【happiness】

Su Chen took the coconut and took a gentle sip. The cool sweetness spread in his mouth, and an unprecedented warmth and happiness surged in his heart.

The setting sun began to slowly sink, and the clouds in the sky were dyed a light red. The shadows of Su Chen and Hu Tao were stretched long on the ground and intertwined.

Hu Tao looked at Su Chen quietly, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, it was an expectation for the future and cherishment for the present.

She gently took off the plum blossoms on her hat, placed them on her chest, and then looked deeply in the direction of the Hall of Rebirth.

Under this warm sunset, Hu Tao no longer had any urgency to return home, but only the desire to enjoy this tranquility with Su Chen.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and its afterglow sprinkled on the streets of Liyue, dyeing every stone slab with a layer of warm gold.

Hu Tao stood in front of the door of the Hall of the Dead, her figure stretched out, as if she was bidding a lingering farewell to this world.

"Then I'll leave first, Su Chen." Her voice was light, but it couldn't hide the reluctance in her heart. There was a hint of reluctance in her smile, like the last flower in summer that has not fully bloomed.

Su Chen stood opposite her, the struggle in his heart was just like the bouquet of flowers in his hand that he had never put down.

He smiled slightly, and that smile hid all his tenderness and helplessness. "Well, I'll go back first then."

"But thank you so much, I had a really happy day today." Walnut suddenly turned around, her eyes twinkling with stars, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

“Really…? Actually, me too.” Su Chen recalled every detail of today, from taming ghosts with Hu Tao to spending the night in a coffin together. Every moment was a new and precious memory.

He stopped and responded to Kurumi's smile.

"Then in the future, I say in the future, will you still come out to play with me? Just the two of us." There was a hint of expectation in Hu Tao's voice, which was a vision for the future.

"As long as you are happy, I will accompany you." Su Chen's answer was firm and sincere, and his eyes were full of promise.

"Really... That's good, I feel relieved." Walnut walked gently to the door of the hall, her hand gently stroking the door, as if stroking a precious memory.

"You must remember the oath I made today." She turned around with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

"Uh... no problem." Su Chen's answer was somewhat helpless. He knew what Hu Tao's oath meant - it was trust in him, and also a sweet burden.

"Then I feel relieved. The moon will come out soon. Bye~" Hu Tao's voice gradually faded away with her figure, like a touch of fragrance in the night breeze.

"Well, goodbye." Su Chen waved goodbye, but did not see the deep affection and reluctance in Hu Tao's eyes. She stood there until Su Chen's figure disappeared at the end of the street, until the night swallowed her figure.

Walnut smiled gently, turned around and walked into the door of the Hall of the Dead, silently making a wish in her heart - [We... will meet again tonight.] This is her expectation for the future, and also her cherishment of this newly budding emotion.

Under this warm sunset, her heart was filled with infinite longing for the future.

……

The afterglow of dusk sprinkled on the streets of Liyue, and Su Chen's figure looked a little lonely against the backdrop of the setting sun.

He could not help but quicken his pace, as if he wanted to escape from this sudden loneliness. Walnut's figure had disappeared around the corner, leaving behind only the whispered farewell and a faint scent of flowers echoing in the air.

"Let me tell you, that Su Chen is just lame..." A familiar and slightly exaggerated complaint interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.

He approached the street corner and saw Paimon flapping his little wings and talking to Keqing and Ningguang with a look of grievance on his face.

"Hmm... I see. I thought Su Chen must be very good to you." Keqing stood in front of her stall, with a hint of confusion in her tone.

Su Chen's eyes involuntarily fell on Keqing's stall, and the sign "Keji Flying Beef Offal" stunned him.

[What's going on? Why is Keqing selling beef offal here?] His mind was filled with question marks.

"No way! This Su Chen keeps saying he wants to stew and eat me all day long! From morning till night, it's nothing but persecution! Poor Paimon, I have to stay with such a despicable person, wuwuwu..."

Paimeng's exaggerated performance made Su Chen clench his fists. [This little guy usually eats and drinks a lot, and I give her a full glass of rich Amul from time to time, but now he is slandering me! ]

Just as Su Chen was about to come forward to clarify, Ningguang's voice sounded again: "I don't think Su Chen is what you said. He is just busy making Mora."

"Hey, earning Mora?" There was a hint of surprise in Keqing's voice.

“That’s right. As far as I know, the young man named Su Chen has been completing commissioned tasks non-stop since he arrived in Liyue. Originally, this traveler named Su Chen was supposed to come to say hello to me this afternoon, but I was the one who was stood up.” Ningguang’s tone was filled with helplessness.

"So... this morning, Su Chen suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. Wait, so he went to earn money from Mora? With whom?" Keqing's curiosity was aroused.

Ningguang and Keqing smiled at each other, with a hint of ridicule in Ningguang's eyes: "Who else could it be?"

Su Chen listened from the side, feeling a little embarrassed and helpless. He knew that what Ningguang and Keqing said made sense.

It was indeed because of Hu Tao that he ignored his other appointments today and forgot that he had already written a letter and sent it to Ningguang, saying that he wanted to say hello to her and also prepared a gift for her.

He shook his head and decided to deal with the misunderstanding at hand first.

He walked out of his hiding place and walked towards the three people, ready to explain everything while also being prepared to face possible misunderstandings and jokes.

But in his heart, one thing was certain - today's time with Walnut was worth it.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the hustle and bustle of the streets of Liyue was gradually dying down. But in this quiet corner, a piece of gossip about Su Chen and Hu Tao was quietly spreading.

“Ningguang, what you are referring to is…!” Keqing’s voice was filled with a hint of teasing.

"That's exactly the person you were thinking of." Ningguang said with a hint of pride.

Keqing sighed softly, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips: "Is that so? That's true."

Paimon scratched his head in confusion, "Wait, what are you talking about? Paimon, why am I so confused?"

"That's the young master of the Wangsheng Hall." Ningguang's eyes raised slightly, as if she had noticed something.

"That's right. Xiangling came to me today and said angrily that Su Chen took Hu Tao to Wanmin Hall for dinner, but left without even paying." Keqing added.

Ningguang continued softly, "From what I heard, they were wandering around the market all afternoon today and bought a lot of things."

Paimon blinked his big eyes: "So... are they...?"

“Who knows? However, if Su Chen can give Hu Tao a big surprise in a week, which is her birthday, maybe the two of them can really become good friends.” Ningguang said with a hint of anticipation.

"But this is a good thing. A traveler who has just arrived in Liyue has met the warm-hearted head of the Wangsheng Hall. He can get familiar with Liyue more quickly, which reduces a lot of our diplomatic pressure."

"Jin, the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius in the distant country of Mondstadt, even wrote me a letter asking me to take care of the traveler named Su Chen and another blonde traveler Ying in Liyue."

"But now it seems that I don't need to take extra care of them. They can survive well in Liyue on their own."

After Ningguang finished speaking, she lowered her arms that were blocking her chest. At the collar of her silk gown, Ningguang's pair of snow-white breasts were clearly visible, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

The Ningguang in the real Teyvat continent is not as conservative as in the game. Ningguang's outfit is so sexy!

This is the outfit Ningguang would only wear when she met with old friends. On weekdays, she stayed in the Qun Yu Pavilion and hardly saw anyone, so her clothes were casual.

In formal occasions, she still dresses very strictly. After all, as a Tianquan star, she must maintain her dignity so as not to embarrass Liyue.

[Hu Tao’s birthday? A week later?] Su Chen heard this in the dark, and his heart couldn’t help but move.

He knew he couldn't eavesdrop any longer, so he turned around quickly and hurried away in the direction of Wanmin Hall.

"Su Chen's daily training must also be strengthened. According to the intelligence, although the traveler is quite powerful, the continent of Teyvat is full of crises. After all, he will have the responsibility to protect that girl in the future." There was a hint of seriousness in Keqing's voice.

Ningguang was stunned when she heard this: "Keqing..."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to some beef offal. How about that?" As soon as Keqing finished speaking, she swung her sword and a burst of sword energy surged.

"The sword shines like me, I can chop off all the offal!" As Keqing danced with her sword, lightning intertwined in the air, and the air seemed to be dotted with starlight.

After a while, two bowls of steaming beef offal were brought to Ningguang and Paimeng.

Meanwhile, Su Chen, who was far away, was already planning a surprise for Hu Tao's birthday. He knew that this was not only to respond to Ning Guang's expectations, but also for the unspeakable feelings in his heart.

His pace became faster and faster, as if he had already seen the warm scene that would happen a week later.

……

Chapter 188 Walnut: Tonight, let me immerse myself in this beautiful dream

In a quiet guest room of Wanmin Hall, Su Chen lay on the bed, his hands folded behind his head, his eyes penetrating the dim roof, as if he could touch the distant starry sky. It was late at night, but his thoughts were surging like a tide, unable to calm down.

"Am I really... in love with Kurumi?" He muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty room. He recalled everything he had experienced with Kurumi today. Her smile was like a summer spring, clear and warm.

"But..." Su Chen's heartbeat quickened, his thoughts wavering between reason and emotion, until those warm scenes emerged again, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his body sank into the softness of the bed.

"It turns out that I'm already deeply involved in this." Su Chen finally laughed out loud and accepted his feelings. "Is all this destined? My time travel, my emotions..."

His fingers touched his lips, as if he could still feel the warmth left by Walnut. "In a week, it will be her birthday..." Thinking of this, he felt both expectation and a little pressure in his heart.

"But tonight, let me indulge in these beautiful memories." He closed his eyes, preparing to meet Walnut again in his dream.

However, just as the night was darkest and even the chirping of cicadas disappeared into the silence, a slight sound of a window tilting broke the tranquility.

"Hey, hey..." Accompanied by soft breathing sounds, a slender figure lightly jumped over the windowsill and landed lightly in the room.

“Really…why don’t we just go back to the Hall of Rebirth? Why do you make me run so far…” The female voice contained a hint of coquettish resentment, but was also full of anticipation and curiosity.

If there was moonlight, one could clearly see that the person coming was Walnut. She was wearing a tight black dress that revealed her graceful figure, and the cat-ear hairpins dancing on her hair added a bit of playful charm.

Before Su Chen could fall asleep, he was awakened by the sudden visitor.

He opened his eyes, and the scene before him made his heart beat faster instantly—Hu Walnut appeared in his room just like that.

Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, gave up all his identities at this moment just to elope.

The clothes she wore were simple yet bold, which was both a confession of her feelings and a test of Su Chen.

She approached quietly, the bed's slight creaking accompanying her movements seemed particularly loud in the quiet night.

Her eyes fell on Su Chen's face, and his peaceful sleeping expression made her heart skip a beat.

"Sleeping so soundly, you're really a child." She laughed softly, but her eyes were full of doting. She reached out and gently played with his golden hair, and every touch made her heart beat faster.

Hu Tao carefully squeezed into Su Chen's arms. Her movements were gentle and slow, for fear of waking him up.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him into a warm embrace.

"Although I changed into this dress, you couldn't see it..." She whispered to herself with a helpless smile on her lips.

Her outfit tonight was a reflection of her guess about Su Chen's preferences, and also a bold expression of her own feelings.

She touched her nose to Su Chen's shoulder and took a deep breath of his scent. The familiar and comforting smell brought a light blush to her cheeks.

She hugged him tighter, as if she wanted to take all his warmth for herself.

"Will you forgive me for being so willful?" she thought to herself. She knew that Su Chen's tolerance and gentleness were enough to tolerate all her little willfulness.

"Our warmth is no longer alone..." Her voice was barely audible, but full of happiness and satisfaction. "All this seems to be arranged by fate."

Her thoughts drifted away, recalling every encounter with Su Chen, every heartbeat, every companionship, until he finally accepted her feelings. Her heart was filled with gratitude and contentment, because she knew that every step they took along the way was so inevitable and so beautiful.

With her little face pressed against the not-so-solid back, Kurumi smiled softly.

The first encounter in the wild made her realize friendship.

The sleepless night made her feel satisfied.

The common experience of conquering ghosts taught her how to approach.

A slime attack made her understand the importance of protection.

The warm companionship throughout the day helped her understand herself.

And fortunately, he finally accepted her.

That's enough, isn't it?

On this quiet night, Hu Tao and Su Chen shared the tranquility and warmth, and the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Their hearts are already closely connected, without the need for words or any proof.

At this moment, they are each other's whole world.

It was late at night, the stars were hidden behind the clouds, and there was silence in the guest room.

In this silent space, Hu Tao and Su Chen shared a warm dream. Her figure was as light as a cat, quietly invading his bed, and he was completely unaware, immersed in the sweetness of the dream.

Hu Tao's arms were tightly wrapped around Su Chen, her heartbeat rose and fell with his breathing, as if the two hearts were beating in sync at this moment.

On this quiet night, her thoughts drifted to the distant dream, where there lay the future of the two of them, as poetic and picturesque as it was heart-warmingly beautiful.

The world in their dreams is a fantasy they have woven together. Dewdrops are like lovers’ tears, sparkling with wishes in the morning light; the vast Milky Way entrusts their dreams to the endless night sky; the bamboo boat is light, carrying the years they have walked hand in hand, until they are old and gray.

However, dreams always end, and reality always comes. When the morning light shines through the curtains, Keqing's voice rings like a morning bell, breaking the silence.

"Open the door, Su Chen, we are going to train." Keqing's voice was firm and urgent, waking up the sleeper in the room through the door.

Su Chen opened his eyes drowsily, the afterglow of the dream still lingering in his heart, and his consciousness had not yet completely withdrawn from that sweet dream.

However, a sweet cry, like dewdrops in the morning breeze, broke his confusion.

"Well... be gentle, it's so urgent... well..." Hu Tao's voice was sleepy, but also mixed with a hint of unreal pain.

Su Chen turned his head, his eyes were like being struck by lightning, he saw Hu Tao beside him, she was wearing bold clothes, her skin was as white as snow, her cheeks were stained with the morning glow. His heart beat violently, and for a moment, words became a luxury.
