Reading poems from Teyvat

Although at this time the thunder and lightning were really seeing Shen Zhigui off.

When she sent Shen Zhigui to the cherry tree outside Inazuma Castle, Shen Zhigui saw that although she had a veil on her head, she still had the delicate and fragile temperament of a noble lady, so she said a little worriedly: "That's enough, are you sure you can go back by yourself?"

"How about you take me back?"

Lei Dianzhen immediately replied with a smile.

Then there is no end.

Shen Zhigui said in his heart.

“But I just want this to never end.”

Lei Dianzhen seemed to see through Shen Zhigui's thoughts and spoke directly.

Shen Zhigui could only sigh.

"Don't worry," Raiden Shinya still smiled, but said, "Aying also gave me the amulet she deployed the 'Eye of the Evil Star'. This place is not far away, so there will be no problem with safety. After all, I have practiced martial arts with you for half a month, so I am not that weak. I just want to come out and take a walk, and sending you there is just a convenience."

"Goodbye, then?"

When Shen Zhigui heard her say that, he had no choice but to nod and say.

Lei Dianzhen's eyes suddenly turned and he said, "You gave Ah Ying a poem a few days ago. Did you give me one before we parted?"

"But that poem sounds more like a mockery, doesn't it?"

Shen Zhigui didn't quite understand her idea: Who wouldn't be happy to be given a poem like that? Although Lei Dianyi's reaction was also strange afterwards, maybe she just figured something out after hearing the poem. After all, few people dared to say such words to her face.

"Whether it's ridicule or admonition, Ah Ying finally came to her senses after listening to your poem, and I can also see from your poem what kind of image she has in your mind."

So the reason you ask me this question is to ask what image I have of you in my mind?

But that poem was originally copied!

Although from his point of view, Lu Dongbin's literary talent is not that impressive.

But when he saw the former Thundergod slightly raising his head, his lavender eyes like glass showing a clear look, he searched his mind for a moment, pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around, raised his hand high, waved it, and then his whole figure gradually walked away in the wilderness that seemed to be swallowed by the sea and sky, and the song that came out became increasingly vague:

"The sky is connected to the clouds and the morning mist, the Milky Way is about to turn and the sails are dancing. It's as if my soul has returned to the emperor's place in my dream, and I hear the voice of the sky, earnestly asking me where I am going.

"I lament the long journey and the setting sun, how can I learn to be an immortal without the help of a real person. The phoenix is ​​soaring in the sky, the wind will stop, and I will take my boat to the three mountains!"

Hearing the young man actually singing this lyric, Lei Dianzhen immediately shook his head slightly:

Is this talking about himself or her?

However, one thing is certain. Even if people like them are indeed as extraordinary as gods and even have immortality, the legendary overseas wonderland mentioned in his lyrics that can make people worry-free has never really existed. Therefore, whether they are human or god, they will eventually sink in the vast world and wait for the hurricane that can allow them to survive the sea of ​​suffering.

Before that, everything still needs to wait before it can bear fruit.

Chapter 2: Epilogue ()

Liyue Harbor.

Even though someone had been gone for nearly four months, Keqing still vaguely thought that he had not been gone for long, so when she occasionally had free time, she would stand in a place with a better view above the pier and look out at the place where the water and sky meet in the east. But soon, she would regroup and devote herself to the work of the General Affairs Department, continuing her busy life that left her with almost no free time. Although during these moments of leisure, Keqing sometimes wondered if it was because her life was always filled with one job or another that she felt that someone had not been gone for that long, as if it was just yesterday, or maybe the relationship between them was not so normal from the beginning?

Although she doesn't know what is normal.

It's better to say that someone doesn't seem normal from the beginning.

Be it the moonlit night when they first met, or the rapid progress in martial arts shown when they met later, or the absurd declaration a few months later that he did not want to be bound by ordinary people's moral ethics, it was probably because of this that she always felt that someone's image was so erratic and could not give her a sense of security?

Although she doesn't need any sense of security.

On the other hand, this style and habit of a certain person seems to always give people an endless sense of mystery, making people always want to find out his secrets and see his true face that has not yet been revealed.

In fact, Keqing also knew that it was very simple to contact him. Shen He just needed to use that mechanical device to talk to him.

However, Keqing never saw Shen He contact her on weekdays, and someone seemed to have forgotten that he had the props to contact Shen He. Since the day he left, the two of them have never contacted each other again. She didn't even think that Shen He was shaken by the departure of the boy, but always believed that he would not change.

So even though Keqing saw another ship from the direction of Inazuma approaching the port at this time, she did not hold out any expectations. She just sighed slightly and was about to go back to the General Affairs Department, but she saw a thin figure suddenly leap from the mast of that ship, and then landed steadily on the dock amid everyone's exclamations. After casually saying a few words to the crew members who were handing over and the officers who were checking identities, the man suddenly waved in her direction.

Keqing unconsciously stood on tiptoe and raised her hand, but quickly came to her senses and turned her head away. She didn't want to look at him, nor did she want him to see her reaction. But after waiting for a while, she turned her head again, wanting to see where he was, but she could no longer find that person.

So she had to stand on tiptoe again and look around.

"Master Yuhengxing, who are you looking for?"

But the man's scattered voice came from the tree next to him.

Keqing raised her head immediately, only to see someone had sat on the tree at some point.

"How could you..."

"When you've been away for three days, you should look at people with new eyes. I've been away for almost half a year, so it's reasonable for me to make some progress, right?"

In fact, his speed of progress is the most unreasonable.

"So what level are you at now?"

But Keqing still asked.

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "Under normal circumstances, they are still slightly inferior to immortals, but those below immortals are basically no match for me."

"But weren't you like that before?"

Before he left, wasn't he already able to suppress the average holder of the Eye of God?

“So there are also abnormal situations.”

The young man just supported his weight with his hands, sat there and shook his legs, and asked casually: "However, Master Yuhengxing, has there been any big news in Liyue during the time I was away?"

"I told you not to call me Lord Yuhengxing."

Keqing immediately responded in a low voice.

Although she actually missed this title.

But she quickly gathered her thoughts and asked, "What kind of big news do you mean?"

"Fools?"

"What are you asking them for?"

"I heard a while ago that the lady was expelled by Inazuma, so I wondered if she had come to Liyue..."

"The lady was expelled from Inazuma?" Keqing immediately asked him, "Why was she expelled? Did she do anything against the law in Inazuma?"

"Hasn't the Fatui always been an organization that harms the world?"

"That's true."

After Keqing pondered for a moment, she asked again, "So what happens after the lady is expelled?"

"Oh, the Raiden Shogun of the Inazuma shogunate has revoked the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order, and punished a group of Kanjo Bugyo officials. It is estimated that the trade between the two countries will be more frequent in the future. You can pay attention to it in the General Affairs Department."

"General Lei Dian has withdrawn the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order?"

Keqing immediately thought of the agreement he made with her before he left, and immediately asked suspiciously: "This can't be related to you, right? Did you do something?"

"It's just a tiny bit of help," Shen Zhigui said nonchalantly, "Anyway, a place like Inazuma can't be self-sufficient in terms of normal food production, and they're at war with Kaigi Island, so it's not a wise move to continue to isolate themselves under such circumstances, right? As for the Eye Hunting Order, it's said to be related to the instigation of the Fatui, but since the Fatui's executive officers have been expelled, they naturally have no reason to continue executing it."

Although Shen Zhigui's words were flawless, Keqing still looked at him suspiciously:

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would stay in Inazuma and just improve his martial arts without interfering.

Even if he originally thought so, he could always find inexplicable reasons to intervene, and thus inexplicably make others agree with his messy theories, or agree with the situation analyzed by his theories. Then some people could find the key to the problem through his remarks, and then he would inexplicably join in and solve the problem through his equally inexplicable martial arts.

However, she didn't want to delve deeper into his past with Inazuma at this time.

She just felt a little calm for some reason. Perhaps she had not realized it before, but she was afraid that this boy would be like a kite with its string cut off. After drifting away, he would drift into the depths of the distant sky and disappear without a trace. So at this moment, she raised her face and smiled at the boy: "Anyway, welcome back."

Although at this time she actually wanted to call Shen Zhigui by his nickname.

But she couldn't really think of a suitable nickname that could accurately describe the relationship between the two.

But at this time, she heard the boy say: "Well, I'm back, Aqing."

Chapter 3: Epilogue ()

"Is this your girlfriend in Liyue?"

When Shen Zhigui and Keqing finished their conversation and walked towards her mansion together, Meng Xiang Yixin, who was carried on his back instead of being thrown into the cave like Huaying Sword and Liquan Spear, suddenly heard Lei Dianzhen's words at the conscious level. Shen Zhigui was of course aware that she could see the scenery he saw through Meng Xiang Yixin, but her words inevitably made Shen Zhigui want to throw Meng Xiang Yixin into the cave:

"What do you mean by my little girlfriend in Liyue? It makes it seem like I have a girlfriend somewhere else! And she's not even my girlfriend!"

"Eh, isn't it?"

“In front of the eyes, not in front of the eyes.”

Shen Zhigui still felt a little guilty. It wasn't that he had never had any feelings for Keqing, but wasn't he rejected when he confessed to her before?

"Lick the dog?"

Lei Dianzhen said a term he had learned while traveling around.

"It doesn't count."

Although he does seem a bit like being treated as a spare tire.

But on the other hand, isn't Keqing also his backup?

Therefore, their previous relationship could not be said to be one of who was bootlicking whom. Of course, even if their relationship went further, Shen Zhigui was not quite sure how to deal with the relationship with Shen He, so it was naturally best to maintain the status quo for now. Anyway, he still had to fulfill his destiny next, and by the way, in more than a year, when Zhongli officially started his "Ceremony of Sending Immortals", he would try to really kill a god who was said to be immortal. By then, he might really be qualified for absolute freedom, and naturally he would not have to care about other people's criticisms.

Of course, what we need to care about most is the opinion of the person involved, right?

So Shen Zhigui actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

This is the only way to maintain the status quo.

Although Lei Dianzhen knew that Shen Zhigui would be the kind of person who would get along with pretty girls everywhere because he was attracted by their beauty, she was confident in her sister - or her own beauty. After all, they looked similar, and she didn't think that Shen Zhigui, who was destined to live forever, would maintain a relationship with such a little girl for long. In the end, he would still choose the immortal seed as his partner, because he would get close to her because of her beautiful appearance at this time, and would inevitably become distant from her in the future because of her aging and fading beauty. Lei Dianzhen only needed to wait, but at this time she still said:

"But don't you think this is a bit cruel to her?"

"why?"

"Because she can't wait. After all, she is only a human with '50 years of life'. Her life span is destined to be far less than yours. So you can calmly maintain the status quo. When she grows old, you may not treat her the same way you do now, right? What you love is just her youthful and beautiful appearance. At least that's why you treat her so well, right? And once she loses this beauty, what will you do?"

Shen Zhigui thought about it and had no reason to refute.

It is true that he was attracted to Keqing mostly because of her beauty.

"The most unretainable thing in the world is the beauty of the mirror and the flowers and trees?"

"Zhigui, you'd better not let her hear this."

"Who is she you are talking about?"

"Of course it's your girlfriend who's walking beside you right now."

Shen Zhigui immediately said in his heart: "I've already said that she is not my girlfriend, at least not yet. But aren't you the kind of person who thinks that a moment is eternity, so you should enjoy life while you can? Why are you saying this at this time? Or do you think that it's not good for me to maintain the status quo, so you want to take it a step further?"

"I just think you have better options."

"Who?"

"Ah Ying."

Shen Zhigui was speechless for a moment, while Lei Dianzhen was still adding with great interest: "If you want to talk about appearance, Ah Ying is a great beauty no matter what, right? And she is not just a human like this little girl. She even transformed her divine body into a doll that can replace parts and will never decay. So theoretically, she will never age-"

"To be honest, I'm not a machine-lover. I'm not in heat for a doll or anything like that..."

The XP system is a bit too strange.

"Then, should I persuade her to change back?"

Lei Dian hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Shen Zhigui was silent for a moment: "I say, let's not talk about whether she will listen to you or not. Of course, even if she does, it will only prove that she is a complete sister control. Even if you ask her to fall in love with anyone, she will probably do it -"

"Of course I won't let her date anyone casually. To be exact, you are the only suitable candidate at the moment."

"Well, even if that's the case, why do you think I'm suitable for her? If she really does what you ask, it will only prove that you're the one she loves the most and she doesn't want to see you disappointed, so she's just trying to satisfy your wishes. She may not really think that she and I are compatible, but she has to do that because of your opinion. Do you accept this approach?"

"But sooner or later she will understand my good intentions."

Raiden simply said this gently.

"Your attitude will only make her think about it again after she leaves you, right?"

Shen Zhigui complained.

"So you're the one who can keep her from getting stuck in a rut again after she leaves me again."
