Three days later, the egrets were covered with frost.

"Linghua!" Xiao Gong's voice came from afar, with her unique enthusiasm and vitality.

At that moment, Kamisato Ayaka was busy in the shop with Xinyang, debugging a new milk tea recipe. Upon hearing that familiar call, Ayaka's face immediately broke into a smile of surprise, and her hands stopped moving.

"It's Xiaogong!" Linghua said, walking quickly towards the store door.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Xinyang also followed him out.

When the two walked to the door of the store, they saw Xiao Gong carrying a large bulging backpack, with a bright smile on his face, waving at them.

Looking at the backpack on Xiao Gong's back, Ling Hua felt a surge of mixed emotions: "Xiao Gong, are you leaving?"

Xiao Gong smiled brightly. "Well, I've been here for a long time this time. I don't know if Dad is still busy. There must be a lot of work piled up in the store. I have to go back and help."

Ying and Paimeng jumped out from behind Xiao Gong: "Linghua, we have to leave too and continue our journey."

Paimon spun in the air. "I'm a little reluctant to leave Bai Lu Shuang Hua, the delicious milk tea here, and Xin Yang's face that always urges me to work. But we are travelers. As Teyvat's best guide, I want to take Ying to see more magical places and find more interesting things! Maybe we can even discover the secret recipe for making super delicious milk tea. I'll bring it back and share it with you!"

Xinyang smiled helplessly: "In your mind, I only urge you to work, right?"

Linghua nodded slightly, her eyes filled with reluctance. "I understand that journeys are always full of unknowns and surprises. I wish you a safe journey. Come in and have a seat. I'll prepare some snacks for you on the way, and bring you some freshly brewed milk tea."

As everyone walked into the store, Linghua and Xinyang started to get busy.

"Linghua, don't bother. We're on a boat prepared by the General Affairs Department, and we've got food and drinks all on board." Xiaogong stepped forward. "I understand your and Xinyang's intentions, but there's really no need to go to all this trouble."

Linghua shook her head and said gently, "How can this be? The ones we prepare ourselves will be more to our taste. Besides, these are my thoughts. If you can't get used to the food on the boat, you can fill your stomach with them." As she spoke, she did not stop her hands and continued to carefully pack the snacks.

Xin Yang also echoed: "That's right, don't mention it, it will be done soon."

After a while, Linghua handed the box full of snacks and the thermos to Xiaogong, Ying and Paimong.

Ying took the things and said gratefully, "Linghua, Xinyang, thank you so much. We have received your kindness. When we come back, we will definitely bring back a lot of stories and surprises."

"Hehe, when we find a great milk tea recipe, we will definitely bring it back to you first!" Paimeng said excitedly, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Xinyang smiled and said, "Okay, we're looking forward to your new recipe. If you come across anything interesting on the road, remember to write and tell us."

Xiao Gong carefully placed the things in his backpack, then walked over and gave Linghua and Xinyang a big hug. "Thank you for taking care of me during this time. Once I finish my business at Dad's shop, I'll be able to come and play with you again."

"Maybe he'll come to Mond to find us then."

Xiao Gong's eyes lit up, and he released the hug, saying excitedly, "Yes, if you're in Mondstadt by then, I'll definitely come find you! I heard the Wind Flower Festival in Mondstadt is really lively, with flowers and delicious food everywhere."

"Hehe, when you go to Mond, go find that street singer. Even though he's a little off, he's still a pretty good guide." Paimon added with a grin.

Linghua tilted her head slightly, a puzzled look on her face. "A street singer? Are you talking about Wendy?"

Ying smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's Wendy. Even though he usually looks lazy and casual and loves to drink cider, he knows Mondstadt's history, geography, and all the hidden beauties and interesting places like the back of his hand."

"I see. Wendy and I are old acquaintances. Perhaps our Egret Frost Huamond branch will need his help."

Xiao Gong rubbed his hands excitedly. "You really want to open Bailu Shuanghua in Mondstadt? It's a deal then! When we meet in Mondstadt, we must have a cup of Bailu Shuanghua milk tea."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the store, and a man who looked like a sailor appeared at the door and said breathlessly, "Miss Xiao Gong, the ship is about to leave. You must hurry and get on board."

Hearing the sailor's urging, although everyone was reluctant in their hearts, their faces were still filled with anticipation for the future.

Xiao Gong hugged Linghua and Xinyang tightly and said with a smile, "I'm leaving now. Wait for me to prepare a surprise for you in Mondstadt!"

Linghua also smiled brightly in return, "Have a safe trip! We'll be waiting for you in Mondstadt, and then we can do something great together!"

Xinyang patted Xiaogong's shoulder and said, "Remember to keep in touch. We'll also be making preparations for going to Mondstadt!"

Ying stepped forward, exchanged glances with Linghua and Xinyang, and said firmly, "We'll definitely meet again. We'll come back with new stories and discoveries!"

Paimon flew around happily in the air. "Hey, don't be so sad. We'll see each other soon! I can't wait to play with you guys in Mondstadt!"

The sailor urged them again, and Xiao Gong, Ying, and Paimeng turned and walked towards the store entrance. When they reached the door, they all turned back and waved vigorously towards Ling Hua and Xin Yang.

"Goodbye!" The three voices were full of energy.

"Goodbye! Looking forward to seeing you again!" Linghua and Xinyang responded with a smile and waved their arms.
