Hearing these words, each one piercing her heart, Qin instantly lost all her spirit, her body going limp, and she collapsed onto Gu Chang Ge.
Gu Chang Ge was startled and quickly caught her, his mind moving, and he instantly used spatial teleportation to bring them back to the room where they had rested last night.
After carefully placing Qin on the bed, she raised her head to look at him, "Chang Ge..."
"Qin, don't talk for now."
Gu Chang Ge interrupted her, then took her delicate and boneless hand, controlling the Primordial Element within his body to rapidly flow into her.
As the Primordial Element flowed in, Gu Chang Ge's "Pure and Immaculate" talent also activated.
In just an instant,
Qin felt much better. Not only had her spirit recovered to its peak, but her tired body had also instantly recovered.
After sensing the changes in her body, Qin blinked in surprise and looked at Gu Chang Ge, who was looking at her with worry, with a smile. She whispered, "Chang Ge, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about me."
"Chang Ge,"
"What you said is all true, you're not scaring me, are you?"
Gu Chang Ge's lips twitched, he smiled helplessly, "What do you think?"
"I'm not a Mondstadter. What happens to Mondstadt in the future has nothing to do with me."
"The reason I told you all this is because of you, it's only for you."
Qin fell silent again.
She had been shocked and frightened before.
But now, thinking about it carefully, what Gu Chang Ge had said seemed quite likely to... come true.
No!
It should be said that if things continue like this, everything Gu Chang Ge said will definitely become a reality.
And she,
After giving everything for Mondstadt, she collapses, only to be met with resentment from the people instead of gratitude.
What should she do?
Seeing Qin remain silent,
Gu Chang Ge frowned slightly. Did she still not understand?
After a moment, Gu Chang Ge had a flash of inspiration, "Qin, I haven't been anywhere else, so I don't know much."
"But before I came to Mondstadt, I stayed in Liyue for a while."
"The Liyue Qixing are the leaders, and above the Qixing, the Geo Archon appears every year to guide them. The Qixing then set a grand direction based on the Geo Archon's guidance."
"All the Liyue people do their part to build Liyue together."
"As a leader, why can't you do the same as the Liyue Qixing, control the grand direction, and leave other things to the right people to do?"
"Look at yourself. You handle everything big and small, and even as acting Acting Grand Master, you don't even have an assistant. How long can you last?"
"Qin, you are ultimately just one person, not a machine."
"Moreover, even a machine that never tires cannot handle everything."
"Do you understand?"
Qin: "..."
Seeing Gu Chang Ge's heartfelt persuasion, Qin felt warm inside. She gently nodded, "Chang Ge, thank you, I understand."
"Don't worry, I already understand the shortcomings of my previous approach. I will change."
"But,"
"You can't expect me to change everything in an instant, can you?"
"I don't have that ability. Give me some time, and I will show you a completely new Knights of Favonius, a completely new Qin."
Hearing this, Gu Chang Ge finally felt a sense of relief.
He didn't care at all about how Mondstadt was doing, or the Knights of Favonius.
All he cared about was Qin, and it was good enough as long as she was determined to change.
If she continued to overwork herself, she would definitely die from exhaustion.
Although she possessed a Vision and her strength was among the top of humanity, she was still just a person, her energy was not infinite.
Moreover,
Gu Chang Ge's words were not a warning. From the words of that Mondstadter noble that day, he clearly felt the man's dissatisfaction with the Knights of Favonius.
Even after Qin did so much, there were still people who were dissatisfied.
So,
Once Qin truly collapsed, the people of Mondstadt would not be grateful. Many of them were rotten to the core, beyond saving.
Protecting Mondstadt was Qin's belief, and Gu Chang Ge supported this, but the rest, it was not worth Qin doing.
Looking at Qin, who was smiling, Gu Chang Ge also smiled, "It's good that you understand. You're still young, you have plenty of time to learn slowly, change slowly, no need to rush."
"Alright, it's getting late. I'll be going now. Get some rest."
Hearing this, Qin stood up, like a little wife carefully tidying Gu Chang Ge's collar, "Chang Ge, I'll take care of Barbara's matter."
"I know her dream, and I'll help her protect it."
Gu Chang Ge smiled slightly, "Okay, I believe you can do it."
"After spending time with Barbara today, I found that although she doesn't dare to see you, she respects you very much. I think she doesn't dislike you."
"You're sisters, your relationship shouldn't be so stiff."
"Hmm hmm, I've been busy with political affairs all the time and haven't had time to communicate with her. I'll make time to talk to her later."
Qin looked deeply at Gu Chang Ge and whispered, "Chang Ge, are you really going to leave just like that? Isn't there anything you want to say to me?"
"Huh?"
"I've said everything I needed to say. What else is there to say?"
"Goodnight?"
Gu Chang Ge was completely baffled.
Qin instantly became dejected and shook her head in frustration, "Nothing. Go back, Chang Ge."
As soon as Qin finished speaking, she felt her vision go black, and then she felt a wet sensation on her forehead.
Qin froze instantly, her body tensed, standing in place, at a loss.
After a moment,
Gu Chang Ge's lips finally left Qin's fair forehead. He reached out and embraced the girl's soft body, whispering, "Qin, I think I might have a bit of a crush on you. What about you?"
However,
Qin still stared at him blankly, without any reaction.
Gu Chang Ge immediately burst out laughing, this reaction was too exaggerated, wasn't it?
He thought for a moment,
He didn't plan to stay any longer. He slowly released Qin, turned around and left the room.
He didn't know how long it had been,
Qin finally snapped out of it. She reached out and touched the spot where Gu Chang Ge had kissed her. There was no trace left, but she could still feel a warmth there.
In an instant, Qin's fair face flushed red, as if it was about to bleed. Her eyes were filled with shyness, and she directly fell onto the bed, burying her face in the covers.
"He... how could he do that? This is so embarrassing!"
"But, he said he likes me. Is it really true?"
"Ugh..."
"It must be true. He even kissed me. How could it be fake."
"Hee hee..."
"Chang Ge, actually, I like you too!"
...
