"Hey, that's..."
Yingcong saw a familiar fiery red figure in Youla's violet-yellow eyes.
"Yura, are you...dancing?"
Amber came up from behind Ying, with a fiery smile on her face, but no matter how you looked at it, there was some inexplicable charm in her smile.
Ying let go of Yula's hand in a panic.
"snort…"
A gentle tone that was completely different from Ying's words suddenly came from Yula's mouth: "You've been peeking for so long, and now you're coming out?"
"Uh, haha, I was just worried about you, that's why..."
The fiery red girl touched the butterfly headdress on her head in embarrassment, a pair of flying glasses clearly visible under her neck.
"I, I'm leaving first...Yura, thank you for your teaching!"
The light and soft feeling in her hands has not dissipated. Ying stared at Amber, who was slowly approaching. The two of them seemed to have something to whisper, and the blond girl left quickly.
"Huh? Are you leaving so soon?"
Youla's deep blue eyes looked straight at her.
If you look at it with the naked eye from a distance, Youla with light blue hair looks like a noble swan with her back to the white snow-capped mountains. The snow line and the sunlight just form a perfect arc.
"Well, I think I've learned it...I'm going to complete Captain Qin's commission first!"
Ying pulled Paimon and fled away, following him out of the tavern. Famas and Wendy, who were lying on the cliff and continued to peek, were thinking tangledly, which way should they follow?
"Follow Ying."
Famas took the lead to follow in the direction that Ying left. After taking a look at Yula who was as ice-like as ice and Amber who was as passionate as fire, Wendy also chased after him.
What the two peeping gods didn't expect was that they missed a big show.
After everyone left, only Amber and Yora were left by the Cider Lake.
The cider lake surrounding Mondstadt is rippling with colorful luster under the bright sunshine on a clear day, just like Yura, who looks as cold as ice but is showing an elegant smile at this moment.
"Were Yura and Ying... dancing just now?"
For some reason, Amber's rabbit-ear-like headband seemed to be alive with emotions at this moment, and it was pulled down together with the inaudible voice of its owner.
"Yeah, what, Amber...are you jealous?"
Youla smiled and tilted her head, extending her hand to Amber in a gentleman-like gesture of invitation. She smiled softly and said with some unknown meaning, "Do you also want to dance a song with me?"
"Eh, eh?! But I..."
Amber exclaimed, hiding her hands behind her back and twisting them. She was a little at a loss, and scratched her head with a bit of shyness and embarrassment on her face.
"Yu...Yura, you...I don't know too many aristocratic etiquette...dancing...dancing..."
Yura invited the girl to dance before she could say anything.
At that moment, Amber felt that everything around her was frozen by Youla. The hand that she had placed randomly to relieve the embarrassment was placed on her chest, and her golden eyes began to dodge randomly. She was obviously trying her best to avoid Youla's sight, but She always met those lavender eyes involuntarily, and never took the hand stretched out to her.
"You do not want it?"
When Yura saw the girl's reaction with her arms suspended in mid-air, her relaxed demeanor suddenly flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"Sure enough, even Amber you..."
"No... no!" Amber caught the moment Youla took her hand back, her face was still red, and her golden eyes were filled with surprise and more expectation, and so was Youla.
"I've always wanted to be with you..."
"Come along, Amber."
A sly look flashed across Yola's face, and she stretched out her other hand to hold Amber's waist, and the hand held by Amber inadvertently became tightly clasped.
"Yura, um, I'm really not good at dancing..."
"Leave it all to me, just like when we fought together before."
"Um!"
Amber nodded heavily, and her erratic eyes suddenly became firm.
Just like how Youla usually dances with Amber, the dances of nobles are very elegant. When should you hold the other person's hand and when should you wrap your arms around the other person's waist? Each step requires a specific process. , Amber, who was timid at the beginning, became less restrained as the dancing time increased.
The blue finger cot wrapped Amber's hand. With a calm and elegant smile, Yola pulled her closer to her, holding her left hand high, her right hand wrapped around Amber's waist and pressing down, and her right leg and knee pressed against her calf. She seemed to be lying in his arms, looking directly at her with an absolutely dominant attitude, and Youra's sudden move made Amber even more panicked.
Staring into the girl's golden eyes, Yula recalled in a daze the day she first joined the Knights, the heroic red girl standing next to the grand leader Falga. She stepped forward and stepped over everyone's malicious comments. Slanders and whispers came to her across unfounded slander and speculation.
She blocked the people's doubtful and scrutinizing eyes, smiled gently at her, and then stretched out her hand.
"Hello, I am Amber, a trainee scout knight of the Knights of the West Wind. Welcome to the Knights of the West Wind."
Did you hold the hand she extended? Yola couldn't remember it. She only remembered that Amber was really like the afternoon sun, bright and warm, but not dazzling.
"I heard that a guy named Ningguang came to Liyue. You accompanied her on an adventure, and she got sick..."
Amber felt at ease because she was with Youla, whether she was on a mission or dancing together now. Once there was a slight mistake, Youla could always pull her back to the right track as soon as possible and avoid all possible dance steps that might go wrong.
"Eh...?"
Hearing Youla's words, Amber's body suddenly trembled, and she held Youla's hand a little tighter.
"really……"
A trace of sadness flashed in Yola's eyes. The arms around Amber's waist became tighter and tighter, and the hands clasped together gradually increased their strength. At the end of the dance, their bodies were involuntarily pressed together. Yula's eyes also became gentle. Looking at Amber, whose eyes were averting due to shyness, her cheeks moved against hers involuntarily.
"Yu...Yura!"
A warm touch pressed on Amber's face, and it was Youla's hair on the temples that hooked into Amber's ears, tickling her.
This was a situation Amber had never expected, but it was also a scene she had imagined.
Yula is her best friend. Amber has noticed it since the first day she joined the Knights. As a "sinner", she chose to join the Knights. How much awareness does it take to do this? Amber didn't know, she only knew that Yula must be carrying a very heavy burden.
If possible, she would like to be the one to share the burden for Yula.
Amber's free hand couldn't help but hugged the back of Yula's head, and the interlocked hands separated. In the end, it turned into an embrace. After a long time, they reluctantly separated.
"You actually hesitated when I extended an invitation to you, and you went out on adventures with other women behind my back. I've recorded these two grudges!"
"Eh? Does this count?"
"Of course." Yola let go of Amber and simply straightened her hair.
"Amber's face is very soft...it was just revenge."
Youla took Amber's little hand, who was still shy.
"Come on, let's go to my uncle's place and see what he's up to?"
Thinking of the Lawrence family, Yola's eyes became cold again.
