[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Chloe put on the most beautiful clothes she had kept in her closet and looked down at her watch.

It's one o'clock in the afternoon. If we rush to the cafe now, we will probably arrive half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

However, given her careless nature, I'm afraid that even if she sets out half an hour earlier, something might go wrong. It would be safer to set off now.

After all, she was going to meet a very important pen pal.

*
The origin of this pen pal issue may be traced back to the new policy issued by the Court of Prostitution last month.

Chloe's busybody boss installed a small box next to the door of the Inquisitor's office, pretending that it was intended to be used to provide feedback on public opinion.

In short, if you have any opinions about your department or colleagues, just write a letter and submit it. The next day, a special person in charge will collect these letters and randomly distribute them to each employee of Fulu Court, asking them to make suggestions.

Look, he was not even willing to solve the problem himself, vividly demonstrating what real exploitation is.

In order to try out whether this thing is useful, the busybody leader assigned everyone the task of writing a suggestion letter and submitting it every day.

As a newcomer to the Court of Compensation, Chloe was forced to take on the responsibility of being in charge in a place where all her colleagues were veterans.

Anyway, on the second day after the new policy was implemented, Chloe took out a pile of letters from the box before leaving get off work and handed them to her predecessors one by one.

It's just that because there are too many things, she has to hold them very firmly, so the speed of sending messages is naturally slower.

Chloe looked at the impatient expression of her senior in front of her very unluckyly. She could only quicken her pace with grievance, and finally finished distributing the things before the bell rang.

In her haste to get home, she completely forgot about the letter she had casually placed on the suggestion box before distributing it.

That was a letter of advice Chloe had written herself.

After all, Chloe was pushed by her seniors to do such a tedious and potentially offensive job. She was no fool, so she made the most of this little privilege.

For example, she could send her own letter to herself so that she wouldn't have to waste time writing a letter of advice.

However, to be on the safe side, she did not plan to hand in a blank piece of paper. Instead, she casually wrote a few boring words like "The weather is so nice" on the letter paper.

It was just like that at the beginning, but in the end for some reason the topic turned to her nosy boss. The more Chloe wrote, the more excited she became, and she wrote a whole article full of complaints about him.

Finally, Chloe put down her pen and handed it in.

Originally, I just thought that this thing would only pass through her hands anyway, so it wouldn't matter even if she wrote something outrageous.

But she didn't know that she left the letter in Momang Palace the next day.

When Chloe thought about this after taking a shower at night, she wanted to give her pig brain a slap, but it was too unrealistic to go to Mo Mang Palace to get the letter back at this time. She could only roll around on the bed with her pet sea otter in frustration.

The little sea otter was confused by her inexplicable behavior. He patted her forehead with his paw, and while she was covering her head and screaming, he ran away and returned to his own little pool.

Anyway, Chloe was no longer sleepy and forced herself to stay awake until dawn. She entered the Fulu Court at the opening time of the Mo Mang Palace to look for the letter.

The specially marked envelope was still there, which made Chloe feel a little relieved.

But when she got closer, she found that the envelope had been opened.

Chloe's heart skipped a beat and she quickly opened the letter.

According to the requirements of the busybody leader, everyone has to put their own suggestion letter and a blank piece of writing paper in the envelope so that the person who receives the letter can write down his or her own suggestions.

Hers is certainly no exception.

At this moment, there was indeed a piece of cursive writing on the piece of letter paper that was supposed to be blank.

Although the handwriting was incredibly beautiful, Chloe was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly, as if she had seen something bad and unacceptable.

But there is an old saying that goes, "If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster. If it is a disaster, there is no way to avoid it. No matter what, we still have to face reality.

Chloe took several deep breaths before finally getting ready, and cautiously opened one eye to glance at the words.

To her surprise, it didn't contain any criticism.

The stranger was incredibly gentle, first responding to her comments about the weather, then patiently offering comments after every complaint she made about her boss.

Chloe pondered the man's words carefully. They were all very pertinent suggestions. Although he did not share the same hatred with her as her other friends, every word he said hit the nail on the head.

These were exactly what she needed.

You know, Chloe is quite determined to keep her iron rice bowl job as a cardiotocologist, but because she always makes all kinds of mistakes, her boss has been looking at her with an increasingly unfriendly eye in recent times.

Just as she was thinking about it, a voice that was so familiar that it gave her a heart attack suddenly came from behind her -

"Chloe? You're here so early today?"

Chloe turned around and saw her busybody leader Leon standing behind her.

Her breathing stopped for a moment, and at this moment there was only one thought in her mind, that is, she must not let Leon see the letter of advice in her hand!
Seeing that she had been silent, Leon squinted at her suspiciously: “Why do you look so guilty?”

"Really?" Chloe replied calmly on the surface, but her palms were sweating.

Various excuses flashed through her mind, but before she could decide which one was more reliable, Leon said, "What's the matter? Did you make some mistake last night, so you come to make up for it so early today?" It must be said that after all, he is an old senior who has been in the industry for decades and has a first-class eye for people.

Chloe hesitated as her secrets were touched upon.

But she soon remembered the countermeasures she had just seen. According to the advice of that strange colleague, it seemed that she should go along with it at this time?
Since she couldn't think of a better way now, she simply mustered up her courage and decided to do it!
Chloe bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leon! I accidentally missed sending out a letter of advice last night!"

Leon was startled by her powerful voice.

But you have to know that Chloe is usually notoriously difficult to deal with and doesn't know how to get along well with her colleagues. It's rare to see her acting so well-behaved, and he lost his temper for a moment.

Leon was a little helpless: “It’s just a missed letter. There’s no need to be so nervous about such a small matter.”

But normally, even if I accidentally spilled coffee, you would scold me!

Chloe wanted to cry but she could only nod along with him.

Leon almost guessed what she was thinking at a glance. This young subordinate always liked to write what he was thinking on his face.

Alas, I still need to hone my skills.

But there is no need to rush for some things. Seeing that she was so well behaved today, Leon decided to let her go: “Okay, okay, go back to your seat and have a rest. It’s not time to go to work yet.”

Although employees are severely exploited during work hours, Fulu Court is famous for not requiring overtime, which is why Chloe does not want to lose this job.

But speaking of this, why did Leon come so early?

Chloe, who never could keep secrets, scratched her head and wanted to know, so she just asked directly.

Leon shook his head helplessly: "Although it's not time to go to work yet, some reports are really difficult to approve. In order to go home to be with my wife and children last night, I can only come to work as early as possible today."

Seeing Chloe's surprised expression, he added: "I am nothing. The real amazing one is actually Lord Villette. He is always the first to come and the last to leave. It seems that he always has endless work to do."

Their highest judge of Fontaine, Lord Villette, was incredibly dedicated to his duties.

Although she firmly adhered to the attitude of not working overtime, Chloe had always admired such people, and finally understood why she had not seen him after working in Mo Mang Palace for more than half a month.

As one of the few people in Fontaine who was not interested in opera, she had only been to the Opiclay Opera House with her parents when she was a child. She had seen Lord Navillaette sitting in a high seat from afar, but so much time had passed that she could not remember what he looked like.

Leon seemed to share the same opinion as her. He couldn't help but praise Lady Navilette for her hard work before finally letting her go.

Chloe finally returned to her workstation. She couldn't help but take out the hidden letter and read it again. She breathed a sigh of relief belatedly.

But speaking of it, the method written by this unknown colleague is really useful. It's a rare opportunity that she didn't get harassed by her boss this time...

Chloe couldn't help but become curious about the person who wrote these words, so that night she put her suggestion letter in the suggestion box again, but this time it was not a complaint about Leon, but a consultation on some workplace social problems she had encountered before.

As expected, she received a reply the next day.

The man helped her analyze every detail and taught her how to respond to every word the other person said. Chloe put it into practice that day and indeed received very good feedback!

She admired this stranger friend even more, and those beautiful cursive words began to glow with a sacred light in her eyes!
However, after she had established good relationships with everyone as that person had taught her, she gradually couldn't find what to write to bother that kind-hearted person.

But Chloe was reluctant to lose contact with this "friend" and could only nervously write down some interesting things that happened to her recently. She then couldn't sleep all night and was relieved only when she received a reply the next day.

The man was as gentle as ever. Not only did he not care about the nonsense she wrote, he also gave his own reply.

For example, Chloe wrote that last time she tried to make an appointment with a colleague to go out and play as he said, but it started to rain halfway through the trip, and she didn't bring an umbrella, so she had to run all the way back home.

[Although I like rainy weather, it is better for humans not to get caught in too much rain. If you encounter this situation next time, please remember to take a hot shower and change into dry clothes immediately after returning home to avoid catching a cold. ]

It was clearly a normal tone, but somehow, Chloe's heart suddenly skipped a beat and her face felt a little hot.

Maybe this is the feeling that every word you say is taken seriously.

Chloe felt a little overwhelmed. Even though the guy opposite her always spoke like an old-fashioned person from the last century, his concern for her was genuine.

The girl's love became more and more uncontrollable in the subsequent correspondence.

When Chloe realized that she might have a crush on this guy she'd never met, she decided to do something big.

That night she revealed in a letter her plan to ask him out on Saturday, and unexpectedly the man agreed readily.

That day, Chloe covered her pounding heart and couldn't sleep.
