[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Chloe felt like fireworks were going off in her world. Even her steps were light and her mind was filled with the five words "He likes me too".

Even though Violet couldn't read minds, he could see what she was thinking at this moment.

There's nothing you can do about it. Who made that person look so flushed as if he was drunk?

When Chloe almost fell down again because of distraction, he held the girl's soft hand tightly and reminded her gently: "Ms. Chloe, remember to watch the road."

Chloe nodded blankly, but whether she really listened or not was another matter.

That Villette sighed helplessly: "Ms. Chloe, are you so happy?"

Chloe's smirk was his response.

Villette also laughed out loud. There was nothing he could do about it. In fact, he was very happy too.

He had to hold Chloe's hand tighter so that he would be able to catch her in time if someone accidentally tripped again.

The journey from the Opéracle Opera House back to Fontaine is very long, and there is a cool breeze blowing while sitting on the patrol boat.

Chloe leaned openly on Villette's shoulder, humming a tune in the cool breeze.

The good mood ends when you get home.

As soon as the door opened, Chloe smelled the strong smell of medicinal wine. Her father, Mr. Durand, was lying on the sofa, wailing at the top of his voice: "Ouch, my waist——"

Chloe helped him up at a loss: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine when I left?"

Mrs. Durand came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of soup and answered him, "Oh, I sprained my waist. Didn't you go out to play today? We thought you would be back late and probably hadn't had dinner yet, so we thought of making something hearty. But when we went out to buy ingredients, your father found that his shoelaces were untied, so he squatted down to tie them."

"And then he sprained his waist when he got up?" Chloe guessed doubtfully.

Mrs. Durand laughed foolishly: "That's why they say that no one knows a father better than his daughter. He really did accidentally sprain his waist. But it's good that your father's shoelaces hadn't suddenly come undone, you might not have seen him tonight!"

"Huh?" Chloe didn't understand.

Finally, it was Mr. Durand who explained it himself: "You don't know, I just squatted down to tie my shoelaces, and suddenly a huge flower pot fell down from the front! If I hadn't stopped for a moment, I might have been hit by it!"

"So a sprained back can be considered a blessing in disguise," Mrs. Durand agreed with a smile, sounding optimistic.

However, this did not go over well with Chloe and Villette who were listening.

The two looked at each other, and both heard something strange.

Putting aside other things, why did this flower pot end up so coincidentally? It was so coincidental that it seemed to be aimed at Mr. Durand's life!

After dinner, Villette found an excuse to leave for a short while. When he came back, it was late at night, and Chloe was sitting on the bed in her nightgown waiting for him.

They both knew where he had gone.

That Villette sat down beside the bed and said, "Ms. Chloe, the Shadow Chaser Court has given its investigation results. The falling of the flower pot is indeed not normal. The preliminary estimate is that it should be related to the pure white lily of the valley that wanted to attack you before."

At this time, the Durands had already returned to their room to sleep.

They didn't know anything about the pure white lily of the valley. They only knew that their daughter had to live with Violet because of some recent problems.

Chloe didn't want them to worry about this, so she didn't plan to tell them, but just told her parents not to go out again in the near future. When Violet was away, she calmly arranged everything, but...

At this moment, Chloe looked down at her shaking hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Then Master Villette, I am still a little scared..."

She couldn't imagine what would happen to her father if the flowerpot really hit him.

Villette's eyes turned cold, and at this moment he truly wanted to kill the unknown guy.

He suppressed his coldness, held the thin girl in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Ms. Chloe, Mr. Durand is fine now, and nothing will happen to him in the future."

It is easy to understand why Pure White Lily of the Valley chose Mr. Durand as its target.

Violet has been almost inseparable from Chloe recently, so it is almost unrealistic for her to attack Chloe herself. She can only turn to the people around Chloe, and the first ones she chooses are her closest parents.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Durand was lucky enough to avoid it this time.

That Villette would not allow such a thing to happen a second time, so he had arranged some people to strengthen surveillance of the vicinity and report to him immediately if any suspicious person approached.

Chloe threw herself into his arms and sobbed quietly, soon soaking his shirt.

That Villette knew that she was not good at speaking and could not say anything nice to comfort her, so she said nothing more and just stroked her hair again and again.

The silent comfort warmed Chloe's heart.

She pulled herself together, sniffed hard, and said viciously in a voice that still contained tears: "Then Master Villette, I don't think we can go on like this!"

Villette:?
He didn't understand what Chloe had figured out in an instant, so he could only pretend to be attentive and wait for her to speak.

"Now that the pure white lily of the valley has not shown up, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. We are too passive. We have to turn the situation around!" Chloe has never felt that her mind is so clear. "I know it is difficult to do this, but I have an idea!"

A brilliant idea that is unique in the world. Pure white lily of the valley will definitely not be able to resist this temptation!

Villette was very curious about what she said: "What's the idea?"

Chloe asked back: "Then Lord Villette, do you still remember the threatening letter that Pure White Lily of the Valley sent at the beginning?"

Of course Villette remembered it, but if he remembered correctly, there was nothing nutritious in the letter except the content that made him crazy.

Chloe happened to catch the whole content that made him crazy: "It can be seen that everything the pure white lily of the valley is doing now is to attract your attention, but what if you don't care about what she does at all?"

That Villette seemed to understand somewhat what she meant.

If the pure white lily of the valley found that nothing she did could move the Supreme Judge at all, would she be angry and humiliated?

Of course, Chloe wanted more than that.

From the current perspective, Pure White Lily of the Valley is indeed a very patient and ruthless person. Perhaps this method of luring the snake out of its hole will require a stronger dose of medicine.
