Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

"When the sun comes out, I bask in the sun. When the moon comes out, I bask in the moon..."

Walnut, humming a little tune, skipped and jumped inside the Hall of Rebirth. When passing by a room, he glanced at it casually and continued walking forward. However, Walnut only reacted after passing through the door.

"Eh!?"

She felt a little bit unbelievable, but she also felt that she was not mistaken. Then she jumped back and ran backwards, wanting to confirm her thoughts. She stood still restlessly, and when she saw the people in the room, her originally puzzled expression turned into sadness.

The people in the room couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Hu Tao didn't say anything, but turned around and ran in. Looking at the young man sitting at the table, quietly drinking tea, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. Then he began to look around the room.

He looked left, right, up and down, sometimes he ran to the cabinet, stood on tiptoe and raised his chin, sometimes he squatted in the corner and drew circles, or he bent over and looked carefully at the dark corner behind the furniture, as if he was looking for something.

Zhongli couldn't help but smile when he saw this. What's wrong with this girl? She has been looking around since she came in. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a thief looking for valuables.

"What are you looking for, Hall Master? You can talk to Zhongli about it. Maybe he has seen it."

Hearing this, Hu Tao slowly came to sit in front of Zhong Li with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were still looking around, and finally landed on Zhong Li's face, which was looking at her with interest. Her brows knitted slightly.

"Eh!? Keqing, were you dumped by that Tartaglia?"

Hu Tao never stops talking until she shocks people. When these words suddenly came out of the little girl's mouth, even Zhongli's face froze.

He was dumped?

Why didn't he know?

Also, is the word dumped appropriate here?

Looking at Zhongli's stunned expression, Hu Tao was convinced of the correctness of her guess and felt a little sympathetic. "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that someone despised you and dumped you. Don't worry, don't worry. I am still here for you." Hu Tao comforted him like a caring older sister.

Zhongli laughed dumbly and shook his head, "Why does the Hall Master think that Zhongli was dumped by Tartaglia?"

"Huh? Isn't that right? Or did you get a change of heart and dump him?"

Zhongli was amused, "That's not the case. Young friend Tartaglia and Zhongli still have a good relationship."

"Is that so? Then why are you at home? Shouldn't you be shopping with that Tartaglia? Why are you at home now?"

Something was wrong, something was very wrong! If there was nothing wrong, with Zhongli's personality, and someone was treating him, how could he just stay in the Hall of Rebirth?

Seeing Hu Tao's suspicious expression, Zhongli couldn't help but become interested and teased, "Master, are you saying that Zhongli shouldn't stay home? That way, I won't have to keep track of the accounts for Wangsheng Hall."

"Huh?... I, I didn't say it was bad." Walnut didn't react for a moment.

"Then why does the hall master want me to leave so much?"

"I... I didn't mean that. It's just, it's just very strange." Walnut explained anxiously, with a slight blush on her face.

Good heavens, Zhongli's tactic of retreating to advance actually made her unable to do anything.

Looking at Hu Tao, whose face was a little red due to anxiety, Zhongli smiled slightly, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hu Tao, who took it and took a sip.

After drinking a cup of herbal tea, feeling the slight coolness flowing through the body, Hu Tao's mood also calmed down a little.

"I want more!" After drinking, Hu Tao smacked her lips and then handed the cup to Zhongli.

"Okay," Zhongli took it and added another cup for Hu Tao. Hu Tao took it. With the previous cup as a prelude, she was not so anxious to drink it in one gulp this time. Instead, she took small sips of the tea.

His eyes couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhongli, who was standing next to him with a amiable aura.

She felt that today's guest was a little strange. How should she put it? He seemed to be more friendly and joyful.

Although the person in front of her didn't say it explicitly or show it, based on her long-term understanding of him, she knew that he must be like that. However, Zhongli today didn't seem as cold and depressed as usual. Instead, he seemed a little more kind and happy than usual.

Why is this?

Hu Tao was thinking this, but Zhongli next to her noticed the girl's little thoughts, and her little eyes were almost fixed on him.

"Is there something wrong, Hall Master?"

This girl hasn't said a word since she finished drinking tea. If I don't ask her, I'm afraid she will just keep watching me.

Walnut, who was peeking, was suddenly startled and quickly withdrew his gaze, saying in a hurried tone, "No, it's okay."

"Nothing? Nothing? Why are you looking at Zhongli so strangely? Or does the Hall Master want me to promote the business of the Rebirth Hall? There's no rush. I've already discussed this with young friend Tartaglia, and he promised to share the pressure with us if he has the chance. But, Hall Master, you too, Tartaglia doesn't look like a vicious person, so you don't have to be too hostile towards him."

Hu Tao's mouth twitched slightly. Good fellow, he's taking every opportunity to teach me a lesson, right? But why does it always feel like he's leaving a last will and testament?

Walnut waved her hand casually. "That's all right, that's all right. I'm just that kind of person. Since he can bring business to Wangsheng Hall, I'll reluctantly forgive him."

Zhongli nodded gently, "This is also for the best."

Seeing Zhongli like this, Hu Tao was even more puzzled. She put down her cup and looked at him, "Eh? Guest, why do you seem strange today?"

"Hmm? What's weird about that?"

"Well, I feel like you've behaved a little more honestly today." Hu Tao commented after thinking for a moment.

Zhongli couldn't help but laugh, "Honest? Does the hall master think that Zhongli is an unreasonable person?"

Hu Tao thought for a moment, "Not really. It's mainly because you're always disobedient and running around. Today you suddenly behaved, and I feel a little weird about it. Can you recover for a while?"

Zhongli couldn't help but feel helpless.

What kind of thinking is this girl? Being obedient is actually a bad thing.

"Well, okay."

Kurumi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Zhongli was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hu Tao's carefree nature could be seen. He didn't hide this.

"There is something."

"Do you need my help?"

"Oh? The Hall Master isn't angry with Zhongli?" Zhongli looked at her with interest.

"Why am I mad at you?"

"It's fine that they don't help the hall master promote the business of the Wangsheng Hall on weekdays, but they also always spend money recklessly and charge it to the Wangsheng Hall account. Isn't the hall master angry at all about these things?"

Walnut snorted, "Haha, you know what I mean. But who told you to be like that? I don't understand. As for being angry, I am indeed a little angry, but I am the head of the hall after all, so it's only right for me to be considerate of my subordinates. After all, with great ability comes great responsibility."

As if she was afraid that Zhongli might misunderstand, she quickly added.

"Don't get me wrong, I did this so you can recover as quickly as possible. I wasn't prepared for you to suddenly become like this. It's very scary, you know."

"Um,"

"So, what's going on? I'm scared when you look at me like that." Hu Tao asked a little puzzled.

After all, she was used to Zhongli's calm demeanor on weekdays. However, today he was indeed eerily quiet and not in a very good mood. She didn't know what had happened to make him like this. However, as the head of the hall, she also had to pay proper attention to the safety of her subordinates. Psychological counseling was also part of her responsibility.

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not a big deal, actually. I'm just thinking about something."

"Problem? What problem?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao immediately sat up straight and listened attentively. Even someone as knowledgeable as Zhongli was stumped. This question must be very difficult.
