most difficult battle in her life...

It seemed that he noticed the inexplicable momentum rising around him.

He Li glanced subconsciously and found it a little funny:

"It's okay, just do it as you like. If it breaks, I can do it again."

His momentum was broken by a word, and Ying suddenly became a little silly.

"Oh,"

She responded lightly again, took a breath, and raised the spoon——

No thoughts, cut off.

...

"Done, all right, call your sister to come for dinner,"

He Li wiped his sweat, looked at the steaming steamer, and then looked at the half-burnt dough not far away.

Turning back to the shadow, he said:

"Let Zhen taste our cooking skills."

Ying didn't know what skills he had, he only knew that the result of his hard work had ended up in the trash.

But he said - if you make an effort, it is a credit.

From this perspective, this green dumpling was really made by them together?

Ying suddenly felt proud of it.

"it is good,"

She wanted to turn around immediately.

but...

"and many more,"

Before Ying could react, his face quickly approached her sight, and then a touch of warmth flashed across her nose.

"The flour hasn't been wiped clean yet,"

He Li twisted his fingertips and smiled at her.

Ying looked at that smile and suddenly smiled too.

She seemed to have tasted the flavor of the dumpling.

...

The table still had those familiar foods, miso soup, fried fish, omelettes... and the milk that Zhen liked the most.

But today there seems to be something more.

Zhen looked at the round, colorful plate of food on the table with doubt in his eyes.

Moving my sight upwards, I saw a figure on the opposite side with eyes full of expectation.

"Really, try it,"

She said:

"This is the dumpling made by He Jun."

"I did this with Aying,"

He Li added.

Did you do it with Ying?

You know, my sister has a weird setting.

Although I said I was helping, I actually caused a lot of trouble.

"Then I'm not welcome,"

Zhen nodded slightly, smiled, picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

His cheeks twitched, his eyes lit up, and he looked at He Li:

"It's delicious. Thank you, Lei Longjun, and thank you, A Ying."

"As long as you like it,"

He Li looked at Ying again:

"A Ying?"

"it is good,"

Ying is actually looking forward to the taste of the dumplings.

He said he would like it very much, and it would become one of her hobbies, just like forging.

The chewy dough was in her mouth, and the sugar particles mixed with the red bean paste and jujube paste filled it all rushed into her taste buds.

Before the brain received the feedback from the taste buds, his face appeared in sight again, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

"How about it?"

"..."

Ying was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously:

“It’s delicious. Really delicious.”

...

Zhen was quietly drinking milk, looking between the two of them.

When did their relationship become so good?

She was a little concerned, so after the meal, she asked casually:

"Lei Longjun, can I ask what you and A Ying have been doing in the past few months?"

"Nothing."

He Li stretched and pointed to the distance outside the window:

"I was thinking about making a weapon. Ah Ying was interested, so I just taught her."

A thought came to my mind:

"Weapon? The one you mentioned before?"

She has not forgotten what He Li said to her decades ago -

He said he wanted to build a god-killing weapon.

I thought about this a lot in the days that followed.

"I still remember."

He Li was somewhat surprised and touched.

Lei Dian really didn't know how to forge, so he was just speaking casually that day.

"Well, actually I know how to play, so I always want to find some time to play."

He Li shrugged and explained:

"It just happened to be this winter."

"That's it,"

Zhen brushed her long hair and looked towards the figure meditating not far away:

"Then what's the result?"

"There is no suitable one yet,"

He Li shook his head, showing some distress.

He originally wanted to create a weapon similar to the Staff of Homa.

But unfortunately, until now, there is no sword that can compare to it, not even close.

Later he realized that it was a material problem.

It's not the sacred stone of Aozang Mountain, nor is it the scales of Sister Zhongli.

But it was the crystal that he himself had become.

It was because of that crystal that the Staff of Homa became a weapon that was completely suitable for him to kill gods.

But now, where can he get such a crystal? Is he going to die again?

...

As if seeing He Li's distress, Zhen tried:

"Mr. Lei Long, can you show me the knife you are most satisfied with at the moment?"

The most satisfying knife... there is one.

It was made from the scales he peeled off when he was considering the material issue.

But now it seems that it is still not as good as the Staff of Homa.

He Li didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't think much about it. He turned his wrist and a small sword appeared in his palm.

“This is a joint work between me and Ying,”

he said.

"I see,"

Zhen looked at the sword for a long time, then she looked up at He Li and suddenly said:

"Lord Lei Long, can you lend me this knife for a while?"
