Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

"indeed…"

Su Ming blinked. The nuns in the church were indeed quite lovely. He'd like to go play hide-and-seek with them again sometime.

"Dinner is almost ready, come in," Columbia smiled slightly and turned to walk into the room.

Without hesitation, Su Ming followed Columbia into the room.

The color scheme that greets the eye is snow-white, and the air carries the clean scent of Columbia. The furniture is not crowded and is neatly arranged on the floor.

Colombia pointed to the shoe cabinet next to the door and said, "There are slippers inside, just pick any pair."

Su Ming nodded, bent down to take off his shoes, glanced at the shoe cabinet, and then his gaze instantly stiffened.

Pink bunny-themed cotton shoes, white women's slippers... basically, they're all adorable little slippers.

Putting aside whether the size is suitable or not, the main issue is that the appearance is just too girly.

"What's wrong?" Columbia looked at Su Ming in confusion, then belatedly realized something. Since no man had ever been in her house, she naturally didn't have any men's slippers prepared.

"You... just come in wearing socks."

Columbia felt a little embarrassed, but thankfully the living room was covered with a thick wool carpet, making it comfortable even without slippers.

Su Ming thought to himself that it was fortunate he didn't have smelly feet, otherwise he would have been completely out of luck.

"Sit wherever you like, dinner will be ready soon," Columbia said as she went into the kitchen, leaving Su Ming alone in the living room.

Su Ming sat on the soft sofa. On the wall directly in front of him hung a painting. The painting depicted a golden wheat field, with a snow-white figure sitting in the corner playing the harp.

He quickly recalled the notes in the old vows, and this painting was exactly the scene described in those notes.

That should be Columbia's homeland, but it's unclear why she's now in Winter's End as an executor of the Fools.

That must be a very long story.

“I haven’t heard you mention your hometown yet,” Columbia said, placing a steaming plate of steak on the table. She seemed to be in a very good mood.

"My hometown..."

Su Ming revealed a smile that was hard to tell whether it was nostalgia or something else. "My hometown is in a very far place, and I probably can never go back."

Columbia's right hand trembled slightly, but her expression remained unchanged.

"Like This."

Colombia didn't ask any more questions, but simply took out a bottle of red wine that looked very expensive from the wine cabinet and placed it on one side of the dining table.

Chapter 035 Of all the lights in the world, which one is left on for me?

My hometown is in a very far place.

“Every summer, golden wheat fields cover the hillsides.”

"Countless flowers bloom along the roadside, and everyone's face is filled with warm smiles."

Colombia's expression was somewhat bewildered, a mixture of reminiscence and longing, a memory of a past that could never be returned to, a scene she could never forget in her dreams.

It is also the soul's last refuge.

She can't give up yet, if even she forgets...

Who still remembers that era?

“Columbia, you’re drunk,” Su Ming said, noticing that the wine bottle was empty. He had only drunk one glass, while Columbia had already drunk four, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"Yeah…"

Columbia smiled softly, her right hand feeling slightly hot, and she let out a sigh tinged with the smell of alcohol.

She finally understood why she wanted to get close to Su Ming.

During this long period of time, Su Ming was the first "kindred spirit" she met.

A person who can never return to his hometown, a lonely soul.

"Sometimes I really want to get drunk, maybe that way I can forget for a while... but I can't get drunk."

Columbia lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression. "Su Ming, if one day I really have to leave here..."

"Leave the Fools?"

"No... I mean leave here."

Colombia's smile was tinged with sadness, like a broken soul that couldn't find its way home.

"I'll stay with you."

Su Ming said earnestly that although he did not know where Columbia was going, he could not refuse at this moment.

Columbia didn't speak, but simply raised her glass. Her eyes were slightly closed, so her gaze couldn't be seen, but Su Ming thought... her eyes must be very gentle.

"Ding."

A crisp clinking sound rang out, and Columbia tilted her head back slightly to drink the red wine in one gulp, a faint blush spreading across her fair neck.

Columbia understood. She didn't actually want to ask about Su Ming; she simply wanted someone who could understand her and confide in her.

"Thank you."

Columbia murmured softly, there were some things she couldn't tell outsiders, because no one would understand.

Her hometown is not in the present, but in the past.

Su Ming quickly stepped forward to support Columbia, otherwise she would have collapsed onto the dining table.

Columbia was breathing evenly, with a gentle smile on her lips, and looked like she was sleeping soundly.

Su Ming put his arm around Columbia's waist and felt her amazing softness; his fingers felt like they could sink right in.

Unexpectedly, in the end he seemed to be the owner of the house.

Columbia rarely got drunk, perhaps because she really wanted to get drunk just once to forget those heavy past events.

Su Ming helped Columbia to the bedroom door. Looking at the snow-white bedroom door, he hesitated for a second, thinking it wouldn't be good if he saw something he shouldn't see.

"call…"

Columbia's breath hit Su Ming's cheek, almost making the virtuous hermit stand up straight. He struggled to overcome his physical instincts and pushed open the bedroom door.

A more pronounced, delicate fragrance lingered around my nose; the bedroom smelled wonderful, as if I could see Columbia sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought, every morning.

And that exceptionally eye-catching and magnificent treasure chest!

Su Ming's eyes widened instantly. He smoothly picked up Columbia and, with the standard gesture of throwing a bouncing bomb, tossed her onto the bed. He then excitedly ran to open the treasure chest.

Columbia? I'm not familiar with that. From now on, the magnificent treasure chest is Su Ming's most beloved possession!

Fortunately, Columbia's bed was soft, so it didn't cause much of a jolt.

The girl's jet-black hair was spread all over the bed as she slept soundly.

With his eyes gleaming, Su Ming stretched out his wicked right hand and plunged it fiercely into the body of the magnificent treasure chest.

With a burst of intense golden light, Su Ming almost forgot to breathe. Was the golden legend finally about to emerge?

Today, right now!

Sure enough, there were magnificent treasure chests in Columbia's bedroom. Su Ming was already planning whether to sneak into the Queen's palace, where there must be at least three magnificent chests.

Then I'll be decked out in full gold gear, punching Mondstadt's drunken bards, kicking Liyue's unknown retired old men, and then slapping a tricolor dumpling-shaped otaku girl to tears with a big hex.

This is called equipment suppression!

Su Ming ended his fantasy and took out the items he had obtained from the magnificent treasure chest.

Judging from their appearance, they are lace gloves, and they seem to be of very good quality.

Note: Of all the lights in the world, which one is left on for me?

Su Ming was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Columbia, who was fast asleep on the bed.

Just how lonely she was.

What story is hidden behind the mask of the girl?

Su Ming sighed softly and pulled the blanket up a little higher for Columbia.

"good night, see you tomorrow."

Su Ming quietly closed the bedroom door. In the darkness, a faint smile appeared on Columbia's lips.

Nothing much happened that night. Su Ming sat on the sofa in the living room all night and left the next morning.

Although she didn't know what to do, Su Ming wanted Columbia to understand that she was not alone.

The most urgent task is to thoroughly loot the equipment of the young master and Sandone, and strive to reach the maximum favorability level for them before leaving for winter.

Otherwise, how can we cause trouble in Mondstadt? In order to abduct Klee and Diona, we must increase our strength!

As a decent person, if you do something wrong, the worst that can happen is to go to church to repent.

Who could resist playing hide-and-seek with a little nun?

Su Ming yawned as he walked to the training ground. Given the young master's personality, he should have been at the training ground to exercise much earlier.

But when Su Ming entered the training ground, he only saw imposing armored figures standing there quietly, like mannequins on display.

"...Have you eaten?"

Su Ming and Capitano stood facing each other for a minute before Su Ming finally spoke first.
