Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Everyone raised their glasses, the crystal clear wine gleaming enticingly in the firelight. "Bon voyage!" everyone said in unison, their voices echoing through the snowy valley.

Xinyang and Linghua clinked glasses with everyone with gratitude, then took a sip, and the warmth flowed down their throats into their hearts.

Gui Zhong took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'd like to visit Mondstadt, the free city-state. Yesterday, I heard Wendy sing and play many stories about Mondstadt. The windmills turning with the wind, the wind that made dandelions fly all over the sky, and the bustling taverns—just listening to them was so relaxing. And the wine Wendy brought yesterday, while not as rich as Liyue's, has its own unique flavor."

Zhongli put down his glass and spoke slowly, "Mondstadt is famous for its winds and pastoral songs, and for advocating freedom and romance. Their music, poetry, and fine wine all have a unique charm. It's completely different from the rocky charm of Liyue, and I believe it will be a novel experience."

Ah Ping slapped her thigh and excitedly continued, "That's right! When you take a sip of that wine, it's refreshing at first, and then the full fruity aroma spreads in your mouth. However, the only drawback is that it doesn't have the same lingering aftertaste as our wine."

Xianyun teased from the side: "I didn't realize that Ping, you not only play musical instruments, but also have some accomplishments in wine."

"That's right. I've been appearing as an old man for too long, so long that you've all forgotten that I, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, also loved fine wine and delicious food back then." Ah Ping said with her hands on her hips, looking a little proud.

"A Ping, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, why did you change your appearance to that of an old man?" Gui Zhong looked at A Ping with curiosity, his eyes full of inquiry. "Back then, you, Xian Yun, and I were all so full of vigor and vitality. But when I opened my eyes again, you've become so old and frail."

Ah Ping was slightly startled, the smile on her face gradually faded, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes: "Your state of mind has become older... This is also partly due to you."

"My reason?" Gui Zhong pointed at himself in confusion.

Ping raised her head and gazed at the night sky, as if traveling through time and space, returning to the past. "Back then, we discussed music theory, delved into mechanical engineering, and protected Liyue together. We were so full of vigor and ambition. But then, your departure made me feel like I had lost a part of myself. I chose to manifest as an old man, wanting to appear closer to those lost times, as if that would bring me closer to you..."

Ah Ping wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "But now it's different. You're back, and I'm still myself, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun."

"A Ping..."

"Hehe, this is a gathering, not a sentimental meeting. Why are you all like this?" True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang interrupted.

Ah Ping quickly adjusted her mood, wiped away her tears, and put on that familiar bright smile again: "You're right. Now that Guizhong is back, we can chat and explore all kinds of new things like before."

"To welcome Gui Zhong back, and to celebrate Xin Yang and Ling Hua's upcoming journey to Mondstadt, let's have another drink!" said Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan, raising his glass.

Everyone responded, and the clinking of glasses created a clear and melodious sound that echoed for a long time in the snowy valley. This cup was filled with the joy of reunion and blessings for the future journey.

Everyone drank again, and then briefly chatted about Mondstadt's anecdotes and shared their expectations.

As the night deepened, Xianyun stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back to Liyue Harbor."

Linghua didn't want to leave so soon: "Master, please go first. I want to see the snowy scenery of Liyue again. It would be nice to have Xinyang accompany me."

Xianyun nodded slightly, his eyes full of understanding: "Okay, be careful and go back early."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Linghua and Xinyang walked side by side in the snow. Snow was still falling from the sky, and the snow fell slowly, landing on their shoulders and hair.

Xin Yang turned to look at Ling Hua, and seeing her eyes filled with intoxication, he couldn't help but ask, "Ling Hua, do you really like the snowy scenery in Liyue?"

Linghua nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. She said softly, "Well, the snow scenery in Liyue is different from that in Inazuma. It has a deeper and more stable feel. Moreover, appreciating it with you makes this scenery even more precious."

Xinyang smiled knowingly and gently held Linghua's hand, feeling the warmth of each other's fingertips. "In the future, we will see snow scenes in more places together, in Mondstadt, in Xumi... We will leave our footprints in every place."

The two walked slowly along the snow, leaving deep and shallow footprints on the white snow.

The two of them were enchanted by the beauty of the snowy valley. After an unknown amount of time, Xin Yang looked at the moon, which had already reached the zenith, and said softly, "Ling Hua, we should go back, or everyone will be worried."

Linghua reluctantly withdrew her gaze and nodded, "Well, time flies by so fast. Although I'm reluctant to leave, it's time to go back. Let's use the bamboo stars to hurry on."

Back at Chen Ge Hu, a warm breath hit me in the face.

"Home is still the warmest place. I'm a little tired after walking in the snow for so long." Linghua stretched slightly, and her delicate movements showed her delicate appearance.
