When her hands covered her head, the subtle sensation was irresistible.
Xu Guang put Youla down and thoughtfully put another coat on her. Then he looked at the remaining three people who hadn't started yet.
Keqing, Mona, and Amber.
Amber's gaze was the most direct, Keqing's was the most indifferent, while Mona's thoughts were wandering, wandering off into random ideas.
Xu Guang hesitated for a moment, then called out Amber's name.
The girl who was called was a little nervous, but she took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Hearing what the other person said, Xu Guang shook his head: "No, you will be going to a place with me later. Of course, the choice is yours. You can choose if you don't want to."
Amber shook her little head.
"How could that be? I'm willing."
Ke Qing looked at the scene and pursed her lips.
She understood; this was a rare moment when Xu Guang's humanity shone through. Usually, this was when he intended to use proper methods to resolve other people's inner conflicts.
As for what constitutes "improper" behavior, all she can say is...
Hangkun.
If you don't understand, just go to kindergarten for two years of refresher courses.
Xu Guang did indeed want to talk to Amber at this moment. He could see the girl's confusion and knew why.
One-sided demands can only lead to unhealthy relationships, so Xu Guang usually fulfills the needs of his characters.
For example, helping General Raiden find his sister and fulfilling the ideal that the Goddess wanted to protect Inazuma.
It's not like we can't do it; there's no need to do something like putting on your pants and running away.
After Amber was ready, Xu Guang took her hand and left the camp.
After traveling for a while and finding a suitable place, Xu Guang snapped his fingers, adjusted the temperature within the selected range, and then set up a fairly comfortable little bed.
After he lay down, he looked at Amber and beckoned, "Come on over."
Amber swallowed hard and stepped forward with a little nervousness.
Wrapped in a blanket and watching the wind and snow, Amber felt a sense of peace settle in.
She pursed her lips, feeling the warmth of the person beside her, and her ears turned red.
Xu Guang looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Amber, how long has it been since you last saw your parents?"
Upon hearing the question, the girl paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It's been a while."
Or rather, it's been a few years.
She grew up with her grandfather, and the images of her parents in her memory were already very blurry.
Xu Guang was not surprised by this answer. Many children in Mondstadt are left-behind children, the most representative of whom is Klee.
However, this leads to a situation where people subconsciously forget the backgrounds of other characters, especially those who are not so popular.
Take Amber, for example.
As a vibrant scout knight, you can spot her almost anywhere in Mondstadt, and she'll always be there to help others with the utmost enthusiasm.
But who will help her?
If you delve into the details of this fiery young woman, you'll find that she was indeed quite pitiful.
As a child, Amber followed her grandfather. After her grandfather left, she single-handedly took over the Scout Knights, a team that existed in name only.
If it weren't for the connection between her and Yura, coupled with her own outstanding abilities, she probably would have lost her confidence long ago due to public opinion.
Amber's grandfather was from Liyue and was a mercenary.
Because he was rescued by the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, he chose to join the Knights of Favonius and later established the position of Scout Knight based on his outstanding strength.
But.
This seemingly promising and powerful reconnaissance knight team fell into decline after Amber's grandfather abruptly left without saying goodbye, even leaving behind the knightly emblem and sword.
That was four years ago. Jean was already the acting captain at the time. Being kind-hearted, she didn't cancel the position and kept her as a True Knight. Meanwhile, little Amber, out of a sense of responsibility, followed in her grandfather's footsteps.
We don't know what kind of sense of responsibility it was, but anyway, this underage girl, who was unloved by her parents and had no relatives, embarked on a life of fighting monsters in the wild and living a precarious existence.
Hmm, Qin also employs child laborers; we can use that as a reason to punish them severely later.
Xu Guang reached out and stroked the girl's head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"I need to tell you something: your feelings for me might not be romantic love, but perhaps more like a longing for family..."
Amber looked at the face of the person next to her and bit her lip.
She wasn't sure if what the other person said was true, but she really just wanted them to give her warmth and comfort.
She liked those big hands, the other person's gentle voice, and the warmth of the voice.
"I……"
Amber was about to say something when she was silenced by Xu Guang, who said with a smile, "Stop. You know I'm not a good person, so I'm sorry, even if you don't love me this way, I can't let you leave."
(Readers can join the fan group: 1002120416. I always put this in the book review section, but the system blocked it for me, and that's how I found out.)
Chapter 387: Next time you can use your mouth to catch it.
I got an unexpected answer...
Amber looked at Xu Guang blankly, still processing the words he had just heard.
Oh ~
Is that what it meant?
very nice.
You are a bad person.
Otherwise, I really don't know how to get close to you.
Amber thought so.
It's a very simple matter: Mr. Xu Guang has too many people around him, and there are many who are more outstanding than her.
If it were a normal relationship, how could she possibly have a chance?
Fortunately, Mr. Xu Guang was not a good person.
Therefore, she can stay by his side.
Xu Guang watched her inner thoughts and felt a twitch.
No, bro, I haven't hypnotized you yet.
How did you end up emotionally manipulating yourself?
This left him somewhat at a loss, which also indirectly showed how pitiful the girl in front of him was.
In that lonely situation, she desperately needed someone to love her.
Xu Guang could only sigh.
He doesn't like people who are too sensible, because that makes it difficult for him to know where to start.
Correspondingly, the female imp type is his favorite.
Finally, fine-tuning it to your liking will give you a great sense of accomplishment.
Holding Amber, he transferred his warmth to her.
Xu Guang smacked his lips: "So what do you think we should do?"
The girl was being held in someone's arms, so only her eyes were showing, and they looked incredibly moist.
"I want to be by your side..."
Even if you know what kind of scumbag I am?
"Ah."
The high-scoring answer was yes.
Xu Guang could only sigh. He had originally planned to engage Amber in a drawn-out battle and gradually break through her defenses, but now it was too late, because the other party hadn't even begun to build them.
This cost him some fun, but it also brought him someone who loved him.
Look what you've done, Mondl.
He just picks up a bunch of left-behind children and makes sure he can win them over easily.
But that's the truth: the less loved and more lonely a person is, the more they crave someone to be with them.
"Okay, I promise you."
Xu Guang made this promise.
He's not a good person, but he keeps his promises.
Amber received a reply, simply humming in response, and then nestled into his arms.
Seeing the girl's appearance, how could Xu Guang possibly continue doing anything?
All I could do was sigh and tell the other person to find a comfortable place to rest.
However, Amber didn't fall asleep because she and Xu Guang were pressed together.
If that's the case, then it means the distance is very close, which means that the sensation is very obvious.
Naturally, Amber was poked in the shoulder.
She took a deep breath and thought of the scene from before, when Mr. Xu Guang used this to connect with Sister Ke Qing.
Does she want to do the same now?
I'm a little shy.
"If you can't sleep, go back first."
Amber paused, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Why?"
Xu Guang raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, 'why'? You've already said that, so what can I do this time? I'll definitely have to wait until next time."
However, being an experienced person, he quickly grasped the meaning behind the girl's words.
"you think?"
Amber glanced awkwardly into the distance, then asked hesitantly, "Don't...you don't want to?"
"I do have that idea, but you should know that you said it yourself."
Amber simply nodded as she listened to the voices of the people around her.
Of course she knew she had made the choice.
But, seeing that everyone else has had some kind of relationship with Mr. Xu Guang, and she's the only one doing nothing, isn't that falling behind?
Xu Guang nodded: "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Of course, you don't have much experience, so let's start with something simple. Last time I helped you, this time you help me."
Amber nodded her little head, then reached out to rub it.
Seeing her like this, Xu Guang rubbed his forehead and said, "Boys and girls are different. You can't just rub against them."
This involves Amber's area of ignorance; she had no idea about this.
Even when doing some handicrafts, they need to be taught by others. Furthermore, they can't be completely ignorant about the opposite sex; it's just that they don't have that concept.
Xu Guang reached out and grasped the other person's small hand, which was slightly sweaty from nervousness.
Actually, this is not bad, as it eliminates the step of adding liquid. Of course, she is not a water goddess, so it's not like she needs anything else but what she has on hand.
"You grab it first, that's right, the Undying Grip, you know what that means, right? Then don't move left or right, move up and down, yes, yes, yes."
He guided the other person step by step onto the right path, and then Xu Guang began to teach them more advanced techniques.
"Don't rush. You need to find the right pace for these things. It's too dry right now, so we need to take it slow. Let me explain it to you first."
As he spoke, Xu Guang touched Xiao Xu Guang with his hand, put two fingers together in front of the girl, then separated them, and slowly explained to her as he watched the silk threads unfold.
"This stuff is called 'first juice,' it's an auxiliary medicine, but there's not much of it. That's when you'll need to help. Go find it on your side."
