I write novels in Liyue

From childhood, children hold their mothers' hands to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

When he grew up, he held hands with his wife to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

In middle age, he watched his wife lead their children through the Lantern Festival.

In his old age, his parents had passed away, and the young man had become a white-bearded old man, watching his daughter-in-law hold the child's hand.

Just like when he was young, the child pointed at the snow in the sky and called out for his mother.

"Mom, look! It's snowing again."

"It's snowing again in Liyue Harbor."

Zhongli muttered to himself, reaching out to catch a snowflake. The snowflake landed in his palm and quickly vanished.

Another silence followed, which finally turned into a long sigh.

Liyue Harbor has existed for thousands of years, and the people living in Liyue Harbor

The people there are no longer the same people they used to be.

The universe is full of phenomena, and life and death are a cycle.

And one by one, his comrades and friends left him, leaving behind only the annals of history.

In the end, I will become like Fu Hua in the book.

Watching over Liyue.

Alone...

VIP room.

The lights flickered.

Ying was all alone; she sat at the table, her shadow stretching long.

After a long silence.

She put down her book. The bustling Liyue Harbor outside the window seemed, for some reason, utterly desolate.

Is it because the weather is getting cooler?

still is……

It's hard to explain, hard to define...

At this moment, at the seaside.

"It's snowing."

The boy in green looked at the sky, his usual smile gone, and murmured to himself.

The sound of the wind, carrying the sound of the tide, rippled by.

The sky was pitch black, with only a few snowflakes drifting in the wind under the glow of the lights.

"Come to think of it, it hasn't snowed in Mondstadt for a long time. It seems nice to see snow once in a while."

Wendy murmured softly.

Looking at the night sky, all I could do was remain silent.

Just then, a murmur of discussion arose from behind.

"Wow, this is really well written. There's so much content, I guess I won't finish reading it until tomorrow?"

"I'll go home and study it overtime. I'm going to listen to the storyteller's analysis tomorrow, and then I'll take the analysis to Miss Zhou to impress her."

"I knew you were interested in Miss Zhou. Give me five hundred, and I'll give up competing with you."

"three hundred."

"Four hundred."

"make a deal."

The two reached an agreement and walked away chatting and laughing.

"Clap clap clap."

Wendy patted her face.

Now is not the time to reminisce about the past; it's time to earn money for the Lantern Festival.

He picked up the book and continued reading.

I won't leave you all alone.

Kiana gritted her teeth and broke through Yu Duchen's seal with a single punch.

Fu Hua turned around and saw Kiana flying towards her. She instinctively reached out her hand, but then withdrew it in fear.

"Kiana, what are you doing here? What if the seal is broken...?"

"Enough with the nonsense. I'll beat her up one more time. She's not getting away from me. No way."

Kiana's gaze was firm as she pulled Fu Hua to her side.

Time flows by, and time remains silent.

Only mission.

Fu Hua slowly moved forward in the river of history, her attire constantly changing, until she finally transformed into the appearance of a class monitor.

Seeing this, Wendy fell silent again.

Won't you be all alone...?

Just then, a voice sounded from behind.

"Hey street singer, what are you doing reading here? We spotted you from afar at the restaurant."

Paimon's voice sounded from behind.

Wendy turned around and saw Ying and Paimon behind her, and Amber and the others waving at her not far away.

"Such a fine work deserves to be read in a good place."

Wendy said with a smile.

"Do you want to come to our party? There's lots of delicious food, and the dishes are almost served."

Paimon wiped his mouth, looking craving something.

Are you treating us?

Wendy asked with a smile.

"We're treating, Fang Qiu will pay."

Paimon said, "In Liyue's words, it's like missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I want the best-tasting dandelion wine!"

Wendy smiled, put away her book, and followed Ying and the others.

They went up to the restaurant together.

at this time.

Yae no Miko entered the VIP room.

"Divine Child? Weren't you going to the victory celebration banquet?"

Ying shook her head.

"Who said I went to the celebration party? I just went to buy you glutinous rice balls and milk, and declined their invitation."

Seeing the sadness in Ying's eyes, Yae no Miko, unusually, did not tease Ying.

She had already finished reading the plot of Crossing the Dust while on the way.

That's why she declined the invitation at the last minute.

Instead, I bought glutinous rice balls, milk, and snacks.

Over thousands of years, one by one, the people around Ying have left.

As time goes by...

The baptism of war...

betray……

Lord Kitsune-sai-miya, Lord Torachiyo, Lord Sasa-yuri.

And... the real adult...

They all left the shadow.

Now, all that's left by Ying's side is herself, the little fox who used to warm her hands and feet.

"It's quite lively outside."

"Shadow said."

"Yes, it's just as lively as Inazuma."

Yae Kamiko said with a smile.

teahouse.

Zhongli was engrossed in reading when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

He turned around, but saw no one.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hu Tao's voice came from.

"Guest, stop looking. I'm planning to invite some friends to dinner. What do you think?"

"That's what Hu Tao said in a quirky way."

"Master, you should ask Miss Fang Qiu about this matter."

A faint smile appeared on Zhong Li's lips.

"Ask Fang Qiu? That makes sense. It wouldn't be good if there was a scheduling conflict."
