Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

"... "

"... "

In the courtyard, A Ping and Guizhu stood on one side and looked at each other.

In front of the two people, there was a guqin and a bell respectively.

"...Finally, where is Bai Chu?"

After a while, A Ping couldn't help it any longer, frowned and asked. Finally, he laughed twice, "Ahaha", and a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"That, maybe, will come in a while?"

"...Did you really tell him?"

A Ping couldn't help but ask.

They have been preparing here since morning. As a result, Bai Chu didn't come even after he was ready.

At first, A Ping and Gui Zhi didn't pay much attention, just thinking that Bai Chu was sleeping or something, and planned to wait for a while.

but…

A Ping raised her head and sighed when she saw the sun that was about to rise to its highest point.

It's almost eleven o'clock now, and Bai Chu hasn't come yet.

Originally, the atmosphere between them was still tense when they first came together, but after waiting for so long... neither she nor Gui Zhong felt anything at all now.

"Otherwise, that would be it for today..."

"Mr. Bai, I can leave by myself..."

"Oh, hurry up, Ji Zhi and A Ping are almost impatient!"

A Ping was preparing to pack her things and talk another day when the voices of Zhong Li and Bai Chu suddenly came from outside the wall. After being stunned for a moment, she and Guizhi looked at the entrance together.

Bai Chu was pulling a helpless Zhongli in from the door. Seeing the two of them, Bai Chu smiled and waved.

"A Ping, finally, it's early, isn't it too late?"

"...What do you think?"

A Ping rolled her eyes and said angrily.

This guy actually had the nerve to ask.

It's already this time, why do you think it's not too late?

"Also, why would the emperor..."

Then, she looked at Zhongli who looked helpless, a little confused.

She originally wanted to invite Zhong Li, but she didn't know why she didn't agree.

So, I had to give it up.

"Ah, I pulled Zhongli here."

Bai Chu smiled and patted Zhongli on the shoulder.

"After all, I'm not very proficient in music, so I may not be able to tell. But, if Zhongli comes, it will be fine, right? After all, what are you hiding from?"

Bai Chu looked to the other side in confusion, wanting to sneak away, and asked strangely. After being pointed out by him, he froze in his movements, then turned around awkwardly and smiled at Zhongli.

"Hehe, that, what a coincidence..."

"What a coincidence. Didn't you say you want to compare with A Ping to see which one is better?"

The weird look between them really confused Bai Chu and A Ping, who looked at her doubtfully.

Meeting Zhong Li's helpless gaze, he finally twitched his lips and pulled Bai Chu aside to whisper while a few people looked at him with doubts.

"Bai Chu, you idiot!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Why are you scolding me all of a sudden?

Bai Chu was confused.

"Idiot, do you think I didn't ask Zhongli to be the referee?"

Seeing the confused look on his face, Ji Zhi suddenly laughed out of anger, hit him lightly, and said with some tears in his eyes.

"Zhongli saw me last time when I was with A Pingbi, and then my dust-cleaning bell was confiscated by Zhongli..."

"Oh, I finally got it back secretly!"

"... "

Bai Chu twitched the corner of his mouth.

Why does it feel like a child who was banned from playing with mobile phones secretly took his mobile phone back?

However, in order to reassure her, he still raised his head and gave her a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"You said so! If it's confiscated again, I'll ask you for it!"

"Yeah, that's what I said."

Bai Chu nodded calmly.

However, if it is really confiscated...

What does Zhongli confiscated have to do with me?

whee.

"Well, then..."

With his assurance, although it still felt a little wrong, he finally took out the bell that he had just put away and walked slowly to the opposite side of A Ping.

Seeing the bell on her hand, Zhongli looked helpless.

He had known for a long time that he would finally get the bell back. He originally planned to turn a blind eye and pretend it was invisible, but...

Just then, he was pulled over by Bai Chu, and...

Quite a coincidence, huh.

At that time, he confiscated the final bell just to ask her to calm down and stop arguing with A Ping all day long... As a result, not long after she got it back, it started again.

In this case, there is nothing we can do.

After taking a deep look, Zhongli looked away.

Well, after this time, I won’t give it to her for the time being.

After all, he still didn't know what Zhongli was thinking, but he felt a coldness on his body and trembled unconsciously.

However, when she saw A Ping who had already set up the guqin opposite and was ready to start, she puffed up her chest again and looked like she had a chance to win.

"A Ping, let's play a simple piece of music to see if you can play it better or my dust-cleaning bell is better!"

"Huh, music is something that people express their feelings... How can a mere mechanical technique compare to a piece of music that embodies people's emotions?"

Not to be outdone, A Ping retorted calmly without even a trace of change on her cold face. Bai Chu and Zhongli sat aside, looking at the two people facing each other tit for tat. Bai Chu gently poked Zhongli.

"Zhongli, who do you think is better?"

"As far as universal rationality is concerned..."

"Oh, when did you speak so harshly? Stop thinking about your universal rationality."

Bai Chu was impatient, patted his head and urged.

This kid, who used to speak openly, is now very polite.

However, as a foreign language speaker, he could understand, but he felt a little disgusted that it was like this in front of him.

"Mr. Bai..."

Being treated like a child, Zhongli smiled helplessly.

Who would have thought that the future "Emperor of the Rock King" would sit here and be beaten obediently, without even daring to fight back.

"Well... I don't think there's any comparison at all."

After being beaten like this by Bai Chu, Zhongli stopped showing off his formal expression and spoke straightforwardly. After hearing his answer, Bai Chu also nodded in sympathy.

"That's right, there's nothing to compare with..."

After all, she said that her "Cleaning Bell" cannot completely replace human composing music, and can only create some simple movements.

Therefore, there is absolutely no comparison, and I don't know what these two idiots are comparing.

"Oh, Zhongli."

Bai Chu poked him again. Zhongli turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.

Bai Chu coughed twice and glanced at Gui Zhong. After seeing that she didn't pay attention, he waved to Zhongli and motioned for him to come over.

Although Zhong Li was a little confused and didn't understand what he wanted to say, he still obediently put his ear to it.

"Mr. Bai, what's wrong?"

"Ahem, what's that?" Bai Chu looked a little embarrassed and whispered in Zhongli's ear.

"After they finish competing, you can find an excuse to get the last bell and let me play with it for two days."

"Don't worry, I will definitely play it secretly so that no one will eventually find out. I will return it to you when I've had enough fun."

"Mr. Bai, this is not a matter of playing quietly..."

Zhongli smiled bitterly.

I'll pay you back when he's had enough... Based on his understanding of Bai Chu, he won't even know that it's the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse after he's had enough.

Also, after all, she was raised by you, is it really okay for you to treat her like this?
