Chapter 21 The Goddess is Interested
"Do you know that there is a Wa in the world? The Emperor's daughter was born in Lei Ze, and when the Yin reached its yin, all things were born."

"Nuwa, the goddess who became the emperor, has a human face and a snake body, and can transform seventy times a day. This belly becomes this god."

……

Many years later, when facing a grand date night, Wazhu would recall the afternoon when she was taught the family history in the Zhou family's closed school.

The Zhou family has always been strict with rules, and so is family education. As a descendant of the Nuwa clan, Lord Wa was trained as a potential successor since childhood. From the most basic knowledge reserves to the manners of walking, lying, sitting and standing, and obedience to the family elders, everything must be perfect.

Of course, being strong is also a necessary quality for being the head of a family. It should be noted that a key part of the strength test is to use the Dragon Breaking Platform and accept the test of the living spirit.

If she had died because of this, it would not have been her turn to inherit the title of Lord Nuwa.

On that afternoon, the clan teacher in the school talked about the local legend of Xiangyang, "the Goddess of Han River". He said that "Jilie Pian" by Zhuang Chuo of the Song Dynasty recorded that Zheng Jiaofu, an ancient man from the previous dynasty, met the goddess and fell in love while playing in the Han River, leaving behind the mythical love legends of "the goddess playing with pearls" and "engaging in love with stones" in the local area.

The teacher said that Zhuang Chuo was unaware of the truth and had spread many misunderstandings. The goddess of Han River was actually the head of the Nuwa clan of my Zhou family at that time. The Nuwa clan had always been familiar with water. When people saw the head of the Nuwa clan traveling, they spread rumors and mistakenly identified him as the goddess of Han River.

Zheng Jiaofu was also an outstanding mixed-race son of the Zheng family. He was extremely talented, passed the test of Duanlongtai and married into the Zhou family, thus creating a good story and leaving his name in history.

Lord Wa inadvertently retorted, "Thousands of years ago, the head of the Nuwa clan could go out and play, but I can't?"

The old gentleman was furious at this. It was because the head of the family was accidentally watched by mortals when he went out thousands of years ago that the goddess of Han River appeared. Since then, the Zhou family has been on high alert against such situations.

Then he changed the subject and began to repeat the same old tune, saying that the Zhou family had an ancient history, the head of the family was of noble status, and that following the old rules of the ancestors was for your own good and would not be wrong, etc. Repeating the same old clichés over and over again was very annoying. At that time, the Wa Lord did not listen to the rest, she only paid attention to the love story.

Because the name of the Goddess of Han River is known to everyone in Xiangyang, the local unique folk activity "Chuantian Festival" is a festival to worship the Goddess of Han River.

At this time of year, Lord Wa would know that in addition to the Zhou family, groups of ordinary people would go out for boating, quarrying on the Han River, worshiping the goddess, praying for children, looking for marriage partners... It was very lively with people coming and going in an endless stream.

Unfortunately, the excitement is outside, and Lord Wa herself cannot get any part of it. As she has obtained the right to inherit the family head, she is "worth a lot of money" and will have to sit in the Tang City Palace for the rest of her life.

She had no choice but to look at the lights of thousands of homes, imagine herself among them, and laugh and have fun with the people in the world.

Only the love legend of Han River mentioned that day made the Wa Lord feel more regretful, or a beautiful dream: If only I could experience a beautiful story...

"what happened?"

Wa finally came out of her memories and heard Shirou Emiya asking a question softly from across the table.

Hehe, it's nothing. Wazhu playfully stuck out her small pointed tongue and revealed a charming smile. Tonight's makeup made her grow up into a young girl, but the expression she occasionally showed still looked like a cute girl.

The restaurant they are currently in is called LIANGSHE, a Chinese restaurant that imitates the style of Shanghai's luxury restaurant Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet and is known for its immersive dining that focuses on the combination of sound, light, shape and color.

To say that they pay attention to this is not just a propaganda rhetoric, but a real fact. Emiya looked around. The restaurant occupied a large area, but there were only two of them dining in the entire 1,000 square meters. The huge space around them was filled with luxurious golden red.

The brilliant scene is like a mirage, with the endless sounds of flowing water and cranes calling, and the red pillars of the ancient temple with colorful glaze supporting the sky and the earth. Such a three-dimensional and huge atmosphere was created by the restaurant designer after imitating "Night Banquet of Han Xizai", one of the ten famous paintings in China.

Su Enxi from the nanny group was busy running around, and she didn't forget to book a table here. She even communicated with the restaurant to change the light and color performance in the background style to the scene in "The Legend of White Snake" where the beauty met on the Broken Bridge of West Lake, trying to maximize the atmosphere so that the two of them could "be moved by the scene". While Emiya and Wa were chatting, the restaurant was also quietly serving dishes. It is said that the chef here has worked in the "world's first restaurant" NOMA. He is a disciple of the top star chef Simon Wright and is nicknamed "Kitchen Boy".

They are probably elegant titles for literati such as "Poet Immortal" and "Poet Ghost", which are praised by the industry in a fancy sedan chair carried by everyone.

Emiya talked to Wazhu based on the information he had looked up before. Wazhu smiled - she seemed to laugh more and more frequently when she was with Emiya - she said that these were things she learned from foreigners, and the real national cuisine did not require star chefs.

The Zhou family, to which Lord Wa belongs, is ancient, and even their cuisine is traditional northern-style Chu cuisine. To be honest, it's more authentic than those of the government's state banquet chefs.

This time I went out to try this restaurant and I didn't feel it was amazing, but the combination of Chinese and Western food, as well as the decadent creativity, was quite novel.

Having said that, a light blush appeared on Wa's face and she smiled, showing that she actually liked it very much.

Emiya didn't care that much. Although they were imitations of foreign dishes, it was still nice to try new dishes.

In the past, Emiya lived alone and cooked, and he thought he had some culinary skills, so he liked to cook for himself. He was proficient in both Chinese and Japanese cuisine, but he had never learned dishes of this scale in depth.

Unexpectedly, Lord Wa's eyes lit up instantly and she said, "I didn't expect you knew cooking. Next time you cook for me, I want to taste your dishes!"
Okay, okay, miss, just tell me and I’ll do it for you when I’m free.

This request was no pressure at all for Emiya, so he agreed readily this time. It would be a good thing to show off his skills in front of acquaintances, especially if he could easily win the stomach of the young lady.

"Hey, Shirou."

As time went by, the two of them toasted each other. Emiya remained relatively calm, while Wa was shaking her red wine glass. Her face gradually turned red, she lowered her brows and eyes, and her words became unclear. It seemed that she had drunk quite a lot.

It's no wonder that Lord Wa is really happy today. After all, it is the first time in her life that she has realized her dream of going out of the house, and she can also experience such an experience with Emiya... It is still a regret or a beautiful dream of her childhood.

No, this is not a dream.

Hmm! Wazhu took advantage of the alcohol to cheer herself up. She moved her head and squinted to look. Amidst the gorgeous scene of feasting and revelry, Shirou Emiya's face was always full of seriousness.

Even though the mission he requested was a bit difficult for him, he didn't complain at all. He could have refused to share the secret of his master alchemy work "Magic Circuit", but he chose to take the initiative to stand on his side and guide the Zhou family's children without hesitation.

"You are really a nice guy who has gone too far!"

Wazu recalled the day when she forcibly pulled Emiya Shirou and boldly put her arms around his neck and pretended to be nice to the elders. But today, it seemed that she was making a fake reality, and her expression was even more shy.

Shirou treats me like a patriot, so how can I, Wa, be hesitant and shrink back?
"Shirou Shirou," Wazhu lowered his eyes, "Come here and lower your head."

She brought her lips closer.
