Even though she had only known Si Luo for a short time, she subconsciously hid behind him. Rosalia knew exactly what this meant.
Not to mention that she knew very well that Barbara had a very simple character. As long as they had a good impression of each other, she could coax her a little and they would probably get married with a baby.
"Well...I...I understand..."
Barbara responded weakly, her tender little white hands gently grasping the corner of Si Luo's clothes. It was not until Rosalia's figure left her sight that the girl breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Si Luo.
"What's wrong? You look like you're a little scared of Miss Rosalia."
Si Luo also turned around, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, chuckled and spoke.
This level of contact obviously exceeded that of ordinary friends, but because of yesterday's experience and the girl's liking for him, Barbara did not feel too strange, and even took the initiative to move closer to Si Luo's arms.
"No...it's just that Sister Rosalia is always very serious..."
Barbara responded quickly. She didn't want Si Luo to misunderstand the other party because of her.
"When I was commissioned to leave Mondstadt before, it was Sister Rosaria who was responsible for protecting me."
Barbara is not the type who is good at fighting. Even with the Eye of God, her fighting power is only at the level of an elite knight. It is even difficult for people to feel at ease because of her lack of combat and social experience.
"Yeah."
Si Luo nodded, and at the same time took another step, continuing to walk along the road with the girl.
"Speaking of which, Barbara, why are you here?"
Generally speaking, prayer pastors do not have holidays and spend most of their time in the church praying and providing medical assistance to patients. This is why Barbara would take the initiative to take on the commission to collect herbs on weekdays.
After all, that was one of the rare times when she could leave Mondstadt and enjoy the scenery outside.
"Well…"
Somewhat unexpectedly, Barbara did not answer directly, but showed a rather conflicted look. Her petite body unconsciously moved closer to Si Luo, and she began to seek the sense of security he brought.
"that…"
"If it's hard to say it, forget it. Don't force it."
After noticing the girl's unusual reaction, Si Luo took the girl into the square next to him and sat down on a bench in a remote corner.
Compared with her older sister Jean, Barbara's figure is actually more like a girl's. And unlike Jean's tight skin and mature figure after exercise, the girl's skin feels very smooth. In addition, because she possesses the Water God's Eye, her extremely moist posture is probably the envy of countless girls.
"no…"
The remote corner was very quiet, and the girl in Si Luo's arms felt the warm embrace beside her, and her emotions quickly calmed down.
"Actually, I'm planning to go to the Adventurer's Guild today."
"Are you short of medicinal materials again?"
"No... Well, it's actually my fault..."
Barbara hesitated for a moment, but finally told him what had happened before.
Chapter 67 Pretending to be a Boyfriend
Barbara is not only a priest of the West Wind Church, and she usually uses the water element to heal the sick and injured, but she is also an idol of Mondstadt.
According to her, Klee's mother, Ms. Alice, once brought her a storybook when she was very young and told her some stories about "idols". This made her yearn for this kind of career that can bring joy to people at a very young age.
As she grew up, she learned from the stories that Ms. Alice had told her, began to study singing hard, and became the first recognized idol in Mondstadt.
Although this job added a lot of burden to her, Barbara felt very satisfied every time she saw the happy smiles of the children. However, as her fame grew, the troubles she encountered in her daily travels also increased.
There was even one time when she was stopped on the street and it took her several hours to escape from the crowd. Although Rosalia, who was with her, helped her to isolate herself from the fans, she was surrounded by a group of people greeting her and could hardly move. She really didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.
This also resulted in her not completing the commission for the day, causing a patient to wait one more day for treatment.
It was from that time on that every time Barbara had a commission outside Mondstadt, she would choose to leave in the early morning, trying to avoid the time period with the heaviest traffic.
As for this time, Barbara found that every time she left the church recently, she would see someone coming up to her and asking about her well-being. Although she did not do anything else, it still caused her a lot of trouble.
Therefore, she planned to send a commission to the Adventurer's Association to see if she could ask the client to come forward and persuade the other party.
"I see... this is what you call a fanatical fan, right?"
It was obviously just a very simple matter, but Barbara talked about it for a long time, even talking about her childhood. However, Si Luo did not feel bored. He listened to the girl's chatter very seriously. Only after she finished did he chuckle and continue the topic.
Given Barbara's beautiful appearance, gentle personality, and extremely pleasant singing voice, it is not uncommon for a fan club to exist in Mondstadt. And the man who caused trouble to Barbara was obviously not a malicious person. He was probably just a fanatical fan who wanted to attract the other party's attention by showing concern for his idol.
"Well...I...I'm not sure..."
Barbara responded in a low voice, and at the same time she noticed that Si Luo had placed his hand on her thigh at some point. The strange feeling she had never experienced before made the girl instinctively tense her body.
"In short, there's no need to go to the Adventurer's Association for this matter."
Si Luo was very skilled in taking advantage of the situation. He stretched out his hands and hugged the girl's slender waist tightly, holding her in his arms like a couple.
"Eh?"
"I have a great way to make him never bother you again."
A faint smile appeared on Si Luo's face, but unfortunately Barbara was too naive and didn't know that this smile came from a hunter. She simply thought that Si Luo wanted to help her, so she smiled happily.
"really?"
"Of course~"
Seeing this innocent little white rabbit fall into his trap, Si Luo's smile became more intense. He turned his head to the side and leaned down to whisper in the girl's ear.
"Generally speaking, fanatical fans will regard their idols as the most perfect existence...so as long as Barbara lets them know that you are not so perfect, they will choose to give up."
"..."
"For example, let him know that you already have a lover~"
“Lover?!”
For the innocent girl, a romantic relationship is equivalent to being married. After hearing Si Luo's words, her first reaction was to subconsciously substitute him for the identity of a lover, which undoubtedly made her even more shy.
"Don't worry, it's just pretending. I just need to find someone of the opposite sex who can make him feel ashamed."
Si Luo almost said his own name, and after hesitating, Barbara didn't think too much about his words.
It’s not that Barbara didn’t want to find him, but the girl simply didn’t want to cause trouble for him, so she subconsciously ignored him.
"But...but I don't know such a person..."
As a prayer pastor at West Wind Church, Barbara usually came into contact with people who came to seek medical treatment after being sick or went to the church to pray. And because of the education she received since childhood, she would deliberately keep a distance even from children of the opposite sex. Apart from Si Luo, she had no contact with other opposite sexes.
"Huh? How can you not recognize him? Isn't there one right here?"
Judging from Barbara's expression, it was unlikely to expect her to speak first, so Si Luo did not keep the topic in suspense and smiled and turned the topic to himself.
"Eh?!"
"Besides, I don't trust anyone else to play the role of Barbara's lover~"
"..."
Si Luo's words could easily lead people to misinterpret the situation. Even the innocent Barbara was affected. Her fair cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How about it, do you want to try it?"
"…Um…"
After waiting for a few seconds, Si Luo heard the girl's weak response.
...
Half an hour later, near the West Wind Church located at the highest point of Mondstadt, Miss Barbara, a very popular prayer minister in Mondstadt, actually walked up the stairs with her arm around a man.
This overly abrupt scene made everyone who noticed her freeze in place. Among them, the fans who admired the girl were so shocked that they suppressed their grief and began to confirm Si Luo's identity with the people around them.
Not to mention those who had seen Si Luo, all of them secretly observed the two's actions with eyes full of gossip.
There is no way. For the people of Mond, the sudden appearance of Si Luo, the Honorary Knight, has become a hot topic. Especially after some gossip about the acting leader Qin and him spread, many people have been paying attention to the interpersonal relationships of this Honorary Knight.
As Barbara is an idol of Mondstadt, the two of them walking together are simply two walking topics of conversation. Many people are even looking forward to telling gossip to their friends later.
"Is this... really okay?"
Although she was used to being stared at, this time, Barbara experienced a completely different feeling from usual.
Chapter 68 Falling into a Trap
"Don't worry, I will definitely behave well~"
Si Luo responded confidently, while silently enjoying Barbara's slightly raised heart, and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.
Although she is a little different from her sister Qin, a girl should look like a girl. This perfect size is also the most suitable for Barbara.
"Well…"
Although Barbara was still a little conflicted, she didn't say much in the end. She just blushed a little, held Si Luo's arm, and followed him to the West Wind Church.
"Miss Barbara!!"
Just as the girl brought Si Luo to the stairs in front of the main entrance of the church, a man who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time noticed Barbara's figure and almost subconsciously trotted towards her.
However, he was very restrained and stopped two meters away from the girl, and then he noticed the strange figure beside Barbara.
"Ms. Barbara, who is this?"
Albert's heart suddenly lifted, especially after he noticed the pure and innocent Barbara tightly hugging the stranger's arm. The indescribable complex emotions made him almost subconsciously take two steps back, and at the same time asked with a hint of luck.
If Barbara introduced Si Luo as one of her relatives, he would be able to accept it reluctantly.
"Mr. Albert, this is my... my..."
The moment the man appeared, Barbara hugged Si Luo's arms tightly, and after hearing his question, she hurriedly responded as they had agreed before, stuttering a little.
However, when it came to Si Luo's identity, she still found it difficult to speak and lowered her head with a red face.
"Hello, Mr. Albert..."
It seemed that Barbara would still be troubled for a while, but Si Luo didn't care much. He touched the girl's head with his other hand, calmed her nervous and shy mood, and then took the initiative to speak.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Si Luo, and I'm Barbara's lover."
"..."
"Lover?"
Albert heard the answer he least wanted to hear. The words were so desperate that he unconsciously turned his gaze to Barbara.
"Is this... is this true? Miss Barbara..."
Although he had always insisted on cheering Barbara up without disturbing her life, when he was really faced with this situation, he instinctively avoided reality.
"Um…"
The girl responded with blushing cheeks. While enjoying Si Luo's head pat, she snuggled into his arms. The previous posture of hugging his arm changed to the posture of Si Luo hugging her shoulders.
"Well...I see...Um, I wish...I wish you happiness!"
Albert looked at Si Luo's outstanding appearance and temperament, subconsciously took another step back, then lowered his head with a bitter expression, and spoke weakly.
He also remembered Si Luo's identity at this moment. After all, as an honorary knight of Mondstadt, with the unremitting publicity of the Knights of Favonius, this somewhat special name has long been a household name, especially during the period when it was the most popular. Even if Albert did not pay special attention to it, he had some understanding of it.
Regardless of appearance, identity or strength, even though they were both men, he had to admit that Si Luo was completely worthy of Barbara. Therefore, after despair, he could only choose to express his weak blessing to the white moonlight he once admired.
After all, no matter what, he didn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of others.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Albert~"
"Well...well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home! See you next time, Miss Barbara, Mr. Si Luo!"
Albert tried hard to suppress his emotions, and after saying hello to the two of them again, he fled in a panic.
...
“Is this…will this be enough?”
It was not until dozens of seconds later that Barbara, who had focused all her attention on Si Luo, noticed Albert's departure. At this time, she was also hugged by Si Luo and came to the square in front of West Wind Church, where she sat down on an empty bench.
"Well... probably not enough."
Si Luo was sure that Albert would not come to disturb Barbara again, but he chose to deny it. At the same time, he slowly moved his hand on the girl's shoulder down, around the girl's slender waist, and placed it on her long beautiful legs.
Unlike girls like Silver Wolf, Barbara's thighs are also very slender. Although they lack some fleshiness, they still have their own unique advantages, which makes Si Luo reveal a look of fondness.
"Albert may not have left yet, but is secretly watching us."
