Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 184 Next stop, Winter

The encounter with Guo Beng was sudden, and the separation was equally sudden.

Cheng Yan stood at the port off the island, looking at the country collapsing as he turned his head away.

"Bengzi, I'll write to you when I get to a new place."

Guo Beng raised his voice very loudly, and after deliberately turning his head for a long time, he finally faced Cheng Yan.

"If you want to leave, leave quickly. It's up to you to send a letter or anything like that."

His eyes were wider than usual and his eye sockets were red. He just glanced at Cheng Yan and then looked away.

"I don't care about the rest, but there is one thing: you are not allowed to get hurt again. No matter who the opponent is, if they want to retaliate against you, you must fight back fiercely. If you can't beat them, call me. No matter where you are, I will rush over."

Cheng Yan felt warm in his heart as he looked at Guo Beng with tears in his eyes.

"I know, I know you will always stand by me, don't worry, I won't be bullied by others."

Guo Beng glanced at him sideways, wanting to tell him not to be bullied even if he met the person Cheng Yan mentioned he liked. But when the words came to his lips, he just glared at him.

"Your future lover must pass my test."

Cheng Yan curled his lips and was about to board the ship, but he quickly ran down and rubbed Guo Beng's head.

"No problem. When I find him, I will bring him to you."

There were countless things he wanted to say in his heart. Even though they had been together all the time during this period, Guo Beng still felt that the time was too short.

"Your ship is leaving."

Guo Beng pursed his lips and looked up at Cheng Yan's face.

Cheng Yan waved at him as he walked towards the boat, "I'm leaving now. Don't miss me too much. Just think of me occasionally."

Guo Beng clenched his fist, "Who has the time to miss you? Go away!"

All that was left in his eyes was a smile from Cheng Yan as he turned around, and then he could only see the big ship going farther and farther away.

Guo Beng loosened his fingers as if he had lost strength, and watched the sail gradually disappear from his sight.

There were familiar footsteps beside him, and before Guo Beng turned around, he could already hear the voice of the Eightfold Son of God.

"Oh, the two little guys have become one little guy. How about moving to the castle tower, Kunihiko-san? Or, Narugami Taisha can reserve a room for you."

Guo Beng turned around, leaving only the back of the Eightfold Divine Son.

"Don't bother."

When Cheng Yan said he wanted to leave, Guo Beng had already started thinking that Cheng Yan had a very clear goal. Although Guo Beng did not support Cheng Yan in pursuing this goal, it was still what Cheng Yan wanted to do most.

But what about myself? I escaped from that place and went to the Ta'er Sword Forge. Now the sword forge has been closed, and my identity did not bring trouble as expected. I even have people like family around me.

But is this what you are pursuing?

Guo Beng felt confused. He had never left Inazuma since he was born and had never seen the beautiful scenery of Liyue and Xumi as described by Guo Beng.

A thought quietly arose in his mind, and he thought, go see the outside world.

There is no destination, no route, just go for a walk outside and see if the scenery is as beautiful as Cheng Yan described.

……

The road to Zhidong is more complicated than Cheng Yan had imagined.

Cheng Yan's lips became stiff as he listened to the crew members on the ship describing how remote and barren Zhidong was.

"System, I want to skip class, can I teleport directly to Winter Solstice?"

[…From a universal perspective, the host has unlocked the teleportation function, so it is possible]

Cheng Yan sat up straight abruptly. "Then you just watched me get on the boat like this? Can't I go directly to Zhidong?"

[Although the host can teleport freely, you cannot do this in front of others, and you cannot let anyone notice that your actions are abnormal, otherwise there may be side effects.]

Cheng Yan calmed down immediately, "The side effects will affect the people around me, right?"

【Yes】

Cheng Yan sat back in his original position, his thoughts of speculation gone. The experience of Guizhong still made him shudder when he thought about it. He could not bear the people around him to be affected by the slightest negative influence, so, the road was long.

[Host, don't worry. The climate of Zhidong, Liyue, and Inazuma is very different. You should also adapt to it on the way.]

Cheng Yan nodded seriously, "I really need to adapt."

You also need to think carefully about where and how to get information about Zanzan.

The system only told him that Zazan was in Zhidong, but refused to reveal Zazan’s current identity, saying that it was afraid that it would affect his performance.

Cheng Yan had actually prepared himself mentally, thinking that he would win back Zanzan no matter what, even if he had to pester her. But every time Cheng Yan thought of Zanzan, he couldn't help but imagine him ignoring him. If it really came to this, and he was rejected repeatedly...

Cheng Yan was about to cry.

"Zan Zan, please don't let anyone else appear around you..."
