Chapter 112 Wear and tear
Chapter 112 Wear and tear
The gods had not seen each other for a long time, and when they met again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
The memories that Lei Dianying had originally buried deeply came back to his mind because of seeing his old friend.
It was already evening, the sky was filled with sunset glow, and the light of the setting sun was spreading down. I was bathing in the glow with Liyue, and I felt a little nostalgic.
"Wendy, you're still wandering around like before. Being a god is really a leisurely life."
Lei Diandian said this and nodded to Xiao as a greeting.
She had never seen him before, but she could tell at a glance that he was a member of the Yaksha clan and worthy of her attention.
Xiao has always been taciturn. After nodding, he stood aside and said nothing more.
Wendy became noisy at this time, gossiping more about Lin Bai and Lei's movie.
"Three girlfriends, you really know how to enjoy yourself, don't you?" Wendy whispered teasingly in Lin Bai's ear.
Lin Bai knew that Wendy didn't want to talk about the past too much, so as not to make Lei Dianying sad by recalling the past. Even in front of Zhongli, he was not willing to mention those things, because the past was all about war and loss.
He smiled and teased, "Why don't you find a girlfriend too?"
Wendy is obviously an old man who is thousands of years old, but he still retains the body of a teenager and his mentality is even younger. If you don't mention his age or the fact that he is a Mondstadt god, no one would be able to tell that he is already thousands of years old.
But just like Zhongli, he remained a bachelor for thousands of years, whether out of unwillingness or weariness.
And now I have no intention of falling in love at all.
All I can say is that experiencing too much is not always a good thing. The more you experience and see, the more likely you are to become numb.
Wendy waved her hands and said, "Forget it. I'm used to my freedom. I drink some wine, sing some songs, and live a carefree and happy life."
As he spoke, a bottle of wine appeared in his hand. He raised his head and drank again, saying:
"By the way, Baalzebub, let's have a meal together when the old man comes back. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so you won't refuse just because I'm on a date, right?"
When Lei Dianying saw the wine, she thought of what happened last night. She cleared her throat and nodded:
"Okay, originally I came here to have a meal with you. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and Teyvat has undergone tremendous changes. Seeing old friends is really... very emotional."
Everything has changed and now only a few of them are left. She really doesn't dare to recall the past.
Lin Bai dusted himself off and said to them:
"Then you guys go talk first. I'll go find the boss and ask her to be flexible again. I'll go to the kitchen and cook."
"Great, it would be best if we had a few more jars of wine." Wendy smiled with her eyes narrowed into crescents.
Lin Bai stretched out his hand: "Poor guy, Mora."
Wendy: "I, I'm poor too. How about we not cook and wait for the old man to come back. How about he invites us to Liuli Pavilion to drink some good wine? He doesn't have to pay anyway."
Lin Bai thought about it and it made sense. Either Hu Tao or the Fatui Dada Duck's bank account could be used for deposits, so if he followed the old man, he would always have meat to eat.
Although it's a bit "immoral", Hubes and Ducks shouldn't mind too much. At worst, I can just treat them to a meal later.
Today, not only did he undergo special training, but he also went to the ruins to rescue people. He was really tired, and he didn't really feel like cooking.
So I agreed to Wendy's proposal on the spot.
"The ruins should be fine. Ganyu and Keqing have already arrived. Zhongli should be back, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Dianying hummed, "I'm back."
With the familiar aura of the precious gold demon god, a handsome and safe figure appeared in front of them.
"I just heard someone ask me to treat you."
Zhongli glanced at Wendy and asked, "Want to eat for free?"
Wendy chuckled and said, "Baalzebub is here, let's go together."
Zhongli ignored him and looked at Lei Dianying, sighing:
"Long time no see, everyone is still the same."
This seemed to be the first time that Lei saw Morax in this state.
She didn't react at first, but when she heard his voice, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"Long time no see, Liyue is really nice, no wonder you can retire now."
If Inazuma could do the same, she would announce her retirement immediately. Unfortunately, the national conditions are different, and she cannot be so willful now.
Zhongli smiled and said, "One day you will be able to do it too. Let's go to Liuli Pavilion."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Bai with a meaningful look.
Although he didn't say anything, Lin Bai could probably guess what he wanted to say.
It’s nothing more than: Good boy, Keqing and Ganyu are not enough, we also talked about our old friend.
The iron tree blooms in the movie. From Zhongli's initial shock to his current indifference, his mental journey is probably: being in a pure land with one's mind can indeed avoid wear and tear.
It is really enviable that I can still love someone now.
Xiao, who had been silent all this time, said:
"I... won't go, Emperor."
Every time he attends a dinner party and the Emperor is present, he feels numb.
Hu Tao and the others didn't understand, and insisted on putting him in the position of a distinguished guest. The Emperor had to be below him. Isn't this a form of slow torture for him?
It made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his throat.
It makes me nervous and frightened just thinking about it.
Zhongli must know what Xiao is thinking, but he himself doesn’t care, so he also hopes that Xiao doesn’t care.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "In fact, we do need to understand Xiao, Zhongli. You are too important in his heart. He will never allow himself to be disrespectful to you in the slightest."
"But, Xiao." Lin Bai looked at Xiao again: "Look, everyone in this game is familiar with each other. Everyone knows each other's identity, so there is no need to worry about what you are worried about. You can sit anywhere. Let's go together."
Since Lin Bai said so, the Emperor’s wishes could not be disobeyed, so Xiao could only follow them back to Liyue Harbor.
Reservations are also required for the Liuli Pavilion.
In Liyue Harbor, besides Crescent Moon Pavilion, the most famous is Liuliting. The Liyue cuisine is authentic, and they also offer a variety of teas, pastries, etc. The afternoon tea is particularly rich and always packed.
When Zhongli was alone, he actually booked a private room, had a pot of tea by himself, and spent the entire afternoon eating.
So, he had actually booked a box for himself a few days ago.
Now is the perfect time to get a seat without having to queue.
"Hey, with the old man here, eating is not a problem."
Lei Dianying tilted his head in confusion: Everyone doesn’t have Mora, so why can Zhongli still get the best?
Lin Bai whispered in her ear: "Because his immediate boss is very rich, and he has a friend who is not very familiar with him but has a generous wallet to support him."
