Xavier glanced at the living room and saw only Alhaitham sitting there reading a book.
Presumably, only Alhaitham could be so calm, not even saying a word when he saw him return.
"Hai Ge, where did everyone else go?" Xavier asked.
Alhaitham turned a page of his book and said, "Most people have gone back. As for the Liyue people, I haven't seen any today, so you must have gone there."
Alhaitham was indeed a genius; he immediately guessed the situation.
"That's right."
Xavier didn't hide anything and told Alhaitham what had happened to him today.
"It seems you had a lot of fun. Next time, you can go to Sumeru, and I can take you to experience Sumeru's scenery and culture then."
"Hehe, thank you then."
After saying thank you, Xavier went upstairs.
Because Alhaitham had just said that Furina was upstairs.
At this moment, Furina was wearing a loose dress, lying on the bed and looking at a tablet.
"Wuwuwu, I can't believe Shenhe's background is so tragic; no wonder he doesn't like to talk."
Furina wiped away her tears with a tissue while lamenting Shenhe's tragic past.
He happened to be doing Shenhe's Story Quest, which was why he felt this way.
"Sigh, Xavier must have gone to Liyue. I should have gone with him."
Furina put down the tablet, feeling very regretful.
However, at this moment, Furina felt a chill from behind her.
"What's going on? I didn't turn on the air conditioner, so why is it suddenly cold...?"
Furina touched her neck, not thinking much of it, just finding it a bit strange.
He initially thought he had just imagined it, but after a while, he felt another chill on his neck.
"Ah, what's going on!"
Furina was startled and quickly jumped off the bed, carefully observing her surroundings.
This feeling was too strange; there was nothing in the room, so why was there a chill?
"Could it be... could it be...?"
Furina shivered, remembering the horror movies he had watched!
It is said that some houses have unclean things, especially when a person is alone.
These unclean things will appear and then kill the person!
"No, no way. I've lived here for so long, even if there were ghosts, they wouldn't appear now."
Furina could only comfort himself with such words, swallowing his saliva as he spoke.
"Furina~ I died a terrible death~"
A mournful voice came, and Furina froze in terror.
"Wait, wait a minute, is there really something here?"
Furina didn't dare to look back because, according to the laws of horror movies, looking back at this moment would definitely reveal something terrifying.
"You... don't look for me. I'm not the owner of this house. If you want to find someone, go find Xavier!"
"And also, I'm just here for tourism. I'm not a native here."
"I'm a Teyvatian. Your Blue Star ghosts shouldn't bother me, right? They wouldn't, right?"
Xavier, using his ethereal skill, was both annoyed and amused. All the bad things for me, and all the good things for you, right?
This made Xavier even angrier. He came behind Furina, materialized his hand, and patted her shoulder.
Furina was already terrified, and then her shoulder was patted, which made her even more scared out of her wits.
"Help!"
Furina remembered one of the three laws of horror movies: if you hide under the covers, the ghost cannot attack you!
So he immediately burrowed into Xavier's quilt.
Even so, he continued to shiver.
"That's right, as long as I hide under the covers, he definitely won't come to attack me."
"The quilt has powerful strength; even the strongest ghost cannot lift the quilt to attack me. This is the rule!"
Furina constantly reinforced this idea, trying to boost his confidence.
However, reality was clearly incredibly cruel; even though he was hiding under the covers, he still seemed to feel that sensation.
He closed his eyes tightly, continuously praying for the other party to leave.
But when he secretly opened his eyes to look, he found that the quilt had been lifted!
"No! How can you be so dishonorable? How can you launch a sneak attack?"
Furina wanted to run off the bed, but he was restrained by a force.
More accurately, this force felt like a pair of hands pressing him firmly onto the bed, making him unable to move.
"Oh, you actually said to come to me for anything. I raised you for nothing!"
A familiar voice came, but Furina, due to extreme fright, didn't even realize it.
"Don't look for me, don't look for me, go find Xavier instead. This is his room, and this is his house."
Furina kept waving his hands, pushing all the blame onto Xavier.
Xavier became even angrier, dispelled his ethereal skill, and stared intently at Furina.
"Furina, you're too disloyal!"
"I'm not disloyal, I'm just a little girl..."
Furina spoke half a sentence, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw Xavier staring directly at him.
"Huh? How is it you, Xavier? Where did that ghost go?"
Furina still hadn't gotten smarter, constantly looking around, trying to find the ghost's figure.
"I am that ghost! Can you explain what you meant by what you just said?" Xavier pulled open the quilt.
Furina rubbed his shoulder, saying somewhat guiltily, "I... I just said it casually. Anyway, there's no ghost, right?"
"What if there really is a ghost?"
"Even if there really is a ghost, I won't be afraid. Hmm, I have a Vision, and everyone will notice and protect me, right?"
He talked to himself, but then suddenly remembered something very important.
He immediately gained confidence and glared at Xavier, saying, "Wait a minute, how did you get in just now? I remember the door was supposed to be closed!"
"Ah? This..."
Xavier suddenly became flustered, saying vaguely, "Maybe you didn't close it tightly, and I just pushed it open and came in."
"No, no, even if we didn't close it tightly, I wouldn't have failed to notice you coming in."
"Besides, when you were playing tricks on me just now, I didn't even see a shadow. You must have used some special ability!"
Xavier gave an awkward smile and immediately changed the subject.
"I almost forgot you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll go make dinner for you!"
Xavier took off running, and Furina chased right after him.
"You're not allowed to run! Explain what's going on right now!"
"I'll tell you next time. I need to cook."
"No..."
Watching the two constantly chasing and playing in the living room, Alhaitham shook his head and continued reading his book.
