Seeing little Ningguang's pitiful expression, Fang Xun found it both amusing and endearing.
He reached out and gently flicked Ningguang's nose, then spoke softly, "Little Ningguang, you still have many tasks to do in the village. Finish those first."
"Tasks?"
Ningguang blinked her big, watery eyes, looking puzzled.
Fang Xun nodded and continued, "Yes, are you not preparing for the village's construction plan these days?"
"Once construction starts, it can't stop. You need to consider many things, and this is a very arduous task. You need time to think."
Construction plan…
Little Ningguang had already planned what the villagers would do for the next week.
But now, hearing Fang Xun's words, it seemed there were many things she hadn't considered.
Seeing the young Ningguang swayed, Fang Xun continued, "Also, didn't I ask Master Mao to prepare some fruit for you?"
"Your mission is to finish all those fruits before I return."
"If I come back and find you haven't finished them, I'll have to punish you, understand?"
Originally, little Ningguang was quite sad,
but hearing Fang Xun's last words, she couldn't help but laugh through her tears.
"Eating the fruit... what kind of mission is that..."
Little Ningguang knew very well,
Fang Xun was just using the mission as an excuse to get her to eat more nutritious food.
At first, little Ningguang was quite worried,
worried that Fang Xun would make more and more friends in Liyue and gradually wouldn't like her anymore.
Ningguang was afraid of losing Fang Xun, so she always wanted to stay by his side.
It wasn't until now that Ningguang realized her worries were completely unnecessary.
Because she could feel it,
Brother Fang Xun was still the same Brother Fang Xun,
the Brother Fang Xun who took meticulous care of her.
"Ningguang understands. Ningguang will complete the task Fang Xun-gege left, and then sit here waiting for Fang Xun-gege to return."
Little Ningguang, though a bit willful, was mostly considerate, a very sensible and well-behaved child.
"Good girl." Fang Xun ruffled Ningguang's little head, his face full of doting affection.
After instructing Ningguang on some matters, Fang Xun moved away from the crowd and walked towards the quiet entrance of the village.
There, Qiqi and Ganyu were waiting quietly.
During the short time Fang Xun was away, he had been worried that Qiqi, being a child, might have said something to embarrass Ganyu.
Unexpectedly, Qiqi and Ganyu were getting along very well.
And now, Qiqi was holding Ganyu's hand, the two girls chatting and laughing.
It was obvious that Ganyu really liked Qiqi.
So much so that Ganyu, who usually wasn't good at talking to people, had said a lot today.
Fang Xun walked forward and said with a smile, "Sorry for the delay. Let's head out now."
As soon as Fang Xun finished speaking, Qiqi reached out her hand towards him.
At the same time, Qiqi said in a milky voice, "Hold hands... hold hands..."
"The wind is strong... Fang Xun, don't get blown away."
The little girl's eyes were innocent and pure; she was worried that Fang Xun would be blown away by the wind like her.
It was truly adorable.
Fang Xun had a faint smile on his face as he reached out and took Qiqi's hand.
"Alright, hold Qiqi's hand."
From a distance, the three of them looked like a young couple taking their child for a walk.
Not far from the village, a patrol of the Qianyan Army was on duty.
Because of the previous incident with the Ancient Geovishap,
the Liyue Qixing had specifically deployed troops to prevent a repeat of the previous tragedy.
Night patrols were always a bit dull and uncomfortable, and a member of the Qianyan Army wanted to break the atmosphere.
"Have you guys heard the rumors lately? They say Lady Ganyu is already married? And even has a child?"
He brought up the hot topic buzzing around Liyue Harbor lately.
As soon as he spoke, another member of the Qianyan Army immediately denied it, "Rumors, that's definitely a rumor!"
"Lady Ganyu is swamped with work, she's busy every day, there's no way she's married! And it's even more impossible for her to have a child!"
"Besides, Lady Ganyu is so outstanding, who could possibly be worthy of Lady Ganyu?"
"That's true, these words are just groundless rumors, I don't know where they even came from."
"Alright, the affairs of those Adepti aren't for us to discuss, let's just focus on our patrol... Wait, look over there, isn't that Lady Ganyu?"
The patrolling Qianyan Army noticed a figure that looked like Ganyu under the dim lamplight.
"It's indeed Ganyu-daren, and there's a man and a child with her??"
The Qianyan Army soldiers exchanged glances, too surprised to speak.
Could it be that Ganyu-daren was really married and had children?
A family of three, walking hand in hand, was the best proof.
"You must not..."
"Don't worry, Captain, we'll keep it a secret!"
Yesterday, I cheekily asked for some free gifts, thinking no one would care,
But everyone's support surprised me.
As a struggling author, seeing readers willing to give so many gifts made my nose tingle; I felt a bit overwhelmed.
Thank you all, I'm truly grateful.
I have nothing to offer in return, only to update more to thank everyone for the free gifts.
There will be two more updates later.
Finally, thank you again, everyone, for the gifts.
