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

Hearing Fang Xun's praise, Gan Yu was very happy, so much so that the ahoge (cowlick) on her head also straightened up.

She was very happy to have won Fang Xun's favor.

It doesn't matter what others think, as long as Fang Xun thinks it looks good.

"Let's go, now's the best time to visit the night market,"

"I'll take you to understand human life."

Fang Xun took Gan Yu's hand and headed to the night market.

Before leaving, Fang Xun also assigned tasks to the other children in the family.

Ningguang perfected the Qunyu Pavilion.

Shen He practices meditation.

Beidou practices two-handed sword.

Keqing practices the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Ayaka Kamisato learns the Liyue language and script from Sara.

Finally, Fang Xun instructed Taro Maru and Qi Qi to watch the house.

"Don't worry, Fang Xun... I will take good care of everyone."

The adorable little Qiqi blinked her big, watery eyes and made a promise to Fang Xun.

After speaking, Qiqi looked at Taro-maru beside her.

"Taromaru...are you hungry?"

"I'll go get you some dog food..."

...

Soon, Fang Xun brought Gan Yu to the night market.

Liyue's night market is very lively.

Merchants from various countries gather here.

A wide variety of snacks, as well as many other novelties that have come from elsewhere.

Everything you could want for eating, drinking, and entertainment is available.

As long as you have enough Mora in your pocket, this is paradise.

If that weren't the case, why would even Grandpa Zhong be thinking of wandering the mortal world?

However, Gan Yu didn't seem to adapt well to the bustling environment of the night market.

Because she is used to being with documents and things, she feels uncomfortable in crowded places.

Simply put, it's social anxiety disorder.

Gan Yu suffers from severe social anxiety; outside of work, she avoids talking to people whenever possible.

The kind of person who would rather write a letter than speak.

Gan Yu's social anxiety is only alleviated when she is with Fang Xun.

It was clear that Gan Yu was nervous and at a loss, so Fang Xun stood beside her and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

"Just follow me obediently, you don't need to do anything, just leave everything to me."

Fang Xun led Gan Yu toward the crowd.

The best way to understand human life is to experience it for yourself.

Along the way, the people frequently cast curious glances at Gan Yu.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Gan Yu to appear at the night market.

To everyone's surprise, Gan Yu had changed into a nice casual outfit.

These gazes made Gan Yu feel her face flush and she became restless.

Fang Xun noticed this and took Gan Yu's hand to soothe her emotions.

This scene did not surprise the people.

Because of Gan Yu's relationship with Fang Xun, it had already been spread by the Thousand Rock Army, who kept it a secret.

Therefore, their behavior was no longer considered unusual by the common people.

On the contrary, if Fang Xun hadn't held Gan Yu's hand,

People might be wondering if Lady Gan Yu had a fight with Mr. Fang Xun?

Feeling the warmth from her palm, Gan Yu gradually calmed down.

If she were alone, there would be no way she would come to the night market.

However, if Fang Xun accompanied her, Gan Yu felt that going to the night market wasn't so scary.

At least, with Fang Xun by her side, she wouldn't run away.

It was an indescribable, yet comforting sense of security.

"Didn't you want to eat Osmanthus Cake? I saw they sell it over there."

At this moment, Fang Xun pointed in the direction of a shop and said to Gan Yu beside him.

Chapter 264 A girl who blushes and is shy is a treasure.

The owner of the Qingxin Flower Jelly was a kind-faced old lady.

She always had a smile on her face and would hand out candy to children who passed by.

Perhaps due to his advanced age, the old man's eyes were hazy and he couldn't see anything at all.

Even though she has lost her sight, the elderly woman's refreshing flower cakes taste great, and she has many repeat customers.

"Would you two like a refreshing flower rice cake?"

Although the old man was blind, his hearing was very acute.

She heard Fang Xun and Gan Yu's footsteps and immediately stood up.

"Although I can't see, the flower-shaped jelly I make still tastes pretty good. You can try it if you don't believe me."

As they spoke, the old man handed the refreshing flower cakes to Fang Xun and Gan Yu.

Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Fang Xun first thanked him.

Then he picked up a piece of refreshing flower cake and handed it to Gan Yu.

As Gan Yu carefully savored the refreshing flower cake, her eyes immediately lit up.

The refreshing flower cake was delicious, even better than she remembered!

Fang Xun noticed that Gan Yu liked this refreshing flower cake.

He said to the old man, "I'll take all of these chilled flower cakes."

Upon hearing that Fang Xun wanted to buy all the desserts, Gan Yu quickly shook her head: "No, you can't eat too much, you'll get fat."

The fruit itself is bitter, and to eliminate the bitterness, many vendors add a lot of sugar to this type of chilled flower cake.

Gan Yu was worried that eating too much sugar would make her fat, which would affect her position in Fang Xun's heart.

Seeing Gan Yu's nervous expression, Fang Xun smiled and said, "Eating just a few pastries won't make you fat."

"Besides, you're too thin right now. It's okay if you gain weight. You might even be cuter that way."

"For example, if you accidentally roll down the mountain, just thinking about that scene is funny."

Hearing Fang Xun's teasing, Gan Yu's pretty face immediately turned extremely red.

"No, you mustn't say any more."

"Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore."

Seeing Gan Yu blushing shyly, Fang Xun found her very cute.

Girls who blush easily like this are truly a treasure.

Fang Xun said indulgently, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything."

The old woman next to her smiled, unaware that the person in front of her was Gan Yu, and simply thought she was an ordinary girl.

"Girl, don't worry, these chilled flower cakes of mine won't make you fat, I'm absolutely not lying to you..."

"Because these pastries don't contain white sugar, but instead use sweet flower petals."

Fang Xun reassured Gan Yu, then paid for the refreshing flower cake.

The old lady handed the packaged chilled flower cakes to Gan Yu and said with a smile, "If you think these pastries taste good, you can come often in the future."

The old man's words touched Gan Yu's heart.

She had been avoiding human society all along, but this brief interaction with the old lady felt quite nice.

Especially the old lady's words, "Come again often," made Gan Yu feel like an ordinary citizen of Liyue in that instant.

Gan Yu didn't know if this could be considered integrating into human life, but at the very least, Li Yue wasn't so far away from her anymore.

At this moment, Fang Xun said to Gan Yu, "The old lady makes and sells refreshing flower cakes every day; that's her life."

"In fact, most people's lives are like this, simply passing each day without any embellishment."

Gan Yu turned around and looked at the old lady's shop behind her.

She seems to have gained some understanding of human life.

For Gan Yu, a simple and unpretentious life is just fine.

If one day she no longer works as a secretary, she also wants to live an ordinary life.

After that, Fang Xun took Gan Yu to the teahouse.

Fang Xun explained to Gan Yu, "During their leisure time, many people come to teahouses to drink tea and listen to storytelling, which is a way to relax and unwind."

"If you want to understand human life, perhaps a teahouse is a good place to observe."
