~7 min read 1,333 words

Lin Mo was practically her savior.

"Alright."

Hearing Dunyarzad's words, the butler nodded: "Then let's go to Yunhanshe."

Saying this, they headed to Yunhanshe.

However, when they arrived at Yunhanshe, they didn't see Lin Mo, only Yunjin.

For a time, the two waited.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed.

They waited until noon, but still didn't see Lin Mo.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded, instantly attracting Dunyarzad's attention.

She saw Collei and Fischl walking up.

"Excuse me, where is Mr. Lin Mo?"

Looking at Fischl and Collei coming up, Dunyarzad asked softly: "I want to treat Mr. Lin Mo to a meal."

"Lin Mo won't be able to come until the evening."

Fischl scratched her head: "Collei and I just got up not long ago, and we came specifically to find Yunjin."

"Lin Mo is busy this afternoon."

"He's only coming in the evening?"

Hearing Fischl's words, Yunjin was immediately surprised: "You just got up? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Under normal circumstances, Collei and Fischl would come to Yunhanshe for breakfast in the morning.

As a result, they didn't come all morning and only arrived at noon.

And they just got up?

"Um..."

Hearing Yunjin's words, Fischl's face turned red, and she subconsciously turned her head to look around.

Collei's heart also suddenly skipped a beat, and she tried her best to calm down.

Who could have imagined that Liyue's Tianshu, Ningguang, would make such an exaggerated decision.

They only fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn this morning!!!

Ningguang, Keqing, Baiwen, Baixiao, Baishi, she Collei, and Fischl.

Thinking of the scene where they were all lying down in a row, Collei's face turned flushed.

"Then I will come to Yunhanshe again in the afternoon."

And Dunyarzad, hearing Collei and Yunjin's words, nodded gently, said a few words, and left.

"Yunjin, we estimate that we might leave tomorrow or the day after."

After Dunyarzad left, Collei turned to look at Yunjin and said softly: "Because Dunyarzad and the others are going to Sumeru, we won't be flying on swords when we go; instead, we will return to Avidya Forest along the way, and we'll happen to stroll around, so it might be a while before we return to Liyue."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing Collei's words, Yunjin was stunned.

That long?

"I understand."

Immediately, Yunjin nodded gently: "Just the journey to Sumeru takes ten days or half a month if you go by land."

"And that's assuming nothing happens on the road."

"However, you can be a bit faster when you come back."

"Yes."

Collei nodded.

But the next second, Collei thought of something, squinted her eyes, and said softly: "Yunjin, you like Brother Lin Mo, don't you?"

Collei's words were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, quietly stirring up ripples.

Upon hearing this, Yunjin became nervous, her eyes flickering, as if a deer was bumping in her heart, her little secret suddenly exposed by the blunt question.

"Ah?"

Yunjin's voice carried a hint of surprise, and a blush quickly climbed onto her face, like clouds in the dawn, soft and shy.

Yunjin subconsciously wanted to deny it, her mouth twitching, but she found she couldn't even say the words of denial.

Collei looked at Yunjin's obviously shy appearance, a mischievous smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, and said: "I saw it all; the way you looked and smiled when you were practicing dancing with Brother Lin Mo these past two days was completely unlike your usual self."

"And yesterday, when you found out we were leaving, your mind was very chaotic; although you hid it well, I still noticed."

Hearing Collei's words, Yunjin's face became even redder, her heart beating as if it were being tightly squeezed by a hand, so fast it was almost escaping her chest.

Subconsciously, Yunjin lowered her head, avoiding Collei's gaze, her fingers fiddling with her hem, that embarrassment and helplessness seemingly overflowing.

"There's no such thing..." Yunjin's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet air.

Yunjin's eyes glanced upward slightly, trying to defend herself, but she felt every word was too heavy for her to bear.

Seeing this scene, Collei squinted her eyes, unwilling to let her off, and said even more affirmatively: "Everyone has someone they like; it's normal. Look, what color is your face now? It's more brilliant than the most beautiful sunset in Liyue."

Hearing this, Yunjin only felt her face was hot enough to burn.

In her heart, there was a mix of sweetness and embarrassment, like a child's little secret being discovered by an adult, both scared and a little excited.

She raised her head, bit her lip, and finally said in a low voice: "Don't say any more..."

Yunjin's voice carried an unmaskable shyness and tenderness.

Seeing this, Collei smiled even more brightly.

She understood that in Yunjin's heart, there was indeed a little secret of liking Lin Mo.

And this secret was like a budding flower, shy and beautiful.

"To tell you the truth, Fischl and I are already with Brother Lin Mo."

The next second, Collei said in a low voice, revealing such a surprising piece of news casually, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

As she spoke, Collei leaned closer to Yunjin, her voice lowered, carrying a hint of a conspirator's secrecy: "I can help you."

"Ah?"

Hearing Collei's words, Yunjin's eyes widened, the surprise on her face and in her eyes unmasked, as if she were a frightened little beast, at a loss.

Collei's words were like a sudden storm to her, catching her off guard.

Collei, however, didn't wait for Yunjin to recover, and continued softly: "If you like someone, you have to pursue them boldly. Look at me, isn't that what I did? Fischl is even more so, not hesitating to run from Mondstadt to Liyue. You can do it too; we can think of a way together."

Hearing Collei's words, Yunjin's face turned even redder.

While blushing, she also subconsciously looked at Fischl in shock.

Fischl actually didn't hesitate to run from Mondstadt to Liyue for Lin Mo.

And Fischl, seeing Yunjin's gaze, just shrugged: "That's how it is."

There was nothing that couldn't be said about that.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Getting Fischl's confirmation, her heart beat rapidly, to the point where she could hear it clearly.

Yunjin's breathing became rapid, every inhalation carrying a hint of trembling: "But... how could I..."

Yunjin's voice was as small as a mosquito's, revealing an unprecedented fragility and unease.

Collei, however, was like a seasoned strategist, starting to devise plans, every suggestion making Yunjin feel shocked and excited: "You can find a suitable opportunity, for example, while practicing dancing, give Lin Mo a small gift you made yourself, or write a letter to express your feelings."

Yunjin's face was already completely red, and hearing these direct and bold suggestions from Collei, she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

The next second, Yunjin whispered in rebuttal: "But... is this really okay?"

"Of course it is!"

Collei's answer was firm and affirmative: "Being direct is always better than hiding things. If you don't try, how will you know the result?"

The two discussed it in low voices like this, Collei observing Yunjin's reaction as she spoke to ensure she wouldn't be scared away by her enthusiasm.

Although Yunjin was incredibly shy, a glimmer of light began to shine in her eyes; that was the anticipation for the future and the longing for love.

During the discussion, Yunjin's shyness was gradually replaced by curiosity about the strategy; although her face still flushed from time to time, the shock and nervousness in her eyes had slowly turned into firmness and anticipation.

This conversation might be the beginning of her taking a brave step forward.

Fischl also excitedly joined in and began to discuss.

While the three women were discussing Lin Mo.
