The elf's singing voice was graceful, and the boy had never heard such a beautiful voice, and under the moonlight, the boy's eyes were a little hazy.

How much is the mind of an elf twice as delicate as that of a human being?

The spring elf immediately noticed something was wrong in the young man's eyes.

"What a heavenly voice!"

The boy muttered in admiration:

"I want to be your only listener forever."

"Haha, is that so? Thank you for the compliment, but you're leaving here soon, and you won't be my only listener. ”

The elf pondered how to say the words of rejection to the boy, but when the words came to his lips, he said them like this.

"I'm getting out of here? Who do you listen to? ”

The boy was stunned, he had never told the spring elf that he was leaving here.

The elf's heart was sour, and Yoki said with some indignation: "Didn't you bring back the love letter of the girl named Alice?"

According to your human habits, shouldn't you become a couple and then get married and have children?

Don't tell me that you're going to let your future wife and children live in that shabby house. ”

Finch stared blankly at the spring elf who was uttering a lot of words, and a mixture of joy and amusement came over him.

"It turns out that you are jealous."

The young man's bland words stirred up ripples in the elf's heart.

The spring fairy blushed (though not recognizable at all.) Exclaimed, "Did you drink too much and start talking nonsense?" I'm jealous, you're saying I'm an elf who will eat the vinegar of a human kid, don't overthink it, boy. ”

Finch smiled slightly, and slowly walked towards the elf with his back to him, his boots sinking into the spring, causing ripples, whether in the spring or in the heart of an elf.

"I ......"

The boy just spat out the first word.

The elf turned and put an index finger between the boy's lips, looking at him with complicated eyes.

"I am a long-lived elemental being, the essence of water, a pure water spirit, and you are nothing more than a human with a lifespan of only a hundred years.

The long waiting, which may seem like a miracle to you, is for us but a moment of happiness, and our encounter may be a mistake, and our emotions must be absurd.

Forget me, boy.

Perhaps, Alice is the right partner for you. ”

The elf wanted to tell the boy these words, but when she saw the boy's loving eyes, all the words eventually turned into foam.

"I'm sorry, Finch."

The spring elf leaned her head against the boy's face. Blocked the boy's unspoken promise with his own kiss.

The moonlight that night was a little bleak and beautiful.

The spring sprite has since disappeared into Finch's world, and at first the boy thought it was due to the elf's shyness, but as time passed, happiness and a smile disappeared from the face of the boy who was waiting by the spring.

A person without elemental vision cannot see elves who do not want to appear.

Whether it is the boy waiting by the clear spring, or the elf who hides in the spring and refuses to see the boy, they know this very well.

Wind and snow rotate, spring and autumn years.

Time smoothed out the edges and corners of the boy and made him mature, and Finch, who was already middle-aged, did not marry and have children, but still stubbornly guarded the clear spring.

In all these years, he had never seen a spring fairy, and Finch sometimes thought to himself, "Maybe she's just a childish dream, a backing concocted by my lonely me." ”

But this idea does not always last long.

The cold kiss was real, like the never-ending breeze of the night in Mondstadt.

Finch stretched out his hand into the air, as if to feel the touch of the breeze, and as if to caress the cheek of some elf he hadn't seen in a long time.

The elf uses a kiss as a rejection of Finch's promise, but Finch foolishly sees it as an endorsement of his promise.

"Are you still here after all these years?"

Finch rubbed the night breeze he had caught in his hand into the water, as if asking a question, as if asking himself.

The elf gently wrapped its body around the boy's hand that had reached into the spring under the water, and a few tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

But she kept reminding herself:

"You are just a traveler who lives here temporarily away from your hometown, and you are not qualified to respond to the promise of your admirer, let alone make an eternal promise based on your eternal life."

A few teardrops floated down the current, leaving several blisters on the clear spring water.

"It's you...... Crying? ”

Finch stared at the bubbles floating on the water's surface.

Legend has it that when heavy rain falls, the raindrops that fall into the pond are mixed with the teardrops of the spring spirits.

Finch looked up at the falling raindrops, and his eyes were a little abrupt.

But after looking at it for a long time, the dark sky in front of him was suddenly shrouded in a blue umbrella.

"It's going to catch a cold, little ghost."

Finch turned his head to look at Nan Shuo, who was looking at him coldly, and asked a little confused, "Who are you?" ”

"Alas......"

Nan Shuo sighed, leaned down and half-squatted beside Finch, pulling the decadent middle-aged man up.

"Seriously, although I expected it to be like this, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I really didn't feel good."

"What are you talking about, why don't I understand?"

Finch's confused eyes gradually cleared, and he looked at Nan Shuo with some fear, although he was also an experienced hunter, but this mysterious man who suddenly appeared beside him with a blue umbrella was obviously not a normal person, which can be seen from the fact that there was no rain stain on his body, after all, in this heavy rain and pouring weather, an umbrella could not protect his own clothes.

"You don't need to know so much."

Nanshuo walked straight into the spring.

"What are you going to do!"

Finch's pupils suddenly dilated a little when he saw Nan Shuo's movements, and he faintly felt that something big was going to happen.

Nanshuo ignored Fincher's words, but said to himself:

"I've been lonely for half my life in reality, at least I'll see you again in my memories!

Don't use any life time as an excuse, face your own mind, bastard elf! ”

Nanshuo inserted his hand into the spring water, and suddenly a terrifying whirlpool appeared in the clear spring water, and the appearance of the whirlpool seemed to make some strange changes around him, and the raindrops that kept falling in the sky stopped abruptly and flowed back upwards one after another.

An elven girl who was no different from a human was pulled out of the whirlpool by Nanshuo and splashed a splash.

The elf's expression was shocked, but when she saw Finch, who was also shocked, the shock turned to guilt and some kind of mixed emotion.

When the splash fell, the boy was the first to speak: "Hello, long time no see." ”

“…… Well, long time no see. ”
