Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

Chapter 208 Even the best romance needs some strategy and acting, right?

……

The next morning, Seele woke up groggily and reached out to rub her eyes, only to find a very elastic muscle.

……Um?

Opening her sleepy eyes, she was greeted by his handsome face, so striking it could almost be described as "stunningly beautiful." In her arms lay his healthy, strong, naked body. Her lover's breath tickled her cheeks and ears, making her feel weak in the knees.

The waiter lifted up Jiao's weakness, and it was Xincheng Enzeshi.

With a flushed face, Seele carefully got up, her brows furrowed. She felt a strange sensation that she both empathized with and instinctively avoided, yet was also vaguely curious and tried to sense it carefully...

Thankfully, Xiao Xi'er doesn't like to swear, otherwise she would definitely yell "Rio!"

You can have fun, but don't go overboard! Don't you know that Seele's senses are synchronized?!

"are you awake?"

The boy's gentle, warm voice asked softly. Seele instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around herself, burying her body beneath it.

Yun Fuyu sat up, covered her mouth and yawned, then said without looking at him, "Don't think too much. Last night, the other Xier suddenly changed her mind and used her own body."

Seele carefully sensed it... well, that's right. The sensory synchronization made her so shy that she subconsciously ignored her current situation. However, in reality, she was still wearing a light pink undershirt, with only her arms, shoulders, and part of her lower abdomen exposed. She couldn't be considered naked or exposed.

But the lingering pain and unspeakable, blissful ease brought on by that sensory synchronization... Ughhhhh!! So why did things suddenly come to this?!

Another Seele rolled her eyes in the consciousness space: "Isn't it all because you guys were dragging your feet? It's too late for you to regret it now!"

With a blush on her face, yet also smugly said, "Hehe, A-Yun's first time was mine!~~"

first……

Seele blushed, feeling both shy and regretful.

She stammered, unsure of what to say, but Seele, seeing through her thoughts, pressed her shoulder and shoved her hard: "To this day, we are still the same. Things have come to this point, Seele, you should look forward!"

To put it bluntly, Seele essentially dumped her ex-girlfriend and got together with her current boyfriend. How can she let go of her resentment?

However, firstly, as Seele said, things have come to this point, with the previous civilization broken down, she can no longer go back. Secondly, she genuinely likes Yun Fuyu, and indirectly... cough.

Therefore, we can no longer be so hard on ourselves; we should look forward.

Seele's consciousness was pushed out, and she had no choice but to accept reality; there was no room for hiding.

Seele pulled the blanket tighter around herself and glanced furtively to her side. But that one glance was all it took to keep her eyes glued to the side.

Yun Fuyu had already gotten out of bed, put on his clothes, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains open sharply. The nine o'clock morning sunlight was particularly dazzling, and his light-colored clothes and unconscious smile were equally eye-catching.

"She's right, we should look forward."

The same thought arose in both of their minds at the same time.

"..."

"Ahem, Seele."

"……Um."

Yun Fuyu returned to the bedside, took her hand, and said earnestly, "The rights and wrongs of the past are no longer clear. I can't apologize, and I can't make amends. You are still the same. I only know that in this moment, I only have you, and you only have me."

Seele subconsciously smiled, but quickly suppressed it, and said in a muffled voice, "That's not right, is it? You are 'that person,' everything belongs to you."

Hearing her say that, a sentence came to mind for Yun Fuyu, and she said it out loud: "Of all the waters in the world, I will only take one sip; of all the fleeting lives, I will only marry one person... cough cough."

After saying that, he blushed with shame, coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and still said firmly, "To me, you are the only one."

Seele buried her face in the blanket and asked, "Where's Alicia?"

To put it simply: Alicia + Seele, after a series of reactions, equals the "soul" of Yun Fuyu. Seele doesn't seem to be the only one.

Yun Fuyu shook her head: "This is different."

"What's different?"

Although Seele wasn't directly involved in the "battle," she, like many girls, was exceptionally sensitive at this moment and didn't want to pretend at all.

Yun Fuyu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before replying, "I rejoice because of your joy, grieve because of your sorrow, feel lost because of your confusion, and feel weary because of your weariness."

(Three meanings: You are very important to me, I care about your thoughts, and love requires a two-way exchange. The third point implies: I care about you, I care about Alicia, and I care about the previous civilization; you care about me, you care about Bronya, and you care about the current civilization—it's all relative. All we can do is try our best to look forward.)

Xi'er understood his implied meaning and felt a pang of grievance. She felt she had given up so much yet still couldn't get his promise, and she also felt he had underestimated her feelings for him. Coupled with the special sensations in her body, her eyes welled up with tears, which uncontrollably streamed down her face.

She sobbed, forcing a calm voice: "I understand. In short, everything is relative, right? You're not my only one, and I don't have to be your only one, is that right?"

Phosphoria couldn't help but want to punch these two guys. Couldn't one of them just back down first?!

“No,” Yun Fuyu climbed onto the bed, cupped Xi’er’s face, wiped away her tears, and looked at her pitiful face with tears in her eyes. She said seriously, “Because I know what you’re thinking, I’ve been trying to contact another dimension during this time.”

That's why I'm "tired because of your tiredness".

"It's just a coincidence. Kiana is searching for traces of our departure in another dimension. With our combined efforts, I'll be able to contact them in two days."

Seele stared at him blankly for a long while before slowly realizing—this guy was doing it on purpose!

He deliberately hurt Seele's feelings by saying "You're not my only one," and then suddenly reversed the situation, telling Seele that she misunderstood and that he had actually been trying to make her happy all along...!

That damned Yun, is he still going to play tricks at a time like this?!

While she was mentally writhing and raging, in reality, Seele tried her best to put on a stern face, but she couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears under his smiling gaze: "You rascal! Are you deliberately playing a trick on me?"

Yun Fuyu laughed too: "Don't you feel any happier?"

While it may seem like a formulaic approach, the technique of building suspense before revealing one's true feelings is still very effective. Even when two people are deeply in love, certain routines are still necessary and can still bring joy to both of them.

Seele bit his wrist hard! Amidst his feigned pain and gasp, she huffed arrogantly, "Seele doesn't accept this kind of trick! Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this!"

This "forgiveness" is half a joke and half a sincere one. It could refer to "Seele being tricked," or it could refer to "the schemes of the supreme god."

How many truths are spoken in jest? That's how it is now.

Yun Fuyu knelt on the bed with her hands clasped together, as if in prayer: "Then, beautiful, kind, cute, and charming Seele-chan, how can you forgive my despicable behavior?"

Seele glanced at her body, then inexplicably remembered something, her face flushing red: "This... of course you have to pay for everything! Anyway, I can't forgive you easily!"

"At least I have hope, don't I?" The boy raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone momentarily mirroring Alicia's: "Looks like Seele still can't bear to part with me~ Just like me!"

"...Come on, don't even try!"

Seele threw the large cushion at Yun Fuyu, jumped up, and shouted, "I'm not sad about you! At most... Waaah... You're bullying Seele again!!"

She stomped her feet cutely, then bent down and pinched Yun Fuyu's nose, looking into his eyes, and said gently, seriously, as if joking, yet also as if warning, "You are not allowed to leave Xier, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

He shamelessly hugged Seele's leg, rubbing against her, and said in a joking yet very serious and gentle tone, "You're not allowed to leave me either."

Suddenly, her gaze shifted to the side, and Yun Fuyu broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason—oh my god, how come Xi'er's socks are under my pillow? And two pairs at that?!

She can't see it, she ......

I can only try to distract Seele by rubbing against her thigh a little more... Waaah... So soft, so bouncy, so fragrant...
