Chapter Twenty-Eight: Flower Viewing and Contracts
Looking at the flowers?
Anping doesn't have this kind of vassal elegance, and letting him go to enjoy the flowers may be more boring than reading the Fatui diaries here.
But since Ganyu took the initiative to invite, Anping had no reason to refuse.
"There's no problem, anyway, I'm just going to sleep when I go back now, and it's okay to go to bed late, where can we see?"
Anping remembers that there are many flowers near Yujingtai.
"Then let's go to Dihuazhou together now."
"Hmm... Well?! ”
As soon as An Pingtou nodded, he realized that something was wrong.
Ogi Flower Island!?
Turn left and you're going to be a light bank! Walk straight through the stone gate and you'll be Mondstadt!
Do I need to go to Dihua Island to see a flower? Isn't this more elaborate than Zhongli!?
And the most important thing is that Anping doesn't think about his physical burden now, and if he moves forward at full speed, he will probably be able to reach Dihuazhou before this time tomorrow.
That is, in addition to the time spent going to see the flowers, it will take nearly forty-eight hours to go back and forth...
It has to be peaceful.
"Ganyu, did you remember the wrong place name?"
Tianheng Mountain should also have sweet flowers, Anping thinks that it is very good to enjoy sweet flowers on Tianheng Mountain, at least there is no problem with going back and forth overnight, and after enjoying the sweet flowers, it can also solve the problem of supper.
"Does that feel a little far? It's okay, I'll just carry you, it won't take too long. ”
Ganyu understood Anping's concerns and offered to take him over.
Knowing Ganyu's identity as a half-immortal, An Ping did not doubt whether she had this ability.
But the question is...
An Ping's gaze swept around Ganyu's delicate figure.
Lying behind such a sweet rain, Anping was very worried about himself.
"I'm sure I can carry you, please rest assured, let's go quickly, and come back soon."
Ganyu misunderstood Anping's worries, packed up the documents on the table, and then grabbed Anping's sleeve and led him all the way to the back of the Moon Sea Pavilion.
"If you do this, you won't be seen by others."
It was dark behind the Moon Sea Pavilion, and An Ping could only see a rough outline of Ganyu through a slight bit of moonlight. He didn't understand the point of this, and he didn't have to carry him out anyway.
Anping felt even more embarrassed that he should be an eight-foot man lying on Ganyu's back.
But in this darkness, Ganyu's outline suddenly blurred and couldn't be seen clearly, and then simply disappeared completely, and Anping only felt that Ganyu's direction became darker.
"Ganyu?"
An Ping called out.
"I'm here, but I've just changed back into my unicorn body."
In the darkness in front of him, Ganyu's somewhat unnatural voice came.
It had been a long time since she had recovered this body.
"Kirin?!"
An Ping was a little surprised, he couldn't have imagined that Ganyu's body was actually a unicorn, and as soon as his hand was raised, he felt a soft ball of hair, and the fluffy feel made him feel a bit like touching a cloud.
"Climb on my back first, and then lie down and don't hold on to my horns."
Ganyu was still a little worried about Anping and reminded him not to touch his horns.
"Well, if you crawl in the wrong place, you tell me."
Anping groped in the dark, probably climbed onto Ganyu's back and lay down, Ganyu didn't say anything anyway. But Ganyu's back is so good, it's like sleeping in a soft dream, and you can smell a faint fragrance in your nose that can't tell the specific taste, it seems that a hundred flowers are blooming in front of you.
However, although it was very comfortable on Ganyu's back, Anping didn't know why he was a little disappointed.
"Lie down and don't move, I'm ready to go."
As soon as Ganyu's words fell, Anping didn't have time to answer, and a terrifying pressure made him have to stick to Ganyu's back.
In the blink of an eye, the pressure dissipated, and the moon in the sky seemed to be close in front of An Ping's eyes, within reach.
In the dark night sky, Ganyu carried Anping, walking and flying above the clouds.
"Ganyu, you are beautiful both in your body and in human form."
Anping was finally able to sit up from Ganyu's back, and then through the moonlight, he saw the appearance of Ganyu's body.
The fluffy and long blue-white hair is curled up like auspicious clouds, the body is slender and elegant, stepping on the clouds, like a dream, worthy of the legendary fairy beast.
"It's been a long time since I've recovered my body to carry people, and I remember the Demon God War..."
Ganyu couldn't help but think back to a time when Liyue Harbor had not yet been established, and the land was full of wars and disasters.
An Ping's smile suddenly froze.
Daedric Wars?
Was that thousands of years ago?
Ganyu turned out to be a figure of the ancestors?!
An Ping, who was sitting on Ganyu's back, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Should I call you Ganyu Ancestor..."
An Ping asked cautiously.
"Don't be bad to me! It's better to call me Ganyu. ”
Ganyu doesn't like people to give her some strange names.
Although Ganyu is thousands of years old, her mentality still seems to be a girl's mentality. It's still a little girl who worries about whether she's going to be too fat.
Anping felt that it was indeed more rude to call a young ancestor or grandmother.
Maybe the thousand-year-old Kirin is indeed in her teenage years.
The speed of Ganyu is very fast, maybe not an hour, and it has already fallen on Dihua Island.
An Ping jumped off her back, and suddenly thought of a very serious question, does Ganyu change back to her body mean that she has no clothes?
If it changes back later...
Anping was ready to take off his coat and help her put it on.
After a cloud and mist dissipated on Ganyu's body, she returned to her human form, and her clothes were still there, obviously conjuring up.
Anping was not disappointed at all.
Under the night of Dihuazhou, Ganyu took An Ping through a shallow water and came to a tree.
Illuminated by the moonlight through the leaves, a cluster of petals shimmered with fluorescent blue glass lilies bloomed quietly.
The night breeze swept silently, and the shallow water surface rippled.
"The smell of glass lilies is so good."
Ganyu sat down cautiously next to the glass lily that seemed to have just bloomed.
Anping also sat aside with her.
Although it is beautiful to set the blooming glass lilies against the moonlight, laypeople like Anping prefer to appreciate the sweet rain under the moonlight.
Ganyu stretched out his hand and gently played with the petals of the glass lily, and a few touches of loneliness appeared on his face.
"Does it feel weird? Obviously, Yujingtai also has glass lilies. ”
An Ping shook his head.
He only knew that there were flowers in Yujingtai, and he didn't know what kind of flowers they were.
"Yujingtai is the place where the emperor died, and it is inevitable to feel sad when looking at flowers there, and even when I am working, I would rather hide in the opaque office, so as not to see the scenery outside the window and touch the scene."
Ganyu lay on the grass among the flowers, and her back looked particularly lonely.
"The Emperor has been with Liyue for more than 3,700 years, and it is difficult for anyone in Liyue to accept his departure."
An Ping knew that Ganyu, who had followed the emperor to fight, was even more difficult to accept the fact that the emperor had died. But in addition to the word "mourning", how can this kind of thing be comforted.
"More than 3,700 years ago, when the Emperor founded Liyue, I have served as the secretary of the Seven Stars and assisted the Seven Stars to this day. Now that the Emperor is gone, the contract between the Immortal God and Liyue has effectively come to an end. From now on, where do I go from here? ”
Ganyu lay down completely on the grass and stared at An Ping's eyes quietly.
Fragments of moonlight fell on Ganyu's body, and An Ping felt that she was like a dream, and it would dissipate in the next second.
Looking at Ganyu, which was as fragile as foam, An Ping didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ganyu suddenly smiled.
"Well, don't show such a sad expression, the glass lily can listen to the hearts of humans, and if you show displeasure in front of them, the flowers will wither."
"It's nice to be lying on the grass and hearing the heartbeat of the earth."
Ganyu turned her head sideways to admire the blooming glass lily, and a drop of dew on the petals fell on the corner of her eye, slipping over her face.
An Ping plucked up the courage to help her wipe the dew off her face, and then blurted out the answer she had just thought of.
"Wouldn't it be nice to continue to sign a contract with humans?"
Ganyu did not answer.
Ten minutes later, Anping realized that she was asleep.
The cool night breeze blew, and An Ping glanced at the dark surroundings, as well as the lights of the distant Wangshu Inn, and fell into endless despair.
So where does he sleep tonight? The grass on this ground is covered with dew!
But then Anping found a very interesting thing.
Because he was hungry, Anping ran to pick a few apples and sweet flowers to satisfy his hunger, but when he saw Ganyu, his nose seemed to move twice because he smelled the sweet flowers.
So Anping tentatively put the sweet flower to Ganyu's mouth, but he didn't expect Ganyu to really open his small mouth and eat the sweet flower like a hamster.
Anping, who discovered the New World, picked all the sweet flowers nearby overnight and fed them to Ganyu, and by the way, many hilichurls who were dreaming suffered miserably.
When Ganyu woke up the next day, she was very puzzled by the inexplicable feeling of fullness.
But it seems that before falling asleep yesterday, I heard Anping say that he wanted to sign a contract with her?
Make a pact with humans?!
It can't be a contract like Mom and Dad?!
Ganyu covered her surprised mouth with her hand, and two slivers of crimson floated across her face.
Anping is so bold...
Oh yes, what about Anping?
After Ganyu got up, he finally found An Ping, who was shivering and curled up in a ball of grass because his clothes were wet and cold from dew.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! ”
Ganyu shook Anping awake and kept apologizing.
Fortunately, Anping's physique is not bad, so he will not end up with a cold.
Ganyu then returned to Liyue Harbor with Anping on his back.
Only then did Anping realize that Ganyu's blue-white fur was really a good camouflage color, flying far away in the sky, and looking at it, he would only think it was a cloud, which was not eye-catching at all.
