Chapter 500: How Long Do You Intend to Run Away? (Please Subscribe!!)
At that very moment, on the large ship not far away, a streak of lightning emerged.
Shortly after, a figure appeared before Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu almost instantly.
Jiang Yan raised his hand and pulled Little Ganyu behind him.
Upon seeing that familiar purple braided pigtail, Jiang Yan smiled and said to Lei Dianying:
"You've come, Ei."
Lei Dianying said nothing, her eyes fixed solely on Jiang Yan.
Little Ganyu stepped aside, yielding the space for Jiang Yan and her.
Just as Little Ganyu had said.
Jiang Yan had to face these matters head-on.
Lei Dianying and Jiang Yan gazed at each other for a long time.
Before long, Lei Dianying suddenly spoke.
"How long do you intend to keep running away?"
"I..."
Jiang Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, yet no words came out.
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became awkward.
At that moment, Raiden Makoto and Kitsune Saiguu, fearing Lei Dianying might do something foolish, also caught up.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Lei Dianying speaks directly; please don't take it to heart!"
Raiden Makoto hurriedly apologized and tried to pull Lei Dianying away.
It was too awkward!
Lei Dianying actually said something like that directly!
Lei Dianying still wanted to struggle, but when she saw the pleading looks in Raiden Makoto's and Kitsune Saiguu's eyes, she finally quieted down and, like a marionette, was led away by Raiden Makoto.
"I won't run away anymore."
At that moment, Jiang Yan's clear voice reached the ears of the three.
The figures of Raiden Makoto and the other two trembled almost simultaneously.
"Y-you... what did you say?"
Raiden Makoto turned her head, fearing what she heard was merely her own illusion.
"Haa..."
Jiang Yan exhaled lightly and smiled as he spoke to them:
"I won't run away anymore, just as you see."
"I am standing right before you now, am I not?"
Raiden Makoto and the other two stood there motionless, like statues, watching Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.
"Hmm... how should I put it."
"I am very sorry. Due to some personal reasons of mine, I have been running away from my feelings for you."
"But continuing like this simply won't do."
"It's impossible to keep running away forever, is it?"
Perhaps because Jiang Yan himself was a person who struggled with matters of the heart.
He did have feelings for Raiden Makoto and the others; he had just been running away from them.
Because he did not want Little Ganyu to suffer.
This resulted in pleasing neither side.
Perhaps this is what is called... being a fool.
If Little Ganyu had not been so considerate, if she had not understood Jiang Yan's feelings for others, if she had been selfish enough, she could have claimed Jiang Yan entirely for herself.
But in the end, she gave Jiang Yan a push, urging him to face his feelings and look into his own heart.
After all, just as Jiang Yan cared about her feelings, Little Ganyu also cared deeply about Jiang Yan's feelings.
Listening to Jiang Yan's confession, when she heard that he was willing to accept the feelings of Raiden Makoto and the others, she could no longer hold back; she threw herself into Jiang Yan's arms and began to sob.
Who knows what torment she had endured over these several hundred years?
Five hundred years ago in Khaenri'ah, she saw her own heart's feelings clearly and has since devoted hundreds of years of effort to them.
Until today, it has finally borne fruit!
Sometimes she felt it was not worth it; after all, Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu already had a fine relationship, and her inserting herself would only be destroying their bond.
Yet she could never restrain herself from pursuing an answer that was basically impossible to obtain.
When Raiden Makoto's slender body embraced Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan's entire body stiffened.
He raised his hand, lifted it, then lowered it again.
But immediately after, Lei Dianying and Kitsune Saiguu also threw themselves into Jiang Yan's embrace.
Kitsune Saiguu's ears, which had been standing upright, even drooped down to the sides, and her body trembled.
Jiang Yan raised his hand, stiff for a long time, or perhaps only a moment, then placed it gently on Raiden Makoto's head, stroking it softly.
"I am very sorry to have made you wait so long..."
Jiang Yan's gentle voice sounded in the ears of Raiden Makoto and the other two.
"It wasn't long; it was very worth it!"
Raiden Makoto shook her head gently, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Jiang Yan.
"Oh my, what a touching scene."
"It made everyone cry."
Beside Ganyu, a pink-furred fox wrapped her arms around Ganyu's arm, grinning mischievously.
"You..."
Ganyu gently patted Yae Miko's head, smiling helplessly.
"Hmph, that bad guy was so brave this time; I bet Little Ganyu's big sister deserves some credit, right?"
Yae Miko said to Ganyu with a beaming smile.
"Ah Yan is simply someone who gets tangled up in matters of the heart."
Ganyu said calmly.
"Sometimes you just have to give him a push."
"And..."
Ganyu's face turned red for no apparent reason.
Since becoming pregnant, Jiang Yan had dared not touch her.
He feared hurting the child in her belly.
Every time they lay in bed, Jiang Yan would stare straight at Ganyu, then silently go to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Although every time Ganyu would use her hand or other parts to help Jiang Yan Resolves, these efforts were ultimately just a drop in the bucket.
This guy, lately, she could barely stand him; she needed some help to assist her...
Ganyu's face flushed slightly, and she even dared not think any further.
"Hm? Could it be..."
Seeing Ganyu's inexplicably flushed face, Yae Miko instantly flashed a wicked smile.
