"Xi'er!" Jiang Mu subconsciously rolled out of bed and stepped aside.
"Why are you here?"
"Captain, brother..."
Seeing Jiang Mu's actions, Xi'er felt a pang of pain in her heart...
"I'm sorry... Seele didn't know before that she had caused such great harm to Captain..."
As she spoke, Seele lowered her head, and tears began to fall in a steady stream...
"This..." Jiang Mu felt a pang of regret. His actions just now had clearly hurt Xi'er's feelings...
"It's alright, it's alright." Jiang Mu rushed forward and hugged Xi'er, who was crying her eyes out.
"It's all in the past. I've never resented you, really, believe me."
"Waaah!—"
To everyone's surprise, Seele didn't calm down; instead, she struggled even more fiercely...
"Alas—what a tragedy..."
Jiang Mu sighed, then quietly held Xi'er in his arms, gently stroking her back to soothe the little girl's emotions...
………………
"Okay, okay, I'm fine..."
Once Xi'er had calmed down, Jiang Mu released her and smiled.
"Have you calmed down now?"
"Hmm..." Xi'er nodded shyly, her face flushing red as she looked at the puddle of water on Jiang Mu's chest...
"It's nothing..." Jiang Mu chuckled, "But do you know how you got here?"
"Me?" Seele thought for a moment, then mumbled incoherently.
"I...I think I was sleeping in the captain's cabin, and when I woke up...I was here..."
Seele murmured.
"Why would you go to the captain's cabin to sleep if you have nothing to do..." Jiang Mu chuckled.
“Because…because…” Xi’er said softly.
"I miss my captain brother..."
Jiang Mu stiffened, and the expression on his face unconsciously softened...
"This...is not the world we were in before, you know that?"
“Mmm!” Seele nodded quickly. “In my hazy state, I seemed to hear someone saying that this is a world called Teyvat… very different from the world we were in before…”
“Hmm…” Jiang Mu nodded, “It’s very likely that the technology from our previous world will be difficult to implement here…”
However… Jiang Mu pondered to himself.
With the help of the system, can I bring about a modified version of the Industrial Revolution in this foreign world?
“Never mind…” Jiang Mu shook his head and said to Xi’er.
"So, what do you want to do next...?"
"I want to stay by Captain's side!" Seele said without hesitation.
"What I'm about to do is something extremely dangerous!" Jiang Mu said directly, without hiding anything.
After what had happened, he had decided that he would no longer make decisions for them on their own initiative, but would let them make their own choices. He would no longer interfere or make decisions that he believed were "for their own good"...
"Captain, have you forgotten?" Seele smiled sweetly.
"Seele is not a weak little girl, you know. Seele is a genuine S-rank Valkyrie."
“Since you’ve said that…” Jiang Mu nodded and said.
"Alright, but if you encounter a situation you can't handle..."
“Seele won’t be stubborn!” Seele nodded and smiled.
"That's good..." Jiang Mu nodded, then looked a little embarrassed...
"Xier, could you please get off me first..."
At this moment, Seele was lying on top of Jiang Mu in an extremely ambiguous position. The distance between them was... well, let's just say that if Jiang Mu lowered his head, he would touch Seele's flawless, pretty face...
"What's wrong……"
Suddenly, Seele's voice changed, becoming viscous and alluring...
"Captain...do you dislike Seele?"
"Stop fooling around, Little Black..."
Jiang Mu said with some surprise.
"But I didn't expect you to come with Seele too..."
“Yeah…” Xiao Hei rolled his eyes, “I interrupted your sweet moment with the coward, don’t you hate me…”
"Don't mention it..." Jiang Mu chuckled, "I like you and Xi'er very much, how could I dislike them..."
"You you you you..." At this moment, Xiao Hei's brain suddenly went blank, and he couldn't even speak properly...
“Uh…” Jiang Mu scratched his head.
"What's wrong? Is it wrong for a brother to like his sister?"
"..."
Xiao Hei looked at Jiang Mu, unsure of what to do...
"That idiot..."
Thinking this to himself, Xiao Hei said to Jiang Mu.
"I'm going back now, you and Seele can talk..."
As she spoke, Seele's eyes turned a clear blue again...
"Captain, did Xiao Hei say anything strange to you...?"
Xi'er looked at Jiang Mu, and the first thing she said was this...
“No, no…” Jiang Mu shook his head and asked curiously.
Is there anything I can't say?
"No...no!"
Seele immediately shook her head.
"That's good……"
As he spoke, Jiang Mu was about to get out of bed.
"Captain, where are you going?"
"I'll go get another room," Jiang Mu said with a smile. "You're a girl, you can't possibly sleep with me..."
"No! No need!" To everyone's surprise, Xi'er immediately shouted, which startled Jiang Mu.
"What's wrong?"
"See...See also wants to hear Captain Brother's stories..."See covered the lower half of her face with her cup and said softly.
“Uh… okay then…” Jiang Mu nodded and said.
"However, this only applies to today."
"Okay!" Seele smiled happily...
As soon as Jiang Mu returned to bed, Xi'er hugged him.
"Seele?"
Jiang Mu was somewhat puzzled.
"Captain, please tell me a story..."
Seele blinked and said with a smile.
"Okay... alright..."
Jiang Mu thought for a moment and then said.
"A long, long time ago, there was..."
At this moment, in Seele's consciousness...
"Wow, Seele, you're actually taking the initiative now? You're not the coward you used to be?"
Xiao Hei chuckled.
“Because…because…” Seele’s voice still carried a hint of panic.
"Seele has already lost her captain brother once, and this time, Seele will not let go again!"
"Good, very energetic!" Little Black praised. "But Seele, have you thought about what to do next?"
"How do I do it?" Seele asked, puzzled. "What do I do?"
"It's about doing fun things with the captain, like putting his %￥￥……＆ in &……＃￥…………and then ￥＆%＊…"
(Words omitted here, since you probably wouldn't like reading them anyway, right?)
"puff!"
At this moment, Seele's little face was as red as a burning ember...
"What's wrong, Xi'er?" Sensing that something was wrong with Xi'er, Jiang Mu quickly asked.
"N-nothing..."
Seele said hurriedly, but in her heart she was thinking...
"If Captain knew I was just thinking about this kind of thing... what would happen..."
"Ugh, so embarrassing!"
