Playing house in the anime world

"We're here. This is it." Zhongli led a few people through twists and turns in Feiyunpo and finally arrived in front of a small house.

"There is actually such a corner in Feiyunpo. I never noticed it before." Paimeng looked at this small building which looked very ordinary so far. She firmly believed that as long as the door was opened, the style inside would be completely opposite to the simple appearance.

"This is a rare quiet place in the downtown area, and it's so high!" Wendy looked at the road they had just walked on. This small building was against the mountain. The houses in this area were all built on platforms against the mountain, and then the houses were built on the platforms.

Zhongli's house is right on the top platform, with a very good view. It is even level with the buildings in the center of Feiyunpo. And because there are no buildings blocking the view in front, the view is unobstructed.

Moreover, his house is backed by a mountain on one side and faces the port and the sea on the other.

"As expected of Zhongli, he can actually find a house like this." Ying suddenly felt that the dormitory where Gojo Aiko and the others lived was not so nice anymore.

"It was just a coincidence that I came across this house." Zhongli bought this house several years ago. He bought this house when he decided to serve as a guest official in the Wangsheng Hall.

After opening the door, Paimon pushed Gojo Aiko and ran in impatiently.

"Wow--" Paimon looked at the scene in front of her. Although it was different from the magnificent appearance she had imagined, it was indeed very exquisite.

“It’s very low-key and luxurious.” Aiko Gojo didn’t know what the decoration of an ordinary Liyue person’s home was like, but the decoration of Zhongli’s house was very “low-key and luxurious”.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything special. It's nice looking, but not eye-popping.

But if you look closely, you can see that something is wrong.

The first thing was the furnishings displayed on the antique display cabinet in the living room. She didn’t know if those were real antiques, but they really looked like priceless treasures.

There is also the screen, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and even the cushions on the chairs. They all seem to be of extraordinary quality.

"These furnitures are very suitable for Zhongli's temperament...." Paimon looked at the antique furniture and felt that Zhongli would be particularly suitable to sit in this house.

"My temperament?" Zhongli didn't think there was anything special about his furniture. He bought them all in Liyue Harbor, and only a few of them were his former collections.

"How should I put it...it's just..." Paimon hesitated, not knowing what to say. She originally wanted to say that he had the temperament of Geo King, but suddenly remembered that Gojo Aiko didn't know that Zhongli was Geo King.

"What does Uncle Zhongli's kitchen look like?" Aiko Gojo was a little curious whether the style of the kitchen would be the same as the living room outside?

"The kitchen is over there." Zhongli opened a door on the corridor next to the living room. "The Lantern Festival is coming soon. I bought a lot of things, so it may be a bit messy."

Paimon looked suspicious, she didn't believe that the kitchen would be so messy!

"Wow--" Aiko Gojo poked her head in and found that the kitchen was unexpectedly large, with two large iron stoves and some portable stoves.

There are also many closets and cabinets for storing things, and there are some ceramic pots on the windowsill with some things planted in them.

There were some cloth bags and bamboo baskets scattered on the floor in front of the cabinet. They should be the things Zhongli said he bought for the Lantern Festival.

But apart from this pile of untied things, the whole kitchen is actually very clean and tidy.

“Sure enough…it’s actually not messy at all…” Paimon leaned over to take a curious look and found that Zhongli seemed to have bought almonds and sugar, as well as flour and rice.

"Hey, is there any wine?" Wendy secretly opened the cabinet and found it was full of pots and pans.

"I think there should be some, right?" Although Paimeng had never seen Zhongli drink, she remembered that Zhongli had talked about wine before, and given Zhongli's particularity, he must drink the best kind of wine.

"It's a pity that the dandelion wine in Liyue Harbor is more expensive than that in Mondstadt!" Wendy looked left and right, and actually found some wine, but it was Liyue's local rice wine.

"After all, it was shipped from Mondstadt, so the price must be much more expensive!" Paimon felt that they also had it in their backpacks, which was given by Master Diluk.

Naturally, neither she nor Ying drank alcohol, so the wine was just placed in the backpack, waiting to be used in the future, such as as a gift to someone.

"Oh, Mr. Zhongli, it's really comfortable here!" Wendy returned to the living room with the rice wine, lay down on the couch happily, and thought that she would sleep here tonight!

"Uh... he is really not polite at all!" Paimon shook his head helplessly, but the relationship between the God of Wind and the God of Rock must be good anyway, so Zhongli probably wouldn't mind.

"Where's the thrush?" Aiko Gojo walked around the living room but didn't see any.

"That's right! We are here to see the thrush!" Paimon slapped his head, having completely forgotten his purpose!

"The thrush is kept in a cage on the second-floor balcony." Zhongli took a few people to the second floor.

This house actually has two and a half floors, which is more than enough for Zhongli to live in alone. The second floor is his bedroom and study, and the last half floor in the attic is a tea room.

"What a beautiful little bird!" Aiko Gojo walked to the side of the cage and carefully observed the bird in the cage.

"By the way, can we raise a sparrow? It's so cute!" Paimon also flew over to take a look.

"That should be ok, right? How about we catch some and put them in the Chen Ge Pot?" Ying thought about the environment in the Chen Ge Pot. It should be ok to catch some small animals and let them roam freely. They should be able to survive on their own without special care.

At worst, there's still A Yuan watching over it. It doesn't have much to do in the pot usually. It usually helps to grow vegetables and flowers, or forge furniture, draw design drawings, and raise some small animals. It should be able to have some new entertainment.

"Great! I also want to raise ducks! I can also eat duck legs! Hehe~" Paimon started to crave food again.

"Why don't we go now?" Paimeng looked at the sky outside. It was still not too late to catch the Tutankhamun before it got dark!

"Aiko, do you want to go with us?" Ying turned and asked Gojo Aiko.

Aiko Gojo thought about it and shook her head.

It's almost time for dinner. It's not suitable to run around at this time, and it's also a bit dangerous. After all, everyone needs to rest at this time and there are a lot of people.

"Then...how about Zhongli, you take your beloved son to Wanmin Hall first? We'll come find you after we catch the Tuanque!" Paimon happily imagined that they could go directly to Wanmin Hall for dinner after catching the Tuanque.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhongli naturally didn't mind taking this job.

"Zhongli, just take care of it. Remember to order more delicious food!" Paimon still trusts Zhongli very much in this regard.

So, Paimon and Ying left. Zhongli just wanted to turn around and call Wendy, but found that he had fallen asleep in a daze after drinking some wine.

To be precise, he was pretending to be asleep.

"In that case, let's pack some and bring them back. Let's go to Wanmin Hall first." Zhongli decided to pack a portion of tender pepper chicken and stir-fried pork slices for Wendy later.

Gojo Aiko immediately came over and held Zhongli's hand.

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then as soon as he went out, he saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, Keqing, where did you kidnap this child? Is it just born?"

Kurumi folded his arms across his chest, a look of doubt on his face.
