Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"Ellie, promise me you won't read the novels Little Rabbit gave you anymore, and keep an eye on Gretsch too, she can't read them either. They're all bad stuff."

Ellie felt a little wronged, but she still agreed.

"But I think it's pretty good... Oh well, never mind then. You're busy, I'm going to find Mei~"

Then Airi immediately ran happily out of the kitchen and pounced on Mei.

......

Mei handed the peeled apple to Kiana, but Kiana was staring blankly at the TV.

"Kiana?"

Kiana snapped out of her daze.

"Hehe, Mei, what's up?"

Mei felt somewhat helpless.

Missing your boyfriend?

"Huh? Hehe, actually, as expected of Mei, you caught me."

Mei pinched Kiana's cheek, a little annoyed.

"You bastard, really, you didn't even lie to me once. What a little scumbag."

Kiana waved her hands quickly.

"Ugh, no, I'm not... Mei, why are you saying that about me? You are all very important people to me, but... if we're going to be together, it can only be with the Captain."

Mei patted Kiana's head.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, Kiana. Go keep your captain company. He probably didn't get enough rest yesterday because you weren't with him, which is why he woke up so late today and didn't have time to make breakfast. Otherwise, do you think I wanted to make breakfast for you? You already have him, I'd like to try his cooking."

Kiana started to act cute.

"Oh no~ But I still want to eat Mei's cooking tonight~"

"Okay, Kiana, but if I have to cook dinner again, you'll have to sleep with me tonight."

"Um...then I'll eat Mei's cooking tomorrow, hehe."

After saying that, Kiana jumped off the sofa and went to the kitchen to find Juexi.

Mei felt somewhat helpless.

"Kiana, how come your mind is working so fast this time?"

As soon as Kiana left, Mei's eyes were covered.

"Ta-da! Guess who I am~"

Mei smiled.

"Pado?"

"Wrong~"

"cherry?"

"Wrong~"

......

After guessing at several names.

"Kevin?"

"No! The voice is definitely different, Mei! You guessed it from the beginning, you're just teasing me on purpose, hmph!"

Mei smiled and coaxed Airi, and it took her a while to cheer her up.

“Alright, Ellie, can you tell me about the things between Juexi from the previous civilization and you? He only gave me a brief overview of the previous civilization yesterday.”

"Okay, Mei, don't let Juexi's seemingly unserious appearance fool you, he's incredibly amazing~"

......

Kiana had just entered the kitchen when she saw Juexi below.

"Oh~ Captain, I caught you cooking for yourself~ Cook me a portion too~"

After saying that, Kiana hugged Juexi's arm.

"Danger. Qibao, wait a minute."

"Oh, it's nothing~ Captain, you forgot, I'm a Herrscher, how could I be afraid of boiling water?"

"Yeah, not even afraid of a dead pig."

"Uh-huh."

Kiana happily hugged Juexi, but her little brain wasn't quick enough to process what was happening, and she didn't react for a moment.

"No, you insulted me!"

"Not bad, Qibao, you reacted faster this time than last time."

"Beat you!"

After saying that, Kiana started arguing with Juexi...

The noodles were ready in no time, and Juexi started serving them to Kiana. Juexi looked at the noodles, while Kiana rested her chin on her hands, squinting at Juexi.

"Hey, Captain, don't you miss me~"

"Of course I want to. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm not used to sleeping alone anymore."

Kiana looked very proud.

"Hehe, looks like you can't do without me, Captain~"

"Of course! Without Qibao, I'd go completely insane. By the way, you ate so much of Mei's cooking this morning, are you still hungry?"

Kiana immediately thought of the crazy captain from the previous civilization.

"Don't be mentally unstable! It's because my stomach will always make room for you, Captain~ Hehe, I can eat as much as you make, Captain."

"So, between me and Mei, who cooks better?"

Kiana answered instantly without even thinking.

"Mei's cooking is delicious."

Jue Xi immediately took the bowl of noodles away from Kiana.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, Captain."

"Ok?"

Kiana naturally wrapped her arms around Juexi's neck.

"Mei's cooking is better than the Captain's, but I love your cooking more, Captain~"

Jue Xi was somewhat bewildered.

"Qibao, why are you being so frank after just one night?"

Kiana snatched the noodles away and made a face.

"Because I want to eat noodles~"

Jue Xi smiled but said nothing more, then turned around and cooked another bowl. (The previous bowl was actually intended for Ji Zi.)

Kiana looked at Juexi's back as she ate her noodles. She thought to herself, she didn't know why, but after seeing Mei, she liked Juexi even more. She was such a good sleeper, but she had insomnia last night. When she woke up and saw that the person next to her wasn't the captain, she felt a little uneasy.

"Captain, I'm finished eating!"

"full?"

Kiana patted her tummy.

"Hiccup~~~"

Jue Xi had cooked another bowl of noodles. Kiana looked at Jue Xi with some surprise, after all, she knew his appetite, and the captain shouldn't be hungry.

"Captain, what's this?"

"This is for Teacher Himeko. She was drinking and didn't get up to eat breakfast. I'll go and bring it to her."

Kiana sensed something was wrong.

"Captain, did you drink with Himeko-sensei yesterday?"

"Yes, I had some."

Kiana was a little jealous.

"You're not allowed to drink with Himeko-sensei anymore! You must uphold male virtues, and you can't even lay a hand on Himeko-sensei!"

Jue Xi thought of teasing Kiana.

"What about Mei and Airi?"

"you!"

Kiana knew perfectly well that Juexi was teasing her, but she inexplicably felt incredibly uncomfortable and angry. Why did her chest feel so tight? And why did her nose feel so sore—had she burned her nose with the noodles?

"No...Captain..."

Jue Xi immediately knelt down to comfort Kiana.

"Oh dear, Qi Bao, Qi Bao, don't be angry, don't be angry. I was wrong, I'll never joke like that again. Don't worry, Qi Bao, I, Mu Juexi, will only ever be with you, the best person in the world~"

"Will you still drink with Himeko-sensei in the future?"

"Don't drink anymore."

Why don't you ask me why I won't allow it?

"I won't ask. I'm henpecked. I do whatever Qibao tells me to do."

This remark made Kiana laugh.

"You're henpecked? I'm usually the one who listens to you more."

Seeing Kiana happy, Juexi cupped her face and kissed her. (Behind this is a bowl of almost soggy noodles: "Isn't anyone going to speak up for me?")
