Walnut was dreaming.

It was a white space with her grandfather standing in the center.

The old man had a gentle complexion and a kind smile on his face.

She ran over and hugged her grandfather.

Grandpa also hugged her and smiled happily. He said, "You are great, Walnut. Now I feel relieved."

Then, he slowly faded away, humming a strange nursery rhyme of his own making.

It was a very simple dream, but it made Hu Tao feel warm. She knew that she had truly grown up.

When I woke up, there were tears on my cheeks.

"I didn't expect to cry again~"

Kurumi murmured with a smile after wiping his face.

Feeling a little dizzy, Hu Tao slowly sat up. The unfamiliar environment made me think... Oh, right.

After thinking for a while, Walnut looked at the two people sitting on the recliners beside the bed and finally reacted.

I seem to have fallen asleep at the door of Qingchen's house...

I feel a little shy. I didn’t plan to sleep. I’m just too tired.

A blush appeared on Hu Tao's face, and she stared at the two of them in a daze.

The rain outside the window seemed to have stopped, and a ray of sunlight shone through the curtains onto the two people.

Qingchen lay lazily in the chair, his eyelids trembling slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

In his arms was Guizhong, who was holding him tightly. She was wearing a blue dress, which should be her nightgown. She was curled up and rubbing her head against him from time to time.

Handsome men and beautiful women, sunny day after rain, warm cottage, and peaceful years.

It looks like a happy scene.

only…

Hu Tao looked at Gui Zhong and felt a little envious. What a good relationship they had.

"looking at what?"

At some point, Gui finally turned to face Hu Tao, opened his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Sister Guizhong, you are awake now."

Hu Tao quickly looked away, but her ears turned red.

"Just woke up, are you looking at Qingchen?"

"No...no," Hu Tao was a little flustered. In front of Gui Zhong, she always felt that she couldn't let go and felt a little guilty. "I'm watching you two."

"Yeah~"

Guizhong didn't say anything, kissed Qingchen on the face again, and slowly and carefully got down from the rocking chair.

The chair shook, but Qingchen did not wake up.

"Do you want to lie down there?"

Gui Zhong sat next to Hu Tao and pointed at Qing Chen's arms.

"what?"

Kurumi looked at her in astonishment, her face flushed, "I... me? How could I..."

"It's okay, it's okay. He's taking advantage of it. You thought so, right?"

Gui finally blinked.

"I…"

Kurumi lowered his head.

"If you don't go, he'll wake up~"

"I go!"

Kurumi looked up suddenly and made up his mind.

Gui Zhong was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of smiles, and he rubbed her head, "That's right, don't you want to act like a spoiled child once in a while?"

Walnut feels like a little kid now.

Hu Tao tiptoed to Qing Chen and hesitated again, "Um, won't it wake him up?"

"Don't worry, his vigilance at home has been reduced to the lowest level, and he won't wake up."

Gui Zhong clenched his right fist and cheered her on.

Hu Tao looked at Qing Chen's handsome face, swallowed, and felt a little hot.

She leaned over it gently, and the chair shook, which scared her. She looked at Qingchen nervously, afraid that he would wake up.

Fortunately, just as Gui Zhong said, Qing Chen just frowned and did not wake up.

"Whoo~"

Kurumi felt her heart pounding, and she didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or shyness.

“So solid…”

Hu Tao buried her face in Qing Chen's chest, smelling the mint scent on his body, and her mind became increasingly unclear.

She couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

This was the first time that Hu Tao was so close to him. Usually, there was always a vague sense of distance between them.

"You really don't want me to get close to you?"

Hu Tao looked at Qing Chen with resentment, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

I don't want to let go.

Just like she said, she usually can only find fun on her own. She has friends, but she is the head of the Wangsheng Hall after all, and she can't have any intersection with her friends at work.

Most of the people in the hall are elders, and we can't play together, so it's boring.

People in Liyue Harbor often think Hu Tao is a strange child, which is understandable, and she knows it, but people often ignore that she is still a young girl who hates loneliness and boredom.

Before Qingchen arrived, she basically enjoyed herself alone.

But after Qing Chen came, although he always called her the honorific title of Hall Master and did not allow her to call him by his name, to be honest, in the Wangsheng Hall, in Hu Tao's opinion, he was the one who could make her happiest.

The wonderful ideas he occasionally came up with made her very happy, and the poems and songs he wrote made her immersed in them.

He never thought there was anything strange about her. He was the person who was most like a friend to her in the Hall of Rebirth. The others were just close elders, not friends.

According to Guizhong's words, it should be a bit childish, right? But because of this, Hu Tao wanted to get closer to him.

Until today, Qingchen completely exposed the grievances and pressures she had hidden in her heart, making her cry bitterly. Although sad, she also understood one thing: perhaps other people also saw her depression, but only Qingchen would say it directly like a friend and comfort her.

So, even though Qingchen is paying attention to the sense of distance, his personality means that his relationship with Hutao is not too distant, and he cannot be indifferent to Hutao.

“So warm~”

In Qingchen's arms, Hu Tao felt an unprecedented sense of security, and felt a little sleepy again.

But before closing her eyes... Hu Tao looked at Gui Zhong guiltily. The other party was looking at her with a smile, as if he understood what she wanted to do, and just nodded.

Hu Tao suppressed her shyness and moved closer to Qing Chen's face.

Just for a moment, just for a moment...

Hu Tao kissed him on the face, and then Qing Chen opened his confused eyes.

Hu Tao raised her head and met Qing Chen's gaze.

...

……

…………

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Um, Qingchen, hello?"

Now that she was already lying here, although she was shy, Hu Tao couldn't just stay like this, so she waved her hands, greeted him awkwardly, and then hugged Qingchen tightly.

"Uh…hello?"

Qingchen's mind was a little confused.

Who am I, where am I, and where will I end up?

No, the important thing now is, why is Kurumi in my arms? Is she dreaming?

Qingchen decided to take a nap...bullshit!

"Master Hu, get off! Why are you in my arms?"

Qingchen shook his body, trying to get her to get down, but she didn't move for a long time. He didn't dare to hug her, and they were in a stalemate for a while.

"No, I'm staying here today, and no one can drive me away."

Kurumi snorted and moved closer.

Qingchen's body froze. After all, she was still a girl, her body was very soft, and there was a hint of plum blossom fragrance on her body, which made Qingchen blush.

"Go down, Master Hu..."

"Qingchen, let her lie there."

A voice was heard and Qingchen stopped moving immediately. It was Gui Zhong who walked to his side.

"In the end, is it you?"

Qingchen asked helplessly with a bitter face.

"it's me."

Gui Zhong was very calm, and Hu Tao looked at her with gratitude.

"No, what are you doing!"

"It's simple. She likes you, so I help her. Is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem!"

Qingchen wanted to complain and refute, but Guizhong hit him back with one sentence: "You thought she was me when you fell asleep. You kissed her, so you must be responsible."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He looked down at Hu Tao and saw that she looked shy.

Is this true? But it's possible, isn't it?

Qingchen stared at Guizhong closely, trying to find some clues.

But after all, he is an old actor and doesn't reveal any flaws.

Anyway, let Hu Tao go down first. Qing Chen decided to fly directly and let Hu Tao go down.

But before he could move, Hu Tao was reminded by Gui Zhong's words, locked onto her target, and kissed Qing Chen cleanly and decisively.

Qingchen's eyes widened suddenly...

After much thought, I decided to classify Walnut as the heroine here.
