"It's raining so coldly."

The tavern owner picked up the cold wine beside her, took a sip, and looked up at the sky. The sky was overcast, with rain curtains falling all around.

Just as she was staring blankly at the sky, a steady voice rang out.

"One winter rain brings a chill; it should snow in Liyue Harbor this year."

The tavern owner turned her head and saw a tall, handsome young man walking towards her through the rain, holding an umbrella.

"Mr. Zhongli, welcome."

The tavern owner put down her glass, stood up to greet her, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded, put down the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and walked into the tavern.

"Should we stick to the usual spot?"

"The tavern owner asked."

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded.

"Please follow me."

The tavern owner nodded and walked into the tavern.

Zhongli withdrew his gaze from the drunken young man, sighed softly, and followed the tavern proprietress to his usual seat.

However, there was another person sitting on the other side of the table.

It's Master Chang.

Zhong Li sat down opposite him and ordered two bottles of osmanthus wine.

This time, he also got very drunk.

The book next to me is Fang Qiu's new book, "Hotarubi no Mori e".

"Would it be better to not form a bond, only to add to the sorrow..."

Zhongli turned to look out the window.

Outside the window, the wind carried rain that pattered against the ground, splashing up bursts of water.

Soon, the proprietress served the wine.

Zhong Li poured himself a cup and was about to drink when Chang Jiuye, sitting opposite him, raised his head with a drunken expression.

However, he didn't look at Zhongli, but stared blankly out the window, tears streaming down his face.

He remembered that after he returned home from the last time he met Jiu'er, a heavy rain fell from the sky. The rain was just as heavy as this one, and it was said to have caused a flood.

After that heavy rain, Jiu'er's family moved away.

"To let fate prevent us from forming a bond, only to cause more sorrow? I don't believe it! I must work hard to write a book... to make my name... resound throughout the entire Tiwat... until Jiu'er sees it..."

He spoke in a slurred and intermittent manner.

After saying that, he slammed back onto the table with a thud, still mumbling something incoherently.

He said things like, "You must read more of Fang Qiu's books and learn from him."

Zhong Li sighed softly. He looked at the book beside Master Chang Jiu. On the cover of the book, Yin and Zhu Chuan Ying were holding hands with a wooden stick and walking down the mountain side by side.

Two people destined to never be together...

Even if Hotaru Takegawa and Gin could resist touching each other, Gin, being a half-demon and half-human, would have a lifespan far exceeding Hotaru Takegawa's.

Until Hotaru Takegawa dies, Gin will be all alone again.

Therefore, Gin would rather disappear now than not touch Hotaru Takegawa.

Whether Yin touched the child intentionally or not is no longer important.

Even without that child, Gin would still be unable to resist touching Hotaru Takegawa.

After enduring a long period of loneliness, you finally obtain what you desire, so how can you bear the loss...?

He downed the wine in his hand in one gulp, then sighed and said, "Sure enough, no matter how many times I drink it, I can't taste the same flavor as before."

He looked out the window; the heavy rain continued, and the leaves of the osmanthus tree outside were falling softly in the wind.

……

Yujing Terrace, Yuehai Pavilion.

"The ending was truly tragic..."

Gan Yu stood by the window, watching the glass lilies swaying in the wind and rain, her eyes somewhat dim.

"It only adds to the sorrow..."

Gan Yu murmured softly, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Immortals have extremely long lifespans, and so do semi-immortal beasts.

Compared to immortals, the lifespan of ordinary people is like the fleeting lightning that flashes across the sky at this moment.

Fleeting...

Previously, she had always thought that the loneliness of Liyue Harbor was even greater than that of Jueyun Karst.

Watching the clouds from the edge of the clouds is nothing more than the loneliness of watching the clouds alone.

Stepping into the sea of ​​people in Liyue, one sees only the loneliness of non-human beings in this world...

Therefore, when fulfilling her contract with the Emperor, she always buried herself under data and reports, hiding herself like a grass slime.

But after seeing Miss Fang Qiu's book and getting to know Miss Fang Qiu, she seemed to have some different expectations for life in Liyue Harbor.

On each book release day, after finishing my work, going to bookstores like Wanwen Jishe to buy books seems to have become the norm.

Strolling through the crowds of Liyue, one might begin to wonder if they might spot that gentle, lovely white-haired woman on the street.

Perhaps she's about to find a way to fully integrate into Liyue Harbor.

only……

Fang Qiu is just like Takekawa Hotaru.

They are just ordinary people.

And like Yin... they both have extremely long lifespans...

Time is cruel for ordinary people, and it is also cruel for immortal beings.

It's best not to form a bond, lest it only bring more sorrow...

Thinking of this, Gan Yu's expression darkened even more.

Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Gan Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a soft breath, and said.

The other party did not respond, but silently pushed open the door.

However, Gan Yu was taken aback when she saw the person behind the door.

"Miss Fang Qiu? What brings you here?"

Gan Yu's eyes lit up slightly, but then she remembered that it was pouring rain outside and asked with concern, "It's raining so hard outside, are you alright?"

"Senior sister, I am not Fang Qiu, I am Shen He."

Shen He shook his head and said.

"Uh? Senior sister? Shen He?"

Gan Yu was slightly taken aback, and only then did she realize the difference between the white-haired woman in front of her and Miss Fang Qiu.

I heard before that Shen He came to Liyue Harbor on the orders of their master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun.

However, in order to prepare for the battle against the demon god Osel's wife, Ba Che, she was unable to meet Shen He.

After the decisive battle, she continued to handle affairs, including the resumption of Inazuma's business dealings and the tunnel that Keisen had dug, which allowed large horse-drawn carriages to pass through.

A pile of documents related to trade.

Therefore, I haven't been able to find the time to meet Shen He yet.

Even buying books today was just something I squeezed out of a spare moment.

She also plans to meet with this junior sister after she finishes her work in the next couple of days, and then help her find a job.

Unexpectedly, Shen He actually took the initiative to come to her.

Is it so that I can arrange a job for her?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. You look so much like one of my friends, I mistook you for someone else."

Gan Yu said with a face full of apology.

Speaking of which, the first time I met Miss Fang Qiu, I had only seen Shen He from afar and mistook Fang Qiu for Shen He.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Shen He, she mistook him for Fang Qiu.

What a wonderful coincidence!

"Don't worry about it. Fang Qiu and I are indeed very similar. Even my master said so."

Shen He said.

"Shen He, do you also know Miss Fang Qiu?"

Gan Yu asked in confusion.

"I am currently staying at her house."

Shen He said.

"Stay at her house temporarily?"

Gan Yu was taken aback.
