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

Then...

Just as Nel was at a loss.

Suddenly, a voice from a man she would never forget rang out at the door.

"Long time no see, Nilu."

Chapter 1 Nel and Desia / A Game (4K)

Nilu reflexively looked towards the doorway.

A young man with black hair and black eyes, resembling Li Yue's Inazuma, appeared at the doorway without anyone noticing.

"Who are you?!"

Anaye looked wary when she saw Lin Jiu'an.

Lin Jiu'an ignored her and looked at Nilu with a smile. He also learned from Dolly that their memories were not modified by the World Tree, and Nilu's excited expression at this moment clearly betrayed that she remembered him.

“Anaye, he is my friend.”

Anaye rarely saw Nilu speak with such excitement and urgency.

The last time I saw her like this was when I learned from the Order of the Church that, with the help of Lady Ama, she had successfully persuaded those old fogies in the Order to agree to restore the "Flower Goddess Dance" at the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," and I was so excited that I wanted to see Lady Ama.

Could it be that Lord Ama has been a bit cold towards Nel lately, causing Nel to fall for someone else?

Anaye's expression was somewhat strange, mostly indignant, and her gaze towards Lin Jiu'an began to turn unfriendly.

She has always been a fan of the "Ah Mao x Nil" pairing!

Although I don't know why, recently, Master Ama, who used to come to see Sister Nel's performances often, hasn't been coming to the theater much, and on several occasions when Sister Nel took the initiative to look for him, his attitude became quite cold.

But the CP (couple) supporters' stance remains unwavering!

This man, who appeared out of nowhere, actually wants to steal the woman of Lord Amazu, who saved Lord Amazu from the clutches of the Fools and repeatedly rescued Sumeru from danger?!

"Sister Nilu, you'll be dancing the 'Flower Goddess Dance' at the 'Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival' later."

"At that time, it won't just be the people participating in the festival."

"Both Lord Little Lucky Grass and Lord Hat will watch it."

"At such an important moment, you can't just come into contact with any strange or weird people."

Anaye emphasized the word "Ah-mao-sama" in her voice, trying to remind Nel of the other person's importance in her heart.

But Anaye's reminder only made things worse, as it caused Nil's expression to change.

She recalled the things she did in her past life when her memories were altered and she mistook "Sanbing" for Lin Jiu'an. Although she didn't do anything wrong because of her own modesty and that guy's indifference towards women—she didn't even hold hands—it was still enough to make her feel incredibly ashamed and angry.

Especially in front of Lin Jiu'an!

"All right!"

Nilu couldn't help but raise her voice, saying sternly, "I need to chat with my friend now, please leave!"

"Did you hear that? Nel said you need to go out..."

Anaye was speaking when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She turned her head in surprise and saw that Nilu, who was usually gentle and kind, was looking at her with an expression that was completely unfamiliar to her, an expression that she had never seen Nilu show to her or anyone else.

Somewhat...scary?

Although she didn't know exactly why, Anaye knew that she seemed to have angered Nel.

“Sister Nilu…”

Before Anaye could finish speaking, Nilu interrupted, "That's enough."

“He is my friend, and I don’t want to see anyone disrespect my friend.”

"Also, I have absolutely no connection with that guy named Ah Mao. On the contrary, I hate him. Please don't mention his name in front of me or my friends."

"Now, please get out!"

Looking at Nilu, who was pointing in the direction of the door and showing her no mercy whatsoever, Anaye opened her mouth in grievance.

"Sister Nilu, I..."

"go out!"

Hearing Niluna raise her voice, Anaye realized she had truly angered him.

"I understand. I'm sorry, Sister Nilu. I didn't mean it. Please don't be angry with me. I'll leave right now. I'll leave right now."

Anaye left the room pitifully, tears welling in her eyes, as she spoke.

Lin Jiu'an watched this scene with a smile.

My gaze followed Anaye's figure until it disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"do you remember me?"

Listening to Nilu's anxious voice.

Lin Jiu'an turned his head and looked at Nilu, who was getting out of bed somewhat awkwardly, before going inside and closing the door behind him.

"How are you?"

Hearing Lin Jiu'an's greeting, which sounded like that of an acquaintance, Nilu's face lit up with joy.

I am truly sorry for my past life.

"It's alright. If anyone's to blame, it's the World Tree. I would never put the blame on you," Lin Jiu'an said with a smile.

Modifications to the "world" by the World Tree have a very high priority.

Aside from him, Ying, and Kong, who are outsiders from this world, even the Demon Gods would find it difficult to resist the World Tree's alteration of history, let alone Nel, a commoner girl who only knows how to dance.

Nilu observed carefully and, seeing that Lin Jiu'an didn't seem to be angry with her at all, she finally smiled with relief.

Then she remembered something and explained, "Nothing happened between me and that guy..."

"It's ok."

Hearing Lin Jiu'an's nonchalant interruption, although it was mostly meant to comfort her, Nilu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She repeated, "Nothing happened between me and that guy."

Then, half-complaining and half-happy, she said, "Why are you only getting here now?"

"I'm sorry," Lin Jiu'an said with a smile, "Just like a theatrical performance, a grand show requires a period of preparation."

Nilu was slightly taken aback, then she realized what was going on.

Since her rebirth, the secret of being a reborn person and the fear of her future with Sumeru have made her unable to be as naive as she was in her previous life, only knowing how to dance. Looking at Lin Jiu'an's smile, Nilu also vaguely guessed what was going on.

Nilu hesitated before asking, "Are we in a 'dream' right now?"

"nature."

"Are the things that the wealthy merchant Dolly did related to you?"

“I made a deal with her.”

As she spoke, Nilu's unease grew stronger, and she looked at Lin Jiu'an with some anxiety.

"what do you want to do?"

"It's just a game."

Lin Jiu'an smiled and said, "Don't you think I was a bit too weak in my past life?"

Nilu pursed her cherry lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"They, like me, had their memories altered by the World Tree."

"Of course, that's precisely why I want to play this game."

Lin Zejiuan smiled and said, "That's precisely why I want to give them a chance."

Nilu asked doubtfully, "An opportunity?"

"Yes."

“Nilu, do you think that if they knew the truth, they would choose to stand on my side or on his side?”

"Everyone will stand by you..."

Nilu fell silent for a moment as she was talking.

If it were this time in a past life.

She would say without hesitation that everyone would choose to stand on Lin Jiu'an's side.

But in this life.

After the period of isolation and helplessness that was both dark and agonizing for her until she met Lin Jiu'an, a voice inside her was telling her that things might not be as simple as she thought.

finally.

Nilu slightly raised her head.

She looked at the man in front of her who made her feel incredibly safe.

Since regaining her memories of her past life, she has lived day and night in endless fear and tension.

I've never felt so at ease.

It was as if a traveler who had trekked through countless years of snow and ice had finally found a refuge that could shelter him from the wind and snow.

Nilu subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to lean on his chest, just like when she was a child and it was cold at home in winter, she would huddle in her mother's arms.

However, Nel quickly realized that her actions were somewhat inappropriate.

Shame and panic brought them to a halt.

She looked at him uneasily.

Lin Jiu'an reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his arms and then around her slender and supple waist.

"What about you?"

Nilu's fair face flushed slightly, but a happy smile appeared on her face as she buried her head in his chest and hugged his waist.

I will always stand by your side!

······

"Nil is looking for me?"

Dixia looked at the members of the theater troupe in front of her with surprise.

Could it be that Nel is also a reincarnated person like herself?

But after thinking for a while, Dixia was still clueless. Regardless of whether Nilu was a reincarnated person or not, she didn't understand what the point of Nilu looking for her in the past was.

Having been reborn, Dixia wanted to try to solve the problem of Sumeru.

But she soon discovered that she was too weak.

Leaving aside whether Elhesen and Seno would believe him, even if they did, it wouldn't matter, because they were no match for "The Doctor" and "The Skirmishers." For them, let alone the Fools, even the Great Sages and the Self-Defense Forces would be quite troublesome.

Lin Jiu'an and Ying did not come.

They simply don't have that ability!

But Lin Jiu'an and Ying have still not arrived in Xumi.

Dixia was prepared to give up entirely; if she really entered the cycle of dreams, she would risk being discovered to warn Nilu. But the problem was, when she woke up this morning, she suddenly found that the dream had changed.

It's still the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," but the time seems to have changed to the next year's "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival."

"I'll go over now."

We arrived outside Nel's room.

Dixia knocked on the door.

As Nil called out "Come in" from inside the door, Dixia pushed open the door and went in.

But as soon as she went inside, Dixia was stunned when she saw the extra man.

"Lin Jiu'an?"

"Come in first."
