Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 55 Do you like me?



In the next month, Wei Lai fully prepared and wrote eight observation reports.

Elhaysen was barely acquainted with her, because they had agreed on a fixed time and place, which reduced the possibility of Willie's sudden visit causing trouble to him.

Coupled with her unique insights into some knowledge, an occasional discussion between the two would always make him gain something.

However, because of this, Alhaysen's grandmother, the gentle and kind old woman, has not seen Willie again for a long time.

She couldn't help but feel worried when she thought that Mr. Galton had occasionally complained that his disciples were too focused on doing experiments and always forgot to eat and sleep.

"Elhaysen, go see Willie this afternoon." She told her grandson, "Willie should like the biscuits I made very much. You can send some over when you go to see her."

Elhaysen was silent for a moment, "She may not be at home."

But the old woman said: "Let's go and take a look anyway. I haven't seen that child for almost a month. Just go and help me see how she is living now."

Her tone was a bit sad, "Mr. Gelton said before that his disciple rarely interacts with people and always stays in the laboratory. Now that he has gone to Liyue to do engineering, Wei Lai's living ability... …It’s really worrying.”

After all, the last time she came to visit, the fruit she brought was cheated to the point of costing 20,000 molas.

This made it difficult for her to trust the child.

Elhaysen tried to refuse, but his grandmother looked at him with reproachful eyes, which contained the meaning of "Why don't you care?"

Then when the words came to his lips, they turned into a very low voice: "...Okay."

Elhaysen knew where the Welay family lived.

After all, he is about to enter his second year, and there are not many people in the whole teaching institute who are awarded a house by the institute because of his outstanding research results.

One month was enough for him to figure out Wei Lai's character. It was indeed as the rumors said——

She is an enthusiastic academic with great enthusiasm for research, so there is a high probability that she will not be at home at this moment.

Elhaysen had decided to wait for a while in front of her house and leave if no one was there.

The result was unexpected——

"Dong dong dong."

After the polite knock on the door, not long after, there was a burst of footsteps inside.

A moment later, Willie Gelton's face was revealed behind the opened door.

Her expression remained the same tiredness, and the blue-black color under her eyes was so obvious against the white skin that it was dazzling.

His foggy blue eyes were half-closed, and even his long silver-white curly hair was tied back a little messily. At this moment, he looked like some kind of small animal that suddenly saw the light of day.

"Elhaysen?"

Wei Lai's tone also took on a bit of laziness, which actually made people's hearts tremble even more calmly than before.

Elhaysen put aside the irrelevant thoughts, then handed over the object in his hand and said: "Grandma asked me to come and see you."

Willie took the biscuits and her eyes lit up instantly.

His grandmother made the cookies!

When I ate it that night, I felt astonished. And Erhaisen didn't really like eating such sweets, which made her think he had no taste.

"You just leave the guests outside the door?" A calm voice sounded.

Wei Lai said "Ah" after realizing it, looked away from the biscuits, stepped aside half of his body, and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Then she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked uneasily: "Are your shoes fairly clean? Do you need shoe covers?"

Elhaysen: "..."

Elhaysen: "Thank you, no need."

He was still wondering why this senior who was obviously unsophisticated suddenly asked such a question, and then heard the answer immediately.

"——That's good. After all, if it gets muddy, I have to wash the floor. If I don't control it well, the water will damage the instrument."

It turned out to be for the instrument.

Elhaysen stepped into the room. Even though he had seen the equipment room of the Intellectual Sect, he was still severely shocked.

Instruments, manuscripts, star maps, various journals and magazines, as well as strange large and small objects.

This is not so much a home as a messy studio.

For the sake of the cookies, Willie's few interpersonal skills took over her mind. She looked around her "home" and finally focused on a pile of messy books in the corner.

She pointed to the pile of books and said, "Please sit down."

Elhaysen: "..."

It is hard to imagine that Willie Gelton, who is considered an idol in the Order, is such a...casual person in private.

He was silent for a moment, but in the end he did not choose to sit down. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "I thought people like you should cherish books?"

How could a guest sit on a book so casually?

Wei Lai understood the meaning of his words, waved his hand and said, "Then you got it wrong."

Then nothing happened.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Elhaysen: "So, if you invite me in, you have nothing else to say?"

Willie was even more confused than him: "I thought you came to me uncharacteristically because you had something to say?"

No...no.

In fact, Elhaysen just sent a cookie to his grandmother.

Perhaps he suddenly realized that this was really strange, so Willie coughed lightly and searched for a topic.

"Ahem, um, I accepted your grandmother's gift, should I reciprocate it?"

——Forgive her, after all, she doesn’t know much about this kind of etiquette. Two years before she entered the Koroin as a student, she had been working as an experimental subject in the Suron sect’s laboratory!

Where can I get access to these?

There was a fellow experimental subject, but that guy didn't understand these things either. He was straightforward and loved playing cards, and he went out earlier than her.

The usually sensible boy couldn't help showing a suspicious expression.

"You really don't understand at all?"

Willie thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No chance to understand."

Elhaysen keenly grasped the words "no chance" and asked: "Why is there no chance? Even if you don't do it yourself, you should understand it after seeing it too much."

Wei Lai said silently, "...I used to be an experimental subject in Su Lun Sect."

As soon as these words came out.

The dark green pupils shrank, and Elhaysen was a little surprised: "...Experimental subject?"

"It's a long story."

The little siren suddenly came closer to him, blinked his eyes, and smiled uncharacteristically. Even his usually smooth voice suddenly had a heart-wrenching smile.

Elhaysen was in a daze for a moment, and even his thinking was forced to freeze. He could only passively hear her ask: "Do you like me?"

--do you like me?

Elhaysen didn't answer.

After a moment, he composed himself, pulled himself away from this uncharacteristically strong emotion, opened his mouth, and realized that his tone was a bit difficult.

"Senior Sister Gelton, do you need to recommend some doctors at the health home for you?" he said.

Wei Lai was silent for a moment.

Her: "Are you scolding me?"

Elhaysen: "I'm just telling the truth. But one thing worth admitting is that you are indeed beautiful enough."

——He knows what he's interested in.

Willie thought this, and then asked him: "Then what do you think will happen if a weak-willed person sees me?"

Elhaysen thought for a moment, then suddenly understood, and suddenly said: "Did you stay in the Suron Sect as an experimental subject because of your special physique?"

"Yes." Wei Lai said quietly, "From the time I can remember, until two years ago, there were several batches of scholars who studied how to suppress my physique, but they all failed."

"In the end, because the hospital was really unwilling to approve such a costly and fruitless project, the project was stopped. They only released me after they ensured that I could control my expression and tone."

Who would have thought that she would actually become the leader of the Myungron Sect?

But because she lives in seclusion and doesn't like to show up, the hospital tolerates her existence. She was even asked to give lectures because she was too reclusive, which was really rare.

What's more, with an academically crazy senior as a spiritual guide for other students, why not?

But even so, Wei Lai still chose to use his own money to appoint the scholars from the Su Lun School who participated in the experiment to continue the research, hoping that one day there would be results.

But after listening, Elhaysen only understood two things.

First, part of the reason why she is sought after by ordinary people is because of her special physique that confuses people.

The second thing is that the Suron sect has been researching for many years but there is no solution, so this physical condition will probably never get better. If he continues to have contact with her, he will be troubled for the rest of his life.

...Being troubled will last a lifetime.

When he thought of this, Elhaysen stood up suddenly: "It's time for me to go, goodbye."

Then he left without any hesitation.

Not only did he not look reluctant to leave like ordinary people, he even walked in a hurry.

"Wait, so should I go back-"

……present.

The boy has disappeared.

Wei Lai: "..."

It really doesn't work... Why don't you ask Sano?

He left the laboratory earlier than her, so he should know this better than she does, right?

--small theater--

Record: Alhaysen's will is stronger than ordinary people, which is worthy of appreciation. If he wasn't so arrogant, he might be a friend.

Recorded by: Willie Gelton.
