This is the man who, when hungry and cold, would give himself even if he only had one piece of bread, without hesitation, and worried that he might choke.
This man accompanied her day after day as she traveled through the lands of seven countries.
So...
Why did I get reborn back to the very beginning of my journey?
Ying didn't want to think about this kind of problem.
She just knows.
The man she thought she would never see again, the man who had taken such good care of her throughout the long journey, who had always been considerate of her, and who had ultimately chosen to die for her sake, was actually still alive!
We only learn to cherish what we have when we lose it.
Ying wanted to hug him without hesitation, but she quickly realized that it was inappropriate.
Given Lin Jiu'an's cautious nature.
If you suddenly hug him excitedly before you even know each other, it might make him wary.
in contrast.
When Ying heard Paimon say, "Wake her up," she suddenly had a bold idea.
Should I pretend to have drowned and passed out?
If Lin Jiu'an can't wake me up for a while, he'll probably give me artificial respiration to save me, right?
Paimon, you're such a good sister to me!
I promise.
I will definitely not order emergency food for you for at least three days.
Just as Ying was trying hard to suppress the smile on her lips, hoping that Lin Jiu'an would awaken her like a prince in a fairy tale.
"Huh? Huh?! Why did you leave?"
Hearing Paimon's calls and the receding footsteps, Ying's joy vanished, leaving her utterly bewildered.
This plot is wrong?
······
Lin Jiu'an didn't stop until he reached a pool in the forest.
He looked down at his reflection in the lake.
He rubbed his face with a wry smile.
"Yeah, I'm so ordinary-looking, how could they possibly like me?"
Her black, tousled hair fell loosely, and she always seemed to have a smile on her face.
With fair skin and soft features, he's the kind of guy who's increasingly pleasing to the eye, giving off a gentle and sunny vibe.
Strictly speaking, Lin Jiu'an could also be considered a handsome young man.
However, he certainly can't compare to top-tier handsome guys like Diluc, Xiao, and Zhongli.
I've gotten used to them.
How could they possibly look up to me?
Lin Jiu'an does not hate anyone.
It comes down to it.
All his sacrifices in his past life were done voluntarily.
All the effort you put into pursuing a girl is expected. You can't resent her for not responding to your efforts just because she ultimately rejected you. What kind of logic is that?
If you have anything to blame, it's that you haven't met the woman who's willing to go the other way with you.
Lin Jiu'an simply didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.
Although he knew they didn't like him and understood that he and they definitely couldn't be together if they used methods that normal people could accept, Lin Jiu'an still felt sad when he saw them laughing and talking with other men and that they would marry other men in the future.
Just out of sight, out of mind.
It also prevents me from softening and helping them when I see them in trouble.
all in all.
He is too tired.
Lin Jiu'an no longer wanted to care about the destruction of the world, nor did he want to interfere in the difficulties they might encounter. He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful life until then.
"Go to Mondstadt first, work to earn some travel expenses, and then settle down in Liyue once you've saved enough money."
Just as Lin Jiu'an had made up his mind and was about to set off, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"found it!"
First came Paimon's excited voice.
Lin Jiu'an turned around and saw Ying and Paimeng running up to him.
Ying wasn't very tall; she was a full head shorter than him, which, by modern standards, would be considered the cutest height difference.
Looking up at Lin Jiu'an's familiar face and expression, Ying Qiang suppressed her excitement. She knew that this boy, despite his gentle appearance, was extremely sensitive and would notice if she showed any unusual behavior.
Why did you suddenly run away?
Fortunately, with Paimon as her mouth double, Ying doesn't have to worry about revealing her emotional excitement when she speaks; she can just nod along.
"Although it is impolite to say this, I do not believe you."
“Hey, we’re not bad people!” Paimon said, hands on his hips.
Ying nodded and hummed in agreement.
Although Lin Jiu'an's behavior was different from that in her previous life, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
She knew that Lin Jiu'an came from a strange world where everyone was an ordinary person. It was normal for someone like him to feel insecure when he suddenly arrived in a forest in another world, encountered a flying emergency food and a petite and cute blonde girl.
"Besides, it's too dangerous for you to walk alone in such a big forest!"
Ying nodded in agreement.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she immediately corrected the gentle smile that was meant to reassure Lin Jiu'an.
Hey hey hey.
She remembers it very clearly.
At the beginning, Lin Jiu'an was an innocent and adorable young man who would blush if teased even slightly!
It's a few days' journey to Mondstadt from here.
During this time, she could have easily made Lin Jiu'an fall in love with her before he met Qin, simply by relying on her cuteness!
At that time, hmph, that mere leader of the "Perky Butt" troupe will be nothing special.
Although Qin would definitely reject Lin Jiu'an according to normal circumstances, she would never do something like letting her man pursue another woman and then taking advantage of his vulnerability after being rejected.
Now that we have the chance to start over.
I, Ying, am the cutest girl in the world, and I'll eat as much as I can!
"The Innocent Boy and the Cute Girl's Outdoor Romance.avi"
Tell me how I should lose! (Hands on hips!)
······
PS1: When entering Mondstadt, Paimon said, "Finally, I don't have to camp in the wilderness anymore."
PS2: Please vote for this post and add it to your favorites.
Chapter Three: Ying: I've found you!
Thank you for your kindness.
"But I'm sorry, I still want to walk alone."
Paimon's point is valid.
From both a common sense and safety perspective, I should go with them.
It's not too late to part ways in Mondstadt.
But in Lin Jiu'an's view, things only happen zero times or countless times.
Since he had decided to have no further involvement with them, he didn't want to have any involvement with them whatsoever.
So after the rejection.
Even knowing this might be the last time he saw her, Lin Jiu'an didn't look at Ying even once more, and resolutely turned and left.
Ying's smile froze on her face after being rejected.
Only after Lin Jiu'an's figure completely disappeared did she come to her senses in a daze, still not understanding what had just happened.
Why did he reject me?
This isn't normal, is it?
"What should we do next?" Paimon asked.
How to do?
Ying's little face puffed up as she looked at the spot where Lin Jiu'an had disappeared.
No one could resist someone as adorable as me!
You absolutely cannot!
"Follow!"
······
Lin Jiu'an was helpless.
In the next few days.
Ying and Paimon followed him like two leeches.
No matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of it.
Although he knew they were probably just kind-hearted and worried about his safety as an ordinary person in the forest, Lin Jiu'an really didn't want to accept Ying's kindness, so he could only remain silent along the way, as if he couldn't see them.
He always remains silent when Paimon, a chatterbox, tries to strike up a conversation with him.
In this strange state, the three of them finally arrived outside Mondstadt on the third day.
"You guys! Wait a minute!"
A fiery red-clad girl, whom Ying least wanted to see, leaped from the high slope to the side and came to a stop right in front of the three of them, thanks to the brakes of Route 11.
Ying's heart skipped a beat.
They clearly didn't follow the original route and time, so why did Amber still block their way as always?
Although from a friend's perspective, Ying felt that she and Amber had a very good relationship.
However, she still didn't want to meet Amber.
The reason is simple: meeting Amber means that he will have to deal with Stormterror in front of Amber, and that he will have to go see Jean with Lin Jiu'an afterwards.
Lin Jiu'an doesn't say a word to her now, and their relationship is still like that of strangers.
Ying really didn't want him to see Qin.
Otherwise, if he falls in love with Qin at first sight like in his previous life and becomes Qin's devoted admirer, she'll be furious.
However, after exchanging ideas as in the original history, Lin Jiu'an watched as Amber and Ying destroyed a Hilichurl camp along the way, and then the group entered Mondstadt.
"The two of you have just arrived in Mondstadt and have nowhere to stay."
"If you don't mind, you can come and stay at my house."
As soon as they entered Mondstadt, Amber eagerly extended an invitation.
The words have not yet fallen.
Two voices, one male and one female, rang out in unison.
