26 Chapter 26
Yun Mubai was in a very good mood, especially when he saw Zhongli carrying the pink box.
But is someone too unscrupulous, Yun Mubai secretly fiddled with the delicate golden tassel like a stamen on the top of the box with his fingertips, and thought secretly.
Obviously, when he and Paimon were talking, they had already walked into the Wanmin Hall, and they were separated from the few people outside by a long distance, so he deliberately lowered his voice again, and that passage should have been heard by no one except Paimon and Master Mao on the side.
"What are you thinking?" The tassel on the box in his hand was dangling, Zhongli naturally wouldn't ignore it, he noticed the young man's changing expression, and simply asked directly.
"I'm wondering how you know...... Yun Mubai pointed to the box containing the snacks in Zhongli's hand, and then glanced at Kong and Shenhe, and when he saw that they weren't paying attention, he grabbed Zhongli's sleeve and motioned for Zhongli to come over.
Zhongli lowered his head obediently, his left ear was close to Yun Mubai, and the golden diamond-shaped earrings worn on the side of his ear gently brushed the young man's lips with a cold temperature.
The strange touch on his lips was too obvious, Yun Mubai was stunned for a while, his breath was stagnant, and his eyes were only fixed on Zhong Li's handsome side face, because he was very close, he clearly saw the beautiful red marks under Zhong Li's eyebrows.
The bright red color was not overwhelming, as if it were not the simple eye makeup common to Liyue people, but grew naturally out of the skin, complementing Zhongli's golden eyes.
"Huh?" Stared at by the young man's burning gaze, Zhongli moved a little closer, his voice low, as if he was just expressing his doubts.
Yun Mubai raised his hand in a trance, and subconsciously touched his lips, but his fingertips first touched the unfamiliar soft touch.
Be...... Tassel!
Yun Mubai suddenly woke up, hurriedly opened a little distance from Zhongli, and hurriedly looked away.
Hey, Zhongli doesn't know his appearance, it's so lethal.
"What's wrong?" Zhongli looked at Yun Mubai, whose expression had become clear, and a trace of regret slipped through his heart, but he pretended not to know the doubts and spoke.
"Mr. Zhongli will pretend now?"
Seeing the emotion that flashed in the golden eyes, Yun Mubai, who was much calmer, raised his hand and gently tugged on Zhongli's tassel earrings dangling in front of his eyes, "Why don't you know how to hide your tail in Wanmin Hall, Paimon must have heard ......it?"
Yun Mubai didn't look at Zhong Li, and naturally he didn't notice the instant change in Zhong Li's beautiful and perfect golden eyes, which were almost inhuman, as if the unmined stone pober had revealed its dazzling core.
After complaining for a long time, without waiting for Zhongli's response, Yun Mubai raised his head suspiciously, "Are you angry?" Not? ”
I saw Zhongli slowly straighten up, slowly arranging the hem of the dark robe on his body, and then helplessly raised his hand to point at the other party's eyebrows after meeting the young man's puzzled eyes.
"It's worrying, but lip reading isn't such a hard skill to learn." Zhongli explained softly and looked at the young man's eyes that widened slightly because of his words, and his voice became softer and softer, "Mu Bai, are you ......?"
"Concern is messed up?"
"Zhongli!" Hearing the unconcealable pleasure in someone's tone, Yun Mubai touched the tip of his ear. The original annoyance and anger completely dissipated when he saw Zhongli's increasingly soft eyes.
"Hey, hurry up!" Paimon's voice rang out from the far end of the street.
Yun Mubai followed the sound and saw that the three of them had already found the kite making Ah Shanpo.
"Looks like they're here, let's go." Zhongli said, slowly turned around, took a few steps forward and turned his head, looking at Yun Mubai, who was still in place, puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nope." Yun Mubai shook his head and quickened his pace to follow.
At a certain moment just now, he seemed to see the hem of Zhongli's robe outlining dragon scales and the hem of the robe was windless...... Delusion, right?
Yun Mubai secretly used his afterglow to look at Zhongli's delicate robe, and the golden dragon scale decoration in the sun was brilliant, as if it was shining on the surface of the flowing river, floating and golden.
Yun Mubai admired it for a while, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Zhongli, looked at the few people who had been in front of the kite stall for a long time, took a long step, and sped up his pace.
"Hurry up, Mr. Zhongli."
Zhongli lowered his eyes, glanced at the hem of his clothes, and then quickened his pace.
Yun Mubai is unexpectedly keen.
——
Ah Shanpo had obviously prepared Zhongli's custom-made kite early, and watched as the kites representing the seven kingdoms and gods of Teyvat were placed on the stall one by one.
"There are fewer people who can do this now." Shan Po babbled on and on about her kite making skills, and her old eyes brightened up for a moment, as if she had returned to the time when she first started making kites in earnest as a teenager...... At that time, it was also used for sacrifices, and I accidentally painted the color that represented the god of wind, and my father scolded me very angrily. However, a young guest from abroad stopped my father, saying that maybe the wind god would prefer this kind of freedom. ”
"Haha, later, this habit continued."
The huge spliced kite was installed under the old man's skillful hands, and gradually appeared in a three-dimensional outline.
Yun Mubai couldn't help but smile sarcastically when he heard Fontaine's phrase "justice as balanced as the surface of the water".
Foreigners seem to see only Fontaine sitting in the Inquisition, the god of water and Fontaine with his authority to guarantee the authority of justice and justice, but no one notices the ordinary people of Fontaine who are always in fear and fear that they will go to the Inquisition.
Thinking of Fontaine's humid weather and always gloomy and depressing atmosphere, Yun Mubai was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had not left Fontaine for a few months, but he rarely remembered that oppressive environment and the atmosphere that required vigilance at all times.
Liyue......
Yun Mubai's gaze retracted from the endless sea in the distance, slid past the scene of thousands of sails and thousands of boats slowly sailing, and landed on the lively port not far away.
Merchants from all over the world are constantly loading and unloading goods from their ships, young children are curious, the Millelith Army maintains the harbor, and itinerant vendors sell all kinds of goods in the Liyue dialect.
An environment that is too relaxed is also too slack, such as ......
Yun Mubai sighed softly in his heart, looking at the orange-haired young man who suddenly appeared, Zhongli revealed a lot of news before leaving, I don't know if this executive officer heard it?
"Yikes! It's Childe, you're following us again! Paimon was surprised and pointed directly at the Winterstaple Nation Executive who suddenly appeared.
"Haha, long time no see. I just happened to be passing by, and I heard you mention me. Tartaglia smiled sincerely, completely ignoring Paimon's vigilance.
"Mention you?" Paimon blinked, remembering that he had indeed mentioned Tartaglia earlier.
"Thanks to Yun Mubai who helped us get the funds from Gongzi before, otherwise how would we pay the balance of the money paid to Grandma like Zhongli who spends money lavishly but doesn't take Mora?" Paimon recalled what he had said earlier, covering his mouth and blinking his eyes.
"Tartaglia." Yun Mubai came back to his senses, and his tone was obviously smiling, "It's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time, even if we don't mention the information about us on the executive officer's daily table, didn't we meet at the Wangshu Inn a day ago." ”
“…… Could it be that the prince is 'not seen for a day, such as every other three autumns'? Yun Mubai seemed to be remembering something, and turned his head to look at the sky, "Am I right to use this sentence here?" ”
Sora shook his head, he had only been in Liyue for a short time, and he had spent most of his time on the run, and he hadn't studied Liyue culture in much depth.
"Mr. Zhongli sent the kite, and he will ask again when he comes back." Paimon earnestly suggested.
"Hey, it's Mr. Yun." Tartaglia seemed to have just seen Yun Mubai, but the expression on his face was very fake surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
"I've been campaigning with travelers lately." Sensing the obvious ill intentions in Childe's words, Yun Mubai replied cautiously.
"Ah, speaking of which, the Fatui got the news that the Seven Stars, represented by the Heavenly Power Star Ningguang, are holding a banquet in the Liuli Pavilion to entertain the immortals who came from the Peerless Clouds, why didn't they invite Mr. Yun." Tartaglia's face was full of sincere concern, "No, the Seven Stars and the Immortals don't take a fancy to you very much." Alas...... However, you are an outsider to Fontaine, how can they treat you sincerely? ”
Well, if you don't look closely at the words that clearly sow discord, they are indeed friends.
Yun Mubai's reaction to Tartaglia's words was light, knowing that the identity of the Emperor's companion was just a tool for Seven Stars to appease the emotions of the people of Liyue, and besides, he didn't really intend to become Morax's companion.
But the immortals......
glanced at Shenhe, who was already cold because of the malice in Childe's words, and his eyes were full of murderous energy, and gave him a look, asking the traveler to calm people down first.
"Very beautiful murderous spirit, Miss Immortal." Tartaglia noticed Shenhe, but slowly let go of his breathing, the blood of the martial madman seemed to be ignited, but he tried to suppress the tyranny in his heart, "It's a pity, now is not the right time to fight." ”
Tartaglia took his eyes off Shenhe regretfully, turned his head to look at Yun Mubai on the other side, and then encouraged, "...... If Liyue doesn't have you as the future Emperor partner in mind, as your friend, the Fatui will be more than willing to help you get out of Liyue's custody, for the sake of your friends, whether it's the Seven Stars or the Immortals......
Tartaglia froze for a moment, turned his head vigilantly, and subconsciously put his hands on his weapon.
"What are you talking about?"
Behind Tartaglia, Zhongli walked slowly towards the sea breeze, his face was as gentle and calm as ever, only the hem of his long robe with light golden dark lines rolled up and down with the sea breeze, like a dragon's tail flicking in anger.
