Chapter 227: Doll (Part )

Lin Huan stood quietly in front of the tomb, her expression seemingly peaceful, but underneath that peacefulness was a hint of solemnity. The breeze blew gently, and a few strands of her hair fluttered in the wind. She remained silent for a long time, as if she was deeply immersed in the unfathomable and boundless ocean of thoughts.

At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came slowly, and an extremely familiar voice sounded leisurely behind him, breaking the silence and desolation here.

"Heh... So, you were also betrayed by the person closest to you."

Lin Huan was slightly startled, and slowly turned around. An indescribable and extremely complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but soon, that emotion was quietly hidden, and she returned to her past indifference. She quietly looked at the person in front of her, wearing a snow-white feather dress that shimmered slightly in the sun, and that small figure seemed to have a unique cold temperament.

"Betrayal? Maybe... Life is indeed full of unpredictable variables. Who can accurately predict all the outcomes?" Lin Huan's voice floated gently in the air, with a hint of emotion.

"Then why are you here?" Lin Huan looked at the figure with a hint of doubt in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

The little figure in feathered clothing raised his chin slightly, his expression still as cold as frost. "I was feeling depressed... I came out for a walk, and I just happened to pass by. I was quite surprised to see you like this."

The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little heavy and depressing. Lin Huan's eyes fell on the tombstone again, and a deep sense of loss appeared in his eyes. The marks on the tombstone appeared particularly clear under the sunlight, as if telling a story of the past.

"This feeling can be recalled, but it is gone at that time... Everything in the past has disappeared like smoke, and we must all look forward to the future."

The puppet's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say a word. He just stood quietly by the side, as if he was thinking about something. The sunlight poured down on him, outlining his slender figure, but also revealing a hint of loneliness and silence. His snow-like feathers swayed gently in the breeze, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

"I have joined the Fatui." The young man wearing a snow-white feathered robe and dressed as an Inazuma said calmly, "My code name is now 'Doll'."

Lin Huan was startled and asked softly, "Have you...really made up your mind?"

The puppet turned its head slightly and responded in a low voice: "I have my reasons. Don't worry, I will act carefully and handle it with caution."

Lin Huan sighed softly, and her eyes slowly moved away from the doll and fell on a wild flower not far away. It grew near the top of her father's mound, sticking crookedly. The petals were delicate and bright, swaying gently in the breeze, as if her father was leaning there leisurely, swaying gently and listening to her and her friends discussing important things. The flower swayed gently in the breeze, as if some existence was silently and gently watching it.

"The situation in Inazuma nowadays is complicated and confusing." Lin Huan's voice was extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the past memories that were dormant in the depths of time. "You have witnessed it with your own eyes in the past few years, right? People's lives are becoming increasingly difficult... You made such a choice for them... Although I can understand, I am also worried."

Lin Huan squatted down and gently stroked a wild flower that someone had planted in front of the stone tablet. The flower felt delicate and soft, as if it had a warm power. After pausing for a moment, she maintained this posture, tilted her head slightly and looked at the doll, with a look of deep concern in her eyes.

"I know your ideals and ambitions, but the purpose of the Fatui is by no means pure and kind. You are among them and may be in danger at any time. I don't want to see you get hurt, and I don't want to see the people of Inazuma suffer because of the competition between various forces... Xiaoyu, you must remember not to let Hisahide and others worry about you... Remember, they care about you so much."

The puppet remained silent, just staring at Lin Huan quietly. His eyes were still as cold as ice, but his slightly trembling eyelashes seemed to reveal a subtle wave of emotion deep in his heart. His fingers gently stroked the edge of the feather robe, as if he was thinking about something.

"Tsk... Forget it, let's not talk about me anymore. It's you... You, why did you turn around and comfort me!" After a long time, the puppet turned away embarrassedly, "Do you need me to accompany you around Liyue?"

"I'd be happy to serve as a guide if you'd like."

“Now?” The puppet sneered, “Given your familiarity with Liyue today, it’s hard to say who will be your guide!”

Hearing this, Lin Huan laughed softly, and the pain that could freeze the air just now became less severe. That smile was as warm as the sun, illuminating the surrounding atmosphere.

"Then I'd like to trouble you, Master Puppet, to take me around and introduce Liyue Harbor to me..."
