Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

"If this change gradually covers up your previous yearning, can Xiao Youya still maintain that feeling of liking you?"

She knew it was wrong to do so. It was stupid to ask a young girl a question that even adults couldn't solve.

But for some reason, Frederica hoped to get some answers from her perspective that she had been thinking about for a long time but never got... or was unwilling to think about.

Chapter 117 I like you and everyone else!

"...I don't know how to answer such a question, but...there are also some things that will not change, right?"

Youya wiped the cup that had been used to pour milk tea, her tone relaxed.

"For example, appearance, voice, or more fundamentally, the fact that one is considerate and caring about others."

"But all this will change as time goes by..."

We are covered with wrinkles due to aging, we quarrel with each other over trivial household matters, and we gradually lose our patience due to all the shortcomings that we have never seen in the past.

Frederica seemed a little bored. She knew the girl couldn't convince her, but how could she blame her?

Do I have to persuade her that she shouldn't like someone because of these changes?

What's more, she is only a few years old, and I am already a few years old... It is extreme to impose adult standards on children.

"But there will definitely be a part of her left that looks like her!"

Yuya responded with her willful words. And Frederica shook her head and gave another example: "What if, because of a fire or some other accident, your face becomes completely different from before, and your heart is hurt, and you become extreme and don't trust other people's care, what will you do?"

"…I don't think a fire alone would put her in such a dangerous situation, but I don't know if she would be able to maintain her feelings of love at that time…"

The girl's expression suddenly became more complicated. Such realistic problems always make people worry deeply.

"But even so, I won't give up. I know that kind of bad feeling very well, so I don't want her to experience it, even if she is disliked or told that it is a boring self-feeling.

As long as she still needs me, and she doesn't intend to degenerate like that, I will always stay by her side. At worst... we will fly up to the sky together, and rush towards the sun with all our strength! I will not let her down until she is willing to admit her mistakes!"

Frederica could sense that the child was not lying.

But what happened to make her have such thoughts?

Such words are not suitable for her age, but they are suitable for her personality.

She couldn't help but confirm it out loud.

"...Ms. Yuya, do you like Barbara so much?"

"Of course. It's not an exaggeration to say that I like her the most! I also promised her that I would make her the best idol!"

Her smile no longer had a sly hint of cunning, but was slightly blushing, as if all the little secrets in her heart had been revealed.

"I see." Frederica lowered her head again and took a sip of the "Love Poem". It was still as sweet as ever, but the beautiful memories that had been lingering in her mind finally sank.

Instead, there was something else that was even more intense and joyful.

Of course, she has not forgiven the man yet, and it is impossible for her to think of getting back together with him just because of these words, so that her daughters no longer have to wait anxiously.

They are not ready yet, and neither am I...if I act on my own, it will only increase the pain caused by this disagreement.

What Frederica felt was something else, which was joy that her daughter had such a friend.

No, maybe more than just friends.

This is undoubtedly asking for permission to marry from the lovers' parents, right?

From the very beginning, this child was very purposeful.

Frederica couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It has been so long since I laughed so heartily.

She liked such children very much and couldn't hate them at all, no matter how childish their ideas were or how much they loved her daughter.

If her gender was changed, I might still have some concerns, but this is a very good thing for girls...

No matter what, they won't really hurt each other.

Even if they find that they are not suitable for each other later, the most they will do is have a quarrel and separate.

It's a wonderful and fresh feeling.

I was actually thinking about these things for my little daughter who is not even a girl yet.

But, this is fine...

At least, I feel a lot more relaxed.

As for Qin's problem, it seems now that she is simply putting too much pressure on herself, and she should be given some time to rest.

Let her go out and play with the child on her day off this week.

After quickly making up her mind, Frederica also drank the love poem in one gulp. After wiping the corners of her mouth, she also stood up.

"I am very happy to chat with you. I hope Barbara or Qin can bring you to my house next time. I will entertain you then. Miss Youya...or rather, do you mind if I call you Youya directly?"

"Of course not, of course not. I think you can be like a mother to me!"

The girl with a sweet smile took advantage of her gender and age to speak threatening words.

Fortunately, no one noticed anything strange. Even Frederica, the person involved, looked at her with a loving gaze and said something softly.

"I'll be looking forward to that day."

After saying goodbye, Youya also heard a strange cry of pain coming from the corner of the stairs.

Then there was the sound of something rolling down the stairs.

“Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… Ugh! This is bad.”

Kaiya covered his bruised forehead with his hand, looking embarrassed.

Next to him was Diluk, who was also sitting on the floor. The boy's fair cheeks were as red as his hair as he explained hurriedly.

“S-Sorry, it was Kaia who insisted on dragging me over here… I just tried to pull him back and accidentally…”

"Stop making excuses, the two of you. Just eavesdropping on my sister's conversation together is enough to label you as having bad intentions. Come on! Come with me to the Knights and surrender!"

Sister Eula stood up from her original position without any shame and spoke condescendingly.

Kaiya said exaggeratedly as if he had been betrayed: "Huh? Wasn't this what you agreed to?!"

"I, I didn't! You clearly misunderstood my meaning..."

Sister Youla's gaze became vague and she didn't dare to look at Youya directly.

However, seeing how embarrassed they were, Youya did not feel unhappy about being eavesdropped. Instead, after holding back for a few seconds, she finally laughed out loud.

"Puhu. What are you doing? If you want to hear it, just tell me openly."

"But, most people would mind being asked who they like the most, right?"

Eula said hesitantly.

"And they would mostly say things like they like their father, mother, or their older sisters and brothers. Just like I respect my dear brother very much!"

"I'm sorry, Kaia. Even if you are my adopted brother, I still can't accept this... I'm so sorry. But don't worry, I won't discriminate against you because of this. This is the freedom that Mondstadt allows."

Diluk pushed Kaeya's face away. His scalp suddenly tingled at the sincere tone of his voice, as if he took Kaeya's joke seriously.

"Hey - come on, you're kidding me! You're almost getting away with it!"

"Hahaha! Yuya really likes Barbara the most, and everyone else too!"

The little girl has a beautiful smile.

“…Huh? Sister, you were ranked first before, right?!”

And a sister who has a sister complex was so jealous that she was about to cry.

The two teenagers who were playing with each other looked ashamed, but they couldn't help but giggle aloud.

Chapter 118 Return to Lawrenceburg

The next day.

Master Cripps, who came back last night, was not in a hurry to go back to the Dawn Winery, but decided to stay for one night.

Afterwards, I tasted the apple wine prepared by Youya and was greatly inspired.

I talked with her for a long time about this issue, and we both learned a lot, especially Youya. As far as the profession of bartender is concerned, there is probably no one in the whole of Mond who is better than Master Cripps.

The experience I gained from him was quite a lot, and it was really eye-opening. The taste created by the exquisite proportions of ingredients was truly extraordinary.

It was not until Eula and Diluk reminded them that it was getting late that the two ended their conversation in the tavern with reluctance.

And today is the day they agreed to go to the Dawn Winery together.

And, a side trip to Lawrenceburg.

Although I don't have much hope that my books are still there, it would be a relief if I could find them.

After having breakfast and telling Grandpa An about this matter in advance, he also went to the tavern with them and told Master Cripps not to let them come back too late.

After all, the Knights also have something to ask Youya. Apart from the Azir incident, the Fatui also need to give her an explanation.

So, this time I definitely can’t really treat it as a vacation, there are still many things to be dealt with.

The group set out from the entrance of Mondstadt. The caravan composed of wineries formed a long dragon, and also accompanied them were members of the cavalry squad who were ordered by Grand Commander Falga to escort them.

Although Master Cripps is easy-going and friendly, like an uncle next door, his status is no less important than that of the Grand Master.

If anything happened to him, Mondstadt's wine industry would be the first to be affected. Even with Diluk as the heir, everyone knew that this was not a huge fortune that a child could manage.

By then, there will probably be countless agents coming to your door with ulterior motives.

No matter how detached the Knights are from the world, they still need to eat.

The main source of funding originally came from the church and the wine industry. If half of it was suddenly lost, it would undoubtedly be like cutting off one arm.

Therefore, as the head of finance and a key figure in Mondstadt, Master Cripps enjoyed the same treatment as a Grand Master.

These knights are enough to send him back to the winery safely, and they can also clear out some hillock strongholds that have been surveyed in advance by the reconnaissance knight teams to prevent these monsters from developing into tribes.

The journey was smooth and everyone arrived at Lawrenceburg with almost no obstacles.

Compared to the last time I saw it, the trees that were as oppressive as dark clouds have been cleared away by people due to the fire, leaving only the burnt and damaged Lawrenceburg, standing there silently like a tombstone.

No one lives here anymore, and some wild animals have occupied it. A snow sparrow even boldly landed on a branch, its chubby head slightly tilted, staring at the humans below.

"It's completely deserted..."

This was not the first time that Youla had seen this patch of ruined walls and eaves, but she had not expected that the passage of time would be so cruel. After just a short absence, this place had become abandoned.

It is really ironic that the old aristocrats who once pursued luxury and wealth have now scattered like birds and beasts.

"Yeah. I didn't expect so many things to happen later..."

Youya couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you still planning on going in?"

Kaia stood aside, folding his arms and observing the ruins. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but his eyes looked deep.

"Of course. It was just a big fire. It won't burn everything here to ashes. There should be some things left inside."

Eula nodded. However, she didn't plan to let Yuya go in with her, so she turned to Diluk and said, "I'll ask you to take care of Yuya while I'm in."

“Okay.” Diluk nodded, but when he remembered what his father had taught him last night, he quickly said, “Let Kaeya go in and help you look for it. One more person will make it more efficient.”

Eula hesitated for a moment and looked at Kaia, who surprisingly did not raise any objections. He just shrugged and said, "Sure. Let's finish our search sooner and leave sooner. I always feel like I don't want to stay here any longer..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he stopped awkwardly and wanted to explain something.

But to his surprise, Eula nodded in agreement and said bluntly: "I don't like staying here either, so let's just end this quickly."

The two entered Lawrence Castle, while Yuya and Diluk stayed on the periphery.

While the search had just begun, Youya did not stay idle, but started a chat with Diluk.

"Brother Diluk, you should know Aunt Frederica from yesterday, right?"

"Yes. After all, my father's identity is there, and I also got to know many people. Among them, Ms. Frederica left a deep impression on me."

He recalled that he had met the other person once at a banquet when he was young, and it was also at that time that he met his current junior, Qin.

"So, what do you think about Sister Qin?"
