In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Just as she was still feeling sentimental, Xu Guang pulled out a small, interactive toy from somewhere.

"I can see what you're thinking. Since you said I'm not good enough, then you can wear this tonight."

Ke Qing clicked her tongue.

Shouldn't you have given me a wicked smile and then held my hand, as per the normal procedure?

This is?

Xu Guang didn't care about all that. After he helped Ke Qing put it on, he really didn't come out again.

Ke Qing didn't sleep a wink all night.

This is normal, after all, there is such a thing.

On the second day, Keqing had dark circles under her eyes and was in a very bad mood.

Putting aside the fact that she was neglected, just the last thing she was given was enough to make it impossible for her to maintain a good mood.

After Xu Guang got up, he still ignored her, but instead woke up the others and prepared a lavish breakfast.

Then he pulled Keqing to a corner to wash up.

Ke Qing stared blankly at Xu Guang, who was brushing his teeth and checking his hand.

"You look great, the moisture level is really high. You didn't wear an inner layer yesterday, did you?"

Ke Qing answered truthfully, "No."

If you wear it, you won't be able to wear it the next day.

Because they're wet, they'll stick together.

She wasn't given any antifreeze, so this could only lead to one outcome.

That means it will freeze.

literal meaning.

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Guang nodded, put the toy away, and continued brushing his teeth and washing his face.

He also helped Keqing warm up, but never crossed the line.

Seeing that the other person was about to leave after washing up, Ke Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything.

She's not the type to take initiative, especially not in this kind of situation.

Therefore, unless the other party does something, she is unlikely to speak first.

She refused to believe that this guy would really have no interest in her.

With this in mind, Keqing quickly washed up and returned to the camp.

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued on their way. During this time, Xu Guang did not speak to Ke Qing, and Ke Qing also endured it.

It was evening again, and the same routine as yesterday continued, except that Keqing still didn't have any scenes.

Even after they finished, a group of people gathered around the campfire to discuss the monsters they would hunt the next day.

My fingers are trembling.

Ke Qing was a little angry.

What do you mean?

Are you really not coming to see her anymore?

That makes sense. After all, there are so many girls to choose from, what would be the point of having her?

I'm just really annoyed.

Do you really treat her like she doesn't exist?

it is good!

She would absolutely not pay any attention to him!

Chapter 392: This old popsicle is absolutely authentic.

Why are you ignoring me!?

Ke Qing pounced on him and pinned Xu Guang down. She knew that if he wanted to, she couldn't restrain him with her strength alone.

So what does this mean?

He distanced himself from her while simultaneously giving her opportunities.

Faced with this situation, Xu Guang simply smiled and then revealed a number: "Nineteen hours. I didn't expect that you, Ke Qing, couldn't even last twenty-four hours."

Keqing, who was riding the horse, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Guang said slowly, "It's nothing, just an experiment to see how long you can last, or rather, how long I can last."

At this moment, Qing finally realized what was happening and felt the scalding heat.

Xu Guang continued, "If you win, I can grant you any reasonable wish. If I win, I'll treat you to an old-fashioned popsicle."

Ke Qing gritted her teeth: "How could such a thing happen? I, one of the parties involved, didn't even know about it!?"

Xu Guang chuckled: "So now you've seen it, but what you said makes sense, it's really unfair to you. How about this, I'll grant your wish, but you still have to eat the old-fashioned popsicle, okay?"

Ke Qing clicked her tongue.

It's like you'll put on your pants and run away after I finish eating, and then you'll still agree to whatever I ask for.

Xu Guang corrected him: "That's different. If it were the normal procedure, after you finish eating, if you ask for too much, I would make you eat it a second time. Now, one time is enough."

Keqing rolled her eyes.

Is it really up to her to decide how many times this happens?

It all comes down to what the other party says.

However, now that she understood, she wasn't so angry anymore; she just stared coldly at Xu Guang.

"Then go get it out. I'd like to see what this old popsicle is all about."

Xu Guang, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and showed the other party some of his best items.

Ke Qing was somewhat confused.

Is it really an ice pop?

Liyue has popsicles. Some merchants and wealthy families collect ice in advance during the winter and store it in their cellars, which they then sell or eat in the summer.

This isn't anything special, so why is the other party so fixated on it?

Xu Guang noticed her confusion and slowly explained, "Mine is the extra-delicious version. Didn't you notice that this popsicle is pink?"

Ke Qing was still a little confused. Was it just a different color?

There's no difference.

But seeing the strange smile on the other person's face, she quickly understood what it meant.

"You added...that thing?"

Xu Guang gave a thumbs up: "You're really smart."

Ke Qing understood, but simply shook her head.

She thought it was something else entirely.

It's not like I haven't tried this kind of play before, although it's been very rare.

Xu Guang noticed the other person's ease and simply smiled.

This pink, topping-enhanced popsicle is indeed edible, but it doesn't specify where to eat it.

There are many more edible parts of the human body than just the mouth.

His previous "Song of Ice and Fire" with Yola was just the surface; if we had to say, the real version would be the internal one.

Thinking of this, he smiled happily, already anticipating the other person's next expression.

The advancing team stopped because they were two people short.

They're not stupid; how could they not realize that the most crucial person in the team, Xu Guang, is missing?

Keqing's disappearance was also expected.

Ultimately, the only one who didn't go into the tent last night was the other person.

Dixia should have been unhappy, but considering that the other party had been quite diligent last night, she pretended that nothing had happened.

Only Amber glanced into the distance, seemingly unintentionally, though she couldn't see anything, but out of curiosity.

She was also curious about what Mr. Xu Guang and Ke Qing were going to do.

Is it about what happened last time?

She had never done that with Mr. Xu Guang before.

I don't know when I'll be able to participate in any part of it.

……

"Ha, are you kidding me?"

Ke Qing's expression changed slightly as she pointed at Xu Guang, her face showing shame and indignation.

She took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"How could I possibly agree to that!"

She thought eating meant using her mouth, but this guy kept talking about what?

Eat there!

This is the exit, not the entrance!

Xu Guang shook his head and slowly explained, "You just don't understand at all. You need to know that many drugs need to be in the human intestines to take effect. Taking them directly is too slow. The way I recommend you take them will make the best use of their effects!"

Seeing the other party spouting nonsense with a straight face, Ke Qing could only grit her teeth and shake her head.

If such a place had indeed been cultivated by the other side, it had never been as outrageous as it is today.

Ice cubes? How could that be possible!

Seeing that she was still unwilling, Xu Guang softened his tone.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Listen to me carefully. I've modified the effects of this beforehand, so it won't be that cold. Besides, don't you have anything you want to do? Just one try, and you can get a wish in return."

Listening to this patient and persuasive guidance, Ke Qing fell silent.

She knew this was their usual tactic, and it was very effective.

She does have things she wants to do, like becoming stronger or having an easier job.

It's not that Liyue will suddenly become prosperous just because it's handed over to these mortals to govern. It will require unimaginable effort and sweat.

So she nodded.

This isn't about giving in; it's about understanding that even if you refuse this time, the other party will definitely bring it up again next time, and refusing then won't be so easy. You might even encounter more outrageous demands.

Besides, there's no reason for the other party to lie to her.

It shouldn't be that cold anymore...

Thinking about it, Ke Qing lay down.

Then I watched as the other person put on a mask and leather gloves, and even changed into a set of antibacterial clothing.

what the hell! ?

Xu Guang coughed slightly: "This is to make some preparations, so you won't run into trouble later."

Ke Qing raised an eyebrow: "Troublesome?"

What kind of trouble could she possibly encounter...?

Wait!

what?

Ke Qing gritted her teeth and watched the other person's fingers move.

Stop! What are you doing?!
