Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 389 Family Conflict (Part )

As the comfortable atmosphere gradually spread, everyone entered into a quite relaxing dining atmosphere.

Every dish produced by Xinyuexuan is exquisite and delicious, with a strong Liyue flavor.

The tea in the cup was refilled again and again, until finally...even Paimon, who usually had a good appetite, started to burp.

“Ah…I’m so satisfied!”

Paimon showed a somewhat satisfied look on his face, and then he stretched and said:

"My stomach is full and my brain is working now!"

"Listen to me, I've already guessed it!"

Looking at Paimon who was standing with his hands on his hips and still keeping the secret, Chang Ming felt for a moment as if he was back at the Oprykle Opera House.

"So...what did Paimon guess?"

Finina blinked in confusion, as if she was curious about what was going to be said next.

Chang Ming drank his tea calmly, as if he didn't care about these things or what Jia Ming was going to say today.

To be more precise, it’s not that Chang Ming doesn’t care, but that he knows what Paimon is going to say next.

In his eyes, there was actually no difference between those words and nonsense.

"Jia Ming invited us to such a nice place to eat such expensive dim sum and snacks, and we, the five of us, ate several rounds of them!"

"This alone shows that... he is actually the same as Xingqiu, a wealthy young master who hides his true talents!"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said very confidently.

Looking at the lovely Paimeng in front of him, Jiaming smiled and shook his head, then said:

"Although what Paimon said sounds reasonable, but...you are mistaken about my family's situation."

"Eh?!"

Paimeng looked at Jiaming in shock, then lowered his head in disappointment.

Yes, the famous detective Paimon encountered the most significant setback in his life in his third deduction since his debut.

"My father is just an ordinary businessman, doing some tea business. He can't compare with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

"Dad...ah...he has long hoped that I could inherit the family business and make a fortune through business."

"But there is no way, I am not that kind of person at all, and I don't want to go down that path..."

Hearing this, Paimeng's black eyes suddenly widened, and then he looked at Chang Ming beside him in disbelief.

"Chang Ming really got it right!"

"Ok?"

Jiaming was a little confused for a moment. He turned his head slightly to look at Chang Ming beside him and asked curiously:

"What did Mr. Chang Ming say?"

After hearing what Paimeng said, Chang Ming suddenly regretted helping Paimeng out of trouble.

Before Paimon speaks, don't define her emotional intelligence based on her previous performance, just like Schrödinger's cat

——You will never know whether the cat is alive or dead until you open the box filled with poisonous gas.

Similarly, before Paimeng speaks, you never know whether Paimeng’s emotional intelligence is high or low.

"Hey... this is what happened..."

In the next two or three minutes, Chang Ming told all the inferences he had made before, and then continued to add:

"I don't have the habit of snooping into other people's lives, but... facing a request like that, it's hard for me to refuse. After all... we are not the parties involved."

"What matters is what you think and what you do."

Hearing this, Jiaming smiled heartily, then waved his hand and said:

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be like this."

"I don't mind these things. After all, people who are a little familiar with me know these things~"

"But Mr. Chang Ming is amazing! He can tell what my situation is from what I said in the carriage and on the boat! Is there any way?"

After saying this, Jiaming himself was stunned, and then he quickly waved his hands and said a little embarrassedly:

"Oh my...really, I accidentally strayed off topic again. Let me think about it first."

Jiaming lowered his head as he spoke, and seemed to be trying to choose his words. After a while, he spoke briefly:

"I have loved animal dance since I was a child. Just like what Mr. Chang Ming said, it is the core of my dream."

“I want all the people in Teyvat to come and watch my animal dance!” This is my dream.

As Jiaming spoke, he walked to the window of Xinyuexuan. The warm morning light shone into the room through the paper window and sprinkled on Jiaming's body.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with a light that only belongs to a young man.

——That is the light called "hope".

"But... in my dad's opinion, this is not a career at all, but just "a child playing in the sand"..."

"He probably thought that I would eventually realize the reality over time, but I have always been obsessed with practicing the animal dance."

"Until one day, he wanted to take me to meet other tea merchants to build relationships in the future, but I refused."

"We had a big argument and almost came to blows."

"Finally, I ran away from home in a fit of rage and never went back."

Having said that, Jiaming lowered his head slightly and sighed softly.

"This is all that Mr. Chang Ming guessed. Although it has been completely guessed by Mr. Chang Ming, but..."

"But please don't criticize me first. I don't think I'm not wrong."

"Oh no, it should be... I also know that this solution is not good."

As Jiaming spoke, he looked at everyone in front of him, sighed lightly, and continued to explain:

"But my father is very stubborn. No matter how sincere my words are, in his eyes, they are just a kiss between two lips. It can't change his mind."

"Ah, I think it's pointless to talk about it. It's better to make a name for yourself in Liyue Harbor first and let the results speak for themselves..."

At this point, Jiaming showed a look of regret on his face, and then he said:

"But... you all know the current situation. The Beast Dance is not popular in Liyue Harbor."

"Before, I went door to door and into people's shops to ask if they needed a performance, but most of the time I was turned down, haha..."

"Before I can realize my dream, I have to at least be able to eat, so I found a job as a bodyguard to earn money. Now I have more than enough to support myself."

"...But change takes time, so we can only do it slowly."

When he said this, there was still a gleam in Jiaming's eyes.

The ever-enthusiastic and positive boy did not give up his dream, nor did he throw it all away.

Even while working...he never forgets to practice, and the battle scenes along the way are the best explanation.

Perhaps Jiaming himself has become accustomed to all this and even turned those things into his own motivation.

After listening to Jiaming's words, Changming let out a long sigh and then said:

"Since it is a dream, then move forward firmly."
