I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Kiana heard Li Xiao's voice, looked up at him, opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

That's true. They're a perfect match, both talented and beautiful. I'm just a newcomer, so what right do I have to stop them?

She had noticed Mei hadn't returned to her dorm for a long time last night, so she went out to look for her out of concern.

For reasons unknown, she came to Li Xiao's residence.

As a result, she heard some sounds that nearly drove her to the brink of collapse...

Seeing her like this, Li Xiao probably understood that she had most likely been eavesdropping yesterday.

He was too excited last night and didn't pay attention to his surroundings, which was a bit of a miscalculation.

"Come with me, Kiana."

Li Xiao greeted her.

But Kiana remained unresponsive.

Left with no other option, Li Xiao spoke again:

"Kiana, you wouldn't want Mei to see you like this, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's eyes finally showed a flicker of emotion.

Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?!

Can't you see I'm sad?! Can't you read the room?

Although she thought this way, she really didn't want Mei to see her like this, so she still got up and silently followed Li Xiao.

After arriving at the breakfast shop and buying some breakfast, Li Xiao invited Kiana to sit down.

"Kiana, you must have heard everything outside the door yesterday, right?"

"......Um."

"So, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"No."

"But your expression doesn't seem like it."

Kiana frowned and retorted, "Do you expect me to give you my blessings?"

"That's not necessary."

Li Xiao dismissed her guess and instead asked:

What kind of feelings do you have for Mei?

"Eh?"

Kiana was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Li Xiao to ask such a question.

"Can't answer that? Then let me be more specific. Do you like Mei like a lover, or do you just see her as your best friend? Or is it some other kind of feeling?"

"I...."

Kiana found herself unable to answer the question.

She hadn't known Raiden Mei for very long, but Raiden Mei's gentleness easily won her over.

Ultimately, she herself couldn't quite explain what her feelings for Raiden Mei were.

"Is this question difficult to answer?"

"I do not know."

Kiana thought for a long time, but still couldn't describe her feelings for Raiden Mei.

"Would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Ok?

Kiana looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I think you probably consider Mei your mother."

Upon hearing this, Kiana's pupils dilated instantly, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, staring at Li Xiao in disbelief.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Sit down quickly, don't disturb the others."

Li Xiao pressed her hand down, gesturing for her to sit down.

Kiana noticed two girls at another table looking at them curiously, so she quickly sat down and lowered her voice to speak:

Why did you just say that?

Li Xiao took a bite of the sandwich, frowned, and realized he still wasn't used to eating this kind of food. So he put the sandwich down and replied:

"I was just stating my guess."

"Even if it's a guess, it can't be too far off!"

"Then let me ask you, do you think Mei is very gentle?"

"Ah."

Kiana nodded.

"Don't you feel warm and relaxed every time you're with Mei?"

Kiana nodded again.

"When you're with Mei, do you feel like you've become carefree like a child?"

"Yes...right?"

Kiana said, somewhat uncertainly.

Li Xiao directly characterized this situation with absolute certainty.

"So you're treating Mei like your mother?"

"Is that right?"

Kiana was a little incredulous, but she also felt that Li Xiao seemed to have a point.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, Li Xiao is going to use this method to entice Kiana.

Furthermore, Kiana has a father complex, and her liking for girls stems from Siegfried's teachings.

Blindly following the teachings of her revered father, her sexual orientation naturally became skewed.

Perhaps she truly harbored romantic feelings for Raiden Mei, but perhaps it was more that Raiden Mei's appearance filled the void left by the loss of her mother.

It allowed her to experience the maternal love she had always dreamed of, and gave her someone to rely on after years of wandering.

Ultimately, most anime girls are quite starved for love, as their parents often either abandon them or disappear.

"You see, even you realize it yourself, don't you?"

"and many more!"

Kiana suddenly thought of something.

"If Mei were my mother, then wouldn't you be...?"

"what?"

Li Xiao was full of questions. "You have quite the imagination."

He said jokingly, "You can call me Dad if you want."

"Get away! I don't want to!"

Kiana said, embarrassed and annoyed.

Chapter 82 Kiana, Will You Go Out with Me?

Kiana just had a momentary lapse of judgment and made that connection.

Now that I've come to my senses, of course I can't admit it.

"Forget what I just said!"

Kiana stood up again, gripping Li Xiao's arm tightly, her expression terrifying.

Li Xiao looked bewildered.

Did you just say anything?

"Humph!"

Seeing Li Xiao's cooperation, Kiana gave a soft hum and sat down with satisfaction.

"Getting back to the point, now do you know what kind of feelings you have for Mei?"

"...I think I understand now. You said all this so that I wouldn't stop you from being with Mei, right?"

Don't worry, I never intended to ruin your relationship. As long as...

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"As long as you treat Mei well, don't bully her, and are devoted to her, I won't object to you two being together."

The previous words were fine, but upon hearing the phrase "wholeheartedly," Li Xiao's expression instantly turned awkward.

Seeing his expression, Kiana narrowed her eyes and looked at him with some suspicion.

"You can't even do this much?"

"Uh, actually I have other lovers."
