"Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Hu Tao and Zhong Li sat in the second row, not far from everyone else.
Xia Zhi glanced at it, his expression thoughtful.
This information alone shows that although the Hall of Rebirth is not very popular among ordinary people, it actually holds a very high position in the Liyue government.
After a while, Xia Zhi saw Miss Gan Yu's figure appear in his God's-eye view.
Her new clothes today were very eye-catching and perfectly accentuated her generous figure.
"Senior Sister Gan Yu."
"Junior Sister Shen He, Mr. Xia, and everyone else."
"Miss Gan Yu, please have a seat."
"Ah."
"Miss Gan Yu is a little late."
Gan Yu blushed and stammered, "I'm sorry."
She had actually gotten up a long time ago, but she was struggling with what to wear today and hesitated for a long time before finally choosing her clothes and rushing over.
"It's alright, it's alright. Have you had breakfast?"
I ate a little bit on the way.
"A little bit? That's definitely not enough, is it? Let's have some pastries."
"Ah."
“We also brought some spicy snacks, Miss Gan Yu, please have a taste.”
"it is good."
After a while, Miss Yanfei arrived, accompanied by Grandma Ping, Yaoyao, and two True Lords.
They came over together to say hello.
Xia Zhi smiled and invited them to sit down together.
Grandma Ping, Miss Yanfei, and Yaoyao agreed.
The two True Lords glanced at the Great Compassion Tree King, who had a half-smile on his face, and quickly refused, "Forget it, your table is almost full, we won't squeeze in with you, let's go sit with Mr. Zhongli instead."
"Alright."
The two True Lords left with two bags of spicy strips.
Xia Zhi turned her head, looked at her cousin with a suspicious expression, and asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel like they're afraid of you?"
The Great Compassion Tree King frowned: "Cousin, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"
Did they recognize you?
"I do not know."
"..."
Xia Zhi shook his head.
Chatting and laughing, they waited a while longer. During this time, many guests were attracted by the aroma of spicy strips and unconsciously looked over at everyone, wondering who these people were who could sit in the front row, while secretly swallowing their saliva.
Then, a gong sounded, and there was some noise from the stage.
The previously noisy venue immediately quieted down. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the stage, whether they were interested or not.
The play "The Goddess Splits the Temple" is about to begin.
Xia Zhi, holding his teacup, suddenly chuckled softly.
In my seat, a goddess sits to my left and a goddess sits to my right.
Also interesting.
Chapter 269 My Relationship with Miss Yun Jin is Pure and Innocent
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the curtain on the stage was finally drawn back.
Miss Yun Jin, dressed in theatrical costume, stood on the stage, turned around, and gently parted her lips to sing the lyrics that Xia Zhi knew all too well.
“What a pity…”
For Ms. Yun Jin, this is her second performance in this new play.
Unlike the first audition at Heyu Teahouse, this performance was on a much larger scale.
The audience below the stage consisted entirely of Liyue's elite. Even if she sang poorly today, her performance of "The Goddess's Cleave" would still become famous through this banquet. But she would never allow that to happen.
She hasn't left the house these past few days, practicing countless times at home for this performance, even continuing to practice in her dreams while she's asleep.
Having poured so much effort into it, she knew she would succeed—for herself, for her parents, for Yunhan Society, and for the mysterious guest who had carefully guided her in her dreams…
Miss Yun Jin couldn't help but sigh when she thought of that mysterious guest surnamed Xia.
She never saw her confidante again after that very friendly and in-depth conversation between the two that night.
No matter what she tried—whether to fall asleep in the morning, at noon, in the evening, or late at night—she could no longer have that dream.
She couldn't help but suspect that Mr. Xia didn't actually exist, and that she only had such a vivid dream because she was too preoccupied with her new play.
But for some reason, she felt that Mr. Xia looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen him before at the Heyu Teahouse...
Ugh……
Before the performance, Miss Yun Jin had these thoughts swirling in her mind for no apparent reason. But when she heard the gong, she cleared her mind of all distractions and focused her attention on the performance in front of her.
As the curtain rose, Miss Yun Jin slowly turned around and began to sing the lyrics: "Alas..."
At the same time, her gaze fell upon the guests below the stage.
Hey?
Miss Yun Jin's eyes were immediately drawn to a somewhat familiar figure sitting in the first row.
Although he was wearing black glasses and new clothes, she recognized him at first glance!
He was the Mr. Xia she had been longing for these past few days, the one she had met and had deep conversations with in her dreams and considered a confidant!
The black glasses he was wearing instantly brought back her memories!
It was that strange customer who once listened to her sing at the Heyu Teahouse!
No wonder he looked so familiar!
Miss Yun Jin felt a surge of excitement and her composure faltered slightly.
At that moment, she saw Xia Zhi smile and raise his hand, pressing it slightly towards her, as if to remind her.
Miss Yun Jin suddenly came to her senses. Fortunately, her singing skills were superb, and she did not make any mistakes in her performance.
She took a deep look at Xia Zhi sitting in the audience, then suddenly smiled, stunning the other audience members.
Afterwards, Miss Yun Jin continued performing.
"Oh?"
Zhong Li, sitting in the second row, looked at Miss Yun Jin on the stage with a slightly surprised expression.
Although to outsiders it seemed that Miss Yun Jin's opera singing hadn't changed much, to someone with an "artistic appreciation" ear, the opera sounded completely different from before.
It was as if an incredibly rich emotion had suddenly been injected into the play, giving it a soul.
Zhong Li glanced at Xia Zhi sitting in front without making a sound. If he remembered correctly, Miss Yun Jin seemed to have paused slightly after seeing Mr. Xia, and then her whole demeanor changed completely.
Miss Yun Jin, do you perhaps know Mr. Xia? Is there some story between them?
Zhongli looked at Xia Zhi, secretly guessing what was going on in his mind, when he suddenly noticed that the Great Tree King sitting to Xia's left was smiling and gently pinching Xia's waist with its small hand.
Huh? What are you doing, old colleague?
Then, Zhong Li saw Shen He, who was sitting on the other side of Mr. Xia, also put his arm around Mr. Xia's arm and looked up at Miss Yun Jin on the stage as if in a show of defiance.
Hmm? Your relationship is so complicated...
Zhongli looked away with a strange expression and picked up her teacup.
Today's play was really good, no, it was really good to listen to. It's rare to hear such a good play.
the other side.
Xia Zhi was also somewhat helpless.
He only reminded Miss Yun Jin when he noticed she was distracted, but the goddess and goddess sitting next to him noticed something was wrong.
The Great Compassion Tree King reached out and gently pinched his waist, then asked in a low voice with a smile, "Cousin, what were you doing just now?"
"Nothing was done, but it hurt a lot."
