Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Su Zhe smiled and said, "I will take her there. Well, it will be in the courtyard of the Knights' headquarters."

Barbara hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

She also wanted to talk more with Qin, but if it was just the two of them, they would find it difficult to have a proper conversation due to various concerns.

However, with Su Zhe around, the atmosphere becomes much more relaxed.

"By the way," Barbara looked at Su Zhe curiously, "Your Excellency, you and Commander Qin..."

"It's a secret."

Su Zhe picked up his cup, took a sip, and smiled slightly: "Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."

Barbara immediately pouted and said, "I'm not a child anymore."

At her age, many girls in Mondstadt would already be married.

Su Zhe looked down and nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, it's not small."

"Ok?"

Barbara tilted her head to the side.

She immediately lowered her head, her pretty face turning bright red.

"My lord, please don't stare at those strange places..."

"Is it strange?" Su Zhe said seriously, "This is called having an eye for beauty, appreciating it, understand?"

Barbara shook her head.

To discover beauty, do we need to go there?

"For example... well, Abedo always paints, right? Actually, you don't know, he sometimes paints art pieces, like girls without clothes. In the art world, that's called art. Humans are born on this earth, originating from nature, and everything in nature is art, understand?"

"Why are people born naked? That's called pure white, a pure body and mind. At the beginning of life, people are inherently good. Clothes are just an outer shell to cover up the bottom line of morality. But if we look at it with an artistic eye, then everything is different."

Barbara blinked. Although she didn't understand, it sounded really impressive.

Art, nature, and then... Mr. Abedo paints naked girls.

"This is the greatest freedom a human being can have!"

Su Zhe solemnly replied, "That's what Lord Fengshen told me."

"Is that so?"

Barbara was surprised, though she still didn't understand, but since the Wind God had said so...

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I misunderstood you."

"It's alright. After all, the world is inherently corrupt, and not everyone can reach my level. The eyes are the windows to the soul. You can tell what those impure-hearted people are thinking just by looking into their eyes."

Chapter 38 Su Zhe: Barbara, come here, call me brother-in-law >>

Su Zhe spoke slowly, then took another sip.

"As the saying goes... as the saying goes..."

What do you mean? I can't believe it. Oh well, never mind, this is the end of it.

"Well, back to what we said before, I'll find an opportunity tomorrow afternoon, but you also need to muster up your courage. There's nothing that sisters can't say to each other. Trust me, once you call her 'sister,' all the barriers will disappear."

Barbara pursed her lips: "But... I just can't bring myself to say it."

When was the last time you called me "sister"?

She herself has forgotten.

After so long, it always feels unfamiliar.

In addition, Qin usually has a serious expression, making it even harder to call out to her.

"Then let's practice first," Su Zhe said with a smile. "Come on, try calling it out here."

"here?"

Barbara looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them.

After a long pause, she finally spoke in a barely audible voice, "Sister... Sister."

"Speak louder, you're not getting caught by the teacher in class, be confident."

"elder sister."

"Louder."

"elder sister."

"Again."

"elder sister!"

In a corner of the tavern, two seemingly abnormal people were enacting an abnormal scene.

...

The next day, Su Zhe moved the zither from the office to the courtyard at the appointed time.

"Su Zhe".

Qin said with a helpless expression, "I still have several documents to process."

“I know, your daily schedule is posted on the table, I see it.”

"Then why..."

"I want to spend more time with you, but you've been so busy and haven't had time to spend with me."

"Well..."

Su Zhe's words made Qin blush. Ever since the last time the two of them did that, they had entered a relationship.

However, as Qin requested, their relationship was not made public.

Qin didn't want to go public, firstly because it might affect the atmosphere within the Knights, and secondly because Su Zhe would be leaving again soon, and their future relationship might be uncertain.

Su Zhe couldn't refuse her, so he could only agree for the time being, thinking about when he could give Qin a big surprise.

The two were walking in the courtyard. At this time of day, the Knights of Favonius in the camp were mostly out on their own missions, so there was no need to worry about being caught on the spot.

Su Zhe took Qin's hand. Qin was a little worried and kept looking left and right, which made Su Zhe speechless and amused.

Isn't this exactly what dating in high school looks like?

"We're not doing anything wrong, look at you sneaking around like that."

"It's better not to be seen."

Qin blushed and said.

"What if, what if I see it, all over the place... um."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin's lips were sealed by Su Zhe.

The kiss lasted for quite a while before they parted. Qin quickly looked around, afraid of being seen by someone.

Su Zhe laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's no one else here besides us."

Qin remained silent, gazing into the distance with a strange expression. Her cheeks grew increasingly red, and suddenly she turned and ran away.

"what happened?"

Su Zhe looked in the direction she had just come from and saw Barbara standing there awkwardly, holding a lunchbox.

"Um... I might have come at the wrong time, sorry."

"..."

...

Ten minutes later.

Su Zhe finally managed to pull Qin, who was hiding in the room pretending to be an ostrich, out of the room.

"Qin, Commander Qin, I've made some snacks and black tea..."

Barbara's eyes darted around as she spoke, glancing at Su Zhe one moment and then at Qin the next, her mind reeling with astonishment.

So, it turns out that the leader of the Qin Troupe and the Envoy have such a good relationship.

Barbara was very happy, but she was also embarrassed because she had witnessed what had just happened.

Qin was even more embarrassed, completely at a loss for words. She would rather be seen by anyone else than by Barbara.

She kept her head down, holding the teacup Barbara offered her, without saying a word.

Su Zhe wasn't embarrassed at all. What was there to be embarrassed about? So what if I kissed my girlfriend? If the head of discipline came, he'd kick me!

"Ahem~ Hey, Qin, come and try Barbara's cooking."

He handed her a cookie.

Qin ate in small bites, crunching softly, then took a sip of tea. She didn't know what it tasted like, but it went down into her stomach anyway.

There were three people, two of whom were girls who didn't dare to look at each other.

Su Zhe sighed.

"Hey you two, you're sisters, do you have to act like this?"

Qin reached out and pinched Su Zhe's thigh in an annoyed manner.

Who do you think caused this?

"Qin, why are you pinching me?"

Su Zhe asked deliberately.

Barbara looked up.

Qin immediately withdrew her hand.
