Chapter 346

Given her personality, there must be some estrangement between them if they meet again in the future, right?

After all, Barbara is very sensible; she will restrain her own feelings so as not to disturb her and Gu Chen.

Jean felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.

On one hand, she didn't want to give up; on the other, she didn't want to see her sister in such pain.

"G-heh~"

"This is a land of freedom, so there should be free choices~"

"Follow your heart and make a choice you won't regret~"

It was a voice never heard before.

The wind seemed to have become sentient.

Is this the guidance of the Anemo Archon?

Jean didn't know.

But after hearing these words, Jean seemed to understand something.

This city of freedom doesn't seem to have so many rigid rules; even in romance novels, there seem to be settings with multiple heroines, right?

Why must her sister be left with regret and unwillingness?

Love is selfish, but Jean has never been a selfish person. This wasn't due to any external influence, but simply her personality since childhood.

Besides, Barbara is her own sister, so it should be fine, right?

"Hoo..."

Jean took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then said with a gentle expression: "Barbara, you've come at just the right time."

Gu Chen was stunned upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more complex.

Barbara's delicate body trembled.

She didn't understand what her sister meant by saying this.

Is it the condescending humiliation of a victor?

But her sister doesn't have that kind of personality...

Jean weighed her words, not wanting to hurt Barbara, and said softly: "The capricious Grand Master always brings Klee along to cause trouble. I have a lot of work, and I might not be able to take good care of him alone."

Barbara was somewhat astonished.

The meaning behind Jean's words was already very clear.

"I, I..."

Barbara didn't know what to say for a moment.

Her mood had suddenly plummeted to the bottom, only to be carried by the wind back up to the high heavens—is this roughly what it feels like?

"Jean..."

Gu Chen also didn't know how to describe his own feelings.

As a man, being able to have both in his arms is naturally very happy; it's something he couldn't ask for more.

No one can be truly selfless when it comes to love; what Jean is doing is equivalent to giving away half of her man.

What kind of mindset led her to make such a choice?

"If the ending of a light novel is full of regret, I usually send the author a blade," Jean said softly.

She reached out her hand and said, "Barbara, come here."

Jean took the initiative to make space for Barbara, allowing Gu Chen to pull Barbara into his embrace as well.

"G-heh!"

"This makes it complete; it truly is a poem worth writing well~"

A breeze blew by.

On a wall not far away, a green-clad youth sat holding a wine bottle, smiling incessantly.

[Kaeya]: Explosive!

[Azhdaha]: Did I come at the wrong time? No, it's the perfect time! (Paimon: Shocked)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From a general rational perspective, the result is somewhat abstract, but if you look at each line individually, whether it's the Sect Leader and Miss Jean or the Sect Leader and Miss Barbara, both are quite excellent.

[Dvalin]: When Jean didn't know how to choose, that jerk Barbatos actually did something human for once. (Picking nose)

[Venti]: It's me, Barbatos, I can't stand regret and unwillingness the most. (Venti: G-heh)

[Paimon]: All three keywords have appeared now, right? I feel like this episode is about to end.

[Nilou]: No! It can't end so quickly! I still want to see sweet romance! (Miss Miss Keqing: I refuse)

[Collei]: Exactly, give us some sugar first!! (Klee: Please)

[Kirara]: Sweet romance~~ (Yay)

[Furina]: Good, love it, broadcast it faster, I can't sleep at night! (Urging)

[Shikanoin Heizou]: What kind of mindset do Gu Chen's female fans have? They envy sweet romance but refuse to get into a relationship themselves? (Paimon: Shocked)

[Lyney]: Mr. Gu Chen has set the bar too high; even if they wanted to get into a relationship, they can't find a partner. (Hu Tao: Smirk)

[Navia]: Correct, insightful, but I still have to say, the main reason is actually just because they like watching others fall in love. (Venti: Celebration)

[Nilou]: Exactly, don't you like watching a couple go from strangers to knowing each other, then experiencing hardships before finally coming together in a sweet daily life!

[Collei]: I like it! (Collei: I can do it)

[Amber]: Why do I feel like you all prefer looking at Mr. Gu Chen's magnificent beauty? (Suspicious)

[Kaeya]: Normal, the composition of the Sect Leader's female fan group is very complex: they are fans of his looks, his love journey, his physique, his... I won't list them all one by one. (Funny)

[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: Looking at it this way, it really is complex... (Dizzy)

[Venti]: By the way, what is the Sect Leader doing? @[Gu Chen]

[Paimon]: No need to wait for him, he's being teased right now. (Video: Gu Chen is surrounded by Lumine, Ei, Raiden Shogun, Nahida, Miss Miss Ganyu, Hu Tao, and Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong, looking helpless for 6s)

[Kaeya]: Damn! Seven! Plus Jean and Barbara, that's nine! Sect Leader, you really deserve to die!! (Angry and embarrassed)

[Venti]: Damn! Why was I in the video acting so cheap to set them up!!! (Angry)

[Raiden Shogun]: Incorrect! You left me out. (Miss Miss Keqing: Sulking)

[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: (Shocked to my core for a whole year)

[Gorou]: Eh? If we count like this, we have three in Inazuma: Lady Ei, Lady Raiden, and the Shogun?! And the original video of the last fan-made video also had Miss Kamisato Ayaka, right? That makes four!

[Shikanoin Heizou]: We have four in Inazuma? Good, good, good, leading by a wide margin! (Venti: Celebration)

[Xingqiu]: We have three in Go Go Go Liyue: Lady Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong, Miss Miss Miss Ganyu, and Hall Master Hu. (Thumbs up)

[Chongyun]: Why can't the Geo Archon be female?

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Can we move past this meme? (Angry)

[Azhdaha]: The Geo Archon has had female incarnations, so it's not impossible. Besides, the Sect Leader is so awesome, what does it matter if he's a man? (Paimon: Leave it to me)

[Prince]: I can't bear to look at this damn group.

[Noelle]: Then we only have two in Mondstadt? (Tilts head)

[Kaeya]: I won't name which countries don't have a Sect Leader's wife. (Funny)

[Furina]: What do you mean? What do you mean!! (Ahhhhh)

[Navia]: Lady Furina seems to be getting furious. (Paimon: Shocked)

[Neuvillette]: In this regard, Fontaine has indeed lost completely. (Sigh)

[Clorinde]: Winning or losing in this regard doesn't seem to have any practical meaning, right?

[Wriothesley]: Indeed.

[Lyney]: It's just for fun. (Lyney: Salute)

[Tartaglia]: When will it be our Snezhnaya's turn!! (Gorou: Crying)

[Natlan Passerby]: When will it be our Natlan's turn!! (Gorou: Crying)

[Furina]: When will it be our Fontaine's turn!! (Gorou: Crying)

[Enjou]: When will it be our Abyss Order's turn!! (Gorou: Crying)

[Paimon]: Wait a minute, did something weird get mixed in? (Miss Miss Keqing: Questioning)

[Gu Chen]: Don't force it if you don't have anything to do; aren't you all monsters in the Abyss Order? You saying that makes me break into a cold sweat. (Shivering)

[Prince]: (Picking nose)

[Tartaglia]: Eh! I remember my master might be able to; she's not from the Abyss Order, but she has a connection to the Abyss! (Tartaglia: Proud)

[Paimon]: Who is it?
