When Jams saw the system prompt, his hand couldn't help but tremble, wondering if he had read it wrong.
The Fair Lady Rosalyne had a cold expression on her face, so it shouldn't be so easy to win her over!
Could it really be a successful invitation?
Or perhaps Rosalyne actually wanted to experience the joy of fishing but felt too embarrassed to ask, hence giving off a cold impression.
"..."
Jams stared at Rosalyne's mature and stunning face for quite some time, making Rosalyne feel a bit awkward.
"What are you looking at?"
Rosalyne furrowed her elegant brows. She intended to scold him loudly, but she didn't see any lecherous intent in Jams' eyes, so she asked patiently instead.
"Well... how should I put it..."
Jams pondered for a moment and boldly asked, "Rosalyne, could it be that you're really a tsundere?"
"What is a tsundere?"
As a native of Teyvat, Rosalyne couldn't understand Jams' anime-inspired adjective, but she vaguely felt that it wasn't a compliment.
Jams really wanted to say that it meant saying one thing but feeling another, having a contradictory personality.
But he thought that if he directly voiced his thoughts, the enraged lady would surely pin him down and rub him on the ground, so he wisely changed the subject.
"Ahem, let's skip the tsundere topic. I want to ask, do you want to try fishing?"
Jams pointed to the fishing gear set beside his feet and enthusiastically pitched, "I have several fishing rods here, and they're just sitting idle."
"Why do you suddenly want me to go fishing?"
A hint of unconcealed excitement flashed through Rosalyne's pale purple eyes.
After hearing Jams' definition of fishing, she indeed became very interested in this recreational activity.
But due to her pride, she couldn't directly say, "Instructor, I want to learn fishing!"
Although being seen through made her a bit shy, she also felt the joy of "you understand me."
This sense of understanding made Rosalyne's heart feel a bit sweet, and her gaze towards Jams became softer.
So tsundere, a definite tsundere!
As an experienced player, Jams saw through Rosalyne's thoughts at a glance. This woman was waiting for him to invite her again!
If he wanted the tsundere to obediently listen, one invitation was clearly not enough.
Therefore, a shy smile appeared on Jams' handsome face, and he proactively took out a fishing rod, saying, "Friends coming from afar are always welcomed. I don't have much to offer, so how about fishing with me?"
"Um..."
Rosalyne pursed her lips and happily accepted the fishing rod.
When she took the rod, her fingers accidentally touched Jams', and a faint warmth made her heart flutter.
In order to hide her blushing cheeks, she slightly lowered her proud head and spoke with a hint of coldness, "I... I don't know how to fish. Will you teach me?"
"Definitely!"
Jams was more than willing.
Currently, Barbara, Noelle, and Lumine all had their own tasks, and until the Stormterror crisis in Mondstadt was resolved, he estimated they wouldn't have time to come to the lakeside for fishing.
Jams was just worried about not having enough chives... teammates for increased co-op rewards!
In the vast city of Mondstadt, only Klee could be a stable companion by his side in the long run.
Sigh, Klee is the best, a truly caring little cotton jacket!
"What are you laughing at?"
Rosalyne glared at Jams, her tone teasing, "I agreed to go fishing with you, and it makes you this happy?"
"Yes, yes, whatever you say, as long as you have a big chest," Jams nodded with a smile.
Dealing with a tsundere, it's best to go along with their wishes.
As long as they feel spoiled, they will naturally become as obedient and gentle as a little cat.
"Tsk, I never expected that besides raising Klee, there would also be a hidden plot of training a lady... Genshin Impact is really so much fun!"
"What are you muttering about?" Rosalyne tilted her head, her pale purple eyes filled with confusion.
"Oh, nothing. Come on, let this master fisherman teach you how to fish!" Jams stood up and said softly behind her, "Are you ready? It's time for Jams' fishing lesson."
"Uh..."
Rosalyne's delicate body visibly stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed in her pale purple eyes.
At first, she thought she was the hunter, but the current situation seemed a bit unfavorable.
"And you, don't take advantage of me."
"Come on, do you think I'm that kind of person? Don't worry, my actions are driven by sincerity and guided by etiquette!" Jams' hand slid slowly from Rosalyne's half-exposed fragrant shoulder to the back of her hand.
"First, find a suitable spot and hold the fishing rod..."
"And then?"
"Don't exert too much force... that's right, don't be nervous."
...
Half an hour later.
The eighth seat of the Fatui Harbingers, "The Fair Lady," Rosalyne, known as the "Pyro Archon."
This elegant woman sat on a small stool, her face peachy and her eyes filled with resentment.
"Jams, were you doing that on purpose just now?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Jams blinked innocently, his face full of innocence.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Jams' expression of innocence, Rosalyne became even angrier!
The fishing lesson lasted for a total of 30 minutes, and the first 29 minutes were all about the proper posture!
And in the last minute, Jams actually told her, "Fishing is actually quite simple. Bait the hook, cast the line, and then sit down and wait. Understand the applause!"
Clap, clap, clap!
Rosalyne thought about how foolishly she followed Jams' instructions and made all sorts of embarrassing movements, which made her so angry that she wanted to bite someone!
She had never been so humiliated in her life!
But just as she was about to strike back at Jams, he suddenly returned to a serious expression.
"Rosalyne, true fishing is not about catching fish, but about cultivating your state of mind."
Jams patted Rosalyne's fragrant shoulder and spoke with deep meaning, "In these days, I've been knocked out twice, swept away by a tornado once, and drowned once."
"But I never blame the heavens or others. I still remain steadfast on the fishing platform."
"And is that why you touched my hand?" Rosalyne asked, not in a good mood.
Jams' face stiffened, "Ask Klee if she minds these little things between friends... a friendly pat on the hand, what's wrong with that?"
"And is that why you touched my thigh?"
"Ask Noelle if there's any problem with a knee pillow..."
"And is that why you took advantage of me... there?"
"Alright, alright, I won't pretend anymore. I desire your body, I'm despicable."
"Do you really know you did something wrong?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again." Jams stood his ground!
Splash, splash, splash!
"You... Oh, Jams! It seems like there's a fish biting the hook. Quick, quick, teach me what to do."
Rosalyne's fishing rod trembled lightly, and a look of panic suddenly appeared on her glamorous face!
