Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

The moonlight coated the Peach Blossom Land with a layer of silver frost, the guests' laughter and conversation spread into the sea of ​​clouds, and green smoke rose from the gilded incense burner on the edge of the observatory.

This situation and scene is like a dream.

Su Xun handed the sleeping Yue'er to Shen He. The baby in the ice-blue swaddling clothes unconsciously clutched a strand of his mother's silver hair and hummed like a kitten in his dream.

"You guys take a rest first, I'll be back soon."

Shen He nodded slightly and showed a gentle smile.

Hu Tao was standing on tiptoe to reach the glass lantern on the treetop. Upon hearing this, she turned around and hugged Shen He with a smile: "Go ahead, but don't find another mother for Xiao Yue'er!"

When Su Xun pretended to hit her on the head, Hu Tao ran away grinning, her wide sleeves brushing against the flowers, startling a few glowing crystal butterflies.

When Su Xun was walking through the corridor, he met Alice squatting by the lotus pond and teasing the koi.

The red-haired witch sprinkled star sand into the water, and the fish immediately turned into colorful rainbow lights, chasing and playing, reflecting the pendant on her ear and making it shine brightly.

"Ms. Alice." Su Xun stopped five steps away, the halo of the gilded lantern just enveloping the two figures, "About what happened during the day..."

"Come and help me feed the fish first!" Alice suddenly turned around and threw a handful of sugar beans. The colorful sugar grains instantly exploded into firework-shaped bubbles when they entered the water. "This is the fish food I made with various herbs and Nata volcanic ash. It can enhance their elemental affinity~"

Su Xun caught the last candy bean, and the mint coolness melted in his palm: "You seem to be quite knowledgeable about the other world?"

“It’s not really research.” Alice sat on the white jade railing, swinging her feet, the bell on her waist jingling. “It’s just that if you live long enough, you will always meet some interesting people.”

She suddenly leaned closer, her ruby-like pupils reflecting Su Xun's face, "For example...you~?"

The night wind blew the colorful petals between the two of them, and Su Xun smelled a faint scent of the sea of ​​stars.

“Have you seen other Adventers?”

"Well~" Alice circled a strand of hair with her fingertips, "Of course I have seen it..."

She suddenly jumped off the railing, her shawl decorated with stars and moons fluttering in the wind like wings. "But you are the first one to settle down like this."

The two of them strolled along the suspended plank road, with the glazed bricks reflecting the faint light of the starry sky.

The noise from the banquet hall below could be faintly heard. Xiao Gong was holding a firework tube and setting off fireworks for Klee. The golden and red sparks outlined the silhouette of the Thunder Triple Tomoe in the night sky.

"In the beginning, I was a little uneasy." Su Xun stroked the carved wooden railing, the lights of Liyue Harbor flickering at the end of the sea of ​​clouds. "I suddenly came to this world, and I always feel like an audience member who has strayed into a stage."

Alice turned around and smiled: "But now you have your stage here."

She tilted her head and chuckled, the star sand from her hair falling on Su Xun's shoulders, "Wife, daughter, friends... these anchors are much more real than the starry sky."

As they talked, they walked to the edge of the cloud platform, and the floating pavilion designed by Gui Zhong was right in front of them.

Hu Tao's laughter floated over, and she was seen holding a spoon and chasing Ying: "Try it! My special spicy egg custard is guaranteed to be more delicious than Xiangling's boiled fish!"

Ying hid and laughed, the Intivat flower in her hair almost blown off by the wind: "You should keep it to feed your husband!"

When turning around, he almost bumped into Mei Raiden who was holding the tri-colored dango. Fortunately, Ying reached out in time to hold the plate.

"Be careful." Ying said calmly.

Mei lowered her head to adjust the cuffs of her kimono and nodded slightly: "Thank you..."

"Puchi—" Yae Shinko came out from behind the cherry tree and tapped Ying's shoulder with her round fan. "You two are so polite, it seems like we are just meeting for the first time."

She glanced at Su Xun and her eyes lit up: "My husband is here, why not let him give us his opinion? Before, I said Ying should wear that furisode kimono, but she refused..."

"This kind of liveliness is much more interesting than the cold starry sky." Alice leaned against the vermilion pillar, fiddling with the bell on her waist with her fingertips. "By the way, can you lend me the blueprint of your paradise? I want to build an amusement park for Klee recently..."

Alice's fingers tapped lightly on the white jade railing, and the gilded bells hanging from the eaves tinkled in the night wind.

She looked at Xiao Palace in the distance who was teaching Klee how to set off fireworks. The sparks in the orange-haired girl's hands outlined the silhouette of Liyue Harbor in the night, causing cheers from the surrounding children.

"I can give you the blueprints." Su Xun took out a scroll from his sleeve. The yellowed pages exuded a faint scent of ink under the moonlight. "But the mechanism of the amusement park needs to be driven by immortal power. If Ms. Alice wants to modify it..."

Before she finished speaking, Alice suddenly put the scroll to her nose and sniffed it. Her ruby-like eyes were surprisingly bright. "Is it the ink made by mixing various flower juices with star silver ore? No wonder the formation on the blueprint can breathe!"

Su Xun burst out laughing.

This legendary witch's observation skills are truly amazing. She can even figure out the formula of ink.

He was about to explain when he saw a cluster of blue flames suddenly burst out from Alice's fingertips, and the flames gently licked the edge of the scroll.

“Uh, you…”

"Don't be nervous~" Alice shook the scroll with a smile, and a three-dimensional projection appeared on the paper surface burned by the flames.

The glazed pavilion slowly unfolded beneath their feet, and the sound of the gears meshing could be clearly heard.

"Using alchemy to replicate the structure of space is much more convenient than copying blueprints."

As she spoke, the Dudu pendant hanging around her waist suddenly changed shape and turned into an exquisite compass that absorbed all the projections.

Klee, who was chasing the crystal butterfly in the distance, seemed to sense something. She turned around and waved over here, and the star sand hairpin in her hair flickered in the night.

"Mom is stealing tips again!" The little girl's crisp shout made the guests laugh.

Gui Zhong, who was adjusting the tea set, trembled her hand, and ripples spread out in the celadon cup, reflecting her interested expression.

Su Xun looked at Alice operating the alchemy device skillfully, and suddenly remembered his helplessness when he first arrived in Teyvat.

When I was young, I couldn't even control the elemental power, but now I can easily set up a barrier to cover the fairyland.

The night breeze blew past his face with the sweet scent of almond tofu. He looked at Eula, who was being dragged by Walnut to try new snacks in the distance with a resistant look on her face, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Brother Su seems to be enjoying his life now?" Alice came closer to him without her knowing, and the sand from her hair fell on his shoulders.

She was playing with a rainbow-colored candy between her fingers, and bubbles were coming out of a steam train on the wrapper.

"…You should just call me Su Xun."

Su Xun took the candy she handed over. The moment the cool mint melted on the tip of his tongue, memories flooded his heart like a tide.

“I feel much more down-to-earth than when I first arrived.”

He looked at Shen He who was being taught by Nashida how to make a wreath. The silver-haired fairy's hair swept across the stroller when she lowered her head. The sleeping Yue'er's little hand unconsciously clenched the Leiying sachet embroidered by Huzhai Palace.

Alice followed his gaze and suddenly chuckled, "When I found Albedo, he looked similar to your little Yue'er holding the Alchemy Notes. Speaking of which, can you lend me the longevity lock you gave to your daughter at the banquet just now?"

Su Xun took out a gilded necklace from his arms. The lock core carved from sacred cherry wood was flowing with seven-colored fairy power.

Alice looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass for a moment, and suddenly took out a prism from her cloak.

The moonlight refracted through the mirror and onto the lock core, reflecting the shadows of the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue Harbor.

"Sure enough, it's mixed with the sand of time!" She excitedly turned around on the spot, and her shawl inlaid with star and moon patterns swept across the stone steps, startling a few dozing sparrows.

"I said that ordinary Thunder Sakura wood can't withstand the resonance of the seven elements, but you actually thought of using the power of time to solidify the material..."

Their discussion was interrupted by sudden noises of laughter.

Hu Tao came out from the flowers with a big belly, holding up her skirt. The red plum blossoms in her hair were wet with night dew. Xiang Ling followed behind her with her arms full of snacks.

"Husband, come quickly! The three-color dumplings made by Mei are about to be eaten by Ying!"

Before Su Xun could answer, he saw Lei Dian Mei coming towards him holding a celadon plate.

She placed the still warm dumplings on the stone table and said, "Husband, Miss Alice, please have some snacks."

"Mei, you are so partial~" Yae Shenzi came out from behind the cherry tree and leaned on Su Xun's shoulder from behind, "We are sisters after all, but you didn't even let me try a few more just now."

She complained, but her eyebrows were curved into crescents, and she stuffed the hidden Feiying cake into Su Xun's mouth.

Alice watched everyone's interaction with great interest, and suddenly used star sand to outline a complex array on the table: "Brother Su, what do you think of adding a memory corridor to the amusement park? Use the smiling faces captured by the camera to drive the mechanism, and the louder the laughter, the higher the swing will swing..."

"Mom!" Keli ran over holding a firework tube that was emitting fire, with seven or eight colorful bubbles floating behind her. "Look at the bouncing clouds that Sister Xiaogong taught me to design!"

She stuck the firework tube into the ground, and sparks immediately jumped across the star map paved with stone slabs, forming clouds.

……

When everyone was discussing, Shen He joined in, holding Yue Er who had just woken up. The baby opened his obsidian eyes and looked at Alice curiously, then suddenly stretched out his little hand and grabbed her falling red hair.

A strand of star sand slid down from the tip of her hair and condensed into a glowing dandelion in Yue'er's palm.

"It seems that Xiao Yue'er also likes my design!" Alice took out a stargazer like a magician, "When the amusement park is built, auntie will take you to ride the rainbow roller coaster, okay?"

She flicked the glass ball with her fingertips, and the stardust suddenly turned into a mini roller coaster that circled in front of the baby.

As the night deepened, the guests went into their guest rooms in groups of three or four to rest.

Su Xun stood at the edge of the observatory, watching Alice teach Kelly how to debug the starry sky projection device.

The red-haired witch hummed an unknown ballad, and star sand flowed around the mother and daughter with the melody, like elves in a fairy tale.

"What are you looking at, my husband?" Shen He walked slowly towards them holding Xiao Yue'er, the ice crystal pendant in her hair reflecting the moonlight.

"Looking at the starry sky of Teyvat." Su Xun put his arm around his wife's shoulders. In the distance, the fleet of Mondstadt was raising dandelion-shaped night lights. "Maybe in the future, I should find a chance to take Yue'er to see the real sea of ​​stars."

"The real...sea of ​​stars?" Shen He was a little confused.

The tune Alice hummed drifted away with the evening breeze, and the night in the fairyland became more gentle.
