Genshin Impact: I'm just a mortal

Night fell.

Everyone had already gone to rest. Xian Yun left her room and came to the door of Yu Xie's room.

She knocked on the door.

"Yu Xie, it's me. Are you asleep?"

After a short moment, the door opened.

"Not yet. What's up?" Yu Xie stood behind the door.

Xian Yun followed Yu Xie into the room and sat down at the desk. She took a moment to collect her thoughts.

Alright, although she had acted magnanimous during the day, she couldn't help but feel concerned and curious. She wanted to know what Yu Xie had discussed with that Fatui Harbinger.

After all... that Harbinger's looks were not insignificant, and her figure was quite mature... But most importantly, the way that Harbinger looked at Yu Xie was different.

"Yu Xie, um… I…" Xian Yun hesitated, "I'm definitely not overthinking things, I just... today..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't quite say them.

Xian Yun, what's wrong with you? You're an immortal! Xian Yun urged herself in her mind.

"I think I might have known Rosalyne before," Yu Xie seemed to understand what Xian Yun was trying to say and spoke first. "It's probably from a past life, but I don't remember those things anymore."

"I see..." Xian Yun fell silent for a moment. "So, how do you feel about her now?"

The question left Yu Xie momentarily speechless.

What he felt most strongly about Rosalyne was a sense of unresolved regret. Clearly, she could have lived a normal life as an ordinary girl, but disaster destroyed her life, changed everything about her, and even altered her personality, leading to all the events that followed.

But now… it's not over yet. There's still a chance to make things right.

And he, it seems, had become the key to Rosalyne's redemption.

Xian Yun, noticing that Yu Xie had been silent for a while, suddenly felt uneasy.

She thought to herself, "Oh no, Yu Xie can't possibly be attracted to Rosalyne's looks and figure, can he?"

Looks like she'd have to be more proactive if she wanted to capture Yu Xie's heart.

But… how should she be proactive?

Lost in thought, Xian Yun stood up from her chair and walked up to Yu Xie.

"Yu Xie?"

"Oh." Yu Xie came back to his senses. "Rosalyne's past is indeed tragic, but as for how I feel… well, to me, this is the first time I've met her. I just feel that I can help her and prevent some of the regrets from her past."

"Is that so…" Xian Yun felt a huge sense of relief inside.

She thought to herself, "Yu Xie really isn't that shallow. He's not the type to be mesmerized by Rosalyne's mature figure."

Besides, what's so special about a figure? Everyone has one.

Thinking this, Xian Yun unconsciously puffed out her chest a little.

Yu Xie noticed this subtle movement.

And Xian Yun, realizing that he had seen it, immediately blushed and looked away.

Yu Xie couldn't help but smile slightly.

This side of Xian Yun was strangely endearing.

Even Xian Yun, with her mature demeanor, had a side to her that seemed like a little girl in front of him, much like an inexperienced girl who might shyly show a vulnerable expression.

As the warmth on her face increased, Xian Yun felt a slight discomfort.

In this quiet moment of night, with only herself and Yu Xie in the room, the heat seemed even more unabashed.

"It... it feels a little warm."

"Does it? I think it's fine. I'll open a window." Yu Xie stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. The cool night breeze rushed into the room.

The breeze helped a little, but Xian Yun still felt like the warmth on her face wasn't going away.

Thinking back on her actions just now, Xian Yun felt more and more like she had lost the calmness one might expect from a celestial being.

Was she really comparing herself to Rosalyne in terms of size? Why would she have such a strange thought?

But then again, she'd heard that guys like them bigger, so was Yu Xie the same way?

Xian Yun couldn't help but lower her gaze, glancing at herself.

Overall, she was somewhat satisfied. At least, compared to Ge Chen, she probably had a slight advantage, right?

"I think I'll go rest now. You should get some rest too. Don't stay up too late; it's not good for your health." Xian Yun hesitated for a moment before saying this.

Without waiting for Yu Xie to respond, she turned and left the room.

Yu Xie sat at the table, watching her leave, silently smiling.

Much of the time, Xian Yun didn't seem like the legendary Adeptus in front of him, but it was this side of her that made him find her even more endearing.

The room fell silent as Yu Xie was about to settle down for the night. However, just then, footsteps sounded outside the door once again.

A knock followed.

Knock knock knock—

"Yu Xie, it's me. Are you asleep?" Ge Chen's voice called out.

Yu Xie paused for a moment, then went over to open the door.

"Ge Chen, what brings you here too?"

"too?" Ge Chen was momentarily stunned, as if understanding something. She gave a wry smile. "Seems like me and Xian Yun really are quite in sync."

Entering the room, the two of them sat down at the table.

"Yu Xie, I'll be straightforward with you." Ge Chen took a deep breath. "Today… well…"

The first part of her sentence came out smoothly, but when it came to the second half, she began to hesitate and stutter.

It seemed she still wasn't sure how to put it into words.

Yu Xie smiled wryly, and ended up telling Ge Chen about his situation with Rosalyne once again.

But to be honest, Yu Xie wasn't sure how to handle things at this point.

Xian Yun's feelings for him were undeniable, and although Ge Chen didn't make her feelings as obvious, Yu Xie could tell, and there was also...

And now, there was Rosalyne to consider as well...

It felt like all the debts he had accumulated in the past were catching up with him in this lifetime. How could he ever repay them?

What was he supposed to do now? He had never been in such a situation before.

After chatting for a while longer, Ge Chen finally left to rest.

Yu Xie thought he would finally get some peace, but before long, Bonanus arrived, and it still wasn't over...

.....

The trip to Dihua Marsh came to an end.

In a few days, it would be the annual Liyue "Rite of Descension."

Tianquan Star Ning Guang was busy with all the preparations for the event.

Unlike in previous years, this time Ning Guang had a new idea.

After returning to Liyue Harbor, Yu Xie received an invitation from Ning Guang—"Please come to Jade Chamber, there are important matters to discuss."

Receiving an invitation from Ning Guang to ascend Jade Chamber was considered an honor by many people in Liyue, especially the merchants.

When Yu Xie received the invitation from the Millelith in front of a large crowd, many people immediately gasped in surprise.

Some merchants even rushed over to flatter Yu Xie.

"Mr. Yu, may I ask, are you business partners with Lady Ning Guang?"

"Mr. Yu, when you go to Jade Chamber, would it be possible for me to accompany you?"

"Mr. Yu, could I take a look at your invitation?"

The questions were endless and varied.

Yu Xie had no way to respond to all of them, so he simply maintained a polite smile and left the public scene.

As he was leaving, he overheard many discussions.

"This Mr. Yu seems like just an ordinary adventurer. Could it be that Lady Ning Guang has taken a liking to him?"

"How many rich young masters have spent fortunes just to get a smile from Lady Ning Guang, yet she always ignores them. If that's the case, then Mr. Yu... How many good deeds must he have done in his past life to deserve this..."
