The copy NPCs are all my homie [Original God + Unlimited]

Unlike what they imagined, they found Mandrill and Zhongli sitting opposite each other at the small table outside the kitchen of Wangshu Inn.

Zhong Li saw her first, and nodded to her: "Traveler."

These two people... Ying felt a little relieved for some reason, the embarrassing situation in the tavern would not happen this time.

Yan Xiao, who was cooking in the kitchen, also greeted her: "Hey, the traveler is here, wait a minute, I'll add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you."

Ying Yiyan sat over, and Paimon flew to the seat opposite her: "Two mates! And Paimon!"

"Okay." Yan Xiao replied.

Mandrill glanced at her, but didn't speak.

"What are you guys talking about?" Ying asked with her face covered.

"We are sharing our experience in the copy world." Zhongli said calmly.

Ying froze visibly again.

"What you guys experienced in that school...is a bit interesting." Zhong Li evaluated objectively, and Mandrill looked away.

It seems... There is no change yet, and Ying doesn't know how many things these two people have explained, so she can only nod in agreement.

Mandrill seemed to have endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said a word: "I never thought that you and Master Zhongli..."

He paused, and tightened his lips: "That's all. I'm the one with karma in the end, so I won't delay others."

"No—" Ying just uttered a syllable, and Yan Xiao came over with the food, "Come here!"

Ying had no choice but to keep silent for now.

As soon as he saw the delicious food, Paimon even forgot about eating melons, grabbed the chopsticks with his eyes shining, and moved towards different plates in turns at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.Zhong Li poured himself a cup of tea, Mandrill picked up the chopsticks and took two bites, then put it down.

He stood up and lowered his head slightly: "Master Zhongli, traveler, I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he disappeared in place, leaving only a little green phantom.

"Drill!" Ying subconsciously stretched out her hand and called out his name, but there was no response.

what……

Ying slowly put down her hand that was stuck in mid-air, feeling a little depressed.

Zhong Li coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and gently put the cup on the table.

"Aren't you going to catch up?"

"What?" Ying suddenly turned to look at him.

Zhong Li sighed slightly, and said again: "Aren't you going to catch up?"

"I..." Ying stood up, "I... really can?"

Zhongli: "Follow your heart."

Something in Ying's heart suddenly moved: "Then I..."

"Go," Zhong Li picked up the chopsticks, "Little Paimon and I are waiting for you here."

Ying nodded and walked up the stairs of Wangshu Inn.

**

The highest point of Wangshu Inn is the place where the two met for the first time.Ying looked up and saw that Mandrill was sitting on a corner of the eaves, looking into the distance.

"Drill—" Ying called out his name.

Mandrill looked at her, as if hesitating for something, after a while, he finally jumped down and stood beside her.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to see you." Ying said without confidence.

"Look at what I do," Mandrill's voice seemed a little cold, "You already have Mr. Zhongli."

... Zhongli wouldn't have told Mandrill everything about their relationship... he touched his forehead.

"But I care about you!" she said sincerely, "I'm worried about you."

"Nothing to worry about. I always have."

"Don't reject me again!" Ying grabbed his hand eagerly, "After leaving that dungeon... I had a dream, I know... I know you care about me, and I care about you too!"

Mandrill's pupils dilated visibly, and an obvious dazed look appeared on his face.After a few seconds, his face gradually turned red: "You... care about me?"

"Yes," Ying nodded firmly, "I care about you very much, please don't say that your karma will hurt me in the future, I am different from ordinary people, I am not afraid, you can approach me, how to approach It doesn't matter."

Mandrill repeated: "You care about me..."

It was only then that Ying realized what she had said impulsively just now, she let go of her hand, but she didn't regret it.

She spread her hands, looked carefully, and then showed it to Mandrill: "Look, I can touch you."

"The time is too short..." Mandrill muttered.

Ying jumped up and hugged him: "Look, I can hug you too! I'm not afraid of karma."

Mandrill froze in place, as if he had acquired a strange sense of calm.

"So... don't avoid me in the future." Ying whispered, "You are very important to me."

Mandrill was silent for a moment, then raised his arms and hugged her back.

The breeze on the roof blows slowly, bringing a little lingering atmosphere.

Mandrill thought over and over again, and finally asked, "Then Master Zhongli is to you..."

Ying withdrew from his embrace and looked at his face seriously: "It was Zhongli who told me to come to you."

Mandrill showed a surprised expression, and then fell into thinking: "Master Zhongli did this, what is the meaning..."

**

After bidding farewell to Mandrill and returning to the table, Ying seemed to have relieved a heavy burden and seemed much more relaxed.

"How?" Zhongli had already finished his meal, and made another pot of tea. Paimon's belly was round, and he was floating in the air with his eyes squinted, as if falling asleep.

"Thank you, Zhongli." Ying sat down, put her hands on both sides of the stool, and said with a smile.

"Let's eat something."

After Ying finished her meal, Zhongli sent out an invitation: "Let's take a break?"

Ying nodded in agreement.For some reason, being with Zhongli doesn't feel like a guilty conscience, but rather calm and at ease.

The two walked slowly along the road.

"Drill, child, life is not easy." Zhongli said calmly, "On this point, I know very well."

Ying hummed in agreement.

"He has a lot on his shoulders. So it is a rare thing for him to be able to open his heart to you."

Ying nodded, then suddenly raised her head to look at Zhongli: "What about you?"

"Me?" Zhongli smiled softly, "What's wrong with me?"

"You have a lot to bear." Ying said bluntly.

"Well," Zhongli nodded happily, "but I don't call it a burden."

"Because you don't think it's a burden?"

"Travelers have always been smart in ice and snow." Zhong Li moved a little closer, and the arms of the two often touched each other during the journey.

"It's good to think so..." Ying swallowed back the second half of the sentence. In such an atmosphere, she didn't want to talk about feelings.But Zhongli didn't give her this chance.

"Traveler, when I said that my heart is pleasing to you, it was not a joke."

"Ah..." Ying opened her mouth, this Zhongli... which pot is not open and which pot to lift...

"I originally thought that the traveler would walk in a hurry and would not stay here, so I kept those secret thoughts aside. But now that I have made it clear, I will tell the traveler that people will be born, old, sick and die, and gods and demons will also wear out, so In these limited years of getting along, I want to move forward with you."

"Then... what about Mandrill?" Ying asked, "Why did you ask me to catch up with Mandrill earlier?"

"Because you want to go, and because...that child is no different from me."

But you're making it hard for me!Ying almost screamed.

Zhong Li seemed to see what she was thinking: "I'm not forcing you to make a choice. Why do you regard it as a matter of choice?"

Ying slowly savored his words, feeling a different meaning: "You mean, let me want them all?"

"Flowers bloom and wither, the tide ebbs and flows, all are the laws of nature, but as far as emotions are concerned, the only law is to do as they please."

She looked up at him: "wouldn't you mind?"

Zhong Li answered irrelevantly: "Ah, someone is here."

who is it?Ying looked suspiciously, but was embraced by the rushing enthusiasm, and then she felt her feet lifted off the ground and turned around in the air.

"Partner! Long time no see!" Dadalia hugged her waist very excitedly, and glanced to the side, as if he only discovered Zhongli's existence at this time, "Ah, Mr. Zhongli, you are here too, you and What is the traveler doing?"

"Just chatting." Zhongli replied with a smile.

"Why are you in Liyue?" Ying quickly broke free from his embrace and asked.

"Hmm... I'm looking for a colleague of mine." Dadalia rubbed his chin and said ambiguously, "I don't know where he is, so I'll come to Liyue to have a look first, hoping to meet a partner... No Come to think of it, you and I are destined!"

"Are you looking for skirmishers?" Ying suddenly understood, "He ran away with Thor's heart?"

When Zhong Li heard this sentence, his face didn't even fluctuate, as if he had expected it.

"Partner! How do you even know this kind of secret?" Dadalia was taken aback, and looked at Zhongli, "Or Mr. Zhongli..."

Ying quickly waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with Zhongli! It was the straggler who told me."

Dadalia immediately became vigilant: "What? He's here? Have you seen him?"

"No! Not here." Ying grabbed his arm to comfort him.

"I think it's in another world." Zhong Li said slowly.

"Another world?" Dadalia looked at Zhongli, then at Ying, "Wait... There is another world... Wait... So, isn't that a dream?"

"Do you think it's a dream?" Ying curled her lips.

"So, I really did that kind of thing with my partner?" Dadalia covered his face, but Ying found a sly smile in his eyes between his fingers.

"Hey, hey, now you're not a sentry, and I'm not a guide. I don't have a spiritual body! I don't have a spiritual body... I have communicated, so the previous things don't count!" Ying thrust her waist.

"Partner, how could you do this!" Dadalia felt aggrieved, "Even without the physical attraction of the sentinel and the guide, you still attract me!"

Ying looked at him suspiciously: "You really don't want to have a date with me?"

"It's even better if you can!"

"Traveler," Zhong Li interrupted the conversation timely, "Don't you have something to do? Go quickly."

Although it is not clear how Zhongli knew that he had to continue looking for someone, Ying was grateful for his rescue and left quickly.

After Ying left, Dadalia looked at Zhongli: "Hey, Mr. Zhongli, you didn't go to another world with your partner before, did you?"

Zhongli didn't answer his question directly, but repeated a word from Ying's previous words: "Spiritual communication? Only... spiritual?"

"Huh?" Dadalia looked puzzled.

"My 'communication' with her is not limited to spirit." After saying this, Zhong Li walked away, leaving Dadalia thinking in place.

After a while, Dadalia came to his senses. He raised his fist angrily, and waved at Zhongli, who was nowhere to be seen: "You wait!" If he hadn't still had a serious job, he would have to catch up and fight to win the battle!
