Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Alice, who said she needed to think about it, was dragged by Nan Zhangsheng to the teahouse, the Wanmin Hall, and then to the toy stall. She stood at the pier, looking at the sea and observing the people's lives.

Along the way, Nan Zhangsheng took great care of her and showed his determination to become a student.

This surprised Alice. She found that her perception of this person was changing, and it was getting better. This was very strange, but also somewhat reasonable.

"Ms. Alice, is there anywhere else you want to go next?" Nan Zhangsheng turned around and looked at the woman in red.

Alice hummed and said, "Forget it. We've visited enough places today. We need to record them all first. It's time to find a place to live."

As soon as he said this, Nan Zhangsheng understood immediately and said that he could stay at his house. His house is very big and the guest rooms are absolutely first-class and he is guaranteed to live comfortably.

Alice hesitated, but she was not afraid of her situation, but had other concerns, so she asked, "What about your family? Will they disagree?"

After all, she was living in someone else's house, so she had to ask everything clearly before she dared to move in. What's more, she had not forgotten the incident of being hit by a car.

Nan Zhangsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "My mother is a very good person except for the occasional joke. Seeing that I bring my friends back, she will definitely agree."

There was a strange flash in Alice's eyes, but after thinking about it, she agreed, because it was really good to have a place to stay without spending any money.

"In that case, I will leave first." Zhongli said, and without waiting for any words of persuasion to stay, he turned and left.

Nan Zhangsheng knew it very well that this idle man would definitely not leave, and Alice also sighed, thinking that this Rock King Emperor did not come openly and had to walk in the dark. He was really idle.

Chunxiang Kiln, the afterglow of the sunset, sprinkled on the white courtyard wall, adding a sense of vicissitudes of life, making people want to sigh.

"Alas, eighteen years have passed without me noticing." Nan Zhangsheng stood in the yard, with his hands behind his back, sighing like an old man.

However, if someone of a certain age is a bit older, they can tell at a glance that he is pretending to be sad, because he looks like a young boy no matter how you look at him, and does not look old at all.

Alice smiled, shook her head and said, "Being mature at a young age, especially pretending to be mature, is the most deadly. It will extinguish the desire to fight and make you stay where you are from then on."

Nan Zhangsheng quickly lowered his hands naturally, and smiled, revealing his full white teeth. "Thank you Ms. Alice for saving me, otherwise I would have died before I could even begin my journey to become your disciple!"

Alice half-closed her eyes, "He uses sweet words whenever he gets the chance. I guess he often deceives those little girls and teases them, right?"

Nan Zhangsheng patted his weak chest and said righteously, "Absolutely not. Although my behavior seems to be idle and similar to that of a rich playboy, I only indulge in half of the first two of the above, and I never flirt with girls!

I also have someone I like, we love each other, we are inseparable, and we will grow old together, live happily together, and have many children and grandchildren!"

Alice spoke up, hitting the nail on the head, "Then why didn't we see her?"

Nan Zhangsheng stumbled and almost fell, like a deflated ball. He said dejectedly, "She has gone out to sea. It will probably take several months for her to come back."

Alice then finished off the opponent with a kind of beauty that didn't care about anyone's life or death. "Then she did the right thing!"

Nan Zhangsheng suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest. Although it was invisible, it hurt even more. He couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "Let's talk about becoming your disciple, shall we?"

"It's too early. I have learned a lot in my life, and it's extremely complicated. Even if you become my disciple now, you won't be able to learn the real key points." Alice still refused, but did not resist.

Nan Zhangsheng cheered, "Okay, I will continue to work hard and try to satisfy Ms. Alice as soon as possible and get her to agree to our relationship!"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener definitely takes it seriously. A few black lines appeared on Alice's forehead. What do you mean by what's going on between them and making her satisfied? Why does it sound so harsh?

If Nan Zhangsheng knew that the other party had some wrong ideas, he would definitely shout out that he was innocent, because he was really not wrong. It was just that he had lived here for a long time and was not used to the way of speaking, and his thinking was almost forming a habit.

Fortunately, this battle that was going to last for a long time did not start because a figure walked out of the house and came into the courtyard. It was Ying'er.

Nan Zhangsheng took a few steps forward and introduced the two to each other to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings that would cause regret later.

"Mom, this is Ms. Alice. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows everything about astronomy and geography. There are few people who can rival her in history. She just came to Liyue recently, and I want her to stay at our house for a while."

"Ms. Alice, let me introduce you. This is my mother, Ying'er. She is the owner of Chunxiang Kiln. She is very clever and can make ointments of excellent quality!"

"Hello, Ms. Alice." Ying'er smiled sweetly. She was wearing a long purple dress with her braid draped over one shoulder, looking gentle and kind, which she was actually like.

Alice also smiled and responded, "Hello, sorry to bother you in the days to come."

Ying'er shook her head slightly, her smile not diminishing. "How could that be? If Ms. Alice needs anything or needs help, you can always come to me."

"Thank you." Alice nodded slightly.

Ying'er turned her head, looked at her son, and said earnestly, "Why don't you invite the lady into the house and sit down, make a pot of good tea, and chat with her. How can you let the guests stand here with you?"

Nan Zhangsheng smiled and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I didn't think it through, but can you... not just call me Madam?"

Ying'er was puzzled, but did not refute. She nodded to indicate that she understood.

Alice stood nearby, looking at the scene of her son who was a head taller than her. It was an extremely harmonious, peaceful and joyful scene.

However, she felt that the son did not look like his mother, and the mother was too young. Could she really have a son that old?

In the reception room, there was a teacup on the table, with a faint white smoke coming out of it. It was the tea that Ying'er had just brewed, the result of a casual brew.

At this time, Ying'er was busy in the kitchen, so only the two of them sat there chatting.

Alice looked at everything in the house and said calmly, "Your mother is a gentle woman with a strong heart. She manages such a large family business by herself and also takes care of you. She is really amazing."

Nan Zhangsheng smiled and said, "Just take it as a compliment from Ms. Alice, but my mother is really amazing. She dared to go to Lishajiao to play when she was ten years old, and she was not afraid of the many monsters there, so she was able to pick me up."

Alice understood in her heart that just as she had guessed, this mother and son were not biological children.

Nan Zhangsheng continued, "Although no one has said anything bad about me, I know that I am not a qualified son and cannot help my family with their worries."

Alice nodded and agreed. At least for now, that was the fact. The young man in front of her was just a handsome dude.

Nan Zhangsheng raised his lips and said with a smile: "Even when I write a book, I need to borrow someone else's hand to write it. In fact, most of it cannot be considered my achievement. It should be given to others."

Alice's eyes flashed, and she said directly: "There is indeed something wrong with your hands. They were shaking slightly from beginning to end. The same was true when you were holding the teacup in the teahouse. You almost dropped it."

Nan Zhangsheng knew that she didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words, so he didn't remind her. He laughed at himself and said, "I've had this disease since I was a child. It can't be cured, but I've figured out a little bit of it. At least I don't need others to feed me when I eat and drink."

Alice frowned, "Are you trying to play the victim?"

Nan Zhangsheng shook his head and smiled brightly, "No, I am living a good life now. I have family and friends, my loved ones also love me, and the income from my writing is enough for others to look up to me. How can you say that I am miserable?"

Alice glanced at his drooping arms, and the meaning was self-evident.

Nan Zhangsheng, however, looked unconcerned and said calmly, "People with a rich and noble fate usually have problems. How can they be perfect? ​​At least I have never seen a few people who are all-rounders, even immortals are the same!"

As he was speaking, Nan Zhangsheng stood up and said, "The food is ready, Ms. Alice, follow me to the table."

"How do you know?" Alice asked. There was no smell of food, no reminder, and the other party didn't mention it. How did she know?

Nan Zhangsheng said calmly: "It's always this time."

On the dinner table, just as Nan Zhangsheng said, there was enough food for three people. In addition to Liyue dishes, there were also Mondstadt specialties, which showed how much effort was put into it.

After dinner, Ying'er took Alice to the guest room. The overall decoration was warm, reassuring and relaxing. It was also very clean and spotless.

"Ms. Alice, does it look okay?" Ying'er asked with a smile.

Alice was a little dazed and couldn't help but say, "What do you mean it's OK? This couldn't be better."

Ying'er said, "It's fine as long as you think it's good."

Alice pondered for a moment and asked, "The guest rooms are arranged so attentively. Nan Zhangsheng must have brought his friends back often, right?"

Ying Er shook her head, "No, Mr. Zhang rarely brings friends to stay overnight at home."

Alice nodded and thought for a moment.

Ying'er then told him that he could come to her if he had any problems, and then she left. After all, it was already night, and those who went to bed early would have fallen asleep long ago.

Alice stretched her fairy-like body, then fell back and lay on the soft big bed, looking very ungraceful.

dong dong dong.

There was a brisk knock on the door, accompanied by the boy's call, "Ms. Alice, are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Alice wanted to say that she was going to sleep, but then she thought better of it. After all, this was someone else's home, so she had to give it a name.

"May I come in?"

"It's late now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come back in the morning. You have a good rest. I'll go prepare for tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony."

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet."
