Chapter 286 Wine
"Hey?"
"Aren't you going to give a reward for an extra show? Why did you run away with Mora?"
Seeing the bard running away happily with Mora, Liu Bai was a little confused for a moment.
By the time I came to my senses, the other party had probably already arrived at the tavern.
Liu Bai had no choice but to disperse with the audience and wander around the square for a while.
Soon his attention fell on the huge statue of the god of wind in the center of the square.
The statue, with its arms and wings spread out, was obviously the most vulnerable building, but it was not damaged at all by the strong wind that Tevarin had stirred up earlier.
"That's strange. Mondstadt and Inazuma both have large statues, but why haven't Liyue and Xumi seen them..."
After looking at the statue of the God of Wind for a while, Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion.
Then he looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him. Then he jumped up and landed lightly on the hands of the Wind God statue.
"Sure enough, this place has a great view and nice scenery..."
Liu Bai sat down on the hand of the Wind God statue with satisfaction, looking far away outside Mondstadt.
With his eyesight, he could vaguely see a big tree in Fengqidi from this direction.
Liu Bai didn't stay on the statue of the God of Wind for long, and time quickly came to night.
He had no choice but to come down from the statue and go to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for another dinner.
Ying, Amber, Kaia and Lisa, who set out for the Temple of the Guardian of the Four Winds, have not returned to the city yet, perhaps because the journey is long.
After having a full meal, Liu Bai felt a little sleepy and wanted to go back to his room and sleep early, but he just remembered something very important.
How would he get out of the little white house after entering it if Nashida wasn't around?
After sitting on a bench around the square and thinking for a long time, Liu Bai finally lay down on the bench, took out a quilt from the small white house and covered himself with it, smelling the unique scent of Nashida that remained on it, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
"Guhehe...so satisfying...have another bottle..."
Late at night, a young man's voice could be heard faintly in the dark and silent square.
Through the moonlight, you can see a black-haired bard with two small braids on his temples walking towards you drunkenly with two bottles of wine.
"Hiccup... why... did you take my bed..."
"But...I slept here yesterday..."
Noticing that there was someone on the bench, the drunken, unsteady black-haired boy spoke in dissatisfaction to Liu Bai's feet.
"You can't get up, right..."
"Then...at least give me some space..."
"Ignore me... If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine... Get up, drink... Whoever wins gets this... whoever..."
The black-haired boy lay down on the bench halfway through his speech, hugged Liu Bai's feet, which he thought were his head after the quilt was covered, and fell asleep.
……
That night Liu Bai had a very strange dream.
Normally he would hold Nashida's legs and lick them, but today she was holding his legs instead...
"Look, what's going on with those two people..."
"I don't know, is it some weird play?"
"What's the big deal? Mondstadt is a free city. Be more tolerant of other people's preferences and stop talking about them."
"That's right."
Early the next morning, Liu Bai obviously did not get up very early, because there were already passers-by in the square.
Some people were sleeping under blankets or lying on the benches in the square. Liu Bai and the boy beside his legs suddenly became the focus of the square.
"Good morning, girl..."
Liu Bai didn't pay attention to the discussions of passers-by. Instead, he sat up, rubbed his eyes and talked to the person at his feet.
"...?"
But when he rubbed his eyes and opened them, he realized that the person at his feet was not Nashida at all.
"Hey, hey, hey? Who are you? Let go of my quilt!"
Liu Bai quickly pulled the quilt covering his body and kicked the other person.
After shaking his head twice, the black-haired boy finally woke up in confusion.
"Hey, distinguished sir, have you completed the challenge we talked about last night?"
After a moment of confusion, the black-haired boy suddenly rubbed his hands and asked Liu Bai.
"Huh? What challenge?"
Liu Bai was a little confused by the boy's words.
"You saw me looking so poor last night and decided to humiliate me with money. You said that if I kissed the back of your feet, you would buy me some wine until I vomited. I did it for a whole night and ended up being so tired that I accidentally fell asleep~"
"Look at this wine..."
The young man rubbed his hands and looked at Liu Bai expectantly.
"what?"
"Fuck! I need to wash my feet!"
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment. Considering his dream last night, his first reaction was to get up quickly and wash his feet.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, it's just a joke~"
The young man quickly grabbed Liu Bai and explained.
"Well, let me introduce myself for the second time. In front of you now is Wendy, the best bard in Teyvat, and his loyal companion, two bottles of wine."
"Thank you for your tip yesterday. I was in a hurry to drink and forgot to thank you specifically~"
The boy named Wendy picked up the two bottles of wine left on the ground, and then thanked Liu Bai.
Yesterday was the most enjoyable drinking experience he had since he woke up.
With 100,000 Mora, you can drink a lot of wine without ordering those particularly expensive bottles.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to drink good wine, but one hundred thousand Mora can’t even buy a glass of the best cider produced by Dawn Winery.
"Then you still owe me a performance. I gave it to you only because I wanted to see you continue to perform."
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Liu Bai crossed his arms and spoke to Wendy.
"Okay, okay. This is the tenth performance I owe you. Remember to come and listen whenever you are free. No need to tip."
Wendy waved her hand dismissively.
Seeing Liu Bai put away the quilt she was covering herself with, Wendy sat down next to the bench.
"It's a nice day today. Would you like to have a drink for the first time in the morning?"
Not long after they sat down, the wine in Wendy's hand was opened, and he held up the bottle and asked Liu Bai.
"No, my girl won't let me drink. Speaking of which, where is my girl..."
Liu Bai immediately rejected Wendy, muttering the second half of the sentence in confusion.
"Oh, she just doesn't want you to drink, but this is grape wine, two-thirds of it is grapes. If you only drink the top two-thirds, you won't get any wine~"
Wendy smiled wickedly and moved the bottle in front of Liu Bai, while she opened another bottle of wine.
"Two thirds are grapes..."
Liu Bai always felt that something was wrong, but it seemed to make sense.
Looking back at Wendy who was already blowing into the bottle, he also followed his example and tilted his head back to pour the wine into his mouth.
"Hey? Didn't you just get up? Why did you fall asleep again?"
When Wendy put down the bottle, she found that Liu Bai had already lay back in the chair.
"Hey, the wine can't be wasted, give the rest back to me..."
"No, your drinking capacity is still exactly the same as it was five hundred years ago."
"Oh, what a pity. I forgot to ask him if he had any new wine to sell..."
