Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

"Since you are so anxious, let's go back immediately." Under Ying's expectant gaze, Ling Mengxue gave her a smile and immediately used the teleportation point to return to Wangshu Inn.

"I'm going to deliver almond tofu to Xiao. What are you following me for?" Ling Mengxue looked helplessly at the smiling Ying, Paimeng who wanted to say something but couldn't, and Zhongli who didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

"Go to your rooftop. We're hungry and want to eat something downstairs." Ying gave Zhongli a look, perhaps afraid that he didn't understand, and pulled at the corner of his clothes.

"Well, yes, we are hungry too. Xiaoxue, please go quickly and come back soon." Zhongli immediately understood and replied.

However, although they acted as if they were ordering food seriously, Ling Mengxue guessed in her heart that Ying and Paimeng would definitely follow quietly behind them. As for Mr. Zhongli, it would be best if he was willing to drink tea here calmly.

Ling Mengxue couldn't help but laugh secretly as she imagined the usually calm and steady emperor secretly following the love life of a subordinate who was as close to him as his own son.

"Wow, look at Xiaoxue. He is so happy just to see Xiao right away. He is indeed in love." Xiao Paimeng said in a low voice.

"Yeah, look at that smirk on the corner of his mouth, he must not have noticed it. Oh, I'm so anxious, these two people are too reserved, this kind of two-way rush must have someone speak first. If it doesn't work, I have to think of a way." Ying thought of the implicit conversation between the two last time, and couldn't help feeling anxious. When will these two taciturn people finally break the window paper and make the CP she is shipping become true?

"Guess who won't be able to resist confessing first?" Paimon suddenly asked curiously.

"It's just a general theory... I think..." Zhongli lowered his voice and prepared to answer Paimon's question seriously.

"Shh...!" Ying had not expected that the steady Mr. Zhongli would actually join them in gossiping, but seeing that Ling Mengxue had already reached the roof, they huddled in the blind spot at the corner of the stairs and carefully watched the situation above.

A breeze blew by, and a white-haired boy was leaning against the railing of the inn, holding a plate of almond tofu. No one knew what he was thinking about.

The contact with Xiao has become more frequent, and it all started with the almond tofu in my hand. Although it was originally for the purpose of learning the immortal spearmanship, when did it become a habit to send almond tofu to this cold-faced immortal every day? Recently, I even felt a little uncomfortable if I didn't see him for a day.

It's over. I feel like I've fallen in love with this person who wanted to kill me the first time we met. When did this start? Ling Mengxue herself couldn't quite sort out her thoughts.

Was it the first time he slipped from a tree and was rescued, or was it the time when I quietly watched him falling down with his heroic figure wearing the Nuo mask? Was it because I liked his firm determination to protect Liyue, or was it because I was curious about the reason why he had always been indifferent to humans? It seemed that he treated himself a little differently from how he treated other people.

Although he never praised her almond tofu for its delicious taste, he always ate it all without hesitation whenever she brought it to him. When she asked Chef Yan Xiao out of curiosity, he just said, "Even if the boy on the rooftop liked almond tofu very much, he had never eaten two plates at once."

She once called out his name in the middle of the night with the intention of teasing him, but he always appeared by her side quickly, even though she finally realized it was a prank on her part.

Although she couldn't see Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli, Ling Mengxue had already guessed that they were hiding in the dark and secretly observing the place.

"It's better not to call his name. Xiao will definitely not like it. If it's all my wishful thinking, it will inevitably be awkward when we meet in the future. I might as well give the prepared almond tofu to the boss and let her pass it on to Xiao." Ling Mengxue said to herself.

"If one day I happen to come here again, without Ying, Paimeng or others following me, it would be great. I really want to know what he thinks." Ling Mengxue couldn't help but sigh.

With the sound of heavy falling, the inn was shaken. Xiao, who always came quietly, used such an obvious way today for some reason, as if to tell everyone here that he was coming.

"If I had known you cared so much, I... wouldn't have left. And you want to go back on your promise to me, but I don't agree." In the breeze, Xiao's voice sounded light, but also very clear.

"Open, open, I bet Xiao will confess first!" Paimeng suddenly said in a low voice.

"You are breaking the rules! I was just about to say that the one who confessed first must be this Immortal Xiao!" Ying was a little dissatisfied, but did not dare to shout loudly.

"Since you all bet on that immortal, I'll support Xiaoxue." Zhongli originally thought that it was probably his lovely son who spoke first, but since it was gambling, if everyone bet on the same person, the gambling would not work. Anyway, it's good whether you win or lose. If you lose, the worst that can happen is that you can just send the bill back to Wangsheng Hall.

"Everything has been confirmed, buy it and don't buy it." Paimeng reminded in a low voice.

"Mr. Zhongli... do you have Mora?" Ying asked worriedly. It seemed that Mr. Zhongli had never paid for anything during the trip.

"It doesn't matter. The bill can be paid to Wangsheng Hall or Northland Bank." Zhongli said nonchalantly.

"Stop chatting, look, Xiaoxue is stunned, my god, he must be scared by what Xiao Shangxian said." Ying looked at Ling Mengxue who was still in a daze and became more and more anxious. Don't be stunned, although Xiao Shangxian's words were a bit euphemistic, his meaning was already very clear.

Ling Mengxue really didn't expect Xiao to suddenly appear in this way, and to speak so bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth. Although he didn't directly say "I like you", given his personality and his ability, he still said such ambiguous words when he knew that there were other people present. This should be a confession.

When Ling Mengxue thought about Zhongli and the others hiding somewhere and eavesdropping, her face turned red.

"Oh, I'm so anxious. No, I have to give them some opportunities." Ying finally couldn't help it. She found a black paper bag from somewhere, put it on her head, and rushed straight to where Ling Mengxue was leaning.

"Oh, I can't control myself..." Ying tried to lower his voice and rushed towards Ling Mengxue. At the same time, he concentrated the wind element power under his feet and rushed over with all his strength.

This sudden collision immediately broke the deadlock. Xiao knew that Ying and Dijun were hiding somewhere and watching him. Even if he just said that sentence just now, he mustered up the courage. He didn't dare to look into Ling Mengxue's eyes. When he found out, Ling Mengxue and the almond tofu in her hand were quickly dropped to the ground by the sudden collision.

It was too late to find out who had suddenly attacked Xiaoxue. When Xiao came to his senses, he realized that Ling Mengxue was in a very dangerous situation. Although he had been taught how to use the wind element to travel, he had never mastered the skill of riding the wind. Moreover, the collision just now was too sudden, and he was afraid that he would not have time to react.

"Damn, Ying, you're playing too big! Oh no, Xiaoxue doesn't have the wings of wind yet. If he goes on like this, he'll fall to death." Paimeng also started to panic.

"Mr. Zhongli, are you okay?" Seeing Zhongli who didn't say a word, Paimeng became even more panicked. He hurriedly shook him. It was not normal for Mr. Zhongli to not be worried when Xiaoxue fell like this.

Ling Mengxue was just thinking about what Xiao had just said, when she was suddenly pushed down by a huge force. She only saw a gust of wind with a black hood, and then she began to fall rapidly.

It's over. I haven't responded to Xiao's feelings yet. It seems that this time it's really over. If I die like this, it will be a pity.

It was still that somewhat strange yet familiar arm, but this time the hug was obviously much tighter.

"It's too late. There are too many connections between us. Even if you want to give up, it's too late." His soft whisper in my ear came with the wind.

"Am I already dead? Then let me be bold for once." Ling Mengxue, who felt that she had a hallucination before death, hugged Xiao regardless and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Besides Ling Mengxue, the almond tofu she made also landed safely on the ground.

The people standing on the roof breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the quarrel started again.

"Give me money." Zhongli stretched out his hand. Of course, he wanted to believe that Xiao would not let Ling Mengxue get hurt, but he could also see that at that distance just now, even Xiao was desperately trying to catch up. If he was a second later, Xiaoxue would be seriously injured even if she didn't die. It was very dangerous, and he couldn't help but take action.

"But Xiaoxue didn't confess. But Ying, there shouldn't be a next time for such a dangerous thing!" Paimon still felt sorry for Mora, but his heart was still beating wildly when he thought of what happened just now. It was just a little bit and Ying would have become the murderer of his friend.

"...What have I done?" Ying collapsed on the ground, tears still flowing down her face.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. If you don't give them a push, I don't know when these two kids will understand each other's intentions. However, before doing such a dangerous thing, you must report it!" Zhongli did not want to blame Ying too much. After all, he was a little anxious just now, and was thinking about how to make these two kids who couldn't say a word for a long time quickly understand each other's intentions. Although Ying's method was very dangerous, he didn't have any malicious intent.

"Okay, let's say Mr. Zhongli wins this time." Paimon offered Mora helplessly.

"Just send it directly to the Wangsheng Hall. Remember to write clearly that it is earned by me." Zhongli is in a very happy mood now.
