"An annoying guy..." Zhongli repeated with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Hu Tao's eyes flickered slightly under Zhongli's gaze. It was a complex emotion, with tender memories mixed with anger and regret.
"I see..." Zhongli seemed to understand Hu Tao's feelings. He remembered Su Chen's pleading the day before and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
"A blessing in disguise." Zhongli spoke softly, and each word was like a seed, sown in Hutao's heart.
Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion arose in her heart, but Zhongli did not give her more chance to explain.
"Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not necessarily be the truth." Zhongli's words seemed to contain deep meaning. He shook his head slightly and walked slowly to the other side of the street, leaving Hu Tao alone immersed in his own thoughts.
Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li's receding back, and her confusion became even greater. Her voice echoed in the empty hall of the dead: "I, I still don't understand..."
With the sound of a door closing gently, the Hall of Rebirth returned to its former tranquility, leaving behind only Hu Tao's lonely figure and the uncalmed waves in her heart.

Chapter 191 Walnut and the Summer Sky
At dusk in Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao looked particularly lonely.
Her heart was like the sky on July 15th, covered with clouds and difficult for the sunlight to penetrate.
Her Qiankun Tai Gua hat was pressed heavily on her forehead, as if to resist the invisible sorrow. Her hand gently touched the door of the Hall of Rebirth, hesitant, unwilling to push it open.
Today, her heart was empty, and Su Chen's shadow disappeared without a trace in every corner of Liyue.
She closed her eyes tightly, trying to find the shadow of the blond boy in the dim sky, but to no avail.
Just then, a familiar and long-lost voice sounded behind her, stirring up all her thoughts.
"Walnut!" There was a hint of urgency in the voice, yet it was full of warmth.
Hu Tao's heart beat suddenly. She turned around and saw Su Chen standing there breathlessly, his eyes full of longing and concern for her. At that moment, all the melancholy disappeared in an instant, like the haze dispelled by the sun.
"Su Chen...? Su Chen!" Hu Tao's voice was full of shock and joy. She almost ran towards him. All her doubts and uneasiness vanished at this moment.
The hug between the two was like a long-awaited rain. Hu Tao hugged Su Chen tightly, as if she could hold him and not let him leave. Su Chen's voice was gentle and awkward. He reminded Hu Tao that there were still people watching around.
"No way! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that once I let go, you'll abandon me again!" Hu Tao's voice was tinged with tears, and her arms tightly wrapped around Su Chen, fearing that he would disappear again.
"How could I abandon you? Be good, Hu Tao, let me go first..." There was a hint of helplessness in Su Chen's words, but a warm current surged in his heart.
"Hmph, unless... unless you tell me where you have been for the past three or four days!" Hu Tao's voice was firm. She needed an explanation and needed to know where Su Chen had been during this time.
"I didn't go anywhere... it hurts!" Before Su Chen could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain. He felt like he was stepped on hard. After a long while, Hu Tao let him go, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and grievance.
At that moment, Su Chen realized that he had to give Hu Tao a reasonable explanation, an answer that could calm the waves in her heart...
On the streets of Liyue Harbor, the afterglow of dusk shone on Hu Tao's face, reflecting the conflicts and entanglements in her heart.
A trace of painful memory flashed across her eyes. It was the shadow of Su Chen and Keqing the day before yesterday, like a thorn, deeply piercing her heart.
"Hmph! Liars will never have a good ending!" There was a hint of resentment in Hu Tao's words. Her heart was like a dead leaf swept by the autumn wind, fragile and easily broken.
Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly, his gaze penetrated the light of dusk and fell on Hu Tao, there was an indescribable heartache.
"I'm not lying... Never mind, let's not talk about this for now, or we'll be late." There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if something important was about to happen.
Hu Tao's heart was in turmoil again, and her body began to tremble involuntarily. It was fear, uncertainty, and worry that Su Chen would leave again.
“What’s wrong…? Are you going to abandon me again?” Her voice was choked with sobs. She turned around, not wanting Su Chen to see the tears in her eyes.
Su Chen's eyes were full of sincerity, and his smile was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle.
Hu Tao's heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks were lightly flushed. She lowered her head, avoiding Su Chen's gaze, but her heart was surging. "Then, I'll listen to you..." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but it revealed a hint of expectation.
"Then let's go, otherwise we will be too late." There was a hint of excitement in Su Chen's voice. He held Hu Tao's hand tightly and took her through the crowd, running towards an unknown destination.
In this evening story, Su Chen and Hu Tao's hearts finally began to draw closer. Their hands were tightly clasped, as if they wanted to lock each other's warmth in their hearts forever.
On the outskirts of Liyue, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on a quiet high ground.
Su Chen brought Hu Tao here, as if to share this unique night scene with her. Hu Tao's heartbeat was particularly clear in this quiet night, and her face was glowing from the inside out, illuminated by the moonlight and warmed by her inner emotions.
"Ah! Slow down!" Hu Tao's voice floated in the night wind, with a hint of playful protest.
Su Chen turned around and responded jokingly, "That's not what you said when we were running away from the Qianyan Army!" His words revealed the deep friendship between the two and the countless adventures they had experienced together.
"Hate...!" A blush appeared on Hu Tao's face, and an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart. It was a spring of happiness, flowing quietly in her heart.
They stood on a high ground, and Su Chen pointed to the plains below and the forest in the distance. The lake there sparkled in the moonlight, like a gem inlaid on the earth. Hu Tao's eyes were filled with amazement, the beauty here was beyond her imagination.
"How about it? The scenery of this place I picked is pretty good, right?" Su Chen's voice broke the silence of the night. His eyes were full of anticipation. He hoped that Hu Tao would like this place he carefully selected.
Hu Tao nodded, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere, with a hint of confusion and a touch of sadness in her eyes. She had been to this place in a dream, and in that dream, Su Chen confessed his love to her. The interweaving of reality and dreams made her feel complicated.
Su Chen noticed the strangeness in Hu Tao's eyes. He walked gently to her side, trying to dispel the haze in her heart with his warmth. "Right!" He suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked behind the tree. After a while, he came back with a strangely shaped object.
"Hey..." His movements were a little clumsy, but the smile on his face revealed his intentions.
He put down the object, which was a carefully crafted lantern. He lit the lantern, and the warm light danced in the night, adding a touch of warmth and romance to this special night.
Walnut was stunned by this sudden surprise, and then a bright smile bloomed on her face. In this night lit by moonlight and lanterns, all the anxiety and doubts were melted away by this warmth and care.
She finally understood that no matter how the dream changed, the person in front of her and the feelings he gave her were the most real.
In the outskirts of Liyue, the night sky was like a deep satin, spreading over their heads. Su Chen and Hu Tao stood on a quiet high ground, surrounded by the quiet night and the sparse outline of the forest in the distance. Su Chen was busy, holding a strange object in his hand - an astronomical telescope, which was a treasure he brought from another world.
Walnut's eyes fell on the pure white tube, which was supported steadily by three slender brackets. The circular button of the telescope was busy turning under Su Chen's hand. "What is this...?" She asked, with curiosity and a hint of uneasiness in her voice, because her heart was still hanging, and she felt an inexplicable tension about Su Chen's sudden appearance and this unknown object.
Su Chen did not answer immediately, his attention was focused on adjusting the focus of the telescope. Finally, he stopped what he was doing and turned to Hu Tao, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Ah... this? This is an astronomical telescope." There was a childlike pride in his voice.
Walnut frowned, "Astronomical telescope? What is that?" Her voice was full of confusion. This term was unfamiliar in her world.
Su Chen realized his mistake. The world they lived in did not recognize this advanced instrument.
He bought this from the universal System Ji store so that he could spend an unforgettable and wonderful night with Walnut on this special day.
"Uh... you can think of it as looking at the stars." He tried to explain it in simple words, then waved to Walnut, "Walnut, come here."
As Hu Tao approached, her heartbeat quickened, wondering what Suchen was going to show her. "Um... what is this for?" she asked, with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
"Look at the stars." Su Chen's voice was full of expectation. He adjusted the angle of the telescope and then looked down at the eyepiece. But soon, his expression became confused, "Wait, where is the Pegasus star map... Why can't I see it? Why can't there be even a star image... Strange, is this the universe?" The Pegasus star map he expected did not appear in his field of vision.
Hu Tao looked at Su Chen's expression and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but also an indescribable expectation. She knew that Su Chen could always bring her surprises.
Su Chen stood up and turned around, with a hint of apology and confusion in his eyes. But he quickly adjusted his mood and gave Hu Tao a gentle smile, "It doesn't matter. Although we can't see the stars, we can feel them with our hearts. Come, I will teach you how to feel the night sky with your heart."
He gently took Hu Tao's hand and taught her how to use the telescope. Under his guidance, Hu Tao carefully moved closer to the eyepiece, her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and then a sea of stars came into her sight.
At that moment, her heart seemed to be lit up by countless stars, and all her doubts and anxieties disappeared in the bright starlight.
"Su Chen... this is so beautiful." Hu Tao's voice was trembling, but more of it was shock and gratitude. She turned her head and looked at Su Chen, her eyes full of curiosity about this world and gratitude towards him.
Su Chen just smiled. He knew that this night and this starry sky would become an eternal memory in both of their hearts.

Chapter 192 The night sky is vast and the stars are shining
Under the night sky of Liyue, Su Chen and Hu Tao stood on a hidden high ground, and everything around them was immersed in tranquility. The astronomical telescope in Su Chen's hand, this mysterious artifact from another world, was becoming a bridge between the two, connecting the unknown starry sky and this ancient land.
"Su Chen, what are you doing?" There was a hint of confusion and curiosity in Hu Tao's voice. She looked at Su Chen's busy figure, and an inexplicable expectation surged in her heart.
"Do it. Let me demonstrate... Come and see for yourself. It's very beautiful." There was a hint of nervousness in Su Chen's voice. He knew that this plan was a bit risky, but if successful, he would be able to bring Hu Tao an unforgettable night.
Hu Tao gently held the telescope. Her movements were a little hesitant, but under Su Chen's encouraging gaze, she finally lowered her body and put her eyes close to the eyepiece. The next moment, a gleam of surprise flashed in her eyes, "What, what is this...?!"
Su Chen asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?!" He was worried that there was something wrong with the telescope or that he had adjusted it incorrectly.
"No, nothing...it's just...so beautiful..." Kurumi's voice was low and a little shocked.
"Beautiful?" Su Chen was shocked. He saw nothing but a deep darkness. He asked in confusion, "Hu Tao, did you see anything?"
"I saw... one star after another... it seemed like, just like a butterfly!" Hu Tao's voice was full of excitement. The starry sky she saw was completely different from what Su Chen knew.
In Walnut's eyes, the stars seemed to weave into gorgeous patterns. They were no longer isolated points of light, but gathered into a flowing galaxy, dancing, and finally condensed into a dancing butterfly.
"Butterfly? Wait... It seems that it was mentioned in the game that Hu Tao's constellation is Butterfly... Could it be possible?" A bold guess arose in Su Chen's mind. He looked up at the starry sky. Although he could not see the wonders described by Hu Tao, he could feel the magic and beauty.
"So beautiful..." Hu Tao's voice was like a dream talk. She raised her head from the telescope, her face filled with pure joy.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Su Chen asked, with anticipation in his voice.
"It's beautiful!" Walnut answered firmly and enthusiastically without any hesitation. She turned around and looked up at the mysterious starry sky again, as if those stars were within her reach.
At that moment, Su Chen knew that the starry sky they shared would become the most precious memory in their hearts, a beautiful legend about stars and butterflies.
Under the night sky of Liyue, the stars are like a weave, and the figures of Su Chen and Hu Tao appear particularly warm in the hazy moonlight. Next to the telescope, the conversation between the two is like a whisper in the night wind, gentle and affectionate.
"Ah, yes...it's really beautiful, whether it's true or not..." Su Chen's voice sounded particularly steady in the night, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to penetrate the boundless universe.
"The reason why I show you this different starry sky today is just to tell you..." Su Chen's words stopped abruptly, as if there was some deep meaning.
Hu Tao turned around, her eyes full of confusion, but then she was deeply attracted by Su Chen's next words.
"If every deceased person can turn into a star in the sky, guarding the person he misses day and night, I only hope that after I am gone, I can become the brightest one in your heart." There was a gentle firmness in Su Chen's voice, as if his oath would be eternal with the starry sky.
A warm feeling surged in Kurumi's heart and tears glistened in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
"But even if not, I will always protect you, just like that star, Hu Tao, look." Su Chen pointed to the brightest star in the night sky. That was the secret between them and his eternal waiting for her.
Hu Tao looked up at the star, which was shining brightly in the night sky. Just as Su Chen said, it was so bright and warm, as if it could illuminate all her nights.
"So please share some of your burdens with me, just like you were the person you relied on when you were a child." Su Chen's words were gentle but firm, his eyes full of promise.
Hu Tao's heart was deeply touched. She knew what Su Chen meant. Ever since she was pushed to the position of the head of the Wangsheng Hall when she was young, she has been carrying a heavy responsibility. Only she knows the invisible pressure from the outside world and the loneliness in the dead of night.
She is the head of the Wangsheng Hall and Walnut of the Qianyan Army, but at this moment, she just wants to be an ordinary girl, relying on Su Chen and feeling the warmth and protection he gives her.
The night sky was still vast and the stars were still bright, but for Walnut, the starry sky tonight was more beautiful than ever before, because she knew that under this starry sky, there was someone who was willing to share everything with her.
In the night of Liyue, the stars were like scattered pearls, scattering on the quiet sky. In this interweaving of light and shadow, the figures of Su Chen and Hu Tao seemed to be tinged with a layer of mystery.
"And it is impossible for a person to empathize with another person." Su Chen's words drifted gently in the night wind. His eyes were deep, as if telling an eternal truth.
Walnut listened silently, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She knew that no matter how close two people were, there was always a distance that could not be crossed.
"Where did you hear about my past..." Hu Tao's voice trembled slightly. Her past was a forbidden area for her.
Su Chen was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. In front of him, Hu Tao was gently wiping away the tears from her eyes with her hands, but a smile that he had never seen before appeared on the corner of her mouth. That smile was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and contradictory.
"...Next time you want to hear this, I can tell you about it...Why, why do you have to tell me now?" There was a hint of blame in Hu Tao's voice, but more of helplessness.
"Hu Tao, I..." Su Chen's words were interrupted by Hu Tao's next words.
"Because if that happens... I'll just feel scared..." There was a deep fear in Kurumi's eyes.
Su Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Tao to feel this way.
"I'm scared. There's someone in this world who knows me so well, but he can't be with me... Really, you..." Hu Tao's voice became lower and lower. She walked towards Su Chen, gently hugged his neck with both hands, raised her toes slightly, and whispered in Su Chen's ear: "Stupid, idiot."
Su Chen's heartbeat quickened as he felt Hu Tao's warmth and dependence. He gently stroked Hu Tao's long hair, his heart filled with tenderness and love.
"Kurobuta..." he called softly, but Kurumi's index finger had already gently placed on his lips.
"Well... don't talk for now, let me hug you, you heart-stealing thief." Hu Tao's voice was full of doting, and she hugged Su Chen again.
In this hug, Su Chen felt the frequency of Hu Tao's heartbeat, which was synchronized with his heartbeat and beat together. His heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
"Kurobuta..." he called softly again, but this time, there was a hint of teasing in his voice.
Hu Tao loosened her embrace slightly, her eyes full of anticipation and desire. She tiptoed lightly, and just as she was about to place a light kiss on Su Chen's lips, she was gently blocked by Su Chen's index finger.
"Wait, we still have a big show to go." There was a mischievous light in Su Chen's eyes and a hint of anticipation in his voice.
A hint of surprise also flashed in Hu Tao's eyes. She knew that Su Chen could always bring her unexpected surprises.
……
Chapter 193 Kurumi's Birthday Fireworks Party
Under the night sky of Liyue Harbor, an unprecedented miracle was about to take place. Su Chen's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and his fingers flicked lightly, seeming to stir up an invisible wave in the silent night.
"Now, come and see with me, this... fireworks feast prepared just for you." His voice was low and full of magic. He gently held Walnut in his arms, and both of them looked towards the long-awaited open space.
In the distance, a figure loomed, her existence seemed incompatible with this world, but she was the master of this night. She was Ningguang, the Tianquan Star that everyone in Liyue Harbor knew.
