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

"Yes, that's why I need to sculpt characters to find inspiration."

Fang Xun remained completely calm and composed.

"So, have you found your inspiration?"

"Not yet, maybe I'll get inspiration after a few more tries."

"Okay, okay."

Gan Yu really had no experience in matters of the heart.

She believed everything Fang Xun said.

Silly.

If it were Yae no Miko who heard Fang Xun asking to sculpt faces for inspiration, she would probably just smile and say nothing, then playfully tease the little ones instead.

Looking for inspiration by customizing your character's face? Forget about it.

Mr. Fang Xun, you wouldn't want your child to cry so much, would you?

Therefore, Fang Xun's tactics only work on Gan Yu.

Gan Yu has lived for over a thousand years, yet her face is as smooth and delicate as a child's.

Let alone pinching faces, just looking at them is a very stress-relieving thing.

...

I've been quite busy these past few days, so there will only be one update today and tomorrow. I'll make up for it with another update over the weekend.

Finally, everyone, get some rest early, goodnight.

Chapter 388 When to have Xiao Ganyu

At this time of day, Xiao Qiqi would usually run to Fang Xun's room.

Sometimes I chat with Gan Yu, and sometimes I just quietly watch Fang Xun write his book.

What bad intentions could Xiao Qiqi possibly have? She just hates being alone.

However, today, surprisingly, Qiqi didn't come looking for Fang Xun.

It must have been because Paimon and the Traveler Ying arrived that Qiqi went to chat with Paimon.

Qiqi finds it very interesting to listen to Paimon chattering away in the air.

Although there were many times when Qiqi couldn't understand what Paimon was saying, she still enjoyed it immensely.

Qiqi was happy to have someone to chat with, because that way she wouldn't feel lonely.

Qiqi hates being alone the most.

Thanks to Paimon and the Traveler's arrival, Fang Xun finally had the opportunity to spend time alone with Gan Yu.

Fang Xun closed the light novel he hadn't finished writing and tossed it aside casually.

What rush to meet deadlines? That's not happening.

Two thousand words a day is the limit for human beings.

Regardless of how Yae no Miko would react to the unfinished manuscript,

A true warrior should dare to confront a scoundrel.

"Is the work finished?"

Noticing that Fang Xun had closed the manuscript, Gan Yu asked in a soft voice.

Fang Xun hummed in agreement and nodded slightly: "That's about it. I'll polish the ending a bit more in the next few days, and this light novel will be finished."

"Oh, that's great."

Gan Yu was genuinely happy to hear that Fang Xun's work was nearing completion.

"Gan Yu, let me tell you what happened today?"

"Regarding the temporary stay of the travelers Ying and Paimon."

Gan Yu will definitely find out soon that Ying and Paimon have checked into a hotel.

The difference lies in whether she discovered it herself or Fang Xun told her on his own initiative.

These two are very different.

If Gan Yu had discovered it herself, she would have been surprised at first, and then saddened after realizing it, feeling like she was the one being ignored.

But if Fang Xun were to tell Gan Yu about this on his own initiative, that would be a completely different story.

The message conveyed between the lines is that I care about your feelings and am willing to tell you everything.

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Everyone is asleep now, so my voice might be a little soft."

"I'll move over a bit, otherwise you won't be able to hear me."

As they spoke, Fang Xun moved a chair closer to Gan Yu.

Actually, the room was very soundproof, so there was no need to whisper anything.

After spending a lot of time with Wendy, Fang Xun also learned how to deceive.

Once I sat down next to Gan Yu, the pleasant floral fragrance became even stronger.

Fang Xun reached out and gently pinched Gan Yu's cheek.

Gan Yu raised her head in confusion, her eyes as clear as a fawn's, brimming with youthful brilliance.

This bad guy had already finished his work, so why did he still pinch her face?

Gan Yu couldn't understand.

She felt that everyone's face looked the same, so there was nothing to pinch.

However, the feeling of pinching a face is quite nice; it's a tactile sensation similar to touching a unicorn's horn, which can make your heart race.

She liked Fang Xun pinching her cheeks.

Gan Yu shook her head, trying to stop herself from overthinking, then hugged Fang Xun's arm and listened quietly.

At this moment, Fang Xun continued, "I met Ying in a cave; she was sealed inside a Rubik's Cube..."

Soon, Gan Yu learned about Ying and Paimon from Fang Xun.

One is a traveler searching for relatives.

One is an emergency food that can be consumed in large quantities.

They are looking for a man named Kong in Mondstadt, but they are currently penniless and can only stay at an inn.

"I, I know."

"Ying and Paimon are friends, and they will be living together for a while."

Having worked as a secretary for thousands of years, Gan Yu quickly accepted this information.

Fang Xun nodded: "That's roughly the idea."

"Alright, now that we've finished talking about Ying and Paimon, let's talk about our own business."

"For example, when should we raise a baby named Gan Yu?"

Gan Yu was quite clumsy as a child. He rolled down the mountain, and it was the first time he had ever seen a person hiding in a crevice between rocks.

So, little Gan Yu must be very cute, right?

As soon as she finished speaking, Gan Yu's face flushed red.

"We...we're not married yet..."

She gently clutched the hem of her dress, shyly lowering her eyes.

"Does that mean you'll raise a little Gan Yu after getting married?"

"Understood. I'll go back to Liyue and tell Lord Liuyun about this..."

As Fang Xun spoke, Gan Yu's face grew redder and redder, and in the end, she left the room feeling embarrassed.

Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

The day that was destined to come will eventually come.

...

Early the next morning, Paimon and the Traveler went out to earn Mora.

Both of them still owe Fang Xun a lot of money and have to work to pay it off.

"With Ying's skills, paying off her debts through part-time work would be a piece of cake,"

"I have a feeling we're going to make a ton of Mora today!"

"If we cut back on expenses a bit more, we'll be able to pay off the debt."

Paimon, who was flying in the air, rolled over and looked very confident.

Ying nodded gently, her eyes lighting up with hope.

After hearing Paimon say that, it seemed like paying off the debt wasn't so difficult after all.

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon looked at the passerby walking towards him.

The person was holding breakfast, which looked delicious; the aroma could be smelled from a distance.

Paimon looked down at his rumbling belly, then looked up at the traveler beside him.

"Ying, I'm a little hungry. How about... we grab something to eat first?"

"What's that saying again? Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting."

"We need to eat our fill before we have the energy to work, that's right!"

"But...we don't have any money."

Although Ying thought Paimon's words made a lot of sense—that you won't have the energy to work if you're not well-fed—

But the problem is also obvious: his pockets are empty.
