Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

This was the first time that Ningguang, who was always calm and composed, had shown signs of anxiety and nervousness.

...

As for Ningguang,

Ningguang knew Liyue's terrain far better than that person.

She quickly caught up with the man and cornered him on a deserted street corner.

Why are you avoiding me? Do I look scary?

Ningguang crossed her arms over her chest, her tone filled with dissatisfaction and deep resentment.

The person turned around, and it was none other than Fang Xun, whom Ningguang had been longing for.

Twenty years have passed, but Fang Xun is still the same young man he was before, without the slightest change.

Fang Xun scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'll be the first to disagree if anyone says my Ningguang looks scary."

Ningguang stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Fang Xun.

She was very assertive, her eyes fixed on Fang Xun: "Then why are you avoiding me, Brother Fang Xun, and refusing to see me?"

Fang Xun smiled wryly and explained, "I'm going back to Liyue this time to find you."

"I just saw that you were busy working hard to earn money, so I didn't want to bother you."

Upon arriving in Liyue, Fang Xun immediately went to find Ningguang.

But unfortunately, Ningguang was busy working.

So he decided to first take a stroll around the transformed Liyue.

I didn't expect Ningguang to catch up.

This little girl is still just as stubborn as she was twenty years ago.

Upon hearing this, Ningguang pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "No matter how much money I earn, it's only to buy your time."

"Have dinner with me tonight, you can't refuse."

If others heard these words, their jaws would probably drop in astonishment.

Normally, wealthy businessmen spend huge sums of money to buy Ningguang's time, but Ningguang actually has to spend money to buy time?

Most importantly, the usually aloof Ningguang actually has a side that's like a spoiled little girl?!

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fang Xun nodded.

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Should we call others?"

There are still many people he hasn't seen when he returned to Liyue this time.

For example, Qiqi, Shenhe, Ganyu...

Upon hearing this, Ningguang shook her head: "I won't call them. Tonight, your time belongs only to me."

As she spoke, as if afraid that Fang Xun would leave again, she even grabbed Fang Xun's hand.

Fang Xun suddenly felt that Ningguang was no longer cute at all after growing up.

So domineering and forceful.

...

Qunyu Pavilion.

This palace, suspended in the sky, was originally built by Fang Xun and Ning Guang together.

It's fully equipped, including a kitchen, of course.

Ningguang specifically instructed Baishi to buy some vegetables, and then withdrew all the staff from Qunyu Pavilion.

This greatly surprised Bai Shi.

Is Lady Ningguang going to cook herself?

You should know that Ningguang hasn't cooked for many years.

It is said that Ningguang is quite skilled at cooking in Liyue, but unfortunately no one has the opportunity to taste her food.

Who is so fortunate as to have Lady Ningguang cook for them personally?

Although Bai Shi was curious and surprised, he still did as Ning Guang said.

After buying the vegetables Ningguang wanted, they immediately evacuated everyone from Qunyu Pavilion.

Nowadays, Qunyu Pavilion is exceptionally quiet and empty.

Ningguang was the only one.

Fang Xun appeared only after everyone had left.

Unfortunately, given his current special status, he can only try to stay away from crowds as much as possible.

Because if someone recognizes him, he might not be able to roam freely in the mortal world anymore.

Soon, Ningguang put on an apron and went to the kitchen, letting Fang Xun rest for a while.

Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, and Ningguang came out carrying dishes.

I made three dishes and a soup in total.

The three dishes are: Three Treasures of the Earth, Dongpo Pork, and Beggar's Chicken.

The first soup is loofah and egg soup.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup in front of him, Fang Xun subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

These dishes are not from the continent of Teyvat.

But Ningguang actually did that?

Ningguang noticed Fang Xun's surprise and said softly, "Knowing that Brother Fang Xun likes to eat these dishes, I specially went to study how to make them."

Because Fang Xun's dishes are quite special.

Ningguang searched all the chefs in Liyue, but none of them knew how to make these three dishes.

She could only figure it out and research it on her own.

Keep trying and failing until the food tastes similar to what Fang Xun used to make, just as he remembered it.

She put a lot of effort into cooking, just so that one day she could cook a meal for Fang Xun.

"Although I know it can't compare to Brother Fangxun's cooking skills, I still hope you will like it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun nodded gently: "You put your heart into it."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and savored it carefully.

Ningguang reached out and rested her pretty face on her hand, gazing quietly at Fang Xun in front of her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Brother Fang Xun, what do you think of the taste?"

Fang Xun put down his chopsticks and nodded gently: "Not bad, very delicious."

This answer made Ningguang very happy, even happier than when she earned millions of Mora.

"If Brother Fangxun likes it, eat more. I can make it for you every day from now on."

Ningguang's eyes sparkled, and her tone was gentle.

Many years ago, Fang Xun always said this to her.

Years later, she responded to Fang Xun in the same way.

"Brother Fang Xun, come and try this soup, it should be quite sweet."

"And this meat, you have to eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good if the food gets cold."

Ningguang kept putting food into Fang Xun's bowl.

In front of Fang Xun, she was not some powerful and influential Tianquan Star, but just an ordinary, somewhat clingy girl.

Before Fang Xun could even take a bite of his meal, his bowl was already full of food that Ning Guang had picked up.

However, these were all Ningguang's concerns, and Fang Xun finished all the food.

By the time dinner was finished, it was completely dark.

Ningguang gazed at the bright, flawless moon outside the window and suggested, "Brother Fangxun, why don't we go for a walk after dinner?"

Fang Xun also felt that he had eaten too much and that going for a walk would be a good idea.

The two left Qunyu Pavilion and arrived at Yaoguang Beach.

The moonlight gently spilled onto the sea, and the waves crashed against the shore before quickly receding.

Only two footprints remained on the beach.

Fang Xun noticed that Ning Guang beside him had a faint smile on her face, as if she had been very happy since the beginning of the night.

Fang Xun couldn't help but ask, "Ningguang, you seem very happy tonight. Is something making you happy?"

Ningguang paused slightly upon hearing this.

She looked up into Fang Xun's eyes, then chuckled and said, "It's a joyous occasion that Brother Fang Xun is back."

"Going for a walk with Brother Fang Xun makes me feel like I've forgotten all my worries."

"Having you by my side makes me feel much more at ease."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun wore a faint smile.

Ningguang has already become one of the Liyue Seven Stars, but I didn't expect her to still be so clingy.

"In that case, I'll stay a few more days."

Ningguang raised her head and stared intently at Fang Xun: "Just a few days?"

"Little girl, how long do you want me to stay?"

"No matter how long you stay, I will always be by your side."

“If you run away by yourself again like last time and become a hands-off parent, I will never forgive you.”

Fang Xun raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "What do you mean you won't forgive me?"
