[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Meeting his humbly seeking-for-advice eyes, Chloe felt that she didn't need to hold hands right now, as her heart was about to beat out of her chest.

Of course, it wasn't because of throbbing, but because of guilty conscience.

By the way, what race is Villette? He should be an adult at his age, right?

Chloe looked at the man in front of her who was obviously two heads taller than her, but she didn't dare to give a definite answer.

It's because Violet looks so innocent! She always seems to be leading a child astray!
"Ms. Chloe?"

After not getting an answer for a long time, Villette couldn't help but remind him.

Chloe couldn't hold it in for a long time and finally asked what was on her mind.

Villette looked puzzled, but nodded: "Don't worry, Ms. Chloe, I have lived for a long, long time."

Although it was a very serious answer, Chloe always felt that every word he said seemed to be waving at her, saying to her: "I am an adult now, you can do whatever you want to me~"

…She swore that she would never hide under the quilt and watch Sese again.

Chloe brainstormed, but her restless heart finally prevailed.

Aurelie was right. If she didn't take the initiative, there would be no story! This was the person she had secretly loved for so long. How could she be content without trying once?
She was determined to set a trap for the simple Supreme Inquisitor.

"I don't know either." Chloe put on the most innocent expression in her life, and then took Villette's hand again when she was not paying attention. "Maybe it will feel different if we practice it again?"

"Different... feeling?" Villette felt it carefully, but perhaps this time something was missing compared to the last time, and his heart did not feel out of control.

But seeing Chloe following him obediently because of their clasped hands, he didn't want to let go for a moment.

So after the two of them tacitly chose to put the matter behind them, they naturally maintained this posture and left Mo Mang Palace.

When passing by the Debo Hotel, Villette paused.

Chloe, who had been secretly paying attention to his situation, immediately noticed something wrong and asked, "What's wrong, Master Villette?"

In fact, Villette just remembered the cake he originally wanted to bring to Chloe yesterday.

Because of a sudden accident, he accidentally dropped the cake to the ground. Its original exquisite appearance was no longer there, and it was naturally not suitable to be sent out anymore.

In the end, he ate the cake alone beside Chloe's bed, but now he can't remember what it tasted like.

He wanted to taste it again, with Chloe.

"Ms. Chloe, could you please come in with me?" Villette invited.

Because she fainted, Chloe didn't know about the cake, so at the moment she was wondering why Villette wanted to go to the Debo Hotel.

But this did not prevent her from agreeing to Villette's request. After all, who could say no to such a face?
The two of them walked in together.

Chloe, who had already made up her mind to take action against Villette, even became a little thicker-skinned. She was completely different from when she wanted to find a hole to crawl into when faced with the gossiping eyes of her colleagues this morning. Although she was ashamed, she still held on to the people around her tightly.

However, a thin-skinned person cannot become a social celebrity all of a sudden. She was so immersed in nervousness that she didn't notice that Villette had already taken the familiar cake from the waiter and took her to find a seat.

"Ms. Chloe, would you like to try it?"

Chloe subconsciously did what he said, picked up the spoon and scooped a piece of cake into her mouth.

As soon as the cake entered her mouth, the expression on her face changed again and again. Such a familiar taste——

She finally focused her attention on the cake that Villet had ordered, and it was indeed the one that Sedna had shared with her before.

How should I put it? Not surprising at all.

As a rehabilitation officer, Chloe occasionally has to deal with the Law Enforcement Court working on the second floor of the Mo Mang Palace.

The Meluseens who work there have special vision due to their race, which gives them a natural talent for solving cases, but in addition to that, their sense of taste is also very different from that of humans.

As a member of Melusin, Sedna is of course no exception.

The petite Meilushin looks adorable at all times, especially when she rarely shows shyness because he wants to invite her to eat cake, which makes people unable to control themselves.

Chloe had no way to refuse, nor did she have any way to say that the taste of this cake was not suitable for humans, just as she had no way to spit out the food in her mouth in front of Violet.

She could only swallow it with difficulty.

This feeling of desolation was more stimulating than knowing that her parents were bankrupt.

As Chloe watched Violet eat the cake without changing her expression, she began to suspect that a rumor she had read in a tabloid before, which said that Violet was actually the only male Melusin in Teyvat, was true.

She couldn't help but whispered, "Does Lord Villette like this flavor of cake?"

Villette paused and said, "Sedna said you like it very much."

As he said this, the man's eyes widened slightly.

Although it was only a slight change in expression, it still showed that he was shocked that Chloe would like this flavor of cake.

Chloe read the subtext in his words.

Maybe Villette was not used to the taste, but since Sedna said she liked it, he could tolerate it.

It's a bit too cute——

It was just like when the little sea otter first arrived at her house and saw her eating human food.

The little creature that grew up in the wild was rescued by her. It had never been in contact with humans before and probably only regarded her as a strange-looking "wild animal", like a crab or seahorse in the sea.

So it simply couldn't understand why Chloe would eat something that had been cooked over a fire.

"嘤嘤嘤——"

The little sea otter stared at her with wide eyes, as if asking in confusion if it was not hot.

However, when the little sea otter saw that Chloe had no strange reaction at all and even looked like she was enjoying it, he showed an expression of incomprehension but respect.

Please don't question how she could tell what the little guy was thinking. Chloe could only say that they were destined to be together. Otherwise, why would she be the one to pick it up on the beach among so many people in the world?
In short, Villette's expression at this moment completely coincided with the expression of the little sea otter at the beginning, making Chloe couldn't help laughing out loud.
