Chapter 1160 Anxious Xiaoying
At this moment, Ying gently pulled Shao Yun's arm, signaling him to stop making trouble with Paimeng.
"Don't worry about Paimeng for now... Shao Yun, I have something to tell you."
When Shao Yun lay back down beside her, she immediately stretched out her arms, hugged him tightly, put her cheek against his chest, and said timidly:
"What I want to say is that I'm a little scared..."
Shao Yun could feel Ying's body trembling slightly. He lowered his head and looked at Ying in his arms, who had suddenly become timid, feeling puzzled.
"What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now? You said you were scared? What are you afraid of?"
Ying buried her face in Shao Yun's chest. She saw the love that was about to overflow from Mavica's eyes towards Shao Yun, which made her feel a crisis, a real crisis...
So she blurted out everything that was on her mind.
"Because... you see, Noelle, that kid, depends on you and likes you."
"But she's still young and innocent, and she seems to treat you more like a reliable brother. I'm not afraid that she will snatch you away."
"Women like Ningguang and Kamisato Ayaka might have feelings for you, but they likely have their own agenda, either seeking to collaborate for profit or to leverage your abilities."
"To put it bluntly, it's more like a naked transaction, not true love at all, so I'm not afraid."
"And Navia and Clorinde. Navia treats you as a companion she can trust." (Note: Shao Yun helped the Thorn Rose Society with some work.)
"Claulinde, at most, admires your strength and sees you as a mentor. Their feelings for you are very clear and measured. I've never worried."
At this point, Ying's voice dropped noticeably.
"But Mavica is different... I truly sense the danger in her."
"When she looked at you, there was only you in her eyes. That kind of unreserved, 100% love made me panic suddenly."
"I started to wonder, what do I have more than her? Besides loving you as much as she does, I seem to... seem to only have what I just experienced..."
Ying's voice became smaller and smaller, and she became less and less confident.
"This seems to be my only advantage now. It can make you clearly feel my care for you and let you know that I like you more than anyone else."
After Shao Yun heard Ying's heartfelt words, the expression on his face gradually became strange.
He looked down at Ying, who was full of melancholy in his arms. He was stunned for a few seconds, then he understood something.
"So, this is why you acted like a 'juicer' tonight, trying so hard to prove yourself, but ended up exhausting yourself?"
He finally understood that Ying's unusual initiative tonight was not a whim, nor was it a simple emotional release, but came from deep-seated anxiety.
She was afraid that she would lose her advantage in front of Mavica's "one hundred percent love", so she could only confirm her position in his heart in the most intimate way.
When Ying heard the description of "juicer princess", her cheeks turned red instantly, but she did not refute, but just raised her head sullenly.
"That's right... I'm just afraid that you'll be moved by Mavica's unconditional love, and that I won't have anything else to keep you except this same love."
After she finished speaking, she buried her head back in Shao Yun's arms, her arms tightly around his waist, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would be snatched away by someone else.
Shao Yun looked at Ying in his arms, who had finally let down her guard but still looked a little fragile. His heart was filled with pity, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to completely calm her anxiety.
He could only pat her back gently, trying to divert her attention with a gentle tone, and comforted her softly:
"All right, all right, don't dwell on it. We swore an oath, and no one can change that. Not Mavica, not anyone."
The scene at the wedding appeared before my eyes.
At that time, Ying was wearing a white wedding dress, her eyes full of stars. She held his hand tightly and recited the oath word by word with Yuan Shang.
This is an emotion that cannot be replaced by any other emotion.
As he spoke, Shao Yun stretched out his fingers and lovingly pinched Ying's slightly red nose.
"After things have calmed down in a few days, let's go to Flowing Springs for our honeymoon, okay? It just so happens that Maranie gave me two tickets for the vacation."
"Then I'll let you relax and put all the troubles of the past few days behind you. Now, don't let your mind wander."
He had long wanted to find an opportunity to take Ying out for a good time, but had been delayed by various things. This time, he could take this opportunity to let Ying relax and feel the sweetness of being alone together again.
As soon as Ying heard the word "honeymoon", her originally confused eyes suddenly brightened up.
She looked at Shao Yun's serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking. Perhaps he was imagining the beautiful scenery of the flowing springs, or perhaps he was looking forward to some time alone with them.
But no matter what, the tense anxiety in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable sense of security.
She hummed softly, the melancholy in her voice gone, with a hint of soft dependence instead.
Shao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her mood had improved.
He closed his eyes and hugged Ying tighter, allowing her to feel his body temperature and heartbeat more clearly, and continued to comfort her softly:
"Don't overthink it. Get some rest. You really pushed yourself today. From worrying about Mavica during the day to forcing yourself to sleep at night... If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Ying also imitated Shao Yun, slowly closed her eyes, and put her face against his chest, feeling his steady breathing and strong heartbeat.
The soothing rhythm was like a gentle lullaby, gradually calming all the waves in her heart.
Her breathing became more and more steady, her body completely relaxed, and the strength of her hands that were tightly holding Shao Yun's waist gradually weakened.
Before long, Shao Yun could feel the even breathing of the person in his arms.
Ying finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
……
While his consciousness was blurred, he once again stepped into a familiar yet unfamiliar space.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the scene around him was exactly the same as the last time he dreamed of the "fake" Ganyu feeding him fruit.
The same room layout, the same big bed, he was leaning against the headboard, everything was so familiar that it made his heart shudder.
Sure enough, Shao Yun just turned his head slightly and saw the familiar figure.
The "fake" Ganyu, transformed from a female goat, was lying on the edge of the bed beside him, reading a book.
Her legs, wrapped in black stockings, swayed rhythmically and regularly, appearing particularly leisurely.
Feeling that Shao Yun's consciousness had opened its eyes in the dream, the "fake" Gan Yu did not look up. She continued to slowly flip through the book in her hand and said in a calm but somewhat bored tone:
"Is this today's story?"
"A loyal knight embarks on a journey alone to defeat evil in order to save the golden-haired princess kidnapped by the Demon King."
"He overcame all obstacles along the way and slew countless monsters, just to rescue the princess from suffering as soon as possible."
"On his way, he met a heroic heroine. She was also fighting evil, sharing the same goal as the knight. The two hit it off and became companions on their adventure."
"Together, they fought against ferocious beasts, and their mutual understanding grew deeper and deeper as they fought side by side time and time again."
"As they battled one battle after another, the heroine gradually developed a love for the brave and determined knight."
"She admired his bravery, was fascinated by his courage, and was even willing to give everything for him."
Having said that, the "fake" Gan Yu finally stopped flipping through the book, closed it, and placed it on the bed beside her.
She tilted her head, her slender eyes filled with a playful smile as she stared at Shao Yun.
"Finally, when this heroic heroine mustered up the courage to confess her feelings and boldly express her love to her beloved knight, she discovered..."
"This knight, who had fallen head over heels in love, only had in his heart the golden-haired princess whom he had long since sworn to protect."
"He rejected the heroine and chose to remain loyal to the princess."
"At last I thought that this loyal knight would swear to protect these two women whose hearts were devoted to him; but I did not expect that he was a fool."
Shao Yun looked at the "fake" Ganyu who was leisurely telling a story in front of him and complained unhappily:
"So, now that you're in my dream, you're not doing that fruit-feeding trick anymore. Instead, you're imitating 'Tian Tiezui' and becoming a storyteller, telling me these childish fairy tales?"
He really couldn't understand the purpose of this "fake" Ganyu. Was it just to observe him?
Every time it would break into his dreams when he was most tired, either giving him inexplicable hints or making sarcastic comments... Humph, a trouble that could not be shaken off.
When the "fake" Gan Yu heard Shao Yun's sarcasm, she was not angry at all. Instead, she rested her chin on one hand, stared at Shao Yun with interest, and said meaningfully:
"There's no point in mocking me. The trouble you're involved in today is much bigger than you realize."
But Shao Yun didn't want to dwell on this topic. He waved his hand indifferently and complained perfunctorily:
"I've already taken care of it. Mavica is just having a hard time thinking things through. After she buries her head in the quilt and cries all night tonight and lets out her emotions, she'll probably be back to normal by the next day and can do whatever she needs to do."
He said this, but he knew in his heart that Mavica's confession of "never being able to get over it" would never disappear so easily.
But he really doesn't have the energy to think about the subsequent troubles now, so he can only comfort himself in this way.
Seeing Shao Yun being deliberately vague and avoiding the core issue, Gan Yu jokingly said:
"You're quite good at comforting yourself. But I've noticed that you're moving faster and faster down the crazy path of self-deception."
"I'm becoming increasingly curious. Someone like you, who upholds so-called 'loyalty' while constantly stirring up trouble, will ultimately bring about what kind of disaster to the world of Teyvat?"
She emphasized the word "catastrophe" particularly strongly, as if hinting at some terrible future.
When Shao Yun heard the word "catastrophe", he immediately felt overwhelmed.
He knew that if he continued to argue with the "fake" Ganyu, he would only be dragged into more outrageous topics, so he deliberately changed the subject.
"Don't talk nonsense. You adapted my experiences into this fairy tale and told it with relish in my dreams. I want to collect royalties."
"Fake" Gan Yu was stunned when she heard Shao Yun asking her for copyright fees.
Then she thought about it again and realized that she had indeed enjoyed a dramatic "good show" from Shao Yun's experience today, and she should indeed pay for the ticket.
"Okay, consider it your copyright fee. But I don't have any money to give you, so I can only give you something else as compensation."
As she spoke, she picked up the book she had just been reading, and then accurately found a page. She applied a little force with her fingertips, and with a "rip" sound, she tore off the page completely.
She raised her hand and handed the thin page to Shao Yun.
"Here, it's a gift for you. Consider it your 'copyright fee'."
Shao Yun took the page doubtfully, and felt the rough touch of the paper against his fingertips.
He looked down at the paper, which was covered with crooked lines, with no discernible pattern at all. He frowned and asked in confusion:
"What the hell? Is this a graffiti you drew?"
Seeing his bewildered expression, Gan Yu slowly explained:
"This is a eulogy. Have you forgotten? Capitano's 'faked death' drama hasn't completely ended yet, so there has to be a proper funeral to complete it. We have to make a good show, right?"
"It's reasonable for you to attend this funeral. Prepare your eulogy in advance to avoid any hassles."
Shao Yun nodded, then tried to decipher the words above.
But the more he looked at it, the more confused he became. The lines on it were not words at all. They looked like wriggling caterpillars, huddled together crookedly. In some places, they even overlapped and intertwined. There was no recognizable character at all.
"Why can't I understand this? It looks like something Klee scribbled with crayons... Forget the eulogy, I can't even make out a single complete word!"
"Fake" Gan Yu couldn't help laughing as she watched Shao Yun trying desperately to distinguish the appearance of the words in his dream.
"I said you are a fool, so you really are a fool, right?"
"You saw me, which means this is a dream. The words in dreams are inherently bizarre. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to understand them."
"Don't waste your energy. When you wake up, go look at your bedside table and you'll know."
Immediately afterwards, the "fake" Ganyu had already turned her attention back to the thick book in her hands. She adjusted herself to a comfortable position and said as she turned the pages:
"Okay, stop asking. You must be tired after tossing and turning all night, go back to rest. I still have to continue reading, so I won't chat with you anymore."
