The tranquility of the night is gently broken by the glow of morning light. In an instant, the earth is covered with warm light, and all things wake up.

Its daybreak

Su Mo opened his eyes and walked out of the tent. In an instant, a cool breeze hit him in the face, making him feel a little chilled. He felt the slightly cool air in the early morning, took a deep breath, and instantly felt a slight chill in his lungs. He immediately became much more awake.

"Good morning, Su Mo."

"Huh!?" Su Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhongli and Tartaglia sitting by the fire, with hot water boiling in the pot above the fire.

Noticing Su Mo's gaze, Zhongli greeted him.

"Good morning, Su Xiaoyou."

"Mr. Zhongli? Tartaglia?" Su Mo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these two people woke up earlier than him. It seemed that these two dishonest guys didn't sleep at all.

Coming to the fire, Su Mo took a look at the boiling hot soup and ingredients in the pot and couldn't help but teasing.

"Okay, you two, you're going to get up secretly and eat alone, right?"

"Hey, you can't say that. Mr. Zhongli and I get up early to cook for everyone. It's okay if we don't get any benefits and just get a few compliments, but you are still accusing us wrongly. We can't bear this sin. Mr. Zhongli, don't you think so?" Tartaglia then looked at Zhongli for his approval.

Zhongli smiled and nodded. "What Tartaglia said makes sense. We cooked for everyone so early in the morning, and in the end, we ended up with something like this. It's really disheartening."

Su Mo seemed to be thinking about something. "Hmm... That's true. How about I praise you guys?"

"Well...Mr. Zhongli and Tartaglia really worked hard to get up so early to make breakfast for us. I want to thank you for everyone!"

Hearing Su Mo's somewhat sarcastic tone, Zhongli and Tartaglia laughed, knowing that the other party was joking.

"Well, so why don't you come and help!?"

"okay."

……

Looking at the burning flames, Su Mo felt a little bored and couldn't help yawning.

"Ha~"

"What, are you tired?" Zhongli asked casually.

Su Mo nodded. "A little bit. Although night riding sounds easy, it is really tiring if you really do it, especially the mental torture of repeating the same action for a long time. The physical pain is okay, but the mental pain is what makes people feel uncomfortable." Su Mo complained.

Zhongli chuckled.

"That's true. However, even though it's tiring, isn't this also a form of exercise?"

"Huh? What do you say?"

Zhongli did not answer immediately. Instead, he picked up a stick and stirred the dying fire. With the addition of fresh firewood, the fire began to burn fiercely again.

Zhongli then retracted his stick, looked at the passionately burning fire, and spoke slowly.

"You see, just like this fire, it will eventually go out after a while, so new firewood needs to be added to it continuously to maintain its temperature. The same is true for people. While it is important to have a temporary passion for doing something, it is only temporary. Having the quality of perseverance is also very important. That quality is sometimes like new firewood constantly encouraging oneself to burn brightly, thus giving people the motivation to move forward.

"However, speaking of this, Hall Master, her performance this time was beyond my expectations."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Mo was a little confused, not knowing what Zhongli meant.

However, before Zhongli could answer, Tartaglia became complacent to himself.

"Oh, I can't believe that Su Mo, who always cares so much about his friends, didn't realize what was going on? So I do have my strengths. For example, I'm a little better than you at paying attention to details."

"Ah? You are more observant than me? Is that true? Stop flattering yourself." Su Mo said with some disgust.

Tartaglia rolled his eyes and said, "Tsk, don't disbelieve me. I can tell you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't say that. As for the details..." Then he looked at Zhongli.

"I think Mr. Zhongli is referring to the fact that Hall Master Hu has been relatively quiet along the way, right?"

"Well, that's not wrong," Zhongli nodded in response.

Seeing that Su Mo was still a little confused, he began to explain.

"Look at Wendy, if she's tired she'll start complaining, but even though the hall master was so tired, she didn't complain at all, which really surprised me. After all, she's usually so active, and she'd rather turn one sentence into three to express her thoughts. This time, even though she was tired, she kept silent and worked hard. This really surprised me." Zhongli couldn't help but smile as he spoke, not knowing whether it was because of happiness or relief.

Su Mo thought for a moment, then teased.

"Maybe she's just embarrassed because we're all here?"

"Huh? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Su Mo still smiled.

"Since Wendy has lost her bottom line, she's complaining too. What's the difference between her and Wendy?"

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then realized something and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Su Xiaoyou, you really love to joke around."

"Well, in life, one should always be open-minded. Besides, I am also a cheerful young man."

……

"Hey, hey, hey! Wake up!!! Wendy!!!"

"Um...don't touch me."

"Wendy!!! Wake up!!!"

"Ahhh!!! I don't want to get up, I don't want to!!! I don't want to!!!"

Paimon was speechless as he watched Wendy struggling in the tent while holding the quilt.

This guy is obviously a wind god, why is he even lazier than her now!

"Wendy, get up quickly. If you don't get up soon, there will be nothing to eat." Ying reminded.

Wendy squirmed a few times, a mask of pain appeared on her face, and she muttered with her eyes closed.

"No, no, the food is not good at all. If there is wine, I will get up..."

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other helplessly.

"Then you should take a rest first."

Just as Wendy was about to fall asleep again, she heard a conversation.

"Su Mo should have some wine, why don't we go have some?" Ying suggested.

"Okay, it's quite cold early in the morning, drink something to warm yourself up." Paimon agreed.

"liquor!?"

Wendy suddenly stood up and became much more awake immediately. She put her ear to the tent and listened carefully to the conversation outside the tent.

But then another doubt arose.

Did Su Mo really bring wine? How could he not know?

He looked at Su Mo's package yesterday, and there was clearly no bar?

But then the sound of conversation was heard.

"By the way, did Su Mo really bring any wine? Why didn't I see it?" Paimeng asked in confusion.

"I did, but you just didn't see it."

"Go, go, go, go quickly, I'm almost freezing to death."

Ying hesitated for a moment, "So, Wendy... should we call him?"

"Forget it, he's so lazy that he can't even keep up with eating, how can you expect him to keep up with drinking?"

Then Paimon suddenly chuckled and said

"Besides, I only have one or two bottles, so why bother with it?"

"That's right, let's go..."

Listening to the sound fade away, Wendy stared at the tent with a bit of resentment. Fortunately, her friends were still there, but they just left her like this. What kind of person is that?

Not great!

Then he leaned over and lay down again.

However, Wendy felt a little conflicted as soon as she lay down.

Can't afford it? Then do you still want to drink?

Tsk, let’s get up.

Wendy was about to go out, but she suddenly stopped when her hand touched the tent.

I just went out like this???

I just refused, so what if I leave now? What if they think I'm just going out for drinks? Wouldn't that be so embarrassing?

No, no, we also have to save face.

Then don’t go out?

But you have to drink.

Wendy was in a dilemma, wondering whether she should go out or not.

After hesitating for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in Wendy's eyes.

go out!

How can face be eaten as a meal?

In order to save face, some people act like they are great even though they are not capable enough. However, sometimes there are some things that you don’t need to pay too much attention to. Why care too much about what others think?

Being happy is the most important thing!

go out!

Thinking of this, Wendy suddenly stood up and went out.

When I walked out of the tent, I was greeted by the moist and fresh air of the early morning, which made me feel comfortable.

Noticing the movement in the tent, everyone looked over.

Wendy saw this and stretched slowly.

"Ha~, the air in the early morning is really fresh..."

However, when no one responded after he sighed, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Why doesn't he respond? How can he fit in properly?

Then he saw everyone exclaiming again, "Wow! Why did you get up so early? You didn't even call me. You are eating here secretly." Wendy hurried over and poured herself a bowl of hot soup and started drinking it.

"Ah~, what a wonderful thing it is to drink soup in the morning."

Everyone looked at him without saying anything, but their mouths curled up slightly, and Walnut and Paimon also tried hard to suppress their smiles.

Seeing this, Wendy took a few more sips. Seeing that no one spoke, she looked around and took the initiative to speak with some hesitation.

"Well, um, where's the wine? Why isn't there any? I thought I heard there was wine."

"Hahahahaha..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wendy explained awkwardly for a moment.

"Well, well, I didn't get up just for the wine. It's mainly because it's so cold out, and we need a few sips to warm ourselves up, right? I'm doing this for everyone's sake!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed even more happily.

"Hahahaha... Wendy, Wendy... Hahahaha..."

"You, if you want to drink, then drink. Just be honest and say it. Who are you acting for? Hahahaha..."

"That's right, that's right. Do you know how you act like you're hiding something? It's hilarious. Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Wendy smacked her lips and said nothing, then took a deep breath and accepted her fate.

"Yes! I just came out to drink!!! You guys can laugh if you want!"

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.

Then Wendy stood up and looked around, but she didn't find any trace of wine, not even the smell, and she became a little confused.

"By the way, where's the wine?"

"Wine? There's no wine."

Ying and Paimon said with a grin.

"No wine!? You lied to me and said there was wine?" Wendy exclaimed.

Ying and Paimon were a little confused, "Huh? When did we tell you there was wine?"

"Just now you were..." Wendy was about to speak when she suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.

"Oh~", Paimon and Ying looked suddenly enlightened.

"Wendy, you are not honest. You actually eavesdropped on our conversation." Paimon nodded at Wendy and smiled.

"No." Wendy turned her head away stubbornly.

"Yeah, you didn't hear..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"
