Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Fang Xun chuckled and said, "It's our Yingbao's birthday, how could we forget such an important day?"

"Come on, come on, I've prepared other birthday surprises for you!"

As they spoke, Fang Xun reached out and put a mask on Lei Yingdian to conceal his identity.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun took Ying's hand, and the two ran through the streets of Daoqi.

Chapter 243 Bonus Chapter: Lei Movie Says 'I Do'

Before long, Fang Xun also dragged Lei Yingdian to the huge cherry blossom tree on the deserted island.

On the table were three-colored dumplings, cherry blossom mochi, and dumpling milk.

All of them are desserts that Lei Movie likes to eat.

"The first step in celebrating a birthday should be dessert."

"How was it? Was it a pleasant surprise?"

The reason Fang Xun didn't go to the castle tower to find Lei Yingdian immediately was to prepare a surprise.

Lei looked at the table full of desserts, then at Fang Xun: "Were these all prepared for me?"

Fang Xun nodded gently: "Of course, I hope you like it."

Lei picked up a tricolor dumpling and put it in his mouth; his eyes immediately lit up.

It tastes even better than the tricolor dumplings she's had at the food stall!

Lei looked up at Fang Xun and asked curiously, "Why are Fang Xun's desserts so delicious? At least... they suit my taste perfectly."

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Nothing special, it's just a matter of practice makes perfect. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Lei Yingdian nodded vigorously; she also wanted to make such delicious tricolor dumplings.

Right now, she's more interested in tasting food than cooking.

"Why are you still eating like a little kid, with cream all over your mouth?"

"If the kindergarten kids saw this, they'd probably laugh at you, the big sister."

As they spoke, Fang Xun picked up a tissue and carefully wiped the cream from the corner of Lei Yingdian's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian immediately explained, "If there were other children here, I would definitely be mindful of my image at all times."

"What I mean is... if I'm alone with Fang Xun, even in silence, I feel at peace."

Fang Xun smiled and said, "Really? I have a similar feeling."

"I really cherish the time I spend alone with Ying."

Looking into Fang Xun's bright and expressive eyes, Lei Yingdian felt her face flush slightly.

She said in a voice so weak it was almost inaudible, "Me too."

Fang Xun didn't hear those words. He stood up and turned to look at Lei Yingdian.

"Now, shall we go to Yaedo and pick out some interesting light novels?"

Lei Yingdian enjoys two things on weekdays: tasting sweets and reading light novels.

If I give Ying a light novel as a birthday gift, she'll probably like it.

What kind of light novels does Kage usually like to read?

On the way to Yaedo, Fang Xun turned to look at Lei Yingdian beside him.

Because he always reads quietly by himself, Lei felt a little embarrassed when suddenly asked this question.

However, considering that the person who asked the question was Fang Xun, Lei Movie also gave his answer.

"I like to read sweet stories, stories where the male and female protagonists get to know each other and fall in love."

Upon hearing Lei's answer, Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh.

When it comes to reading novels, Lei Movie and Lei Dian really share the same taste; they both love sweet stories.

It's fair to say that these two sisters are on the same wavelength.

"Sorry, Yaedo doesn't sell sweet love stories right now,"

After learning of Fang Xun's intention to purchase, the editor of Yaedo shook his head regretfully.

"Readers nowadays all like to read those heart-wrenching stories, and they even say they only read angst-filled novels."

"Yaedo is trying to cater to the market, so... I'm sorry."

Fang Xun stroked his chin, lost in thought.

These days, sweet romance novels have almost no market.

Fang Xun looked at Lei Movies beside him and said apologetically, "Movies, there aren't any stories of the type you want to watch on the market right now... I'm sorry."

“It’s okay,” Lei Yingdian shook his head gently. “I have a lot of light novels on my side, so it’s fine if I don’t have any.”

Lei paused for a moment, then continued, "Fang Xun, can you tell me your story? I want to hear it."

"Okay, but the story is too long, where should I begin?"

"Let's start from your first visit to Inazuma."

Fang Xun began to reminisce about the past: "The first time I came to Inazuma by boat, you brought me to the Pure Land of One Heart."

"Back then, when I saw you pull out the Dream Heart, I thought you were going to kill me..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian immediately shook his head: "That's not true. I have never had any intention of hurting Fang Xun."

"On the contrary, I want to protect Fang Xun."

"As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Seeing Lei's earnest expression, Fang Xun felt a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you."

By the time Fang Xun finished telling Lei the story, it was already night.

Lei's film's birthday is coming to an end.

At that moment, dazzling fireworks soared high above the Naganohara fireworks shop, igniting the night sky.

Firework patterns appeared on the boundless sky; it was like a cartoon version of a thunder movie.

.

Fang Xun smiled and said, "I spent several days making these fireworks. The effect is pretty good, isn't it?"

Looking at the cartoon version of himself in the sky, Lei looked at Fang Xun's profile and held his hand even tighter.

"I really like this design, I really like it."

Amidst the crackling fireworks, Fang Xun took Wendy's organ out of his pocket.

He said to Lei Yingdian, "Next, please enjoy the organ performance 'The Wind Rises'."

The song "The Wind Rises" represents Fang Xun's youth, and the lyrics also contain what Fang Xun wants to say.

Lei Yingdian sat quietly next to Fang Xun, listening attentively to the song Fang Xun had prepared for her.

.......

We traveled along the way, stopping frequently, following the trail of the boy's drifting journey.

...

Having traversed this world, I am filled with countless emotions.

Turning the pages of time, your smile unexpectedly bursts into view.

...

Seeing you again in the cool morning light, your smile was so sweet.

...

The evening breeze ruffles the gray hairs at your temples, smoothing away the scars left by memories.

In your eyes, light and shadow mingle, and your smile blossoms.

......

Fang Xun was tone-deaf when he sang; his singing style could even be described as 'lacking technique, relying entirely on emotion'.

Fortunately, Fang Xun possesses the talent of 'Magic Energy Enhancement', which can comprehensively improve various aspects of his qualities, making his singing barely listenable.

After the song ended, Lei Yingdian remained silent for a long time.

You really can't just sing and flirt with girls randomly, or you'll mess it up in no time.

If you sing well, that's fine; if you sing poorly, it's a train wreck.

Fang Xun smiled awkwardly: "I didn't sing well this time. I'll practice more when I get back."

Lei Yingdian shook his head slightly: "That's not the case. On the contrary, I think Fang Xun sings very well."

"I didn't speak just now because I was trying to understand the lyrics,"

"I think I understand now, and I'm willing."

Lei Yingdian looked at Fang Xun with a serious expression and spoke each word carefully.

Fang Xun: ? ? ?

He's just singing a song, why is it all about whether he's willing or not?

The interpretation of this image is that it's in the atmosphere.

...

After a brief silence, Fang Xun looked at Lei Yingdian beside him and then asked, "Ying, what's your birthday wish?"

"My birthday wish... is that someone can help me govern Inazuma."

As he spoke, Lei Yingdian's beautiful purple eyes were fixed on Fang Xun.
