Everyone suddenly realized!
You damn Morax! You can't handle this energetic leader yourself, so you shift the blame to her and let her cause trouble for us!
"How can we let that old Deng get away with this!"
Qingyu slapped his thigh.
"He's pushing the trouble onto us, so can't we push it onto someone else? Let's go! Let's mess with Xiangling! Let's go to Wanmintang for a free meal!"
The proposal was passed unanimously (including by Zhang Chu, who was still in a daze, and Gu Qian, who was in an AFK state).
Instead of listening to Walnut's coffin sales pitch, why not go and enjoy some delicious food!
------
"So... you came to Wanmin Hall to avoid Master Hu Tao?"
Xiangling, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looked at the strange people who had suddenly filled her Wanmintang restaurant with a look of bewilderment.
The rice crust sizzled at her feet, curiously observing the regular customers.
Xingqiu and Chongyun, who were eating at a small table behind them, also looked up.
Xingqiu forgot to turn the pages of the book in his hands, and a drop of sugar water dripped from the popsicle in Chongyun's mouth.
"What a simple yet wise reason..."
Xingqiu closed the book and said with a smile, as if to say, "I've seen through the truth," his eyes gleaming with amusement.
Chongyun took a big gulp of his popsicle, nodded repeatedly, and mumbled, "Mmm! Avoiding trouble... Wanmintang, wise!"
After all, there's no problem that a good meal from Xiangling can't solve.
Actually, we were hungry and wanted to eat something.
Paimon floated in the air, rubbing his little hands together, his eyes already glancing towards the kitchen.
"The Wolf King was borrowed by True Lord Liuyun and the others, who said they were going to research some kind of 'ultimate fusion of mechanical cooking techniques,' so we came to Wanmin Hall for a treat!"
"Thank you for your help, Xiangling."
Ying smiled and handed over a bag of Mora.
"Bring out all your delicious signature dishes!"
Having experienced the farce at Wuwangpo and the emotional shock of Hu Tao, I desperately need some delicious food to recharge.
"Okay! No problem! I've got it covered!"
The moment cooking is mentioned, Xiangling immediately becomes energetic and her eyes light up.
"I've just finished researching a new recipe, 'Slime Gel Mushroom,' and I guarantee it will leave a lasting impression on you!"
After saying that, she turned around and rushed into the kitchen.
Everyone (except Gu Qian, who had blind faith in food) shuddered when they heard the name of the dish.
"Alright, let's go inside and wait..."
Ying turned around, but stopped mid-sentence.
She noticed that Qingyu, Erkang, Zhang Chu, and Gu Qian hadn't followed her into the store. Instead, they stood frozen at the entrance of Wanmintang, like four petrified statues, staring intently in one direction of the street.
The four of them stood in a row, their movements perfectly synchronized, even the angle at which their heads turned was exactly the same, as if they had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.
"What are you doing?"
Ying curiously followed their gaze.
Then, she too froze.
Paimon, Xingqiu, and Chongyun also curiously came over to take a look.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Chihuyan Street seemed to be muted; all the passersby stopped in their tracks, mouths agape, staring at the unbelievable scene unfolding in the middle of the street—
Shen He, with his aloof demeanor and ethereal beauty, was seen carrying a person in a very... bizarre way!
And what she was holding in her hand was none other than the shrewd, capable, and elegant intelligence expert who always lurked in the shadows—Ye Lan!
Shen He remained expressionless, his steps steady, as if he were carrying not a living person, but a bundle of light reeds.
She would even occasionally flip the Night Orchid over and look at it in her hand with her icy blue eyes, as if confirming something.
The night-blooming jasmine being carried...
She still habitually held a die in one hand, while the other hand helplessly supported her forehead. Her face wore a complex expression that combined "life is meaningless," "it's become the norm," "public execution," and "damn it, when will this ever end?"
She didn't even bother to struggle, simply letting Shen He carry her calmly across the once bustling but now completely silent street.
That expression clearly said: Look, look, look all you want, when you're tired, just destroy it.
"What the hell... 'Weak Heart Lord' has chased us all the way to Teyvat?!"
Gu Qian was so shocked that his huge body swayed, and his voice was like muffled thunder.
Zhang Chu coughed awkwardly, his face under the mask probably already bright red. He scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "Well... it seems... maybe... probably... when I used the vacuum cleaner to clean Shen He's destiny last time... I made a mistake... and accidentally slipped in some of my deepest... um... rather deep-rooted 'stereotypes'..."
("Weak Heart True Lord" is a nickname given by Bilibili users to a famous Genshin Impact fan artist, known for his exquisite artwork depicting numerous intimate interactions between Shen He and Ye Lan, especially various iconic "hug" scenes. He is considered the number one fan and content creator for this pairing. However, in reality, Shen He and Ye Lan rarely meet in the game, and their interactions are almost nonexistent.)
But now... this scene before me is incredibly realistic, incredibly shocking, and perfectly in line with the style of a teacher with a "weak heart"...
It seems that the pairing created by this talented author is about to become a reality in Teyvat in an extremely outrageous way!!
Xingqiu quickly pulled out paper and pen, his eyes gleaming: "Absolutely amazing material!!"
The popsicle in Chongyun's mouth fell completely to the ground.
Paimon's little head darted back and forth between Shen He, Ye Lan, and the guilty-looking Zhang Chu, its CPU practically overheating.
Ying silently covered her face, peeking through her fingers at the shocking scene, her mind filled with only one thought: Zhang Chu, you've caused a huge disaster! If Ningguang or Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun found out... wouldn't Wanmin Hall turn into a real "Hall of Rebirth" appointment site today?!
Chapter 64: About the incident where I was forced into a CP with a fairy and was dragged around the streets by her
"Huh? It's you."
Shen He stopped in his tracks, his cool gaze sweeping over the group of people petrified at the entrance of Wanmin Hall. He nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
Her stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless, as if carrying Liyue's top intelligence officer in one hand or a cat by the scruff of its neck while walking down Tiger Rock Street was the most normal thing in the world.
"Ahem... Um... Shen He..."
Ying was the first to recover from the huge shock. She carefully pointed to Ye Lan, who was being held by Shen He and had completely given up struggling, exuding an aura of "life is meaningless". Her voice was a little distorted.
"You... what are you doing...?"
"Her name is Ye Lan."
Shen He introduced the vegetables succinctly, his tone as flat as if he were introducing "this is a radish, this is a cabbage".
"We just met."
She added, then tilted her head slightly, a rare hint of genuine confusion showing in her icy blue eyes.
“I don’t understand why, whenever I see her, my body can’t help but want to take her with me… I take her everywhere I go.”
She paused, gently pressing her free hand against her left chest, her brow furrowing slightly as if carefully sensing some unfamiliar emotion: "And... here, when I see her, or touch her, my heart races, and I feel a little hot. Is this feeling... 'love at first sight'?"
She looked up and earnestly sought confirmation from her friends, who seemed to be very experienced (at least more experienced than her).
Where did you even know the word "heart-fluttering"?!
Qingyu almost dropped his mask in shock and blurted out a complaint.
Your vocabulary has improved so fast! Who taught you?
Shen He pointed to a girl who had just passed by and was watching them, blushing and whispering: "I asked that person on the way here. When she saw Ye Lan and me, she excitedly shouted, 'It's the feeling of being smitten!' So I asked her what it meant."
Everyone: "..." (That unknown girl, you're shipping couples, fine, but why are you giving a live tutorial?!)
"So... Shen He..."
Finally, Ye Lan, who was being dragged along, couldn't hold back any longer. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Shen He's beautiful profile, which was so close to her and completely expressionless. She said in an almost pleading tone, "Could you... let me go first? It's not convenient to talk like this."
She tried to move, but found that Shen He's fingerprints didn't budge.
Upon hearing this, Shen He glanced at Ye Lan, then looked up at the signboard of Wanmintang, seemingly making an important decision.
Then, she said very naturally, "Perfect, we can have a meal together."
The tone was as if it were "just on the way".
After saying that, she completely ignored the petrified expressions of everyone and walked steadily into Wanmin Hall, carrying the lifeless Yelan in one hand. She even nodded very politely to the dumbfounded Xiangling and Guoba.
Everyone: "…………"
No! Ms. Shen He! Did you misuse the words "just right" and "can"?
And isn't there some fundamental misunderstanding in your approach to "bringing her along"?
Finally, an extremely bizarre scene appeared next to the largest round table in Wanmin Hall: Shen He and Ye Lan were sitting side by side.
Shen He sat upright, his demeanor impeccable, and even carefully set out the bowls and chopsticks for Ye Lan.
Ye Lan held her forehead with one hand, and with the other hand, she held her chopsticks listlessly, mechanically tasting the "golden shrimp balls" in front of her.
She had tried to run away, but every time she showed any sign of getting up, Shen He's hand, which seemed to be casually resting on the back of the chair, would swiftly and precisely press down on her shoulder, the force gentle yet irresistible.
In terms of reaction and speed, this top human intelligence expert had absolutely no chance against a disciple of the immortals who was determined to "take her along".
Ye Lan was inwardly weeping: How am I supposed to explain that I'm being 'forced into love' by a beautiful fairy and forced to have lunch with her?! Forget it, Ning Guang's budget for this month needs to be doubled! Otherwise, it'll be a waste of my emotional distress!
Thinking of this, Ye Lan took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, turning her grief and anger into appetite, and began to seriously and attentively savor the food in front of her—after all, the food at Wanmintang was indeed delicious.
As for the one next to him... let's just consider him a clingy, extremely strong, and incredibly powerful... food buddy.
Across the table, Qingyu, Erkang, Zhang Chu, Ying, Paimeng, Xingqiu, and Chongyun all scanned Shen He, Yelan, and the guilty-looking culprit Zhang Chu with a mixture of shock, sympathy, suppressed laughter, and frantic gossip.
Paimon whispered to Luminous, "Traveler, I feel... Liyue's harbor... is about to become even more 'exciting' than before..."
Ying silently took a sip of water, expressing her deep agreement.
She could already foresee how many chaotic and hilarious events would unfold in the future.
All of this stemmed from a certain Thug's accidental "fate vacuum cleaner" operation.
