Chapter 739 Zhongli (12)
The route they took was from Xumi to Nata.
Now that we've arrived at Xumi, we're bringing two people who haven't been here for a long time, so of course we have to take a quick stroll around.
Just like when he went to Inazuma, the little grass god here quietly appeared and met Zhongli when no one noticed.
Yun Ci pretended not to notice and continued to stay in the tent to organize the perfumes she had bought, leaving them to handle the diplomacy.
Xiao Ai was not in the mood to play with Xumi again, and she ran off with Ruota in her arms to play somewhere else.
Therefore, the tent was very quiet, and Yun Ci was happy and comfortable, enjoying the long-lost tranquility of being alone.
Yunci bought ten bottles of each of the perfumes she liked.
Five of the bottles are stored in the "book", four are placed in the space for use, and one is left outside for use.
The quantity of perfume is quite large, and there are so many varieties, I think it will last for decades.
If a new perfume that I like comes out in the future... then there may be a few more bottles of used perfume in the small warehouse in the space.
The curtain of the tent was opened and Zhongli walked in.
He looked at the perfume bottles in front of Yun Ci and sat down next to her.
"Choosing a perfume to wear today?"
"Yeah." Yun Ci said with some embarrassment, "I bought too many, and they're all things I like... Do you have any recommendations?"
"Then we have to sniff them one by one."
"We have a lot of time anyway, so there's no rush."
Yunci opened a bottle, leaned in to sniff it, and then handed it to Zhongli.
Zhongli did not take it, but moved closer to Yunci, lowered his head and sniffed carefully: "Okay, I've memorized this smell."
Yun Ci raised her eyebrows, put down the perfume, opened another bottle and handed it to Zhongli.
Zhongli sniffed again.
The two of them passed it to each other and sniffed it, and finally picked out a scent.
"Let's go for a walk around the area. It's a rare trip to Xumi, so staying in the tent all the time wouldn't be considered a trip."
"Then let's go take a look around."
Zhongli stood up first, then extended his hand to Yunci who was slumped on the sofa: "Let's go."
Yun Ci raised her eyebrows, but did not move and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, what does this mean?"
"Pull you up."
"innocent?"
"Maybe... there is a little selfishness in it."
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and then Yun Ci put her hand on Zhongli's hand.
"Thank you then. This is more than just pulling me up."
The two did not stray too far from the camp. They looked at the scenery nearby, picked some fruits, and dug some minerals.
Yun Ci picked a few flowers and replaced the withered ones in the tent.
Xiao Ai and Ruo Ta didn't come back for lunch.
Even though there were only two of them eating, Yunci and Zhongli still prepared a very sumptuous meal - and then the two of them had a discussion about the taste of the food, the preparation methods... and how it was originally developed.
At night.
Yunci brought out the small lamp grasses she had picked from Mengdi and placed them in several rows near the camp.
When the campfire is not lit, this halo adds a bit of feeling to camping...like a date.
I ate too much at noon and didn’t do much in the afternoon, so I didn’t feel hungry at all at dinner time.
Yun Ci lay in the grass and didn't want to move: "Why not sleep outside tonight?"
It’s called camping, but living in a tent every day that is no different from a house doesn’t give us the feeling of camping at all.
Zhongli sat aside, looking at the books Yunci had placed in the tent.
Those were the magic books she had placed inside the tent when she used it before.
He raised his eyes to look at Yun Ci: "If you want."
It’s not impossible to sleep outside.
"The sky looks beautiful tonight, with no signs of rain."
So you don't need to worry about anything when sleeping outside.
Yun Ci was already drowsy from the comfortable breeze.
She uttered a low 'hmm' and then let herself be carried away by sleepiness.
In a trance, it seemed as if someone had covered her with a blanket.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning.
Xiao Ai and Ruo Ta had already returned and were lying down to rest.
On Yun Ci's left was Xiao Ai, and on her right was Zhongli. The gaps were filled with all kinds of small animals, pressing on her blanket - unable to move.
"..."
Fortunately, I didn't press on her, otherwise she might have suffocated.
Yun Ci moved slightly, turned over and turned towards Zhongli.
Zhongli seemed to be sleeping soundly and didn't even notice so many small animals running around him.
Yun Ci was watching with great interest when suddenly a white bird came into her sight, its pointed beak slightly open, its small chest rising and falling, and its stretched out light yellow little claws trembling from time to time, as if trying to grab something.
——So cute.
Yun Ci also closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
"Shh, keep your voice down, or you'll wake her up."
"Got it, got it. I'll take a few more pictures."
"The benefactor is really welcomed by the animals."
"That's right. This is the first time you've seen such a scene, right? Also, my sister has always lived in a tent. This is the first time she's camped outdoors..."
Yun Ci slowly opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ai holding a camera towards her. She subconsciously pressed the shutter button.
"Sister, you're awake!"
Yun Ci tilted her head slightly and wrapped herself in the blanket.
"I really want to be lazy today."
Do nothing, just stay here.
"Then just stay here. We're not in a hurry anyway."
"Then I'll leave Mr. Zhongli and Ruotu in my care. Take them to other places for a stroll." Yun Ci started to prolong her lazy time, "I'll stay here for the next few days."
Zhongli looked at Ruotuo and said, "Ruotuo go and play, I'll stay."
Ruota pointed at himself with his claws: Me?
Fine.
He really wanted to play.
After being suppressed for so many years, he now wants to run around, relax and enjoy the feeling of freedom.
No one knew how long he could stay out like this.
Although his benefactor told him not to worry...but, Ruota was already prepared to be suppressed again.
Until then, just have fun.
Xiao Ai already had a tent and everything, so Yun Ci didn't need to worry about anything. She just gave Xiao Ai some more Mora, then waved her hand and watched the child play with peace of mind.
In the next few days, Zhongli witnessed Yunci's laziness.
She hardly ever moved.
Except when the sun got hot or when she was eating, Yun Ci lay on the grass.
Occasionally he would pick up a small animal from the side and touch it, and from time to time he would take out some drinks to drink.
It was a delicious drink, with some food Zhongli didn't recognize added to it. It must have been made before coming to this world.
Zhongli put the drink he had taken a sip of back on the table and his eyes fell on Yunci.
"Miss Yunci."
"Ok?"
"After traveling to Teyvat, where are you going next, Miss Yunci?"
