Reading poems from Teyvat

Although he soon stopped being happy.

Because in the middle of the night, when he was half asleep and half awake, Shen He called him.

Shen Zhigui really didn't want to make noise in the middle of the night and disturb other people's sleep, so he wanted to reject her, but then he remembered that he had already promised the other party, and he couldn't just say it and then deny it, right?

So he had no choice but to walk out of the hotel and find a secluded place, which was actually on the city wall of Mond, and he began to play in the chilly late spring night breeze, facing the Fruit Wine Lake sparkling in the moonlight.

As early as when Shen Zhigui first started practicing martial arts and cultivating his true qi, his body was already not afraid of severe cold, not to mention that he had now cultivated "Nanshan Dawn Snow Jade Rocks" to a minor level of success, so in fact, even if he was buried in ice and snow, he would probably be able to sleep directly without any harm -

Of course, if he had a choice, he would definitely choose to sleep in bed.

But Shen He never gave him the chance to go back to sleep.

So he could only sit there and blew in the wind all night.

When the sky in the east gradually brightened, Shen He finally let Shen Zhigui go. Shen Zhigui finally felt relieved. He thought that Shen He's condition was even more serious than when he stayed up late to play games online. The game didn't seem to mention that she was so obsessed with music. Did something happen that she didn't know about? Or could the music in this world really cultivate a person's sentiments and make her fate shift unconsciously? So what was the opportunity? Was it the piece that Wendy played at the beginning?

As Shen Zhigui was thinking, he wanted to jump off the city wall, but he heard a cold female voice not far away: "You have been playing the flute all night without sleeping, and it's the same melody over and over again. Are you really just a mere bard?"

Shen Zhigui turned around and saw a woman with short dark red hair lazily leaning there. She was wearing an incongruous nun's outfit and a dark red headscarf. In the dim light of dawn, one might even mistake her for long hair. In front of her, the white clothes tightly wrapped around her beautiful curves, but behind her, a large area of ​​skin was exposed. Under the dark red skirt, the tight fishnet stockings perfectly showed off her agile legs.

"Sister Rosalia of the West Wind Church."

She took out a cigarette from somewhere - probably from the Eye of God - and put it in her mouth, lit it, took a deep puff, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and then said, "Your behavior is quite suspicious. I have reason to suspect that you are a dangerous person who will endanger the safety of Mondstadt. After all, this is a sensitive period. I hope you can cooperate with me in the investigation. Otherwise, I don't mind using some extraordinary means. What do you think?"

Even though Shen Zhigui actually wanted to fight with her.

After all, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like someone who can easily approve of others.

But Shen Zhigui had been exposed to the wind all night last night - whether actively or passively, so he didn't have much thought in his mind now and just nodded.

Chapter 72: Flowers Fall and Water Flows (Part 2)

The Wind Flower Festival is indeed a sensitive period.

In addition, Mond’s current situation is really not reassuring.

Therefore, Shen Zhigui also understood the other party's responsibilities. After all, if he was in charge of Mondstadt's security, he would think that someone was transmitting intelligence when he saw someone sitting on the edge of the city wall playing the same song over and over again late at night. So Shen Zhigui was also cooperative. When Rosaria heard that he claimed to be an advisor of Liyue Yuhengxing, she immediately raised her eyes in surprise and asked:

"Any proof?"

It must be said that Mondstadt's immigration control is not as complete as Liyue Harbor's. Although it may also be that the current Knights of Favonius cannot spare any manpower to do this kind of work, so Shen Zhigui did not have any documents issued by the Knights of Favonius. So when he heard Rosalia's question, he said, "Do you know Lord Yuhengxing?"

Rosalia shook her head.

"Then the Knights of Favonius's scout knight Amber, librarian Lisa, and captain Jean can testify."

Maybe the guards that day could attest to that.

But Shen Zhigui didn't know them.

So he mentioned the names of those people.

"Tsk, trouble."

Rosalia spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth in disgust, extinguished the spark with her high heels that looked inconvenient to move in no matter how you looked at them, and glanced at the boy standing in front of her.

Although she didn't want to work overtime anyway.

But if what he said was true, there was no need for him to use this method to pass on information. As an entourage of the Liyue envoy, he already enjoyed a certain degree of diplomatic immunity.

As long as he can prove himself.

So no matter how suspicious she was, in this situation, she could either believe what he said, or go with him to the Knights of Favonius and find the people he mentioned to testify, or she could follow him and conduct a follow-up investigation.

But we cannot use any extreme measures now.

So the rebellious nun of the West Wind Church finally just let out a gloomy breath, stared at him, and said: "Then go to the Knights of West Wind."

Shen Zhigui had no objection, but just said as he walked: "Speaking of which, why are the nuns of the West Wind Church in charge of this work instead of the Knights of West Wind?"

"This is Mond's secret. I cannot comment."

“But if, I mean if, I am found out to be a fake Liyue envoy, what will you do?”

Shen Zhigui's question was quite tricky and strange.

Rosalia had never thought about this question, and was stunned:

After all, under normal circumstances, she would resolve the issue face to face, rather than making a fuss like Shen Zhigui, where she had to go to the Knights of Favonius to collect evidence before taking further action. And if someone really did impersonate a foreign envoy at that time, the Knights of Favonius obviously would not allow her to continue handling the matter. It would be rather strange for her, a nun of the Church of Favonius - albeit an affiliated one - to go to the Knights of Favonius to handle matters.

So Rosalia couldn't help but look at the boy gloomily:

"So you're the best."

Shen Zhigui just turned the flute in his hand casually without saying anything.

However, the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius is on the west side of Mondstadt, and the two men came down from the east city wall, so if they want to go to the Knights of Favonius, they have to cross most of the streets of Mondstadt. This is what the rebellious nun of the Church of Favonius finds troublesome. It will probably take a lot of time for the two men to get there.

Moreover, she might meet people she doesn't want to meet on the way.

However, the more she didn't want something to happen, the more likely it would happen:

Just as the daylight had dispelled the darkness and Mondstadt began to become noisy, the two people walking on the road met a petite nun who was dressed neatly. When the girl with twin ponytails saw the two of them, she was stunned at first, and then said, "Sister Rosalia, the church choir's activities are about to begin. Please come with me..."

"I still have something to do."

Rosalia glanced at Shen Zhigui and said.

"But as a nun of the West Wind Church, nothing can be more important than your work!"

That girl, obviously, was Mond's teenage idol, Barbara.

She also saw Shen Zhigui, but perhaps because Shen Zhigui's appearance was too deceptive and the two were very close, she thought Shen Zhigui was Rosalia's friend. Not to mention that she didn't know what Rosalia was doing secretly, so she said to Shen Zhigui: "Sir, please persuade Sister Rosalia to stop acting so recklessly."

"He is not……"

Rosalia wanted to say something, but it was really difficult to explain, so she remained silent for the time being, and just hinted to Shen Zhigui with her eyes to let him send Barbara away.

Shen Zhigui looked left and right, thought for a moment, and then said, "This lady..."

"I am Sister Barbara of the West Wind Church. You can just call me Barbara."

"Are outsiders prohibited from observing the West Wind Church's choir activities?"

"This is not."

"Then I'll go with her."

Rosalia's eyes instantly became more gloomy and cold. At one point, she even wanted to attack the boy directly. However, the boy seemed to be unaware and just walked casually on the road with her shoulder to shoulder.

Barbara was obviously worried that Rosalia would run away, so she kept walking behind them and staring at her. However, the more she looked at the two of them, the more she felt something was wrong:

Are these two people really friends?

So she asked: "Sir, may I ask who you are..."

Shen Zhigui gave his name.

"Liyue people?"

"I think I am."

Faced with this classic yet bizarre response, Barbara did not delve into it, but simply asked, "How did you meet Sister Rosalia?"

Shen Zhigui started to lie: "I was heartbroken that day, so I went to the city wall and played the flute for most of the night. Rosalia was very worried about my safety and suspected that I wanted to commit suicide, so she sat with me for most of the night and then pulled me down. That's how we met."

Rosalia obviously didn't expect that this handsome-looking boy could be so skilled in fabricating facts.

Although ignoring each other's true thoughts, this description is indeed similar to what happened.

But she vaguely realized that the boy said this probably just to amuse himself.

That's why he wouldn't hesitate to say such nonsense.

"Oh, is that so?"

Barbara immediately looked at Rosalia with a strange look. She obviously did not expect that this colleague who seemed cold, solitary, and unapproachable would have such a gentle side in private. She immediately became determined to continue to get Rosalia back on track.

Chapter 73: Flowers Fall and Water Flows (Part 2)

Cathedral of the West Wind.

Rosalia originally thought that Shen Zhigui would take the opportunity to escape when she was participating in the choir activities, but she didn't expect that until the end of the activity, even when she was caught by Sister Victoria and scolded for a long time, the boy still sat there quietly waiting, as if he was really her friend. So after Rosalia followed him out of the church door, she just waved to him:

"I've wasted a lot of your time, and you've wasted a lot of mine, so we don't owe each other anything."

After she finished speaking, she yawned loudly. Shen Zhigui yawned loudly at the same time. The two looked at each other and suddenly felt a strange feeling. Although the silent silence between the two was soon broken by the voice coming from behind:

"Sister Rosalia..."

"I go first."

The nun said coldly.

Then she moved her long and agile legs and quickly disappeared from Shen Zhigui's sight.

When Barbara caught up with them breathlessly, the nun was obviously nowhere to be seen.

"Mr. Shen Zhigui, Sister Rosalia..."

"The direction is over there."

Shen Zhigui pointed casually.

But Barbara looked in that direction and obviously had no confidence that she could find the nun there again, so she turned her gaze to the boy, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shen Zhigui, can you tell me how to establish a good relationship with Sister Rosalia?"

“I’m not really that familiar with her.”

Shen Zhigui speaks his mind.

"But I see she is very comfortable in your presence..."

"But it seems to me that as long as you are not in her sight, she is always at ease, right?"

"But if that's the case, why did she become a nun?"

Although Barbara could see that Rosalia herself did not care much about faith, and it was said that her answers to the test for becoming a formal nun were also messy, in the end, for some reason, Rosalia still became a formal nun, but she still maintained her solitary and unfriendly style. Whenever Barbara wanted to approach her, she would always be rejected by her in various ways. Over time, Barbara began to wonder if she was hated by her...

"I don't know. Maybe there is some reason that cannot be known to others?"

Although Shen Zhigui actually knew it, because Rosalia's real job was to secretly clean up the unstable factors outside Mondstadt, she just attached her work relationship to the West Wind Church.

But he couldn't tell the truth to a young girl like Barbara who was not very worldly-wise under such circumstances.

He just yawned again.

When Barbara saw Shen Zhigui's expression, she immediately remembered that they looked the same when she first met them. Could it be that the two of them sat on the city wall for another night? Has Mr. Shen Zhigui still not gotten over his broken heart?

Although Shen Zhigui looked nonchalant, he didn't seem like the type of person who would stay up late at night and want to jump off the city wall because of a breakup.

But Barbara thought about it, and a red transparent container appeared in her hand. She handed it to the boy and said, "Mr. Shen Zhigui, you don't look very well. Would you like to try my special spicy drink?"

Shen Zhigui thought that this man was a little too naive. No normal person would dare to give someone such a drink after only meeting him twice, and wouldn't be afraid that the other person would think you have bad intentions.

But he knew that Barbara meant well, and he was really curious about what the legendary "Barbara's secret chili water" tasted like, so he took it, thanked her, and put the straw to his mouth, and then he choked soon -

Upon seeing this, Barbara immediately apologized and quickly took out an empty container, condensed water with pure water elements and handed it to him.

After calming down, Shen Zhigui noticed that Barbara had unconsciously moved closer to him. Her pretty and fair face was full of concern. Shen Zhigui couldn't help but realize that this girl, who was consistent in appearance and heart, did have the qualities to be a national idol of Mond, so he couldn't help but sigh at an inappropriate time.

"Mr. Shen Zhigui?"

Barbara asked.

"I'm fine now."

Barbara just observed his expression, but Shen Zhigui's face was not very good, so she suggested that Shen Zhigui go to a seat not far away to rest. Shen Zhigui hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, Miss Barbara, you don't have to care about me so much. To this city, I am just an outsider, and I don't think I will stay for long."

When Barbara heard what Shen Zhigui said, she was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "I will help anyone who needs help, regardless of whether that person is from Mond or not."

"But what if that person is the Fatui?"

"I am just an ordinary nun. Even if people who need treatment will be judged, it will be after they are treated."

Shen Zhigui was suddenly speechless.

Barbara observed Shen Zhigui's expression again, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shen still hasn't gotten over the shadow of his broken heart. Did he still go to play the flute last night?"

Shen Zhigui didn't expect that she still remembered that lie.

She took the boy's silence and trance as him once again immersed in the beautiful memories of the past, so she said worriedly: "Mr. Shen, please cheer up, you will meet someone better."

Shen Zhigui thought to himself, I'm not confessing my feelings to you, what do you mean by constantly giving me the nice guy card?
