Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Return to Bailu Shuanghua.

After hearing the news that Xianyun and Guizhong went outside together to inspect the defense mechanism, Aping could no longer sit still.

"Well, the two of them went out to have fun, leaving me here to watch the store."

While muttering to herself, Ping deftly arranged the chairs in the store, but she felt like there was a little rabbit in her heart and she couldn't contain herself anymore.

"No, I have to join in the fun too!" A Ping made up her mind and was about to go out.

Xin Yang, eager to watch the fun, took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Sister Ping, we just asked Master and Sister Gui Zhong, and they said they were going to check out Liyue's existing mechanisms. You don't know anything, so going there would only cause trouble."

When Ping heard this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by shock and disappointment.

"I'm causing trouble!? Xinyang, did they really say that?" Aping's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Xinyang.

Xinyang was frightened by Aping's aggressive questioning, but nodded bravely: "Yes... yes, Sister Aping, that's what Master and Sister Guizhong said." Although she felt a little uneasy, the words had already been spoken, so Xinyang could only pretend to be calm.

Ah Ping turned back to Linghua and confronted her: "Linghua, was what Xinyang just said true?"

Linghua rarely jokes with others on weekdays. Coupled with Ah Ping's sharp eyes at this time, Linghua was a little overwhelmed for a moment. She avoided her eyes and stammered, "Sister Ah Ping, I... I..."

Seeing Linghua's reaction, Ah Ping understood the whole story. She sneered and looked at Xinyang: "I say, Xinyang, you've grown wings, haven't you? You even dare to fool me."

Xinyang looked at Ah Ping with an embarrassed expression and said with a smile, "Sister Ah Ping, I was just in the mood to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Please be magnanimous and don't take it personally."

Linghua took Ah Ping's hand and said with an apologetic smile, "Sister Ah Ping, Xin Yang is ignorant, please don't be angry with him. We all know your abilities, and if you go, you will definitely be of great help. Otherwise, go find Master and Sister Gui Zhong now and show them your skills so that they can see how powerful you are."

Ah Ping patted Linghua's head and said, "You are the most sensible one. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't be angry with you. Well, since you said so, I won't make a fuss about it. I will go find Guizhong and the others. It has been a long time since I studied the mechanism with Guizhong and Xianyun."

When Xinyang heard that Ping wasn't serious, he came over with a playful smile and said, "Sister Ping, I knew you wouldn't make a fuss about me. Don't worry, I'll carry your bag and run errands for you on the way."

Ah Ping rolled her eyes at Xin Yang and said, "You're trying to slack off again. But you two shouldn't come with me this time. Xianyun and I are both gone, and someone needs to take care of the store. I can go by myself."

After saying that, A Ping gave a few more instructions before leaving Bai Lu Shuang Hua.

Linghua and Xinyang looked at each other at the same time, and there was a subtle silence in the air.

Then they both laughed at the same time. Linghua gently poked Xinyang's forehead: "You, can you change your habit of joking around? What if Sister Ping is really angry today?"

Xinyang chuckled, scratched his head, and took Linghua's hand that had poked him, saying coquettishly, "Honey, I'll be more careful next time. Besides, you see, it's nothing serious. Sister Ping is very tolerant and won't really make a fuss about it."

Linghua gently broke free from Xinyang's hand and said seriously, "That's because Sister Ping has a good temper. Don't take other people's tolerance as a pretext for your own willfulness. We're all family here at Bailu Shuanghua, so even jokes should be done within limits."

Xinyang nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "My dear wife, you are right. I will remember it."

"That's pretty much it."

"Alas~Brother Xinyang's status as a boss is still so low."

I don’t know when Shuili came behind them.

Xin Yang glanced at Shui Li and said, "Sister Ping is the elder, so naturally I have to respect her. Besides, I'm just doting on my wife, so how can I say she's of low status? Xiao Li, what do you know as a child?"

Shui Li pouted unconvincedly: "I'm not a child. I think Brother Xinyang is just afraid of his sister-in-law."

Linghua was amused by their bickering and said, "Alright, stop arguing, Xiaoli. We still have some milk tea cups that need to be sorted and put away, and some newly arrived tea leaves that need to be sorted and organized. Go help."

Linghua looked at Xinyang again and said, "Today, my senior sister said that there were some unusual noises coming from the milk tea making mechanism. Go check the milk tea equipment and see if there's anything that needs adjusting. Business has been good recently, so make sure nothing goes wrong."

Xinyang nodded and said, "Okay, my dear wife, I will ensure that I complete the task." Then he walked towards the milk tea making area and began to carefully check the equipment.

Although Shuili was still mumbling, she still went to tidy up the milk tea cups and tea leaves obediently.

It wasn't until the third day that Xianyun and Aping returned to Bailu Shuanghua. They looked a little tired, but their faces were filled with excitement.

Xinyang, Linghua and Shuili heard the door open and looked up at the same time. When they saw the two people coming back, they all showed surprised expressions.

"Master! Sister Aping! You are finally back. We missed you so much." Xinyang hurried to greet them.

Ah Ping smiled and rubbed Xinyang's head, jokingly saying, "Why, have you been lazy these past few days without us around?"

Xinyang quickly waved his hands. "How dare I, Sister Ping? You and Master are not here, and I'm the boss here after all. I can't just slack off. We've also been developing several new products these past few days."

Xianyun smiled and nodded, then walked to the side and sat down. "Let me tell you, Xinyang is a very reliable kid. But you, Ping, insisted on coming even though I told you not to. As a result, you slowed me down by at least a day."

Ah Ping stuck out her tongue: "Who told a certain woman to go out and play without asking me? I'm annoying you."

Linghua brought two cups of hot tea and handed them to Xianyun and Aping: "Master, Sister Aping, have some tea and take a break first. I have to go pick up a friend, so I won't be with you for now."
