Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

Looking at her brother who was smiling in front of her, Ying glared at him unhappily.

"I can't sleep, but you, brother, are the ones who can't sleep. What are you doing here? You are not like me, a lazy person. You are usually too busy to see me."

Looking at his dissatisfied sister, Kong smiled and reached out to touch her head.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Ying pretended to be angry and took his hand away.

"How should I put it? I should say that there are times when I can't sleep, too."

"Brother, are you worried about Lady Xue Ning?"

"Well, it's possible, but I'm more worried about you now."

"...?"

Ying nodded immediately. After accidentally hearing the conversation between her brother and Andri last time, she felt her mind was very confused, let alone her brother who had to deal with these troublesome matters.

Sometimes Ying felt that although the distance between her and Kong seemed very close, it was also much farther than she thought.

Stupid brother, you didn't tell me anything. Now I can try to help you share some of the burden. Ying looked at Kong in front of her. After being separated from him for such a long time, after finding him this time, she clearly felt that her brother had indeed changed a little.

However, Sora, who had no idea of ​​Ying's complicated mood at the moment, asked her with a smile.

"Ying, why can't you sleep? Are you still not used to the life here?" Kong knew that Ying had not adapted to the life here. Although she had tried her best to imitate the world on the ground, and even created a little sun and moon made by magic, and tried hard to imitate the starry sky that girls liked very much, Ying still seemed to yearn for the days on the ground more.

"Well, maybe there's nothing here that Paimon and I would find tasty."

Hearing Ying's answer, Kong sighed softly.

"You have learned to lie to me now."

"I never lie. Brother, you should be the one who knows me best."

"Really? Why do I feel like you've become a lot more cunning after being separated from me for so many years?" Kong looked like he didn't believe what she said.

"How long has it been since we two siblings had such a nice conversation?" Ying suddenly turned around and looked at Kong seriously.

"Well... I'm really happy to see you again. But, have you not slept well recently?" Kong looked at Ying in front of him and found that her eyes were full of red bloodshot. It seemed that she was really worried about that girl recently.

"Really? I think I rested well." Ying deliberately smiled to hide her bitter mood. When did she start lying to her brother?

"But your eyes betray you" Sora poked her forehead helplessly.

"Brother, it hurts."

"I really slept a lot during the day!" Ying had to admit that Kong was really sharp. He had not been able to rest well recently because he was worried about Ling Mengxue. He spent the whole day looking for books that could crack black magic. Probably because he read for too long, his dry eyes had been hurting for several days.

Is it really that obvious? Ying rubbed her eyes.

"Brother, can I go back to Mondstadt?"

"what?"

Kong's face became serious. Ying knew that it might be difficult to convince her brother, but she had to try. Thinking of this, she continued.

"I know my request is a bit self-willed, but I really want to go back to Mondstadt."

"..."

Sora just frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and for a moment, there was silence between the two of them.

After a long while, Sora slowly spoke.

"Go back temporarily?"

"Yes."

Right now, Ying told him everything she had been thinking about in the past few days.

Although it happened a little faster than she had imagined, what could she do now?

And with his brother's wisdom, he should have expected that he would make such a request. Ying made up his mind and mustered up the courage to speak again.

"I want to go back to Mondstadt. I want to find Xiaoxue."

"..."

"Brother, you can't restrict my freedom. I am very happy to see you again, but I can't abandon my friends."

Ying waited for a long time but still didn't hear any answer from him. After she finished her last sentence, she looked up at him.

"I think there shouldn't be any problem for me to go back to Mondstadt...Brother!"

"How long have you been here?" Kong asked in a somewhat low voice. Ying felt flustered by his golden eyes and answered stutteringly.

"It's been several months..."

"Three months and five days to be exact." Kong smiled and looked at Ying gently.

"It's been three months...time flies by so fast."

Ying looked at Kong's smiling face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why she had this feeling, it might be because her brother always had a tense face before.

Ying swallowed all the questions in her stomach and tried to maintain her usual tone.

"Yes, I didn't expect that after searching for my brother for so long, I would meet him casually on that day. It's like trying to pick flowers but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident and they grow into shade."

"..." Kong had actually been looking for Ying's trace, but unfortunately, when he was in Mond, he seemed to have mistaken the sign that Ying was using to find him as a sign to arrest him... and thus he missed the chance to meet his sister.

"Anyway, as long as you agree, I will return to Mondstadt as soon as possible."

"Well, what if I don't agree?"

"Then I'll sneak away while you're busy." Ying smiled and stuck out her tongue at Kong.

A low sigh came to Ying's ears, and the next moment Ying felt Kong patting her shoulder heavily.

"Ying. Remember, no matter what, we are family. I will always protect you. Your continued stay here will only make me more greedy."

Ying suddenly had an urge to cry, but she was afraid that if she opened her mouth she would make trembling sounds, so she bit her lips tightly.

Sora looked at her and continued.

"So, do whatever you want. I know I can't stop you, so I can only ask you to come back safely."

Ying looked at her brother in front of her, and suddenly couldn't help but reach out and give him a bear hug. Finally, she spoke with difficulty in a crying voice.

"Brother, you are so mean! I have already prepared to escape from prison if you disagree."

A low laugh came to my ears.

"Who is the person who should say this? I don't know who it is, but he said it was hard to find me, and then he couldn't help wanting to run out and play every day?"

"Damn it, I won't come back if you tease me again." Ying pushed Kong away and wiped the tears from her face.

The brother and sister talked a lot that night, talking about all the interesting things and hardships they had experienced without each other. Kong also mentioned a few things about Xue Ning's past.

Maybe because there were too many things piled up in his heart, Ying talked to Kong a lot that night until he finally fell asleep.

Kong looked at his sleepy sister and asked the maid to take her back to her room. Ying only vaguely remembered the golden light flickering in front of her. Perhaps her brother had been guarding her side before she fell asleep.

As expected, my brother has always been a very gentle person. I just wonder what will happen to him and that lady Xue Ning in the end?
