Genshin Impact: I don’t have much time left, can we meet again?

Chapter 37 We are strangers in this life
There is a wide plain in the middle of the hills surrounded by green trees.

Endless grape trellises extend along the plain to the foot of the mountains in the distance.

The air seemed to be filled with the sweet smell of grapes.

Ripe and plump crystal grapes tempt every business traveler and pedestrian passing by.

In the middle of the vineyard is an old manor.

Bricks and tiles eroded by time, brown roofs, and wooden walls make up the most famous winery in the Teyvat continent—

Dawn Winery.

The garden behind the winery is full of green grass.

A young woman with golden hair sat alone on the grass, holding a thick book in her hand.

The white tights perfectly outline the slim figure.

Butterflies and flying insects passed by, and she stretched out her hand to gather her high ponytail.

But she was obviously not in the state of reading. She always looked up and glanced at the green mountains and green water in the distance from time to time.

There was a rustling sound in the grass behind him.

"Qin, I know you don't like drinking wine, so I brought you 'apple stuffing' specially."

The person who spoke had long fiery red hair——

This is the signature hairstyle of the Legenfund family.

Qin spread the book on her lap, reached out to take the juice, and asked: "Diluc, is my father gone?"

Yesterday, when her father Simon Page came back from a business trip, the first thing he did was come to the winery to persuade him to meet that person again.

She didn't understand why her father didn't respect his daughter's ideas.

The two had a heated argument and ended up breaking up.

"Bishop Simon said he won't leave until you change your mind," Diluc responded.

"Lisa is like this, and my father is like this too. Why are you forcing me to see him?"

Qin's mood suddenly became unstable.

"Is it because he is the commander of the expeditionary legion?"

Everyone could tell that there was strong resentment in her tone.

Diluc didn't know how to comfort him and was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he also came to persuade Qin.

Just now, Simon Page and Lisa were taking turns teaching him how to do ideological work for Qin.

Those words and methods have been forgotten after seeing Qin's decisive attitude.
Regarding the grudge between Captain Qin and Lord Su Luo, he is one of the few insiders.

Three years ago, His Excellency Su Luo came to Mondstadt at the same time as the traveler.

At that time, Lord Su Luo, although his strength was outstanding, could not compare with the Seven Gods.

In order to achieve what seemed like an incredible goal at the time——

"Overthrowing the laws of heaven and establishing a beautiful new world." Sir Su Luo visited almost all the nobles in Mondstadt, and even went to the homes of old nobles like Lawrence several times.

He went to such great lengths just to seek Mond's support and help.

In order to prove his potential, Lord Su Luo also completed many bounty missions of the Adventurers Association to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people together with the travelers.

Eventually, together with Traveler Sora, he won the title of "Honorary Knight" of Mondstadt.

During this period, His Excellency Su Luo's strength increased by leaps and bounds, attracting the attention of Lord Fengshen.

Lord Fengshen personally met with Lord Su Luo, and the two had a private meeting that lasted several hours.

It was only later that everyone learned that Lord Fengshen had given the decision of Mondstadt to send troops to resist the laws of heaven to the Knights of the West Wind.

For this reason, Lord Su Luo went to the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind every day to have long talks with Captain Qin.

Over time, the two men, talented and beautiful, developed a spark of love——

However, they were speculating at that time that Mr. Su Luo took the initiative to approach and pursue Captain Qin, perhaps just to persuade Mond to send troops more quickly.

In other words, the relationship between Mr. Su Luo and Captain Qin may not be so pure.

Finally, His Excellency Su Luo threatened to come to Mondstadt to propose marriage once the war is won.

The suspicion that "Captain Qin was taken advantage of by Mr. Su Luo" has only been dispelled at this point.

But after the war was won, while everyone was happily waiting for a grand wedding, Lord Su Luo suddenly disappeared.

Qin searched almost all over the Teyvat continent, but could not find Su Luo's whereabouts.Disappointment turned into despair, which turned into hatred
One night, she burned the carefully prepared wedding dress and all the wedding jewelry...

Qin was like a wounded cat. She spent three years licking her wounds and trying hard to forget Mr. Su Luo.

But suddenly one day, Mr. Su Luo came back and asked to see him again.

Of course she couldn't accept it no matter what.

As a friend of Qin and someone who knows her well, Diluc understands Qin's resistance.

But the current situation is beyond everyone’s expectations——

Your Excellency Su Luo is suffering from an incurable disease and does not have much time left.

So, all the words I wanted to persuade came to my lips and finally turned into one sentence:
"Mr. Su Luo, he is going to die, alas."

When he said this, Diluc found that his mood had also become melancholy.

Although I heard Lisa and Bishop Simon say it twice, when it was my turn to say it, it was so cruel and unbelievable.

Your Excellency Su Luo, the well-deserved savior and patron saint.

Everyone thought that he would live as long as the Seven Gods and protect the continent of Teyvat forever.

However, he was one step ahead of everyone else.

The continent of Teyvat cannot bear such loss and grief!

The people of Mondstadt often describe Mr. Sulo as "the sun in the sky".

That sun is about to fall.

"Diluk..."

Qin responded indifferently: "He is lying. It's a clumsy little trick. Don't think you can fool me a second time!"

When a woman suffers the biggest deception and betrayal in her life, the trust she once had will be gone.

Where there was trust in the past, there is now distrust.

Seeing Diluc sighing silently, Qin added: "I know you are all doing this for my own good and hope that I can get back together with that guy. But three years have passed and I am no longer the innocent girl I used to be."

Last night, she had a talk with her father, Simon Page.

Her father relayed Su Luo's words to her intact -

"I'm about to die, and I don't have much time left. Please find a new husband for your daughter."

After hearing these words, she felt not only sad but also angry.

Why is a heartless man qualified to say such things?

As if she was the one who did something wrong!
"Listen... Diluc, he and I have been strangers in this life."

Determined, determined, without any hesitation.

It's obviously the result of careful consideration.

From the empty valley in the distance, the call of the cuckoo came.

In the silent forest, you can hear the breeze blowing through the green leaves at this moment.

The sentence "This life is like a stranger" seems particularly clear and powerful.

Diluc lowered his head in despair and said, "You should tell him these words face to face. Reject him personally and let him give up."

"Diluc, I have decided not to see him again." Qin bit her lip.

"You're still angry, Jean."

Diluc finally persuaded: "Today is the fifth day that Sir Su Luo stayed in Mondstadt. In two days, he will leave. This is your last chance to see each other in this life. Are you really not afraid? , will you regret it in the future?”

silence.

Suffocating silence.

After a while, Qin picked up the book on her lap.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, I won't change my mind. Now, I want to continue reading."

Jean didn't want to talk anymore.

"Your book is upside down."

"Oh……"

Diluc shook his head and returned to Chenxi Winery.
