Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

In a flash, Cheng Yan had flown from Liyue Harbor to Aozang Mountain.

The system asked, "Host, are you just leaving like this? Morax will be angry, right?"

Cheng Yan looked into the distance to confirm the location of Jin Peng's residence, then waved his hand to answer the system.

[Don't worry, being naughty occasionally in front of the Emperor can enhance our relationship. I have already figured out how to coax him.]

After watching Jin Peng picking some mushrooms on the mountain, I realized that I had been walking for so long, and Lord Emperor must not have had a good meal. I would go back and cook with Lord Emperor, so as to relive the good memories of the past.

But time is becoming more and more tense.

Cheng Yan shook his head, wanting to find Jin Peng as soon as possible.

It was the same familiar road. Cheng Yan climbed up the mountain wall and went straight into a cave. Originally, there was a mechanism here, but every time Cheng Yan came here before, he would sneak through the window and get directly into Jin Peng's bed, so the mechanism here had been dismantled by Jin Peng long ago.

It landed safely and lightly without making any sound. Cheng Yan looked around at the furnishings around him. This time was different from before, as if there were more furnishings.

There was a table in the room out of nowhere, and the heavy table and chairs looked very suitable for reading and writing on them.

Cheng Yan thought about it and sat down. The wide chair was very comfortable to sit on, but the table was a little low.

Lying on it and feeling it, Cheng Yan waited for Jin Peng to come back.

His fingertips accidentally touched a pile of papers, and Cheng Yan just saw that the thick stack seemed to be blank, with the top covered by a paperweight.

"Everyone likes reading and writing... Am I the only one who doesn't fit in?"

Cheng Yan held up his head and fiddled with the pile of papers boredly. The blank page at the top was flipped open, revealing the elegant handwriting underneath.

"Ok?"

Cheng Yan took a curious look and found that it was Jin Peng's handwriting.

"What is written? It's such a thick stack."

Driven by curiosity, Cheng Yan wanted to open it and take a look, but he stopped when he thought of Jin Peng's personality.

"Don't let it be Jin Peng's diary." Then he couldn't act on his own. Even the closest relationship required some distance.

Having said that, Cheng Yan couldn't take his eyes off the paper that obviously contained a large amount of information.

"How about... taking a look?" Cheng Yan missed Jin Peng very much after not seeing him for a long time. He had no resistance when he saw this thick stack of things that looked like a diary.

When he turned the page and saw the first sentence, Cheng Yan felt relieved.

【To Cheng Yan:】

The three words in a single line were placed together, and Cheng Yan thought they looked beautiful no matter how he looked at them.

"As expected of Jin Peng, you can write my name so beautifully."

After seeing his name, Cheng Yan could now read on boldly.

It is indeed something similar to a diary, but it looks more like a letter written to Cheng Yan.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how big or small.

[Today, I went to Wuwangpo with Senior Guizhong. There were flickering fireflies there, the vivid blue color was like fireworks. I wanted to see it with you, but considering that you are afraid of these supernatural things, I decided not to go. But... if it was fireworks instead, would you like it? ]

[Today I saw Ganyu coming to Mount Ao Zang. She was in a bad mood, so I asked her and found out that the jam you sent was secretly eaten by Ruota, and it seemed that not a single bottle was left. She came to ask if we had any left, and wanted to try to make it herself. Mi Nu had already eaten it, so we told her no.

But actually... I still have a jar here, secretly hidden away. I don't want to eat it, I want to keep looking at it, but... jam seems to have a time limit for consumption, right? I wonder if this bottle of jam will still be in its current state when you come back. 】

[Today I encountered a very agile monster. I didn't hold back and killed it directly. It touched the pendant you gave me and damaged a tassel thread. I was in a bad mood and wanted you to come back and fix it for me.]

[…Nothing special happened today, but I really want to ask, when will you come back?]

Sentence by sentence, every brief record can reveal the state of mind of the person who wrote it at the time, and every sentence is about missing oneself.

Cheng Yan's heart swelled as he watched, and he just wanted to be beside Jin Peng right now.

"System, where is Jin Peng now? I can't stand it anymore, I want to see him right away!"

Cheng Yan's heart broke when he imagined the poor little thing sitting here every day and writing these words alone.

[Host, don't worry, he's already back]

When Cheng Yan heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the door. There was no sign of being pushed away, so Cheng Yan strode over, expecting to see the face he had been thinking about day and night in the next second.

Very subtle footsteps were heard, the frequency in Cheng Yan's memory.

His heart started beating fast and Cheng Yan suddenly felt nervous. They had been separated for a long time. How should he feel when facing Jin Peng?

There was no time for Cheng Yan to think carefully.

"Jin Peng, I'm going to take a shower. We'll go find Senior Guizhong together later."

"Ah."

It was a familiar voice and tone. Cheng Yan could even imagine Jin Peng nodding slightly when he said this.

The door was pushed open, and the two people inside and outside the room were almost face to face.

"Squeak—"

Cheng Yan held his breath, not knowing what expression to make for a moment.

Jin Peng, who was outside the house, touched the door with one hand and rubbed the pendant that should have been on his waist with the other hand. The corners of the pendant had been worn. Jin Peng took a deep breath and held it in his hand again.

The door was pushed open, and before Jin Peng could fully see the scene inside the house, he suddenly heard a soft cry in his ears.

"Golden Roc."
