"Old Jack?"
A hoarse female voice came, and Jack responded subconsciously.
"Uh, wife?"
"A retired deck cleaner. I'm quitting the game if I don't get a Goma. Check out the blue modifier. I'm Kamisato Ayaka's dog. I'll always love Miss Nel. You're so cute. The Starry Sky Railway is so fun..."
Immediately afterwards, the girl spoke a long string of nouns in an emotionless voice.
"Stop! Please stop using those embarrassing game nicknames! I know who you are!"
Jack just wanted to fight ten more Rock Helmet Kings, and didn't want his shameful black history to be dug up like this.
Looking through the smoke and dust, a girl with somewhat dull blonde hair came into view.
"Should I say long time no see or nice to meet you?"
"But I didn't want to see you here. I just came here to find Paimon. Never again."
After saying that, Ying turned around.
However, she waited there for several seconds.
No one rushed over to hug her and beg her not to leave.
Then she turned back, glaring at Jack.
"You didn't even stop me!"
"No, I haven't reacted yet. You should wait at least ten seconds before saying that!"
Jack only felt the image of the well-behaved Ying in his mind shatter.
This guy is so despicable! ×2
The two of them thought at the same time.
Ying put away her weapon and walked toward Jack step by step.
As if sensing something, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She stood less than a palm's distance away from Jack, her sizable chest almost pressing against him.
She looked up at Jack.
Jack lowered his head to observe closely. He could see her trembling eyelashes and catch the faint scent of alcohol on her breath.
"W-What do you want to do?"
"Think."
"???"
Ying stood on tiptoe, grabbed Jack's shoulders, leaned her head toward him, rubbed her face against him gently, and bit his ear with her pearly teeth.
Jack shuddered all over, quickly pushed her back, and held her arms.
"What the hell are you playing at? Was this the kind of relationship we had before?"
"Hehe... No."
"If you weren't like this, would you be the kind of casual woman?"
"Not really."
Ying grabbed Jack's hand and pressed it against her cheek.
"I just missed you so much. Without you, I realized how important you are to me and how strong that inexpressible emotion is... I have always thought that if I see you again, I must say those words to you."
As she spoke, Ying guided Jack's hand downward, toward her heart.
It was as if she wanted him to feel this burning emotion.
Whoosh!
Jack was so startled that he yanked his hand back.
What's with this yandere-like vibe?
I just quit the game for a few months, and this is the consequence?
No, this isn't right!
Suddenly, Jack recalled something unusual.
He took the initiative to grab Ying's hand.
"It's so hot!"
Then he placed the back of his hand on Ying's forehead.
"Hiss, what's going on? Are you sick? With your strength, can you get a fever?"
An exaggerated smile appeared on her rosy face.
"Hehe, I've been looking for Paimon for a long time and still can't find him. It seems my elemental power has been over-consumed."
No wonder there is a Rockhelm King in Mondstadt and the earth veins are disturbed in Whispering Woods.
It turns out there's a guy who's as good as a demon god releasing elemental power indiscriminately, right?
"Listen, Ying, Paimon is safe now. I met her at Starfall Lake, and I've already sent her back to the Adventurer's Guild."
"Xinglu Lake, hehe, it's a place worth remembering. I still remember that time I was so excited about running that I ran out of energy when I was swimming. It was my husband who saved me. It was also the first time you saved me."
"Are you overdrawing your elemental power or is your demonic body acting up? Do you want to go back to Mondstadt and see a doctor?"
Ying's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Ah, where's the Demonic Yin Body? Is that the Starry Sky Railway? Is that where you went after leaving Teyvat? You must have met a lot of beautiful girls again."
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do anything. Let's go back to Mondstadt first!"
Jack pulled Ying and prepared to go back.
Ying refused, and stood there with him, glancing at him: "I want you to hug me!"
"Can't you walk on your own? Where did the energy you had to chop me just now go?"
"I don't! I want you to hold me!"
Ying's behavior of acting coquettishly was a bit unfair.
In addition to the guilt of switching to the Starry Sky Railway, Jack compromised.
"Let's make a deal first. I'll carry you to the gate of Mondstadt. Once inside, you'll have to walk on your own. Otherwise, it'll be too boring."
"Yeah~"
Ying hugged Jack's neck and showed a sweet girlish smile.
It was at this time that she looked a lot more normal, like a little girl in love.
Recalling Ying's background setting.
Her relatives are missing, and she travels around the world, encountering major events wherever she goes. Paimon is almost useless, and the seemingly peaceful world in the game is actually full of dangers. She has to go through several life-and-death crises along the way, and all the pressure of adventure falls on her.
In the past, there might have been a "player" named Jack to provide her with logistical support.
And after he left, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing Ying's body and mind.
This must have been done by Mi Huyou!
The more sympathy Jack had for Ying, the more he hated the mastermind behind all this.
You like to throw knives, right? Sooner or later, you will kill these bastards.
"Husband, can I call you that from now on?"
"I used to use the name Lao Gong, which sounds like a pun, but people who don't know the truth might misunderstand it, so I'd better change it."
"I'm not talking about the Gong in Jack~"
Ying's sweet answer made Jack pause for a moment.
Mom, she is so good!
Shaking his head to get rid of the strange image, Jack suggested.
"Just call me Keqing like Keqing and the others."
"Ah Qing?"
Ying recited these two words, tilted her head, and the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared.
Oops! I let it slip!
Ying's emotions are extremely unstable right now. If she knew that she and Keqing had done everything they should and shouldn't have done, she would probably be close to becoming a demonic body.
"Honey, can you tell me what's going on with Keqing? Could it be that you were with Keqing in Liyue during the months you were missing? What on earth were you doing that made me search the whole world for you and you didn't even reply to my messages?"
"This...it's a bit complicated, but I haven't been in Teyvat in the past few months, and I only met Keqing recently."
Ying was silent.
On one side, there are sisters who have a good relationship.
On one side is the object of one's affection.
Now the two of them have been together behind her back for a month, and she has no idea.
This sudden feeling of betrayal made her feel so wronged that she wanted to throw herself into the abyss and destroy the world.
"Ying, are you okay?"
But the young man gave her a caring and gentle look.
That tenderness made Ying want to greedily possess it forever.
If that's the case, don't blame me for resorting to unscrupulous means!!
Ying regained her sanity briefly, looked through Jack's face at someone hiding behind the tree, crossed her hands, tightened her grip around Jack's neck, and attacked him.
Uh-huh~
She was unbridled and gave her all, as if she wanted to integrate everything she had into the other person, and stepped into the cage called love without hesitation.
The two people's auras intertwined.
Jack went from resisting at the beginning, to gradually weakening his strength, to unconsciously responding, and finally to gradually losing himself.
This kiss made Qingfeng shy.
...
Behind a big tree.
Keqing covered her mouth and nose and tried not to make any sound.
She just felt the panting sound coming from behind was so harsh.
She couldn't suppress a low sob.
Keqing regretted that she shouldn't have been so smart and followed Jack quietly.
But she was even more reluctant to leave in disgrace.
So she could only squat on the ground, hug her knees, and bury her head in it.
It seems that this can block out all the noise in the world.
