Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Many knights from the Knights Order looked at her strangely.

"Do you think it's true?" Qin asked rhetorically.

He hurriedly replied, "Of course I believe in Senior Qin."

Qin's expression relaxed slightly. She didn't care much about the doubts of those outside. As long as she adhered to her chivalry and did what she should do and what was right, that was enough.

However, if even close juniors start to doubt you, then there's a problem.

But before Qin could truly breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the other person say, "But..."

After hesitating for a while, the young female knight whispered, "Many people say that."

Hearing these words and seeing the other person's hesitant and heartbroken expression, as if saying "I don't want to believe it, but...", Qin felt as if her mind had been struck by lightning, and her brain went completely blank.

The girl hurriedly explained, "It's not that I didn't want to believe Senior Qin; I even argued with them and went to the scene to ask around, but..."

The young female knight spoke softer and softer, her voice growing more and more aggrieved: "So I want to ask you, is this really true?"

Looking at the younger generation's pitiful appearance, unwilling to believe yet forced to, their dreams shattered.

Qin suddenly felt a feeling called fear.

this moment.

She knew she could no longer escape what she had been avoiding all this time, and that was...

Lin Jiu'an was truly wronged in his previous life!

The experiences of Lin Jiu'an in his previous life.

How similar it was to what he had experienced after suddenly dealing with those merchants.

Especially the way her junior was questioning her at this moment reminded Qin of her past life...

It's in this office.

It was late at night.

Lin Jiu'an, as usual, brought her a pizza he had just bought from the "Cat's Tail" tavern.

But she didn't sit down with him to eat pizza that day.

Instead, he voiced doubts that were infinitely more excessive than those of his more reserved junior.

They questioned him about whether those things were true, asked him why he did them, and asked him what had turned him into that person.

Qin still remembers the way Lin Jiu'an's smile gradually faded, and how he looked at her expressionlessly.

At the time, she was angry and felt that she had been exposed and was too lazy to pretend anymore.

but now.

Qin fully understood how he felt at that time.

No.

He was probably a hundred or a thousand times more in pain back then than he is now.

What do you think I did all this for?

'Why would I waste my time arguing with them to the death?'

'Wouldn't it be better to spend that time colluding with them, living in a country villa, and enjoying the life of the wealthy?'

'If it weren't for you...'

"For my sake." Qin gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He clearly likes me so much.

Everything he did was clearly for his own benefit.

That boy who couldn't suppress the smile when praised, that boy who felt embarrassed when questioned.

That boy who cared most about how others perceived him.

But it was for her.

Even when questioned and ridiculed by so many people, he didn't care.

She also has Lisa, she also has Yura, she grew up in Mondstadt, and has many elders, friends and backers who grew up with her and are willing to believe in her.

But for him, there was only her.

But just as he was excitedly looking forward to enjoying a rare day of rest with her, as usual, and the only time he could enjoy himself without having to endure other people's hostility and slander.

Yet he was doubted and betrayed by the person he trusted most...

Listen to that painful sound.

The young knight looked up in alarm, only to find that Qin's beautiful eyes were already filled with tears, and she was pressing her hand painfully to her heart.

"Senior Qin, I..."

"I'm fine, I just want to be alone. You can go out now."

"Well, I'll be going now."

After the younger generation left, Qin could no longer hold back, her hands clenched into fists, her fingertips digging into her palms.

Regret, pain, and despair kept accumulating in my heart.

"For me."

Tears could no longer be held back and streamed down her smooth chin onto the table.

'Tap tap.'

There was another gentle knock on the door.

Qin wiped away her tears, trying hard not to cry. It took her more than half a minute to finally suppress the urge to cry.

"Why are you crying? There's still a chance."

fortunately.

He's still in Mondstadt, still by my side.

Everyone gets a second chance at life, and so does he and I...

"what happened?"

"Here's a pizza for you."

"Pizza?" Hearing that voice that didn't belong to him, Qin asked instinctively, "Where's the pizza delivery guy?"

"he's gone."

The person at the door paused for a moment, seemingly thinking that Qin might be interested, or perhaps simply wanting to say a few more words to her, before saying, "Oh, by the way, he also asked me to pass on a message to Lady Lisa."

"They said, 'He's going to Liyue tonight, and he won't be delivering pizzas anymore.'"

'Snap!'

The pen in Qin's hand fell to the ground.

Chapter Nineteen: Flames

The knight outside the door only heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then it seemed a bit chaotic.

Before I could react, the door was pushed open, and in a moment of stunned silence, all I could see was Qin rushing out the door.

A few seconds later, the library door opened.

Lisa walked out of the library and looked at the empty office of the group leader behind the open door.

"Where's the zither?"

"I do not know either."

The knight said blankly, "Commander Qin just asked me about the pizza delivery guy, and I told him what he wanted me to tell you, and then she suddenly rushed out."

"In response?"

The knight relayed Lin Jiu'an's words again.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly realized that Lisa had also disappeared.

Only the slightly ajar door hinted at their departure.

······

"Cat's Tail" Tavern.

When Lisa arrived at the tavern entrance as fast as she could.

Then I saw Qin walk out, looking lost and dejected.

The two exchanged a glance. Seeing Lisa's unusually anxious appearance, covered in sweat, Qin seemed to realize something, but neither of them asked.

"What about others?"

Although Lisa already knew the ending from Qin's distraught appearance, she still couldn't help but ask.

Qin didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "You knew all along?"

Lisa knew she was referring to the fact that Lin Jiu'an had also been reborn with memories of his past life; their actions at this moment had already explained everything.

About two weeks ago.

"why did not you tell me?"

Hearing the unusual loss of composure in Qin's voice, Lisa laughed.

What's the point of telling you?

Lin Jiu'an's departure seemed to have thoroughly aroused the dissatisfaction of this best friend who was even closer than her own sister.

Lisa was truly panicked at this moment.

Even though a month of effort had been in vain, she still held onto hope, because Lin Jiu'an hadn't left, which meant she still had a chance.

But Lin Jiu'an left.

Let alone Teyvat, Liyue Harbor alone has a population of hundreds of thousands.

Given his obvious reluctance to meet them, she didn't know if she would ever see him again in her life.

Why didn't you tell me?!

"Why should I tell you?"

Lisa couldn't help but say, "I already let you have your way once in my past life. Such a good man was right in front of you, and you didn't cherish such a good opportunity. Why should I let you have your way again?!"

Qin looked at her blankly.

She never expected Lisa to talk to her like that.

Lisa was much calmer after saying it aloud; she had imagined this 'breakup' scene many times in her previous life.

As long as she and Lin Jiu'an are together, there will inevitably be a rift between them. However, in her previous life, she never dared to put it into practice. But in this life, with Lin Jiu'an's departure, which is likely to be a final farewell, she has lost her mind and can no longer care about such things.

"Besides, what good would it do me to tell you?"

Do you really think there's still a chance for you two?

"Stop talking!" Qin said painfully.

Lisa continued, "Given Lin Jiu'an's attitude of treating you like a stranger, do you think you still have a chance?"

"Enough!" Qin shouted in alarm.

Lisa revealed her deepest fear.

Lin Jiu'an inherited her memories from her previous life, so she could accept it if Lin Jiu'an showed hatred towards her.

As long as he shows emotion, it means he still cares about her. If she sincerely apologizes and tries to win him back, they still have a great chance.

But even during that brief encounter, the other person treated her like a complete stranger, which is what scares her the most now.

Lisa calmed down as well. The two were silent for a while, then walked back the way they came. After walking for a while, they started walking side by side as usual.

"Let's deal with the problems at hand first," Lisa said softly.

Qin hummed in agreement.

Already entangled in numerous troubles, it's unrealistic for me to search for someone in the vast city of Mondstadt who may or may not have left.
