Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Journal

"So I thought I'd give you a massage to relax you."

"rest assured!"

“It’s a proper massage!”

Hearing this and looking at his serious expression, Ningguang became unsure. Judging from this guy's slippery performance of talking nonsense, the more serious he talks, the more frivolous he will become in the end!

But...why is it that I feel a sense of anticipation in my heart for no apparent reason?

PS: The picture shows Ningguang (really Ningguang).

Chapter 88: Mondstadt Maids! Wind Flower Festival and Wind Flowers

The next morning, as the live broadcast started, people discovered that Gu Jing had arrived in Mondstadt, accompanied by Yingmei, Paimon, and Mona, who was hitchhiking along the way.

The streets of Mengcheng are filled with various flowers and ribbons because of the Wind Flower Festival. The romantic, leisurely and comfortable atmosphere makes people feel happy.

And compared to Liyue's Lantern Festival, the Wind Flower Festival really doesn't have a single commission.

However, on the other hand, the entire Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius were extremely busy because of this. People headed by Captain Jean were in charge of all matters related to the Wind Flower Festival. Even Kaeya, who usually liked to slack off, was drafted into the army by Captain Jean.

Wendy is still teaching people how to write love poems in the square. After all, in a sense, the Windblume Festival is also the Valentine's Day for the people of Mondstadt.

Mona couldn't help blushing when she noticed that the people around were looking at Gu Jing with envy and jealousy. Yingmei and Paimeng were looking at Gu Jing with a smile, obviously wanting to see what kind of love poem he could come up with.

Receiving the gaze, Gu Jing smiled and shook his head.

【About the Wind Flower Festival——】

[In a sense, Wind Flower Festival is indeed Valentine's Day. 】

[But... doesn't Ying feel the same? ]

【We are by each other’s side. 】

【Every day is Valentine’s Day. 】

[But I certainly won’t miss out on something that others have. ]

【Let’s split up. 】

【I hope everyone will get a surprise later. 】

At this point, the figures of Gu Jing and Mona turned into colorful spots of light and disappeared. Yingmei and Paimeng were both a little amused.

******

But to be honest, when Gu Jing was suddenly asked to prepare a holiday surprise, his mind was a mess. Besides, it was not just Yingmei, the holiday surprises for Qin Hunchang, Rosalia, and Lisa could not be left out, right?

Walking in the alley, Gu Jing scratched his hair helplessly and amusedly: "My head is almost bald. This should be the punishment for being a playboy, right?"

Mona beside him nodded seriously: "Without a doubt! But why did you bring me here?"

"Of course I want to invite you to join my little team."

"After all, as you can see."

"Sometimes Yingmei is not in Mondstadt."

"In this case, wouldn't the commissions obtained in Mondstadt be wasted?"

"I think--"

"Mona is definitely the best fit."

Hearing this, Mona stopped unconsciously and looked at Gu Jing's smiling face. She really didn't expect that Gu Jing trusted her so much.

She adjusted the brim of her hat out of habit, and her expression was very serious: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful for me to disagree?"

Gu Jing's mouth twisted when he heard this: "You can't say that. I'm not a demon. If the person I like can't be used by me, I will just lock her up in a small dark room and let her go hungry or bitter every day."

“This is considered to be making the best use of one’s abilities, isn’t it?”

Mona's mouth twitched. You bastard, how dare you say that! Is this a threat? It's definitely a threat to her!

But Gu Jing smiled and held her shoulders: "Of course, I also know your financial situation, and I will not treat my employees unfairly."

"As you know, Diluk and I have a business partnership selling alcohol, right?"

"Last month's profits have already been credited."

"3000 million Mora."

"I'm not telling you this to show off."

"I just wanted to prove it to you."

"Even if I offer you a salary of 1000 million Mora every month."

“It’s not a problem for me.”

Mona opened her eyes involuntarily, and her whole body was trembling. 1000 million Mora!!! This is going to be a big deal!!!

"stop!"

"Stop talking!"

Without any hesitation, Mona raised her finger to the stars (fate) and swore: "As long as Gu Jing doesn't force me and gives me 1000 million Mora every month, I, Astrologis Mona Megistus, will never betray you in my life!"

"If there is any violation——"

"Let fate punish me most severely!"

Looking at Mona's serious expression, Gu Jing pinched his chin with interest: "I think it would be better for me to punish her."

Mona, blushing, stood on tiptoe and shouted, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do! Just forget it!"

Gu Jing also slightly restrained his smile after hearing this: "Then for the first task, please ask Miss Mona to help me with some advice."

"I have to prepare four Valentine's Day gifts all at once."

“It’s a real headache.”

In this regard, Mona couldn't help but complain: "Isn't it because someone has been fickle all the time? This is retribution!"

"Hmph, if you talk back to your boss, I'll deduct your salary."

"No, no, no! I know I was wrong..."

After getting to know Gu Jing, Mona became more talkative. She could also say a few words about whatever Gu Jing said.

This is because she reads a lot of books and knows a little about big and small things. In addition, Gu Jing speaks in a witty and humorous way. Mona, who thinks she is a nerd, actually likes to chat with him.

******

Two hours later——

Gu Jing and Mona, who had prepared gifts, saw Yingmei and her group at the Deer Hunter. Captain Qin, Lisa, Amber, and Rosalia were also there.

Seeing Gu Jing, Amber smiled and waved at him: "Over here!"

Two tables were pulled together and Gu Jing sat between Captain Qin and Rosalia. Lisa sat opposite him, and Yingmei, Amber, Mona, and Paimon were all sitting opposite him.

And Paimon still had an excited expression on his face: "Gu Jing, you came at the right time. We were just discussing the Wind Flower."

"Captain Qin said the wind flower is a dandelion, Amber said it is a small lantern grass, and Lisa said the wind flower is a purple rose."

"Rosalia still thinks the Wind Flower is Fallingberry!"

“It confused me at the time.”

"It's called the Wind Flower Festival, but everyone refers to the Wind Flower differently."

"Then Captain Qin also explained it to us."

"The wind flower is a symbol."

"Everyone has a different wind flower in their heart."

“It speaks to freedom.”

"What about Gu Jing?"

"What do you think the Wind Flower is?"

“Is it a dandelion?”

"Or purple rose?"

"You can't possibly think that the Wind Flower is Little Lamp Grass and Falling Berry, right?"

"Or..."

"The flowers on the fireflies are more beautiful."

Hearing this, Lisa smiled meaningfully, Captain Jean smiled and puffed out her chest, Amber looked expectant, Rosaria shook her wine glass with interest, and even Yingmei couldn't help but touch the Intivat on her head.

Lisa smiled and added: "You can only choose one. Brother Gu Jing won't let me down, right?"

Phew~ Mona understood and laughed secretly on the table. How could this be called choosing the wind flower? It was clearly asking him to choose someone!

There was no sign of panic on Gu Jing's face. After thinking for a moment, he gave his answer in his diary.

【About the Flower of Wind (selection).】

[Dandelion has strong and tenacious vitality]

【Purple roses are noble and elegant.】

【The little lamp grass is a guiding light at night. 】

[Lolloberry or something. 】

[I guess Rosaria just said it casually because she didn't want to bother. 】

[As for the Intivat that Yingmei wears on her head? ]

[Intiwat once flourished in every corner of the land of Kanria.]

[The flowering period of this flower is only two weeks, but if it is picked and taken away from the land of Kanreya, the petals will no longer grow and become very hard. It will not become soft again until it returns to its native land, and finally disappear into the dust.]

[It symbolizes "the wanderer", and implies "the tenderness of hometown".]

【but--】

[I really have to choose one. 】

[I can’t really choose. ]

[In fact, I am still working hard to achieve everything. ]

[Do you have to make me choose one? ]

Doesn't this negate my efforts?

After recording this, Gu Jing didn't look at anyone. He just sat in his seat, poured himself a glass of wine, and savored it calmly.

However, the pressure instantly came to the hearts of Captain Jean and others. The culprit, Paimon, pointed his finger at them with a guilty look on his face: "Ahem... I apologize, this is all my idea, but I really don't mean any harm, we just want to know which one you like best..."

Gu Jing was noncommittal when he heard this: "I understand, but it's because it's hard to choose, so I want them all."

As he spoke, he also took out the gift he had just prepared: "Qin, this is your Wind Flower Festival gift, I hope it can help you grasp the time well..."

The exquisite pocket watch with a necklace made Captain Qin feel guilty; the purple high-heeled shoes with rose patterns made Lisa feel uncomfortable; the bright red bow with the Count Rabbit pattern made Amber almost cry.

Rosalia, on the other hand, didn't even look at Gu Jing's gift. She kissed him decisively, realizing that Gu Jing was willing to respond to her.

She wiped the corners of her mouth and smiled: "It is indeed our fault that we accidentally ruined today's festival, but let's stop this deadly atmosphere. Everyone has prepared gifts for you, I believe you will like them."

Gu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Everyone?"

"Those in Mondstadt who have a copy of your diary."

"It was long before the Wind Flower Festival."

"Our Qin has already been contacted."

"We are waiting to present you with the surprise that everyone has prepared."

Lisa added with a smile, and Gu Jing also showed an expectant smile when he heard it. He continued to give out the remaining gifts, and the atmosphere at the table became joyful.
