"Huh... That was close, that was close. I almost died."

Xingqiu stood on the street, patted his chest fiercely, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You..." Chongyun shook his head helplessly, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xingqiu.

Xingqiu took it with a smile and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stuffed it into his pocket, "Let's go, let's go to the next place."

"Huh? Where else to go?"

Chongyun looked puzzled and followed Xingqiu.

He thought he was going to Yunhan Society, but he didn't expect it to be the case.

"As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, and gifts... of course they have to be packaged."

Xingqiu smiled and blinked, and walked quickly to Mingxingzhai, "Boss, please help me pick a beautiful box."

"What did you say, customer?" The owner of Mingxingzhai couldn't believe what he heard.

She looked at the customer in front of her in confusion, "Excuse me, please repeat it again."

"Boss, you heard me right, I want to buy a nice and suitable box to put the tea in my hand as a gift."

Xingqiu repeated his words again and explained his intention and requirements for buying the box.

"I'm sorry, customer."

"Our Mingxingzhai is a century-old jewelry store in Liyue, and we don't sell boxes alone."

The owner of Mingxingzhai thought that the customer in front of him would give up the idea after explaining the situation.

Unexpectedly, the next second, he heard the other party say: "Then just treat me as if I'm here to buy jewelry, and give me a box suitable for tea."

"Customer...are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Xingqiu nodded seriously.

The owner of Mingxingzhai couldn't say anything more about this.

It's a fool not to make money, and the other party's request was not unreasonable.

After a while, the owner of Mingxingzhai took out the jewelry selected by Xingqiu, and then helped to take out a few good boxes for Xingqiu to choose.

Xingqiu's eyes moved back and forth among several boxes, and finally locked onto the box on the far right.

It was carefully carved from a piece of untextured ebony, with an oily and smooth surface, like the deep color of obsidian.

The edges and corners of the box were finely polished, without any extra decoration, and every line looked extremely smooth.

A small silver button was inlaid on the lid, which contrasted particularly well with the ebony, and was both simple and low-key and luxurious.

"That's it."

Xingqiu happily put the tea leaves in it, and as for the jewelry he just bought, he put it in his pocket.

Seeing this scene, the owner of Mingxingzhai was a little amused.

This is the first time I have seen someone buy things in a jewelry store like this.

......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the entrance of Yunhanshe was full of guests who came to listen to the opera.

They lined up in two long lines and waited patiently to check the tickets in their hands to enter.

There were two large red pillars at the entrance, inlaid with golden dragon and phoenix patterns, which looked solemn and magnificent.

"Wow, so many people are queuing up to listen to the opera so early."

Xingqiu walked over with the prepared gifts, only to find that there was a roadblock at the entrance.

Only the two queues could pass normally.

"It seems that we can only queue up first."

Xingqiu originally planned to find Yunjin before she went on stage and tell her his purpose.

Now it seems that it won't work.

Looking at the crowd in front, I'm afraid that the performance will start soon when the two enter.

"Xingqiu and Chongyun, what a coincidence."

"Are you here to listen to the opera too?"

Yanfei waved enthusiastically to the two people who were preparing to queue up not far away.

Behind her were Fischl and Oz.

"What a coincidence." Xingqiu smiled and nodded.

The four people lined up together, waiting to enter.

It was their turn soon.

"Please show me your ticket." A Feng, a staff member of Yunhan Society, said with a smile while holding the seal in his hand, and reached out to take the ticket handed over by Yan Fei.

After checking that it was correct, he stamped the ticket, "No problem, you can go in."

A Feng repeated the same words and actions, and checked the remaining Fischl and Chongyun.

He set his eyes on the last of the four, Xingqiu, and the smile on his face became more familiar, "Good afternoon, Master Xingqiu. I haven't seen you come to listen to the opera for a while. Are you free now?"

"Yes, I was busy some time ago, and I only got free recently."

Xingqiu handed over the ticket with a smile, and continued: "By the way, after checking the tickets later, please tell Yun Jin for me. I have something to talk to him later."

"There are two performances today, and I'm afraid it will be performed until the evening. Miss Yun Jin may not be free at that time."Hearing what Afeng said, Xingqiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If he really waited until the evening, it might be too late.

"Then please arrange it for me during the intermission."

"Please, please, it's really urgent."

"I will thank you very much if it's done."

Xingqiu took the stamped ticket handed over by Afeng and winked at him.

"Since Master Xingqiu has said so, I will try my best."

"I'm not sure whether Miss Yunjin will agree, so don't hold too much hope."

"Thank you very much, I understand."

Xingqiu smiled gratefully.

The four of them successfully entered from the gate, lifted the curtain that blocked the light, entered the stage, and sat down according to the seat order on the ticket.

Although the seats were not adjacent, they were not far away and were nearby.

A few minutes later, the candles around gradually went out and the light dimmed. The performance on the stage began.

The drums gradually sounded, the curtain was slowly pulled open, and a bright light shone in the center of the stage, revealing a figure.

Accompanied by the melodious music, the figure moved.

"How sad -"

"The years are like burning and wasted..."

Yun Jin's opera voice was full of lamentations for the changes in things and people, the voice was gentle and the tune was sad.

Singing, reciting, acting, fighting, movement and stillness were appropriate, the scene changed rapidly, and it was fascinating.

The singing, dancing and vocal music were intertwined, the plot was ups and downs, and the details were subtle, making the audience present intoxicated, as if they were in that story of joys and sorrows.

"Ask the world what love is -"

"It only makes people - live - die - promise -"

As the last sound of the music stopped, Yun Jin's figure also stopped there.

The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into thunderous applause.

"Master Yun! Master Yun!"

"Wow... So touching..."

"It makes me feel so sad, and I think of my youth..."

"I suddenly miss my old partner who left."

"Is this the story of Liyue? Wow... This princess... I really can't help it... Hiccup..."

Many people were moved by the performance, and some even started to wipe their tears.

Even Fischl, who was listening to the play for the first time, was moved.

She covered her chest with pain and reached out to wipe her tears.

Her eyes were as red as a little rabbit.

She cried and hiccuped.

Yan Fei, who was sitting next to her, was also affected by the play, and her eyes were red.

But her reaction was not as strong as Fischl's.

"Thank you for your applause. Next is a ten-minute break, and then other members of Yunhan Society will bring the next performance. I hope you like it."

Yun Jin bowed slightly to the audience and left the stage as the curtain slowly fell.

At the same time, Afeng quietly came to Xingqiu's side and whispered, "Master Xingqiu, please follow me."
