Chapter 735 Zhongli (8)
“The underwater world is so fun.”
"Water Dragon is so cool!"
Xiao Ai, who was on the boat heading to Chenyu Valley, expressed such emotion.
Yun Ci was peeling a bubble orange and eating it. The bracelet on her wrist, made of Chenyu Valley's clear water jade, was clear and moist, and swayed with her movements.
The bubble orange is very juicy and tastes great.
Yun Ci broke off half and handed it to Xiao Ai, and ate the remaining half in a few bites.
Roudeng Port is very close to Yilongbu. They set out in the morning, and by noon, they were already sitting in a restaurant in Yilongbu to eat.
Since they had already visited this place, the two did not stay any longer. They ordered a carriage and headed straight for Liyue Harbor.
"Then sister, I'm going to go play with Xiangling!"
Xiao Ai, carrying a bag that was bigger than herself, slowly moved down the stairs of the hotel.
Yun Ci closed the door and shook her head helplessly.
She obviously often sent things to Xiangling, so how come there was such a large pile this time?
It seemed like she wasn't that nice to her friends.
Yun Ci was thinking of giving Zhongli a portion of the tea she had collected in the space. At the next intersection when she went out to find food, she saw the person she was looking for.
Zhongli was standing in front of a jade jewelry stall at this time, holding an emerald green bamboo hairpin in his hand, and talking to the owner.
Yun Ci took a look from a distance and felt that they could chat for a while, so she turned around and went back to the hotel, packed the tea leaves and also packed a bag that was no smaller than Xiao Ai's.
"Um……"
It hasn’t been fully installed yet, so let’s leave it like this for now.
When he went out again, Zhongli had already negotiated with the owner and held the jade hairpin in his hand with satisfaction.
He turned around and walked forward. When he saw Yun Ci carrying a large bag behind him, he was startled and then walked forward.
"Ms. Yunci, is the trip over?"
"That's not the case. We still have someplace else to go. We came here to take a boat to Inazuma." Yun Ci raised her hand and patted her back. "This is a souvenir I brought for you."
Honestly, even Zhongli was shocked by how full it was for a moment, then his eyes fell on her bag.
"This piece of cloth..."
Although it is simple, you can tell from the reflection in the sunlight that it is made of the finest silk.
Use such silk to make a bundle...
“——How exquisite.”
Yun Ci laughed: "As expected, Mr. Zhongli."
If it were someone else, they would probably accuse her of wasting good things.
"These are the tea leaves I collected during my travels. Mr. Zhongli likes to drink tea, so I gave you some of each. You can try them and see how they taste."
"In that case, I would like to thank Miss Yunci first." Zhongli took the bundle and held it firmly in one hand. "Miss Yunci is also here to eat at this time, why don't we go to Wanmin Hall and sit for a while?"
"Why don't we put these back to where Mr. Zhongli lives?"
"From here to Wanmin Hall, we have to pass by Wangsheng Hall, so we can just put it down on the way."
The two walked side by side, chatting about elegant and interesting things all the way until they reached the Hall of All Peoples.
Liyue Harbor is a port city with abundant seafood, where you can eat the freshest seafood.
Of course, if you want to use heavy ingredients to stir-fry, the taste will not be bad and the freshness can be guaranteed.
It was Xiangling who prepared meals for Yunci and Zhongli today. Xiaoai cleverly said she didn't want to eat with them, and finally went to another table that Xiangling had arranged for her.
It had been a long time since they had sat together to have a meal, but Yun Ci did not feel strange because they kept in touch through letters.
Zhongli is a very talkative person.
Although the topics of small talk are useless, the fact that they can make people happy is probably the biggest benefit of these topics.
"Oh? So there are things like this under the water of Fontaine."
"Yes, it's a pity that Xiao Ai didn't get to visit the Fontaine Prison, but this prison... maybe it's a good thing not to go." Yun Ci smiled, "By the way, we also met the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, who was choosing gifts for you at the time, and one of them was chosen by Mr. Villette."
"Oh? No wonder I noticed that there was something that was not Miss Yunci's preference."
"Eh? Is it that easy to tell?"
"Not really."
Perhaps because they had spent too much time together, Zhongli couldn't help but take note of Yunci's preferences that he discovered during their interactions.
As an ordinary human being, it was the first time that Zhongli met someone so knowledgeable and able to talk to him about anything without dull moments in all these years.
The world is moving forward steadily and everything is slowly changing.
Today’s Liyue is no longer what Zhongli remembers, but for him, it is also a new beginning.
A new 'world', new things, new gods, new... people.
"Mr. Zhongli."
"Ok?"
"You've been in Liyue for so long, have you ever thought about going out for a trip?" Yun Ci invited, "We're going to Inazuma next, do you want to come with us?"
"It's a pity, I still have work to do at the Hall of Rebirth, so——"
"——What's the matter, guest? It's a rare opportunity for someone to invite you to travel together, so why not go and have a look around?"
"Hall Master." Zhongli looked at the newcomer and introduced him to Yunci, "This is Hall Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao, this..."
"I know, I know. Xiao Xiangling mentioned it to me. Xiao Ai's sister, Miss Yunci, right?"
"Nice to meet you, Master Hu."
"Sister Yun, you don't have to be so polite. Xiao Ai and I are friends. Why don't you follow suit and call me Hu Tao?"
"Then I will shamelessly accept the title of 'sister'." Yun Ci took Hu Tao's hand with a smile and put a black bracelet on her wrist. "Sister Hu Tao, this is a meeting gift from my sister."
Hu Tao touched the jade bracelet that looked ordinary and did not refuse.
"It's nice to have a sister."
"I have one too." Xiangling quietly appeared from behind Hutao, with a red bracelet on her outstretched left arm.
Xiao Ai came over with a grin and stretched out her arm next to Xiangling. A pink bracelet on it sparkled in the sunlight.
The three girls put their arms around each other and chatted about happy things.
Yun Ci sat aside and watched with a smile, looking quite pleased.
very nice.
Her little Ai can make friends so quickly in a new place, so there is no need to worry too much about her even if they are separated in the future.
Xiao Ai seemed to sense something and waved at Yun Ci with a smile. Then the three girls said "don't disturb them while they eat" and left.
"So, about traveling together..." Yun Ci said, "What do you think about it, Mr. Zhongli?"
"How many days will Miss Yunci stay in Liyue Harbor?"
“It depends on whether there are suitable merchant ships.”
"Then why don't I check the time for Miss Yunci?" Zhongli poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Yunci. "I will give Miss Yun a reply on the day when the time is decided--"
