"This journey is long, so remember to bring these common items. Don't forget to buy clothes. Your soul is not stable yet, so you must pay attention to keeping warm when traveling on weekdays... Oh, and these few dozen Exploding Flame Candies I found for you..."

Shen Qianluo continued to chatter with an expression of "When will Longlong finish talking?" written all over her pretty face. Zhongli seemed to be extremely worried about the young man going abroad alone. He emptied the house just to pack his luggage for him.

Xieluo Fox huddled in his den with his eyes half-mooned, not daring to speak. Even his cat toy was almost taken away by Zhongli, who was going to use it to tease the wind elf in his spare time.

The wind elf that was floating obediently behind the boy tilted its head, stuck to Shen Qianluo's slender shoulders, and waved its feathery arms towards Longlong, as if in a proud and provocative manner.

It was probably because Longlong had locked the wind elf outside the window in recent days in order to spend some time alone with Shen Qianluo, so he just looked at Zhongli and acted arrogant and provocative.

Zhongli looked at the wind elf with a victorious look and his eyes darkened slightly.

When Shen Qianluo raised his hand and stuffed the luggage into the space (according to Shen Qianluo's explanation, it was a technique called backpacking that he learned from the magical boy traveler Kong), and complained helplessly, "Why is Longlong so long-winded? I'm not a child anymore", he slightly turned his eyes away.

The moment he turned around, he took out a dragon from somewhere and stuffed it into the arms of the stunned boy.

Shen Qianluo indeed did not expect Zhongli's move.

The gentleman in front of him, Zhongli, who was famous in Liyue for his gentleness, was even a head taller than him. And this gentle, serious, and always caring man...

Without changing his expression, he handed over a soft, fluffy and chubby dragon pillow...

Well, after all, he is our own cute little stone. No matter how he behaves in a way that destroys his character, we can only express our love and satisfaction for him.

Shen Qianluo couldn't help but lower his head and fiddle with Longlong's chubby paws. Naturally, he liked the Longlong pillow that was based on the prototype of the young version of the emperor. He had seen this pillow before. It was created by Zhongli using magic to coax him to get up and cook that day.

but…

Do you have to bring this with you?

"Ah Li, are you worried that I'll hug other dragons when I go out and fool around, so you stuffed a pillow in my hand and ask me to hold it day and night?"

"…If you like, just hold me. I won't doubt your feelings for me, not now, and I will never doubt your feelings for me in the future."

Zhongli's answer was serious. Shen Qianluo hugged the pillow and stood on tiptoe, her pretty face suddenly approaching him: "Are you serious? Then I will find it in the way and throw Longlong into the corner of the backpack."

"No." Zhongli's answer was once again full of confidence.

Shen Qianluo couldn't help but chuckle as the man caressed her delicate cheek and rubbed it lingeringly: "Why not?"

He was then lowered by Longlong, who kissed his forehead and said, "How could I bear to restrict your words and actions? It's just that this thing means that I am still with you when you are away. If you don't care about it... I will be unhappy."

Blinking his eyes and slowly turning his head away, Shen Qianluo, who was suddenly aroused, said in a faint voice: "...Then I will hold you every night, nibbling and biting you, please don't be disgusted."

Looking at the boy hiding the slight blush on his cheeks, Zhongli curled his lips slightly: "No, I'm handing it over to you, which means you can do whatever you want. It's yours, and you can do whatever you want with it."

Shen Qianluo:!

When did Longlong learn all these sweet words? Facing this handsome face, he could no longer bear it——

The inseparable couple finally had to face a separation for several days. Standing at the dock, they wanted to say something but stopped themselves. When the young man decided to turn around and board the Southern Cross moored on the shore, Zhongli called him again: "Qianluo..."

"Don't worry. Although I'm a weak demon god, I can take care of myself. Longlong, just stay at home and wait for me to come back."

All the words he wanted to say were blocked by the young man's smiling words. Shen Qianluo finally waved at him and went onto the deck in good spirits.

Standing alone in the cold wind, Zhongli stared at his back as he disappeared from his sight.

He finally sighed and chose to respect the boy's will.

Including the sentence that has been lingering in my heart for a long time, but I have never said it out loud, "If you don't mind, I can actually go with you."

Liyue, who no longer walks with the gods, has already returned to the right track. As a retired god, it is not impossible for him to go out for a parade with Shen Qianluo and travel around Teyvat anonymously.

But seeing Shen Qianluo excitedly shaking him off, eager to go out and play in the waves...

Zhongli looked back again and saw that the Longlong pillow was still gently held in the young man's arms.

Ok……

Just let him go for now.

When they climbed up the Southern Cross, the sea breeze blew up the ends of the boy's hair and clothes. Shen Qianluo only glanced sideways and noticed the white-haired boy sitting on one knee at the highest point.

The red maple leaves embroidered on his clothes were rustling, the Eye of the God of Wind hung on his shoulder, and a tuft of red highlights swaying in the wind were mixed in his hair. He looked like a young man who was unrestrained and gentle.

Probably because he was looking far and wide, the other party had noticed this extraordinary young god when Shen Qianluo boarded the ship.

He immediately jumped down with quick and neat movements, and landed steadily in front of Shen Qianluo. When he stretched out his hand and smiled, his well-behaved and handsome face looked particularly friendly.

"Hello, you must be the Flute God of Liyue. The big sister has greeted me in advance. My name is Fengyuan Manye, and I am your host for this voyage. I have heard that the Flute God Qianluo is knowledgeable, but if you encounter any trouble while sailing on the sea, just come to me. I will be honored to help you solve your doubts."

The young man had a gentle expression and his breath was soft and comfortable, but suddenly, Shen Qianluo froze.

He stared at the startled boy with deep, even deeper eyes. The air around him became increasingly gloomy, and even the hair on his head stood up all of a sudden.

Maple leaf...what kind of leaf?
