Shenhe had the Red Ropes binding her soul to suppress the volatile temperament of her "Solitary Star and Calamity" fate, but they also made her emotions as detached as an adeptus's.
And so, for her.
What had happened in the past inspired neither hatred nor anger, but more a lack of feeling.
But perhaps getting to know friends like Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon, and spending time with them, had awakened more of her emotions.
She was no longer quite so detached.
That was why, upon hearing about the past now, she had unwittingly shown a trace of sadness.
Even so, she had no particular need to go back and look. After so much time, she was already capable of facing it calmly.
Yet, looking at Yun Jin's concern, Shenhe suddenly found herself unsure how to refuse.
With her old temperament, she certainly would not have cared what Yun Jin said about wanting to help her. If Yun Jin still refused to listen, she would simply have drawn her spear. That was not because her master had taught her to do so.
It was instinctive to her personality.
Just as, outside earlier, she had said she would drive away the people gathered downstairs to watch the opera, she was particularly "direct."
Now, however, she understood a little that Yun Jin was showing concern for her.
Should she accept her kindness, then? Shenhe could not quite decide, so she turned her gaze toward Li Qiuzhi.
She wanted to see what he thought.
When Shenhe looked toward Li Qiuzhi, the others instinctively followed her gaze.
Lumine's and Paimon's eyes already held a hint of resignation. Shenhe really did seem to have some hazy feelings for Li Qiuzhi.
Whenever she ran into trouble, this guy was the one she instinctively turned to!
