Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Night fell quickly. It was very windy tonight. Even though the doors and windows were closed, I could still feel the breeze.

Xinyang was not in a hurry and sat quietly in his room, concentrating on observing whether there was anyone moving around in Kamisato's house.

There was no sound in Linghua's room until late at night. Just when Xinyang thought he was going to return empty-handed, Linghua quietly got up. Although the sound was small, Xinyang still caught it. The opportunity had come.

In order to make as little noise as possible, Linghua did not wear shoes. She gently pushed open the door and poked her head out. She looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one there, she tiptoed to the hall like a little mouse.

Linghua skillfully turned on the kettle to boil water. Since it was late at night, Linghua only dared to boil water over a low fire. While boiling the water, she quietly walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing Linghua was about to make tea, Xinyang remembered that Thomas once mentioned that Linghua would sometimes secretly make some tea-soaked rice when no one was around. It seemed that Linghua must have not eaten well that day, and wanted to secretly make some tea-soaked rice when no one was around at night.

This won't do. If I let Linghua make tea rice porridge, how can I implement my plan? If I can't implement it perfectly, then this misunderstanding will always exist between me and Linghua, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

While Linghua went to the kitchen, Xinyang quietly used the wind element to blow out the small fire that Linghua had just started.

When Linghua came to the hall with a bowl of rice, she saw that the small fire had gone out. She thought she didn't control the temperature well, so she tried to light it again. But just as she lit the small fire, a strong wind blew outside the house. Although the doors and windows were closed, the fire was still blown out. After repeating this several times, Linghua was very upset, but helpless. It seemed that she had to go hungry today. As she thought about it, Linghua's eyes gradually became moist.

Noticing that Linghua was in a bad mood, Xinyang realized that things had gotten out of hand.

Xinyang deliberately made noises in the room. When Linghua heard it, she instinctively wanted to return to the room, but Xinyang and Linghua's rooms were opposite each other, so how could she not be seen by Xinyang?

As soon as Xinyang opened the door, he saw Linghua running towards him in a panic. He pretended to be still asleep and yawned, "Linghua, what are you doing here so late? And you're holding a bowl."

Linghua pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. I can't sleep so I just take a walk. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep."

As soon as Linghua turned around, her stomach made a rumbling sound. Linghua stopped unconsciously and touched her stomach.

"What's that sound? Did you hear it?"

Linghua's face turned red. "I didn't hear it. You must have heard it wrongly."

Seeing that Linghua was still reserved, Xinyang gave her a way out. "Maybe, I haven't eaten much today and I'm a little hungry. I heard it wrong. I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Do you want to have a simple meal together?"

Linghua touched her rumbling stomach, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Along the way, the two of them had their own ulterior motives and did not talk much.

When they got to the kitchen, Xinyang took the bowl that Linghua had hidden behind her back and said, "Come to me when you're hungry. I don't dislike you."

Linghua ignored her and asked, "You just said you haven't eaten all day, why?"

"It's still this Yaedou light novel. I don't have any inspiration and I have no appetite at all."

Linghua looked at Xinyang with disdain. "But you clearly said you have a girl you like. You don't even know how to write a story about your own experience."

Xin Yang said innocently, "This light novel is indeed about my own story, but I've never really been in a relationship before. What's more, the prototype of this heroine doesn't even care about me right now, so how can I get any inspiration?"

Hearing Xin Yang say that, Ling Hua felt a bit gloating. "Humph, who told you to promise others so casually? Now look what happened. The person you like ignores you, and you don't have the inspiration to write a book. If you can't submit it on time, don't even think about the royalties. Yaedo will hold you accountable. You deserve it."

Xin Yang did not refute this but instead asked: "Then why are you ignoring me?"

Linghua was a little confused. "Huh? What do you mean I'm ignoring you? And what does your lack of inspiration have to do with me?"

"Of course it's related, and it's a big one, because you are the prototype of the heroine of my novel."

Upon hearing this, Linghua's brain froze, and it took her a long time to react. After she figured it out, Linghua's face turned red. "Oh, can you be serious and speak nicely? You have to go around in such a big circle, I... I..." Linghua became less and less confident as she spoke.

"What I said is not wrong. Look, you come from a famous family, haven't you ever expressed your feelings to me? Have you ever ignored me since you finished drawing the cover? There's nothing wrong with what I said."

The more Linghua listened, the redder her face became. She raised her fist and punched Xinyang, "Oh! Stop it."

Seeing Linghua's expression, Xinyang knew that the plan was a great success.

"Did you misunderstand something before? Not only did you ignore me but you also didn't eat properly."

"No, I...I just feel a little unwell. I feel unwell."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll just assume you're feeling a little unwell." Xin Yang changed the subject, "Then, Miss, are you feeling better now? Are you interested in having dinner with me?"

Linghua also adjusted her mood and said, "Okay, I'll have some midnight snack with you. But you have to cook quickly because I'm starving. And be quiet so as not to wake others up."

Xinyang opened the cupboard behind her and took out the dumplings she had already made. "I've already prepared them, Miss. Just wait a moment, they'll be ready soon."

Soon two plates of steaming dumplings were brought to Linghua.

"This is Liyue's traditional delicacy and my favorite food—dumplings. Wait a moment, some things haven't been brought here yet."

When Xinyang brought the vinegar and garlic to Linghua, Linghua couldn't help but ask, "Aren't these for seasoning? Why are they being taken out separately now? And the garlic smells so strong."

"That's what you don't understand. Dumplings should be dipped in vinegar and eaten with garlic. Try eating a little. If you don't like it, you can just eat the dumplings."

Seeing Xinyang bite open the dumpling and fill it with vinegar before putting it in her mouth, Linghua picked up the dumpling skeptically and lightly added a little vinegar. Sure enough, it tasted much better than just eating the dumpling.

"Delicious! Why do these dumplings taste even better after being dipped in vinegar?"

"I don't know why, it's delicious. Eat it quickly, I'm almost starving." After saying that, he started to eat voraciously.

Seeing this, Linghua didn't care anymore. Who cares? It was delicious as long as it was good.
