Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 117 Warmth to Share with You

When Leyi returned to the fireplace house, night had already fallen, and the clock had struck past ten o'clock.

"So, in the end, you still went and carried out Plan B."

As Le Yi stepped into the fireplace house and pushed open the door, Kai Le's voice, like a thunderclap, came from behind it: "Holy crap!"

This sudden remark made Le Yi's heart skip a beat, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

After calming her mind, which was in complete turmoil from the shock, Le Yi spoke softly.

"Kailer, it's so late, why are you still here?"

After hearing this, Kailer could only sigh helplessly and say, "I'm not the only one here."

Upon hearing this, Le Yi felt a chill run down her spine, as if countless ice needles were gently pricking her back. She then stiffly turned her head away.

Then they discovered that Peruvieri was standing on the other side of the door, and her expression was like the calm before a storm.

With a hint of displeasure, she questioned, "You lied to me. You promised you wouldn't carry out Plan B."

Upon hearing this, Le Yi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, knowing she was in deep trouble. She tried to explain, "No, Peruvieri, I didn't..."

But before he could finish speaking, Peruvieri's face darkened, like frost in winter, and she said:

"Family ties, friendships, and romantic relationships are most vulnerable to lies and deception. You said that."

Upon hearing this, Le Yi stood there stunned, and the two stared at each other, as if time had frozen at that moment.

After a long while, Le Yi finally spoke with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, Peruvieri, I..."

Upon hearing this, Peruvieri said no more, slowly turned around, and like a withered petal, returned to her room.

Upon seeing this, Le Yi felt a mix of emotions; he didn't want to lie to Peruvier.

As Peruvieri said, those were words that Ley himself had said, and he certainly understood the excruciating feeling of being deceived by the person closest to him.

But he had to find Chehui; if he didn't find her, the rest of the plan would be like a tree without roots, impossible to execute.

At this moment, Kailer gently patted Leyi's shoulder from behind and said softly, like a spring breeze, "Go and coax them, they both know now."

Upon hearing this, Le Yi sighed in utter dejection, looking like a wilted eggplant.

Then he took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Keller, saying, "This letter was asked by Chehui to be given to you."

Upon hearing this, Kailuo casually accepted the letter. As for Leyi, she eventually walked back to her room with a heart full of fear, just like a child who had done something wrong.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the room, he saw Clementine sitting on the bed, wiping away tears. The tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Lily and Peruvier were constantly comforting Clévius from both sides, like two guardian angels.

As soon as Leyi entered the room, Claire saw him and immediately ran towards him without hesitation, hugging him tightly.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, "Le Yi, why, why did you hide this from me?"

Am I just a burden to you? Seeing this, Le Yi felt as if she were being pricked by needles.

He then gently carried Claire back to the bed, holding her tightly in his arms.

It was as if he wanted to pass on all his warmth to her. After comforting her for a long time, Claire gradually stopped crying.

At this moment, Leyi spoke up, saying, "I'm sorry, Claire, I've never thought of Claire as a burden."

I was just afraid Clementine would worry because of it. I was wrong. I knew perfectly well that lies wouldn't solve anything.

"But I still did it. It was my fault. I shouldn't have hidden anything from Clementine."

At this point, Le Yi gave a wry smile, a smile like the winter sun, warm yet tinged with helplessness.

He gently took Claire's wrist and slowly pressed her hand against his face.

"But look, I'm not injured either. This face, and everything about me, belongs to Clementine."

Of course, I wouldn't easily allow myself to suffer serious harm, and I also promised Claire...

I tell Clementine stories every day and lull her to sleep. I promised Clementine...

I absolutely must keep my promise, so I won't allow myself to encounter any unexpected situations before then.

As she said this, Leyi gently kissed Clementine's forehead, and Clementine's mood improved completely.

Then he gently began to pinch Le Yi's face, and Le Yi closed her eyes, letting Kreewei pinch her face.

Claire remained curled up in Lei's arms, seemingly lost in thought.

Leigh didn't say anything, just quietly held Claire, as if time had stood still. After a long while...

Claire then slowly spoke, "Lei," and hearing Claire call her name, Lei responded, "Yes, I'm here. I've always been here."

Upon hearing this, Claire thought for a moment, then, seemingly a little embarrassed, lightly parted her red lips and slowly spoke,

"Leyi, between me and Peipei, who do you like more?" Leyi asked upon hearing this question.

They were stunned. The atmosphere in the room had been heavy and sad at first, but now Clementine had suddenly asked such a question.

Lei, who was initially immersed in sadness and grief, was now pulled back to reality by this question, even by Peruvier, who seemed somewhat distracted and dejected.

Upon hearing the question, she snapped out of her daze and looked at Leyi. Leyi met Peruvier's gaze, completely at a loss for words.

He was completely baffled as to why Clementine would suddenly ask such a question; she seemed to have never asked him anything like it before.

Peruvieri was also curious, but not for why Claire would ask that question; rather, he shared Claire's curiosity.

So, who does Le Yi like more? But she knew this wasn't the time to worry about such things, so she gave Le Yi a wink.

Leyi understood Peruvieri's meaning, and promptly kissed Clover on the cheek, saying, "Then, of course, it's my dear Princess Clover."

"Lei's favorite will always be Clementine, and that will never change," Lei said, then gently rubbed her forehead against Clementine's.

Upon hearing this answer, Claire blushed slightly, but after a long while, she spoke again softly, asking:

"Leiyi, if one day Peipei and I were both in danger, who would you save first?" Upon hearing this question...

Le Yi was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and sat frozen on the bed. This question reminded her of an age-old problem on Earth.

So, if I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first? Leyi never imagined she would one day face this very question.

Finally, completely at a loss, he looked at Peruvier again, and Peruvier, without hesitation, gave him another wink.

Seeing this, Le Yi smiled awkwardly again and casually said, "Of course I have to save my Princess Clementine, no matter what the circumstances."

"If Clementine is in even the slightest danger, I will rush to her aid without hesitation and save my beloved Clementine the moment she is in danger."

Upon hearing this response, Clementine fell silent again, the phrase "my favorite" echoing repeatedly in her mind.

But another voice echoed in his mind, "Love is selfish," a phrase that kept reverberating in Claire's head.

At that moment, Claire snuggled her face closer to Leyi's chest, and Leyi sensed that Claire seemed a little strange.

He noticed that Clayway seemed to be struggling with something, but he didn't interrupt him.

He didn't understand what Clementine was thinking, but no matter what he said, he just needed to try his best to be better to him.

Because I no longer want to see Claire sad and upset.

After a long internal struggle, Clementine finally opened her eyes slowly, her gaze faintly shining, as if making a final stand.

"Then, what about Peipei?" After this question was asked, the room fell silent again.

Le Yi didn't know how to respond to that, and then she started to get anxious.

Peruvieri, seeing this, sighed helplessly and then moved closer to Lei.

He gently stroked Clevis in Ley's arms and said, "Clevis, don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself."

"If Clementine gets into danger, we'll go crazy," Clementine said, her big eyes widening in surprise.

Like a shining gem in the night, it flashed a light, then broke free from Leyi's embrace and directly hugged Peruvier, who was standing next to Leyi.

And in those jewel-like eyes, tears began to glisten. Claire had just been struggling with her inner desires.

And she couldn't make a decision, but this hug already proved her decision. Then, Claire began to speak to herself:

"Even with this candlelight, without Peipei, no matter how warm it is, it cannot illuminate the darkness in my heart. I wish to share this warmth with you."
