Sacrificing Myself: Nine Transmigrations (Genshin Impact)

Liyue, Wanmin Restaurant.

The night sky stretched wide and deep, stars twinkling brightly. The moon hung high like a silver disk, casting its gentle light over the land.

Its clear, luminous glow made everything look crisp, peaceful, and pure.

A soft breeze passed through, making the moonlight dance in the air.

Bathed in that silver light was a small, adorable figure.

"One, two, Qiqi… two, two, Qiqi… Oh no…"

Qiqi had just finished her flexibility exercises and was feeling very relaxed.

She had stretched her body thoroughly.

As a zombie, her body stiffened easily if she didn't move regularly.

That's why she had to do these flexibility exercises every single day.

"Done… with flexibility exercises…"

"What's next…"

Qiqi murmured blankly to herself.

Smiling happily, she picked up her little notebook and looked over the notes she'd written inside.

"Today… one last thing left… read the story about Elliot…"

She muttered as she flipped to the final page.

Sitting atop a wooden beam, swinging her little legs under the moonlight, Qiqi began to read the entry she'd written:

**[Elliot is a very, very gentle person.

He's like...

Like the shade beneath a tree on a hot summer day—I want to fall asleep in his arms.

Like a strong city wall that blocks hurricanes, protecting everyone behind him.

Like a cozy cabin in the bitter cold, offering warmth and shelter when things are at their worst.

I love your eyes—more beautiful than mountains and stars.

I love your smile—warmer than the sun in winter.

I love your big hands—more precious than anything else in the world.

Some people want to use me. Some are afraid of me.

But you…

You're not like them.

You made me feel warmth.

Not the kind of heat that's overwhelming or uncomfortable.

But the kind that makes my heart feel warm.

Thank you, Elliot.

I'll remember you.

No matter when or where—I'll always remember you.

After I died, you were the first person to make me feel truly warm.

And after you left, you passed that warmth on to Liyue.

The people of Liyue treat me kindly. They really like me.

But still…

Qiqi misses you so much.

Qiqi wants to keep living with you.

Qiqi wants to see your smile again.

Qiqi wants to fall asleep in your arms again.

Qiqi will remember the home we built together.

Qiqi will do her stretches every day, just like you said.

Qiqi will write down all the important things in her notebook.

Qiqi will remember the days we spent in the forest.

Qiqi won't forget.

Qiqi will never forget…]**

As she slowly closed the notebook, tears slipped from Qiqi's eyes.

Her cheeks were red, and she sniffled softly.

"Elliot… Qiqi misses you…"

"Qiqi will always remember you… You have to remember Qiqi too…"

"Xiangling said… the Lantern Rite Festival is coming soon… Qiqi wants to watch it with you…"

Still crying, she picked up her pen and quietly began writing about the upcoming Lantern Rite.

The last page of her diary was always being updated.

Everything she wanted to do with Elliot—she carefully recorded it there.

It was a page just for the two of them.

Even though Elliot was gone, to Qiqi, he was still by her side.

She believed that, one day, they would meet again.

"Qiqi will wait for you… wait for you to come back…"

After placing the final period on the page, she finally lifted her head—

And gazed up at the stars.
