"I'm back."
As expected,
When Kai returned home, Jean was already awake.
The breakfast he had left earlier had also been eaten.
She was currently in the kitchen, helping to wash the dishes.
Seeing Kai return,
A joyful smile immediately appeared on her delicate face, and she nodded.
"Welcome home."
"I noticed the influence of Stormterror had disappeared, so I went out for a walk."
"And brought back some desserts."
Kai casually explained, placing the juice and cake he had gotten from the tavern on the table.
Then he said, "Oh right, when I came back earlier, I saw Klee sneaking out of Mondstadt City."
"I wonder if she went fishing with bombs again. By the way, is her confinement time over?"
Not long ago, Klee had gotten into trouble.
When she was trying to bomb fish in Cider Lake with a new type of bomb, Kaeya, who happened to be passing by, caught her red-handed.
He not only ran across the frozen lake from the opposite bank,
But also used the excuse of attempted destruction of public property and directly threw Klee into solitary confinement.
As for how many days she was confined, Kai really didn't know.
"Her confinement time should have just ended. I didn't expect Klee to sneak out of the city again."
Jean sighed, a little headache-y.
She glanced at Kai beside her, suddenly remembering something.
"But seeing Klee leave the city, Kai, why didn't you call her back… Klee seems to like you quite a bit, doesn't she?"
"That's because I have no resistance to children at all."
Kai scratched his head and laughed.
"When I saw little Klee hugging my leg and pouting, I just couldn't bring myself to be strict."
"How do I feel like Kai deliberately wants me to deal with Klee,"
"And then he goes and plays the good big brother to win her favor?"
After tidying up the dishes, Jean turned around.
She instinctively sensed something was off about this matter.
"I didn't expect you to notice that."
Kai didn't deny it.
"After all, I'm really not good at educating children, so it's better for you to practice more."
"This can also be considered preparing in advance, right?"
"Ugh…"
Her beautiful face visibly reddened, and Jean shyly lowered her head.
She quickly changed the subject.
"Anyway… anyway, let's hurry out and take a look."
"Let's find Klee first."
"Okay."
Kai showed a slightly satisfied expression.
Sure enough… his wife at this moment was simply explosively cute!
…Outside Mondstadt City… A gentle breeze blew across Cider Lake, carrying the faint, unique scent of dandelions.
It made one unable to help but be intoxicated.
Under Jean's skilled search, in just a moment,
Klee, who was hiding by Cider Lake, preparing to bomb fish, was found.
And what awaited her, naturally, was another round of solitary confinement.
"Klee didn't lie, oh, Klee really didn't go to Starfell Lake to bomb fish."
Noticing Kai, who seemed to be standing on the bridge looking at the scenery, being escorted by two Knights of Favonius,
Klee walked past him with her head down.
She said somewhat nervously.
Yes, you certainly didn't go to Starfell Lake to bomb fish.
But the place you bombed fish was Cider Lake!
Can you even play word games now?
Kai looked at the little loli, a little amused, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her head.
He said with a smile, "I saw it all. Little Klee is indeed very honest and doesn't lie."
"So, as a reward, come find me after you leave solitary confinement."
"I'll take you out for a big meal then."
"Wow~ Really?"
Hearing the words "big meal," Klee immediately looked up.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Then I don't want to eat crabs."
"Crabs are the worst, Klee doesn't like shelling them."
"Don't worry, you definitely won't have to shell anything then."
Seeing Klee's sparkling, adorable eyes,
Kai replied with a smile, feeling completely unable to resist.
"Then Klee will go to solitary confinement now. See you in a few days."
Waving her hand,
Under the promise Kai made,
Klee skipped and hopped towards Mondstadt City, even forgetting the grievance of being caught by Jean.
"Really… Kai, you're really good at coaxing Klee."
Jean stood not far away, watching the whole scene.
It wasn't until Klee's figure disappeared that she walked over.
She glared at her husband, a little displeased.
"No choice, after all, Jean has to maintain her dignified side…"
"So, the task of coaxing Klee can only be left to me."
Kai didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed.
Kai, after saying that, he naturally took Acting Grand Master Jean's hand.
"Well, since we've finally made it out of the city…",
"Let's go explore the surroundings."
It was extremely rare for Jean to leave the city.
Generally speaking, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, when she left the city, it usually meant there was a problem in the surrounding areas that required her personal attention.
Therefore, a simple stroll like this was, in a sense, quite a rare occasion.
With the influence of Stormterror temporarily dispelled, there was no doubt that the morale of the entire Knights of Favonius had received an unprecedented boost during this period.
Holding Acting Grand Master Jean's hand calmly, enjoying this unimaginable tranquility, Kai narrowed his eyes slightly.
For a moment, he felt much more at ease.
"This peaceful life…",
"This must be what those guys yearned for most, right?"
Gazing at the distant blue sky, Kai's thoughts drifted back to the days when he was adventuring in other worlds.
Having wandered through countless planes for so many years, Kai had met many people.
There were rebels who, under the king's authority, waved the banner of resistance, fought hundreds of battles without retreating, and overthrew nobles.
There were also heroes who, by their own strength, blocked invasions and protected worlds.
And there were hot-blooded fools who wanted to change this terrible world and eliminate all darkness with their mortal bodies.
But without a doubt, this kind of peace and harmony before him must have been the ultimate, most longed-for goal for them.
"My luck is really good," Kai mused, narrowing his eyes.
Although the world of Genshin Impact was not entirely peaceful, at least relatively speaking, Mondstadt was not as bad and annoying as those other worlds.
Peaceful days were indeed the most wonderful.
"What?"
Hearing her husband's inexplicable sigh, Acting Grand Master Jean looked at him with confusion, seemingly not having heard clearly.
"I said… I'm really lucky to have married you," Kai chuckled softly.
He tightened his grip slightly on Acting Grand Master Jean's hand, and in response, she slowly leaned closer.
"I thought so too," she replied, a rare mischievous smile appearing on her usually serious face.
"I mean… marrying you."
