Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"That's a long story. I started with your sister like this, then I did that, and finally it turned out like this."

Barbara: "?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Qin rolled her eyes at Su Zhe and said to Barbara, "Don't tell anyone about our affair. Let's leave it at that for now, and don't mention it again."

Having served as the troupe leader for so long, Qin quickly regained her composure and displayed the authority of a troupe leader.

It was that familiar feeling, both familiar and strange. Barbara lowered her head and responded.

"Don't be so serious. We should be... yes, having a family dinner. There's no Qin, Pastor Barbara, or the Wind God's Messenger here, just the two sisters, and I should be your brother-in-law now."

Su Zhe stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Come on, call me brother-in-law."

Barbara glanced at Qin, but didn't dare to speak.

"Ignore her, from now on your sister has to listen to me."

Qin: "..."

Barbara hesitated and asked, "Brother-in-law?"

"Haha~ Not bad, not bad."

Su Zhe laughed and took a pearl from Geoka's mouth, handing it over. "Here, this is a gift from my brother-in-law."

Barbara's eyes lit up.

"So beautiful, where did you come from?"

"These are what I collected on Umijima Island. Umijima Island in Inazuma is a beautiful place. You can go and see it when you have time."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Barbara exclaimed excitedly.

Qin: "..."

Her expression turned strange, as if she hadn't expected Barbara to be so easily bribed.

In fact, the two of them had already made plans at the tavern. If they hadn't stumbled upon that awkward situation, they might have been even more excited than they are now.

"Look, isn't your sister adorable?"

Su Zhe said to her with a smile.

Qin pursed her lips, searching her mind for a long time, but still couldn't think of what expression to use.

"Barbara, aren't you going to call me 'big sister'?"

"Sister..." Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, recalling yesterday's intense practice, and called out with a bright smile, "Sister."

The zither trembled slightly.

Looking at Barbara, his face showed excitement and disbelief, his expression was extremely complex, but in the end, what remained was a relieved smile.

"Ah."

"See? It's so simple."

Su Zhe smiled.

Qin looked at him, without saying thank you, but her eyes said it all.

The three spent a pleasant afternoon with tea and snacks. Su Zhe just ate, while Qin and Barbara did most of the chatting. The two sisters talked about their childhood, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop.

Qin only left in a hurry after she remembered her work.

She was busy until evening, and when she finally found Su Zhe again, he was the only one there.

"Did Barbara go back?"

"Yes, it's so late, she must have her own things to do."

Upon hearing this, Qin smiled and said, "That child... has always worked very hard."

"You're just like me," Su Zhe chuckled. "You two sisters are the same; you both like to work hard quietly."

Jean didn't argue, because hard work was a quality that the Gungnird lineage should have. Strive to become better and stronger, only in this way can one possess the power to protect Mondstadt.

"Su Zhe, thank you. If it weren't for you, Barbara and I... would probably have continued as before."

The barriers between people are not something that can be overcome simply by wanting to.

There is no distinction between simple and difficult; there is only the right way to eliminate them.

If you use the right method, it's simple.

If the approach is wrong, even if they were given a few more years, things might not turn out the way they do today.

Start a conversation, evoke past memories, and as you chat, the knot in your heart will naturally untie itself.

Perhaps for Su Zhe, this matter is nothing.

But for the zither, it holds extraordinary significance.

"Um...when are you leaving?"

Qin suddenly asked.

"The day after tomorrow," Su Zhe said softly. "I've finished dealing with everything here. Considering the time, it's about time to go back and prepare for the Lantern Festival."

Qin didn't speak, but nodded silently.

She accompanied Su Zhe until they reached his room, but did not leave as she had done before.

"Can...can I come in and sit down?"

Qin suddenly said.

She lowered her head, her voice sounding somewhat nervous.

Su Zhe was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Chapter 39 Qin: I swear by the sword, may the wind accompany you.

Su Zhe's room Q389@ was very simple; it was originally a 'guest room' that the Knights had set up to entertain distinguished guests, but Qin later set it aside for Su Zhe.

Well, I added some cozy little things inside, so it can barely be considered a room for one person.

In fact, if Su Zhe wanted, he could simply spend money to buy a house in Mondstadt and then hire a few Mondstadt girls as maids to take care of him; it wouldn't cost much anyway.

But Qin has already taken care of everything for him, so we can't let him down, can we?

At this moment, Qin walked into the room. It was late at night, and it was the first time she had ever been alone with a man.

In the office? Of course not, it's work after all.

"Please sit wherever you like."

Su Zhe gestured for Qin to sit down.

I initially thought Jean was going back, since Gunnhildr is a famous noble family in Mondstadt, and his family values ​​etiquette and manners. Even though he and Jean are lovers, he shouldn't do anything too outrageous.

What outrageous thing happened?

If you don't understand this, go take a ride on the bus to kindergarten.

Generally speaking, according to the rules of a large family, the first step is to choose a suitable time to announce the news and receive everyone's blessings.

Before getting married, you need to get engaged, and for the engagement, you need to hold a banquet and invite celebrities from all walks of life to attend.

In short, it all boils down to one word: face.

If those old fogies in Gunnhild found out that the Queen had sneaked into a man's room in the middle of the night, when she got back, her aunts and uncles would probably dig up the whole story and check her for any injuries.

Of course, given Su Zhe's status, even if Gunnhild had any ideas, he would absolutely not dare to cause trouble.

Would you like something to drink?

Seeing that Qin was a little nervous, Su Zhe asked with a smile.

"drink???"

Qin looked around, her eyes somewhat blank.

There's nothing in this room, so where did the drink come from?

Whatever they needed, they would just ask the garrisoned knights to bring it to them.

"Don't worry, order whatever you like. Consider it a gift from an angel. Just tell me what you'd like to drink."

"Then... I'd like a cup of Mingguan?"

Qin asked in a questioning tone.

The next moment, in the blink of an eye, Su Zhe had two drinks in his hand.

"Give."

Hand it over.

Qin drank a cup with doubt, and it was indeed Mingguan, and it even had the same flavor as Angel's Gift.

"How did you do that!?"

"secret."

Su Zhe smiled slightly, "What else would you like to drink?"

"Enough! Do you want to take everything from the Angel's Gift? Senior Diluc will be reporting this to the Knights of Fame tomorrow."

"Haha~ He wouldn't do that. That little bit of money for drinks is just a drop in the ocean for him. The Knights should think of a way to take advantage of the landlord. How rich is Diluc? It would be good to get him to contribute some to the city's development."

Qin rolled her eyes at Su Zhe: "You underestimate Senior Diluc. During the Dragon Plague, Dawn Winery provided a lot of supplies and Mora to help. After the Dragon Plague, Senior Diluc donated a billion Mora in one go to help with the recovery and reconstruction."

"Uh..."

Su Zhe was in a huge embarrassment.

Your master is still your master. Even if he's down on his luck now, he's not someone you can just joke around with.

After chatting for a few minutes, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, and Qin was no longer as nervous as before.

She lowered her head, holding the cup in both hands, and remained silent for a moment.

“Grunhild, from before the founding of Mondstadt, our ancestors fought to protect Mondstadt. This ideal has withstood the test of time, from the early days of Mondstadt to its prosperous period, and then to the dark reign. No matter how times change, it has never changed.”
