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

“I said, it’s time to get up. Even if you’re resting, you can’t keep doing this.”

Xu Guang hummed in agreement, then stretched.

"This feels so good. I might consider sleeping in next time."

Hearing this, Farusian rolled her eyes: "Don't get cocky, this is just the beginning of mechanics, it gets really hard later on."

Xu Guang chuckled and said, "If I can still learn that fast in the future, will the teacher still reward me?"

Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Farusan unconsciously looked away.

"Hmm...maybe, but don't overthink it..."

After she finished speaking, she stood up.

As a result, because I had been using the pillow for too long, my legs went numb, and when I suddenly stood up, I almost fell because I couldn't stand properly.

As the ground drew ever closer, Farusan closed her eyes.

But the expected pain didn't come; instead, a large hand grabbed her waist.

"Oh dear, how could the teacher be so careless?"

Chapter 381: The Ancient Greek God of Soft Hearts

After being helped to her feet, Farusan rolled her eyes at him.

How dare you say that? You should know best why my legs went numb!

However, she wasn't the type to dwell on such things, and once she calmed down, she let go of the other person's hand.

"Alright, alright, let's start the new lesson. Since you're learning so fast, I need to speed things up too."

This time, when Farusan stood on the podium, she didn't take out her book. Hers was just an introduction to mechanical engineering, which the other party had already mastered.

Fortunately, the rest of the knowledge was stored in her head.

No textbooks are needed.

Farusan stood there talking eloquently, then her gaze gradually became vacant.

What the hell?

She looked at Xu Guang, who was already standing beside her, and gasped as she looked at his handwritten draft.

It was an improved mechanism; although it was rather rudimentary, it revealed the other party's talent in this area.

You know, this is something that second-year students would consider, but the other person got it done in just the second period?

Oh my god...

Farusan twitched the corner of her mouth, and for the first time in her life, she began to doubt herself.

She remembered a sentence.

You are a diligent scholar in the Order of the Church. Although your talent is not as good as those monsters, it is still better than that of ordinary people.

But all your life's efforts have only saved those true geniuses the time it takes to have an afternoon tea.

Academia is just that cruel.

With absolute talent, everyone else can only play a supporting role.

The guy in front of me has an absolutely terrifyingly high level of talent.

She had dedicated herself to this research for over a decade, so she could tell whether the other person had studied it or not.

So this guy really accomplished in just two lessons what many ordinary people can do in a year?

Even she, the founder of classical mechanics, took more than a week to figure out.

This guy is terrifying.

Before Farusan could recover, Xu Guang approached her with a smile and asked, "Teacher, I want to ask, does what you said before still stand?"

Farusian was stunned. What did he say?

She was still marveling at the other person's incredible talent and couldn't remember anything they had said before.

But after she calmed down, she remembered.

That was a reward I promised them.

Damn it, I was careless.

She really didn't expect the other person to learn so quickly.

She thought that getting the basics down in one lesson was already a genius achievement, which is why she agreed so hastily.

At the time, she thought that this person probably wouldn't have that speed again, so she didn't hesitate.

Who would have thought that he actually did it?

That's really... impressive.

So you should agree.

Yes, as a teacher, one should indeed pay attention to teaching by example and be a good role model.

How can you break your promise?

So Farusian coughed, recovered from her surprise, found a chair, sat down, and patted her legs as she had done last time.

"bring it on."

Xu Guang, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Teacher, I feel like your legs will go numb if I lie on your lap..."

Hearing this, Farusan nodded, finding it rare that the child would worry about her.

So she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of showing off her muscles.

"Don't worry, the teacher is very capable. Last time it was just because she didn't react quickly enough the first time, this time it will definitely be fine!"

Xu Guang nodded: "Actually, that's not what I wanted to say..."

Farusan was a little confused.

If not this, then what does it mean?

The other party quickly told her.

"If you lie in one place for too long, you'll feel uncomfortable, teacher. Why don't you lie down and I'll snuggle in your arms?"

Farusan's expression changed: "Absolutely impossible!"

If using a lap pillow is merely a way for her, as a teacher, to take care of her student, then lying down and being held by the other person definitely exceeds the limits between teacher and student.

That kind of thing is not allowed!

Xu Guang was somewhat disappointed after hearing Farusan's remarks.

"Is that so? I've always felt that you, teacher, are like a mother to me. I've been an orphan since I was little..."

Not a single word of this is false.

It's just a little bit different from the truth.

Strictly speaking, Xu Guang was indeed an orphan. When he was very young, his parents sold him to human traffickers, and he lived a life of constant wandering.

That's why he wanted to take revenge on those human traffickers at all costs.

In some people's eyes, he was a complete antisocial personality. Although human traffickers are criminals, they should not be tortured and killed in such a cruel way.

But for Xu Guang, as long as these scoundrels are still alive, he will never be able to sleep.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if we trample on all moral bottom lines.

Seeing Xu Guang's genuine emotions, Falushan bit her lip.

She softened again.

There's an old saying that some people have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but Farusan has a soft heart but not a sharp tongue.

She may be a little strict with others, but she would never make sarcastic remarks.

However, she becomes excessively soft-hearted when faced with human suffering.

For example, right now, when she heard her only disciple's lament, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at his pitiful appearance.

But the more I think about it, the less I can control myself.

After an unknown amount of time, Farusan sighed and spread her arms with a hint of helplessness.

"Here you go... This is a one-time exception..."

Xu Guang smiled. If it were someone else, he might have taken this seriously.

But this is Farusian, the ancient Greek goddess of compassion.

They'll definitely agree if you just ask once.

Xu Guang then stepped forward and hugged the other person.

To be honest, there is still a height difference.

He was over 1.8 meters tall, while the other person was only a little over 1.6 meters tall. The 20-centimeter difference made them look more like lovers than teacher and student.

Farusan leaned against the other person's chest, her heart pounding wildly.

She was a little nervous.

Illusion?

Many things about the other person made her feel somewhat lost.

Whether it's the scent of the opposite sex or something else.

"Okay...are you ready?"

Farusan swallowed hard and spoke slowly, while Xu Guang simply shook his head.

not enough.

Sensing the greed and desire for more in the other person's words, Farusan panicked.

Wait, this shouldn't be done.

They are teachers and students.

So she wanted to raise her hand to push the other person away, but when she looked up and saw the sadness in their eyes, she lowered her hand again.

"Then... just a little longer, no more."

Xu Guang readily agreed, but what he was really thinking remained a mystery.

However, he quickly moved on to the next step.

He picked up Farusan and placed her on the yoga mat at the back of the classroom.

As for why there are yoga mats in the classroom, that was mentioned earlier.

This place was previously where he preached and imparted his teachings, so it certainly has all the necessary things to make things convenient.

And now, it's just what he needs right now.

Chapter 382: Let Me Help You

Farusian was flustered when she was suddenly picked up; no, she was extremely flustered.

It's already quite an achievement that she's accepted the current situation; how could it continue like this!

No no no!

She pushed Xu Guang, saying, "We can't do that!"

Xu Guang silently placed the other person on the mat, then nestled in their arms and closed his eyes.

At first, Farusan was worried that something might go wrong, but looking at the situation, it seems to be relatively normal.

At least nothing that shouldn't have happened occurred, right?

The good news is...

However, it's quite strange now.

She lowered her head, looked at the boy lying on her chest, and pursed her lips.

In the past, she would never have dared to imagine such a thing happening.
