Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Xiao: “I’m sorry…”

"You are not allowed to say sorry!" Su, who was lying on his shoulder, said in a rude voice, "You are not allowed to hide things from me like this anymore! If you encounter a problem, you should speak frankly and we will all help you find a solution."

Xiao: “But…” Isn’t this too much trouble for them?

"Xiao, don't think that this is causing trouble for us," Kong's eyes were gentle and tolerant, as if he saw through everything, "It's natural to help friends. Instead of making those who care about you worry, why not face the "trouble" with us."

Xiao: “Thank you…”

"You are not allowed to say thank you all the time!" The girl who was holding Xiao loosened her arms.

Realizing that this brief hug was about to end, Xiao wanted to pull the girl back into his arms for a moment, but in the end he still did not move.

Su let go of Xiao, with a red mark on his face, "Your shoulder armor hurts me, I want to switch sides."

After re-adjusting her posture, the girl sighed, "I haven't hugged Xiao for a long time. I'm almost not used to it."

There is a very light sweetness and a long-lasting bitter fragrance in the crisp wind; this is the smell of Xiao.

Suck--

By the time the girl let go of Xiao with satisfaction, the young immortal's ears had already turned red and hot.

"Congratulations on making peace," Sora smiled and clapped softly in celebration, "Do you want to go back to the box now?"

"······" When Xiao thought about facing the Emperor and the God of Wind who were competing in acting skills, and then thought about Hu Tao who was often unexpected, he felt a headache and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

Sora: "Xiao, are you okay?"

Sue: “I don’t think he’s very well.”

Suddenly he had to sit together with so many people and watch two great actors perform their acting skills. This scene must have been extremely difficult for him.

Xiao sighed, not knowing where to start.

Xiao: "I...it's hard to put it into words." He had really never seen such a scene before.

"In the past, there were many people among the immortals who liked to get together and chat. They often invited everyone to drink and have tea together. I was also dragged to join them many times."

Xiao recalled the gathering that had troubled him in the past but was now out of his mind. There was a hint of nostalgia in his voice, "The immortals always speak directly from their hearts, without so many... tricks."

Is this the culture of human dinner parties? He really couldn't understand it and couldn't get used to it.

"I understand. It's all Zhongli's fault. He has too much of a social element!" Su said deliberately.

Xiao: “No, that’s not what I meant…”

The Emperor must have done this to hide his identity and to better understand the culture and life of mortals.

"So, it's all Venti's fault?" Su began to find it very interesting to tease Xiao. "I won't give him flowers at Windblume Festival anymore!"

"You really do know his identity." Xiao understood immediately, "The God of Wind is free-spirited by nature, and his temper is as free as the sound of his flute. It would be easy for such a god to get along with humans..."

And this... is probably something he will never be able to do.

"There's no need to learn from them. Xiao just needs to be himself." Su held Xiao's hand and swung it back and forth. "You just need to learn to be more frank!"

Brave people can enjoy the world first, and frank people are more likely to be happy.

"Yeah," Xiao nodded seriously, "I... will try my best."

The three of them stood in the open space outside Xinyuexuan, looking at the completed Mingxiao Lantern in the distance, and talked a lot about each other's recent situation and mood.

"It's all your fault!" When talking about the unhappy things, Su finally couldn't help but hit Xiao three times.

If Kong is a boy who can be emo occasionally, then Xiao is a boy who is often emo and makes her emo as well.

After being beaten, Xiao reflexively wanted to apologize, but remembering that the girl forbade him to say "sorry", Xiao thought about it and changed his words of apology into words of compensation.

"Tomorrow... do you want to watch the sky lanterns with me?"

Su's eyes lit up, and he remembered that Xiao really didn't like crowded places. There might be crowds of people on the streets of Liyue Harbor tomorrow.

"I want to see the Sky Lanterns up close in Liyue Harbor," Su continued, not waiting for Xiao to say that he could come to Liyue Harbor, "Let's meet at the top of Tianheng Mountain after we're done."

The terrain there is high, so you can see the lights, and there are few people there, so you won’t be disturbed.

Xiao: “Okay.”

Kong reminded: "Su, if you want to go to the top of the mountain tomorrow, remember to bring a thick cloak." The wind on the top of the mountain was still very strong and cold.

"Why don't you just bring it for me?" Su looked at Kong in confusion, "Are you going to be with us tomorrow because of something else?"

Xiao also showed a puzzled expression, as if asking Sora, "You and Paimon are not coming?"

elf:?

Su:?

null:······

Kong smiled suddenly. Alas, Xiao's words did not reveal his true thoughts, and Su had not yet figured it out.

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden?" Su was puzzled, pulling Kong's arm and swinging it back and forth, "Are you really not going? Are you going somewhere to complete a mission? Then let's finish the mission and then go see the Sky Lantern?"

"No, no, the mission is cancelled," Sora took the girl and Xiao back to the box, "Let's go see the lights together tomorrow."

As soon as the three of them returned to the box, Paimon flew over immediately, "You guys are finally back. I've been worried for a long time. I can't even tell whether the snacks are sweet or salty!"

"It's still edible, which means it's not a big problem." Kong habitually cue Paimon with a dark cue, and then thought, "Su, how did you find me?"

He was worried that Paimon's hiding skills were not good enough, so he asked her to stay while he hid in a hidden place alone.

Su was speechless when he thought of the bright green dot on the small map that represented an empty space.

The higher the favorability, the brighter the dot. Did you know that you are about to light up the corner?

"Su's tracking skills are very good!" Paimeng endorsed Su, "She knows who is hiding where within a certain range!" They relied on Su to track down Young Master and Xiao.

"But it doesn't seem to work so well when it comes to finding people? Maybe it's because Su isn't interested in most people."

"That makes sense." Kong felt that it was normal to have some special abilities that were hard to explain. The same was true for him and Paimon.

In the box, everyone was having snacks, tea and chatting.

Zhongli and Wendy found a corner to communicate.

Zhongli: "This new friend sounds like he knows a lot about wine."

Wendy: "No, no, I can't compare to Mr. Zhongli. What if I can't hold my liquor and say something nonsense when I'm drunk? Wouldn't that make Mr. Zhongli, whom I just met not long ago, laugh at me?"

Zhongli: "I dare not, I dare not. You are the guest invited in by Hall Master Hu. How dare I laugh at you? But this "nonsense"...it's better not to say it."

Su, who was about to entrust the package to Wendy, turned away expressionlessly and even wanted to move a theater stage for them.

After a good meal and tea, the banquet is over and it's time to say goodbye.

Hu Tao escorted everyone out of Xinyue Pavilion and said, "It's getting late. We don't want to waste any more time. Let's adjourn now."

"The food and snacks are delicious. Thank you for the hospitality, Master~" Paimon said with a smile, touching his round belly.

"There's no need to say such polite words between friends," Hall Master Hu waved his hand generously, "Just remember to come again next time I treat you!"

Hu Tao looked at the night and said, "It's hard to travel at night. I'll take Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Chongyun back. I'll let you take care of the rest of the guests."

Without waiting for Zhongli to answer, Wendy waved her hand and said, "No need, no need. I have to go to the sea to meet my friends on the ship. I won't bother you, Mr. Zhongli."

There is good wine and good friends on Captain Beidou’s boat, and he can’t wait to continue the party!
