Yaksha had originally given Yu Xiuwen a lot of Mora, and he won a lot in the competition. Now he has a lot of money on him, so he can take advantage of the festival to have a good stroll around the city.

In addition to eating, he planned to buy some gifts for Yaksha to take back.

"Brother Fushe likes making clothes, so buy some fine fabrics and bring them back; Brother Mi Nu likes reading ancient books, so you can look for some; Brother Xiao likes... uh, almond tofu? Buy him some ingredients to make it; Sister Yingda likes mortal novels, so you can find some interesting ones, and also beautiful clothes; Sister Fanan likes flowers, so buy some flower seeds..."

(I think Fushe and Mi Nu are reversed, sorry)

While walking on the street, Yu Xiuwen was muttering to himself.

Since Yaksha can't come to visit, he must bring some gifts back.

Although they didn't say it, Yu Xiuwen knew very well that they longed for life on earth.

Uh, maybe Xiao doesn't count? He doesn't know whether Xiao really thinks the mortal world is troublesome or just doesn't want to hurt mortals by getting too close.

Probably both.

After a hearty meal, Yu Xiuwen walked around the street, stopping and choosing carefully for a long time.

He was not satisfied until the time agreed with Ganyu arrived.

With several bags in hand, I barely had time to get anything else.

------

"Oh, sorry for the wait. I just finished work."

After waiting for a while, the sun was almost setting, and some people had already started setting off fireworks. The red lanterns in the city were also lit one after another, emitting a soft light.

Gan Yu then hurriedly appeared on a beam again and landed in front of Yu Xiuwen.

"It's okay, I just arrived."

Yu Xiuwen shook his head and said with a smile, "It's the Lantern Festival, but you're so busy."

"Because it's a holiday, there's a lot of work—no, actually, there's a lot of work every day, but I don't hate it."

Ganyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a few deep breaths.

Then she looked at Yu Xiuwen for a few times, looking at his large and small bags, a little confused, "What are these..."

"Oh, this is my first time at the Lantern Festival. I brought these as gifts to Brother Fushe and the others."

"I see. It's rare to see them get along so well with a mortal."

"After all, I'm the only one who can get close to them—ah, found it."

Yu Xiuwen lowered his head and rummaged through the bag for a while, then took out a few packets of tea and handed them to Ganyu.

"?"

Ganyu didn't quite understand what it meant.

"After all, this is our first official meeting, and you signed my pass to enter the city. I heard these packets of tea are very effective in relieving fatigue. You work a lot, so I think they'll be useful."

Yu Xiuwen explained.

Just consider it a meeting gift.

"Ah? This, this..."

Gan Yu was stunned, her cheeks slightly red, and she was about to refuse, "I obviously didn't prepare anything for you..."

"I'm the junior, and you're the elder. How could you possibly prepare something for me on our first meeting? Please accept it. If you really feel bad, then please allow me to call you Sister Ganyu. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll call you Xiu Wen."

Ganyu nodded embarrassedly.

My liking for the boy (or this child) increased significantly.

I had heard Fanan praise this child a long time ago, and after meeting him, I found that what he said was true.

He's so mature that he doesn't look like he's twelve.

"By the way, congratulations on winning the championship."

It was the first time they met - well, including the previous one, this was the second time they met. Ganyu couldn't think of any topic for a moment, and was afraid that the conversation would be awkward, so after thinking about what happened in the morning, she expressed her congratulations.

"If we don't take first place, won't it be embarrassing for Brother Fushe and the others?"

Yu Xiuwen said with a smile.

"I don't think they would think so—" Ganyu murmured, and then added: "But you are really talented. How many years have you been practicing sword?"

"When I was little, I followed the former village chief to practice. Later, the village was destroyed and I was picked up by Sister Fanan. I followed Yasha for three or four years."

“…Ah, sorry for bringing up your past…”

Ganyu felt a little guilty.

"It's okay," Yu Xiuwen smiled carefreely, "I will make Warcraft pay for its blood debt with blood."

The latter sentence was spoken in a low tone with a hint of chill.

"Are you planning on going to the front? Too young, aren't you?"

Ganyu was a little worried.

"It has nothing to do with age. I'm capable enough," Yu Xiuwen shook his head firmly, then smiled at Ganyu. "Although Sister Fanan will definitely not let me, I haven't told the Yakshas yet. Sister Ganyu, please keep it a secret for me."

"...I'm still busy with work, so I probably won't be able to see them very often."

Ganyu said this, which meant she agreed.

Yu Xiuwen nodded. Noticing the sudden heavy atmosphere, he changed the subject. "Speaking of work, Sister Ganyu, do you really like working?"

"Ah, yes, that's why I'm always working. As expected, you find it strange too..."

Ganyu suddenly became a little depressed.

Yu Xiuwen didn't deny it, "Sister Ganyu, it's only natural to feel strange, right?"

"... "

Ganyu became a little more depressed.

However, Yu Xiuwen quickly continued, "Because it's rare, I find it strange. I don't think the idea of ​​strangeness is a derogatory term or prejudice, but rather a sense of wonder at rare things."

It's like others would find it strange that he could achieve such a high level of swordsmanship at his age.

But above that, there is more surprise and admiration.

"Eh?"

Ganyu was stunned for a moment and raised her head.

This is the first time I've heard someone say this.

"So, if you think 'strange' isn't the right word, 'amazing' might be a more accurate word. This is the first time I've seen someone who loves their work, but I don't think loving work should be considered unusual."

Yu Xiuwen said frankly.

Looking at the smile on his face that was as bright as the spring sunshine, Ganyu suddenly felt that some of the discomfort in her heart about this topic suddenly disappeared.

Many people who work for Qixing work all night.

Ganyu is the one who appears the most times.

Every time I finish work, someone will always say, "Master Ganyu is still working? Take a break."

Ganyu would then smile and reply: "It's okay, someone has to do the work, and I really enjoy working."

And when people ask her about her hobbies, she will say work.

Others will look at you in disbelief and ask, "Is your hobby a job?"

The next sentence is, how strange, a hobby is work? Do you like work?

As if work shouldn't be a hobby.

Ganyu understood their thoughts, and she also knew that she was unique in this respect.

But I can't help feeling a little awkward.

Why can't work be a hobby?

With this idea in mind, she has been working till now.

Until today, Yu Xiuwen suddenly said that it didn’t matter, his hobby was work, it was strange, but it should not be regarded as something out of the ordinary.

Work can be a hobby.

"I'm sorry, was that a bit far-fetched?"

Ganyu didn't respond for a long time, so Yu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask carefully.

"No, I understand what you mean, thank you."

Ganyu said sincerely.

"Huh, that's good." Yu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Ganyu became depressed as soon as this topic was mentioned. He understood her thoughts at that time. If he said that he didn't find it strange, Ganyu might be comforted, but she would only think that he was just trying to make her happy.

On the contrary, only sincerity can make her feel more comfortable.

Of course, everything he said was his true thoughts. He really felt it was strange, but not unreasonable.

"But, Sister Ganyu, it's good to like work, but I don't think it conflicts with your rest."

"I'm a half-immortal, it's okay."

"Even so, you'll eventually get tired, right? Even if you're an immortal, I don't think you can keep working all the time. You'll always get hurt."

Yu Xiuwen's tone suddenly became persistent. Ganyu was shocked by his momentum and nodded subconsciously.

"I understand."

"Well, I like practicing swordsmanship, but I can't practice all the time. Although immortals may have stronger physiques than me, I think everyone needs rest. Sister Ganyu, besides work, what else do you like to do? If you're tired from work, you can do something else."

"Eh? Outside of work? No, no, do you like Qingxinsuan?"

Ganyu looked confused.

"Eat Qingxin?" Yu Xiuwen's mouth twitched. "I guess so, but it's just a favorite meal, not an extra break."

This time Ganyu really couldn't say anything.

Yu Xiuwen thought about it, his eyes lit up, "How about this, Sister Ganyu, do you have a job for the time being?"

"I can be busy."

"Then let's go shopping together. We can always find something you like. Just think of it as a way to relax!"

"what?"
