I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"what?!"

Kiana slammed her fist on the table for the third time today, but she ignored it all and just glared angrily at Li Xiao.

"You're still not satisfied even though you have Mei? I knew I couldn't entrust Mei to someone like you. I'm going to expose you to Mei!"

"Actually, Mei knows about this."

"What?"

Kiana's angry expression froze.

"...Mei agreed?"

Li Xiao nodded.

He explained the situation to Mei last night, and after much deliberation, she agreed, but only on the condition that he promise never to abandon her.

"Did you lie to Mei?"

"No, I told her the truth."

"How could Mei possibly agree?! That's impossible."

Kiana looked like she'd witnessed the end of the world.

How could that be? How could Mei, who is gentle, kind, and always cooks for me, be willing to be with a scumbag?

"...you bastard."

Thinking about the wonderful times she had spent with Mei these past few days, and then looking at Li Xiao, that scumbag, Kiana's expression suddenly turned ferocious.

"Take this personality correction punch!"

She suddenly swung her fist and smashed it into Li Xiao's face.

Li Xiao reached out and grabbed her hand, firmly holding it in place.

Right now, she's still too weak compared to Li Xiao.

"Let me go! You bastard! I'm definitely going to beat you up today."

After realizing that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free, Kiana roared at Li Xiao.

Fortunately, Li Xiao blocked out the surrounding noise after she slammed the table for the first time, otherwise it would have definitely attracted some onlookers.

However, it wouldn't be good for the two of them to perform a pantomime here, as the two girls at the next table who were watching the commotion hadn't left yet.

So he decisively reached out, grabbed Kiana, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and ran.

This action stunned the two girls who were watching the spectacle.

"Hey! Put me down! You bastard!"

Kiana kept patting Li Xiao's back with her hands and kicking his face repeatedly, trying to get him to put her down.

Li Xiao didn't hold back when faced with her making such a fuss, and gave her a hard slap on the butt.

"Ugh!"

Kiana's face flushed red instantly, and then she started making a scene even more fiercely.

"You filthy scoundrel! How dare you... how dare you..."

But by this time, Li Xiao had already found a secluded spot.

Li Xiaocai casually used the wind to block out the camera before putting Kiana down.

As soon as he put it down, he was punched and kicked by the girl.

This time, Li Xiao didn't resist. She simply used water elements to coat her skin with a film, allowing her to vent her frustration without feeling any pain or discomfort.

A short while later, Kiana stopped, panting heavily.

"Ha...ha...how can you be so shameless?"

She had aimed nine out of ten punches at his face, yet he didn't break through his defenses.

Li Xiao made a gesture that would infuriate any Korean.

"Because I'm just a tiny bit better than you."

"cut!"

Kiana couldn't stand his pretentious attitude.

"Speak! What do you want with me tied up here? Let me make this clear, I will not be fooled by you again this time! Mei absolutely cannot be handed over to a womanizer like you!"

Li Xiao smiled.

Kiana, have you ever thought about something?

"uh-huh?"

Kiana was curious to see what kind of nonsense he could come up with.

"Whether I'm here or not, Mei will eventually leave you. You should understand that Mei can't be with you forever."

"What do you want to say?"

Kiana frowned and asked.

She knew this, of course, but she hadn't thought about it deeply before.

What I'm trying to say is, why don't you try dating me too?

"what?"

Kiana's eyes widened, her mouth agape in shock.

"No way? You want to sleep with me too?"

"Girls shouldn't say things like that, like 'going on a date,' please say 'dating.'"

Kiana tilted her head back, revealing an expression that resembled that of an old person, a subway, and a cell phone.

"Aren't they all the same thing?"

"Dating is an interaction between two people who like each other, it's not just about sex."

"Ha, do you think I could possibly fall for you?"

"Why is it impossible? Nothing is absolute, is it?"

"I said it's impossible, and that's final!"

"Let's leave it at that then. But I do like you. If you ever fall for me, you can just tell me."

Kiana's expression became extremely complicated. Had she just been confessed to? And by a jerk no less?

"Don't worry, that day will never come! Even if I starve to death or jump off the 100th floor of this building, I will never fall in love with you!"

Li Xiao put on a very sad expression:

"I got rejected, and I'm a little sad."

Kiana saw how upset he was and thought that since he was the first person to confess his feelings to her, she should comfort him.

"Hey you......"

Before he could even open his mouth, Li Xiao grinned and said in a cheeky tone:

"Hehe, I lied to you."

"Damn it! People like you really should just die!"

Kiana punched Li Xiao in the face again.

Li Xiao took her hand off her face again and pinched it.

"Although my sadness just now was fake, my feelings for you are real. And it would be good for you if we were together."

"I will not agree to it no matter what the benefits are!"

Kiana refused as quickly as ever.

"But if we're together, you can be with Mei forever too."

Upon hearing this, Kiana wavered for a moment. But she quickly recovered.

"Ha, how could a scumbag like you possibly bring happiness to Mei? Just you wait! Mei will soon see your true colors and dump you!"

"Then let's wait and see."

Li Xiao smiled and wasn't in a hurry.

Kiana will face many more hardships in the future, and he will have plenty of opportunities to win her favor. For now, this is enough.

After saying these words, Li Xiao did not try to keep Kiana any longer and let her leave on her own.

He took the breakfast back and continued his intimate moments with Raiden Mei.

Over the next few days, Mei was so gentle and charming that he lingered there, reluctant to leave.

Aside from taking a trip back to Teyvat when he had some free time, he completely forgot about the Paradise of the Dead that he had originally planned to visit.

It's another early morning.

Li Xiao sat up in bed, looked at Raiden Mei who was fast asleep beside him, slapped his forehead, and complained to himself in a somewhat speechless manner.

"Li Xiao, Li Xiao, how could you be so depraved! It's decided! I'm going to the Land of Bliss right now!"

Startled awake by his movement, Raiden Mei rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily:

"Li Xiao, what's wrong? Why are you up so early? Were you thinking about something again?"
