"Oh, how embarrassing!"

When Yun Jin thought of what had just happened, her face unconsciously turned red.

Then something dawned on her.

"Oh, I haven't paid for these three hairpins yet!" Yun Jin exclaimed after taking a look at the hairpins in his hand.

She slapped her forehead lightly, feeling a little regretful.

"It's all their fault. They made me so angry that I lost my mind. I'm so stupid that I even forgot about this. If they knew, they would definitely laugh at me." After saying that, Yun Jin hurried back.

……

The stall owner looked up at the sound and saw Yun Jin. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Oh, Mr. Yun, is there something wrong? Is it because you don't like this hairpin?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yun Jin's face.

"No, no, that's right... Boss, I'm here to pay for these three hairpins... How much is the total cost?"

Now it was the boss' turn to be confused.

"Mr. Yun, don't you recognize those two people just now?"

"Huh? Yes, I know them. They're my friends. What's wrong?"

The stall owner suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. The gentleman just now paid for these three hairpins for you."

"Have you paid?!" Yun Jin asked in surprise.

The stall owner nodded: "Yes, it was that young man who took the initiative to pay."

Hearing this, Yun Jin's grip on the hairpins tightened slightly, and then he looked at the three hairpins in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. The hairpins in his hand shone softly in the sunlight.

"Zhongli, Zhongli, are you there? Someone is looking for you!" Hu Tao started shouting as soon as he entered the Hall of Rebirth.

"Zhongli!?"

However, Hu Tao shouted for a long time but no one responded.

"Huh? Weird, where are the people?"

Looking at the hall with no response at all, Hu Tao was a little confused. Normally, she would get a response after calling out a few times, so what was going on today?

Despite her doubts, Hu Tao still tried to comfort Su Mo, saying, "I don't know what's wrong with Zhongli today. Usually, he comes out when I call him. I guess he went out to fool around. But don't worry, he can't get far and will be back soon."

Su Mo nodded in understanding: "Mr. Zhongli is naturally busy every day. It's okay to wait."

Seeing Su Mo being so considerate, Hu Tao couldn't help but nod. "Ah~ Su Mo is still the best. He's so considerate of others. Unlike that guy Zhongli, he just wants to annoy me all day long."

Su Mo couldn't help but smile: "Maybe Mr. Zhongli is out there busy with the business of Wangsheng Hall. If he heard what Hall Master Hu said, he would be very sad for a long time."

Hu Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, with him being like that, I'd rather believe that he's just sitting there idly in the backyard than that he'll take the initiative to promote me and do nothing all day long..." Hu Tao paused, his eyes flickering.

"Yes, the backyard!" Walnut suddenly exclaimed.

Then he looked at Su Mo with a sharp gaze and waved his hand.

"Come on, I know where he is."

……

On an autumn afternoon, the sun shone softly, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Beneath a tree, a young man lay leisurely in a rocking chair, his eyes closed as the chair swayed gently, immersed in this peaceful autumn moment.

The surrounding scenery appears particularly warm under the warm sunshine, while the cool breeze gently touches each fallen leaf, as if whispering the change of seasons. It is a wonderful moment for people to relax and rest.

At this moment, a voice broke the silence.

"Zhongli!!!"

Hearing the sound, the rocking chair stopped moving. The young man slowly opened his slightly weathered eyes and looked at the noisy girl in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

"Hall Master."

He spoke softly, and there seemed to be a hint of relief and pampering in his voice.

But the girl didn't seem to understand this emotion. She just looked at the person in front of her, pouting angrily.

"Zhongli Keqing, have you completed your publicity mission today? Just sleep here! Do you know how tired I am from running around outside every day?" As she said that, the girl sat down on the stool next to her.

He poured a cup of tea naturally and set it aside, then poured another cup and took a sip. Looking at the guest official who didn't move at all, he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rising in his heart.

"Zhongli, I called you for a long time in the Hall of Rebirth just now, and you just didn't respond?!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Zhongli was a little confused: "Did the hall master just call me? Sorry, Zhongli didn't hear it just now."

Looking at Zhongli's confused and apologetic expression, Hu Tao suddenly felt helpless for a moment.

After entering the second door, Su Mo saw two people, one was leisurely and contented, and the other was talking seriously.

"Zhongli, you are at least a guest official of Wangsheng Hall. When will you be able to contribute to the hall like this hall master? Do you know that it is really embarrassing for you, a guest official, to go out for tea while I, the hall master, go out to promote the hall?"

"Tell me, when will you do something serious?"

Zhongli didn't remain silent as before when he heard this. He just looked at the dead leaves falling in the wind, his eyes softened, and he said softly, "It's almost there."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, almost? I feel like I'm going to be ugly for the rest of my life." Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, muttering to himself.

"I'm so thirsty. I've been running around outside all day and haven't had a glass of water. Unlike someone else, I'm enjoying my life~" Hu Tao shook her head and expressed her dissatisfaction, then picked up the teacup and sipped gently.

Zhongli narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, but did not refute.

Hu Tao suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhongli.

"By the way, Su Mo is looking for you." He waved to Su Mo in the distance and said, "Su Mo, here, I found him."

Su Mo, whose name was called, just smiled slightly and then walked towards the two of them.

Zhongli looked up when he heard this and saw Su Mo in the distance. He smiled slightly and said, "You're back?"

Su Mo nodded, with a hint of tiredness: "I'm back."

"how do you feel?"

Su Mo sighed lightly, with a hint of cynicism: "Alas, the moon in foreign countries is not particularly round either."

"You're just a chatterbox." Zhongli scolded him lightly, but he couldn't hide his smile.

The two smiled at each other, and their tacit understanding seemed particularly warm under the warm autumn sun.

Hu Tao was completely bewildered as she listened to their conversation. Aren't Mondstadt and Liyue the same moon? Where did the roundness come from?

Well... since he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore, he immediately said: "Okay, now that the person has been found, you can chat." Then he placed the cup of tea that had been poured earlier in front of Su Mo.

"This hall master still has things to do, unlike someone..." Walnut said with an exaggerated look of disdain: "Well, I'm almost there."

Then she stood up and looked at Zhongli, "Remember to wash the teacup, and come find me when you're done." Hu Tao turned and left after giving her instructions.

Looking at Hu Tao's back, Su Mo took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "Haha, it seems that the relationship between Mr. Zhongli and Master Hu is still as good as ever."

Zhongli smiled and said, "The hall master has a bit of an eccentric personality, but she's still a very good person."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Hmm... it's quite harmless."

Suddenly, Su Mo looked at Zhongli with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of sympathy and confusion: "Tell me, aren't you tired of living such a serious life?"

"Hmm?" Zhongli looked puzzled, not knowing what Su Mo meant.

Su Mo looked at Zhongli's confused expression, then restored his smile and explained, "Hey, this is what Barbatos asked me."

Zhongli suddenly became interested: "Oh? Then how did you say that?"

Su Mo immediately said exaggeratedly: "Of course I answered him seriously." Then he put on a serious and solemn expression.

"Well, although it's very tiring, that's everyone's expectation. You want me to give up on them? That's impossible!" Su Mo's expression was as if he was ready to die, and his eyes were full of determination.

Zhongli couldn't help but laugh.

"Su Xiaoyou still loves to joke around."

Su Mo smiled slightly. For some reason, his mood seemed to have improved since he came back.

"Since we have met him, we should have obtained the divine power, right?" Zhongli asked.

Su Mo nodded, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Of course, not only that, but there are also unexpected gains."

"An unexpected gain?"

Su Mo didn't say anything, but just waved his hand, and the green element condensed in his hand. Then the locust tree rustled, and a few dead leaves fell in the wind.

"Is this... the wind element?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes.

Su Mo smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, ever since Wendy gave me the divine power, I discovered that I have mastered the wind element."

Zhongli pondered, "This is a rare thing. I've lived for thousands of years and have never seen anything like this. Although the Heart of God can give you divine power to help Lei Dianzhen recover his soul, it doesn't allow you to master the power of the wind element."

"Huh? How did you know?" Su Mo was a little surprised. He hadn't even said the reason yet, but Zhongli had already eliminated the wrong answer on his own.

Zhongli smiled slightly: "I am the God of Rock, it's not like I don't have the Heart of God."

Su Mo chuckled: "Hehe, that's true, but this involves something even more bizarre."

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Zhongli's interest was piqued, and he looked at Su Mo expectantly.

So, Su Mo told Zhongli everything that happened during his trip to Mondstadt in vivid detail.

Zhongli was still hopeful at first, but as Su Mo continued to talk, Zhongli's brows began to furrow in worry.

"You mean, the Prince of the Abyss and the Master he mentioned?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhongli, according to Wendy, he had never heard of these two people before. Do you know anything about this?"

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I do have some understanding of the Abyss, but I really don't know anything about the Abyss Prince and the Abyss Lord. If I remember correctly, the Abyss only has various monsters. When did they have a leader?"

Su Mo added: "Wendy also said so. He also said that the strength of the Lord of the Abyss is probably unfathomable."

Zhongli nodded in agreement: "He is right about this. If, as you said, even the Hilichurls can inject the power of the abyss at will, then their strength is probably far more than what we see." Then he looked at Su Mo.

"What do you think of the Abyss Lord's admiration, Su Xiaoyou?"

"Me?" Su Mo laughed at himself.

"If even an ancient god like Mr. Zhongli finds it difficult to deal with, then I'm even more vulnerable. Who cares? If he's truly that powerful, killing me would be a piece of cake. Instead of worrying about that, I'd better find a way to live in the present."

Zhongli nodded in agreement: "That does make some sense."

Having said that, Su Mo's eyes suddenly flashed with a mischievous smile, and he looked straight at Zhongli, which made Zhongli smile.

"what happened?"

Su Mo looked at Zhongli with a smile on his face: "Hehe, Mr. Zhongli, now that I have returned from Mondstadt, I have also obtained the power of the God of Wind. Since you are all here, then your power... hehe..."

Zhongli shook his head and smiled, as if he had already seen through Su Mo's thoughts: "I'm afraid I can't give it to you now."

"Why."

"Because it's still useful for me to keep, just in case." Zhongli answered simply and directly.

Su Mo scratched his head: "How long do we have to wait?"

Zhongli took a sip of tea, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

"almost"

Ah!!! It’s really coming soon!

There is still half a month to go before liberation!!!

My friends, this class is really not for human beings.

I was thinking of finding a job during the summer vacation, but ended up working in a factory...

It would be fine if I just went to the factory to screw in screws, but it was also a night shift, which turned my life upside down.

My daily routine is reversed, I feel confused and my mind is blank.

Tightening a screw is like tightening a robot's screws. You have to repeat the same thing over and over again, which restricts your thoughts. There are so many rules, and you will be criticized if there is any problem. It is a double torture of the mind and body. Your hands hurt so much.

I would like to advise everyone who wants to work in a factory: screwing screws in a factory is really uncomfortable! And your salary will be deducted at any time.

We should study hard if we can. Working in a factory is not suitable for everyone...
