"Drama?" Yu Qi was stunned when he heard Yun Jin's somewhat abrupt question, and his mind couldn't help but recall his childhood.

As for drama, Yu Qi had actually heard of it. When he was young, he had lived in an orphanage. At that time, next to the orphanage was an old house where an old man over 80 years old lived.

Usually, the old man’s favorite thing to do is to sit on a lounge chair in the yard with an old radio, basking in the sun slowly and listening to the opera with noise on the radio.

Perhaps because he had a rather introverted and quiet personality since childhood, Yu Qi found it difficult to play with other children. Sometimes he liked to hide in a corner of the orphanage alone, listening to dramas on the radio with the old man.

From what I heard, I realized that he was about seven or eight years old. The old man did not survive that summer after all. Yu Qi also received help from kind-hearted people and went to an orphanage, leaving the orphanage where he had lived for a long time.

With a slightly dazed expression, Yu Qi quickly came out of the yellowed memories, looked at Yun Jin who was somewhat curious, shook his head and nodded.

"I don't really know much about opera, but I have heard some of it before, and I kind of like it."

"Is that so?" Yun Jin nodded, and she didn't feel any regrets. After all, she mentioned this only because she didn't want the two of them to stay silent all the way. That would be too embarrassing.

"If Mr. Yu Qi is interested, you can come to Heyu Teahouse to listen to opera tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that I just researched a new opera a few days ago, and I will be performing it on stage these two days."

"Mr. Yun's new play? Then I..."

"Mr. Yun?! Really Mr. Yun! I, I want to ask you a few questions. Also, can you tell me about your new play? I am your loyal fan. And, and..."

Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and was about to reply when a young-looking woman suddenly rushed out from the corner with a camera-like instrument in her hand. She blocked Yu Qi and Yun Jin and fired a series of questions at them.

Such reckless behavior made several reporters who were also hiding in the dark not far away feel jumpy. While they were annoyed by the foolish behavior of their colleague, they quickly pressed the shutter.

Isn't this the news you want? Here it is!

With their ears pricked up, the reporters couldn't help but sneak closer, wanting to hear how Yun Jin would answer the young reporter's questions.

As if frightened by the reporter who suddenly rushed out, Yun Jin involuntarily took two steps back. Fortunately, Yu Qi reached out and supported him, so he did not fall.

Of course, this move was also seen by other reporters, and their expressions became even more surprised.

Before, the two of them were just walking side by side, so it would be easy to find out if they were talking nonsense. But it’s different this time because there was physical contact. You can arrange it however you want. Anyway, there are pictures and the truth!

"?" Looking at the enthusiastic girl in front of him with some caution, Yu Qi frowned and stepped in front of Yun Jin without hesitation: "Miss, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to stop us so suddenly? Besides, Mr. Yun's new play has not yet started, so it naturally needs to be kept confidential. How could I reveal the content to you?!"

"Hey, get out of the way. I'm asking Mr. Yun, not you!" He waved his hands impatiently, trying to push away Yu Qi who was blocking him. The reporter was obviously in a bad mood: "Who are you? Mr. Yun hasn't said anything yet. Why are you making so much trouble?"

"Ms. Reporter, please be careful with your words!" At this time, Yun Jin also recovered from the sudden surprise. She walked out from behind Yu Qi with light lotus steps and looked at the reporter in front of her with a calm expression. She did not show much anger, but her attitude towards this reporter was visibly keeping a distance.

"Also, Ms. Reporter, if you want to interview us, please report to the manager of our Yunhan Agency in advance..."

"Ah, why are you making so much trouble? Mr. Yun, you are right here now. Just answer a few questions for me. It won't take up much time!"

Seeing that the reporter raised the camera in her hand and was about to take a picture of Yun Jin, Yu Qi frowned and raised his hand to stop her.

Although it is possible to use the power of lightning to destroy this 'camera' and prevent it from taking pictures, the behavior that should be prevented must still be prevented. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, who knows what will happen.

As for his use of violence, would others talk about it? Anyway, Yu Qi had just arrived in Liyue Harbor and opened a weapons store, so he was not afraid of this bad reputation.

Fortunately, just when Yu Qi was about to take action, a middle-aged man from the other side of the sky bridge hurried over. Seeing what the young reporter did, he snatched her camera without saying a word.

Then he turned to look at Yu Qi and the others, bowed and began to apologize sincerely: "I'm sorry, both of you. I'm really sorry. I'm a new reporter in our newspaper. I don't know the rules and disturbed Mr. Yun. Please forgive me!"

“Hey, manager, what are you doing?” The girl was startled by the man’s behavior. She came to her senses and raised her eyebrows. She scolded the manager in front of her without any courtesy: “I didn’t do anything wrong. I just interviewed Mr. Yun. What’s wrong with that!”

"We'll leave now, let's go now..." Without paying attention to the girl's sharp words, the newspaper manager nodded and bowed to Yu Qi and the others, and then, in the gazes of many passers-by not far away who were watching the show, he reached out and forcibly pulled the reporter girl away.

"Let me go, what are you doing? I'm telling you, you're done. I'm going to tell my dad when I get home and have him fire you..."

Watching the reporter girl walk away, Yu Qi and Yun Jin looked at each other in surprise, but after a moment they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This is really..." Shaking his head, Yu Qi didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to see this bizarre scene that he had just seen on TV. He immediately shook his head and said, "This reporter is really too self-centered."

"Yes, but from what she said, she must be the daughter of a wealthy business association. She was spoiled from childhood, so she developed this kind of personality."

"Oh, Miss Yunjin, you seem to have encountered many such situations before?"

"That's not the case." After thinking for a while, Yun Jin's face showed some reminiscence: "Mr. Yu Qi also knows that actors, although they are artists, they still need to perform. In daily life, they will inevitably encounter all kinds of people."

"After a while, you'll naturally get used to it. Although I've never seen a young lady being a reporter, people who are more self-centered are not uncommon in Liyue Harbor."

After saying that, Yun Jin looked at Yu Qi, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "By the way, I have to thank Mr. Yu Qi for speaking up for me just now. If I were alone, I would probably be harassed by that reporter!"

"It's nothing, it's my job." Yu Qi nodded, unable to deny it.

After all, in that era of well-developed Internet on Earth, there are quite a few people like this, and there are even many who are even more outrageous.

Although Liyue Harbor is an ancient society, that only means that news will not spread too widely. Similar people and things will naturally not be too rare.

Thanks to this little thing, the relationship between the two people became much closer.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and they chatted for a while; in the corridor ahead, a young woman in a plain dress, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, suddenly rushed over in a hurry.

"Yun Jin - are you okay? I just heard that you were stopped by someone. Did she do anything to you? Are you hurt anywhere? Do you want to go to Bubulu..."

Chapter 74: Yellow, I want

"Hey, Yunning, I'm fine." Seeing the woman looking him up and down nervously, Yunjin smiled and shook his head gently: "It's just a reporter who suddenly wanted to interview me. Nothing happened. Don't worry, it won't affect the recent performances."

"Phew, that's good~" Seeing that Yun Jin was indeed fine, the woman named Yun Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but start to talk about Yun Jin: "Look at you, you like to run around normally, but why do you have to run out at this critical moment?"

"What do you mean by buying something? What kind of thing would take you so long to buy?"

"Tomorrow is the day when your new play will be on stage. Many old audiences are waiting to see your play. There are also other colleagues who are looking forward to it. They hope that something will happen to you. If the play cannot be performed, you and our Yunhan Society will lose the reputation that you have worked so hard to build up!"

"Just think of it as a matter of fact for our troupe, or for the audience, you should pay more attention and care about your own situation!"

"Don't worry, Yun Ning." Facing Yun Ning's nagging words, Yun Jin did not feel annoyed. She smiled and continued: "You also know that my skills are actually very good. After all, I have this."

Raising her finger and pointing at the Eye of the Rock God on her neck, Yun Jin took the opportunity to perform a fancy spear stance with her bare hands, her skirt flying, looking heroic, which made Yu Qi's eyes light up.

"Okay, okay, I know you are good at fighting, but what if, what if something happens!" Yun Ning sighed helplessly and slowly calmed down, realizing that she was indeed worrying too much.

After all, this is Liyue Harbor and Feiyunpo, with so many Thousand Rock Army coming and going, so no big problem will arise.

However, I'm afraid that someone will deliberately stir up trouble and take the opportunity to slander Yun Jin's reputation!

For example...

Her gaze quietly fell on Yu Qi standing beside her, and there was a hint of scrutiny in Yun Ning's eyes.

"By the way, who is this gentleman?"

A young man suddenly appeared, walking side by side with Yun Jin, and they had a close relationship... Just by looking at Yu Qi, dozens of various romantic news and gossip news popped up in Yun Ning's mind, and she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Of course, she did not put all the blame on Yu Qi. After calming down, she looked at Yun Jin who was standing tall and gracefully.

"This is Mr. Yu Qi. Didn't I say this morning that I was going to buy some things on my father's orders? I went to Mr. Yu Qi's shop."

After explaining Yu Qi's identity, Yun Jin looked at him and introduced Yun Ning's identity to Yu Qi: "Oh, Mr. Yu, this is Yun Ning, the manager of our Yun Han Society, and the person who is responsible for my daily life."

"Hello, Boss Yu Qi, nice to meet you. Thank you for taking care of our Yun Jin."

"Hello, Manager Yunning, nice to meet you."

After a little formal acquaintance, Yun Ning finally asked her doubts: "I wonder if Boss Yu Qi is going to Yun Han Society with Yun Jin this time? If there is anything that needs to be handled, I can help."

"Yun Ning, it's like this." After hearing the implied meaning in Yun Ning's words, Yun Jin stepped forward and explained a few words.

"So that's how it is." Nodding, Yun Ning stretched out her hand and waved behind her, and two burly men in short shirts walked out of the crowd.

"Mr. Yu Qi, why don't you give those weapons to Awu and Adong and let them move them back to Yunhan Society? Yunjin, you can go back with us so that we can get familiar with the new play. As for Mora, I will accompany Mr. Yu Qi to Northland Bank to transfer the money, how do you think?"

Glancing at Yun Ning and then at Yun Jin, Yu Qi naturally understood what she meant, but he didn't feel angry. He smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay."

He casually took out the weapons and handed them to two people from Yunhan Society for transportation. Yu Qi also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Yun Jin.

After all, the other person had made his intentions so clear, so he couldn't continue to stay there shamelessly.

"Mr. Yu Qi, please remember to come to Heyu Teahouse to watch my new play this weekend!"

"must!"

Following Yun Ning, he went to Northland Bank to complete the transfer. Under the strange gaze of Manager Andre, Yu Qi signed his name on the contract document in a casual manner.

After walking out of the Northland Bank impatiently, Yu Qi said goodbye to Yun Ning without saying a word and turned to walk towards his own shop.

"This Mr. Yu Qi is quite considerate." Standing at the entrance of Northland Bank, Yun Ning looked at Yu Qi's receding back and murmured to herself.

It’s not that she hated Yu Qi and didn’t want him to meet Yun Jin, but after what happened before, if a young man like him stayed with Yun Jin, it would be easy for some unnecessary rumors to spread.

Not only did she understand this, Yun Jin and Yu Qi naturally understood it as well, which was why they agreed with Yun Ning's opinion so easily.

On the way back, Yu Qi slowed down his pace a lot and looked around at the scenery of Liyue Harbor. Whether it was the crowds of people flowing on the streets below or the various shops on the skywalk not far away, they all gave him a different kind of novel feeling.

Compared with modern cities with tall buildings and glass-walled streets, although the buildings here lack some of the dazzling brilliance brought by electronic screens and lights, the overall atmosphere is much more harmonious, and there is none of the tense feeling of modern big cities.

Walking down the next step, his eyes inadvertently swept across the platform not far away. Yu Qi suddenly paused, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the Wanwen Collection over there.

Because he was not very literate before, he only bought a few books on reading here. This time when he passed by here, he could buy some novels, story books and the history book of Teyvat that he had been thinking about, just to kill time.

"Sir, do you want to buy a book?" Seeing Yu Qi coming, Ji Fang, the owner of Wanwen Collection, called out, then pointed to the huge bookstore behind him and said, "Go pick it yourself. If you like a book, just bring it over here to pay."

Nodding, Yu Qi walked into the bookstore. The stacked bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, some of which were slightly old, while others were brand new. Occasionally, there were a few people dressed as scholars, walking between the bookshelves, searching for the books they needed.

Just like the people around him, Yu Qi was strolling casually in the sea of ​​books. Suddenly, he paused and took a book from the bookshelf beside him with some curiosity.

"The Emperor's Travels?" Yu Qi opened the title page with anticipation. After a cursory reading, he discovered that this was actually a fantasy novel. It mainly told the story of how the Emperor King of Rock transformed into a mortal and walked the mortal world. It also contained many imaginary stories and popular stories.

Although most of them are the author's conjectures, they are still interesting if you savor them carefully.

Especially the vague description of the incarnation of the Rock King - 'wearing a black robe as solemn as a rock, with eyes like golden amber'.

The moment he saw this text, the figure of Zhongli emerged in Yu Qi's mind. Combined with the way he acted and spoke, after reading it for a while, a vivid picture emerged in Yu Qi's mind.

Of course, what surprised Yu Qi the most was the Rock King Emperor who appeared as a woman in the second volume of the travel notes.

Thinking back to Zhongli's solemn, dignified and handsome face, Yu Qi found it hard to imagine how stunning he would be if he transformed into a female.

With a twitch of the corner of his mouth, Yu Qi managed to suppress the smile in his heart. He took down all four volumes of "The Emperor's Travels" and prepared to buy them back to read them carefully.

Holding the books, Yu Qi continued to search on the bookshelf. After a while, he had a bunch of thick books in his hands, which attracted the attention of people around him.

If his body had not been completely changed, he would have been unable to move these books.

"Boom!"

Under Ji Fang's somewhat surprised gaze, Yu Qi put all the books on the table and calmly took out the Mora bag: "Check out, I want all these books."

"Well, let me see, the total is 34,000 Mora." Ji Fang glanced at Yu Qi with a slightly strange look and casually reported a number.

Naturally, she had a deep memory of this young man who had come to her place two days ago and bought several copies of "Liyue Character Enlightenment Illustrated Book". Now, seeing him buying so many books in one go, if most of them were not novels from various countries, Ji Fang would have thought that he was preparing to open a private school.

Without saying anything, he paid for the books directly. Then, Yu Qi left Wanwen Collection with a pile of books in his arms, looking calm and composed.

When he walked down the corner of the stairs and there was no one around to see him, Yu Qi waved his hands and put all the books into the inventory - mainly to avoid suspicion so that people would not suspect that he had hidden any books.

Anran returned to the shop, and just like when he left, the shop was empty without a single customer.

Seeing him come back, a little chirp hurried up to him, pointed at the counter and said a few words, then ran back to continue his busy work.

Walking quietly to the counter, Yu Qi looked at the pink fairy sleeping soundly on the counter. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly, muttering softly: "Tsk, I asked you to watch the store, but you just fell asleep, right?"

"Luckily, we are here, otherwise you wouldn't even know if the store was robbed!"

Of course, despite his complaints, Yu Qi still carefully walked around the counter, gently took off his outer robe, and put it on Alicia to prevent her from accidentally catching a cold while sleeping.

However, just when Yu Qi put down his coat, he noticed a pair of purple eyes looking at him blankly - in Alicia's arms.

"?" Putting down his robe with some surprise, Yu Qi gently lifted up Alicia's arm and 'rescued' the zombie girl who was in her arms: "Qiqi? Why are you here?"

"Mr. Yu, I was picking herbs and passed by here. I saw that there was no one in your store and it was open for business. I was afraid something might happen, so I came in to take a look."

Looking up at Alishia who seemed to be sleeping soundly, Qiqi continued to explain: "But, being hugged by her, it felt cool, fragrant, and comfortable, so I didn't leave."

After saying that, without waiting for Yu Qi to reply, Qi Qi's gaze involuntarily turned to the side room, where Xiao Manchu was carefully cleaning the dust in the corner, and a rare look of yearning appeared in her eyes.

"Little yellow sparrow, I want..."

Chapter 75: The First Guest (Please Don’t Keep the Book)

"Little yellow sparrow, I want you to hug me, can I?"

Looking at Qiqi who was looking forward to it, Yu Qi glanced at Manju who was cleaning the dust with a rag, thought for a moment and said, "As for this one, I'm still busy, so I can't let you hold it for the time being."

"Oh~" Qiqi responded softly, her face still blank, not showing any disappointment: "Then can I get closer and take a look at it?"
