On her first day in the world of Honkai: Star Rail, Lin Xingwan did something huge.
She kissed Dan Heng by force.
Right in front of the Antimatter Legion, she crashed into his arms and planted one squarely on his lips.
Only after the kiss did she notice.
Dan Heng’s eyes had turned red.
At the same time, golden markings burst across her right wrist and crawled up her arm.
[Ding! Symbiotic Mark successfully bonded.]
[Bonded partner: Dan Heng. Affinity: -10.]
Lin Xingwan: “...”
A negative score from the start? How is that fair?!
And things got even more ridiculous.
Whenever she touched him, the mark grew hot;
when he moved away from her, the mark began to ache;
and when their hands accidentally touched in a fight, their powers resonated, and one shot blasted an entire floor of Fragmentum monsters to pieces.
Dan Heng was silent for a long time. The tips of his ears were so red they looked ready to drip blood. At last, he managed to force out three words:
“...Don’t move around.”
Lin Xingwan: “It wasn’t me! I didn’t do anything! It moved first!”
Later...
Someone called her a harbinger of calamity and said the mark on her body would bring destruction.
Dan Heng stood in front of her with Cloud-Piercer in hand and drove his spear through the speaker’s throat.
He turned his head. His voice was quiet, but every word was clear:
“I’ll take responsibility for her.”
Lin Xingwan watched his back, and her heart skipped a beat.
Maybe... she’d flirted her way into falling for him.
Dan Heng looked back at her, the tips of his ears red again.
But this time, he didn’t pull away.
You are my destined one, and the abyss we share.
