"Oh..." Xing sighed, then lay down again, staring at the ceiling of the tent in a daze.

Rosalia naturally heard Xing's sigh, and also felt that Xing seemed to be a little depressed at the moment.

After weighing the pros and cons, she turned around and looked at Xing.

"what happened?"

“…” Xing pursed her lips, not knowing how to tell Rosalia.

"Homesick... No, you miss your family?" When Rosalia saw Xing's look, the throbbing in her heart subsided, and instead she felt a complex emotion.

Seeing Xing like this, it was hard for her to be happy.

"How do you know?" Xingye turned sideways and looked at Rosalia face to face.

“It’s easy to tell.”

"Yeah……"

Chapter 27 Broken Promise

Xing looked at Rosalia's cheek so close to him and was stunned for a moment.

"I don't have any family, but I have seen a lot of separation and death." Rosalia didn't dare to look Xing in the eye. She looked away. "The expressions of those people are very similar to yours now."

Rosalia was a little distressed. She had never comforted anyone before. Even when she saw people like this in the past, she would say a few cold words in their ear to make them face reality.

But when facing Xing, she can't do it the same way as before.

"If you want, you can tell me about your past." Rosalia hesitated for a moment, then looked into Xing's pupils and said.

She thought it might be better to speak it out... Of course, this was also for intelligence. She wanted to gather intelligence while Xing was not on guard.

"Well, there's actually nothing to hide. I don't want to say more because I think most people won't believe it." Xing thought about it and felt that it would be nice to chat before going to bed at night.

“I’m not actually from this world.”

"Hmm..." Rosalia was not surprised at all when she heard this.

That's right, how could there be a girl as perfect as Xing in this world?

Xing spoke slowly, and Rosalia listened carefully.

Even though what Xing said was a little ahead of her time, Rosalia didn't think Xing was lying.

"Hey~ It's actually nothing. I miss them, but I will definitely find them in the future." Xing smiled with some relief, then lay down again.

She could see the confusion in Rosalia's expression, as if she wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to start.

Fortunately, she is not a real emo, so she quickly got over this little disappointment.

And just like she said just now, she believed that they would meet again in the future.

Although there is no substantial evidence, she is at least someone who can accommodate a star core.

She felt that she should be considered an immortal to some extent.

There is plenty of time, as long as you don't give up, there is always a chance to find a way back.

"Um……"

After hesitating for a while, Rosalia turned around again and stopped looking at the stars.

The two fell into silence.

After a while, Rosalia heard Xing's soft and regular breathing.

She seemed to have fallen asleep.

But Rosalia was not sleepy at all now. On the contrary, as Xing gradually fell asleep, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

After hesitating for a long time, she slowly turned around again.

Xing was facing her, and he could see her peaceful sleeping face at once.

Rosalia slowly reached out her hand towards Xing, but stopped herself just before she touched her.

"What a witch." Rosalia stared at Xing for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

Putting her hands down, she slowly stood up, not planning to stay in the tent any longer.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of joke will happen.

She left carefully without making any sound.

……

Early the next morning.

"Miss Xing, did you sleep well last night?" Yuxia came to Xing and asked with concern.

"It's okay. It's much more comfortable than sleeping on the grass." Xing stretched.

And this tent...how should I put it, after she fell asleep yesterday, she actually felt a sense of softness and warmth inexplicably.

Maybe it was her illusion?

"Speaking of which, where is Rosalia?" Xing asked with some confusion.

When she woke up this morning, she didn't see Rosalia.

"Sister Rosalia left early in the morning. It seemed like something important happened." Yuxia explained.

"She also asked me to apologize to you. It should be something about the church."

"Is that so..." Xing sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful.

I agreed with Rosalia yesterday that we would go back together, but I didn't expect that I would have to travel alone today.

"There's no time to lose. It's time for me to set off." Xing stretched his body a little and said to Yuxia.

"Well... please be careful on your journey." Yuxia's tone sounded a little reluctant, but she had no reason to keep Xing here any longer.

Anyway, I roughly know that Xing is currently in Mondstadt, so I think we should have a chance to meet again in the future.

----------------------

In Mondstadt, everyone's idol, Miss Barbara, was frowning. Even after Rosalia came back, her sorrow was not much relieved.

However, seeing that Rosalia was in a bad mood, Barbara suppressed her annoyance and spoke to comfort her:

"Ms. Rosaria, don't worry too much. The Sky Harp will definitely be found."

"Oh." Rosalia responded coldly.

She was inspecting the theft scene, but it was clear that she didn't care much about the Sky Harp.

The reason why she was in a bad mood was not because of this theft.

And what happened was that after she walked out of the tent this morning, she happened to meet a knight who came to see her.

The guy said something happened in the church and he must let her go back.

It looked very urgent. The knight must have taken a car first and then ran all the way here, otherwise he wouldn't be so tired.

As a result, Rosalia had to return to Mond first, and the agreement with Xing was ultimately not fulfilled successfully.

"Didn't you see the criminal yesterday?" Rosalia straightened up and asked the two knights standing next to her.

"Well, it was too dark. We only roughly saw that the prisoners were one yellow and one green..." The two knights looked at each other and then gave unsatisfactory answers.

"One yellow and one green?" Rosalia raised her eyebrows.

There weren't many people in Mondstadt with these color characteristics, and she could think of two immediately.

One was the suspicious bard who had appeared in Mondstadt at some unknown time. She had been staring at him for quite a while.

The other is Ying, a traveler who came from afar with Xing.

But these two people...

Rosalia looked down at the scene again, at the stand where the Sky Harp was placed.

Those two people did not match the elemental traces left at the scene.

If she remembered correctly, those two should be users of the wind element, but there were remnants of the thunder element at the scene.

Moreover, this remnant was very familiar to her.

"The traces at the scene look very much like those of the Fatui's Thunder Warlock." Rosalia pinched her chin and said slowly.

"Ah? You mean the criminals are Fatui?!" Barbara covered her mouth in surprise.

The other two knights reacted much less. They had a bad impression of the Fatui to begin with, so it was not surprising that they would do such a thing.

"The two people we saw last night..."

"Those two people might be related to the Fatui, or they might have attempted theft and were intercepted by the Fatui." Rosalia made her judgment.

"This matter is not that simple. Go report it to Captain Qin and let her make the decision."

Chapter 28: See you in the tavern tonight

The two knights left, and Rosalia and Barbara naturally had no intention of staying in this secret room.

"What's wrong?" Walking upstairs to the church, Rosalia glanced at Barbara, who was obviously absent-minded.

"Nothing... I'm just a little worried about my sister, Captain Qin." Barbara said listlessly and almost said the wrong address.

Qin has been under a lot of pressure recently because of the dragon disaster, and she has seen it all.

At this point, the Fatui continued to put pressure on Jyn to hand over the defense of Mondstadt to Solstice.

Now there was the incident of the theft of the Sky Harp. If this matter became known to the whole city, she couldn't even imagine how serious the accusations would be that the Harp would face.

After all, the Knights were responsible for protecting the Sky Harp, and this theft was ultimately due to the Knights' negligence.

"Oh." Rosalia nodded lightly.

She had heard a little about the relationship between Barbara and Captain Qin.

But she didn't think these little things would affect Qin.

"Sometimes I think your sister is a little too serious. Some small things should be left to others." Rosalia took out her pipe from somewhere and tried to light it.

"Ms. Rosalia! Please don't smoke in the church!" Barbara immediately stopped Rosalia angrily.

"Huh? Oh, sorry." Rosalia gave her a puzzled look, and then seemed to realize that she was still inside the church.

She apologized insincerely, but she took the pipe back anyway.

"Where has Miss Rosalia been recently? She didn't attend the last ceremony..." Barbara asked with some exhaustion.

She felt that if Rosalia had been here yesterday, the Sky Harp would never have been stolen.

Although Rosalia insists on her own way and doesn't listen to advice, she is a complete mess when it comes to being a nun.

But it is undeniable that she is very strong, and her fighting ability is definitely not inferior to that of several high-ranking members of the Knights Templar.

"Recently..." Rosalia's mind flashed with Xing's figure, but she couldn't tell Barbara for the moment.

"I have some personal matters recently."

"Really?" Barbara looked at Rosalia suspiciously. She obviously didn't believe what she said.

Barbara has been worried about Rosalia since the first day she met her. She always follows Rosalia and urges her to complete her daily work as a nun.

Therefore, she was able to detect some of Rosalia's lies.

"Really, even if I don't deal with these personal matters, I won't attend any ceremony." Rosalia nodded, and then said bluntly.

Ceremonies are really too troublesome. You have to remain serious throughout the whole process and you can't move.

She would rather find a place to sleep.

"That's it, I'm leaving first."

"Eh? Wait, wait a minute..." Barbara wanted to say something else, but Rosalia didn't mean to stop.
