People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

In her field of expertise, Qin will become a familiar acting head, handling everything meticulously, dignified and calm.

When it comes to areas where she is not good at, she will reveal a surprisingly cute side.

This was his first night with Jean.

Looking up at the wall clock, the time is almost halfway through.

These chapters are all laying the groundwork, and it takes a lot of brainpower to write. It seems to be a million points late, and the second is even later...

Longqitan under the Moon: Chapter 47 Miss Gurnhild wants me to return the book

There was an empty dinner plate in front of her. After sitting like this for a while, Jean stood up.

"I'm here to help clean it up."

Put away the tableware and the iron plate that was still warm, and then picked up the rag to wipe the table clean. The whole process seemed extremely neat, and it seemed that there was a lot of work on weekdays.

Gu Bai always thought that someone would take care of the housework for her, but it was only later that she realized that these were all done by Qin herself, and even the clothes were washed by herself in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Qin was about to walk out with a plate, Gu Bai quickly stopped her.

"I'll clean it up during the day, let's put it aside for now."

In this world, although there are half-technical and half-alchemy products such as street lamps, there is no heating and air conditioning. In this kind of weather, the water temperature drops, and it is too cold to go out to wash dishes at night.

Qin didn't insist, instead she sorted out the items on the table, and stacked a few books that Gu Bai casually put down, when she suddenly saw a familiar book cover.

Qin froze for a moment, then took another quick look.

Isn't this the melancholy of the young girl Vera?

I searched for it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be here with Gu Bai.

Does he read this book too...

In a strange mood, she noticed that there was a thin layer of floating dust on the book, and it seemed that she hadn't read it for a long time.

She roughly guessed what happened in her heart, but Qin became troubled by it.

Turning his head to look at Gu Bai, the other party didn't notice what happened here, so the reason for not returning it for a long time is probably because he completely forgot about it.

She wanted to read this book very much, but the content in the book was unusual, unlike other types of novels, she could ask directly.

In normal times, the acting group leader's way of doing things might give up.

At most, I would go to the library every day after the incident, until the day when Lisa came to the door.

But perhaps affected by the atmosphere tonight, Qin was about to think of a way. She always had a hunch that if she didn't see it, she wouldn't even think about reading this book this week.

In terms of what Gu Bai just summed up, Qin, who doesn't know how to say this, has already entered the second stage of wild thinking.

But what to say?

"What a coincidence, you also read this book?"

This is definitely not possible. People who have flipped through a few times will understand the content of the book.

"I remember this book is in the library, don't forget to return it."

Deliberately overdoing it, it still doesn't work.

"Can you lend me a look?"

This exposes more directly.

"It's so boring, why don't you find a book to read", and then pick it up as if nothing had happened?

But it would be too rude to say that...

Seeing Qin standing by the table all the time, Gu Bai felt a little strange.

Then he saw Qin pick up the teacup, turn around, and the aura of the whole person changed obviously, as if the deputy captain had returned.

"Mr. Gu..."

Uh, how do you call it back again?

"You haven't had a good walk since you came to Mond."

In fact, I've already walked around...

Qin showed a pensive look, and seemed to have thought it through before slowly opening her mouth: "In that case, I recommend you to visit the library on the first floor."

"If you want to understand the local customs, or pass the time when you are bored, it is the best place to go."

Seeing Gu Bai nodding unconsciously, Qin took out her calm state at work and put on a businesslike tone.

She picked up the cup and took a sip, her aura was even stronger, but it would have been better if it wasn't filled with fruit juice.

"Speaking of which, my good friend, Ms. Lisa, the librarian, doesn't look like she is a lazy and elegant lady on weekdays, but once she finds out that someone hasn't returned the books after the due date, she will become very scary."

As she spoke, Qin secretly looked at Gu Bai's expression.

"exactly."

As soon as Gu Bai slapped his thigh, he immediately laughed, but it's a pity that Brother Kaizi is not here.

"...as a knight, I consider punctuality a necessary virtue."

"really."

"Does Mr. Gu have any favorite books?"

"No."

The air suddenly fell silent like this, Gu Bai was a little puzzled, although he didn't know the reason, but he had some experience on how to deal with the cold scene, at this time, he just had to throw the question back intact.

"Does Qin have any favorite books?"

"Historical Fiction."

Seeing that there was absolutely no way to do it, Qin was discouraged, so she had to think of a way in the future, and she continued to chat along this topic:

"It's about the history of Old Mond, and some biography of Lady Vanessa."

This is not what she said casually, except for the ulterior secret, among the remaining categories she is most interested in the past history.

"In addition, there is also the story of Lord Fengshen. I happened to be watching it recently because of the matter of the Dragon of the East Wind."

This time it was Gu Bai's turn to be silent.

He really wanted to tell the girl as little as possible to read the story about Barbatos, otherwise you might be fooled when you meet the real person.

In the classics compiled by the church, Lord Fengshen is a reliable god who is diligent and caring for the people at all times, and will only show up at critical moments.

It made Gu Bai wonder where this version came from.

Since meeting Wendy Bendy that day, maybe she has found a new home, and Wendy, who has completely let herself go, will go to the square of the Fengshen Statue every day to sing loudly.

Once he leaned over to listen curiously for a while, and it turned out that he was singing a story called "The New Biography of Barbatos".

As for the meaning of this "new", it was named by Wendy himself in order to distinguish it from the church version.

In the new biography of Barbatos, compared with the elegant and romantic image of the original version, the new Barbatos is more than a grade.

This Barbatos would always have some grotesque adventures, doing wild and outrageous things recklessly, such as stealing the ice god's scepter and putting a Chuchu stick in place instead.

Another example is talking and laughing with the god of rock, and being regarded as a guest by the other party.

Or teach the god of thunder the ultimate sword technique, and walk away with a bunch of three-color balls before leaving...

The corner of Gu Bai's mouth twitched.

This is Barbatos?

What the heck is Sparta!

After singing, this kid came to ask him for money with a smile on his face. At that time, Gu Bai really couldn't control his expression, so he threw down a few moras and fled.

If he continues to sing, it is estimated that there will not be a few versions of the story of the Wind Demon God killing the Quartet and chasing the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin in front of him with some sympathy.

Sure enough, the rock king is still reliable.

Gu Bai changed the subject nonchalantly:

"People in every country care about their own gods. In Liyue, the children grow up listening to the stories of the rock gods."

Interested in watching the piano, Gu Bai continued to introduce:

"However, the specific methods are somewhat different. In Mond, this kind of storytelling profession is called bard, while in Liyue it is called storyteller."

"It is said that the emperor once said when he was going on an expedition—" Gu Bai lowered his voice and imitated a passage, "It's like the above."

"Liyue who walked with the gods...it must be a magnificent story if you tell it carefully."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I have forgotten all about it now, let me think about what Lord Yan said at that time..."

"Oh, don't kick the second life."

……

As if the endless night passed by slowly, the two laughed and chatted a lot, until a touch of tiredness emerged.

Qin glanced at the wall clock, only to realize that so much time had passed unknowingly, which obviously disturbed Gu Bai's rest, and she showed an apologetic expression.

"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway."

"It's not long before dawn, why don't you rest here."

Jean had extinguished the fireplace when the knights were off work, and now it was the coldest time to go back.

Both of them are mature adults, so they won't be embarrassed about this kind of thing, or they can imagine it because of it. They are just the most practical suggestions for the current situation.

What's more, since he came to Mond, he often chatted with Qin at night. Although it was not as late as today, there was no need to avoid suspicion.

"Well, that would be troublesome."

Jean nodded with a smile.

Gu Bai walked to the cabinet and found a blanket on the top floor:

"It's been left here and hasn't been used, so let's cover it."

Only one desk lamp was left, and the two sat down facing each other, leaning against the sofa and not speaking.

In the silence, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Feeling sleepy, Qin closed her eyes, but the conversations just now kept replaying in her mind, some happy, some reckless... It made it difficult for her to fall asleep for a while.

Under the weak light, the eyes opened a slit, and the man on the opposite side was squinting, breathing steadily.

The other party gave her a different feeling tonight.

Although this Mr. Gu sometimes deliberately said something to cheer up the atmosphere, he is obviously a person who knows how to measure.

On weekdays, the two of them seldom talk about topics related to themselves. For some things that are inconvenient to talk about, once they are mentioned, they will stop.

He always said that he was too polite, but in fact he was the most polite one, you will find this after getting along for a long time.

Just like crossing a dark river by boat, he will always comfort and encourage you during the lonely and dark journey, but when you suddenly look back, you find that he has not moved a step on the bank from the beginning to the end.

In fact, apart from Gu Bai, because of her work and personality, she herself is in a state of politeness but not closeness in her daily communication.

Tonight was a bit different. There were not many times when he completely let go of the airs of acting head, but this feeling seemed to be good.

Thinking of this, Qin slowly closed his eyes again.

In just a flash of divine effort, the first ray of sunlight in the morning slipped into the room, Qin Qin blinked her eyelashes slightly, and folded the blanket. She stood up quietly and kept her footsteps lightest. ringing.

Gu Bai looked like he hadn't woken up, he stood up after thinking about it, he stretched long:

"If you're free tonight, would Qin please give me some advice..."

……

Not long after, next door, Yingmei opened her eyes suspiciously.

If I remember correctly, only Mr. Gu lives on this floor.

So, what happened to the female voice she heard in the middle of the night?
