Chapter 728: Rice Wife Arrives
……
After Shao Yun and his group left, they continued walking towards Luze Coffee Shop.
Outside the coffee shop, a Fontaine man with a sad face was stirring the coffee in his cup with a spoon out of boredom. This man was Xavier.
Seeing this, Paimon couldn't wait to fly to Xavier and shouted excitedly: "Xavier, we are back!"
Xavier heard Paimon's voice, raised his head, a happy smile appeared on his face, and said: "Hey, Ying, Paimon, you are finally back!"
However, the next second, Xavier's eyes fell on Shao Yun beside Ying.
He hesitated for a moment, then smiled politely and said, "This must be your husband. Nice to meet you."
Shao Yun stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Xavier.
"Hello, Xavier! I've heard of you before. Are you the Fontaine craftsman who is in charge of repairing the large furnace of treading sand?"
When Xavier heard Shao Yun mention this, he smiled awkwardly and admitted, "Haha, yes, it was me."
"But now I'm just an ordinary inventor, director, and producer."
"But then again, I heard that the big furnace was later blown up by the Fatui, and the surrounding environment was also severely damaged. That place is uninhabitable, right?"
Shao Yun responded half-truthfully: "Sorry, I'm not very clear about this matter..."
……
After a brief silence, Xavier enthusiastically invited Shao Yun and Paimon to have coffee together.
As for Ying, she can only drink pure milk. After all, she is pregnant and needs to pay attention to her diet.
After sitting down, Xavier began to complain to Shao Yun and others.
He complained that life was very difficult now as his investors suddenly withdrew their capital, making it impossible for his Yingying project to go on and everything seemed to be ruined.
Seeing Xavier wanting to hang himself, Shao Yun was afraid that Ying would make trouble, so he pulled Ying up and said to Xavier, "Wait a minute!"
Then, Shao Yun quickly stood up and pulled Ying to a corner.
He lowered his voice and said to Ying seriously, "Ying, you are pregnant now, don't find any work for yourself!"
"If your brother knew, he would definitely kill me and Yuan Shang. Even if you don't consider me and him, don't you at least consider your own health?"
Ying seemed a little helpless after listening to this. She waved her hand gently, signaling Shao Yun not to be so nervous.
"Oh, I just want to catch up with Xavier. Even if I really need to do something for him, I will do it within my ability. After all, I am really bored now..."
After saying that, Ying stuck out her tongue mischievously.
Shao Yun looked at Ying's naughty look, especially when she stuck out her tongue mischievously, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
He sighed and said helplessly: "You are really a worry. Okay, but I still have to remind you that even if you really want to help, you must stop at a certain point and never show off your strength!"
Seeing that Shao Yun's attitude had softened, Ying quickly smiled and agreed, "I know, I just met an old friend and helped him with a little favor, don't worry!"
……
Because of Ying's guarantee, Shao Yun felt relieved. After all, Ying was a person who couldn't sit still.
Afterwards, while chatting, Xavier looked at the time and decided to go to the Clementine Line, the rail patrol ship terminal, to meet up with the actors.
Anyway, Shao Yun and his group had nothing to do and were very free, so at Ying and Paimeng's request, Shao Yun went with them.
……
The Ting District Waterway Hub, the Clementine Line station of the patrol boat terminal.
At this moment, Qianzhi was standing quietly beside the patrol ship station, looking into the distance, waiting for the actors to arrive.
At this moment, Xavier, who had rushed over, saw Chizhi and smiled, and greeted her warmly: "Ms. Chizhi, hello! I'm back."
Chizhi heard Xavier's voice and turned around slowly.
Her expression seemed a little indifferent, and she responded: "How was your talk with the investor? The patrol ship hasn't arrived yet."
However, the next second, Qianzhi's attention was suddenly attracted by Ying, Paimon and Shao Yun behind Xavier.
Qian Zhi couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Hey? Ying, Paimeng and Mr. Shao Yun, why are you here too?"
Seeing this, Paimon waved his hand and greeted loudly: "Chizhi, hello! I was shocked when Xavier said that the helper was you!"
Qianzhi smiled slightly, and set her eyes on Ying, who was almost six months pregnant, and asked with concern:
"I'm curious, how did you get to know Xavier? Did you accept his commission?"
Ying told Chiori about how she helped Xavier when she was in Inazuma.
Then, Ying mentioned the incident of the explosion of the Tatar sand.
"I see... I heard about the explosion of the Tadashi sand a long time ago, but I didn't expect the Inazuma incident to be so serious."
The next second, Qianzhi's throat slid unconsciously, she swallowed her saliva, and changed the subject.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How about the clothes I made for you?"
Ying's eyes fell on the maternity clothes she was wearing. She looked at them carefully for a while, then smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Very good, Qianzhi, your craftsmanship is really good!"
Seeing Ying was so satisfied with the clothes she designed, Qianzhi couldn't help but feel happy. She smiled and replied, "As long as you like it, the most important thing is to be comfortable wearing it."
At this moment, Paimon, who had been quietly standing nearby, suddenly interrupted, looked at Chizhi curiously, blinked his big eyes and asked, "By the way, the actor Xavier mentioned before, couldn't it be you, Chizhi?"
Qianzhi quickly shook her head and explained, "Haha, how is that possible? I don't have any talent for acting. I am Xavier's brand sponsor, and I personally recommended the actors this time."
After listening to Chizhi's explanation, Paimon was a little surprised by the answer.
She asked more curiously, "Oh? The actor you recommended, Chizhi? Who is that?"
Qianzhi did not directly answer Paimon's question, but looked not far away, and saw a patrol ship slowly approaching the station.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile, and she said, "Here they are. I'll introduce them to you later."
……
As the patrol ship slowly docked at the station, the hull shook slightly and then stopped steadily.
Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato got off the boat one after another.
Kamisato Ayato was still wearing his iconic uniform, with no noticeable changes in color or style.
However, in sharp contrast to him is Kamisato Ayaka, whose transformation is truly eye-opening.
Kamisato Ayaka was seen wearing an exquisite straw wide-brimmed hat, giving people a mysterious and elegant feeling.
Her original high ponytail was now tied up, braided into a pigtail, and fixed with a small hairpin.
This hairstyle makes her look more playful and cute.
Kamisato Ayaka was wearing a Fontaine dress with white and light blue as the main colors. The dress was tailored to fit her perfectly, outlining her slender figure perfectly.
The hem of her skirt was made of layers of lace that fluttered gently with her steps.
Her legs are wrapped in white tights and on her feet are a pair of mid-calf high-heeled Martin boots. The overall look looks both fashionable and full of girlish vitality.
Qianzhi watched the Kamisato siblings get off the boat and welcomed them, "Welcome to Fontaine, Linghua, you look so beautiful today!"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled and responded, "Thank you, Ms. Chiori. You have changed a lot too."
Chiori nodded and said, "Yes, after all, it has been a while since I left Inazuma."
Kamisato Ayaka said with emotion: "This is the first time we have met since you left Inazuma."
Chiori recalled the scene when she left Inazuma, and a faint melancholy welled up in her heart.
"Yes, I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to say goodbye to you properly."
Kamisato Ayato watched the two talking from the side and interrupted with a smile: "But now we meet again, it can be regarded as a kind of fate."
He turned to look at Xavier and thanked him politely: "Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Xavier. I am looking forward to the harvest of this trip to Fontaine."
Xavier waved his hands timidly and said flatteredly, "It should be my honor that Mr. Kamisato can come."
At this time, Kamisato Ayaka, who was standing next to Kamisato Ayano, noticed Shao Yun and his group and said in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Shao Yun, Miss Ying and Miss Paimeng!"
Shao Yun looked at Shenli Linghua who was wearing a Fontaine dress, greeted her, and praised her: "Hello, Miss Linghua, your new dress is nice."
Qian Zhi saw Shao Yun praising the clothes that Shen Li Ling Hua was wearing, and said self-promotingly: "The clothes that Ling Hua is wearing now were made by me. How do you think it is? Not bad, right?"
Shao Yun nodded and said, "It's really good."
At this moment, Xiao Gong, who came with him, also jumped off the boat and shouted enthusiastically: "Wow! Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun, what a coincidence! Are you here to take photos of Yingying as well?"
Paimon shook his head and explained, "I was just bored recently, so I came here to catch up with Xavier and have some fun. But I'm looking forward to your performance, Xiao Gong."
Seeing that Paimon misunderstood that she was an actor, Xiao Gong quickly waved his hands and explained: "Hey, I'm not an actor! Kamisato-sama and Ayaka are the ones, and they are the leading actors!"
"As for me, I just took advantage of Linghua and came out to play with her."
As soon as Xiao Gong finished speaking, her eyes fell on Ying, who was wearing a white maternity pleated skirt. Especially her slightly bulging belly with a belly support belt tied around her waist.
Xiao Gong looked at Ying curiously, then asked, "By the way, Ying, what's wrong with your stomach?"
When Ying heard Xiao Gong's question, she subconsciously touched her bulging belly and replied with a smile: "Oh, this, I'm pregnant!"
When Xiao Gong heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise.
She looked at Ying in disbelief and asked, "Ying, you are pregnant! When...when did this happen? How long has it been?"
Ying scratched her head a little embarrassedly, thought for a moment, and then answered, "Well... probably more than five months, almost six months."
Just then, Chizhi coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Ahem, I think it's not a good idea for us to stand here all the time. How about we find a place where we can sit down and have a good chat?"
Xavier also quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Qianzhi is right, we should find a place quickly. Come on, I have prepared a welcoming banquet at the Debo Hotel, let's go together!"
