"——Aunt!" When Amber was about to speak, the office door was pushed open again, causing Amber's hand to tremble subconsciously.
The person who appeared at the door was naturally Zed. She was wearing a slim-fitting inner lining and a thin jacket on the outside, which allowed one to clearly see the perfect muscle lines on Zed's body.
"Zed, don't be stupid." A hand knocked on Zed's head. After Zed, Xiao Kui walked into the office. This girl is getting more and more beautiful. Maybe if she puts on Liyue clothes, she will be recognized as a Liyue person.
"Ouch—" Zed held his head with his hands and jumped twice to distance himself from Xiaokui. "Xiaokui, what are you doing?"
"My aunt is pregnant. It's not good for her that you're making so much noise." Xiao Kui shook her head helplessly. There was a subtle helplessness in her eyes when she looked at Jed, a bit like the look a mother gives her silly child.
"Ah...!" Hearing this, Zed subconsciously wanted to scream out, but halfway through, he remembered Xiaokui's words and quickly covered his mouth, "I... I forgot."
"It's actually not a bad time now. It's okay to relax a little." After seeing Xiaokui and Zed's visit, Amber's joy was beyond words. She waved to them to signal them to come closer, and Nashida thoughtfully poured tea for them.
After Xiaokui's reminder, Zed's movements became much lighter, but some things in his bones could not be changed. He just walked straight to Amber's side. Xiaokui seriously suspected that Zed didn't even notice the presence of the obviously visiting guest sitting next to Amber.
After Zed came to Amber, he looked straight at her belly, not hiding the curiosity in his eyes at all. Xiaokui, who was more accomplished in etiquette, was obviously much more restrained. She first nodded to Alice as a greeting, and Alice also felt a good impression of this good-looking and polite girl.
"Aunt, how do you feel...?" Jed stretched out his hand and retracted it, then tried to ask Amber how she felt. Everyone present could see that Jed wanted to touch her but was worried about hurting Amber. Amber couldn't hold back the smile that was welling up in her heart for a moment, and her body leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair.
"It's okay to touch it lightly. It's only been four months, so you can't feel anything." Amber gently held Jed's wrist and guided Jed to place his hand gently on his belly. Jed didn't dare to breathe under Amber's action. She didn't dare to move her fingers at first, but finally tried to move her fingers under Amber's gentle smile.
At four months, there were already obvious signs of pregnancy. After the initial movement of her fingers, Jed relaxed a bit. She slowly squatted down, observing Amber's belly intently.
"Hmm..." Zed mused, not knowing what he was thinking. Amber reached out and gently rubbed Zed's head, then spoke jokingly, "Zed's cousin will be born in a little over five months. Do you want to come and see her then?"
"Yes!" Zed did not hesitate to answer this question. She nodded vigorously. And then, for some reason, Xiaokui glanced at her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but when she did, her eyes met Xiaokui's. Xiaokui's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly walked behind Jed and knocked him hard on the head.
"Ouch! I was just thinking about it!" Zed held his head in his hands again, looking like he was really in pain.
"Don't even think about such a thing!" This time it was Xiao Kui who failed to completely control her voice, and a moment after she finished speaking, Xiao Kui realized the problem. She quickly covered her mouth and apologized to Amber. The bright red color spread from her cheeks to her ears. She didn't know if it was because she was embarrassed by her rudeness or because of something else.
If Amber were to say, she thinks it's a bit of both.
"So energetic..." Alice sighed as she took a sip of tea. It was only then that Zed noticed Alice's presence, which made Alice unable to suppress her smile.
As an immortal who has lived for a long time, how could Alice not see the relationship between the two, and this current combination of one reckless and the other careful made Alice feel inexplicably in tune with each other - or perhaps this was the right combination.
In the office that was temporarily turned into a reception room, the focus shifted to Alice. After Alice explained her identity as a legendary adventurer, Xiao Kui became very curious. Alice was never reluctant to share her adventure stories with others, so she opened up.
But as she spoke, the story got a little distorted. Alice mixed in many of the mysteries that were in her mind at the time during her journey. For example, when she was in Mondstadt, Alice noticed the Dadaupa Valley there - this was a valley where three hill tribes gathered, and it was a very prosperous valley.
When passing by this place, Alice came up with the idea of building a giant spherical rotating cage here, using the Hilichurls as power to drive the mill in Mondstadt. She estimated that this could last at least five years.
It wasn't too scary so far, but Alice's next thought became horrifying. In order to save costs, Alice also thought about sending the old and exhausted Hilichurls to the mill to be processed into feed and fed to those strong Hilichurls.
"...So...so scary." Zed's pupils trembled. She had never expected that Alice, who appeared so kind on the surface, actually hid such terrible evil thoughts in her heart. Even though her targets were monsters like the Hilichurls, this was still too cruel, right?!
"Oh, of course I don't have that idea now. At that time, I didn't understand the true nature of the Hilichurls' existence, so I had that idea." Alice waved her hand and smiled, changing the subject. If you ask her why she changed her mind... it was naturally because after knowing that the Hilichurls were actually humans who had been cursed, Alice felt a grudge.
"By the way, have you heard of the Wind Dragon Ruins? That's where Tevarin, the East Wind Dragon of Mondstadt, is located. In fact, it should have been called ruins before. As for why it has been renamed the Wind Dragon Ruins now—" Seeing that the atmosphere in the office had become a little strange for a moment, Alice changed the subject, and the effect was significant. Several people were quickly attracted to the new story.
Compared to the harmony in the office, Amber's home seemed less harmonious. Amber and Klee were sitting together. Klee was holding a glass of juice in her hands and sipping it, her feet swinging back and forth. Amber was not as comfortable as Klee. She looked at the two people opposite her with embarrassment on her face.
Amber was not the only one who felt embarrassed. At this moment, Cole was scratching his cheek with his fingers, feeling equally embarrassed. If you asked why, Aji was now holding Cole's left arm close to his body, staring at Amber with some hostility.
This is not consistent with Aji's usual style. She usually seems very calm, just like Amber. But today, not long after Amber arrived, Aji became like this, like a stressed cat.
"Nella..." Cole helplessly placed his hand on Aji's head and stroked it gently. "You have to believe me. It's true that I was very excited about Amber's arrival, but it was because Amber was the one who saved me from the past."
"Right...right, Nayla, don't overthink it. Amber and I are really just friends!" Amber nodded like a rattle. She was actually quite surprised. She was very confused. When did Cole fall in love? Why didn't he tell her?
"Hmm..." Ah Ji did not respond immediately. She hugged Ke Lai tighter, obviously feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Facing Ah Ji's subtle possessiveness, Ke Lai shook her head helplessly. She hugged Ah Ji's head with both hands and pressed his head against her chest.
The effect was remarkable. Ah Ji was confused for a moment, but he finally listened to some explanations, and the atmosphere took a turn for the better.
"What's wrong with you sisters? It feels a little weird." After the atmosphere calmed down, Klee broke away from the battle with the Juice Monster, and in the end the Juice Monster was completely defeated.
"No... nothing. It's better for Klee not to know these things for the time being!" Amber waved her hands repeatedly. This attempt to cover up something made Klee tilt her head in confusion, but the sensible Klee didn't say anything in the end. Everyone in the Knights had told her to respect other people's little secrets.
In the end, this little disturbance was easily resolved by Cole, and the atmosphere also eased with the addition of Cole.
