Genshin Impact [Outsider]

"If you want to know, go ask her. My understanding may not be the same as hers." Meng'er evaded the question.

"If you don't know what it means, what should you do if you misunderstand it?"

Just as Meng'er thought, furry Lin Xi was still a silly and naive child.

Meng'er ignored her and turned to look out the window. Dusk had already fallen and rumbling dark clouds were slowly gathering.

"It's all packed, my lady... Oh, it might rain tonight, so I guess I'll have to trouble you and your little guest."

The maid smiled kindly and went to the storage room to get a quilt cover.

"You don't mean to say..." Meng'er pointed at the quilt and glanced at the maid who was smiling as sweetly as if covered with honey.

"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it... They're still children after all." The maid walked into the bedroom and made the bed, then came out and quietly turned a blind eye to Meng'er.

"Is there sand in your eyes? I'm sleepy and want to go to bed." Meng'er stopped arguing with the maid and went straight to the bedroom.

When he came to the bedroom, Meng'er saw, without surprise, that only one bed had been made properly, and all the other sundries were piled aside, leaving him no chance to make room for another piece of space.

"It's okay to let Furry Lin Xi sleep with her."

Meng'er turned off the oil lamp, lay down and covered himself with the quilt. Enough had happened today and now he just wanted to have a good rest.

The maid also pretended to yawn and said, "I am a little sleepy too. It is time for the little guest to rest. Go and accompany the young master."

Xiao Lin Xi's face was slightly flushed. Even though she was still a child, her parents had seriously taught her not to sleep with strangers, especially boys.

"Are we going to...sleep together?"

The maid nodded and explained, "Yes, there is no place to rest at home, and it will be very cold when it rains in the second half of the night."

"But..." Xiao Linqian was still a little hesitant, lowering her head and saying, "My mother told me not to sleep with boys."

"Hehe, it's okay, little guest. If it's between you and him, I don't think there's any problem."

The maid came to Xiao Linqian, leaned over and touched her little head and continued: "As long as you treat him as a special person, it will be fine."

"A special existence, um..." Xiao Linqian asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"It probably means that there is only one person. Almost everyone will meet a special person who will always be by their side in their life, so it doesn't matter."

The maid explained to Xiao Linqian implicitly, and then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the little guest may have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed quickly."

"Okay... I understand." Xiao Lin Qian nodded as if she understood. At least she had a reason to sleep in the same bed with Meng'er.

Walking into the bedroom, Xiao Linxi came to Meng'er in the dark, and then quietly looked at the boy in front of her.

Suddenly, Meng'er opened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her.

"Fluffy Lin Xi, are you watching?"

Xiao Lin Qian was startled and fell backwards in panic.

"No, nothing..." Xiao Linqian rubbed her butt and climbed up, then whispered, "I'm going to sleep here tonight, too."

"Then go to bed quickly, don't just stand there." As she said that, Meng'er made an empty seat for Xiao Linxi and continued to sleep while lying on her side.

Xiao Lin Qian shyly moved the quilt away, then carefully crawled in, leaving a distance between herself and Meng'er.

This was Xiao Lin Qian's first time sleeping with someone else, so she was a little uncomfortable with her movements.

She had been very restless when sleeping before, but maybe she would have to restrain herself from today on.

Just as the maid said, it soon began to rain heavily outside the window. The rain splashed on the mud, hit the tiles and made sounds, playing a late-night dream song.

Xiao Lin Qian listened to the rain peacefully, and just when she was about to fall asleep, suddenly a thunder roared through the sky and woke her up.

Xiao Lin Qian's whole body trembled, and the lightning seemed to penetrate her body, which scared her so much that the hair on her ears stood up. She became alert instantly and all sleepiness disappeared.

Another thunder sounded, and Xiao Lin Qian finally couldn't hold on any longer. She screamed and crawled into the quilt, sticking closely behind Meng'er.

Meng'er was awakened by Xiaolin Qianxiao's sudden bump. When she was about to scold her angrily, she turned around and found her curled up in a ball and trembling.

"...Coward Lin Xi, you are so scared by a mere thunder and lightning."

As she spoke, Meng'er reached out and covered Xiao Linqian's ears, then closed her eyes and continued to rest.

The sound of thunder that followed was no longer so scary to Xiao Linqian. After she calmed down, Meng'er let go of her hand and said:

"Sleep with your ears covered. It would be bad if you get scared and get sick again."

Meng'er found a cotton plug from somewhere and handed it to Xiao Linqian, then turned over and continued to sleep.

In the darkness, Xiao Linxi's face was slightly rosy. She gently leaned her head against Meng'er's back and whispered, "Thank you..."

Outside the house, the maid was standing alone under the eaves listening to the sound of rain. Soon the person she wanted to see arrived.

"Master, you are back."

The patriarch was wearing a black cloak, and as his figure appeared, the drizzle around him stopped falling and was blocked by a stack of paper umbrellas.

The patriarch didn't say much, but just asked, "How is the little guy adapting?"

The maid smiled and replied, "It went very smoothly. The young lady likes her very much. I think the two of them must have become close friends."

The patriarch nodded and turned to look inside the house.

"I don't care what outsiders say about the little girl, but I don't want to hear that no one dares to lend a hand to her when someone bullies her,"

The maid laughed and said, "Don't worry, I believe the young master will not let others bully the little guest easily."

"That's great. I'll trouble you while I'm away." After saying this, the patriarch was about to turn around and leave.

"Well, just leave it to me, please rest assured, Chief."

The maid smiled and saw the patriarch off, and only turned back to the house after the patriarch was completely immersed in the darkness for a moment.

"I don't know what the master is planning..."

The maid stretched herself and took out a bag of incense from the drawer and placed it in the room.

"Well... it seems that the two of them are getting along very happily." The maid quietly came to the bedroom door, looked at the two of them, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The rain still showed no sign of stopping, and after the maid finished her work, she finally had time to have a good rest.

"If you keep doing this, you'll get a disc herniation sooner or later, and then you can retire..."

Or maybe it could be said that as a workaholic, she was finally willing to give herself some time to rest.

The thunder stopped and a sparse drizzle continued to fall in the second half of the night. Everything seemed exceptionally quiet and peaceful.

However, the sudden urge to urinate woke up the sleeping Xiao Linzi. She rubbed her eyes, got up, yawned, and left the bedroom.

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom..." Xiao Linqian whispered in the living room while rubbing her eyes, and her body suddenly stopped.

"Mom isn't here..."

Xiao Lin Qian went to the bathroom alone. After using the toilet, she quickly returned to the bedroom, then buried her head in the quilt and forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

She didn't want to spend a night awake without her parents...

The next morning, Meng'er got up early and washed. The maid had also gotten up and was preparing breakfast for the three of them. The only one who was still sleeping soundly was Xiaolin Qian.

After Meng'er finished washing up, she went to the bedroom and called Xiao Linqian to get up.

"Coward Lin Xi, it's time to get up!"

Although Meng'er was shouting very loudly, Xiao Lin Qian just hummed softly and moved her body, with no intention of getting up at all.

Xiao Lin Qian was lying sideways hugging the quilt, her tail was bent into an S shape, and her clothes were half-pulled, revealing her belly button.

Meng'er looked at her lazy sleeping posture somewhat helplessly. When she was about to reach out to pinch her face, she suddenly paused and then turned her target to the tail.

"Humans are really weird. There are races that are similar to cats and dogs..."

Meng'er gently grabbed Xiao Linxi's tail and felt it was very soft, similar to a cat's tail, but just one size bigger.

Xiao Lin Qian suddenly woke up and saw Meng'er grabbing her tail. All her lazy sleepiness disappeared and she opened her mouth to shout.

Meng'er immediately let go and made a gesture to keep quiet. Xiao Lin Qian also subconsciously covered her mouth and did not shout out.

"It was just a bump, no need to make a fuss."

"But it scared me..." Xiao Lin Qian was still a little uncertain. Her tail was very sensitive and she usually wouldn't let anyone touch it.

But the exception was when she was sleeping. Her mother Shuiying had only done this once when she was completely defenseless.

After a while, she became lax and forgot to hide her tail when she slept.

"I didn't know you didn't want to be touched on your tail..." Meng'er explained, and then said, "Coward Lin Xi, go to training after dinner, don't dawdle."

"understood……"

Xiao Linqian made the bed and followed Meng'er to the table to have a simple breakfast.

Meng'er eats twice as fast as Xiao Linqian, so after she finishes eating, she has to wait for Xiao Linqian to finish.

"Almost, time to go to training."

Breakfast had just ended, and before Xiao Linqian could react, she was dragged away by Meng'er.

"You look very energetic. My lady, please take the guests to training." The maid saw them off and continued to do housework.

"Why are you so anxious..." Xiao Lin Xi quickly followed Meng'er and asked breathlessly.

"In order to become stronger as soon as possible." Meng'er just replied lightly without slowing down at all.

Xiao Lin Qian was a little confused as to why he was so anxious to become stronger. What she could not have expected was that this guy would practice all day long, every day.

"I'm training you for your own good. You'll be able to use me in the future, and you'll understand me then." Meng'er once said to her.

"But..." What she wanted to say was, they are still so young now, is it really necessary to continue training like this?

She never asked this question. Even if she did, it would definitely be rejected. It was not until the end that she realized that Meng'er was right to do so...
