Yuanshen everyone has become my figure

"...Traveler, you can take it easy and not be so nervous.

Zhongli finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a helpless tone, "We're just out for a walk, there's no danger around, and there won't be any monsters rushing out suddenly, so you don't have to be vigilant all the time like this."

"Ah good."

Chu Luye nodded in response, but his movements were still visible to the naked eye, as if a kitten popping out from the side of the road could scare him to his feet.

The antlers on the top of the head had already been put away by Chu Luye, who had found a trick before going out, and the two of them were now walking on the streets of Liyue Port normally like two ordinary residents of Liyue.

——Except for Chu Luye's occasional sharing of hands and feet.

Obviously in the past, he could joke with each other without losing the wind, and even complained casually and never stopped, but now, just because he realized the subtle changes in the relationship between them, he couldn't even walk the road.

Zhong Li couldn't help being a little amused: "It's good to stay in a normal state, traveler. I won't suddenly become scary just because we are walking together, and then I will bite you like the monsters in the stories of the storyteller. Eaten."

Normal mind, normal mind, it's easy to say, but how could he be normal now.

Chuluye thought so.

As soon as he recalls his previous thoughts, he will remember that he is now dating Mr. Zhongli, and then he will find that he doesn't know where to move his hands and feet, and he doesn't know what expression to make on his face.

But does this invitation really mean a date?

Chuluye couldn't help thinking again.

Mr. Zhongli never mentioned this word from the beginning to the end, although it may be because the old Liyue people are not used to using this kind of too modern word to refer to dating, but what if he is self-indulgent?

What if Mr. Zhongli really just wanted to take him out to relax and get an answer?

Answer, answer, and if so, what was his answer?

Chu Luye fell into deep thought, and he found at a loss that he still couldn't give a clear answer.

Zhongli's voice brought him back to his thoughts.

"Look, traveler, Liyue's buildings don't change much every day, but the scenery here is different every day. Do you understand why?"

Because he was immersed in his own thoughts, Chu Luye, who couldn't hear the first half of Zhongli's sentence, raised his head in confusion: "...I, I don't know."

"Because of people."

Zhong Li lowered his head, and his red-gold eyes seemed to become much warmer. It no longer makes people feel that this person is extraordinary, and he must not be an object to be underestimated.

This does not mean that Zhongli's ability has weakened, or that his momentum is not as good as before.

It means that he has become closer to life and people.

He has become more approachable.

Chuluye didn't fully understand.

Zhongli smiled: "I'm just saying that I'm afraid it's a bit boring. Let me take you to a place. Although you may have seen the scenery of Liyue a lot, I think you have never seen the scenery of this place."

In fact, it’s okay to just take him to see the scenery of Liyue that he has already seen.

Chu Luye thought in his heart, after all, what he said he had seen before was actually only seen on the computer screen.

And just seeing through the screen, Liyue's scenery is already so breathtaking, if he sees it with his own eyes, these scenery should be even more shocking and unforgettable.

But he couldn't hold back his curiosity after all.

Chu Luye quickly nodded in response, a little impatient to know where the scenery that Zhongli said he had never seen was.

Is it an unopened secret realm?Or a cave hidden in some remote corner?

Seeing him nodding, Zhong Li raised his eyes to look at the sky.

The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, and it was noon.

"It may be too early to go now, it's better to go later, so that you can just see the scenery there."

Zhong Li said, and turned around to ask Chu Luye for his opinion: "Why don't you go to have lunch first, I happen to know that there is a good restaurant nearby, and the journey there is a bit far, and you will have the strength to start when you are full, right?"

Chu Luye's curiosity has been completely aroused.

But Zhongli had already said that, and it was impossible for him to disagree, so the two went to the restaurant Zhongli mentioned to have a meal together.

Facts have proved that what Zhongli said is a restaurant with good taste is really good taste.

So much so that Chu Luye, who was not thinking about eating at first, was still a little reluctant to part after eating. He turned around every step and tried to ask the shop owner about their recipes—of course, he was stopped by his own reason in the end.

What's more, the shop owner himself put down his bold words, saying that their shop will surpass Manmin Tang in the future and become the third largest restaurant along with Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan.

It is impossible to casually disclose their secret recipes to Chu Luye, an outsider.

Zhongli, on the other hand, found that Chu Luye seemed to like the taste of this store, so he suggested that they could come to this store again next time.

"Besides, there are many lesser-known restaurants, or the chef is not here, or there are some special dishes that ordinary people can't eat. If you want, I can take you there for a while , maybe you can come across dishes that are more to your liking.”

Zhong Li suggested so.

Of course Chuluye nodded wildly.

There is no reason to be bad, this is naturally the best.

Zhongli's taste is absolutely trustworthy, and his understanding of Liyue Port is unrivaled. Following Zhongli, eating all over Liyue Port is definitely not empty talk.

At this time, Chu Luye didn't realize at all that he had completely forgotten about the date and performance that he was struggling with before.

Even on the way after dinner, when he met a crying little girl with a kite hanging from a tree, he volunteered to climb the tree to help the child take down the kite.

After all, among the adults present, one is the father of a muscular little girl, one is Mr. Zhongli, and the other is himself.

As for climbing a tree, generally speaking, the lighter the weight, the more dexterous it is, the less likely it is to fall off.

Therefore, the little girl's father was excluded first, and it was impossible for Chu Luye to ask Mr. Zhongli to help. In Tivat, whose fate was not in his control, Chu Luye had no choice but to get the kite hanging high on the treetop. He rolled up his sleeves.

Of course, before climbing the tree, he had also obtained Zhongli's consent first.

Zhongli showed him a helpless expression and couldn't bear to stop him at that time, and finally had no choice but to promise: "Go ahead, if you accidentally slip, I will catch you below, so that you won't get injured."

Chu Luye climbed up the tree very reassuringly, and finally succeeded in picking off the kite, preventing Zhongli's guarantee from having a chance to come in handy.

When the kite on the treetop was within his reach and held high in the air, the little girl who had held her breath for a long time jumped up for joy.

Maybe it's because when you look down from a high place, your mood will indeed be different, and Chu Luye rarely has the opportunity to see Mr. Zhongli from this angle. When he looked down with a kite, he raised his hands and cheered at the first sight. , a very conspicuous little girl, but Mr. Zhongli who was looking up at him under the tree with gentle eyes.

At that moment, the sunlight shining down from the branches and leaves was dazzling and gentle, obviously not deliberately manipulated by fate, but everything was so just right.

The wind is just right, and so is the cloud.

So much so that when Luye returned the kite to the little girl, and watched the headache parents who thanked them a thousand times take the children away, Chu Luye still stood where he was, and did not recover for a long time.

Zhong Li, who was standing side by side with him, lowered his head and saw Chu Luye, whose eyes were still blank, seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Want to try flying a kite?"

he asked.

Chu Luye came back to his senses, raised his head to meet Shang Zhongli's smiling golden eyes, and couldn't tell whether he was looking at the kite just now, or reminiscing about the scene that was bound to the kite in his mind just now .

So he nodded: "Yes."

It was kite flying after all, he had never tried this before.

Then Chu Luye, who tried to fly a kite for the first time, got carried away with it.

From the day when the sun was slightly to the west, until the sun was about to set, I kept running around pulling the kite line, trying to catch up with a sudden gust of wind so that the kite could fly higher.

Zhong Li was always beside him, watching him fly the kite with a smile on his face.

In the end, Chu Luye was exhausted and didn't put away the kite until the wind died down just before sunset. Then he felt a little embarrassed after realizing it.

He walked up to Zhong Li.

"Did you have fun?"

Zhong Li lowered his head and asked.

Chu Luye nodded honestly: "Yes."

He felt that this sentence was a bit like what a parent would say after sending their children to a small amusement park in the children's area of ​​the shopping mall, and watching their children play until the amusement park closed when they came back.

The point is that Mr. Zhongli didn't need to take care of him either, it's just that he forgot about the time.

Thinking of this, Chuluye felt even more ashamed.

He lowered his head, and at this moment he finally remembered that Zhongli had said that he would take him to a place.

He looked at the sunset, which had turned orange-red like salted egg yolk.

"Is it late enough now, Mr. Zhongli?"

"Hmm..." Zhongli mused slightly, "It may be too late, based on the usual travel time, maybe it's too late."

Chu Luye suddenly raised his head in shock.

"How could this be?"

Then comes regret and self-blame: "It's all my fault that I lost myself in playing too much, if I remembered earlier..."

"It's not your fault, it's because I didn't tell you the specific time."

Zhong Li comforted with a smile, and while Chu Luye was still shaking his head in denial full of self-blame, he continued: "There is another way, maybe we can arrive in time before then."

Things took a turn for the worse.

Chu Luye's eyes lit up, and he said expectantly, "What way."

"Use a little unusual way of traveling."

Zhongli smiled, and naturally sold it off.

"First, find a more secluded location."

Zhong Li led Chu Luye, one after the other, walked to the place inaccessible.

On the way, watching the sunset in the distance sinking bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chu Luye's heart couldn't help sinking along with it, and his mood gradually became agitated.

However, Zhong Li's footsteps in front of him were still not in a hurry, and seemed to be only a little faster than usual.

Chu Luye was puzzled and blamed himself at the same time. In the midst of entanglement, he suddenly felt lucky and realized something.

He stopped, and found that he seemed to have been teased by Mr. Zhongli by accident.

You know the time, but you don't tell yourself; you know how to get there in time, but you have to say "it's too late" before you say it.

After realizing this, Chu Luye suddenly felt like complaining.

He circled a small hill ahead that blocked his sight, and caught up with Zhongli's figure who disappeared behind him.

"Mr. Zhongli, are you deliberately..." Did you mean it?

Chu Luye swallowed the last half of the sentence back into his throat.

He slowly opened his eyes wide, and saw behind the small hillside, a dragon lying coiled up there with slightly floating golden mane.The dragon originally leaned his head on the dragon's claws, closed his eyes slightly, and raised his head when he heard the sound, the majestic dragon's eyes revealed the familiar gentle look of Chu Luye.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhongli..."

Chu Luye stammered a little.

He was a little confused for a moment, afraid to think about whether the scene in front of him meant what he guessed.

There was a little smile in Chi Jin's dragon eyes: "Want to try the feeling of traveling in the clouds, traveler?"
