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

Chapter 38

"If Mr. Soulo dies, I will close Dawn Winery."

Before Diluc left, he left behind a few words.

Not asking for Jean's opinion, but making a statement.

Having seen how stubborn Qin was, he really had no choice but to use this as a blackmail.

Hearing this, Qin remained indifferent——

But her slender fingers were deeply embedded in the book, and her nails broke.

"I will close the morning wine"——

"I will shut down the Knights of the West Wind..."

Diluc's unintentional words awakened old memories in her heart.

On the sunny grass, Qin hugged her knees and suddenly realized that after learning about Su Luo's death, no matter how indifferent she seemed on the surface, her heart had already been filled with sadness.

Everything in the past is like the thick fallen leaves blown by the wind in the forest, and dusty memories keep emerging.

……

"Su Luo, if you die, I will shut down the Knights of the West Wind."

Three years ago, when Su Luo was about to leave Mondstadt and embark on the journey at night, she and Su Luo sat together and watched the stars.

She gently leaned her head on Su Luo's shoulder and confided her sorrow of separation.

"The Knights of the West Wind don't belong to you alone. How can you shut them down just as you say? Don't be so willful."

She liked this man's voice and fell in love with him from the first time they met.

She liked this man's deep eyes, and she saw a blue sea in them.

She also liked the smell of this man, it was light and mellow, like the smell of sunshine, which made her addicted.

She is obsessed with everything about this man——

His confidence, his optimism, his ambition, and the sense of security he brings.

As long as you stay with him for a moment, you can forget the worries and pressure at work.

Listening to the man's answer, she smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, as long as you promise me to come back safely, I will listen to you."

"Yeah..." the man agreed.

Hearing the man's answer, she smiled contentedly.

As long as this man is by her side, even if she quarrels with her father, even if the dispute reaches the point where father and daughter want to break off their relationship, even if the entire West Wind Church opposes sending troops, she will still resolutely choose to send troops.

She believes in her man.

I believe in the "wonderful world" that the man described when he gave a speech at the Knights headquarters in front of all the team members.

In the wonderful world of the future, they will go to the palace of marriage.

She had even thought about the wedding venue in advance.

Not in the Cathedral of the West Wind, but under the great oak tree in the Land of the Winds.

They will have their own child, and if it is a girl, they will name it "Su Qin".

At that time, she was full of beautiful fantasies and longings for everything in the future.

In the following months, this man traveled throughout the Seven Kingdoms and reached an agreement with the Seven Gods to resist the laws of heaven.

She didn't know how the man did it, and how much suffering he suffered. In short, it was absolutely incredible to be able to unite the seven countries of the Teyvat continent.

My man is really amazing——

At that time, she thought so.

During this period, she would often write letters.

At first, men would reply in time, but gradually, the number of times men replied became less and less.

Even the content of the reply was reduced to a few words.

"I'm fine, don't worry", "I'll come back when I have time"——

In the end, the reply was just this simple sentence.

Perfunctory.

At that time, she suspected that the man had changed his mind, and coupled with the longing in her heart, she decided to go to the Winter Kingdom to find the man in person.

However, the man has already set foot on Sky Island.

The battle to decide the fate of Teyvat begins here.

……

"Frontline battle report, Commander Su Luo led one hundred thousand troops to attack an enemy fortress."

"Frontline battle report, Commander Su Luo went deep into the army alone, and his life and death are unknown." "Front line battle report, the expeditionary legion lost contact with Commander Su Luo."

"Frontline battle report, a fierce battle broke out in the Sky Island Fortress, and the outcome is unknown."

"Frontline battle report, Commander Su Luo conquered Sky Island Fortress and won a great victory."

"Frontline battle report, Commander Su Luo began to attack the second target..."

During that time, the first thing she did when she walked into the office every morning was to read battle reports from the front, especially those about men.

Sometimes, when she sees the news that a man has lost contact, she will have insomnia all night long.

For this reason, she prays to the man every day.

At night in the West Wind Cathedral, every time Barbara worked overtime until late at night, she would always be seen praying alone.

Finally, the war is over.

Battle reports came from the front line, and the Seven Kingdoms Expeditionary Corps had won.

That day, the entire headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind was singing and dancing, everyone was like crazy.

The crowd was reveling, drinking and celebrating.

Lisa, who never danced in front of others, made an exception and danced in front of everyone, which attracted enthusiastic applause and whistles from the brothers of the Knights.

The atmosphere reached its climax when Kaia went out and bought a huge cake and brought it back on a flatbed truck.

But she was glum and forced a smile.

Because that man didn't come back to her as promised.

At first, news came from all sides that men were cleaning up the remaining enemies.

Later, there was news that the man was seriously injured on the Sky Island battlefield.

After hearing the news, she went to Sky Island desperately.

However, after searching the entire battlefield, there was no trace of the man.

Even the Seven Gods don't know his whereabouts.

She waited another year.

During this period, there was a trip outside Mondstadt every day.

It was said to be an inspection to the outside world, but in fact it was to look forward to the man's return.

If the man comes back, he can be the first to see her on the path outside the city.

And so another year passed.

That man seemed to have never existed and completely evaporated from the world.

The God of Wind, God of Ice, God of Grass, God of Thunder, etc., all searched their respective territories, but none of them found the whereabouts of the man.

And every evening, she would go outside the city and wait.

The inaccessible forest path became a new path after years of trampling on it.

More and more people choose to leave the city from there.

In the spring of the third year, she finally despaired.

It doesn't matter whether the man died in battle or was hiding somewhere.

What matters is that the man broke his promise.

Lord Fengshen once fell into danger on the battlefield, and the man risked his own life to save him.

Afterwards, Lord Fengshen praised the man for his promise.

But this man who "promised a thousand pieces of gold" broke his promise in the end.

All the love for that man finally turned into hate.

If you follow the words of Emperor Liyueyan:

"The contract is made, and those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks." As a standard of punishment, men should eat all the rocks in Mondstadt!
The breeze blowing from the valley ruffled the hair on the temples.

Qin, immersed in memories, returned to reality with difficulty.

"Huh, time is running out? It's another deceptive trick. I've been deceived once, how can I be fooled again!"

She said this in her heart.

It's understandable that my father, Lisa, and Diluc were afraid of that man's position as commander of the coalition, so they came to say good things.

But she herself was not afraid at all.

Even if that man comes in person, she will never forgive him.
