Chapter 52
Gu Changge Strikes First, a Winning Gamble! (2/5)

With his current strength, Gu Chang Ge naturally sensed the abnormality of the lyre beside him instantly. After pondering for a moment, he had a faint guess in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it seemed that his previous use of the alluring talent on her had had a significant impact on her!

Moreover,

She seemed to have a high level of affection for him?

After hesitating for a moment,

Gu Chang Ge reached out and took hold of Qin's soft and boneless jade hand, grasping it tightly.

Qin: !!!

Qin trembled all over, turning her head to look at Gu Chang Ge in disbelief. However, the latter's expression remained calm, as if the person holding her hand was not him.

Of course,

While Gu Chang Ge appeared calm on the surface as he was being stared at by Qin, he was actually quite nervous inside.

He didn't know what kind of reaction Qin would have, nor did he know if his guess was right or wrong.

Qin: "......"

The girl pursed her lips and struggled slightly, but found that her small hand was held tightly.

A charming blush appeared on Qin's fair face, and she lowered her head shyly. However, she didn't struggle further, instead allowing Gu Chang Ge to hold her hand.

A smile flashed in Gu Chang Ge's eyes, it seemed he had gambled right!

As he tightened his grip slightly,

The distance between them grew closer and closer, almost touching.

...

"Chang Ge, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Walking hand in hand along the street, Qin turned her head to look at Gu Chang Ge, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Chang Ge nodded and said softly, "Qin, when we took Klee to Starfell Lake to fish today, I met Barbara."

Barbara?

Her sister?

Qin's brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately became nervous: "Chang Ge, my sister... what happened to Barbara?"

"Your sister?"

"Barbara is your sister?"

Qin sighed slightly, nodding helplessly: "Yes, Barbara is actually my biological sister, but because of our parents, we were separated."

"Moreover,"

"She seems to dislike me. Besides work, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Gu Chang Ge raised an eyebrow, Qin actually thought Barbara disliked her?

However, in reality, Barbara not only didn't dislike Qin, she even had a certain amount of admiration for her. She also wanted to be close to her, but Qin was too serious when working.

That's why Barbara didn't know how to get along with Qin.

"Qin, when I met her today, Barbara was very unhappy, her mood was quite low."

Qin was taken aback, feeling a little worried, she asked: "What's wrong with Barbara? Did something happen to her?"

"Sigh, it's all because of her dreams!"

"She is Mondstadt's idol, with many fans, but some of her fans often block the entrance to the Favonius Church, making it difficult for Barbara to go out."

"Even if she sneaks out, she will be surrounded and harassed by those people."

"This has already caused great trouble to Barbara's life."

"I saw Barbara yesterday evening, she's a lively and cheerful girl, but when I saw her today, she was filled with disappointment and gloom."

"Qin,"

"Although Mondstadt is the City of Freedom, the actions of those people are no longer freedom."

"In my homeland, Earth, there are many big stars, like Barbara, they also have a lot of fans, some even have many more fans than Barbara."

"Among those fans, there are also some who are like the dregs who hang out in front of the Favonius Church."

"But those big stars haven't encountered the same predicament as Barbara. They have bodyguards to protect them, and if something like this happens, they will take legal action against them immediately."

"Perhaps Mondstadt doesn't have any relevant laws yet, but I think the actions of these people are criminal."

"Freedom is not indulgence. Freedom without any rules is no longer freedom."

"Qin, I think you should consider enacting relevant laws to limit the indulgence of Mondstadt's people."

Speaking of which,

Gu Chang Ge turned his head to look at Qin: "And you."

"Although we haven't known each other for long, I actually know a lot about you. The wind told me a lot."

"I don't understand why you have to work so hard."

"I know you have a strong sense of responsibility and you've been trying to protect everything in Mondstadt."

"But being responsible shouldn't be wasted on trivial matters."

"These trivial matters shouldn't be done by you or the Knights of Favonius. What you should do is try your best to lead the Knights of Favonius to protect the safety of Mondstadt."

"As for other trivial matters, they are their own business."

"If a person can't even handle their own affairs and wants to rely on others for everything."

"Then that person is a worthless piece of trash, it's a waste of rice for them to live."

"However,"

"There are many, many people like this in Mondstadt."

"And you,"

"As the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the leader of Mondstadt, you are always busy with these matters that should be theirs, leaving you exhausted."

"Qin, do you really think this is following the will of the Lion's Tooth Knight, Vensera?"

Qin fell silent, her head lowered, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Gu Chang Ge shook his head helplessly, it seemed that changing Qin's thoughts was not so easy.

"Qin, you, as a leader, don't need to, and can't, waste your time on these meaningless things."

"To be honest, I felt quite sorry for you when you fell asleep in front of me because you were too tired before."

"But if you continue to spend your energy on these trivial matters that should be theirs, then you will become more and more tired and eventually collapse."

"Moreover, even if you collapse, it's pointless. Those people might be grateful for you, but they might also resent you for your downfall."

"Eh?"

Qin was taken aback, she looked at Gu Chang Ge in confusion and asked: "Chang Ge, why? Why do you think they will resent me? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?"

"Hehe..."

"Qin, you are really too naive."

"You underestimate human nature too much."

"Humans are the most complex creatures, and human hearts are unpredictable."

"Right now, no matter who it is, no matter what happens, as long as they find you, you will try your best to help them."

"Now, they are indeed grateful for you."

"But you have forgotten that, in this way, they will slowly take your help for granted, becoming more and more demanding, putting all their affairs on your shoulders."

"One day in the future, you fall, no one will help them, and they can't do anything."

"Do you think there will be more people who are grateful for you, or more people who resent you?"
