Grandma Ping pointed at the half-drooping glass lilies. They seemed to be feeling someone's mood and were no longer as beautiful as before.
"Since then, I have always wondered, if I had been less angry with her and communicated with her more, would my mood now be completely different?"
She gently brushed the petals of the glass lilies, watching them dance in the wind, and her tone became even gentler.
"Ganyu, human hearts are like flowers, always changing. They may bloom, close, or wither, but at any moment, they belong to themselves.
Only the viewer will give it different ideas due to his own state of mind——"
"You mean...?"
“Sometimes it’s better to become a flower and bloom yourself than to worry about it, right?”
"But I..."
"Haha. Well, give yourself more confidence and worry less, then you will find that things are not as complicated as you think."
She gently patted Ganyu's head with her hand that was scented with flowers, and Grandma Ping's previously hunched body straightened up a little.
"Go ahead. Even if it starts with a seed breaking through the soil, it must first sprout before it can bloom in your heart."
"Ah, yes...thank you for your teaching..."
Like a sheep driven out of its comfort zone, Ganyu walked out, covering her little head with her hands.
After listening to Grandma Ping's explanation for a long time, I didn't quite understand it and it made me hungry. But I decided to give it a try.
After her figure left, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go down.
"You kid, you came back and instead of saying hello, you acted like a traitor?"
Yan Fei was so scared that she fell down on her butt. Although it hurt, she quickly looked outside the house and scanned left and right like a thief. When she found that no one heard it, she covered her butt with relief and walked pitifully to Grandma Ping.
"Oh, Grandma Ping, you scared me to death! There is no such thing as a thief here. I am your sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"
However, before she could continue, Grandma Ping tapped her on the head, causing Yan Fei to cry out "Wow".
"You learned some sweet talk outside, and now you want to deceive grandma when you come back?"
"Hey, I can't tell you this. If my old man hears it, he will definitely chase me with a feather duster and beat me!"
"How old are you, girl? How could he bear to do that? Besides, you haven't answered grandma's question yet."
Grandma Ping laughed amusedly and handed the kettle to her, and Yan Fei hurriedly took it and put it away carefully.
"I saw you scolding Senior Ganyu, so I didn't want to interrupt you. It was also the first time I saw her so troubled, so I secretly listened in~"
After putting down her things, Yan Fei quickly came behind Grandma Ping and massaged her shoulders and back, looking like a good little boy.
"Did you hear any clues?"
Faced with the trap set by Grandma Ping, waiting for her to jump into it, Yan Fei kept shaking her head.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"You are quite alert. Are you afraid that grandma will assign you something to do?"
"How can that be possible? Grandma Ping, just one word and tell me to go east, never west. If I eat sweet tofu pudding, I will never touch salty tofu pudding!"
"Haha. If it were you normally, you would probably order both and eat both, right?"
Grandma Ping happily accepted Yan Fei's service. This child had grown up under her care, and she would often stay overnight and have meals here. As time went by, although the two of them were not related by blood, they were more like family. So how could she not know the little tricks in Yan Fei's mind?
"Grandma, that's brilliant!"
Yan Fei gave a thumbs up, and Hou Xu looked at her.
"Okay. Since you want to do this, grandma won't stop you, but you can't say anything to the child that he can't understand. Got it?"
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Yan Fei cheered immediately and ran out, leaving Grandma Ping sitting in the house. She looked at the desolate room helplessly and sighed.
"Alas... you have become a big kid now, it's better to be busy."
Before Grandma Ping could get up, Yan Fei, who had just run away, came back and poked her little head out at the door.
"Oh, by the way! Grandma Ping, I'm going to stay here for dinner tonight, so remember to save my bowl and chopsticks!"
"well--"
Chapter 48 It’s not where you are, but with whom you are
"Hmm, buy some of this salty flavor, and some of this sweet flavor, so that Master Liuyunjiefeng can eat them alternately without getting tired of them."
Inside the pastry shop, Yun Chang was happily selecting gifts as an apology.
As a famous immortal recorded in Liyue's history, if someone is willing to take me as a disciple, I have to accept this favor regardless of whether I accept it or not.
You need to be very careful in managing your interpersonal relationships, and sometimes not offending others is an art.
Yun Shang, who had lived through two lifetimes, understood the truth very well, otherwise she would not have found an excuse to pull Miss Shen He out.
However, now she seems a little depressed.
"Not knowing what her master likes is a big blow to her..."
The girl whispered in her heart, but this was not something that was incomprehensible.
Living on the fairy peak from childhood to adulthood not only isolated Shen He from worldly knowledge, but also made her rarely understand anything other than spiritual practice.
It is impossible for an elder like Master Liuyun Jiefeng to lower himself to tell his disciple what he likes to eat.
This led to Shen He staring at the dazzling array of pastries when he came here, and he even showed a flash of panic when he was asked for his opinion.
If Yunchang hadn't suggested that they each choose some cakes separately and then meet up at checkout to see whose cakes suited Master Liuyunjiefeng's taste the most, Miss Shenhe would have considered robbing the store and taking all the cakes back to have the chef choose them personally.
After all, this is the simplest and most logical approach for her.
Now she was simply stumped by Yun Shang who asked the question, and couldn't recover for a while.
When she finds that she can't think of anything, it's time to use force again.
So, we must hurry up and decide the outcome!
"Ms. Shen He, have you made your choice?"
"Ah...I've chosen one too..."
Perhaps because she was feeling disheartened, Miss Shen He lost her previous calm demeanor and looked a little helpless.
"Then let's go to the counter to pay the bill. Miss Shen He has come from afar this time, so I will be the one to treat you."
The girl took the cake she finally chose with a smile, a box of Cui Jue mung bean cake, which is the shop's signature dish.
Isn't this a good choice? Maybe if Master Liuyunjiefeng eats it, it will give him some sentimental points.
It’s a pity that Miss Shen He didn’t think so much about it. She simply picked up the one that was closest and pleasing to her eye.
After settling the bill with the store, Yun Shang left with the old shopkeeper looking hesitant to speak. She once again held Shen He's hand, and as for the packaged gift box of pastries, it was natural for him to take it.
"Ms. Shen He seems a little unhappy. Is it because you are not used to the hustle and bustle of Liyue?"
Yun Shang carefully avoided the crowd while attentively checking the condition of the person behind her.
She still had that half-dejected expression, making it unclear whether it was because she didn't pick out the cakes she liked, or if she simply didn't like the hustle and bustle of Liyue's worldly life.
"...Maybe so."
Shen He could sense the girl's thoughtfulness, and he also knew that her fate was a luxury, so he particularly hoped to pull her into his side of the world.
However, this friendship should not be sustained by one party's concession. Even she knows that forced melons are not sweet.
After all, it was clear from the fact that the girl still called herself so distantly...
She still has attachment to Liyue and her current companions, just as she has long been accustomed to the company of mountains, rivers, birds and beasts. If she unilaterally and forcibly tie them up the mountain, it will only destroy this hard-earned friendship.
After taking a deep breath, Shen He also looked at Yun Shang and whispered.
"What about Miss Yunshang? Do you prefer the lights of the human world or the moonlight of the mountains and forests?"
As she finished her words, the girl holding her hand in front of her suddenly stopped. Their stopping attracted the attention of the crowd, but no one stopped.
Shen He could feel that this moment was important, but he couldn't tell why.
Yun Shang in front also smiled again after a brief silence.
"If you prefer the latter, it will surely please Miss Shen He more, right?"
"... You don't have to force yourself for me. If you and I are really not destined to be together, even the master will not force you to stay. This is the fate that those who practice immortal arts must face."
Shen He rarely said a few more words, as if to show her seriousness, she held Yun Shang's hand tightly.
"It's just a coincidence or something... Haha, this statement reminds me of Sister Ganyu."
The girl seemed to recall something and laughed like a silver bell.
"…Am I very similar to her?"
Talking about Ganyu, Shen He actually felt that she was very different from the impression he had in his mind. He didn't think that he and the other person were the same person, so why was he being teased like this?
"I don't look like her, but when it comes to the things I cherish...ah, am I being too conceited when I say that? I should say that when it comes to topics that I'm serious about, I tend to show a very negative side."
Looking at the somewhat puzzled Shen He, Yun Shang stood on tiptoe and gently rubbed the top of her head with her free hand.
The hair is very soft and feels like touching frost. Is it because the spirit is automatically protecting its master?
"Hmm..." Shen He's originally cold face turned a little shy, "This is something only a master can do..."
"But Miss Shen He didn't avoid it. Is it because she felt very comfortable?"
"It has nothing to do with that, it's just..."
I just don’t want to make you sad.
But it was impossible to say this.
"So, it's because you like getting along with others like this, right? I'm the same way!"
Shen He's figure was reflected in the girl's eyes, and the smile on her lips became even gentler.
"I have always believed that who you are with is more important than where you are. I think this is the reason why people don't travel with people they don't love."
"Love, love or something... ugh!"
Shen He was completely embarrassed at the moment. Would his junior sister really not feel shy at all when her feelings were revealed in public, especially when there were so many people around?
No, you can see that the girl's cheeks are also blushing, so... could what she said be true?
"So, if you ask me, the lights of the world with someone by my side will make me feel warmer. Even if it's the cold moonlight in the forest, if someone is by my side, I will only feel harmonious and reunited, right?"
No one has ever said such words to Shen He.
After all, she lost her mother at the age of five, and was sent into a cave by her own father at the age of seven, where she almost died at the hands of evil spirits. When she grew up and returned to her hometown, she found that her father had already died, and she had not even seen him for the last time. Now she can no longer remember her parents' faces or her childhood memories.
During the days on the top of Qingyun Peak, the moon seemed to remain unchanged every night, always so lonely and desolate.
Because of this, she especially hopes that...what the girl said is true, people may be just longing for companionship.
"Then, are you willing to be with me--" Before Shen He finished speaking, the girl gently touched her lips with her finger, "You can only ask foul questions like this when we are closer, Miss Shen He."
"..."
After more than ten years of seclusion, except for the day she returned home when the dust in her heart was wiped away, today is the only day that makes her most excited.
"Well, let's go. It's time to go home--"
"it is good..."
The hands held by the two seemed to be getting closer, and a strange feeling was growing little by little, until -
In front of the two people walking hand in hand, Ganyu appeared, sitting on the doorstep waiting for the girl to return home.
She hugged her knees with her hands, looking lonely, until she saw the two of them appearing hand in hand. Her eyes seemed to be filled with confusion and astonishment, and she felt so humble and insignificant at that moment.
Chapter 49 Five Things We Want to Do Together
"——Please have some tea. I just bought some cakes here. I wonder if they suit Ganyu's taste."
Yun Chang tucked the tea tray under her armpit, and her eyes could not help but fall on the girl with black and red unicorn horns.
"...Thanks."
Ganyu simply bowed her head in thanks, looking dejected, as if she was still obsessed with what had happened before.
