"It's truly terrifying what happens when you become popular..."
Ying shook her head, dismissing all thoughts of making money off her fame.
"Haha, that kind of thing rarely happens, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Even if it's rare, it's a real possibility," the girl chuckled, unable to resist ruffling Ying's hair.
Ying didn't protest; it actually felt quite nice.
Ying: Wait! I just didn't want her to get a bad impression of me, I didn't say that!
Cough cough ~ back to the story
Ying nodded, wanting to ask her name, but realized she didn't even know it. So, she asked,
"So, what's your name? We've been talking for so long, and I don't even know your name."
"Me? Just call me Yun Jin (^_^)"
"Okay, okay~"
Yun Jin, Yun Jin... she's so pretty, she must be someone important, but I don't remember any character named Yun Jin in Genshin Impact...
Ying thought hard for a long time. Seeing that she couldn't recall any information about her, she decided to just go with the flow. It didn't matter if they knew each other before, as long as they knew each other now.
"Um, Yun Jin, what do you do? From what you said earlier, it sounds like you're a star."
"Mm... I just sing opera. I'm not as famous as you might think. To be precise, I'm nothing right now, just Yun Jin (^_^)"
Yun Jin's words made Ying instantly understand. She nodded and changed the subject.
"So, is there anywhere you want to go this time?"
"Mm-hmm, I want to take a day off and explore Liyue Harbor properly. But as you've seen, I'm afraid of attracting attention, so I can only walk in secluded places."
Yun Jin sighed helplessly as she spoke, which made Ying feel very sympathetic.
She was sure that if Lumine knew, she would definitely knock her on the head and scold her,
"When will you ever put your own affairs before others!"
Ying: ...
"Although what you said is very reasonable... aren't you coming out a bit too often lately!"
Ah, this... cough cough ~ can't be helped. I've been uninterested in everything lately, so I'm just looking for some fun kΑnshu伍.ξà
Emm...
Returning to the plot once more ~
Seeing Yun Jin look down dejectedly, Ying wanted to help her fulfill her wish. After thinking for a while, she came up with a brilliant plan.
"It's easy to avoid being recognized. Just watch me!"
With that, Ying started searching her inventory.
Hmm... this outfit has too little fabric. This one too... I seem to have gotten a few more team watches, but wearing something like that would attract more attention...
After rummaging through, Ying finally put together a few outfits that she felt were decent. However, seeing the disparity in the number of clothes on both sides, she was speechless.
She didn't expect the difference between clothes with a lot of fabric and those with little to be more than ten to one...
Looking at the casual travel outfit that Paimon first gifted her, Ying couldn't help but snort softly.
"Hmph~ I won't wear it, I won't wear it! That'll make you mad!"
Yun Jin, who had seen everything: ...
"Um... Ying, do you have a split personality?"
Ah, this... Σ(|||▽|||)
Ying quickly took out an outfit and handed it to Yun Jin, then immediately diverted her attention.
"Cough cough, never mind the details. Hurry up and change into something else. I've also prepared a baseball cap and a mask for you. I guarantee no one will recognize you~"
"Eh? Change here?! (//∇//)"
A blush immediately crept onto Yun Jin's face, and she glanced around shyly.
Seeing Yun Jin like this, Ying immediately realized something and quickly tried to remedy the situation.
"Ah, sorry, sorry. I forgot this isn't a shop."
With that, she pulled Yun Jin back into the Serenitea Pot...
Ah... of course! Outside the bedroom~ After all, if Lumine found out she was secretly bringing other girls home, she would definitely torment her severely tonight.
Yun Jin followed Ying into the house, looking around at the furnishings of the Serenitea Pot along the way.
"Wow~ Your home is so enviable! Mountains, water, and a villa. I think I'm falling in love with this place (✪▽✪)"
"Hehe~ It's really not that much~"
Ying scratched her head sheepishly, then added,
"You can change in the living room. Remember to be quiet, otherwise, if Lumine finds out, I'm doomed!"
"Eh? Why? Is she fierce?"
Yun Jin blinked in confusion and asked.
"No, no, she's very good to me... cough cough ~ Anyway, hurry up and change. Remember to be quiet!"
After reminding Yun Jin, Ying returned to her and Lumine's shared room and closed the door. One reason was to check on Lumine, and the other was to prevent Lumine from hearing noises outside.
After closing the door, Ying tiptoed to the bedside and found Lumine still lying there with her eyes closed. She let out a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and mumbled softly,
"Phew... it's good she didn't wake up... (⌒▽⌒)"
However, as soon as Ying finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"How could I not be awake? I was just too lazy to get up."
Ah, this...
Hearing Lumine's voice, Ying stiffly turned her head to look. Seeing Lumine's slightly upturned lips, she immediately began to stutter a defense,
"Um, Lumine, let me explain, I'm not... Σ(|||▽|||)"
"Pfft..."
Hearing Ying's flustered tone, Lumine couldn't help but chuckle. She laughed and said,
"Don't worry~ I promised you yesterday that I wouldn't tease you today, so you don't have to be afraid."
Hearing Lumine's words, Ying said with a sigh,
"But you'll make up for today's teasing tomorrow, right...?"
"Hahaha~ I'm not that mean, okay?"
Lumine smiled and tapped Ying's forehead, then added,
"How about this: if you bring us back some dinner tonight, I'll forgive you for wanting to sneak out to play with other girls. What do you think?"
"Uh... are you sure just bringing back food is enough?"
Ying stared suspiciously at Lumine, not because she didn't believe her, but because such a condition coming from Lumine felt like a windfall.
Seeing Ying's disbelief, Lumine shook her head helplessly and said dotingly,
"Really, really~ If you still don't believe me, then I can increase the punishment a little~"
Ying quickly said, "No, no, no! Let's stick to the original plan. Thank you, Sister! You're the best!"
"Hmmph~ Since I've been so good to you, shouldn't my little cutie give me a kiss as a token of appreciation?"
