"Is this a new toy from the toy company? Where is my brother?"

Tok scratched his head and looked at Yun Qing with some confusion. For a moment he almost thought that this duck was his brother, but when he touched it, he felt something was wrong.

My ducks are alive.

"Isn't this your brother?"

After listening to Yun Qing's words, Tok picked up the duck again and looked at it carefully, then nodded and gave Yun Qing a firm look: This is not my brother!

"Really? Then I'll look for it again."

Yun Qing pretended to sigh in disappointment, then searched through the curtains again. After a moment, Yun Qing's brows relaxed: "Found it!"

"quack!"

A white duck was shaken out from the curtain by Yun Qing and ran around on the snow.

"elder brother!"

Tok ran up to chase the duck, while Tonya, Anton and his parents behind him were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.

Finally, Tok caught the "Dada Duck" and after rubbing its head, he felt something was wrong: this was not my duck.

My ducks don't feel that good.

"Three, two, one, thump!"

Yun Qing waved the curtain again, and this time, a human-shaped Tartaglia appeared in front of everyone, and the magic trick of turning a living duck into a living duck was a complete success!

"it is good!"

The crowd cheered, not caring at all that the person who was conjured up was their executive officer. When Tartaglia came out, he looked around in confusion, then grabbed Yun Qing's arm.

"Yun Qing, where did you take me? Why do I look so much like Li Yue?"

"Yes, it's Liyue. How was it? Did you see Zhongli? Okay, okay, let's all go! Stop crowding around!"

Seeing that the crowd around was getting denser and denser, Yun Qing hurried to disperse. There was nothing to do today, and even if he wanted to watch, he couldn't.

However, Yun Qing seemed to have found a way to avoid Pan Fugui's sanctions.

Speaking of which, Yun Qing thought of performing a magic trick mainly because he remembered the Hearth House, and the Hearth House reminded Yun Qing of Linny.

According to the seniority of the Hearth House, Linnie should be considered his "younger brother", right?

The day passed quickly. After spending a night at Dadalia's house, Yun Qing said goodbye to the family early in the morning.

"Goodbye, big brother!" "Goodbye, brother Yun Qing!" "See you next time, buddy!"

Yun Qing never expected that the whole family would come to the train station to see her off. Sitting in the carriage, Yun Qing looked at the big bag of potatoes that Tartaglia's mother stuffed into her and the two fish that Tartaglia's father gave her at her feet and fell into deep thought.

Is this how the people of Solstice treat their guests?

The train gradually left the town of Sea Crusher, and the Star Train made a jump to Winterfell.

There was heavy snow falling in Winterfell City. Yun Qing was wearing a cloak and walking alone on the streets of Winterfell City.

Yun Qing was very familiar with this place. As an orphan from the Hearth House, he grew up here. But this place was also very unfamiliar. As a time traveler, he had only stayed in Winterfell for a few days.

What's more, the storyline had not yet reached winter before I traveled through time.

In comparison, Yun Qing might prefer to regard Liyue as home.

After crossing the street, a huge circular wall appeared in front of Yun Qing. The building inside the wall was the Winter Palace.

The Union Jack on the three tower spires symbolizes the winter solstice, and gusts of cold air are coming out of the Winter Palace.

Entering the Winter Palace, Yun Qing searched the hall and various rooms for a long time but couldn't find the Queen and the Harlequin. It seemed that there were only Fatui soldiers guarding the hall.

"Master Puppet, Master Alecino is looking for you."

A wind servant found Yun Qing. Yun Qing was not surprised because she had returned to Winter Solstice without hiding her whereabouts, so anyone who was interested could find out that she was in Winter Solstice City with a quick check.

But what does the [servant] want from me?

Yun Qing remembered that the last time the [servant] came to him for something was at the Hearth House, and it was the [servant] who told him to appoint him as the last executive officer.

"lead the way."

The Wind Servant is one of the most elegant Fatui soldiers. Their hats, masks, dresses, and canes that can be transformed into weapons allow them to kill enemies in the most elegant way possible.

But correspondingly, when there are no enemies, this is too slow!

Isn't it just going to the Hearth House? Yun Qing knew the way and would have gone there by herself if she had known.

Familiar Fireplace House, familiar children, the only unfamiliar thing is the renovated decoration inside Fireplace House. Is this another drama of decorating the house right after graduating from school?

Arriving at the door of the [Servant]'s office, the wind servant bowed slightly, holding the cane in his right hand and raising his left hand horizontally.

"please."

Yun Qing walked into the office and saw the [servant] sitting behind the desk with his hands clenched, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Lord Alechino."

Yun Qing bowed lightly and sat naturally on the chair opposite the [servant]. The [servant] raised his head, and the firelight from the fireplace was reflected in his X-shaped pupils, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Blatino, you don't have to be so respectful to me now."

Yun Qing has already walked out of the Hearth House and become an executive officer, on the same level as the [servants], so there is really no need for this.

But his intuition told him that the servant must know something that he didn't know.

"How can that be possible? Respected 'Father'."

Hearing Yun Qing's words, the servant's expression became a little subtle. She smiled at Yun Qing, and then her voice became low.

"I remember never asking you to call me 'father', Ilya Shenetsevich?"

"Indeed not, but I came from the Hearth House anyway, didn't I?"

Sure enough, something was wrong. Even a servant would never refuse a child from the Hearth House to call her "father", and was even very satisfied with the title.

But Yun Qing had never been asked to call her like this since she was a child, so Yun Qing deliberately mentioned this word in front of her just to see the reaction of the [servant].

"You're not exactly my 'child', Buratino."

"Why not?"

The children raised in the Hearth House are all Alechino's children. This can be known by simply asking around in the Kingdom of Winter, but why did the [Servant] say "not completely"?

"I don't know your background. After the previous [servant] stepped down, Piero came to see me. Do you know what he told me?"

[Servant] glanced at Yun Qing while speaking, recalling past events.

"All ears."

"'Ilya Shenetsevich, he is being fostered at Hearth House. Don't let him be threatened and avoid contact with him until he comes of age.' You don't have to call me 'father' since I haven't even seen you."

After listening to the [Servant]'s words, Yun Qing thought carefully about the life course of her original owner. She came to the Hearth House when she had no memories, and heard that the [Servant] was overthrown when she was 8 years old. She had never even met the first dean.

And in the years that followed, he first met his current [Servant] on the eve of his appointment.

"But as a child who has lived in the Hearth House since childhood, I should respect you as 'Father', right?"

As for why Yun Qing is so obsessed with recognizing his "father", firstly, it is to follow the trend as all his brothers and sisters call him that; secondly, as a small, last-placed person, isn't it normal for Yun Qing to try to build a relationship with the executive who is at the front seat?
