Chapter 188 The afternoon of drinking tea with Zhongli
October 10st, PM 31:1, the villa on the edge of Dongxi Lake.

After Gu Tong walked out of the room, he searched the entire second and first floors, but he hadn't seen Kakashi, Erikai and the others, and it seemed that no one was there in the entire villa.

"Mr. Zhongli, I need your help with something."

Gu Tong quickly found Zhongli who was sitting alone in the courtyard sipping tea.

Zhong Li's golden eyes reflected Gu Tong's slightly tired face, "Is it work?"

Gu Tong replied: "Yes, work."

Zhongli then asked: "Is it something that must be done today?"

"Not really." Gu Tong replied.

"Then take a while, your complexion is not very good, maybe you need to take a good rest first," Zhongli said calmly;
"It's rare to have free time, why not have a cup of fragrant tea with me, it will definitely make you happy."

"However, I still have other things to do." Gu Tong hesitated for half a second.

He really wanted to work on the animated short film after finishing the arena video. To be honest, these two things weighed on his heart, which made him a little annoyed.

"Even rocks need rest, let alone people. Since I met you until now, you haven't let yourself relax for a moment," Zhong Li said, looking at Gu Tong's pale face:

"You should reflect on whether you are putting too much pressure on yourself?"

"Maybe." Gu Tong was silent for a moment, and sat opposite Zhong Li.

Too many things happened recently, one after another, without giving him a chance to breathe.

He felt like a puppet being ridden by time, but the hard work was really meaningful, at least he got a lot of things.

Zhongli picked up the teapot, poured some tea into the teacup in front of him, and then handed the teacup to Gu Tong, "You don't need to think too much when tasting tea."

Gu Tong took the teacup and said, "Then I'll drink tea with Mr. Zhongli."

"I made the tea myself, maybe the taste is not good enough, but it's not too bad." Zhong Li said.

"No, Mr. Zhongli's craftsmanship is very good, there is no doubt about it." Gu Tong drank the fragrant tea, looking complicatedly at the flowers and grass in the courtyard that were full of vitality under the afternoon sun.

He still remembers that at the beginning he was just a poor boy who would be rejected with the words "Your financial conditions are not good, save yourself some money" even if you invited Chu Zihang to a restaurant, but now life is becoming clearer day by day.

Gu Tong spent a period of leisure time with Zhongli, during which he listened to Zhongli talk a lot about Liyue's people and things, as well as the history thousands of years ago.

Zhongli's storytelling is very charming, and his deep voice has the charm of pulling you into the story unconsciously.

Gu Tong listened with great interest, he could clearly feel Zhongli's sincere feelings for Liyue in his words, and the tea that Zhongli made was extremely fragrant.

He doesn't usually drink tea very much, but he does drink it with great taste.

Three or four hours passed like this, and Gu Tong almost forgot that his purpose of coming here was to ask Zhong Li to help him film a skin care product advertisement.

Unknowingly, it was almost dusk, and the sky gathered the radiance of the sun from the earth, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in a layer of light orange.

Gu Tong asked: "Speaking of which, what did Lin and the others do? Why can't I see anyone at noon?"

Zhong Li said without hesitation: "They have all gone out, today is a special day, so we need to prepare something."

Gu Tong was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do?"

Zhong Li replied with a slight smile: "This is a secret."

"Anyway, Kakashi is taking them with me, so I'm not too worried," Gu Tong said after a moment of silence, "But will Doraemon be too conspicuous walking on the street?"

"There are so many wonders in this world, I think people are not surprised by them, and they will simply think that what they see is just a fake machine." Zhong Li took a sip of green tea and said:

"You worry about too many things, try to let your mind and body relax."

Gu Tong smiled dryly and replied: "That's true, even Mr. Zhongli, who has not been in this world for a long time, understands the truth."

"Look at the flowers and grass in the garden, the fish in the pond, everything is well taken care of," Zhongli said:

"Besides, the friends gathered from other worlds are also working hard to get along with this world. Why do I think you always look preoccupied, as if you have a slight sense of isolation from this world."

Gu Tong was stunned for a moment. He was silent and seemed unable to refute.

He actually knows that he has been busy running to various dimensional places, has been busy communicating with Naxiu in his mind, and has been obsessed with chasing the back of Chu Zihang who is no longer in this world.

Every day, either his consciousness or his body is in a different world, he worries about the freedom and situation of those embodied characters that he doesn't even have a chance with.

Inadvertently, he has been alienated from this world for an unknown amount of time. It seems that he has not been in this world for even a day for a long, long time.

On the contrary, the strangeness brought to him by this world became stronger and stronger.

Coupled with the fact that he doesn't have any social friends or even family members to contact, it seems that he has become more and more unable to integrate into this world.

Gu Tong was silent for a long time and said: "Mr. Zhongli is really observant and meticulous."

"This is what Mr. Kakashi and I agree on," Zhong Li said, looking into Gu Tong's eyes:

"He said that you seem to be persistently pursuing something despite your tired face, but he can't convince you. He thinks maybe you will listen to me."

Gu Tong rubbed his nose, curled his mouth and said, "Ms. Kakashi is also worried. I remember that I said before that I want to learn cooking from him. I am really too busy recently. The next time will be Stay in this world well, don’t run around, and get along with everyone more.”

At this moment, Zhongli seemed to be able to hear the commotion coming from the villa. Lin's voice was very active, as if she was planning something.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Zhongli lured Gu Tong away, let's get ready!" Lin said loudly.

"Lin, keep your voice down, what if you overhear?" Uchiha Obito said.

Doraemon said a little depressed: "Ah, I forgot to buy dorayaki, forget it, anyway, today is that day."

"They're back, I..." Gu Tong was interrupted by Zhong Li before he could finish his sentence.

Zhong Li asked, "So, what is the job you just said that needs my help?"

Gu Tong said with some puzzlement: "Ah, let's forget about the work just now, and talk about it in two days. There is no rush."

Yan Luo Gu Tong walked towards the first floor of the villa.

Suddenly a ridge rose from the grass and stopped Gu Tong in front of him.

Gu Tong looked at this huge rocky ridge, his back was covered with cold sweat, and the corners of his eyes danced, "That...I said, Mr. Zhongli?"

With a puzzled face, he turned his head to look at Zhongli who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Why not." Zhongli's face seemed to be hiding something, "Sit down and have a cup of tea with me for a while?"

"I don't want it," Gu Tong's mouth twitched, "I've already had afternoon tea, and Mr. Zhongli, can you stop forming a rock pillar all of a sudden, my heart really can't stand it."

"Sorry," Zhongli did not let the rock pillar disappear. He took another sip of tea thoughtfully and said:

"I just think work should be more important, and you can sit down and talk to me."

Gu Tong felt that he was going numb, and he asked helplessly, "Well, but you said just now that you could take a break?"

Nohara Lin opened the window on the second floor and covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the two people in the courtyard:

"Ah! Gu Tong doesn't seem to have gone out, it's too bad, what I just said will not be heard by Mr. Gu Tong, right?"

Erika at the side held up her brochure, and wrote some words complaining, "Lin is an idiot, please close the window."

Kakashi said: "It's okay, I believe Mr. Zhongli will be able to smooth things over."

Lin quickly closed the window on the second floor under Gu Tong's inexplicable expression.

Gu Tong tried to walk around the rocky ridge to the living room on the first floor.

"Boom!" Suddenly, another small rock ridge rose in front of him.

suffocated.
It literally stopped my heart for a second.
"I say."

Gu Tong helplessly turned his head to look at Zhongli, who was drinking tea and pretending to be calm, and sighed unreasonably while covering his forehead:

"Mr. Zhongli, what exactly do you want to do?"
