Chapter 510 Show of Affection
Nashida has long been accustomed to maintaining intimacy with Liu Bai in front of others, and will not be easily shy as long as there is no extreme behavior.
So, when she popped her head out from under Liu Bai's coat and walked with Liu Bai on the winter street, although it was inevitable that she attracted the attention of passers-by, she didn't care at all and just kept chatting with Liu Bai as they walked.
Since Liu Bai rarely appears in the native land of Solstice, almost no locals can recognize him except Solstice soldiers and Fatui soldiers. After all, the style of his coat is slightly different from that of the executive officer's coat.
After searching on the street for a while, the two finally found a restaurant serving Liyue cuisine.
Although the chef is from Zhidong, it is said that he once studied cooking at Wanmin Hall in Liyue. The two asked passers-by and found that his reputation was pretty good.
So the two of them came to the store and ordered a large portion of pickled fish.
"vomit……"
While waiting for the food to be served, Nashida couldn't help but retching and quickly picked up the napkin on the table to cover her mouth.
"Don't die, girl!"
Liu Bai didn’t know what was going on with Nashida, and he didn’t know how to treat a disease. In desperation, he could only clasp his hands together and pray.
"?"
"Hate it, don't die."
Nashida, who had recovered a little, rolled her eyes at him.
Only when the steaming black sea bass and pickled fish was served on the table did Nashida pick up the chopsticks impatiently.
But she didn't pick up the fish meat, but a small piece of sauerkraut and put it in her mouth.
The sour and salty taste made her squint her eyes, and the feeling of retching subsided.
After recovering a little, Nashida tasted the fish.
Due to health reasons, Nashida ordered the sauerkraut fish to be non-spicy this time, but it tasted very good.
Although fresh blackback bass are hard to come by in winter, Nashida had just used her wealth and wisdom to convince the shopkeeper to get a fresh blackback bass that was still alive an hour ago.
"Girl, eat more..."
Considering Nashida's poor health, Liu Bai helped her pick up more fish meat.
"You're wrong. You can't eat too much because you're not in good health. Stop serving me food all the time. Eat it yourself."
Nashida explained this to Liu Bai with some amusement, but still gladly accepted the fish meat piled in the bowl.
Liu Bai had no choice but to nod and start eating.
……
In the afternoon, Liu Bai decided to go to Northland Bank.
After all, he hadn't asked Pantalone for funding for a long time.
Although the 100 billion last time was not used up at all...
But the funding from last time certainly has nothing to do with now.
Ever since her body began to change, Nashida became increasingly reluctant to be separated from Liu Bai, even for a short period of time, so she crawled into her coat again and followed Liu Bai to the Northland Bank.
"Pleasant to work with."
Coincidentally, at this moment, Pantalone in the Northland Bank saw off today's guests.
Just as I was about to sit down and rest, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
Recovering his sitting position, Pantalone responded with a smile.
The door was opened and Liu Bai walked in with Nashida.
"...It's Lerci, and this distinguished Little King of Auspicious Grass. Long time no see. Please take a seat."
Seeing Liu Bai and Nashida coming to the Northland Bank in their "combined form" again, Pantalone was stunned for a moment and then immediately stood up to welcome them.
"Brother Fu, long time no see!"
"Hello, Pantalone."
Liu Bai and Nashida greeted Pantalone, then Liu Bai sat down on the chair opposite the desk and let Nashida sit on his lap.
However, after sitting down like this, the height difference between him and Nashida was almost eliminated, so Nashida and Liu Bai had to move their heads a little to the sides so as not to block their vision.
"You two are still as close as ever. It's really the envy of others."
Seeing the two people's intimate behavior without caring about the presence of outsiders, Pantalone couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.
"Brother Fu, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
Liu Bai responded with a smile, and under his coat he put his arm around Nashida who was sitting on him. Nashida also leaned over and pressed her head against Liu Bai's face affectionately.
"Haha, well, you two should be back to Winter Solstice for the lady's memorial service. I just wonder what important matter has brought you to Northland Bank?"
Pantalone was not angry at the two people's deliberate display of affection. He chuckled and then asked.
At this point in time, all the executives who were not at Zhidong basically rushed back, after all, it was a memorial service for their colleague.
Besides, Rosaline had made contributions after all, as she brought back the Heart of the God of Wind.
He is the person who has brought back the most Heart of Gods besides Liu Bai.
"Cough cough..."
Liu Bai coughed lightly, then got into the state and looked at Pantalone.
"Brother Fu, I'm hungry, money!"
As he spoke, Liu Bai looked at Pantalone eagerly.
Every time he returned to Winter Solstice, Liu Bai would come to see Pantalone like this.
"Oh, so it's about funding. No problem..."
"But compared to this, you just came back, and I have a more painful bad news to tell you."
Pantalone was not surprised, but he also remembered something he had not told Liu Bai yet.
"Is there any good news?"
Hearing the bad news, Liu Bai subconsciously asked tentatively.
"Of course I have, but I'm afraid it won't make you happy."
Pantalone said, shaking his head.
"Well, then I'd better listen to the good news first..."
Seeing that Pantalone didn't seem to be joking, Liu Bai hesitated for a moment but decided to listen to the good news first.
"Well, the good news is that the house that was damaged by Scaramucci has been rebuilt for you. I don't know if you have seen it, but the interior decoration is full of Liyue style. I'm sure you will like it."
Pantalone told Liu Bai the good news.
Obviously, he was referring to the three-story building that Liu Bai and Nashida had seen before.
"Really? Thank you, Brother Fu!"
Liu Bai didn't expect that Pantalone still remembered something that happened after such a long time, and he immediately nodded happily.
"And the bad news..."
"Your landlord, Mr. Goel, passed away two months ago. Before he died, he asked me to give you the property certificates of those houses."
When Liu Bai was happy, Pantalone told him the bad news, took out a stack of property certificates from under the drawer, and pushed them to Liu Bai across the desk.
"Eh……?"
"Mr. Goel..."
Looking at the property certificate in front of him, Liu Bai stood there in a daze.
When Zhidong was kicked out for secretly climbing into Columbia's bed, it was this Goer who took Liu Bai in. After finding a job, Liu Bai rented a house here at Goer.
In fact, the old houses on that street could have been demolished and rebuilt long ago, but because they were rented to Liu Bai, Goertek deliberately preserved them all.
So, although Goer is just an ordinary person, he is one of the very few people that Liu Bai will never forget and can recognize at any time.
"In addition, he asked me to tell you that thanks to you he was able to reconcile with his brother before he died."
