Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

She changed into the white and yellow dress, the silk clinging to her body and light, the golden floral pattern on the hem like blooming glass lilies, and the neckline and cuffs adorned with gold trim.

Of course, the most eye-catching part was the hem of the skirt that revealed her fair and tender thighs; her slender leg lines were particularly striking under the light.

Combined with Ningguang's shy expression, it's simply amazing!

Ningguang lowered her head, her face flushed, and awkwardly tugged at her skirt with both hands. She had never worn such a daring outfit before.

"Sure enough, Ningguang looks much better in this outfit."

Buyer nodded, very satisfied with Ningguang's current state.

Ningguang's ragged appearance just now completely failed to showcase her beauty.

Although she is still just a child, perhaps people on the continent of Teyvat are more precocious, and one can already see a hint of the beautiful curves of the future in Ningguang's body.

Ye Hai waved and said with a smile, "Little Ningguang, come here."

Ningguang hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Ye Hai with her bare, white feet.

There was a hint of unease in her eyes, and she was twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands.

Ye Hai picked her up and sat her on the sofa. Ning Guang was caught off guard. Her petite body was steadily supported by him, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Her small hands frantically grabbed his sleeve.

Ye Hai chuckled softly and summoned the wind element. A gentle breeze surrounded Ningguang's damp hair, slowly drying it.

Ningguang sat in his lap, her wet hair gently caressed by the wind, the soft strands brushing against her cheeks. Her shyness gradually subsided, but she began to steal glances at Ye Hai with a strange look in her eyes.

Ye Hai's current actions reminded Ning Guang of her childhood, when her mother would dry her hair with a dry towel.

Unfortunately.

Ningguang never experienced that feeling again.

But today, she actually felt that tenderness from a man.

When the wind stopped, Ningguang's hair was dry and smooth. Ye Hai looked down at her bare feet, picked up her soft white toes, and said thoughtfully, "We need to wear a pair of shoes, otherwise this outfit will be a bit lacking."

Ningguang shrank back shyly as he grabbed her foot, unable to break free.

Ok.

Ningguang can basically confirm one thing.

Ye Hai is not a human trafficker.

But there's a very high chance he's a pervert who likes little girls!

However, since her parents passed away, Ye Hai was the first person to be so considerate to her. Ning Guang was momentarily reluctant to break free from that warm embrace.

……

A few days later.

"Miss Gan Yu, it's been a long time."

Gan Yu, who was filling out a report with her head down, looked up after hearing the greeting.

A man, holding the hand of a little girl.

The man looked somewhat familiar.

Gan Yu frowned slightly and recalled for a moment, then finally found the matching person in a corner of her memory. She said with some surprise, "Mr. Ye Hai, I didn't expect that we would meet again after more than four hundred years."

"I thought you had already..."

Gan Yu is a hybrid of a human and a mythical beast called "Qilin," making her a semi-immortal with an incredibly long lifespan compared to ordinary people.

Over thousands of years, Gan Yu has witnessed the passing of one familiar person after another, to the point that she has become somewhat accustomed to it.

After Ye Hai left that year, she never saw him again and assumed that he was like everyone else.

They faded away over the long course of time.

"More than four hundred years?"

Ningguang, standing to the side, looked at Ye Hai with surprise. These past few days, Ye Hai had been taking her around Liyue.

Ostensibly, it was a market research trip, but in reality, it involved eating, drinking, and building rapport with Ningguang.

But Ye Hai never told Ning Guang that he had lived from four hundred years ago to the present.

So Mr. Ye Hai is an immortal...?

Ningguang pondered to herself.

In Liyue, apart from the Geo Archon and the Grand Monarch, only immortals or semi-immortals like Gan Yu can have such long lifespans.

Since Ye Hai did not possess any characteristics of other bloodlines, Ning Guang naturally guessed that he was an immortal.

"Hehe, it hasn't actually been that long."

Ye Hai smiled. For him, it had only been a few days since he last parted ways with Gan Yu.

"is it?"

Gan Yu blinked. She had only lived for three or four thousand years, so four hundred years was a long time for her.

However, the longer one lives, the smaller the proportion of time spent in a person's life becomes. Perhaps Mr. Ye Hai in front of us has lived for a very long time.

In that case, four hundred years might seem like a very short time for him.

"So, Mr. Ye Hai, is there something you need from me today?"

Gan Yu asked, feeling that Ye Hai must have something to say to her.

After all, the last time he sought her out was for the Dust Song Pot, and this time, more than four hundred years later, the two met again.

Gan Yu couldn't believe that Ye Hai was there just to chat.

"Well... to be honest, both times I came to you I had something to ask for, which really makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Ye Hai scratched his face and said.

"Mr. Ye Hai, there's no need to be so formal. Your idea of ​​using work as a form of relief last time was a great help to Liyue."

"Moreover, over the years, we have used the method you provided to solve many of Liyue's thorny problems."

"You have done us Liyue a great favor."

"So please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help from us."

Gan Yu said with a serious expression.

"It wasn't that much help, was it?"

Ye Hai blushed a little at what Gan Yu said. He felt that he hadn't done much, he had only offered a suggestion.

"But since you've already said so, then I'll tell you."

"Actually, I came here this time to ask you to help look after Ningguang."

As he spoke, Ye Hai rubbed Ning Guang's head; her white hair was very smooth.

"Ningguang? You mean this child?"

Gan Yu turned her gaze to Ning Guang.

"Yes, I may be leaving Liyue for a while in the future, and it might not be convenient for this child to come with me."

Ye Hai said.

He had actually considered bringing Ningguang with him, but after thinking it over carefully, he gave up on the idea.

If Ningguang weren't in Liyue, she probably wouldn't have been able to grow into the mature and wise Tianquan she once was.

Are you leaving Liyue?

Before Gan Yu could answer after Ye Hai spoke, Ning Guang nervously grabbed Ye Hai's sleeve.

Over the past few days, Ningguang has once again felt the warmth of being cared for, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

But now she's suddenly being told that this warmth is leaving.

How could she possibly bear this?

Ye Hai smiled at Ning Guang, who looked nervous, and reached out to stroke her soft hair to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a little thing. I'll be back later."

He had a premonition that it was time for him to be transported back to his own time.

Therefore, we need to make some arrangements for Ningguang in advance.

"How long is 'later'?"

Ningguang asked.

"..."

Ye Hai was stunned for a moment. As expected of Ning Guang, her clever little brain immediately noticed the problem in Ye Hai's words.

Since four hundred years is not a long time for Ye Hai, it's hard to say how long "later" will be for Ye Hai.

"About...more than ten years?"

Ye Hai scratched his head and estimated for a moment before speaking.

Ningguang's face turned pale instantly. She gripped Ye Hai's clothes tighter, and her eyes welled up with tears: "More than ten years? Then...then I've grown up! Big brother, will you really come back?"

Ningguang is not even ten years old yet, and now Ye Hai says they will be separated for more than ten years.

This is beyond Ningguang's acceptable range.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Ye Hai's heart softened. He squatted down and hugged her, saying, "Silly girl, of course I'll come back. My investment can't go to waste. When you grow up and become a great businessman, I'll have to come back for a share of the profits."

He gently patted her back to comfort her, but Ningguang's tears still fell and dripped onto Ye Hai's shoulder.

"Is this so..."

Ningguang murmured.

Yes, investments need to yield returns.

But Ye Hai's investment in her wasn't just Mora, it also included...

Ningguang recalled the large hands that always caressed her delicate calves and feet. Although she was shy at first, she found herself getting used to it if Ye Hai didn't do it.

Ye Hai's hands and embrace were very warm.

So much so that now every time they eat, Ningguang will climb into Ye Hai's lap and sit down.

Ye Hai likes pretty little girls.

This is a conclusion recently reached by Ningguang.

Otherwise, why would Ye Hai have put down Sister Buyer in the Cave Heaven Pot and spent all his time with her these past few days?

But what if more than ten years have passed, and I've grown up?

What should we do then?

Ningguang was caught in a dilemma.

This is actually Ningguang overthinking things.

Ye Hai is very loving; he loves all beautiful things, regardless of age.

Seeing that the two were silent, Gan Yu finally spoke up, "It's not a problem to look after her."

"It's just that I've never had any experience taking care of people, so I might not be thorough enough."

Gan Yu was somewhat troubled. She often dozed off when she was doing things herself, so she really had no experience taking care of children.

She was very willing to help Ye Hai, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of him and would let him down.

"Don't worry, Ningguang is very powerful, you know. Who knows, she might even turn around and help you out."
