As the Lantern Festival approaches, the nights in Liyue are much more lively than usual.

Under the eaves of the houses along the street, colorful lanterns are like rosy clouds, and they look particularly dazzling in the bright full moon.

When the lights are on, the streets are bustling with people coming and going.

Feng followed Gu Yihan carefully, staring at the tall and slender back of the executive officer, ignoring all the excitement around him.

Gu Yihan brought Feng all the way to the Liuli Pavilion.

Gu Yihan looked up at the bustling street market, and for a moment he felt that he was still in a dream.

Crossing, transformation, rebirth, suffering...

All this seemed like yesterday.

He thanked the newly appeared ice-attributed God's Eye for awakening his past with Lei Dianying.

He also thanked Zhidong for awakening his previous memories of the serious illness.

He has never been a generous person, and he often takes revenge for his slightest grievance.

Now that he has stepped on this world of wrong dimension again, he is very grateful for everything that has happened.

Feng saw that his executive officer was a little absent-minded, so he asked him carefully.

"Sir, you have been standing here for 20 minutes. Do you have any new plans?"

Gu Yihan came back to his senses and pointed to the high Yinyue Zuiying Building and told Feng.

"Go to the restaurant to inform the other members of the team, and sneak into Inazuma secretly in three days and wait for instructions."

"Yes!"

After the instructions, Gu Yihan walked quickly towards the direction of Yujingtai.

Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Ayuan for a year.

Gu Yihan was a little impatient, but also a little worried and guilty, because he didn't know whether Ayuan was in good condition now.

During the winter days, he had thought about taking Ayuan back, but at that time he...

was indeed not suitable to see Ayuan.

It was enough for him to know his embarrassed appearance.

Feng respectfully took on the task, and after watching Gu Yihan leave, he turned around and stepped onto the steps leading to the restaurant.

Yujingtai Shaoqing Mansion...

Although he has grown up a year, Ayuan still can't get rid of the habit of sitting alone under the plum tree, waiting for Gu Yihan to come back.

Every day after school, the first thing he does is to wait for his brother under the red plum tree.

Wait until the sunset and the moon rises on the branches.

In order not to be urged to sleep by Xiaoyi, Ayuan moved his desk under the tree and bought a very bright small desk lamp.

After eating under the tree, he would lower his head to write.

Write for a while, look up at the direction of the gate for a while...

In this way, he survived one night after another of silent waiting.

Tonight is the 363rd day and 6 hours that Ayuan has been sitting under the red plum tree waiting for his brother to appear.

Tonight is also the day that Zhongli promised Ayuan to accompany him once a week.

Under the bright moonlight, the two sat there in silence.

Ayuan was reading a book, and Zhongli was looking at Ayuan.

For thousands of years, Zhongli had never been so close to anyone.

A year passed in a flash, and with the company of day and night, Zhongli had already developed a deep affection for Ayuan.

In Zhongli's eyes, Ayuan seemed like a child he had brought up.

This child was different from everyone he had ever met. There was no Mr. Zhongli or Emperor Yan in his eyes.

Zhongli was not as profound and difficult to understand as others had said.

A few minutes later, Ayuan put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

Raised his arms and faced Zhongli, "Brother Zhongli, I'm a little cold..."

Zhongli smiled with his lips pursed, raised his hand and patted his thigh, motioning Ayuan to come over.

"You still feel cold? I told you to go to the study to read a book a long time ago, but you didn't listen."

"Why? You were so engrossed in reading that you only remembered me after you finished reading?"

Zhongli liked Ayuan very much, and thought that the relationship between this child and him would continue to heat up.

But he never thought that after the incident of the battle between the two gods, he would be hated by Ayuan to that extent...

His sincerity now would become worthless to Ayuan.

Ayuan grinned and fluttered directly into Zhongli's arms.

"Oh, what's so good about the study? My brother is not here, and I don't want to go in."

"Besides, Brother Zhongli's arms are much warmer than the study."

Zhongli glared at Ayuan with pretended disdain.

"You are good at talking. You are already seven years old, and you are not ashamed to sit in the arms of a grown man."

Ayuan smiled and lay in Zhongli's arms as usual.

"Yeah... I'm seven years old..." At this point, A Yuan's eyes lit up and he suddenly asked Zhong Li.

"Brother Zhong Li, do you know how old my brother is?"

After thinking for a while, Zhong Li shook his head helplessly, "I don't know"But judging from his appearance, he should be around 20-24 years old."

"It doesn't matter. I'll ask my brother when he comes back. I want to celebrate his birthday..."

Ayuan said, his voice lowered a lot.

When will he wait for his brother...

Ayuan's face showed the same sleepiness as usual. Zhongli asked him with concern, "Are you sleepy?"

"Go to sleep if you want. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and it will be very lively."

"Tomorrow night, I'll take you to listen to Teacher Yunjin's play, okay?"

"Okay..." Ayuan responded dazedly and slowly closed his eyes.

In his dream, he seemed to hear his brother's voice.

But he was very sleepy and not sure whether it was...

"Falling asleep? "Gu Yihan walked up to Zhongli and took Ayuan, who was sleeping in Zhongli's arms.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Gu Yihan saw Zhongli coaxing Ayuan to sleep.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

After all, he didn't think that the calm and steady Mr. Zhong would be interested in children.

Looking at Gu Yihan who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhongli was slightly surprised for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

After sending Ayuan back to the bedroom, Gu Yihan took Zhongli to the living room.

Seeing Gu Yihan again, Zhongli couldn't help but feel relieved.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you encountered any difficult things?"

Gu Yihan raised his hand and touched the bouquet of withered red plums on the table and smiled easily.

"Well, I took over some more difficult tasks, so I haven't come to Liyue for a long time."

"I heard that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival in Liyue. Mr. Zhongli, why don't you take me around?"

"Okay. "Zhongli agreed readily, and his joy was obvious in his words.

"If you don't mind, I'll take you around tomorrow."

"Okay, before coming to Liyue, I heard that the new chef of Wanmin Hall..."

The two chatted until after one in the morning, and after drinking several bottles of fine wine, Zhongli got up and left.

In the quiet and deserted gorgeous living room, Gu Yihan raised his hand to touch the withered red plum, and murderous intent surged on his drunken face.

I thought this would be a good place to go, but I couldn't stand the sadness of this person leaving and the flowers withering...

Everything in Shaoqing Mansion remained the same, but the person who originally bought this mansion had long been frozen underground.

All this pain...

He will end it with his own hands!
