While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

Yura had one hand under her head and the other hand holding a pen, as if she had fallen asleep while writing.

His movements had clearly woken her up.

She stirred, slowly raised her head, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

That face, which always carried pride and stubbornness, now showed a hint of languor that no one knew about. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a faint red mark on her cheek.

She looked limp and soft, like a cat that had just woken up.

She yawned, finally waking up completely, and her gaze fell on Xu Chuan.

"You're awake." The voice was still hoarse from just waking up.

Xu Chuan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Is this Yura's house?

How did he get here?

What exactly happened last night?

Yura seemed to read his mind and stretched her stiff shoulders.

Her subconscious movements generously displayed her youthful and beautiful figure.

“You drank too much yesterday, and I was too lazy to leave you at the door to be eaten by mosquitoes, so I just brought you back with me.”

The tone of his voice was as if he had picked up a small animal and taken it home.

If it weren't for Yura's inability to look directly at herself.

Instead, Xu Chuan actually believed it when he looked out the window.

"By the way, this grudge... I don't care."

She changed the subject halfway through her sentence.

The phrase "I'll remember this grudge," which was on the tip of his tongue, lingered for a moment before he swallowed it back down.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Xu Chuan sat on the bed, and Youla sat at the desk; neither of them spoke.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the floor between the two people and clearly revealing the dust particles in the air.

"Um..." Xu Chuan broke the silence and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I don't think I said anything nonsense last night, did I?"

Yura glanced back at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"What do you say?"

Xu Chuan's heart jumped instantly.

"Let me think, what did you say?"

Yura didn't answer immediately. She tapped her head with her quill and pretended to think.

Immediately afterwards, she stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.

The morning breeze rushed in from outside, carrying the scent of grass and dew, dispelling the last trace of hangover gloom in the room.

She had her back to Xu Chuan, her voice was carried away by the wind, and her ears were much redder as she spoke.

"No matter what you do, I will stand by your side."

Xu Chuan was stunned. Had he said any of this?

"that's it?"

That's all.

Yura turned around and leaned against the window frame, the panic and shyness from her lie vanishing instantly. "What, did you say something else?"

"No, no," Xu Chuan quickly waved his hand. "That's all, it's fine."

Yura stared at him for two seconds, then turned her face away.

“Hmph,” she said softly, “I’ll remember this grudge.”

This time, she didn't change the subject.

Xu Chuan looked at her profile; the sunlight shone on her hair, turning the pale blue into a light gold.

Her eyelashes were long, casting a small shadow on her cheek.

Xu Chuan paused for a moment, then realized that this morning wasn't so bad after all.

"very beautiful."

Hearing his soft words, Yura's blush returned.

Xu Chuan also realized something was wrong and tentatively suggested, "How about I make breakfast as an apology?"

Yura turned her head and raised an eyebrow.

"You think you can apologize with just breakfast?"

"Those two meals?"

Yura couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The smile was faint, like ripples on a lake when the wind blows across it—fleeting, yet undeniably present.

"Then I'll have to look forward to your cooking skills."

Xu Chuan responded and got up to walk out.

As he passed the desk, he glanced at the spot where Yura had been lying. The pen was still on the desk, the ink stain leaving a small dot on the paper.

There were a few lines of writing crookedly on the paper next to him, as if he had fallen asleep halfway through writing.

He didn't look closely and quickly walked out of the room.

After the door closed, Yura stood there, looking at the closed door, and then at the half-written page on the table.

The document above contains the Knights' mission report, along with some candid remarks made after drinking.

The last line of writing became increasingly illegible, leaving a long trail of ink at the end of the sentence, making it impossible to read what was written.

She reached out and turned the page, the smile on her lips never fading.

Chapter 45 Amber's Surprise

After stepping out of the room, Xu Chuan let out a soft breath to clear his head.

After Yura took off her cold mask, she had a slightly shy smile, which was really unfair.

Looking back now, Xu Chuan still couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Hopefully, he can handle more of this kind of "holding grudges."

Of course, he wouldn't forget the breakfast he promised Yura.

The kitchen, though small, was very tidy.

Xu Chuan looked around and thought that this was very much in line with Yura's personality; she was more serious than anyone else.

Perhaps because Yura rarely stays here except when she returns to Mondstadt to rest, the food prepared was not much.

However, it's enough for just making breakfast.

"Eggs, toast, apples, and bacon..." Xu Chuan counted the ingredients, starting to plan the menu in his mind.

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

the other side.

Yura stretched and loosened her stiff shoulders.

I fell asleep on my desk last night, and my neck is still a little sore.

She hummed an unknown tune as she began to tidy up the bed, which had become somewhat messy after Xu Chuan had slept there.

She folded the blankets, fluffed up the pillows, and smoothed out the sheets. After doing all this, she stood by the bed, looked at the blankets, tucked them in a little more, and then turned around, satisfied.

She tidied her hair in front of the mirror.

The person in the mirror still had sleepy eyes, and a faint red mark was pressed on their cheek.

Yura glanced at herself and suddenly found it a little funny.

She turned and walked towards the door, but stopped after a couple of steps and glanced back at the bed.

The blankets were folded neatly, and the pillows were fluffed up; there was no sign that someone had slept in them last night.

This realization stirred a strange feeling within her, something she couldn't quite put her finger on, but she felt that the sunlight seemed brighter than usual today.

She pushed open the door, and a fragrant aroma wafted towards her.

Yura paused for a moment, then followed the aroma to the kitchen.

At the kitchen doorway, Xu Chuan was carrying two plates out.

He was wearing a pink apron, creating a striking contrast.

"With limited ingredients, this is the best we can do."

Yura looked down at the breakfast on the table.

Satisfying salad, fisherman's toast, and Teyvat omelet.

The fried egg yolk was round and plump, and the edges of the egg white were fried until they were crispy and delicate, the heat was just right.

The three items, arranged together, are pleasing to the eye in color and their aromas intertwine, making one's mouth water.

“How could that be?” Yura swallowed the food in her mouth, her tone slightly surprised. “It tastes amazing.”

Xu Chuan sat down opposite her and began to eat his own portion.

He smiled upon hearing this.

To make this breakfast, he even used the knight's life-saving technique of fighting bare-handed.

He handles all kinds of kitchen utensils with ease and has perfect control over the heat.

When frying eggs, the heat must be just right.

This ability was originally intended for combat, so using it for cooking is probably quite unique.

However, the effect was indeed quite good.

Yura took another bite of salad and suddenly felt that today's breakfast was more delicious than ever before.

Perhaps it's because of the person who makes breakfast.

She suppressed the thought and focused on the food on her plate.

Halfway through their meal, Amber's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Yura! I've come to find you. Let's go to the Deer Hunter's for breakfast together later!"

The footsteps grew closer, accompanied by the sound of keys rattling.

Because she often had to go out on missions, Amber would help clean the house, so she already had a key to the front door.

She opened the door with practiced ease and then said, "You rarely stay in Mondstadt for so long, you can't miss the banquet tonight."

Amber walked in, a smile on her face, and was about to say something more.

Then she saw the two people sitting at the table, their eyes full of surprise.

Did I open the door wrong?

But this is Yura's house, so why is Xu Chuan here?

Amber's gaze swept back and forth between the two, her mind automatically filling in countless possibilities.

"Ah... haha," she chuckled dryly, "Looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

With that, she turned to leave.

"Amber, wait a minute!"

Yura panicked and quickly got up to chase after him, grabbing Amber's arm.
