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

But now, hearing Fang Xun's answer, she suddenly felt that she could face everything with equanimity.

"Gan Yu, can you tell me about your childhood? I'd like to hear it."

At this moment, Fang Xun looked into Gan Yu's eyes and asked softly.

Having the True Lord of Clouds and Wind tell the story of Gan Yu is a different concept from having Gan Yu tell it himself.

Allowing Gan Yu to personally recount her childhood stories signifies that she can confront her past.

Most importantly, only with a deep enough emotional connection would Gan Yu be willing to recount embarrassing stories from her childhood.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun saw Gan Yu nod slightly.

"Okay."

The True Lord Liuyun, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and flapped his wings to leave.

Seeing this, Fang Xun quickly called out from behind, "True Lord Liuyun, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you stay and have a meal together before going back?"

"No, I'm already full."

After saying this, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed the Wind turned around and flew back to his immortal abode.

Gan Yu was left completely bewildered.

"I didn't see True Lord Liuyun eating anything, so how come he's full?"

Fang Xun replied calmly, "They probably had their fill of tea here."

"Alright, continue telling your childhood stories."

Gan Yu said "oh" and began to reminisce about the past.

Fang Xun sat quietly to the side, occasionally glancing out the window.

It wasn't that he was distracted while listening; rather, he was thinking about preparing a surprise for Gan Yu tonight.

Chapter 303 Gan Yu's Side Story: Fulfilling a Childhood Wish

After the sun had completely set, Fang Xun ran to the kitchen to cook.

Tonight's meal is stir-fried sweet flowers and refreshing herbs.

The food was just right for Gan Yu, but not so good for Fang Xun.

It's fine to eat these kinds of vegetables only once in a while, but it can get a bit uncomfortable to eat them every day.

Just like Yun Jin can only eat stir-fried shrimp every day, it's easy to get tired of it.

After dinner, Fang Xun told Gan Yu that he was going to take a stroll around Liyue Harbor.

Gan Yu knew that Fang Xun hadn't eaten enough for dinner and wanted to go to the city to get some food.

She did not stop him, but simply told Fang Xun to be careful on the road.

She was responsible for staying in the cabin to clean.

After Fang Xun left, Gan Yu took a rag and cleaned every corner of the house.

Gan Yu is a responsible and meticulous person, and considering that this is her and Fang Xun's shared home, she cleans even more carefully.

Time passed slowly, and Gan Yu had finished all the sanitation work, but Fang Xun was nowhere to be seen.

Worried that Fang Xun might have encountered some trouble, she hurriedly ran out of the cabin, intending to go to Liyue Harbor to find him.

Gan Yu stepped out of the wooden house and suddenly stopped.

Because she saw countless crystal butterflies floating outside, like an ocean.

Although each crystal butterfly emits only a tiny bit of light, when their numbers increase, energy can transform and lead to a qualitative change.

Under the moonlight, these crystal butterflies resembled a sky full of stars.

Gan Yu was shocked by the scene before her.

Although there are also crystal butterflies near Jueyunjian, their numbers could not be this many, nor would they be distributed so densely.

Someone deliberately collected all the crystal butterflies and arranged them outside the house.

"Like it?"

At that moment, Fang Xun's voice rang out from the side.

“I heard from True Lord Liuyun that when you were a child, you wanted the stars in the sky,”

"I can't pluck the stars from the sky, so I'll use these crystal butterflies instead."

Hearing this, Gan Yu finally realized what was happening.

Fang Xun didn't go to Liyue Harbor for a late-night snack; instead, he went to catch Crystal Butterflies for her.

These crystal butterflies, as numerous as the ocean, were all painstakingly caught one by one by Fang Xun.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun went to Gan Yu's side and put the necklace on her.

This necklace is composed of many dazzling diamonds, strung together like glittering stars in the sky.

Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell this necklace is very valuable.

However, this was not a problem for Fang Xun.

He didn't even need to search for the necklace; he could simply tell Ningguang, and the matter would be taken care of immediately.

Tianquanxing's methods are no joke.

For a moment, Gan Yu felt her vision blurring as tears welled up in her eyes.

She had long forgotten the wildest dreams she had as a child.

She never expected Fang Xun to be so attentive, going out of his way to fulfill her wish.

They created a 'sea of ​​stars' for her and then took the 'stars' to make a necklace.

Gan Yu didn't know what to say, and tears streamed down her face.

"Why are you crying? You're such a silly goose,"

"Won't my future child be a crybaby too? That won't do. Okay, I like crybabies too."

"Ideally, someone like me: witty, brave, optimistic, cheerful, and helpful..."

Fang Xun reached out and gently wiped away Gan Yu's tears.

Looking at the unserious Fang Xun, Gan Yu burst into laughter through her tears: "It would be bad if the child looked like you."

Gan Yu sat down next to Fang Xun, gently resting her head on his shoulder.

"You've heard so much about my childhood, can I hear about yours?"

Gan Yu blushed and said shyly, "I... I want to know more about you."

"Okay."

Fang Xun nodded with a light laugh.

"When I was a kid, I could decipher bear sounds."

"Amazing!" Gan Yu's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration.

What did the bear say?

Fang Xun lowered his voice, his face serious: "It said... Bald Qiang is cutting down trees again!"

Gan Yu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what those words meant.

However, judging from Fang Xun's triumphant expression, he was probably teasing her on purpose.

Gan Yu reached out and gently pounded Fang Xun's chest.

Fang Xun smiled and let Gan Yu do as she pleased, because Gan Yu didn't use any force at all, so the hits didn't hurt at all, at most it was just a tickle.

Even if Fang Xun did something to anger Gan Yu, she couldn't bear to hit him.

Fang Xun had long since figured out Gan Yu's kind and naive personality.

Fang Xun looked up at the sky and then said, "Let's not plant vegetables tomorrow, let's plant other plants instead?"

"Okay, what should we plant?" Gan Yu nodded without hesitation.

In her opinion, Fang Xun should be in charge of these matters.

Fang Xun pretended to think for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "How about we plant strawberries?"

Gan Yu didn't speak, but under the moonlight, Fang Xun vaguely heard a barely audible "okay".

...

As usual, before starting the new storyline, I'll write a character side story.

I had already finished writing the side story of Gan Yu yesterday, but many readers said the plot was a bit angsty, so what you are seeing now is the revised version.

To be honest, I personally prefer this version of the bonus episode.

Who wouldn't love the charming and innocent Gan Yu?

I'll take a break today, and start writing the Mondstadt arc tomorrow!

Finally, everyone, get some rest early.

Chapter 304 The Future Scout Knight, Amber Comes to Help

Mondstadt, the continent of Teyvat.

Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The crystal-clear wind butterfly slowly rises into the air, flying towards the distant horizon with no end in sight.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the windmill chrysanthemums on the grass to rustle and spin.

The free winds scattered dandelion seeds throughout Mondstadt.

Amidst the rustling of the wind, the occasional song of a bard drifted from afar.

These are the Mondstadt landscapes that Fang Xun and his group have seen over the past few days.
