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

Okay, so she originally intended to use the mask to prank Ray Movie.

In hindsight, it seems we dug our own grave.

Yae no Miko rubbed her temples, then looked up at Fang Xun: "Mr. Fang Xun, it seems I may not be able to continue accompanying you to Inazuma today."

"Let that country girl keep you company for the rest of the time. The Inazuma Festival is quite interesting."

Yae no Miko paused, then continued, "If she really did lead you astray..."

"You can shout loudly, 'The beautiful and wise Yae no Miko,' and I will appear then."

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'm going to go see what mess those editors left me with."

As he spoke, Yae no Miko turned and left, heading towards Yae no Do.

The female editor also said goodbye to Fang Xun and the others, and then hurriedly followed behind Yae Shinji to tell them about the situation of Yae Hall.

Soon, the two left the snack shop.

Watching Yae no Miko's departing figure, Lei Yingdian murmured, "That Miko guy..."

"Does she think I'm the kind of person who would get lost in Inazuma?"

"That's seriously underestimating people."

Yae no Miko's words also stirred up Lei's competitive spirit.

She couldn't let Yae no Miko look down on her.

It's just a trip to Inazuma, isn't it?

What's so difficult?

...

"Um... Shadow, haven't we been here just now?"

Fang Xun stared at the snack shop in front of him, lost in thought.

After going around in circles, they returned to the snack shop where they started.

Could he be a movie fanatic?

Ying looked around at the street scene before her, and said with some confusion, "Have we been here before?"

Sara and Ayaka nodded weakly.

The little ones have excellent observation skills and were certain that they had returned to the original spot.

In response, Lei Yingdian said, "I'm sorry, I've been staying in the Pure Land of One Heart for a long time, and I've become unfamiliar with many places in Inazuma."

If Yae no Miko were here, she would definitely laugh at the ridiculous movie.

It is said that she, as a deity of Inazuma, actually got lost in Inazuma.

Ying also felt a little embarrassed about this.

Fang Xun could see that Ying was embarrassed, and said with a smile, "It's no problem, we can just stroll around."

As he spoke, Fang Xun pointed in a direction.

There were many tables set up there, and many people were sitting there, making it look very lively.

"I see quite a lot of people gathered over there, there must be something fun going on, why don't we go check it out?"

Fang Xun felt that Ying might not be suitable to be a guide.

Because even the shadow himself is not familiar with Inazuma now.

Since that's the case, let's just take a look.

When Fang Xun and the others got closer, they found that the people were sitting in pairs, facing each other.

There is a chessboard on the table, and the chess pieces are of five colors.

Green represents wind, red represents fire, purple represents lightning, and dark and light blue represent water and ice.

When the shop owner saw the customer arrive, he said warmly, "Would you like to take a look at our newly launched products?"

"It's very interesting, I guarantee you'll be interested!"

Fang Xun looked at the chess pieces on the table and felt they were very familiar.

He blurted out instinctively, "The Mechanical Chess Game?"

This is a limited-time event in the game where you place traps to prevent monsters from reaching the end.

Unexpectedly, this activity has only just been launched.

The shop owner was also reflecting on what Fang Xun had unintentionally said earlier.

"Chess Game? That's a good name!"

"We're having a naming contest going on here. You'll receive a gift if your name is chosen!"

"Sir, the 'mechanical chess game' you just mentioned has been adopted. We'll bring you the gift right away!"

Fang Xun was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

what's the situation?

He just casually mentioned the name of the event, and then somehow he received a gift?

Before Fang Xun could react, the shop owner stuffed a bouquet of flowers into Fang Xun's arms.

"These are the gifts from the naming event. Now you can give the flowers to the person you like!"

As they spoke, the store manager took a step back and looked at Fang Xun with encouraging eyes.

She kept giving Fang Xun meaningful glances, urging him to give the flowers to the lady next to him.

The person standing next to Fang Xun was Lei Yingdian.

Chapter 173 Shadow: Willing to Witness the Most Beautiful Time with You

In the store manager's opinion, Fang Xun and Lei Yingdian should be a couple.

Even if they aren't lovers, their relationship should be somewhere between friendship and romance.

This bouquet of flowers might just bring the two of them closer.

Fang Xun glanced at the flowers in his hand, then looked up at Ying.

He had assumed Lei would be uninterested in flowers.

But to his surprise, Ying's attention was entirely focused on the bouquet of flowers.

Indeed, women are ultimately creatures who love romance.

This also applies to Lei's movies.

However, the next second,

Fang Xun saw Lei Yingdian stroking his chin, looking puzzled, and said, "Flowers can't stay vibrant forever; they should wither quickly."

"Flowers cannot last forever, so why do humans like to express their emotions in this way?"

Fang Xun: ? ? ?

Seeing Lei staring intently at the flowers, he assumed Ying liked flowers.

After all that, Ying was thinking about why people like to give flowers.

So it turns out there really are homebodies in the world who don't like romance.

In response, Fang Xun said, "Ying, you don't need to overcomplicate things."

"People like to send flowers to express their feelings, simply because girls like romance, and that alone is enough."

Ying looked up at Fang Xun, then asked, "What is romance?"

She had been staying in her sanctuary for far too long.

For Ying, romance is a word she cannot understand.

If Yae no Miko were here, she would probably reply, "Only I can tease you; no one else can. That's what romance is."

However, Fang Xun naturally couldn't answer like that.

He pondered for a moment, then patiently explained, "Romance is a state of being, which refers to the little details and warmth between couples."

Seeing that Ying still didn't understand, Fang Xun continued, "Let's take sending flowers as an example."

"Although flowers wither quickly after blooming, they are exceptionally beautiful when they are in full bloom."

"And the reason why people give flowers to people they like,"

"It roughly means that although the blooming period of flowers is short, I want to witness this most beautiful moment with you."

After he finished speaking, Lei Yingdian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Does Fang Xun mean that he likes me and wants to witness the most beautiful moment of the flowers with me?"

"Eh?"

To be honest, Fang Xun was very surprised; he hadn't expected Ying to interpret it that way.

Enterprise-level understanding, huh?

Immediately afterwards, Lei Dianying began to speak on his own.

"Although I still don't quite understand human emotions, I'm willing to witness the flowers at their most beautiful with Fang Xun."

As they spoke, Lei Yingdian accepted the flowers from Fang Xun.

At that moment, the system's voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.

"Ding! Lei Yingdian's favorability rating has increased from 0 to level 1."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained an Entangled Bond."

The girl's favorability rating has increased.

Watching Ying accept the flowers, the little ones beside her remained quiet and well-behaved.

Because Fang Xun often bought flowers for them, they didn't feel resentful.
