Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

Sitting with Navia at a small booth next to the square, Link looked thoughtfully at the lively and cheerful children.

Unlike Link's imagination, although these children were more or less damaged due to their birth, they all looked very cheerful and there was nothing particularly gloomy.

"Do you like children very much?" The man's originally gentle voice seemed a little confused at this moment.

"Well... I like children." Navia said softly, "Seeing them makes me feel like I saw my old self."

"I used to be like this, naive and lively. I believed that justice would definitely defeat evil, and that hard work would definitely pay off. I was very naive... but I didn't think too much about it, so I was very happy."

"Where's Mr. Link, do you like children?"

"I don't know." Link shook his head. His deep purple eyes were like the water of a deep pool. It seemed calm, but from time to time some bubbles would surface.

This may also mean that there are living things under this deep pool and it is not a pool of stagnant water.

"Mr. Link?" Navia was a little curious about Link's answer.

Link did not respond quickly to Navia this time, but fell into rare silence.

In the Morgan family, in order to maintain the purity of the aristocratic bloodline, there are cases of consanguineous marriage. But in genetics, this is actually backward behavior.

In addition to normal children, there are two common conditions for the descendants of the Morgan family, one is deformed, and the other is genius. The deformed children will be abandoned, but the geniuses will be retained.

Most of the children Link came into contact with in his family had some degree of illness. They were either ugly or had low IQs, and were often unable to communicate.

These inferior and defective products left a deep impression on Link's mind. He had woken up from his dreams many times, dreaming that he had become a father and that the child his wife gave birth to was a monster with eyes connected together.

Ugly, just like the one he buried.

...............

"Well... because I feel that it is troublesome to take care of children..." Link lowered his head, cleverly concealing the glimmer in his eyes, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Is it troublesome? Why is it troublesome?"

"Just like changing diapers and feeding..."

"Pfft~" Navia couldn't help laughing when she saw the always elegant and calm noble showing an expression like a shy little boy, "Mr. Link, that's because you are still single now. If you wait until you have a wife, you will become If you become a father, you won’t think your children are troublesome.”

"Is that so?"

"Of course, the child is the treasure of the parents, and they will definitely love it well." Navia smiled happily, as if she was imagining the day when she would become a mother.

"Father's love and mother's love are the greatest loves in the world."

Link smiled in return, the smile on his face was gentle, but the depths of his deep purple eyes were extremely cold, and the chill that penetrated into the bone marrow was accompanied by an almost numb pain.

He has never experienced what Navia calls "love", so he has no empathy for what this girl longs for.

In the Morgan family, only those who stand out are included in the family tree. Link even, under the instructions of Archduke Morgan, personally buried alive several defective products that were related to him.

"Mr. Link is so gentle, he will definitely become an excellent father in the future." The girl turned her head and looked at Link with a smile.

"Then it seems that I have to work hard to live up to Miss Navia's expectations." Link chuckled, trying to relax his facial muscles as much as possible.

"Mr. Link... don't say such words that are easily misunderstood." Navia's cheeks turned red again.

"Boss, it's time to have dinner."

A young man in uniform appeared at an inappropriate time and bowed to Navia.

"Oh, okay, let them prepare first, I'll be here right away." Navia said hello, and then said to Link, "It's getting late, how about Mr. Link eating too? "

"Won't it cause you any trouble?"

"Of course not." Navia smiled and shook her head, "Let's eat some staple food to fill our stomachs first, and I also made some desserts. I'm afraid that the simple meals we have here won't taste good, Mr. Link God’s tongue cannot get used to it.”

"What God's Tongue is, it's getting more and more outrageous." Link waved his hand helplessly, "I've long heard that Miss Navia is very good at making desserts. Now I can really enjoy it and get what I want." willing."

After taking Link to sit at the dining table, Navia waved, and her subordinates brought over two steaks and two bottles of juice.

Mr. Link raised his eyebrows slightly. The steak should be beef, grilled on an ordinary frying pan, with a little tomato and broccoli as decoration. It may be because the portion of the steak is too small and not enough to eat, and the chef also fried it. I ordered a poached egg and some hollow noodles.

As for the juice, it was dark purple in color, and you could faintly smell an appetizing sweet and sour taste. It should be ordinary grape juice.

"Mr. Link, please try it while it's hot. Today's steak is very good!" Navia chewed the steak in her mouth and asked Link to eat it while it was hot. Her bulging cheeks looked a bit cute. .

Nodding, Link took a sip of the juice first. The juice was sweet and sour, a little astringent, and the quality was slightly poor. It was probably because the picking time was not right, but the slightly astringent sour taste was very appetizing.

Picking up the knife, Link cut off a piece of meat steak. Judging from the color of the inside of the meat, it should be that it was fully cooked. Perhaps due to uneven heating, the edges of the meat steak were already a little charred. Judging from the resistance of the knife and the juice inside the meat, this steak must have been frozen and stored at too low a temperature. The fiber itself appears to be very fragmented, and the texture may be a bit dry.

Generally speaking, it is the kind of street stall stuff that costs twenty or thirty yuan at the night market.

Link gave up his expectation of delicious food, forked a piece of steak and put it in his mouth...

! ? ?

The man's pupils shrank, showing an expression of disbelief. He quickly forked another piece of meat steak into his mouth and tasted it carefully...

"Hey, how about it? Let me just say it's delicious, right?" Seeing Link's surprised look, Navia couldn't help but feel proud.

"This... is indeed very delicious." Link nodded strangely, but what surprised him was not that this steak was particularly delicious.

The crux of the matter is what makes this steak so delicious.

This basically has nothing to do with the chef's cooking skills, but... the quality of the meat.

"Miss Navia, may I ask who is responsible for purchasing the raw materials for this steak?"

"Well, Uncle Kari is responsible for the food, Karl's father." Navia was a little confused, "Mr. Link, is there any problem?"

"No, no, this steak is very delicious. I think this may have something to do with the quality of the steak. I want to ask which butcher shop I bought it from, and I want to pick a few pieces myself."

"Haha, that's it. Speaking of which, I bought this piece of meat a long time ago. At that time, everyone's economy was very tight. They were all scraping together money to pay off the debt of Beiguo Bank, and they couldn't usually eat meat. I bought this piece of meat and prepared it first. Keep it refrigerated and eat it during Christmas. But now that we have Mr. Link’s sponsorship, we don’t have to think about this anymore.”

"So that's it." Link smiled and nodded, "Don't worry about the Northland Bank debt. Miss Navia can just take her time."

"Don't worry, Mr. Link, we are discussing business with Xumi and Mondstadt. If nothing happens, we will be able to replace some of them next month." Navia said with some embarrassment.

"Then I wish the boss of the Thorn Rose Club a prosperous business." Link raised his wine glass gracefully.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Sister Navia! Big brother has left. Now can we see what's in that big package?"

Just after sending Link away, Navia was surrounded by a group of children again, and she couldn't help but look a little helpless.

"You guys, you've been staring at this bag for a long time, haven't you?" Navia stretched out a finger angrily and tapped one of the children's forehead.

"Because...because big brother said it was prepared for us..."

"Okay, let me take a look at what's inside first." Navia opened the bag and couldn't help but smile, "Your wishful thinking will come to nothing now. Brother Link has already wrapped these gifts in paper. Now I can’t see what’s inside, let’s wait until Christmas time to open it.”

"I'll put it on the Christmas tree together with the previous gifts. You are not allowed to move!"

"Wow, Brother Link's gift is so exquisitely wrapped! It's much prettier than the one prepared by Sister Navia!"

"Hey, each of you, if you have brother Link, you don't need sister Navia, right?"

"I want it all, I want it all!"

With her red lips pursed, Navia took out the gifts prepared by Link one by one and placed them under the tree...

The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red.

At the bottom of the bag, there is a small heart-shaped box. The box has a warm yellow background and is knotted with lace-like ribbons. It looks very delicate and unique.

After coughing twice, Navia pretended to be nonchalant and tied the bag back up.

"Sister Navia, isn't there a gift in the bag? Why don't you take it out?"

"I saw it! It's in the shape of a heart, very beautiful!"

"Wow, Sister Navia is so mean. She clearly said that only the best performer can be the first to choose a gift!"

"Oh! Can't you have a higher emotional intelligence? This makes sister Navia so embarrassed!"

"Woo... stop talking, stop talking! I won't hide it anymore, I can just take out the gift!" Despite the children's childlike words, Navia still revealed the gift with shame. The heart-shaped gift box was taken out of the bag and placed under the tree.

"Sister Navia, don't worry! We will definitely not take the gift Brother Link gave you!"

"Woo! I told you not to say it again!"
