Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After hearing Jiaming's words, Ying and Paimeng were stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence.

Although they didn't know how Jiaming knew this, but...

That's what he said.

"Eh! You're asking this right away?"

Paimon's eyes were a little evasive, as if he had done something wrong.

Although in essence, both she and Xianyun were doing it for Jiaming's own good, this cannot cover up the fact that they deceived Jiaming.

Seeing Paimeng's expression, Jiaming nodded slightly and said in understanding:

"Paimon doesn't even dare to look at me, so I'm right."

"Uh... well, how did you guess that?"

"They were swaggering at first, and their behavior was a little too contrived, but once I caught up with them I realized they were quite capable."

"I'm only a few steps away from catching up, but I'm always just a few steps away..."

"Given their skills, it would be safer to change the plan, such as launching a surprise attack when we are off guard."

"Unless you tell me, the real purpose is to lure me away."

While saying this, Jiaming glanced at Paimeng unhappily, as if he found their behavior a little... weird.

If you want to act, then act more realistically. But judging from the way those two guys talked and behaved, they didn't seem like robbers, and it was hard not to guess their real purpose.

"I didn't realize you're so quick-witted..."

Paimeng scratched his head embarrassedly, as if he felt a little...embarrassed for deceiving Jiaming.

"It's not a matter of how fast it turns, it's mainly about experience. I've fought against ruthless robbers, and I've never seen anything like this."

"I finally advised them that if they wanted to 'turn over a new leaf', I would recommend them to become escorts. They can always come to Liyue Harbor to play with me."

"Eh? You can make friends with this?! You are a little too good at making friends..."

Paimeng looked at Jiaming speechlessly, thinking in his heart...if Jiaming knew that these two friends were immortals, how would he react?

wrong.

He shouldn't have any reaction.

After all, when he knew that Finina was the previous water god...he did not act particularly surprised or cautious during their subsequent interactions with her.

Paimon scratched his head, as if he didn't quite understand this.

Jiaming looked up and down at the two people in front of him, then sighed and said:

"So...you actually want to help me and ease the relationship between me and my dad?"

"Yes."

"Hey..."

Jiaming sighed slightly, his brown eyes revealing some complicated emotions, and then he continued:

"I am very grateful to you, but this matter is ultimately a conflict between me and my father that has been accumulating over time."

"Don't say the bad guys are fake. Even if they are real, I can't change the outcome even if I subdue them and bring them back..."

"You all saw the attitude he took when he asked me the question..."

Jiaming's tone was a little frustrated, as if he was upset about the fact that his father could not communicate with him in a relatively normal manner.

"That's not true! Your father is secretly worried about you, and he told us everything!"

"Hey..."

"Don't you believe it?"

Jiaming shook his head slightly, then said:

"He won't let go. No matter how much he tells others, he won't tell me. I know this better than anyone else."

"Is that true of you too?"

Ying, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"..."

Faced with Ying's question, Jiaming fell into silence.

Come to think of it...there doesn't seem to be much difference between me and my dad.

Dad wanted to use time and experience to make me realize how difficult life is, so that I could understand the path he had prepared for me.

He also wants to use time and results to make his father recognize him, so...

They never communicate with each other. No one is willing to sit down calmly and have a good chat.

So... rather than any so-called "conflict", it would be better to say that they are both stubborn and what they lack is just an opportunity to have a good chat.

"Oh, right. You told us that you wanted to show some results. Do you want to tell your father about your hard work over the years?"

"It won't work, will it? Just relying on the word 'talk'..."

"I don't know if it will work, but you haven't even tried it yet, so it's definitely useless! It's no use just listening to what others say about whether something tastes good or not, you have to try it yourself!"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said these words very decisively.

This sounded simple but surprisingly contained a lot of truth, which made Ying look sideways again and again.

She was wondering...what happened to Paimeng during this period? Why was her IQ and EQ being raised infinitely?

"Listen to us and use your little skills in socializing with your father! Try to turn him into a friend who can understand you!"

Paimeng looked at Jiaming encouragingly, as if he was expecting him to make this decision.

“It never hurts to give it a try.”

Ying nodded slightly and added.

Hearing what the two said, Jiaming was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly.

"Let me try..."

......

After doing a good job of psychological work on Jiaming, Ying and Paimeng brought him to Ye De and then left.

As a businessman, how could Ye De not see that they wanted him and his son to have a good chat?

but...

There were some things he couldn't quite bring himself to say.

For some reason, he could express his feelings for Jiaming in front of others without any obstacles.

But when Jiaming was in front of him...these words were stuck in his throat like some hard-to-swallow chaff, and he couldn't utter a single word.

In such silence, the only thing Ye De and Jia Ming could do... was drink tea.

It seemed that both of them were choosing words, but in fact, those words had been stuck in their hearts for a long time and they still couldn't say them out.

After a long silence, Jiaming and Ye De suddenly spoke:

"Dad (Jiaming)."

"..."

The sudden unanimous voice instantly disrupted the two people's thoughts, and was replaced by another suffocating silence.

Jiaming turned his head slightly, sighed and said:

"Dad, you go first."

"I have nothing to say."

Ye De turned his head slightly, and for some reason he put on the same attitude as before.

Hearing this, Jiaming sighed again, and then said softly:

"I... still want to stay in Liyue Harbor."

Ye De was not surprised that Jiaming said this, and could even say... this was natural.

"I don't support you staying in Liyue Harbor."

Ye De said this quite calmly, but this was beyond the expectations of the three people who were eavesdropping nearby.

Ying and Paimeng really didn't expect Ye De to be so stubborn, while Xianyun widened her eyes slightly, as if she found it difficult to understand Ye De's words.

If she were to say, the child has already achieved some success, then just let him do it.

That's the child's life. You can't force him to do things he doesn't like or doesn't want to do every day, right?

He is him, I am myself, and we lead two different lives. Why do we have to force our children to follow their own path?

Even if you're doing this for his own good, can't you control your personality a little and speak out nicely?

Thinking of this, Xianyun shook his head slightly, as if he was helpless about Jiaming's father.

"Forget it. After all, the purpose now is to let Ye De understand how to express his love to Jia Ming."

Xianyun nodded slightly, and then took Shenhe to the tea stall one after another.

......

Hearing Ye De's words, Jiaming closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, stood up and wanted to leave.

"You kid, listen to what I'm saying..."

Hearing this, Jiaming, who was about to get up and leave, stopped instantly, thought for a while, and sat down again.

Just when Ye De wanted to continue speaking, Xian Yun, who had just arrived at the tea table, spoke up:

"Come on, Shen He, sit over here. You must be tired from traveling all the way. Auntie can pour you a cup of hot tea. Or do you want something else to drink?"

"Not tired, no need to bother."

Shen He shook his head very cooperatively, and then said somewhat...mechanically:

"I drink whatever my aunt drinks."

"Good~"

Looking at the two people at the next table, Jiaming's eyes widened slightly, as if he didn't quite understand the current situation.

"Why are Aunt Xianyun and Shen He here too? How many people are dispatched... I... I'd better sit down first."

This situation made Jiaming a little overwhelmed for a while, and what Ying and Paimeng said before did work.

——Instead of waiting for the results to speak for themselves, it is better to communicate in advance.

If dad still refuses to communicate, or doesn't seem to be planning on communicating properly...it won't be too late to let the results speak for themselves.

While the two were silent, Xianyun said softly while making tea:

"My aunt just bought some 'Songluo Xianya'. It has a nice name and tastes good."

"You must be very busy at work during the holidays. Have you come across anything that requires your help?"

Xianyun acted like an elder who was caring towards children in Liyue Harbor, as if he wanted to use this method to let Ye De feel what it felt like to have a good relationship with a child.

"Well...there were some drunk people causing trouble, and I pressed their heads down on the table as my aunt taught me."

Upon hearing this, Ye De, who was sitting at the next table and was originally calm and was trying to figure out how to talk to Jiaming, suddenly widened his eyes.

"what?!"

As mentioned before, although he was a businessman, he had hardly ever been to Liyue Harbor.

Not only because of the high mountains and long roads, the tea business also requires very timely procurement and monitoring, which is basically no different from doing it yourself.

This kind of life has led to...Ye De's knowledge of Liyue Harbor is actually somewhat blank.

In addition, with the changes of the times, he didn't know whether Liyue Harbor today was still the same as before.

"When did the people of Liyue Port become so fierce...?"

"No, the point is not the change in customs, but Jiaming's safety... Although I am a bodyguard, I may encounter such things..."

"But the girl also said that they were drunk and causing trouble...so they are safe."

Ye De thought so in his heart.

Jiaming's mouth twitched slightly, as if he felt that the conversation between Xianyun and Shenhe was a little...difficult to evaluate.
