My frequent visitor is actually Liyue Qixing!

Seeing that someone finally cared about what she just said, Hutao couldn't wait to whisper.

"Is it different?" Xiang Ling recalled carefully.

Because she was helping to order when Shen He walked in, so she didn't notice any difference between the two.

"Atmosphere, atmosphere, eh... you don't understand." Hutao ignored Xiang Ling and raised her hand to accept the money that the person just handed over.

At this time, holding her favorite money in her hand seemed a little worried. She always felt that something was different, but she couldn't tell.

The peak period of more than an hour soon passed. There were many guests today, but they did not last too long.

Several people who had arranged to have dinner together also arrived, including Hutao, Yun Jin, Xin Yan, Qiqi, Yaoyao and Xingqiu, as well as Zhongli and Shen He, who only delivered a few takeaways and was left behind.

Originally, everyone was just invited to come over for a small gathering, but when they all came over, they found that there were so many people in the house.

Yun Jin saw a few people who had never appeared in the small gathering, and asked Hu Tao in a low voice: "What is going on? Why are Mr. Zhongli and the others here?"

"I'm not sure." The uneasy feeling in Hu Tao's heart became stronger and stronger, and she didn't want to talk at this moment.

They stayed here all night, and Lu Qingci didn't even reveal how many people he invited.

It's mysterious and feels a bit solemn.

I thought it was just an ordinary party, but I didn't expect so many people.

"It seems that the master has something to say?" Xiang Ling on the side came over excitedly and whispered: "It should be about something like a restaurant, right?

Or maybe you just want to invite everyone you are close to for dinner.

After all, Xingqiu and the others have a very good relationship with my master on weekdays.

Maybe they want to introduce each other to each other. "

Looking at Xiang Ling, who also seemed to know nothing, Hu Tao's uneasy feeling became stronger. She suddenly raised her head and looked opposite. Zhong Li and Shen He, who were sitting opposite, looked thoughtful.

The table they were sitting at was a large table pushed together outside.

Because an ordinary large table cannot seat so many of them, the two of them put together are just right, and there is still a lot of room.

Seven seven

, Yaoyao, Hutao, Yun Jin, and Xin Yan sit on the left side of the table, while Xingqiu, Zhongli, Lu Qingci, Shen He, and Xiangling sit on the right side.

But at this moment, Lu Qingci did not sit down, but was busy in the kitchen.

Qiqi and Yaoyao helped in the past, and Xiangling, who had been helping out, was pushed out to chat with a few people.

"Does Zhongli think there's something strange about him?" Hutao, who had been catching eyes everywhere, noticed that Zhongli was also a bit strange and asked.

I originally thought it would lead to a long speech from the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party just shook his head and said: "Everything is free and quantitative."

Hutao curled her lips and thought to herself, "No one at this table knows anything today." '

After some inquiring, I found that no one knew anything. Only Zhongli and Shen He might know something, but these two people's mouths were so strict that they couldn't dig out even a single word even if they tried their best.

I could only drink the juice in front of me depressedly, while waiting for the busy figure over there to move faster, and then quickly tell the story.

The man on the other side in the kitchen didn't know the struggle of the people at the table. Maybe he knew, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

While cutting the vegetables in his hands, he looked at the two little lolita squatting next to the trash can, peeling a small lump of garlic, and a smile couldn't help but appear in their eyes.

These two little cubs, squatting down just a little bit, look really cute.

"Brother Lu, you have so many friends!" Yaoyao used her short fingers to peel garlic, raised her little face, and said to Lu Qingci excitedly: "I thought Brother Lu was busy on weekdays. When I'm at work, I don't have much time to make friends.

Yaoyao is so happy to see you have so many friends today. "

"Are you tired, Yaoyao?" Lu Qingci slightly curved his lips and said with a gentle smile, "If you are tired, go over with Qiqi to rest."

"It's not tiring." Yaoyao shook her head, then looked aside, looking at the face of Qi Qi who was trying to peel garlic, "You see, Qi Qi also likes to help Brother Lu work!

On our way here today, we told you that you must not be busy alone today.

After all, there are so many of us gathering together, but if you don’t do everything by yourself, it will be too hard for you. "

Hearing what the little loli in front of him said, Lu Qingci silently handed over the other garlic in his hand.

"But why did brother Lu suddenly invite so many people to come to the party today?" After Yaoyao took the garlic, her expression did not change at all. Instead, she felt happy that she could help Lu Qingci.

She wrinkled her nose, and then continued: "I thought it was just me and Qiqi, and then there might be one or two other people.

If we had known there would be so many people, we would have brought more gifts. "

The gift in Yaoyao's hand is the wild fruit she and Qiqi picked together.

Each one is ripe and red, exuding a fruity aroma, and is currently piled on the table nearby.

This much fruit was probably enough for everyone present to get one or two. She originally thought that everyone could get three or four.

"It's my problem. I didn't tell you in advance that there were so many people." Lu Qingci smiled and said, "But there is no need to bring any gifts. After all, I said I would take you to dinner."

"How about that?" Yaoyao shook her head, and the bells on her hair accessories made a jingling sound. She said, "But it's not your problem, brother Lu. It's also because we didn't ask in advance."

-------------------------------------------

All the dishes were quickly prepared, and all the places on the table were placed. Everyone had a glass of fruit drink and a glass of wine in front of them, no matter which one they wanted to drink.

Lu Qingci no longer continued to be busy, but stayed in his position.

Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on his face, Lu Qingci coughed unnaturally, and then said:

"I called you here today. In addition to wanting to get together for a while, I also want to say goodbye to you in advance."

As soon as Lu Qingci said these words, the already quiet table could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes changed when they stared at him, except for Zhongli and Shen He beside him.

"What are you talking about?" Xiang Ling on the side said in disbelief, but soon her sleeve was pulled by Hu Tao on the side, and she could only become quiet again.

"Originally, I planned to wait until I was almost done eating before I said it, but I felt like you guys had guessed something, so I just said it directly."

Lu Qingci wanted to give everyone a comforting look, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"What are you saying goodbye?" Yun Jin on the side saw that everyone's expressions were a bit wrong, so she quickly smiled and said: "Are you going to leave temporarily for a few days? If something happens, go and get busy as soon as possible.

Or do you feel uncomfortable somewhere and want to rest for a few days? "

"Yes, we are indeed leaving temporarily." Lu Qingci stopped abruptly a few days ago. Xiangling's soft sobs could be heard in his ears, but he could only continue to bite the bullet. explain:

“Not long after it opened, I said that after I saved up some money, I planned to go see the beautiful scenery everywhere.

After all, I have been in this world for so long,

822

I haven't seen the view anywhere else. "

Everyone else didn't have much reaction when they heard this, because Lu Qingci did mention this matter more than once.

And they should naturally understand Lu Qingci's "coming into this world" as meaning that he was born in this world.

"Not long ago, I realized that I seemed to have almost saved enough."

Lu Qingci patted his backpack. It still looked flat on the outside, but only he knew how much money and treasures would be inside the backpack if he opened it himself.

"But don't be too sad." When Lu Qingci said this, he patted Xiang Ling's shoulder opposite him, and then said: "Maybe I feel a little tired after going to one or two places, and I want to come back and stay for a while. The time is uncertain.

I will not sell this restaurant, nor will I redeem it.

Maybe when you pass by here one day, you will find that it is suddenly open for business again. "

"Can you take me with you?" Xiang Ling said softly, "Anyway, I used to run around alone."

"But I may go to a very far place, and it's not necessarily when I will return." Lu Qingci said softly: "Master Mao has been waiting for you for a long time when you were running around.

If you come with me, you may go to further countries, not just to neighboring countries like Mondstadt.

It may be difficult to meet him by then, and although Master Mao is not very old, he is still old enough to get sick occasionally. "

After Xiangling heard this sentence, she nodded silently.

She already knew that her master had made all preparations and had prepared lines to deal with everyone.

Not just herself, even if other people present said that they wanted to be together, her master must have already thought of the words to respond.

"I knew there would be nothing good today." Hu Tao, who had already had a premonition, was as emotional as Xiang Ling. Although she didn't cry directly like Xiang Ling, her voice was slightly trembling.

"Have you known this for a long time? And you." She not only looked at Zhongli and Shen He who were sitting opposite and had been silent, but the two people opposite still chose to remain silent.

"Sister Hutao, don't do this."

On the side, Yaoyao noticed that Hu Tao was also in a bad mood, so she opened her mouth to comfort her. Just when she wanted to ask Yun Jin, who was in a relatively stable mood, to persuade her, she found that Yun Jin, who had just managed a smile just now, also looked very ugly at this time.

She opened her mouth, but did not think of any words of persuasion, so she continued: "Brother Lu also said that he will come back to take a look after a while.

After all, Liyue is also his home, right! "

She also felt very sad. After all, Lu Qingci was like her brother.

He provided care and advice and was the second person she met in Liyue who was like a family member.

"Yes, I will come back and take a look every once in a while."

Lu Qingci didn't know that their reaction would be so big. Although there were a few people present who didn't say anything, it could still be seen from their faces that their hearts were no better than the excited two people.

Shen He on the side had quietly pinched his fingertips under the table. Lu Qingci turned his head and saw Shen He's slightly lowered face with some reluctance.

He knew that everyone really wanted him to stay, but since the decision had been made and the preparations had been made for so long, he didn't think he could just let it go.

"Don't be so sad." Lu Qingci said again: "Just think that I went to another country to deal with some things, and I might come back in a few days.

Thinking about it this way, will you feel better? "

"Ying said the same thing before." Xiangling curled her lips, and two more crystal clear tears seemed to fall from her eyes. "She also said before that she would come over to play with me soon, but she hasn't yet. any news.

Maybe Master, you are the same. Now you have said here that you will come back in a few days, and you will come back every once in a while, but maybe after you leave, we will not even be able to see you at all. "

Many people present also knew the traveler, so when they mentioned the person who had been gone for several months and there was no news, they couldn't help but connect based on Xiang Ling's words.

"That's not the case." Lu Qingci waved his hand, and then said: "You are going to Dao's Wife. Dao's Wife is currently under lockdown and naturally cannot come out easily.

They should be back after they finish their business there.

I won’t go to a locked-down country, so you don’t have to worry. "

"Then can you go to a few places and come back to stay for a while?" Yun Jin, who was silent at the side, suddenly asked.

Looking at the other party's somewhat ugly expression, Lu Qingci nodded in front of everyone, and then said: "Definitely."

Now everyone's faces looked better. They only went to one or two places and came back to take a look. If they stayed for a period of time, that is to say, they would come back every three or four months or five or six months.

That doesn't sound like much.

After all, it's just going out, not saying goodbye forever.

"Okay, okay, don't look so ugly." Xin Yan raised his cup and then took the lead in saying to Lu Qingci: "Then I wish you a safe journey in advance.

I also often go to other countries from time to time

823

There is a concert at home, and it takes a month or two, or even longer.

If you think about it this way, in fact, you won't be gone for a long time. It seems that you are not much different from us.

There are also Yaoyao, Qiqi and the others. I often go to collect herbs. Do I have to walk for several days?

It's just that Lu Qingci has a store here and will close it for a while, which will make you feel a greater sense of gap. In fact, it's nothing. "

After hearing Xin Yan's words, everyone's expressions softened.

Then they all raised their cups and said some words of advice to Lu Qingci.

Xiangling wiped her tears, raised her cup and said she would wait for him to come back. She also said that if she missed him, she would definitely go and play with him.

In a place where no one could see, Hu Tao gently wiped away the tears that had not had time to gather and fall from the corner of his eyes.

Xiangling could still fight for the opportunity to travel with Lu Qingci, but she didn't and she couldn't.

There was no way to close the Hall of Rebirth, and she couldn't leave everything behind so freely.
