Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Looking at Kiana lying peacefully on the bed, her striking white hair spread across the sheets, her closed eyes resembling a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale, waiting for her prince to awaken her with a kiss.

Faced with this sight, Fu Lin sat alone by the bed, her expression conflicted. Should he accept Kiana's love?

And where was Fu Shi now? When was she going to save me?

-------------------------------

Fu Lin unconsciously placed his hand on his chest, feeling the quickened beating of his heart, and showed a bitter smile.

"It seems I already know the answer."

That's right. I, Fu Lin, crave Kiana's body. I'm despicable.

After coming to terms with this, Fu Lin slowly brushed aside her white long hair, gazing at Kiana's tightly shut eyes, her high-bridged nose, and those delicate lips he had kissed countless times before.

Fu Lin, feeling parched, loosened his collar, closed his eyes, and lowered his head to plant a kiss on Kiana's forehead. Then, he prepared to get up and leave, intending to take a cold shower to calm himself.

But how could Kiana let such a good opportunity slip by? Without giving Fu Lin a chance to react, she grabbed him and pulled him onto the bed.

"This is how it should be," Kiana said with a playful smirk as she looked at the stunned Fu Lin. She slightly lifted her head and slid her tongue into Fu Lin's lips.

As their intimacy deepened, Kiana's small hands began to roam, exploring every inch of Fu Lin's skin, subjecting him to an indescribable torment.

When the two finally parted, Fu Lin's already rapid breathing grew even more erratic. His slightly parted lips exhaled warm breaths that brushed against Kiana's face.

Kiana smiled gently, slowly unbuttoned Fu Lin's shirt, and then entwined with him on the bed, initiating another round of passion.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "a full stomach leads to... desires."

...

Fu Shi propped her head up, gazing at the sunny scenery outside the window. She couldn't help but yawn, saying, "It's been so long—why hasn't Fu Lin come to see me yet?"

Fu Hua's voice came from behind as she scooped up the dazed Fu Shi. "Fu Shi, it's time to eat."

"Yay! What's for dinner today?" Fu Shi, who had been missing Fu Lin, instantly forgot her worries upon hearing Fu Hua's words, excitedly waving her little hands.

"Today's menu includes pine nut corn, broccoli stir-fried with chicken breast, and steamed tofu with minced meat," Fu Hua replied.

"By the way, have you gained weight?" Fu Hua adjusted her glasses. Ever since she handed the Parenting Guide to Mei, there was no stopping Mei. Every day, Mei came up with new dishes to feed Fu Shi.

The Fu Shi in her arms indeed felt noticeably heavier than when they first met.

"How... could that be?" Fu Shi pinched her little belly. Could it be that Mei's cooking over the past few days had really caused her to gain weight?

But Mei's cooking was so delicious! Especially the envious and jealous expressions Kiana made on the side—they were too entertaining.

To elaborate briefly, ever since Fu Shi's arrival, Mei, who was once Kiana's personal chef, had devoted herself to studying children's meals. She had long since abandoned the "idiot paramecium."

This left Kiana sulking for days. One day, she seized the opportunity while Fu Shi was napping to draw a turtle on her face, only to be caught by Bronya, who reported her to Mei.

Kiana fell to her knees, shouting to the heavens, "I had barely begun my plan, and the duck betrayed me, causing it to fail mid-course!"

Following Mei's stern scolding, Kiana was punished with completing five volumes of Five Years of Honkai, Three Years of Exams. She barely managed to finish them after staying up all night (with not a single correct answer).

After this incident, Kiana could only swallow her grievances silently, keeping them in her heart as she clenched her fists and vowed, "One day, Kiana will win Mei back from Fu Shi!"

Since then, Kiana has found Fu Shi increasingly irksome but can't do anything about it. After all, Fu Shi has now become the darling of Saint Freya Academy.

Of course, Fu Shi remained oblivious to Kiana's antics. After all, she had been fast asleep at the time and was taken away by Fu Hua upon waking.

"By the way, you once mentioned that Fu Lin was taken away. Who is Fu Lin, and why was he taken away?" On their way to Mei's apartment, Fu Hua glanced at the smiling Fu Shi and finally asked the question that had lingered in her heart for days.

"Haha... do I really have to explain?" Fu Shi looked at the clear gaze of the "old antique" and nervously fiddled with her fingers as she asked.

"I won't force you," Fu Hua replied, shaking her head. Over the past few days, she had come to see Fu Shi as fundamentally good-natured and had gradually set aside her suspicions.

"Aren't you curious?" Fu Shi pressed.

Fu Hua nodded, then shook her head again, saying, "I'm curious, but it's your matter."

"Can't you at least act a little curious? Like, 'Fu Shi, please tell me~' or something? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Maybe if I were in a good mood, I'd tell you."

Fu Shi pouted, looking frustratedly at Fu Hua. She thought the "old antique" had changed a lot, but it turned out to be the same as ever—lacking any trace of youthful energy or curiosity.

"..."

"Sorry, I can't do that." Fu Hua fell silent for a moment, trying to imagine herself saying such a thing, and then sighed.
